Chapter 1
I never thought this day would come; the day my mother, Rin, would die. My mother was always the talk of the town, because of her beauty even the strongest of demons would lay down their weapons. They would say no man could not stand to love her, that is until the day she met my father, Lord Sesshomaru; on that day her life changed forever and the way people looked and talked about her changed indefinitely. The people of the town would say she was a demon lover, a deviant, a freak for loving someone different than what society defines as acceptable.
Their first endeavor was not your typical girl meets demon. A young teenage girl races out the door of her small hut,turning on her heel as she tries to run away from her reality; face covered in tears, legs pumping fast, sweat glistening off her brow, clothes slightly disheveled from the run, all her emotions blinds her temporarily as she runs so far into the woods that she didn't see the root and trips over it and tumbles off the trail, hits her head on a nearby rock and passes out.
Thump... Thump Thump... Thump Thump…. 'Okay Rin There's a creepy sound nearby, just pretend to be dead and maybe whatever it is will go away' Thump… Thump… *cough*, 'Oh no! What if that thing is injured! But then again I don't know what IT is. Hmmm… maybe if i peak I can see.' "Human" Rin jolted at the sound of the deep, baritone, and incredibly sexy voice, "I know you are awake, run now and I might consider not killing you." Rin slowly opens her eyes and before her is the most beautiful man she had ever seen; Her eyes scanned his face, he had markings on his face,a moon and two stripes, she admires his long silver hair moving in the slight breeze. Her eyes wondered down to his his taut muscular chest, it was bare and she saw his wound; scratch marks all over his abdomen, a green sticky liquid slowly oozing out. "Grrr… Human Leave… Ugn…" The man grabs his side and moans in pain, and immediately Rin races to his side to help him. "Human *cough* I said leave!" Mad at him for refusing her help she ignores the fact that he was a very powerful demon that could snap her off if he wanted to, and raises her sweet little voice and says, "Like hell I'm going to leave you alone like this, Now stay put while I get some ointment!" The man scoffed at the little girl, "Human I need not listen to you, do you know who I am?'" She tries to answers, " I don't need to know who are, I will help anyone who needs help regardless of who or what they are, and as for you mister you can either shut up, listen and be a good boy, or choose to just sit there and let that wound fester inside and out, but it's you're choice" Rin slowly walks away and counts in her head '1..2..3..4 and hears, "Wait, I will allow you to treat me, but after that begone" She scoffs inwardly, what an arrogant Man!
Rin walks a couple feet away and searches for a couple medicinal herbs to help the arrogant man's wound heal without an infection spreading. She searches a little longer, "Aha! There you are!" Rin took what she needed, grabbed a smooth blackish-grey rock, to grind the herbs, and walked back to the injured man.
"Schh shwa kcc, shua shwoo, cuuuu", The sounds of the human grinding the herbs were heard while Sesshomaru just watched, carefully; assessing what to do with female approaches with the salve. "Hisssss...Ugn…" He moaned as the woman applied the ointment, "Ahhh… Haaa" Sesshomaru felt better already, although the smell he could without. "Human, you have finished your task, now begone" She looked him straight in the eye, "I can't leave you until your wound fully heals. " Sesshomaru grows enraged, his pride hurt, "I am not some weakling that needs your constant care human! This Sesshomaru is the strongest in the west lands!" She snickers, " Oh really? If you're so strong then why are you injured?" He tries to counter back but comes up with a big huff and looks away. "You may be the strongest demon but everyone gets hurts sometimes just let me take care of you, okay?" Sesshomaru looks into her eyes and for the first time, really looks at her; She was small,had an angelic face, round brown eyes, pale skin, slightly flushed cheeks, long lascivious brown locks reaching her waist. His eyes wonder down, and see's her chest, her kimono had slightly opened and he could see part of her very large chest peeking out of the cloth; his eyes wander down to her hips, round and curvy perfect for childbearing, and that ass, plump but not fat, his eyes saw her milky legs shone through part of the kimono she wore. His attention was brought back to her face when he heard, "Your name is Sesshomaru? Mine's Rin." He gave her one of his 'Hnn' and looked away, she continued, "I'm glad I found you" He smelled salt and water, tears, he looked at her face and saw her trying to form her words but choking on them a little; Sesshomaru saw a strand of her hair and brushes it behind her ear. In his own way he was trying to comfort her. "I… I… don't have a home to go back to… my father and brothers just died, I have no one to go back to"
After her words were spoken it was then it hit her, the reality of her words had dawned on her, and she cried. It was like the floodgates were opened, tears blurring her vision and emotions choking her throat. Suddenly the gentle touch of a strong arm slinks over her shoulder and she cries on his naked chest. After several minutes of crying Rin comes back to her senses and realizes that one, she allowed herself to be vulnerable around a man, and two she was being comforted by him without a shirt on. Rin blushes at the close proximity and pushes away slightly, but the strong arm holds her firm, and his hand strokes her shoulder comforting her until they both fall asleep in each other's arm.
