 Hotaru turned to look at Sesshomaru. Setting the plants down, she placed her habdson her hips. "Just what are you talking about Sesshomaru? My intentions have always been visible. I have my land back. You returned Soounga and therfore it is nonvoid on our agreement. I do this to help you. Not to mention the girl is sweet and innocent. I do this now to ease her suffering more than anything else." She didn't bring up the issue with her beast because she felt mostly ashamed. She hadn't been able to control it. Turning back to the table she began grind some of the flowers together. It would help with the aste so the drink wouldn't be as bitter. How she wished her family was alive to help her understand what was going on. She aslo needed to begin her training with the soldiers so she would be able to control her youki side. Her mother had taught her the shadow side of her power. She also hoped that Kyuub would reveal his whereabouts so she could her family's curse before a mysterious death happened to her. She was lucky she had lived for 3000 years. Her mother had only lived to be 200 before she unexpectedly died from something dealing with her heart. She had to break the curse before she died. If she didnt the curse would cause a human to change into a youkai and have to continue the task. It would latch on to all females she considered family.

Sesshomaru knew she was avoiding the question...Sesshomaru returned to the topic of Rin..."how much time does she have...before the witch collects her soul...I understand that even if the conditions are changed...the witch will make her move earlier seeing this attempt to break her conditions" he said calmly as a breeze came through the window blowing his hair slightly...his focus remained fixed on Hotaru
that is if your still alive... ⇋

Motioning to the concoction she was making, Hotaru smiled. "That is why I am making this. In a sense, it will release her soul from her body so that the witch cannot latch on to it. There will be a spell of protection placed within this drink as well. Her body will be like death until my spells can take full effect and change the circumstances. It may not spell pretty but its effectiveness is quite strong." Hotaru felt the breeze flow through. Raising her chin slightly, she closed her eyes in relief. It was hot in the workshop.

Sesshomaru's expression tensed...she would be in a like death phase until the spell was complete...he didn't like the term "death" she used regarding Rin....he felt angry at himself for being powerless to help her..."How do you expect me to trust you after you attempted to claim me...seeing Rin could push your beast side to kill her...after all she is a human.." he said creating a form of hostility in the room...remaining calm..."you are well aware of what happened whether you choose to accept it or not..." he knew seeing his relationship with Rin could drive her beast side to interrupt the spell and kill Rin...

Hotaru waved off the hostility. "I am not stupid Sesshomaru. The only time I seem to have problems with my beast is when you are in close proximity. If anything, right now, it doesn't very much like you for denying her. If anything it is a relief as my beast has never been an issue before now. You can trust me or not. If I don't do this though, the witch will come and attempt to take Rin's soul to hell. The other reason I need to give this to her is because it is very painful what must be done to change the spell. Any time a spell is done, whether good or evil, there is always a price. The price of the one I will perform will be pain for Rin and will bring me close to death. My curse..." her voice died off suddenly. No one knew about the curse of her family. She wasn't about to spill the beans on it. "Lets just say, for me to come that close to death, it could very well be the end for me and my loved ones would pay the price if I were to die." Turning back to the table, Hotaru calmed her breathing. Her hands clenched. She had to find him and destroy him. She just had to. "I give my word that if Rin is harmed in any other way than what I have described, I will bring her back to life myself. I will trade places with her if I must." Looking back at him, Hotaru couldn't help the tears that appeared in her eyes. "If that is what is needed, I will do it." She could understand his mistrust of her beast. This was her that was speaking. "besides, the power I will be using subdues my beast." She would be having to use her miko power for this task. She had in stock already the potion that would help to ease the strain while using it.

Sesshomaru held out his left arm...the one she had replaced using a great deal of magical energy..."This arm...was created using your magical essence...seeing that my arm is still in the other domain where my father rests..means this arm isn't of this world.." he pulled tenseiga and cut his arm...nothing happened as he sheathed the sword...moments later the arm broke up into light and returned to Hotaru...he saw her slowly absorb the energy...no he wasn't powerless...he gave his arm to allow both Hotaru from risking her curse and Rin from suffering...the next breeze of wind moved his empty left sleeve...

Hotaru couldn't help the laughter. "You removed an arm that was truly your own. Look closer Sesshomaru." Hotaru moved forward and gently lifted the sleeve, speaking the unveiling spell. Suddenly the arm was there. "You did indeed discover the surge of my power around the arm. It was a caccoon. It was merely used to ensure nothing damaged the arm until it completely healed. When I gave you your arm, it wasn't a false arm." Turning, she spoke softly in another language. Suddenly a portal like mirror appeared. Inside, Inu Taisho's grave could be seen. "I merely returned the arm. I used my power so that the muscles would knit back together. The energy I used on it, was very little. It was in fact the consequences of using that power that weakened me. I told you before that I did not know my youkai power. The power of shadows and of miko, I know intimately as my mother taught me everything before she died. Even if the arm had been fake, it still wouldn't have made a difference." turning away, Hotaru moved to a shelf and lifted a bottle down. Inside it was a black substance. It was what would help herself. Her voice became soft. "The fact I have lived this long..." Hotaru shook her head, erasing the depressing thought. She refused to think about her death. There was no point and she must only enjoy today. It had been her mother's wisdom. "No matter on that. It will be completed and Rin will not have to worry anymore. It will be my joy to help her. No one as innocent as she should suffer."

Sesshomaru watched as the arm repaired itself...her scent left it as the caccoon of her power was relieved...."whats the point of it now?...." he thought of how he left Rin to seek Sounga..."this arm....Sounga......just for something like this" he got rid of Sounga....he left Rin and she got cursed because he wasn't there...she was sentenced to death..."Rin...I let this happen to you" he said as tenseiga began to pulsate and shake slightly..."To obtain this in exchange for Rin's life" tenseiga pulsed again ...this arm..."It means nothing!!!" he took out tenseiga and sliced his arm again...but this time a meido formed next to it in a shape of a crescent moon...the arm fell into the abyss...his eyes were red as whatever was left of his arm healed..in his hands he sheathed the tenseiga...meido ....he looked to Hotaru..."I do not require something that is a result of my greed...I failed to protect someone....." he turned and walked out...he blamed himself for having Rin in this situation...he stood amongst the flowers and lost in thought

 Rin had slept for a little while, and felt much better when she woke up. She slid out of bed, her kimono top loosened a little so a creamy shoulder was bare, and the smooth skin of her collarbone area was visible. Something drew her towards the gardens, and her face lit up when she saw Sesshomaru standing amongst the flowers, lost in thought. "Milord." She moved towards him, stopping dead when she saw his arm. "Sesshomaru!" She hurried forward, her hands fluttering everywhere about his upper body. "What has happened? Where is your arm?!" Her warm chocolate brown eyes watered with unshed tears. What has happened to him while she slept? Did he leave to go into a battle? Location: Southern Lands: Hotaru's home

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he heard her voice..."Rin ...you should be resting" he said as saw her saddened expression..."why are you crying...I simply didn't need it...thats all" he said calmly...the breeze began to blow the loose petals off the flowers creating a fragrant rain of colors...Sesshomaru looked up to see the petals blowing around them...he returned his focus on Rin..."do you still see her..." he said regarding the witch from before...he knew by now the witch might have made her appearance more frightening...

Rin looked at him. "I rested. I feel much better now." Then she couldn't believe what he was telling her. "You cut off your arm, simply because you didn't need it?" Something like 'baka' was murmured under her breath. Stupid man. You don't cut off your arm because you didn't need it. Of course you needed it. It was a limb. She noticed the petals blowing around them, and how the breeze lifted his beautiful silver hair. She reached out, catching a few strands in her fingers, and marveled at how silky soft his hair was. She felt his gaze on her and looked back up at him, before shaking her head at his question. "No, I do not see her. Hotaru gave me these special flowers to wear." She reached up with her free hand, her fingers touching the midnight black petals, flecked with silver like stars. "As long as I wear them, I will not see or hear her." Her kimono top being loosened from sleep, showed her bare neck, almost as if she was asking to be marked.Location: Southern Lands: Hotaru's home

Sesshomaru knew he could now completely get rid of the haunting figure...even if he couldn't solve her curse...he could ease the burden of being watch by the figure..... "Rin it is okay to be afraid.."..he reached over to her and took the black midnight flowers and crushed them to nothing in his hand...he immediately sensed a darker presence approaching...he closed his eyes..remaining calm..."stay your ground and confront it Rin" the area began to darken as the witch approached...attempting to force Rin to take her own life out of fear...

Rin blinked up at him as he said it was okay to be afraid. "Being scared shows weakness." She murmured. She regretted crying over his arm. Sesshomaru hated the weak. She didn't want to be weak in his eyes. She gasped, her face draining of color as he crushed the three flowers in her hair. "No!" She covered her ears, clenching her eyes shut tightly, feeling sick and breathless. She didn't want to see it! It was grotesque, like something from a nightmare. Only to Rin, it was real, and haunting her. She shook visibly in fear. She stood there, hands clamped over her ears to block out the witch voice, her eyes screwed tightly shut so as not to see her. Her heart pounded so quickly and violently in her chest, her lord could probably hear it. Location: Southern Lands: Hotaru's home

Rin was on her knees in the darkness, alone. She was curled into a ball, murmuring nonsense to herself to block out the witches voice, her eyes closed so she didn't see her face. She vaguely heard her lord speak, but she didn't want to part her eyelids for a second to look. She trembled, feeling sick and dizzy from fear. He wanted to know her location. "I can't look." She choked out. "I just can't." She was trying to gather the courage to take just a quick peek, but it was hard. She was so scared. Finally, she managed to prise one eye open enough to glimpse the witch. "In front." She gasped out finally.Location: Southern Lands: Hotaru's home
