The Lion and His Lamb
Rin groaned as she opened her eyes. She had a pounding headache and she was freezing. She couldn't remember where she was and had no idea what was going on.
Her hand flew to her forehead and she immediately closed her eyes again. Her head really did hurt. This action caused cold water to splash in her face, shocking her fully awake. Her eyes shot back open and she coughed out some water.
Panic started to take over as she took in her surroundings. She was naked in a pool of water in a room she had never seen before. The walls of the room were blood red with gold trim, and it wasn't a pool but, a bathtub. The tub was full to her chest with what looked like lilac petals and extremely cold water.
'What the hell is going on...'
Rin tried to stand, she needed to find clothes and get the fuck out of there. But, her whole body was numb from the water and something was holding her tightly in place.
She froze, completely beside herself with fear. She leaned back, pressing up against something warm and firm. She tilted her head back slowly, heart pounding, breath hitched, and looked up at her capture.
Her heart continued to race but, her fear subsided as she took in the beautiful, sleeping face of Sesshoumaru. But, that dissipated fear was soon replaced by pure rage. She realized that the thing holding her down was the clawed hand of Sesshoumaru, just beneath her naked breasts.
"SESSHOUMARU!" Rin yelled angrily as she squirmed in his grip, trying to free herself. A low growl rumbled up Sesshoumaru's chest, vibrating against Rin's naked back. A scowl took over his features and his grip tightened on his prey.
Rin's eyes widened and slight fear took hold again as she felt the rumbling in Sesshoumaru's chest. 'What the fuck was that...?'
But, he wasn't going to win that easily. Rin narrowed her eyes, no longer worried about foolish embarrassment. She twisted herself in his grip, straddling Sesshoumaru's lap. Her bare breasts pressed up against his chest, his claw clasped hands now gripping her lower back.
Briefly, as she repositioned herself to face him, Rin's virgin slit slid across Sesshoumaru's hardening member. Rin hadn't noticed this, however, given the fact that most of her body was numb due to the cold water.
'How fucking long have we been in this bath?'
Rin placed her small, human hands on Sesshoumaru's shoulders, pulling herself up his wet body. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed his ears. She furrowed her brow. 'They're pointed...' She slid a hand up his neck and to one of his pointed ears, rubbing the tip of it. "Hmm.."
This could wait, she didn't have time for his mysteries. Not now, "Sesshoumaru." She said again. Her voice echoed off the walls of the bathroom and directly into Sesshoumaru's sensitive hearing.
He stirred again, another growl rumbling up between their tightly pressed together bodies. His honey colored eyes opened only slightly, not really focused on anything. "What...?" He said, irritation coating the word.
Sesshoumaru wasn't accustomed to being woken up or bothered in general. People usually feared him and left him completely alone. The fact that someone would dare wake him from such a peaceful slumber highly fucking irritated him. He hadn't slept so deeply in such a long time and for a few moments, the previous night's events had vanished.
The memory came rushing back quickly, though. The sight of the angry human woman glaring up at him clawed at his senses. He realized he was really cold too and was clutching tightly onto something soft.
His eyes widened and he woke fully. "Rin?" He questioned.
Rin stared at him for a moment, becoming more and more annoyed every second. She was freezing and her head was killing her. "I've been trying to wake you for some time." She said, unable to hide her irritation with him.
Sesshoumaru simply smiled. Amused with the angry woman who was naked on his lap. Rin scowled at him as she tried, yet again, to pull herself up and away from him.
Sesshoumaru chuckled softly at the woman's naivety. He tightened his grip on her, smashing their bodies roughly back together.
His penis hardened again as he did this. His inner yokai howling from deep within to be released. His throbbing, growing member rubbing up against Rin's exposed privates before being pressed in between their bodies.
Rin's eyes widened as she felt this arousing sensation. Her heart began to race and fear and anger started to take over completely.
Before she could do or say anything, however, Sesshoumaru leaned down, capturing her mouth with his own. A deep and passionate kiss bore into Rin.
Rin's eye's widened even more, completely taken aback by this conduct. 'How dare he... What the fuck is up with this guy?' They barely knew each other and here they were, naked, in a bathtub, kissing.
'Seriously, what the hell...'
Rin pushed against his chest as hard as she could, resulting in nothing but egging him on even further. Sesshoumaru began rubbing and kneading her butt cheeks, spreading and pulling them open and closed. The more he touched her, the more aroused he became. Deep rumbling growls started vibrating between their bodies. But, these vibrations were different, no longer angry, but... More like a purr.
Rin was curious about this rumbling and really wanted to get some clothes on but, her eyes closed and she stopped protesting. As if under a spell, her own arousal began to take over and replace her anger. Sesshoumaru's passion poured into her like warm sake, filling and intoxicating her.
'Damn him...'
Sesshoumaru's tongue entered Rin's mouth and her tongue followed suit. Soon they were vigorously making out, hand's rubbing, kneading and pulling on each other's bodies.
Sesshoumaru took this as an acceptance of defeat and his hands slid further down, rubbing gentle circles from her ass to her ever swelling pleasure bud.
Rin's eye's shot open at this sensation, she liked it... Too much. She pulled away from his kiss and before she could think, or stop herself, she smacked Sesshoumaru. Her face was flushed and she was breathing heavily. The smack echoed through the room and they both froze, his hand still on her bare privates and her glaring up at him.
Sesshoumaru had a look of pure shock on his face. 'Had I misread a signal somewhere?... These humans can be so fickle...' He stared the girl down, his cheek stinging from her tiny slap, his member throbbing and twitching against her stomach.
Rin glared up at him. She was about to slap him again, furious with herself for being so seduced by him.
For letting her guard down, and furious with him for being so goddamn forward and manipulative. He had no tact at all.
"Let me go. NOW." She said angrily.
Sesshoumaru hesitated, he circled his fingers around her swollen pleasure bud once more before slowly and reluctantly sliding his clawed hands up her soft, curved body. He raised his hands off her and out of the water, holding them up as if at gunpoint.
The sensation of his fingers playing with her privates sent shivers through her entire body, like an electric shock. A soft sigh passed her lips but, the angry scowl remained.
"For some reason... I like you." She said as she stood. Water dripping down her curvy, naked body.
"But, I'm saving myself for marriage." She added as she climbed out of the tub, grabbing the towel that was hanging nearby. She covered herself quickly, relieved to have a shield between her and Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru watched her, completely captivated by this small, human woman. His inner yokai totally ravenous for her. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. Not even with his ex-wife.
"Then marry me." He blurted out as he stood from the cold bath. Water and lilac petals running down his tall, muscular body.
Rin turned to him, cheeks blushing and face in total shock.
"Ww-what?" She stuttered.
"Marry me." He demanded again, stepping out of the bathtub, standing completely naked before her. His penis erect and slightly swaying with his movement.
Rin glanced down at it, taking a mental note of his massive size. Her vaginal muscles twitching at the thoughts that ran through her mind. She turned away from him quickly.
"We...We don't even know each other." She said, walking back into his room in search of her clothes. She needed to get the hell out of there, needed to clear her head, needed to get to work...
Sesshoumaru hastily grabbed a towel and followed after her. He didn't know why but, his inner yokai, his very essence was going crazy inside him. 'We cannot lose her... We must have her... She is the one...' His inner-self was actually speaking to him no less.
"So what?" He questioned, sitting on his bed, watching her get dressed. Rin didn't look at him as she clasped her bra and pulled her dress over her head. "I feel like, when you marry someone, you should definitely get to know them a little bit first." She answered, slightly amused by his ignorance. He was acting like a spoiled child whose toy had just been taken from him.
"We can get to know each other later." He persisted, confused by her refusal. How could she not feel the same overwhelming connection that he felt?
'Baka humans...'
Rin sat down next to him, turning to face him and crossing her arms. "No." She said.
Sesshoumaru's inner yokai howled at her defiance. Her disobedience was really starting to get to him. "Why the hell not?" He questioned again, his feature's annoyed. For a second, Rin could have sworn his eye's flashed red...
Rin sighed out, she couldn't wrap her head around this guy. "How do you know you would even be able to love me? You know nothing about me. What if you find you really hate me?" She asked as she cocked a brow at him.
Sesshoumaru scowled at her, suppressing a growl. "Impossible." He said, "I can't explain it, I just know. You're the one I've been searching for and I've been searching a long time... I just know." He added, laying a hand across her thigh.
His eyes were intense. He was so serious, so desperate.
Rin's eyes widened, she just couldn't believe this guy. "Well... I don't know you or what I want." She said slowly as she placed her small human hand over his large clawed one. "But... I have to admit... I feel drawn to you as well." She added, a slight blush crossing her cheeks.
Sesshoumaru smiled and leaned in to kiss her.
Rin's eyes widened. Heart racing, her hand shot up instinctively. She placed her hand on Sesshoumaru's lips, stopping his advance. A growl escaped Sesshoumaru's lip's and he lightly bit one of her fingers.
Rin yelped and grabbed her hand back, scowling at him. "What the hell is all this growling and biting about anyway?" She demanded to know. "It's like you're some sort of animal or something." She said, half angry at him for biting her, half curious.
"That's because I am some sort of animal," Sesshoumaru answered. Bearing his fangs in a devilish grin.
"What the hell does that even mean?" Rin asked. 'Oh great, he's gorgeous and successful and totally into me... But, of course, he's a fucking nut job.' She thought to herself as she surveyed him.
Sesshoumaru sighed, standing up and turning his back to her. "I'm not crazy, I'm a DaiYokai." He said, knowing exactly how that would sound to a human. He would have to show her and he didn't want to scare her off.
He didn't know why but, his inner self, his true self, his inner yokai could not afford to lose her. "Perhaps you are right. We should get to know each other." He said, his voice salty with defeat.
He turned to her, his eyes intense again. "But, mark my words, Rin... You will be mine." He said, completely sure of himself. As if stating a fact.
Rin was taken aback by this, yet, oddly flattered. She smiled sweetly at him. "I can't wait to see how you manage that one." She retorted as if daring him. She stood and turned on her heel, heading toward the door. She turned her head to the side but, did not look at him. "I'm not as great as you seem to think I am."
And with that, she was gone.
Sesshoumaru stared after her, everything in him wanted to grab her and lock her back within his embrace, never letting her go. He had to get a grip, had to control these inhuman urges he had. She wasn't like him. Human's were fragile and fickle beings whose lives burnt up like matches, blinding and quickly over.
He had lived a long and fruitful life of solitude. Even the times he had spent with his now ex-wife, he remembered feeling alone, constantly chasing the next high, searching desperately for something. He had just never been able to pinpoint what exactly it was that was missing, what he was searching for.
Money, drugs, women... He'd done it all, had it all and none of it satisfied him. Never.
But, when he saw that woman in the bar, he knew. Countless centuries of traveling, of fighting and clawing and howling and searching... But, in that moment, sitting next to that woman in that bar, he knew.
He had finally found what he'd been searching for. The missing piece to his puzzle. He could not afford to lose her. He felt like he would burst into flames if she slipped through his grasp. He would not allow it.
'She will be the death of me... I'm sure of it. But, damn it... It will be a fun ride...'
Back At The Bakery:
Rin walked through the bakery doors with a heavy sigh. She was greeted by an employee. "Rin-san! Thank Kami! Your sister has been blowing up our phone for 2 days now! I'm glad to see you are alright." The young girl at the front counter was frantic.
Rin smiled weakly at her. "Sorry Nani, I've not been feeling well, took a few day's off." She replied.
Nani looked curiously at her. "But... Rin-san.. You live above the bakery..." She said quietly. Clearly not buying Rin's story.
Rin stopped dead in her tracks. "Yes... You're quite right. But... I... I was so ill I decided to stay with a friend. I would have stayed with Kagome but, we all know how she gets." Rin blurted out quickly, hoping Nani would buy the lie and lay off her.
Nani nodded, "Ah, yes... That makes sense." She said, going back to the checklist on her clipboard. "Well" She started without looking up, "Sales have been good, very little waste. I hope you're feeling better, boss." She said, checking things off her list.
Rin sighed in relief. "Yes... Much better..." She lied again as she started up the stairs to her loft above the bakery. She needed aspirin and clean clothes, not to mention the fact that she had 20 missed calls and 12 messages from Kagome.
Should she tell her sister the truth, or just lie to pacify her?
Rin took her clothes off, sprawling down on her bed naked. She sighed again, she just couldn't seem to keep her clothes on lately. She shook this thought from her head as she dialed her twin sister's number, almost bored with the ringing.
"Rin-chan, where the HELL have you been?" Kagome yelled through the phone, not even a hello. "Kagome, I am a grown ass woman and I do not have to answer to you," Rin yelled back before hanging up.
She sat up on the edge of her bed, tossing her phone behind her. "There, Kagome, check." She said aloud to herself. "Now for clothes and aspirin."
Rin felt quite liberated after telling her sister off. It was odd for her to be MIA for 2 day's but, she was correct in the fact that she was a grown ass woman and did not have to answer to her. And she wasn't going to anymore. Rin was going to do whatever the hell she wanted to.
Later That Night:
It was late. Rin had just closed the bakery for the night and was heading upstairs when a knock at the door caught her attention. She did not turn, she merely yelled behind her with a wave to whoever it was, "Sorry, we're closed." and took another step up the stairway.
"Rin."
Sesshoumaru's voice rang through her ears like a bell, hitting her very core and rattling her entire body. Rin's eye's widened. She gulped as she slowly turned around.
Between some dark distance and a locked glass door was Sesshoumaru. A single rose in hand and a wicked grin on his face.
Rin walked slowly to the door but did not open it. She merely stared up at his beautifully sculpted face. She didn't have to open it, did she? No. She did not. And maybe she wouldn't, maybe she would just turn around, ignore him and go to bed like she had planned.
Sesshoumaru sensed her enternal struggle and chuckled down at her. "You're cute when you're indecisive." He said through the glass. "Let me in." He added, his smile fading. "Don't make me stand outside all night, I think it's going to rain, and I'm not leaving." He added.
Rin rolled her eyes and sighed, unlocking the door and walking away from him, up the stairs and out of sight.
Sesshoumaru locked the door behind him and followed Rin up the stairs, a curious look on his face as he took in the sight's and smells of the bakery.
Rin pulled her hair out of the high bun it was in, took her pants off and changed into a baggy T-shirt. All the while not saying a word to Sesshoumaru. She didn't even care that he was watching her change, after all, they had nearly had sex the night before.
Sesshoumaru watched her closely, taking in every feature of her curved body. He had already memorized every inch of her but, he would never grow old of actually seeing it.
Rin plopped down on her bed and laid back, her bare legs and panties fully visible to Sesshoumaru as he stood over her.
"You're hovering." She said, annoyed. "Sit or something." She added with a yawn.
Sesshoumaru put the Rose on her nightstand and laid on her bed alongside Rin. He too was tired and very happy to be close to her again. He propped his head up on one hand, the other he used to caress her cheek. "I missed you." He said.
Rin turned to look at him, nuzzling his hand without even thinking about it. She was surprised by her own actions but, too tired to analyze them at that moment.
She looked into Sesshoumaru's eye's, taking him in. She was so tired and the day had been very stressful. There was something about his presence that relaxed her. She had to admit, he had an effect on her.
Rin sighed in defeat. "I've thought about you all day." She admitted.
Sesshoumaru smirked in triumph. His prey was already falling right into his hands.
Rin returned his smirk with a glare. "It isn't funny, Sesshoumaru." She said, looking away from him.
"I don't think it's funny." He said, scooting closer to her and wrapping his arms around her torso, pulling her into him. "I just like winning." He added, chuckling into her hair.
Rin curled into him. He was big and warm, like a blanket and she was so tired. She buried her face into his chest and breathed him in, closing her eyes. He smelt amazing too. Other than his huge ego, and tactless arrogance, this guy was the perfect catch. Maybe she could train him... ((I literally LOLed IRL when I typed that last sentence))
"Who said you're winning?" Rin asked into Sesshoumaru's chest. "Maybe you're falling into my trap." She said, drifting in and out of sleep.
Sesshoumaru stared off into the darkness. He hadn't considered this. What if he was? Was that the reason for his inner yokai's change? Was he actually the one losing? Was he the one being trapped?
He thought about this for a while as he listened to Rin sleep against his chest. He decided then and there. "I don't care even if it is true. I will allow myself to be defeated by you." He whispered into her hair. Rin sighed out and curled further into him as she slept.
Sesshoumaru tightened his grip on the girl. Death himself couldn't pry her from his arms.
