Moments of romantic bliss

Rin and Sesshomaru ; Complete

Rin's POV

Long ago…I lost my family…my mother, father and brother…killed. I was alone in the world, I had no family.

Then Sesshomaru came into my life, he came and gave me a family larger than any I could imagine. He was my saviour….so many told me he was dark…but they could not see the light around him.

In truth…I was the one lost in the shadows till he took me by the hand and pulled me into his light. The constant echoes of my past would haunt me in my sleep…until I began to sleep at his side. He took my nightmares away; he gave me strength and eternal life.

If death should come for us….it feels wonderful to know that we will enter the underworld hand in hand. We share in the same pain and pleasure…everything he feels I feel too and our bond intensifies each time we come into contact.

He made me a wife, a mother, a queen….a woman.

I awaited my husband and Lord in our chamber. I was gazing into the mirror…I can't remember my old face, the shade of brown my eyes used to be, the soft pink of my lips. Now my eyes were gold, my lips were bronze and my face ageless.

I was now fifty-four years of age, but I appeared no older than twenty-five at the most. Then again my Lord had told me that I was still young for an immortal. He after all was over five hundred years old. Age was no concern of mine.

I laid upon my bed, the one we had shared for thirty-six years. I touched the cold place on my chest, the place he drove the knife into in order to save my life, while risking his own. My Lord…hurry back, I can't sleep without you. I know how tired you are too…you haven't slept either.

My Lord had been away visiting our son Katashi in his recently conquered kingdom, I was to remain here with Kotone, she had missed too many lessons with her tutors and simply could not miss another.

I was afraid to go to sleep, without Sesshomaru…the nightmares would come back. However I tired the technique he showed me for when he was away. I channelled his calmness, I imagined him next to me…I focused so hard that I began to believe he was actually at my side, I felt him there with me. Sleep then came easier…

"Rin" My mother chocked as the blood rose to her mouth. "run…run" her eyes went out like a light….she was dead.

"Mama!" I screamed, "Mama!" I screamed and shook her cold dead body as though I could wake uer from the eternal slumber that was forced upon her.

Dead….all of them! The bandit's looked to me.

…

I awoke in the night with tears down my face; I felt alone and lost….My Lord! My lord I need you right now! I began breathing heavily, a panic attack was emerging.

I began to weep when someone suddenly hushed me "sssh" the whispered soothingly, strong arms surrounded me, I was secure.

I was shocked to see him, I hadn't expected my husband back so soon, but I was glad beyond belief to be in his arms. "My sweet Lord!" I breathed in a sigh of great relief. "I'm so glad to see you here…but why did you come back so early? You were meant to stay with Katashi another night."

He held me closer, "I felt your nightmares approaching" he spoke "Also…." He pulled the hem night kimono up my leg to reveal a large bruise upon my knee. He gazed up at me with a deadpan expression, though he had a hint of knowing glinting in his golden orbs.

I blushed deeply, "Forgive me…I just knocked my knee on my throne and you know I bruise easily my Lord."

"As do I now" he shot back calmly, he then showed me the same bruise upon his knee. We had matching scars and marks over various places over our bodies from previous battles. He leant forward and kissed my bruised knee. "I came back to ensure you were safe…"

He came all the way back just kiss my wounds and save me from my nightmares. I pressed my lips against my true saviour. We were one…in body and soul, the two of us a single unit.

To think…how would my life have been had I not had courage to face him that day in the woods, when he laid broken and injured. What if I had no returned with food he neither wanted of needed? A connection was formed instantly, that is why he brought me back and kept me with him. That connection strengthened as time went on.

He would delve into danger to pull me out of it, he'd kiss away pain and turn it into pleasure. I held out my arms that were still scarred from the times I was shackled when taken prisoner, he kissed them. I lowered my kimono to reveal my bare shoulders and a scar left there from when he was cut in battle, his lips greeted them too. They trailed down to the cold space on my heart where he stuck in the knife and bound us forever.

Eventually I was showered with warm kisses and fell gently to sleep in his arms…warm, satisfied….complete.

Sesshomarus's POV

My wife in my arms…so peaceful she seemed, the bags under eyes told me her lack of sleep and I myself was feeling her fatigue.

Was it inconvenient to feel her pain and weakness? Yes…however I knew through this that I was not alone and that I never would be again.

She made me a husband and father and by doing this she also made me a better ruler. I had a human child that I was proud to call son and my others were half-breeds that I cared for equally as much.

I was married to a human…a father of human and half breeds, my grandchildren were the same, I….I….just say it! I….loved…things I was meant to despise. Love…I choke upon the word yet I feel it with every fibre of my being, so very intensely.

In truth I never thought that I didn't have it in me to love…but I never believed one could truly love me. It is one thing to learn how to love; it is another entirely to learn how to be loved in return.

Then again I had a good teacher and she was breathing steadily in my embrace. Thirty-six years ago I was a different person completely. I cared for nothing and thus had no weaknesses, till a human girl smiled at me….forty-six years later and here we are.

I do not miss the demon I was, granted I was more resilient, I only needed to worry about myself and my enemies feared me more, everyone feared me. However, she taught me that it is better to be love than feared, she was the first human who wasn't afraid of me, she was cautious at first…but not afraid.

I often wondered…what would my life be had she obeyed me and left me alone, if she didn't return after I growled at her.

Naraku,Ichiro, Noboru, Shadou, Gorou….those were the four enemies I remember most …because they were the main ones, among many others that tried to part us. Yet here we laid together.

I had her in my arms, warm, safe….complete…
