A Demon's Love

Chapter 1: Demons and Flowers

Rin was running as fast as her legs could take her. She didn't know what it was that was chasing her. All she remembered was Jaken telling her to run so he could fight off the demon.

It had been a normal day when two demons came upon them. The larger one went directly after Sesshomaru, while the other one came after her and Jaken.

Rin could feel herself running out of breath. Her legs were getting very tired, and she was afraid of getting too far away from Sesshomaru. She started to slow down until she finally stopped unable to continue on anymore.

Suddenly the demon jumped down in front of her. It was a large lizard-like demon with green scaly skin and large fangs. Rin slowly backed away. "Lord Sesshomaru!" she called out.

The demon lunged forward. Rin closed her eyes waiting for his attack, but it never came. When she opened her eyes, she saw Sesshomaru standing over her. The lizard demon was dead beside her. Sesshomaru turned and started to walk away.

"Come, Rin."

"Yes, my lord!" Rin got to her feet and happily followed him. As she followed Sesshomaru, her mind began to wander. She remembered the first day she saw her wonderful lord.

FLASHBACK:

Rin was walking through the woods. She always felt more comfortable in the woods than in the village, mostly because everyone in the village seemed to ignore her. She never understood why she had survived when her whole family had died. She felt alone and abandoned.

The sun began to set around her. It would be dark soon. She started to head back towards the village when she came across a clearing. There was a man lying on the ground. However, before she could do anything, he sat up and growled at her.

His eyes were red, and his fangs were showing. She gasped and clung to a tree. He is a demon. For some reason though, she knew he didn't want to hurt her. He was just badly injured and was protecting himself. After all, she had snuck up on him.

He wore a very elegant kimono. Could he possibly be a noble of some kind? She knew she had to try to help him. Before she knew what was happening, her determination had forced her to her village…

END FLASHBACK

Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin were walking when they came across a field of wildflowers. Rin turned towards Sesshomaru with anticipation.

"We'll rest here for a while."

Rin ran out into the field. It was amazing how content she felt. She danced around the assortments of colors and feeling their softness as she swept her hands over the petals.

Jaken sat down with his arms crossed and a sour look on his face as he watched Rin in the field. This is ridiculous! Why is Lord Sesshomaru so set on fulfilling Rin's pathetic human needs?

Sesshomaru was sitting on a rock not too far away from the others. He couldn't help but look at Rin. It had been ten years since she began following him. She was now eighteen years old. She was no longer a child but a young woman.

How did time pass by so quickly? How could I miss all these new changes? Her childish body was replaced with new curves. She no longer wore her hair the way she did when she was younger, but instead usually wore it down, flowing down her back.

Her face had changed too with new angles to flatter her big brown eyes. It was truly amazing how time could cause so many changes. He couldn't even remember when these changes took place.

He supposed it was when he noticed her old kimono was growing smaller and smaller. He also thought about his bad experiences with these new changes, such as when Rin asked him very embarrassing questions.

He would never forget the day when Rin first became a woman. He would have rather fight an entire army of demons weaponless than to deal with all the confusion that Rin had to go through while Jaken was trying to explain why she was bleeding and the whole "monthly cycle". Sesshomaru had to be extra protective of her during that time because the scent of her blood attracted many demons.

Sesshomaru always wondered why Rin still followed him now. Now that she was a woman, he didn't know what he should do with her. He knew that girls her age were already married and started to have babies. Perhaps Rin wishes to leave me and join a village.

There were days when he considered taking her to a village and leaving her there. He knew that she was physically attractive to other male humans. She could easily find a mate and have a family of her own.

For some reason, Sesshomaru could never send her away. The idea of another man touching Rin made him seethe with anger.

"Lord Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru was instantly brought back from his thoughts by Rin's soft voice. She was walking towards him in her red kimono with pink flowers tracing along the curves of her body. He inhales her scent: wildflowers and fresh rain.

"Lord Sesshomaru."

"What is it Rin?" He noticed that she was holding a large bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"My lord, which flower is the prettiest?"

Sesshomaru felt his heart skip a beat. He turned his head away from her sweet, innocent one. "Why don't you ask Jaken?"

"Because I want to know which one you like best."

Jaken was watching intently. Why does he put up with all this nonsense?

"Please, Lord Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru reluctantly turned his head, not wishing to upset her. She was looking at him with those big brown eyes that somehow seemed to force him to do things against his will.

He looked at the bouquet of flowers. There were many different colors, but there was one flower that caught his attention: a lonely white one. He pointed towards it. Rin's face lit up as she smiled at him and put the white flower in her hair.

"Thank you, my lord!" She danced back out into the meadow.

"Come, we should continue." Sesshomaru got up and began walking away. Rin grabbed A-un's reins and followed.

"Come on, Master Jaken, or you'll be left behind!" However, Jaken was frozen stiff with shock over what just happened. Finally, he came to senses and ran after them.
