The sun goes down

The night rolls in

You can feel it starting all over again

The moon comes up

And the music calls

You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls

You're out of your room

And down on the street

Moving through the crowds through the midnight heat

The traffic roars

And the sirens scream

You look at the faces, it's just like a dream

Rin looked up at the moon as she stopped at a bench. She remembered just who was associated with that moon and how far he had come in his quest for power. Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Province of Japan and owner of Westholdings Incorporated. She had left him years ago when he had been forming his own harem right beneath her very nose. It started with Kagura and Sara, when he had added Yura and Kanna she had had enough.

Shortly after she left, she had crossed paths with a Jiangshi, when her soul refused to leave her dead body, she rose as one herself. She had wandered around trying to find a reason she existed. She had long since come to abide by her master's lesson, he forever told her none of them ever really change, they only become more fully what they are,

FLASHBACK

Yemon stood before Rin who had been freshly turned, his lessons of how to be the perfect child of the night. "To be Godless Rin…is the first step to innocence. To lose the sense of sin and subordination, the false grief for things supposed to be lost. Absence is simply a need for illusion. We breathe in the light of the moon, the music of the night, and the moments as they pass through us." He took her shoulder and motioned for her to claim her unconscious victim. Rin had sat on the ground and felt her fangs pierce the man's throat, drinking in the essence of his blood.

FLASHBACK

"Death we are, and death we've always been" she whispered as she stopped outside the building where her previous love had first met her in the feudal era. They had both come so far, she held his title mate once and she lost it when she left him.

She stepped in and made her way to his office. When she knocked his reply of enter propelled her forward. His voice saying her name made her face him once more after years separated them. Sesshomaru's finger curled under his lip, elbow on the arm of his chair and legs crossed at the ankle as his amber eyes studied her.

"Rin, it has been a long time. I sense a change in you my Mate or do you no longer regard the title as yours?" he asked softly, his eyes never straying from her face. "Come, sit and talk with me, as I recall you used to enjoy being with me" he motioned to the seat before his desk.

Rin sat in the chair and placed her hands on her lap. "Sesshomaru, a lot has changed over the years I have been away. I am no longer the immortal Rin you once knew, I have changed. I've become darker, my needs to survive have changed also."

Sesshomaru leaned forward, his hands on his desk. "I am fully aware of your needs my Mate. Your body craves blood now does it not? Problem is, you can't handle the taste of it without losing control and killing your source of food. I have a solution for that" he said softly, his eyes bearing into hers. "Take mine, I will help you control your need to where you will not kill. When was the last time you ate, you are far too pale Rin."

He stood and came around his desk, taking her hand and pulling her to the sofa in his office where he had taken her so many times. He pulled her onto his lap and pulled her face to his throat, sighing when her fangs pierced his flesh. A soft moan escaped her mouth as the taste of his blood filled her mouth.

Sesshomaru grasped her waist and moved her closer to his body, groaning when her body reacted instantly grinding on her mate's body. He pulled her head back and grasped her shoulders when she tried to snap her jaws back into his throat. "Easy Rin, you had enough…" he felt her claws scrape his chest and he flipped her over, his waist pinning hers to the sofa with her arms pinned above her head.

Rin hissed when his hardened length came in contact with her heat. Sesshomaru understood why she was in a blood craze, his Rin was in heat. That was a part of him that haunted her even after she left she could never escape the heat her body went through.

Rin lay in the bed, head on Sesshomaru's chest as his hand lazily stroked circles along her back. Rin realized that she is a slave to his love, no matter how she leaves and does her own thing she is always back here with him. He lifted her face and kissed her gently. "Why the long face Rin?" he asked softly.

Rin smiled and kissed him back softly. "It is nothing Sesshomaru. Just had several thoughts that I had hoped would clear when I was alone and it would appear that they followed me back here. I just feel like everywhere I turn it's a dead end Sesshomaru, people are after me and I don't know why…" Sesshomaru sat up with her in his arms as his gaze narrowed in on hers.

"Who Rin? Who is after you? I won't let anyone harm you Rin. If it is still your wish for freedom then after this is dealt with, I will release you. I will take back my mark and you will be free to leave if that is what you wish." He said, Rin's eyes searched his and found hurt and an emptiness as he uttered the words for her freedom.

She lowered her head to his shoulder and felt his arms embrace her tightly. "No, it is not my wish Sesshomaru. I feel so safe here, like nothing will ever harm me. I also feel like a slave to you, one who always does as her master bids." Sesshomaru realized what made her feel this way.

"I am a dog demon Rin, it is my nature, however I shall try to allow you to take the initiative in the future my love" he whispered, drawing her lips to his to claim them softly. Rin moved over his body and pressed him to the bed, lips never leaving his. Her hands glided up his chest to thread through his hair as she angled her face to deepen her kiss.

Sesshomaru lifted her robe as he felt her slide onto his hardened length with a groan. His hands grasped her neck as he pulled her body flush up to his, her hips rocking along his body. He allowed her to pull back and sat up to trail kisses along the side of her neck, leaving little nips in his wake.

His hands grasped her waist to rock her hips harder, her moans falling on his ears. He slid a hand up to grasp the back of her neck, shifting her face to look down at him so he could see the way her eyes when she reached her peak.

Rin whimpered as her hips stilled, her eyes turning a deep crimson red as she felt his own release spill into her body, making her peak feel as if it had no ending. Sesshomaru's hands resumed rocking her fast and hard to draw it out longer. Rin felt one of his hands glide along her cheek before he whispered how beautiful her eyes were.

He pulled her down and let her rest on his body, Rin was always his dangerous beauty. However, now that she was changed into something else, she was far more dangerous than before. The people after her will be after her immortality and he knew it.

He looked down and saw her eyes closed and her breathing was deep, signaling she was asleep. He kissed her forehead and covered them with his mokomoko so nothing of them was seen outside the puffy covering. His mokomoko would serve to reconnect their energies and bond, the only thing he regretted was that Rin came back during mating season and to reseal their bond she was not allowed to leave the mokomoko for 3 days.

A/N: I hope to work on Promise and forever Sesshomaru's soon. I am unsure of when that will be as this idea was running through my head all week.
