Feudal Affair
Sesshoumaru and Rin have known each other for years. To everyone around them, their relationship appears to be one of an easy friendship between demon and human. The only problem...appearances can be deceiving.
I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter I
Rin felt herself breathless as Sesshoumaru kissed her. His kiss was gentle but passionate. The feeling brought her back to a place of safety. Sesshoumaru was known for many things but caring, gentle, compassionate were characteristics he only saved for her. Rin caught her breath again as his hand came to rest against her waist. A feeling of warmth crept through her and she felt the need to draw him closer. He was being too careful.
Trying to hold back was becoming harder as Sesshoumaru felt Rin pull him toward her.
"Rin…"
"It's okay…"
Her kisses came faster and he matched them with his own urgency. The least of their thoughts was when they might take their next breath. Rin only became aware of her surroundings again for a moment as she felt the surface of the wall stop her against his pressure. Any human with good sense might have fought against this demon and yet she welcomed him with ease. Why did every kiss beyond her lips, down her neck, along the line of her collar bone, that he'd eloquently exposed without her knowledge, make her feel as though he'd put her under some spell, drugged her beyond good sense and yet she was fully aware, awake. The feeling of warmth built through her feeling the pressure of him, the wall was the only thing keeping her upright.
He felt Rin's hands searching, caressing, unafraid to explore whatever part of him she wanted. His body was hers to claim. He wouldn't deny her as she'd continued to pull at his haori aggressively enough to undress him. She wore her dress carelessly draped over herself, teasing only enough to drive him wild. He tried to contain impatience as he kissed the bareness of her skin, working his way toward her navel as he bit the sash at her waist, effectively untying it in one pull as he tilted her hips. The softness of her skin was pleasant to the touch. He felt her hands rest on his shoulders before he felt their pressure encouraging his actions, taking him to his knees. He would oblige her desire for him to take the kisses lower.
Her fingertips barely keeping contact with his skin as she slid one leg over his shoulder to give him easier access. A deeper sensation beginning to flood her feeling the proximity of every kiss tease her. She could feel the blood rise into her cheeks and along her temples. She failed to suppress the noise that escaped her from both surprise and satisfaction. The inuyoukai knew how to use his heritage to his advantage. He did not fail to find the source to her oasis. Her back arched as she fought to hold back the sensation of pure bliss only until its intensity overcame her. Her body quivered under the tension grabbing her before finally releasing her.
Her arms wrapped around his neck as he picked her up before laying her onto the floor. Even a moments separation of their bodies kept her pulling him back. Her thighs bringing pressure to his sides nearly wrapping legs to bring him in. She relented slightly as he regained some control intertwining his fingers into hers bringing her hands over her head. He kissed her again feeling a bite to his lips as she arched her hips to meet him. It would be the last time she had to ask.
Rin relaxed into his movement and prided Sesshoumaru's ability to feel her out. She didn't need to speak for him to adjust the pace. Rin knew she was testing his control but she'd never deny him and he always rose to the occasion. She could feel the muscles in his body tensing against her legs. She heard him suppress the growl with every muscle becoming more defined, the grip against her hands bordered discomfort but she trusted that he would never hurt her. Even in this moment he gave her the reigns but she threw them back, letting him have her as he pleased.
Rin pulled herself closer to Sesshoumaru as he lay beside her. The slight redness in his eyes clearing, the markings becoming less jagged, his breaths steadying as he kissed her forehead and she curled herself into the warmth of his arms as he held her. They rested for a while before quiet breaths synchronized as she listened to the beat of his heart. She closed her eyes to keep emotions from flooding her, knowing the truth. What was she doing here again? She knew how he felt, where his heart was, yet she continued with this, whatever this was. One kiss was all it took to bring them to this point and she never wanted these moments to end.
"Is it safe to stay?"
"I wish that it was."
Rin sighed as she sat up, combing her fingers through her hair and pulling it into a bun. She felt him pull the sash around her side, tying it into the neat bow. Rin looked into his eyes trying to hide the sadness she felt creep into her heart. She kissed him again before resting her forehead against his. She held his hand to her cheek as she laid into it. He searched her with his heart feeling the pain that she felt. As much as he wanted to take it away from her permanently they would have to settled for the brief moments when they could be together. The feeling of her always left him wanting more but there was nothing he could do. Both of them finished dressing knowing the weight of the consequences if anyone knew what had taken place here.
"It's okay."
"…"
"You know how to find me."
She closed her eyes tighter the tear slipping down her cheek but she wiped it away quickly as she headed toward the door. Opening it, he lifted her chin and she gave him the smile he always wanted to see and it was enough.
"Take care of yourself."
With those few words she watched him leave. Disappearing into the night. The home was quiet again and she wondered where he would travel next. She missed him already but she couldn't be selfish. He had duties to uphold, battles to fight, and lands to conquer.
The path was easy this night, quiet as he walked it but his thoughts were too loud. The illumination of the moon in a field of flowers was enough to stop him. The wind prompting him to remember how this had started. but leaving him unsure of what the end would bring for them.
Rin moved purposefully down the narrow path alone, loose petals swirling under each footstep as she held the flowers to her chest. A slow march to her destiny, the winds forced her hair across her face, the flowers that crowned her hair only made her smile more beautiful. Watching her, it reminded him of the day that he'd first met her. The toothy grin that she'd shown to him after a curious inquiry when he'd been too prideful to admit that he really cared. She was only a child back then and his concern had only been her safety, well-being and happiness. He would acknowledge her when she picked a flower and showed it to him or beamed with pride holding up her catch of fish. A simple nod of his head sufficed and would put a new smile on her face. He'd watched her grow under Kaede's vigil, learning the ways of her ancestors, the other humans around her. Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to years. A child no longer, Rin had become a beautiful young woman capable of finding love...or so he'd thought.
The breeze picked up again letting the memory fade. Sesshoumaru gave a nod to the sky as Kohaku waved from above on Kirara. The demon slayer would never have to worry for his wife's safety while he was gone.
