"Give it up Koga, I've been here for a week and he's not coming" I said sitting in the wolf den.
"He'll be here, I have faith. I didn't want to do this and it's nothing against you Rin." He was behind me in a flash with his arm wrapped around my waist. Before I knew what was going on he ran a long claw down my side splitting my dress and drawing a disgusting river of blood. "Sesshomaru-sama!" I yelped as an automatic reaction.
Damn it! Now I was sure he would be here. We had made a deal a long time ago that if I called for him he would be there after I had been stolen by a group of monks who were determined to make Sesshomaru let go of his evil hold on me.
"Rin, from now on if you want to be saved then you can call for me. I'll be there to get you as soon as I can when you call but I won't come for you unless I know you want me to."
His back was turned to me but there was something there...in his voice that I picked up on only once in a great while. Anxiety was barley there and unnoticeable to anyone who didn't spend time with him.
We were both injured and I was in pain but I didn't want to let him know because he was always in such control. He had to be hurting but you would have never known it. I cringed as I tripped over a rock that I hadn't been paying attention to and stumbled into him clumsily.
"Lord Sesshomaru." I whispered. He whipped around with wide golden eyes. "Rin-chan" he began walking to me and for the first time since he'd brought me back he picked me up and carried me. I snuggled into his fur and hair inhaling the spicy scent of demon and Sesshomaru. "All you have to do is call" he said so softly he must have not believed I heard it.
I held my side to stop the bleeding, hoping it would clot soon because it was freely seeping through my fingers. "He'll be here soon enough" Koga said standing over my now kneeling form.
Sure enough he was there about twenty minutes later standing at the entrance of the cave looking royally pissed off. "I will not hesitate to kill everyone here if you don't release her right now" he growled, eyes zeroing in on the blood still running through my hands.
"Blood won't clot because of the venom on my nail. You can either sit and talk nice with me or let her die" he smirked.
"What do you want you mangy mutt?" Lord Sesshomarus voice was back to even and unphased. "I want to know about the jewel" I laughed because why would he know? He had no reason to care about the jewel.
"What?" he asked to my surprise. "Where is the piece you have?" my mouth opened in confusion without anything to say. "Let's talk outside, but first you stop her bleeding, she's small." Koga smirked and nodded.
He yanked me up by my hand and dropped to his knees with soft pink tongue darting out over my wound. I inhaled sharply out of surprise and because it hurt. Sesshomaru audibly growled in the background while Koga glanced over to him looking satisfied with himself.
He handed me over to some guy with a Mohawk that kind of freaked me out. "Sorry miss, we won't hurt you" he said holding me gently. Wolves scared me to death and here I was sitting in the damn den of the people who had killed my family. His wolves wouldn't get anywhere near the cave though that I could see, for that I was thankful.
I'd been afraid the first four days I was here but then grew annoyed quickly when I realized they had no intention of harming or raping me. They didn't treat me horribly but I wasn't allowed to bathe and they had no manners at all. I suppose I've become spoiled, all I wanted to do was return home.
Sesshomaru-sama built me a lovely house that we all resided in when we didn't have to be traveling. I still tried to follow him but I found myself being told to stay like a dog or left all alone in the dark woods. Which is what led to me being taken by this pack of idiotic mutts.
The house was by a small village but I had yet to make friends even with the encouragement of Sesshomaru. They thought me possessed or crazy to carry a demon so close to my heart and home. Over all it was a useless gesture of kindness for Lord Sesshomaru but at least it was nice. The house was very nice with servants and care takers.
"I hope this is over quickly" the guy sitting next to mohawk man mumbled. "He always has to have things his way, but usually he wouldn't do something this cheap" came the reply. "Please, that guy has some serious problems." I stuck my nose in the air. "Ever since Kagome left he's been...different"
"It's not like she really belonged here in our time. Inuyasha was better off with Kikyo anyway." Kikyo and Kagome were always both nice to me but I always felt a little too much like Kagome to really care for her. "Kidnapping a young girl is wrong and then making me stay in such a filthy cave. You all are like...animals" we all shared a look of amusement.
"I never thought Sesshomaru would have anything to do with the jewel" one said. "Do you know what they're talking about?" I asked turning to face them. "Sesshomaru wants the jewel for some reason, but he'd never had any interest in it before. Suddenly he's got almost half the thing" but why?
Koga came to release me and I darted without a second thought "Lord Sesshomaru!" I screeched as he put me behind him in a protecting manner. "Go and find Jaken, I want you both home by tomorrow. We all need to have a talk" he instructed. I squeezed his waist for a second inhaling the icy sent that I had missed so much and ran off.
AhUn was waiting close by running to me licking and nudging like any pet would after missing its owner. "Let's go to Jaken then, I don't want to be in any more trouble" no doubt for disobeying him and causing trouble he would reprimand me.
When we got to him he was making a fire and pretended I wasn't even there. "Nice to know you were worried, I was just kidnapped by a pack of wolves. It's okay though, I escaped bleeding to death today. Your concern is flattering" I said brushing past him to the hot spring where I sat for what felt like ever trying to rid myself of the smell of that cave.
I was washing myself for the fourth time when I heard a twig snap and jumped out of the water. Grabbing my knife I turned to face whoever was there because if they thought I was going anywhere but home they had another thing..."Lord Sesshomaru?" he stood looking at my face.
"I want you to show me that cut, it looked pretty bad" he said matter-of-factley walking towards me. I covered myself the best I could but it was useless, there was no hiding my blatant nakedness. He knelt on one knee and put one hand on my hip while looking carefully at the deep gash that was about six inches long and one wide.
"It's going to leave a mark if I don't do something" he said barley above a whisper looking torn. Between what I didn't know but it was making me nervous. "Can you do something?" I whispered back. "Yes...if you want me to I can lick it and it won't hurt as bad or scar" he said skeptically. "What's wrong Lord Sesshomaru?" I asked. "Nothing."
He dipped his head and flicked his tongue out lightly licking the jagged edges and soothing the burning. A tremor rolled through my body and I felt his do the same, sending a hot pressure between my legs. I wanted to touch there and relieve it but it seemed wrong and I definitely wouldn't while he was kneeling in front of me.
His hot tongue licked at the bit of blood that dripped and he growled stiffening. "Sesshomaru-sama?" I asked looking down feeling my face hot with embarrassment. He nuzzled my side and hip much like a dog might, licking more than just my cut now. A groan came from my mouth that I couldn't stop from releasing as I reached down to touch hair glowing in the moonlight.
The white silk slipped through my fingers and added a more erotic feeling to the whole thing as I could feel him debating if he should lean into my hand or my side. Suddenly a rush something began to make my thighs damp with more than just water. Again he stiffened and was still.
Suddenly he was gone and moving away from me at a faster than normal pace. I realized I was standing there without even trying to cover myself and couldn't even bring myself to feel shame as I called to him. "Sesshomaru-sama" he turned around with eyes glowing dimly looking pained.
Suddenly he was in front of me so close I could feel him breathing, I gasped at the sudden warmth coming off him. With a wicked growl he ripped away from me. "You are to return home tonight, get AhUn and fly until you reach the castle now." he was gone now leaving me to gather my clothes.
As I got around to AhUn I began looking back when Sesshomaru-sama had started touching me. It had been odd because he'd never allowed me to show affection but one day I was laying in the grass waiting for him.
The wind blew smells from the village around me reminding me of cooked food. It had been ages since I'd sat down and cooked a meal. I was waiting for Lord Sesshomaru as I'd been doing for the past 7 years but he'd left me here because I was hurt. Kaede had wrapped my arm with something that Kagome had brought back from her time.
"Rin!" Kagomes voice carried but I was buried in the tall grass and determined to be the first to see Lord Sesshomaru when he came walking over the hill. It was getting late so she was looking to take me back because he'd left me in the care of her and Kaede thinking me too fragile to follow him. "Come on in now! It's getting late!" I began crawling up the hill trying to get away from the approaching voice.
When I made it to the top I misplaced a hand and took a pretty big tumble down the large hill right into his leg. "Rin!" he picked me up running hands over me to check me for injuries. I arched into his chest when he ran a hand lightly down my back and for the first time ever I experienced the pressure between my legs as he kept touching me lightly.
A look of confusion passed over him as he sniffed at the air like something was wrong. He ran me to the village and said he'd be back in the morning. Kagome stood looking a little mortified as he barked "Pay better attention to her" and disappeared.
I made my way home while thinking about it and by the time we could see the castle fingers of pink had begun to streak the sky. I landed, put AhUn in the stables and walked into the house holding my dress closed on the side. I did something that I wouldn't normally do and headed straight for Lord Sesshomarus room.
"He probably won't be home for a few days anyway and even if he is..." I whispered to myself as I pulled out my favorite of his silk robes and stripped. All wrapped up in pink, purple, and white silk that reached well onto the floor and swaddled me made me feel as if I were a child again. I dove into the soft sweetness of Lord Sesshomarus bed and snuggled deep down in the heavy blankets hiding from the world.
I woke in the morning to rain tapping on the window lightly and I was looking at the room while lying on my side. It had glass doors that led to a sitting area outside which I had suggested since the room was so dark. Plus black carpet lined the floor making the white on the walls seem even whiter while the rest of the room was done in royal blues. I'd pretty much designed the whole house by myself with little input from the very uninterested men.
My kimono was ruined and that was a good enough excuse to stay in the robe as long as I held it up so I could walk so I went to see the seamstress. She assured she could have it fixed right up; it was the same pattern I'd worn and matched my old one except it was shorter so I could move easier. The day drug on painfully slow as it did most of the time when I was here alone. Lord Sesshomaru often threw parties when he was home but I had no friends to throw parties for so it was boring.
A knock on the door in the late afternoon did surprise me so I excused myself from helping with the kitchen to go check it out for myself. I opened the large wooden door to Inuyasha holding two children to his chest and looking more afraid than I'd ever seen. "Rin can you help me please? Kikyo is sick and I need..." me to help? "Come in" I said stepping aside.
Kikyo was apparently very sick after having their newest child and Inuyasha couldn't go anywhere near her with the kids nor find some place that would take him and the children. "Just for a few days I can take good care of them" I swore smiling at the little girl who was clinging to his leg. "Miyu and Saya are all yours then" he was gone before I could get in another word.
Miyu was the little baby with black hair and a more human look where Saya had gotten the white hair but human eyes. "Hello, would you like to come and play with me for a little while?" I smiled holding out my hand. She cringed away and it made me very sad. "Don't worry; I think you're very cute. I live with a demon and neither of them accepts me either. Humans think I'm crazy and demons think I'm a pet" she looked a little out of place feeling but in the end I made her feel at home.
I went to town to buy something for the baby to sleep in, holding her in one arm and her sisters hand with my other. All the villagers looked at me like I was disgusting, most likely thought me and Lord Sesshomaru had children that we kept locked away and these were it. "How do you like this?" I asked holding up a new dress and some ribbons to her. We spent the rest of the day shopping for some food that Saya liked and other oddities we deemed cute or wanted, finally making it home just as it was dark.
I let her and the baby share my room and took to Lord Sesshomarus again that night. For the next three days the little girls provided a constant distraction from my boredom and unrest. Saya looked much like what I would think Lord Sesshomarus child would with long white hair down to her waist, a flawless complexion, and perfect features. She told sad stories of being an outcast that drew me back to my own childhood.
While eating dinner on the third day Lord Sesshomaru returned and Saya smelt him before he was even in the door. "Smells like daddy but...stronger?" I jumped up from my chair and left her to meet him at the door having no idea how he would react to the children. I was too late though, he smelled them the moment he came within five miles of the home.
"What is going on here? You've let Inuyasha and his wench reside here? Out with them now." He didn't know? Saya came up slowly behind me and Sesshomaru looked perplexed. "His children..." I mumbled lowly. "They may stay" and he was gone before I could thank him.
I left Saya in the garden while I tended to Miyu who really almost could have passed for a human...almost. When I came back out Sesshomaru was tossing a ball with Saya and... smiling? He looked almost happy? His features were soft and his body relaxed as he played with the young child, it gave me a sense of peace to see him so content with a child. I'd never known him to like kids, thought I was just some sort of fluke as everyone else did but in truth it seemed he really did like them.
I made lots of noise while pretending I didn't see anything calling to Saya that it was time to go to sleep. She nodded, looked at Lord Sesshomaru and hugged him quickly and if I hadn't been looking right at it I don't know I would have believed it. He patted her head and she was at my side walking calmly with me as if nothing had happened.
Oh, a soft side to the rigid Lord Sesshomaru? I'm sorry if this was off to a rocky start bur it's my first one in a while so I hope it wasn't so bad. Thanks for reading and even more for reviewss (please) :P
