DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING...sniffles it's sad I know...but I don't own anything but my laptop.
RE-CAP
Finally lunch time came for Rin. The morning seemed like it was going by soo slow. As usual Rin took out her journal and began writing in it:
Well life at moonlite falls is definitely weird. This place has all kinds of weird stuff happening. I am in love with a vampire, and I am a gypsy with magic. I can probably conjure up a spell like a witch if I really wanted to. The nasty tea my mother has told me that nana conjures up when one is sick…well that was given to Sesshomaru to drink. He was anything but sick…he said Nana told him it will help control his thirst for blood. Hmmm. I think I will have to see what all I can do whether or not I decide to use my gifts or not. If I do have talent with spells and herbs then I will just be a freak. But isn't that what Sesshomaru is…a freak in society. LOL well maybe me and him will be freaks together. I guess I will have to find that other book Reina's Journal mentioned. My meadow will be my practice area. If my mother knows what I am doing she will throw a fit and tell me not to believe in Nana's nonsense of magic. This is something I have to do…I have to see what talent I may possess.
With that written Rin closed her book and left for her final class.
Chapter 5:
At home Rin opened up Reina's Journal and began flipping through the pages until she smelt a fragrance of Jasmine.
The date of this entry is not of importance. I am pushing a 100 now and the times are changing. My grandchildren don't believe in the gypsy way any more. They just want to fit into society. The only one I can trust is my granddaughter Tsubaki. She understands her gifts, but is still wary of what is going on in today's world. She asked me to keep her teachings of our people a secret from the rest of the family. She made her very own version of my spell book, but Tsubaki is starting to go her own way in life. I am very proud of her but…I am in fear for the rest of the future generations. Our family's way could very well end with Tsubaki. If any of my future family finds this. They are to turn five more pages after following your nose to this page. There you will learn how to get to the spell book. Farewell my darlings.
Rin quickly flipped over five more pages and began to read,
I've hidden my spell book with magic. Only my kin of kin can find it. The moon must look like your necklace, and you need to go out to the meadow. The special one that has wild flowers and boulders in the middle where one can lounge for hours. All you will have to do my darlings is to look deep inside your soul for the right words to summon my book. Please be careful and use it wisely. I will not tolerate my kin to use their gifts for evil.
"Well…that was a bust. How will I know what to say? She talks in riddles just like nana. Ughhh this is hopeless. Tomorrow the moon will be perfect….hmmm. I guess it won't hurt to try it." Rin muttered to herself.
"Won't hurt to try what?" a familiar voice said behind her. Rin turned to see Sesshomaru leaning against her door frame to her room.
"Don't worry about it." Rin said slamming the book closed, "what are you doing here any way."
"Am I not allowed to be here…?" Sesshomaru said walking towards the bed sitting across from Rin.
'Reina listen take the white lit candle and put it in between you and Sesshomaru and say don't come near…trust me it will work.' A strange voice in Rin's head chuckled while instructing Rin. With a curious look Rin looked at the candle she didn't remember lighting and did what the voice told her.
"Don't come near." Rin said placing the candle between her and Sesshomaru, just as he was reaching for her a force stopped him from getting past the candle.
"Damn it…not funny Rin…" Sesshomaru pouted.
"Oooo…I like that…I'll have to remember that one for later when I am extremely mad at you." Rin laughed blowing out the candle, "all is done, come here."
"Not funny….your powers are starting to wake." Sesshomaru scooted next to Rin pulling her onto his lap.
"Tomorrow night I need to be left alone…ok"
"Why…"
"Personal….please promise you will stay away tomorrow."
"Hmmm no…not until you tell me why."
"You're not my mother. I don't have to tell you a damn thing."
"True. I may not be your mother but it doesn't mean I don't worry."
"I need you to trust me. I just need time to myself. There are things I have to deal with tomorrow and I don't need you, to distract me." Rin smiled leaning back against Sesshomaru's rock hard chest.
"Fine…you win. I will give you some space to get your thoughts straightened. It will be hard to stay away, but I won't overcrowd you." Sesshomaru whispered in Rin's ear holding her firmly against his chest.
"Good, now that's settled it's getting late. I have much to do tomorrow." Rin stated sliding off of Sesshomaru's lap, lying next to him on the bed drifting to sleep.
RIN'S DREAM
Rin found herself in her meadow like all of her dreams in moonlite falls had led her to. This time something seemed well…rather different. Normally she would be in the meadow on a clear moon lit sky and some times Sesshomaru would be there waiting for her. This dream she had felt would turn into a night mare, her lovely meadow wasn't as beautiful as she would have expected it to be. It was cold, foggy, and had an eerie feel to it. Some thing told her to get out of that place and fast.
"Sesshomaru!!" Rin tried calling.
"He's not here Gypsy." A deep voice answered.
"Who are you? And what are you doing here." Rin demanded trying to sound tough.
The shadow figure just laughed at her and walked closer to her with the fog concealing his identity. Rin could feel this creature circle her like she was going to be his meal. She had felt his breath on the back of her neck before stopping in front of her. "Hmm…you're a demanding lil cupcake aren't you. Been a while since I seen a gypsy. Thought the old hag was the last of them."
"I'm not going to repeat myself again." Rin snapped not caring if this creature could kill her or not. She knew this was her dream damn it and she wasn't going to let this thing get the best of her.
"The name's Koga. I am the leader of my werewolf tribe. I've been watching you for a while now gypsy. I was just unable to talk to you because your blood sucker was around. I'm surprised that I am here right now with you. Since that old hag buried her book I guess the meadow I'm lounging in is linking our dreams together. Huh who would have ever thought a gypsy was good at anything. Even though I wish I could have talked to you in person rather than here. I can see why the blood sucker doesn't leave your side. You're absolutely gorgeous." Koga said taking his hand and brushing it across Rin's cheek.
"You still haven't told me why you are here and why have you been watching me…stalker." Rin said taking a step back out of Koga's reach.
"STALKER!! LOOKY HERE GIRLY. I AM NO STALKER. I was just curious. Your powers are beginning to bloom and everything around nature can detect it…well except humans of course. They can't detect rain until it falls on their nose. You see I am still a young werewolf, and certain things still interest me. I never thought in all of my years that a gypsy can be young and beautiful like you. I always thought they were old hags. It also caught my interest to why the blood sucker was hanging around your way. He normally stays to himself. It's my job to make sure no innocent life is taken, since his clan swears not to dine on humans. Werewolves and blood suckers are mortal enemies. We both live forever, but the only difference is that we are actually living and can die in battle. The blood suckers are already dead, except they walk and talk and look almost like stone." Koga lectured.
Rin just rolled her eyes at him. He was so mellow dramatic at times. Rin didn't know which one was worse the dramatic wolf or the over protective vamp. Her thoughts were stirred by a growl that Koga made.
"Looks like I can't stay long. My comrades need me…until next time lady." Koga said kissing the back of Rin's hand and leaving her alone in the foggy meadow.
END OF DREAM
Rin stirred a little snuggling herself against Sesshomaru. She didn't want to wake up just yet; she was too comfortable on Sesshomaru's chest. Unfortunately for her, Sesshomaru didn't allow her to sleep in.
"Come on Rin…time to get up. I need to stretch." Sesshomaru whined.
"You're just as whiny as that damn wolf." Rin muttered sitting up in bed.
"What wolf…." Sesshomaru said in alarm.
"The one from my dream. Trust me when I say I don't know which one is worse with calling me gypsy you or him." Rin said not picking up on Sesshomaru's distress, "Any way, I have to get dressed. So you my dear will have to leave."
"Hmmm who's gonna make me…" Sesshomaru smirked evilly.
"Don't play with me Sesshomaru. I'm not fully awake yet." Rin warned.
"Awww is the Gypsy still tired. You're hot when you sound threatening." Sesshomaru smiled pulling Rin against him, resting his hands around her waist.
"Don't piss me off or you will be sorry." Rin growled into Sesshomaru's chest.
"Sounds tempting to try…but I will let it go until later." Sesshomaru teased, "So what are we doing today?"
"Uh we nothing…I am being left alone for the day. I have lots of preparation to do. And don't you start your shit. You go hunting with your family today and I will see you when you get back. I really don't want a vampire breathing down my neck today….no matter how sexy and irresistible he is. Plus you already agreed to leave me alone." Rin stated before she went to the bathroom to get a shower and to get changed.
When she got out of the shower Sesshomaru was already gone. Probably went hunting so he could get back as soon as possible. Rin dried her hair as she looked over the list of things she needed. It was hard for her to stay focused; she felt something eating at her subconscious. It was like something bad was going to happen soon, but it was hard to tell what was going to happen and when. Rin shook off the feeling and prepared her stuff in a back pack for tonight.
IN THE MEADOW THAT NIGHT
Rin placed some lit candles on the boulders giving her some extra light around her book. She reread the journal entry again trying to see if it was going to make any sense. No such luck. "What am I suppose to do now….this isn't making sense." Rin muttered in frustration.
'Little Reina have patience. It all will come to you. Please listen carefully and concentrate. Look deep within…the wolf was right the book is hidden here. You have to say I call upon mother earth to request my name sakes possession. Please reveal what is mine.' The mysterious voice said as if it was a whisper in the wind.
"Here goes nothing…I call upon mother earth to request my name sakes possession. Please reveal what is mine." Rin said with her whole heart. The moon shone brightly down on a patch of flowers. With a blink of an eye an old book was resting on top of that patch of flowers. "Wow…it worked." Rin mumbled.
"Nice work Gypsy." A familiar voice said a few feet away not coming near the boulders.
"You...Why are you here?" Rin said clutching her new discovery.
"I didn't smell your blood sucker around. So I took the pleasure of coming to see you. I mean you no harm. Plus I figured if you have no problem hanging around vampires you should have no problems with wolves." Koga smirked.
"Oh so you're stalking me again….Geez first it's my dreams and now in person. Isn't there a wolf repellent I can get to keep you away?" Rin huffed in annoyance.
"Well you already have your own repellant. You used your candles as protection….like sorcery. Gypsies can camp out with just their charms and candles for protection. It creates a barrier to keep away anything that is not completely human. In this forest, non-human creatures are what you will find. You weren't here for a whole month and you already found a vampire. I am surprised he has kept his other half in check around you. He always kept his distance from humans." Koga explained intrigued.
"What do you mean keep his other side in check? I understand that Sesshomaru is a vampire…but I don't understand what you mean."
"Sesshomaru has his regular side that you have always seen….but as your gypsy side wakes it changes the scent of your blood…you will smell better than a mouth watering steak to a dog. He has been struggling already with trying not to feed on your blood."
"You're lying! Sesshomaru will never be like that. He is perfectly fine. As a matter of fact he went hunting today…so it should show you how much he actually cares for me. I want you to stay away from me…or else." Rin threatened.
Koga just rolled his eyes at the gypsy's attempted threat. He decided to let her find out for herself. "Whatever…don't you come crying to me when he tries to take a bite of you." With that said koga left.
Rin sat on one of the boulders with the candles close by. She didn't want to believe that guy. He was just a werewolf…what did he know about Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru is in love with her, and wouldn't do anything to hurt her...Right? "Oh great, now I am questioning myself. Damn wolf. Why did he have to meddle in my business? That's it he is jealous. Cause after all he is stalking me and he doesn't want Sesshomaru to be happy. Yea that's it. Don't worry Rin everything will be fine now.' Rin told herself in her head. She waited on top of the boulder awhile before deciding to head back home.
A/N: Ok that is it for now….I am sorry to all of my readers for making yall wait soooo long for an update. Work has been hectic and I have been too tired to even function. I will try to update again soon. I promise.
