A Shadowed Apparition
Chapter 3: Lost in a Dream
"You…you're a…vamp…" she didn't even get to finish her sentence because he was already gone. "He was…a…a…Vampire…." She said, tenderly feeling the spot on her neck where his fangs had brushed against her. Suddenly she collapsed onto the floor in a dead faint.
Sunlight streamed through the open window, its curtains billowed elegantly in the summer breeze. Slowly opening her eyes, she yawned and sat up. After stretching fully, she collapsed back down onto the pile of squashy pillows, with a sigh of content. Pushing the covers aside she got out of bed and walked over to the open window. A gentle gust of wind playfully tossed some of her hair around, her locks seeming to dance, made her giggle. A flash of light behind her caused her to whirl around in surprise with a startled expression animating her face.
A figure was standing in the doorway of her bedroom. He was leaning casually against the doorframe with a seductive, un-dead smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed two lethal fangs.
She backed up until she was against the window. She looked around herself for an escape but realized that she was trapped. Suddenly he walked towards her with an uncanny slowness that she knew was just to torture her. He stopped a foot away from her and grinned smugly.
"Hello, love…" he said with a voice so liquid smooth it sent a shiver down her spine. He reached out a pale hand to caress her cheek and brush a strand of hair from her face. He gently tucked it behind her ear.
"I'm sorry about earlier tonight. I left you with too many unanswered questions," he pulled away and let his hand drop heavily to his side. He turned away from her just enough so that she would have to strain to be able to see his face. Slowly she walked in front of him. He gazed deeply into her eyes judging their depth of belief.
"Who are you, " she asked in a demure yet authoritative voice. Suddenly his gaze turned cold and he drew away from her. Cautiously she stepped forward, closing the gap between them.
"I want to know your name," she said reaching out to touch his hand. "Tell me…everything," this made him look at her with surprise.
"You want to know?" he asked, his left eyebrow arching upwards. "You mean you're not…frightened?" he moved closer to her and gazed deeply into her startling hazel-green eyes. She shook her head and smiled warmly at him
"No, I am not frightened…" she said gently and took both his hands into hers.
"But why…I'm a…a monster. I almost killed you earlier and yet you are not frightened…all of my victims, they were petrified, scared…completely helpless against my lust for blood. And you…you don't even flinch when I touch you. It's like you understand my way of life…its like you understand me." He finished with a morbid darkness lacing the edges of his voice.
"The truth is…I don't comprehend you, or your way of life…but I am willing to understand everything…no matter what the cost." she responded softly. A slight breeze from the open window made her cotton nightgown gently whip the bottom of her calves.
"You're sure…you really want to know? No human, to put it bluntly, has actually wanted to befriend a vampire in over 400 years, and even then it was all just a false reality to those mere mortals."
"…You realize that I still don't know your name…?" Rin said and grinned girlishly.
"…Sesshomaru…Tayoukai…Lord of the western lands," he replied and bowed gracefully.
"…Sessh…omaru…" the way she said his name caused his lower lip to tremble ever so slightly. The sound of her voice made him feel as if he was slipping into a luxurious bed made of pure silk on a hot night, where the sheets are just cool enough to make you moan in pleasure.
Unexpectedly the sunlight started to fade; Sesshomaru became tense and moved away from Rin with a harried expression that looked anomalous on his gorgeous face.
"What's wrong…what's happening?" Rin said reaching out to him, confused.
"I have spent too much time here…I must leave…" he said with a tinge of regret in his voice. He turned away from her and walked away without another word.
"Wait! Why are you leaving!" she darted after him, but no matter how fast she ran, no matter how hard she tried to reach him…he just got farther away from her. Finally wearing herself out, she stopped running, thinking it was foolish to try to catch up to him now.
