Always And Forever ☆Book 2 Sequel to Secrets, Beauty and Bravery☆

Tears To Shed

"Expain!" Sesshomaru's voice was now animalistic. The odd scent on Bailey's tattered clothes was making Sesshomaru even more furious. Rin held her ground clenching her hands into small fists. "What is going on in here?" Inuyasha asked stepping inside. He instantly covered his nose. "What in the hell is that smell?!" He said as his eyes swirled. "Rin. What did you do?" Sesshomaru asked a little more softer. "I did what I had to. Bailey was in the way." Sesshomaru's heart dropped and his eyes glowed red. "What did you do?" Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist and pried her fingers open. The smell only grew stronger making Inuyasha even more dizzy. "Bailey will be a wolf permanently. She will not revert back to her human form." Rin said with a bit of sadness. "Why? After everything Bailey has done for you!" Sesshomaru seethed dropping her wrist. "Bailey was in the way of us. All you've done is stare at her since she's been back. You dont look at me the way you used to. You look at her like you did when she was my governess. Like when you two were to be married." Rin said angrily tears streaming down her face. Sesshomaru stood to his feet. "You will undo this Rin. You will lift the curse you have put on her." Sesshomaru said coldly. "I can not do that." Rin said sadly. "Bailey will only revert back on every full moon but only for the night or when she has completed her task that the tree of ages brought her back to do." Rin stated. "Or until I die." Rin said the second part sadly. Sesshomaru's eyes widened. "Then I will help her with the task the tree of ages summoned her for." Sesshomaru said coldly before walking out. "Sesshomaru wait!" Rin cried. "I did it because I love you and didnt want to loose you!" Sesshomaru stopped and turned to Rin. "You are my wife Rin. I will honor you until your final days. The first thing Bailey asked about after coming back was you. You have always been her first priority." Sesshomaru said and started to walk away. Rin fell to her knees crying. "I'm sorry Sesshomaru!" She yelled after him as he took to the sky. Setsuna and Towa entered the hut hearing the conservative between Sesshomaru and Rin. "Mother?" Towa asked with her hand on her shoulder. "Towa. Setsuna. I've made a horrible mistake. Oh Bailey! I'm so sorry!" Rin cried getting to her feet and running out to the forest where she blew the dust onto Bailey. Seeing the deep paw prints heading west she followed them.
Bailey ran from the stop where Rin had left her. Sorrowful whines escaped her as she made her way through the broken gates. Bailey made her way to the garden where she sat next to Anita's grave. Curling up into a ball Bailey laid there letting the cherry blossoms sprinkle down in her. "Bailey what has happened to you?" Bailey growled hearing the deep voice. "That human woman that you have protected has turned on you?" Kirinmaru asked looking to the sky. Clicking his tongue he look at Bailey sniffing as the scent of the dust hit his nose. "She blew something on you did she not?" Kirinmaru asked Bailey still on guard stared at him. "Zero." Kirinmaru seethed angrily. Bailey watched him confused as he was lost in thought. "Kirinmaru. What are you doing here?!" Sesshomaru's voice snapped Bailey from her daze. Bailey's ears flattened against her head and a whine came from her throat. "Bailey." Sesshomaru said "The curse will lift every full moon. It will be broken when you complete the task that you were brought back." Sesshomaru explained. "This was Zero's doing. This is her magic cast by your wife. She must have curse her to do it before she died." Kirinmaru explained. "Which brings me to believe that if the woman dies it will set Bailey free." Kirinmaru said. Bailey growled and snapped her teeth at him. "Bailey does not want that." Sesshomaru said coldly narrowing his eyes at Kirinmaru. "Bailey!" Rin voice sounded in the distance. Bailey's head shot in the direction of the gate. Kirinmaru smirked and flew towards the gate. Bailey lept blocking his way and let out a howl. Sesshomaru quickly dashed passed them and scooped up Rin. "Sesshomaru! I need to see Bailey!" Rin yelled trying to pull away from him. Sesshomaru held his grip tight on her. "No. You're in danger here. Kirinmaru is being held back by Bailey." Sesshomaru said lifting off the ground. "No! Put me down Sesshomaru!" Rin said flailing in his grasp. "I'm sorry!" She yelled before connecting her foot right in between his legs. Both of them instantly fell to the ground. Rin quickly got up and ran for the gate. As she ran through it Kirinmaru appeared in front of her. "With your death Bailey will be free of this curse." He said raising his sword above his head. Rin stood her ground and closed her eyes. Kirinmaru frowned and brought his sword down onto Rin. The sound of a wounded dog erupted from in front of them. Instead of Rin being hit Bailey pushed Rin out of the way and was cut by Kirinmaru's sword. "Bailey!" Rin cried out tears running down her face. Kirinmaru gritted his teeth he had saw Bailey and had attempted not injure her had misread her movements and cut her a bit on her front leg. He clicked his tongue and advanced towards Rin. Sesshomaru appeared behind Rin drawing his sword. "Bailey. Does not want this." He said before looking towards Rin who had kneeled down by Bailey. Rin looked at Bailey then at Kirinmaru. "I'm sorry Bailey." She said turing around but Bailey snapped her teeth closed on Rin's kimono. Rin tore the fabric and ran in front of Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru. "Rin!" Sesshomaru yelled as he deflected Kirinmaru's sword. The sound of tearing flesh and the scent of blood erupted into the courtyard of the abandoned palace. As blood pooled onto the ground Bailey slowly transformed back to her human form.
