"Let me go you monster!" Rin was violently flailing against Miru's back as he ran at top speed. Seconds later she realized they were being chased by something or someone else, and that someone else was gaining. That, she figured, was the other youkai. "Why did you involve me in this!?" she slammed her fists into his back once again. "Will you shut up already?" he had never even seen this youkai before. He hadn't expected him to be so fast. Miru pushed himself even harder.

Sesshoumaru was swiftly gaining on his prey. He watched as Rin's body bounced with every movement that half-breed was making. A smirk crossed his features as his eyes locked onto her round breasts as they moved up and down. He felt a bit jealous that it wasn't he who was holding her right now. He was going to destroy that hanyou as soon as he caught him. He really hated these half-breeds. Sesshoumaru brought his gaze up to Rin's chocolate colored eyes.

'This can't be happening!' she stared hard into the warm golden pools. Her breath was caught at the base of her throat. "Put me down this instant Miru!" she began pinching the skin on the back of his arms. "Stop that!" he growled. "Put me down! Put me down! Put me down!" Rin continued screaming at the hanyou carrying her. Miru decided he may as well let her down; he'd be faster without her. He skidded to stop, with the powerful youkai only 20 feet or so away. Sesshoumaru wanted Rin, and he wanted her now. His tongue slid across his lower lip as he took out another tree in his fury.

Rin's eyes widened as the tree fell "Pick me up! Pick me up! Pick me up!" She wanted to meet the man from her dreams, but this guy was crazy! He just knocked down a tree with his bare hands. Miru was off again, this time he seemed faster. Maybe it was just her imagination, but the youkai was no longer behind them. "Oh shit," there was a thud and now Miru was toppling over backwards, which meant that Rin was going face first into the pavement. She inhaled and closed her eyes tightly as she braced for impact. This was clearly going to hurt.

She felt firm hands holding her tightly about the waist. Opening her left eye first, Rin realized that she actually hadn't hit the pavement. The world around her was frozen for a few seconds as she recovered from her near harmful fall. She breathed out a sigh of relief. There was a light vibration coming from her chest, 'what the hell is that?' It took Rin a moment to realize that Miru's face was securely nuzzled between her breasts. "You pervert!" She brutally smacked him across the face and and pushed herself to a standing position, not even thinking to thank her current savior whose hands had just let go. "You are such a jerk," Rin turned right into a solid form.

"Ooof," she began to fall backwards when those same strong hands from before steadied her. She gazed at the figure before her. He was the most magnificent being she could ever remember seeing. His body was muscular and smooth. He wore a white tank top that was currently showing off his sexy broad shoulders and sculpted arms. The red slashes at his shoulders and wrists accented him perfectly. His pants were a leathery black and she could tell that his long legs were just as trim and firm as the rest of him. He had black leather boots on that she was sure were easy to run in. Rin couldn't help but be mesmerized.

"This Sesshoumaru has come to collect you." His voice was almost like a purr. It was very soothing to Rin's ears. 'Wait a second here, this is the same guy who was just taking out trees; full grown trees with only his hands,' her body tensed with her thoughts. She looked up to the face from her dreams. He wore an expressionless mask that was shadowed by silvery bangs.

Rin's fingertips began to itch. For some reason this situation seemed very familiar. This person in front of her had haunted her dreams for the past couple of months and suddenly here he was. With no idea of who he was or where he came from she wanted to trace her fingers over the crescent moon that adorned his head and over the stripes on his cheeks that seemed slightly jagged in comparison to what she recalled. He was youkai and she knew she should be very afraid, but she wasn't. There was a tugging on her mind that she actually knew him, even though she couldn't remember. She wanted desperately to touch him. Her mind began slipping into fantasy as she ignored every warning that Ojiisan had given her about these faerie tale creatures in the last year.

Without warning there was a set of relentless hands cruising madly across her skin. His eyes lazily opened and were turning red around the edges as he stared into hers. She knew what was coming; this was the part where he kissed her; the part where his heated lips came down over her own. Seconds went by and nothing happened. He wanted her, didn't he? Rin opened her eyes and realized that she was day dreaming.

Her silver haired "dream lover" was no longer standing in front of her at all. Smacking herself for being so easily distracted by a fantasy, she looked over at him with disbelief for a moment. Currently he was crushing down Miru. 'Oh, that's just great' the guy, or rather youkai, may have been a pain, but he didn't deserve this. The beautiful man before her, with his long silver hair and stunning muscular form, was smashing his booted foot into Miru's chest. Miru, like the wimp she knew he truly was, had begun pleading for mercy. There was none to be found.

With an explosion of youki, Miru was back on his feet. He was panting heavily though. That burst had taken a lot out him. This wasn't an opponent he currently wanted. Sesshoumaru charged ahead anyway. As he came at Miru he drew a fighting sword. It was one he had kept for hundreds of years, the Toukijin.

'Where did that come from?' It wasn't the first time today that Rin was overly confused. Miraculously as the weapon came down there was a clang of metal hitting metal instead of something less noisy such as metal hitting flesh. 'Miro has one too!?' since when did all the men of Tokyo start carrying swords again?

This was too much. First, she finds out that youkai are real and that she was being kidnapped by one and chased by another. Secondly, the one chasing after had been the same guy from a reoccurring dream. Then, suddenly everyone is walking around with ancient weaponry, but maybe that was just youkai. That didn't make it settle any better.

The two youkai were still at it and Sesshoumaru was going in again. Miru swung his sword in a downward arc mumbling something about wind. A forceful gust of air struck Sesshoumaru hard enough to lift him off of the ground. Being caught off guard for such an attack coming from this hanyou boy, the inu-youkai was knocked back a couple yards. Rin watched the fight with rising anger and fear. This whole situation was ridiculous!

Miru leaned over slightly, gasping for breath. Sesshoumaru hadn't landed yet and refused to be taken off guard again by a mere boy. He let out his youki in the form of a poisonous whip and slashed it across the boy's chest. Miru screeched in agony as Sesshoumaru's feet touched the ground. The inu-youkai had no intention of staying away for long as he rebounded straight for Miru once more. Toukijin was coming down over Miru's slouching body. Sesshoumaru was satisfied that he was finally going to be rid of this minor nuisance.

"NO!" Rin was blocking Miru from the strike that would no doubt kill him. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened with anger and shock as he held Toukijin still in mid-air, "You would choose a half-breed over this Sesshoumaru?" his tone was hard. He was having a difficult time regaining his stoic expression. "That's not it;" Rin's voice was barely audible, "this Rin does not want you to kill anyone." There it was again, that third person nonsense. She couldn't figure out why it seemed so natural. She also couldn't figure out why she wasn't running for her life.

In her nervousness she had caught a loose strand of hair between her fingers and began grinding her foot against the ground. It was that same ground that she was currently boring a hole into with her gaze. Sesshoumaru's features softened a bit as he watched her. "This Rin believes it would be better if no one got hurt." Her face rose up to look at the towering youkai in front of her. He was so beautiful and slightly intimidating; Rin's heart was beating so fast that she felt like she was going to feint. The honey gold eyes locked onto her own as Sesshoumaru sheathed Toukijin. Rin's body froze as he stepped closer and just as his outstretched hand reached her chin the whole world went black.

Her body felt like it was wrapped in a cloud, a warm cloud. She felt soft lips kiss across her neck and shoulder and deft hands caressing her sides. One hand had moved up to cup her breast under her shirt while the other slid up and down her torso. Her eyes fluttered open and she gazed adoringly into a set of gorgeous amber eyes. They closed once again as his lips crashed down shamelessly over hers, begging for entrance to the warm cavern of her mouth. She cautiously tapped his tongue with her own and he took it as an invitation to play. It seemed as though he couldn't get enough of her no matter how much she gave. That was alright though, she was thoroughly enjoying this moment and the feel of his finger tips on her skin. She moaned softly into his mouth when his thumb and index finger took to lightly rolling around her tender nipple. Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck as his kiss went even deeper.

Sesshoumaru couldn't take much more! Her arousal was seeping through every corridor of his spacious home and the lust was going to take him over soon. His inner demon was begging him to ravage her unconscious body with every step towards the room she was in. No, he wouldn't do that. He still had his honor, even if his member was currently pressing hard against his pants. This was still too much to handle at the moment. He slammed the door open when he reached the bedroom.

A loud boom startled Rin to waking. She rose to a sitting position, shoving a blanket down to her waist. Her breathing was heavy and she felt tingly all over. Her body was covered in a light glaze of sweat and when she realized it she felt extremely dirty. 'Why does this keep happening to me?' she wiped her hands over her face with the thought. When she put them on her lap she noticed that she didn't recognize her surroundings.

The bed she was sitting in was gigantic, it was the most comfortable mattress she could remember being on. There were fluffy pillows everywhere. Some were white and others were blue; she could see a crescent moon on most of them. The walls were all such a light blue that they were almost white. To the right of the bed was a door, she figured it was a closet of sorts. To the left, she saw a large glass sliding door that led to a balcony. The blinds were pulled all the way to the side and she could see that it was night. "Oh, no!" Rin gasped and leaped out of the bed, 'Okasan must be furious.'

In a frantic rush she began searching for her belongings. She didn't even realize that Sesshoumaru was standing by the door that led out of the room until she turned around and faced him, shoes in hand. "And just where do you think you are going?" that tantalizing voice of his was so easy on her ears that she almost forgot why she was leaving. Her deep brown eyes grew hazed for a moment, she had just been kissing this person only moments ago and he probably didn't even know it. "Home," she whispered with that thought.

'Okasan is probably worried sick,' with that she gathered her courage and moved forward. 'Right foot, left foot, that's it.' She was almost to the doorway when she felt warm pressure on her left shoulder. Apparently she wasn't as far away from him as she thought. Their eyes locked onto one another's, "Do you really believe that this Sesshoumaru will simply let you slip through his fingers again?" She was so confused, she had only met him in her dreams, was that what he was referring to? He moved in front of her, his hand glided across her neck and up to cup her chin between his thumb and fingers. He was so close that she could smell him.

Rin's eyes were wide and she was falling. The scent that she inhaled had triggered a flow of covered memories. They were only clips from here and there and she couldn't piece it all together. There was just too much. Someone's arms were wrapped around her but they weren't her lords. Yes, that's who he was. He was her Lord, her companion for years and most recently her lover. She had just become Lady of the West a few days before and here she was falling down a hole. Maybe it was a well. Either way, she was screaming for him to save her, but he wasn't. The one holding her had been too quick. There was a glimmer of hope as she saw him reaching for her, but then the world around her blurred. There was nothing but waking up with Okasan by her side, telling her everything was going to be alright. Okasan, she was so familiar… had it been those arms that were holding her as she fell. Everything was so confusing and her head was aching.

Rin fell forward into the solid form before her. She felt warm heavy arms wrap around her body as she whimpered. 'What's going on?' she nuzzled against the body with her thoughts on the tip of her tongue. Nothing but another whimper came out. Her world was spiraling downward. Everything she was remembering contradicted everything she knew. She felt her chin being lifted up, firm fingers were pulling her face up and forward. Her eyes met golden ones once more for a few seconds before his lips really did press against hers.

Her heart was beating so fast that she thought it might explode, but she didn't want the connection to end when he began to pull away. So she draped her arms tightly around his waist and pulled him closer. After such a long time he wasn't about to deny her anything. Pressing his tongue to her lips he beckoned for entrance. Her mouth opened for him and his tongue danced across hers. Seconds later they pulled apart to breath. A very small smile tugged at his lips, but his eyes gave away everything as he stared into her dark cinnamon pools.
