Here is your last warning; this is not a fluffy story. It's dark and very free thinking. Not to say it can't be loving, though.

ANYWAY;

I present to you the preface of Moondust:

Preface

It was cold, that much was obvious. Her lips were a pale lavender color and her body weak. She could no longer even stand to scream for help.

A burly youkai entered the small dingy room, his eyes scanning for his beloved prey.

"Rin-san" He whispered sadistically. The dirty, pale, mass of flesh attempted to pull herself into tight ball; however she only succeeded in making her chains cling harshly against the floor. The male immediately was aware of her small presence. He grinned and stalked towards the thin woman.

"Oh Rin-san; do you wish for this all to stop? How desperately can you call for your Master today, hmm?" He twisted his mouth into a fanged snarl as he ripped her arms from her body; her last attempted to fend him off.

She gripped at her chains desperately; her mouth not opening even when he grabbed her tender breasts roughly. Hot breath blew next to her ear as he dug his claws into her hips. He flipped her in a careless motion and pulled her buttocks up brutally. In a recently favorited way he violated her. Rin had not even flinched as he had repeatedly withdrawn and slammed into her savagely.

Oh please Gods, please just kill me; destroy every fabric of my existence if you must. She begged; and prayed daily for an end. Her existence needed to be eradicated, she could no longer stand his hands, anything but his hands.

She could not even tell how many days it had been since she was taken from her home; the only passage of time was the continuous click of water beside her head. She paused, her capture torn his eyes from her back and pulled her hair taut; his thrusts became rushed, hurried to a desperate speed. She no longer begged him to stop.

As the grotesque youkai emptied himself inside her she began to shake.

Violently.

Rumbling came from all directions around her; her eyes widened in realization that this was no ordinary quake. Shouts could be heard from all over the compound she was trapped inside.

"Taichi-sama!" a woman clambered into the doorway and bowed quickly,

"Yes Setsuka?" Her offender responded.

"He has arrived, and he is ready for battle. There are easily one hundred youkai outside the compound." The servant looked at him desperately. Slowly the youkai stood and pulled up his hakama. His face was twisted in a ready glare.

"All of this for a simple human?" The youkai lifted his eyebrows; his gaze fell on her once again and he pulled her up easily from the floor.

"If he wants her back now.." He cackled,

"He can most definitely have her." He finished.

All of his thoughts stopped when a familiar body was seen through the destruction his military caused. His actions halted and momentarily his mind was blank. Then all that took over him was rage; pure, unadulterated rage. His mouth turned up in a snarl, his eyes bled a vibrant red. He had to breathe in before he tore apart the entire area.

As quickly as his face morphed into fury; it became a mask of calm. His only priority was to get his ward out of the bear territory and back home. His hands shook as he approached the youkai.

"Ahhh Lord Sesshoumaru; welcome to my humble shiro." The bear tilted his head in recognition. But he never got a chance to raise it.

Clear in the snow; was a path of crimson; the trail leading to a most vengeful prize. The head was slowly seeping warm liquid into the soft white.

Rin was uprooted into Sesshomaru's arms and hoisted into the air with him. Quickly he wrapped all he could of himself around her and moved south, leaving his troops to cause carnage.

She was emaciated; her cheekbones painfully stretched her skin and her ribs poked through her torso grievously. Even her eyes seemed hollow compared to their usual brightness.

He grieved for her; because even though she was safe, she would never laugh the same.

I really hope ya'll like it; it's really, really short but it's super late and I gotta work in the morning. FYI; Rin is just on the cusp of womanhood. She only recently started her menses and is 16. I'll give you a rundown of why all this happened on the next chapter. I'll always post Tuesday but I might post other times as well!
