Hey guys, thanks for the reviews and I remember that one of you had wished that the story was a 2-shot. Well ask and ye shall receive but this will be a 2-fer. Featuring lemony goodness, but first some beautiful wedding fluff. Not to mention a nod towards ro-iro38's story Species Milady?
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not owned by me if it were I'd be insanely rich and would share the wealth with my closest friends.
Forever with Lord Sesshomaru pt 2.
The night before
It has been a few months since Rin had left Keade's village and was marked by Sesshomaru. The palace has been all a buzz with wedding plans and building gardens for Rin to explore but be safe at the same time. Word has spread throughout the land that Sesshomaru, The most feared lord of the west and the most hateful of humans has chosen a human to be his wife. There were also some rumors that she was expecting. However the gift that Sesshomaru's mother gave had not taken affect yet and wouldn't until the night of her 18th birthday which was the day of the wedding that was tomorrow. Rin has been very happy as her wedding got closer, guests were confirmed, Miroku was the go between and her wedding Kimono was ready however she was becoming increasingly worried about her husband to be. As of late she had been hearing howling noises from the woods near by and he seems more agitated, poor Jaken has been on the receiving end of most of his fury. He almost took his aggression out on Rin one day as she came up behind him and tried to embrace him.
"What has been going on with my lord as of late?"
"Pre-wedding jitters maybe?" said Jaken
"Master Jaken please, we've seen him in many battle situations and he not once lose his temper. You have taken many beatings at his hand."
"Don't be silly milady, sometimes I say or do things that anger him."
That maybe true but sometimes you don't say or do anything and he attacks you. He nearly went after me when I tried to embrace him."
Jaken did not have an answer for her, as long as he's been traveling with his lord he had never seen Sesshomaru so aggressive before now.
Just then Kiyonei the lead maid came into the room to announce Sesshomaru's mother had arrived.
"The demon mother, maybe she will have the answers that I seek."
She met up with her out in the court yard. During their stroll she told her of what's been happing to Sesshomaru.
"I see, it appears that his inner demon has been trying to posses him."
"His inner demon?"
"It happens to all male demons when they've chosen a mate and to wed. They get this uncontrollable urge to mate and sometimes the urges are too strong and they end up taking the life of their intended during intercourse."
"What if they fight the urge?"
"They go through intense pain, for dog demons it's excruciating."
'My lord is in so much pain' "Why didn't he tell me and I would of…."
"Because he didn't want to frighten you, also his inner demon would of killed you. You are not yet strong enough also the necklace I gave you will not have protected you before."
Rin looked down at her necklace, it had a dim glow that wasn't there before.
"This will protect me?"
"Yes it will reach full power tomorrow the day of your 18th year and your wedding day."
"What will this do?"
"It will sooth the inner demon that resides in my son and will protect you during intercourse."
She walks up to Rin and embraces her. "Do not worry about my son for tomorrow will be a day of bliss and happiness."
Later that night
Rin was in her room but she was not asleep. She was thinking about the conversation that she has with Sesshomaru's mother earlier.
She turns over in her bed a worried expression graces her face.
'My dear lord is in such pain and didn't know'
Out of no where a intense howling permeated from outside. Rin leaps up out of bed and runs to the panel doors that lead outside she peeks open the doors and sees a ghostly demon dog figure bounding across the field and into the forest.
'Lord Sesshomaru hang on for a little longer, I'll take away all of your pain.' she thinks to herself as she closes the door and returns to bed, soon enough she was asleep. Hours later a exhausted and wounded Sesshomaru enters the palace with Jaken to greet him.
"Milord you are badly wonded, I prepare the healing tub immediately."
Sesshomaru sat whle the waters filled the room with steam his body violently shook, his eyes pin pointed and red, a snarl plastered on his face. Jaken returned shortly and bowed. "The bath is ready milord."
Sesshomaru gets up and walks into the room shedding his blood stained clothes and armor. He enters the tub completely submerging in the heated waters. Surfacing the scars the were on his face had vanished, his silver hair slicked back, eyes were a smoldering gold once again. He let out a deep sigh as he settled into the bath letting the healing waters work on him.
"Forgive my intrusion, but your mother had arrived earlier. I believe she has told Rin of what is happening to you."
"I thought she would. Rin is naturally kind hearted and would have questions after I nearly took her the other day when she embraced me."
[Flashback]
Sesshomaru was standing on the porch looking over the land or so it seemed. Rin came outside wearing a simple pink kimono with her hair done up in a ponytail smiling at him she sneaks up behind him and slides her arms around his waist as she enclosed her arms around him his hand grasps her hand tightly and whips her around to face him. His eyes were in a way that it look like he was transforming. His grip tightened around her arm as she gasped in pain.
"Milord"
He roughly backs her into the wall as fear filled her eyes as a feral growl came from him.
"Milord, please" she begged
"Lord Sesshomaru, you are hurting her. Stop it now." shouted Kiyonei
He had reverted back to himself to see that he had her pinned against the wall, fear etched on her face. Sesshomaru released her arm and backed away Kiyonei ran to her side and helped her to her feet. Sesshomaru walked away and into the forest not to return for two nights.
[End Flashback]
"That day I saw fear in her eyes, fear that I put there. Never again will I ever put that fear into her."
"The wedding is tomorrow milord. I certain that things will be better then."
"Where is rin?"
"She is asleep milord"
Sesshomaru gets out of the tub wrapping a robe around him he silently walks down the hallway towards is brides room. He enters and scans the semi dark room. The room was illuminated slightly because of the porch door being open a crack letting the moonlight spill in. There in the bed fast asleep is his mate covered only revealing peaks of her skin making him discover an interesting thing about her….. She sleeps in the nude.
A smile touches his face as he leans over and kisses her, hr necklace glowing brighter. "Until tomorrow my love." he stands up and leaves the room to retire for the night.
A/N: damn it took me all day to type that. Normally it takes me less time. I guess it's the heat of the day. Until later.
