Locked Away Chapter 1
Rin looked out her small window. Her long black hair hung by her petite body frame that seemed to be hugged by her kimono. She was looking for a carriage that should be coming soon. She was feeling a little sad that she would not be meeting the family that was coming, but she never meets anyone. Rin's Parents are Lord Naraku and Lady Kagura of the Northern Lands, and technically she is the princess of the Northern Lands. However, Rin is 17 years old and no one knows she exists. She has been locked away in a tower since she was a baby. The only living people that know about her is Naraku and Kagura. The priestess that delivered her also knew but soon after Rin's birth Naraku had her killed so she couldn't tell anyone. Rin started to wonder why she was kept a secret. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the locks on her door being unbolted. The door swung open and in the door way stood her father.
"Rin get over here" He seemed to be in a bad mood. He was always upset when she was by the window.
"Yes Father" She knew he only came to the tower when he wanted to tell her something important or to bring her food. It wasn't dark so she knew he had something to tell her.
"The Lord and Lady of the Western Lands are coming today with their two sons. You will be fed much later in the night and will not make a single noise during the day. Am I clear"
"Yes Father but why and I kept a secret and not make any noise"
"Are you questioning me" His voice slightly raised.
"No. I was just wondering" right after she spoke she felt a stinging feeling on her cheek. She let out a quiet shriek as she fell to the floor.
"You are not to question what I do" and with that he left her room. Rin heard the door shut and lock. She sat on the ground as tear began to fill her eyes. All of a sudden she heard a carriage pulling up to the castle. She jumped up and ran to her small window.
First she saw a man get out. 'He must be the Lord of the Western Lands'. He had silver hair that was pulled into a low braid. 'He appears to be a demon'. Next a woman stepped out holding the hand of a boy who looked about 5 years old. 'That must be the Lady and their son, but thats impossible. She is a human and so he must be a half demon. How can a half demon-' just then her mind went blank as the last person stepped out of the carriage. He appeared to be about Rin's age, and he had sliver hair that flowed in the wind. 'So he must be full demon and heir to the Western Lands'. She continued to watch them as for a few minutes before she saw her family go out to greet them.
"Oh Lady Izayoi and Lord Inu no Taisho how wonderful to see you and the boys again" Rin knew that voice. It was her mother's voice.
"It has been too long Lady Kagura. Oh my Sota is getting so big" Rin watched as everyone, except the the boy her age, go inside the castle. 'Why isn't he going inside like everyone else' Just then her eyes met his. Rin quickly ducked. 'Oh no did he see me? If he saw me Father will kill me'
"We will be arriving at the castle soon Lord Inu no Taisho"
"Wonderful. Thank you. Sesshomaru" He said turning to his oldest son "you are to be respectful to these people"
"Of course Father" Sesshomaru said Half Heartedly. 'How pathetic is this. A demon having to ask for mere humans for help to defeat stupid wolves.'
"Mi lord we are at the castle now"
"Ok family lets go and I mean it Sesshomaru. You better behave" Sesshomaru nodded as he rolled his eyes. When they got out of the carriage they were greeted by the family of the Northern Lands.
"Oh Lady Izayoi and Lord Inu no Taisho how wonderful to see you and the boys again"
"It has been too long Lady Kagura. Oh my Sota is getting so big"
'She is so fake. I dont understand how father puts up with her. Mother never would have told Father to lower himself and ask mere humans for help. If mother where her things would be much different'. Everyone started to walk towards the castle. Sesshomaru stopped 'what is that scent? It smells like the Lord and Lady but nicer'. He looked at the tower 'It's coming from there.' He looked at her for a second before she looked at him. They looked at each other and for a few seconds before she ducked. 'What the hell is wrong with her? Why didn't see come down to greet us? ' Sesshomaru thought for a moment longer before finally walking toward the rest of the group. 'Perhaps I shall ask Naraku what is in the tower'
"Say Lord Naraku, What is in the tower" Sesshomaru tried to ask in the most respectful way possible.
Naraku and Kagura glanced at each other. As Naraku answered he tried to hide his surprise. "Oh nothing really just some old junk that isn't important. Why do you ask"
"I was just curious, thats all" 'I suppose she is not to be seen. She did look slightly worried when I saw her though"
"Please excuse Sesshomaru's rudeness, it is none of his business what you have in that tower" Sesshomaru heard his Father apologizing for him.
"It's no big deal. Every boy his age is curious about everything." Everyone laughed except Sesshomaru.
'This jackass dares to compare me to a simple human boy' He felt his blood start to boil.
"Ah here we are. I figured that Sesshomaru can stay in this room alone, and Inuyasha would be staying with you and Lady Izayoi's room seeing how young he is."
"Yes thank you very much"
"If it is alright, I shall retire for the afternoon. The trip took alot out of me." Sesshomaru lied. He didn't really need rest, but he wanted to get away from Naraku before he attacked him. Naraku and Inu no Taisho nodded and Sesshomaru entered the room.
Thats the end of chapter 1
