( I don't own Sesshomaru, Rin nor Jaken and not even Dante, she belongs to my friend theglassaddiction w this is based on a ig rp, between lordsesshomaru and theglassaddiction. Enjoy ;P)
Dante, a dragon god from another world got a dare to kiss the one she secretly loved, Sesshomaru. The lord himself had just stood there, frozen and she had escaped, all embarrassed. She had also managed to steal his mokomoko earlier and is now hiding In the forest and thinking of what had happened. But is she truly safe from the one and only she hid from?
Changing hearts - the truth
Dante walked through the forest until she saw a big tree and she decides to sit down, leaning towards it. She sighed and started to talk to herself, trying to sort her mind out.
"I still have his mokomoko...he might not get it back for a while because of that incident..."
She blushes slightly as she thinks of the kiss, how surprised he'd been.
And how good it had felt.
"Unless he decides to track me down...which would be very shocking and embarrassing..."
She looks down into the grass.
"there is no need to track you down"
She jerks by the sudden sound of his voice and she looks up at the demon that had walked towards her and now stopped a few meters away, looking down at her.
"you're quite obvious, girl."
Her first moments of shock fainted and she stared furiously at him.
" I have a name!" She growled and crossed her arms.
"And im not obvious, just easy to spot"
He's lips twists into smile and he
looks amused at her.
"This Sesshomaru knows that"
She stares at him, feeling her anger grow.
"THEN USE IT! Or THIS Dante WILL KICK YOUR ASS! "
He raises his left eyebrow slightly as his smile grew wider.
" I would like to see you try...Dante"
As she heard the him emphasize her name in that teasingly tone, she had to fight to control her hurt feelings and plastered a plain expression on her face.
" I could"
She glares defiant at him.
"But it would be animal abuse to hurt little puppies like you" She stands up and stares directly at him.
"And you haven't exacted your revenge on me yet"
Still looking quite amused, the taiyoukais amber gaze remains on her.
"Puppies like me..."
Sesshomaru got an slightly evil look in his eyes as he grinned at her.
"My revenge will come when you least expecting it..."
Dantes eyes reflected his, her teal eyes showing a evil spark in them as well.
" Demons aren't the only ones with great power you know. Mine is just a little but yet more sophisticated and tasteful"
She pulls her arms closer around her as she looks suspiciously at him, while blushing slightly.
"And that you just said sounded like a rape threat, so i'll just keep avoiding you"
Instead of heeding her words and keeping away, he walks closer and stops i front of her, his face just a few inches away from hers and teal clashed with amber.
"Really?"
She hastily turns her head, avoiding his penetrating gaze.
"It's true"
They stands like that for a moment, just a few inches away from each other.
" I...i..."
She started but blushes lightly and stops with that sentence.
"Just forget it..."
She turns abruptly and marches off and leaving Sesshomaru there, looking after her.
He stands there staring at the place where she had disappeared, feeling uneasy for some reason.
He just stood there, lost in his own thoughts for quite a while until he saw the sun had started to set. He took a last glance towards the place where they had been standing just a little bit away from each other, the thought somehow giving him a warm feeling in his chest.
He shakes his head, trying to shake away this unusual feeling and then turns away and starts walking back towards the clearing where he had made camp earlier this morning and left Rin and Jaken to wait for him.
As he later rejoined his travel companions and got attacked by the blabbering and chattering from the imp, he didn't even hear him.
He'd just sat down by a big tree and was lost in his own thoughts, his mind still set on...her. Her scent still lingering in his mind, consuming his entire being. He stared into the ground, wondering why she effected him so.
He even felt bad for making fun of her.
That was something he'd always done to other people, but he'd never even cared a bit about the after effects.
It didn't concern him.
Then why now?
He leaned backwards at the tree and looked up into the now starry sky.
"Sesshomaru-sama?"
He woke up out of his thoughs and looked at the little girl before him, that was looking at him with big brown, worried eyes.
" Are you alright Sesshomaru-sama?"
She tilts her head slightly and crawls a little closer to her guardian, that looks calmly at her, amazed as always how she always seems to notice any slight change in his behavior.
"Hai. Its nothing..."
He leans his head against his hand, still looking at the girl in front of him.
"Im just thinking..."
She looks skeptical at him at first, knowing he doesn't tell her the whole truth and that he wouldn't tell her by his own accord. She had followed him for a really long time now and knew her lord very well.
Even though he seemed non-caring and cold, she knew his weak spots and as she studies him for a moment, the pieces falls together in her head and then smiles brightly at him.
" Did you go to see Dante-san today?"
He froze in the position he was in and his eyes widened a little.
How did she...how..?
He realized that he lost his control by the sudden question and he quickly regained his plain face and tried to relax like her name didn't effect him as it did. He tried to act like normal.
"Yes, I did."
She smiles triumphal and looks curious at him.
"How was Dante-san? Was she well?"
He looks away slightly and watches the fire that where in the middle of their camp, lighting up the circular area they were in.
"Yes, she was just fine..."
"Thats great!"
She smiled innocently at him and starts playing with some pieces of grass that she had picked, twirling them around her fingers.
"Sesshomaru-sama...you like Dante-san, dont you?"
His eyes widens slightly again, but before he could do or say anything, Jaken interrupted.
"Foolish girl! Like Sesshomaru-sama would have feelings for that demon girl, its absurd its...
Sesshomaru continues staring into the fire, not showing any feelings on the outside although his whole being is in battle with himself. He also feels his patience is at the verge of breaking, and he had to restrain himself for not hitting the imp as he often did when he got to annoying.
" Jaken."
The imp stops talking immediately and turns to his master.
"Stop talking"
The frog like creature jerked as she straightened his back and hardened his grip on his staff of two heads.
"And she's not a demon..."
Sesshomaru keeps staring into the fire and his normally smooth voice had an slight edge to it as he spoke to the imp.
"She's a god."
Jaken nods quickly and backs off to a safe distance from his lord, knowing if he don't, he might get a headache soon.
"H-hai...yes-mi-lord."
Then the clearing went quiet for a while and the demon lord had almost fallen into his thoughts again when he felt something warm curl up beside him.
He looked down at Rin that -mkt riktigt- lay there, leaning against his leg and looking up at him with her curious and yet wise gaze, waiting for his answer.
"Hnn. Dont say such foolish things..."
He looks away and he feels her small hand on his and he looks back at her again and she captures his gaze and looks deeply into his eyes, grasping his very soul.
"Sesshomaru-sama...don't lie to yourself. I have seen you around her. You treat and look at her differently, even though you might not notice it yourself. You do like her...a lot"
She smiled warmly at him, and he looked back at her, his golden eyes showing a slight change as he started to analyze the possibilities of her words, realizing the unusual truth.
I...like her...a lot?
He looked down at the ground again as he realized the reason that he had felt so bad after making fun of her...he'd hurt her and his subconscious had reacted to it, even if he himself hadn't seen or rather tried to see his true feelings about her.
He'd just known that he didn't want her to die and that she would acknowledge him. He'd always had that strange feeling to want to be close to her...and now when she had miraculously come back from the dead, that feeling was even stronger.
That day a few weeks ago when he and his companions had went out together again for the first time in years, when he'd suddenly smelled her scent, only to find her standing in a clearing a few meters away.
He now got why his heartbeat had raced, when seeing her again...he'd had blamed that on the shock at the moment...
But there was one thing he hadn't been able to blame on the shock.
The need he'd felt to embrace her, to hold her close, to make sure ot was really her that stood there before him.
But of course, he hadn't. His pride stopped this spontaneous thought and caged it in deep inside him.
He didn't even think of that anymore afterwards, until a few days ago...when she had taken him by surprise.
He could still remember her flushed cheeks that lit up her skin, giving her skin a new warmer tone...
And her lips.
The feeling of her lips against his, her taste...he wanted more of that.
But that wasn't all.
He wanted MUCH more.
And not just from her, he wanted to give it back a tenfold.
Now that he sat here with Rin leaning against his leg, he realized how stupid he'd been.
He wanted to please her, to make her his. And what had he done? He'd insulted her, made fun of her.
He must had shown his frustration and sorrow in some sort of way, because he felt a hand on his cheek and he turned his head towards Rin, that now had that worried but yet understanding expression in her face.
"Sesshomaru-sama, what happened today?"
As he looked at her, her realized it wasn't any point in lying so he put his hand over hers and told her almost everything, but skipped some minor details. After he'd explained everything, he hang with his head (to Jaken's big suprise) and leaned at the young girl beside him.
"She hates me..."
She smiled comforting at him in that way only she could.
"No, she dont. What ever you did, Dante-san wont hate you. She cant."
She tilts her head and looks seriously at him.
" Because she loves you. You just need to show her that you love her too"
He looks doubting at her, but he lights up a little by her words.
"You think so?"
He sighs as she nods at him.
"Then what should i do? I just hurt her feelings badly...how can i explain this? How can i make her understand... "
She rolled over so that she were laying over my leg, leaning her head in her palms.
"I'll tell you what to do"
She held up one finger.
" First ask her for forgiveness"
She put up another one.
"And Second, tell her your true feelings"
He took in her advices, analyzing them. They sounded far too easy, but since he was the one that were supposed to do them, they were something unimaginable.
He frowned slightly.
First- This Sesshomaru didnt apologize to anyone.
Second- He absolutely NEVER shared his feelings to anyone else.
But in this situation, what choice did he have?
He sighed as he realized that she was right. For him to get what he truly wanted, he had to change.
He had no choice, he had to try.
He unconsciously put his hand over his heart and gripped his shirt.
He had to.
