A/N: Hey, I couldn't stop writing this sequel. I find it more interesting than "Humanity" But, probably just because I didn't get very many reviews on that one. But, I hope you enjoy this one. The title was brought to me by one of my favorite songs, "Fight for you" By Morgan Page. It kind of does set the theme for this story.
So sit back and enjoy!
Chapter 1:
It had been a month since Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken had settled into the forest.
In that month, Rin had already memorized all of the ways around this forest, endless adventures.
She went to stretch her legs while Sesshomaru did another perimeter check.
He did this quite often. So many times it nearly concerned Rin. But he had told her he could never be too cautious of her safety. They ran into demons everyday, but now that she was mated to him, he was more protective than ever.
Rin stopped as a cool breeze blew through her.
A storm was coming, which meant that she had to find food while they waited it out in their new den.
She then began to hear rustling of leaves, too constant to just be the wind.
Rin turned, and right before her, was a large dog demon.
It was standing within the shades of the trees, watching her.
"Sesshomaru?" Rin whispered, eyes squinting into the darkness.
The dog reacted by it, taking a few steps forward.
Something from within told Rin that this wasn't Sesshomaru.
Just as the giant dog stood merely inches from her, she heard a snap of a twig from behind her, followed by a demonic growl.
This, was Sesshomaru.
Rin didn't even have a chance to look, because he was soon in front of her, taking down the slightly smaller dog demon.
The smaller dog demon was thrown on his back as Sesshomaru's large and bristling body towered over it.
Then, the smaller one pushed itself up, defensively snapping at Sesshomaru.
This, enraged Sesshomaru.
Males who dare come near his mate, either get the chance to run and never come back. Or die.
He drove the smaller dog back down to the ground by the throat, soon having him in a death grip.
The dog demon whimpered in pain, struggling to roll on his back in this grasp.
Rin recognized this, the smaller dog demon was submitting to him, and practically begging for his life.
Sesshomaru showed no signs of noticing for a long while, keeping his fangs sunk deep into the other dog demon's throat.
Just as Rin saw the dog demon go still, Sesshomaru began to loosen his grip.
When the smaller dog demon was released, he jumped up, backing away from Sesshomaru before glowing lightly and returning to a human form.
He did look young, he had short, spiky silver hair with a trace of black within it.
Sesshomaru moved in front of Rin before changing back as well.
"This is claimed territory." Sesshomaru snapped lowly.
"I apologize for the intrusion. I just... Saw this human roaming the forest and..." The younger dog demon was cut off by a glare from Sesshomaru.
"I meant her no harm." The dog demon assured.
"Then why are you here?" Sesshomaru questioned.
"I was just passing through. I'm a rogue, same as you." The man said.
"I am not a rogue." Sesshomaru said, taking a few steps closer, "Who are you?"
"Kaito." The dog demon informed. "If you're not a rogue, then...?"
"This is my territory." Sesshomaru said again.
"So you're just... Starting a clan alone? Do you know how much competition other clans could give you? I mean... Do you have anyone else with you?"
"I have Rin and Jaken. Rin is all I need." Sesshomaru said.
"Well. Maybe I could... Possibly join this... So called clan of yours. At least you'll have someone to fight along side you."
"Don't underestimate me." Sesshomaru warned.
"Sesshomaru." Rin finally whispered behind him, "Maybe he has a point. At least you'll have more dog guards. He's practically asking for it."
Sesshomaru considered her thoughts, glancing back at Kaito. "You can stay. For intended purposes only. If you so much look at her wrong, I'm not sparing your life a second time."
Kaito seemed to relax and release a deep breath, nodding.
Sesshomaru hesitantly turned from him, brushing by Rin.
Rin glanced at him, then back at Kaito.
Had she just ruined everything?
Kaito stared at her for a few seconds before averting his eyes elsewhere, "I guess I'd better make myself useful. Guess I should complete the perimeter check."
Rin watched as he ran off in his dog form.
After he disappeared, she turned, following Sesshomaru's previous footsteps.
She found him back in the den, seeming to be deep in thought.
Taking a deep breath, she walked in.
She sat next to him, completely unsure of his inward silence.
"I'm sorry." Rin finally sighed.
His golden eyes focused on her, "Why?"
"I... I practically asked from that dog demon to stay. After all that happened." Rin admitted.
Sesshomaru pulled her close, his nose burying in the crook of her neck, where his mark lay.
'Perhaps we should mark her again' Sesshomaru's inner beast suggested.
Sesshomaru inwardly rejected that thought, simply pressing his cool lips against that mark, making her gasp against it.
It was when his hands began to enter her kimono that Rin slowly replied, "S-Sesshomaru. What... Are you doing"
He moved his lips to the lobe of her ear, kissing it gently a few times, "Showing Kaito that you are mine."
Rin's body filled with heat, a small blush forming on her cheeks.
Sesshomaru turned her to face him, his golden eyes nearly two-slit orbs, making Rin shiver against him.
He kissed her, gently at first, before deepening it into something more.
Rin moaned against him, her lust for him clouding her mind.
She was first to move, her hands gently pushing against his clothes, opening his kimono, sliding it down his shoulders.
She pulled away slightly, looking down at him, smiling lightly.
Then, she went in, brushing her lips against his cheek, and down to the under line of his chin, then down to his neck.
Sesshomaru's breathing rose, semi-surprised of Rin's sudden move.
He loved it.
"I love you." Rin whispered as she sent kisses down lower, "I am yours."
Sesshomaru unleashed a low growl, which Rin felt as her lips had reached his chest, "Yours." She whispered.
That was it.
Sesshomaru pulled her up, claiming her lips forcefully, teeth taking a big part of it.
Rin's clothes were ripped off of her while at the same time Sesshomaru rid himself of his.
This was no longer a matter of strengthening his scent on her, this was a matter of satisfying Rin's growing pleasure.
When they were both bare, Sesshomaru lifted Rin and had her nestled in his lap, their bodies easily combined into one.
When Rin immediately began to move against him, his hands left her waist, sliding up her back, pressing her as close as humanly possible.
His beast had calmed down a few weeks ago after mating Rin, but he still took pleasure in any time they did afterwards.
His tongue snuck in her mouth, finding hers.
Rin released a muffled moan as she welcomed his tongue, allowing it to roam and dance with hers.
His ravishing tongue left hers too soon, making her long for the loss. His lips pressed against her jaw, down to her chin, down to the front of her neck, making a kissing pattern all over that crevice.
Sesshomaru felt they were close to their end... Again.
Which his beast reminded him of the newcomer, and how he, so fearlessly, approached his mate.
His tongue slithered out, making small stripes up and down her neck, wanting to just, ravish the delicate, delicious skin.
Rin willingly bared her neck to him, something she had learned to do when Sesshomaru had done this, many times before.
"Seshomaru!" Rin gasped out as she felt her lower abdomen twisting, ready for release.
A low groan was her reply as his hands returned to her waist, pressing her against him tightly and securely,
Sesshomaru's bursting release sent him into an uncontrollable demonic mode, his teeth unknowingly sinking deep into Rin's left shoulder.
Rin felt the sharp stab of pain, and she grabbed onto Sesshomaru, holding him tight, a small whimper releasing.
At that moment, Sesshomaru jerked away from her shoulder, his control returning in a sudden instant.
For that one second, he had bitten her, really bit her.
A small line of blood travelled down to her chest.
Rin's arms around him were tight, and she was trembling.
Sesshomaru stared at the trail of blodd, as if in hypnosis.
'I Told you we were Not to mark her!' Sesshomaru inwardly snapped at his beast.
Finally pulling out of his reverie, he leaned down, down to her chest, his tongue catching the trail of blood, and tracing it all the way back to her shoulder, tasting warmer and sweeter blood when his tongue reached two deep puncture wounds in her shoulder.
It made his mouth water, which sent the supplies needed to heal the wound.
When he no longer tasted her blood, he kissed the new mark gently.
"I'm sorry Rin." He said softly, kissing the mark again in emphasis, "So sorry."
He trailed his lips up her shoulder, up to her neck, spending extra time there, kissing her, apologizing.
He felt and tasted a salty tear drop run down her neck, and then absorbed by him.
His chest twisted painfully.
He sent his lips up to her cheeks, kissing and licked the salty waters on her face, "I never want to hurt you."
Yet he did.
Once Sesshomaru had healed the bite, the pain lessened immensely. Rin slowly moved her hands into his hair, pulling him back to look at her.
"I know." She sighed, trying to stop her tears. The pain was now long forgotten.
Not for Sesshomaru though.
He claimed her lips, softly, gently, as if promising this was all he would do to her.
His beast felt ashamed of the instinctual actions as well, pouring its extra love into this kiss.
Sesshomaru kissed her, until he could no longer smell the saltiness of her tears.
When he pulled away, he simply rested his forehead against hers, wanting to do more to apologize to her.
Time flew by, Rin had moved, leaning her head against his chest, nuzzling it comfortably.
Sesshomaru enveloped her securely into his arms, his promise to watch over her as she slept.
The newcomer was roaming outside the den sometime in the night.
Sesshomaru watched, still uptight about him being here.
The dog demon moved next to the den, a little distant away, before laying down, and soon falling asleep.
He had transformed, so when the rain came pouring down, the thick fur protected him.
Maybe... If and when Sesshomaru trusted this new dog demon, then he would accept him.
It was because of Rin that Sesshomaru had spared his life.
Rin was never one to stand there and watch Sesshomaru mercilesssly kill other beings. Humans and demons alike.
For a long time, like when he first met her, he didn't care what she thought. Then, he found himself killing only those who meant harm to Rin. Now, Sesshomaru was no different. He would kill if he had to, just as he would have to Kaito. But Rin had come in. He repected her terms in use of the dog demon.
A loud rumble of thunder brought Sesshomaru back to alert.
Rin stirred against him, but was still asleep.
Sesshomaru realized that they were still in their previous position.
He reached for his boa, nestling it securely around Rin, protecting her from the rare rain drops dripping from the ceiling.
Lightning and thunder combined from outside.
The young dog demon remained asleep through it all.
As Sesshomaru felt more and more at ease, he was finally able to find sleep alongside his mate.
