Chapter 7: Drown out my Sorrows with Alcohol
Rin had been feeling down all the rest of the week. She finally broke down and told Kagome what he said to her. Rin's confession brought on another wave of tears as she talked about it. Rin had never been rejected before, granted she never put herself out there to be rejected but she did not like this new feeling at all. Friday finally came and Kagome had enough.
"Rin, please smile just this once. I miss my best friend. You've been so moody lately." Kagome whined.
Rin just sat there.
"Ugh! I swear when I see that bastard at graduation I'm going to kick him in the balls right in front of the entire senior class and audience! Who does Sesshomaru Taisho think he is leading innocent girls on then tossing them aside!? You are not a play thing!" Kagome was pissed.
The girls' front door opened and Shippo popped in.
"You girls really should remember to lock your door." He said smiling.
"Hey Shippo…" Kagome said. Rin said nothing.
"Hi Kagome, Rinny?" Shippo said sensing her sadness. He was angry with himself for letting Rin go on that date with the powerful demon. Shippo felt guilty because he wanted to protect her from everything but he failed to protect her feelings. Shippo sat on the couch next to Rin and placed her in his lap. She leaned into his embrace easily.
"So Shippo, what brings you by this time of day? You're usually in the photography lab." Kagome said.
"Well, I've come with invites. Koga is having a party at Playhouse nightclub tonight and he wanted me to especially invite you Kagome." Shippo said teasingly.
Koga is Kagome's on again off again sex buddy. They usually hook up after both are out partying all night. Koga recently got a girlfriend named Ayame but he still flirts with Kagome at every opportunity. Since he now has a girlfriend Kagome refuses to hook up with him but she still flirts back.
"Oh really, tell him I will be there and we better be in VIP."
"We will, if Rin would be my special guess then all four of us will be in VIP tonight. Rin are you coming?"
Rin wasn't sure if she wanted to go out. Clubs were definitely not her thing. She would much rather stay indoors and read a good book.
"I don't know." Rin said quietly.
"Come on Rin! Pleeeeeaaaasssseeee just this once, you never go to parties with me." Kagome whined.
"We will have a good time and you can get your mind off that ass hole." Shippo said. He wasn't sure what exactly happened between Rin and Sesshomaru but he knew the demon was responsible for her downcast mood.
Rin thought about it some more. I really shouldn't be moping around about something that never was. She thought.
"OK, why not? I'll go." Rin said smiling a little bit.
Kagome and Shippo's eyes brightened. They hadn't seen Rin smile all week.
(Hours later)
They were wasted. Koga kept the alcohol flowing in the VIP section. The music was booming through the speakers. People were everywhere grinding on each other. There were go-go dancers on elevated platforms dancing on provocatively on poles. The lighting kept changing colors from dark blues, purples, magenta and red. There was a stripper pole in the middle of their VIP section and Kagome took full advantage of it in her drunken state. She looked hot. Kagome wore a short green body fitting dress and wore her hair straight cascading down her back. She swayed her hips while her boobs bounced and swung around the pole suggestively. Koga sat on the VIP sofa enjoying the show and drinking large gulps of Rose' champagne. Shippo and Rin saw where things were heading with Koga and Kagome so they made their way to the dance floor.
Shippo and Rin began to dance to the beating music amongst the others in the crowd. They were both also quite drunk. Rin has actually never been drunk before but she decided to throw her reservations out the window for one night. A waitress passed with Patron shots and Shippo grabbed two. Rin and Shippo took the shots then continued dancing. Rin wore black shorts, a grey off the shoulder shirt and black heels. Her hair was hanging loosely around her face in curls. She even wore some eyeliner and dark lipstick. She didn't realize it but she looked absolutely tantalizing that night. With liquid courage, Rin moved her hips to the beat and raised her hands high. Shippo danced in rhythm behind her putting his hands on her hips and pulling her closer to him. Her head reached his neck; Shippo burrowed his nose in her hair taking in her delicious scent. They danced for a while until Rin announced that she had to pee. Shippo decided to go to the bar to get more shots.
Rin stumbled her way to the bathroom grumbling about high heels and too many people. She made it into a bathroom stall but dropped her clutch on the floor. It opened and some of the contents spilled out. As she picked her things up she noticed Sesshomaru's card containing his personal cell phone number.
"Sessssssshomaruuuu Taishyyyyyyoo, you jerk!" Rin said to the card. Her drunken mind decided it was a good idea to call him and let him have it. She dialed his number slowly and waited for him to pick up.
Sesshomaru answered on the second ring, "Hello"
"Sesshomaruuuu, you a-are a jerk!" Rin screamed.
"Rin?"
"No, it's M-misssss Mikami to y-you ass hole." Rin drunkenly stammered.
"Rin, where are you?" He sounded demanding and angry. Rin was taken aback by his tone. She suddenly decided calling him was not a good idea.
"I have t-to go." Rin hung up on the demon.
She stumbled her way back out onto the dance floor and found Shippo waiting with two more shots; Kagome was on his right side.
"Where's Koga? Rin said.
"Upstairs with blue balls." Kagome laughed. "He really thought I would fuck him in VIP. I just teased him and left him hanging."
They all laughed. "Ok you two, I'm going find someone to dance with. See you later!" And Kagome was off, swallowed up by the crowd. Kagome completely trusted Shippo, she had no qualms about leaving Rin with him while being intoxicated.
Rin's head was spinning but she drank the shot Shippo had anyway. Rin and Shippo danced really closely until Shippo found a corner in the club and pushed Rin into it. Rin's feet were hurting, when she leaned her back against the wall she threw her head up in relief while parting her lips to let out a sigh. Suddenly she felt lips crash against hers. Rin's eyes widened when she realized it was Shippo. Even while inebriated she tried to push Shippo away. Shippo's strong, lean body didn't register Rin's little shoves. Suddenly, Rin felt a gust of wind from Shippo being pulled off of her so fast.
"I believe she doesn't want your attention." said a deep, threatening voice.
Shippo was on the floor looking dazed. He looked up into cold, dangerous amber eyes belonging to none other than Sesshomaru. He stood tall over the fox demon glowering at Shippo with a promise of death if he challenged him. Shippo put his hands up signaling he would not challenge him and slowly rose to his feet. People in the club continued to dance not even noticing what was happening in the corner.
Shippo turned to Rin, "I'm so sorry Rin. I didn't realize…"
Rin was still a bit shaken and refused to meet his eyes. "Please just leave Shippo." She said sadly.
"But…"
"The lady said go!" Sesshomaru bellowed.
Shippo took a glance at Rin who still held her head down like a child in trouble. He turned around and left the night club.
Sesshomaru turned his attention to Rin. "You have been drinking." He said in a bored tone.
Rin was embarrassed. Why is he here? She thought.
"You need water, come with me." He grabbed her hand and led her towards the bar to order two bottles of water. Rin noticed he was served immediately before everyone who were already waiting at the bar. Sesshomaru spoke to a nightclub employee and was given a VIP area on the spot. He led Rin into the area and ordered her to sit on the sofa.
Rin felt incredibly awkward. Why is he here? That question kept running through her head. She took slow sips of the water while trying to avoid his gaze. He stared at her intensely looking very irritated. However, his gaze softened when he took in her outfit. She looked damn sexy. Sesshomaru almost couldn't blame Shippo for wanting to kiss her. But she was off limits to all males. Sesshomaru thought of her the entire week and almost called to take back what he said. When she called him sounding completely wasted, he flew into action knowing she was vulnerable.
Rin broke the silence first, "how did you find me?"
"I tracked your phone, then tracked your scent when I picked it up." He said easily.
Rin was shocked "Huh? How did you…."
"Money comes with great privileges." He said smirking. "How do you feel?" Once again turning serious. This demon must have personality disorder, Rin thought jokingly.
"I feel a little better. Thanks for the water."
"Would you like me to take you home?" he said.
"No, I need to find Kagome first." Rin said looking around. They both stood and made their way to the mass of people on the dance floor. Rin spotted Koga and they walked over to him.
"Hey Koga, did you see Kagome?" Rin asked.
"Yea, she over there dancing with that mangy mutt." Koga said gruffly while pointing.
Sesshomaru let out a low growl that sent Koga away quickly.
Rin did not hear the growl but she did spot Kagome. Her best friend was dancing with a guy sporting long silver hair very similar to Sesshomaru's. Rin gulped, she recognized the moves Kagome was putting on the guy. When Kagome danced like that, she was usually planning to take the guy home for the night. Rin briefly remembered all the safe sex talks she had with her friend.
Rin approached the dancing couple with Sesshomaru following close behind. As she got closer she noticed the guy's cute puppy ears and amber eyes the same as Sesshomaru's. Rin looked back at Sesshomaru with a questioning look.
He leaned down close to Rin's ear so she couls hear him over the blaring music. "He is my half-brother, Inuyasha. We were together when you called and he came with me to look for you but obviously he found your friend." Sesshomaru mumbled the last part to himself.
That would explain the similarities, Rin thought. She knew he was a half demon after seeing the puppy ears; she loved them and found herself wanting to touch them. Inuyasha was almost as attractive as his brother, Rin thought; however he was cute in a more rugged way while Sesshomaru was more clean-cut. While Sesshomaru was wearing slacks and a dress shirt, Inuyasha was wearing jeans and a black v-neck t shirt fitting over his muscled body perfectly.
Rin walked up to the couple and tapped Kagome on the shoulder.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru is going to take me home." Rin said loudly trying to be heard over the music. Rin expected Kagome to have a bitch fit because she was still pretty pissed with Sesshomaru.
"Ok, I'm going to stay with Inuyasha." Kagome said dreamily. Rin was surprised. She wasn't expecting Kagome to agree.
"She'll be fine; I will get her home safely." Inuyasha said then pulled Kagome closer and licked her neck. Rin was disgusted and still worried about leaving Kagome with someone she didn't know.
"She will be fine, my brother is harmless." Sesshomaru said. Rin still wasn't sure but she knew Kagome didn't want to leave so she waved goodbye and left with Sesshomaru.
The car ride to Rin's apartment was quiet for the most part. Rin had been trying to work up the courage to talk to him while Sesshomaru was lost in his own thoughts.
"Why did you come for me?" Rin finally asked.
"You sounded intoxicated." He said flatly.
"Why do you even care? You told me to leave you alone and you let me go without even trying to get to know me!" Rin screamed at him. All the anger she felt that day came rushing back to her. His emotionless answer really triggered her. Sesshomaru couldn't answer her. His silence only made Rin more emotional. Soon she was crying.
Sesshomaru couldn't stand being the reason for her tears. He pulled over on the side of the street and leaned over to put his arm around Rin. He put his nose in her hair mumbling apologies while she continued to cry. Her tears began to slow and she sniffled. Sesshomaru pulled back handing Rin a handkerchief.
"I was selfish."
Rin looked at him with questioning eyes so Sesshomaru continued.
"I didn't give you the opportunity to decide if you want to stay away from me or not. Rin there are things about me that I wasn't sure you could handle. I will allow you to get to know me and let you decide for yourself."
Rin was at a loss for words. What did he mean about things she could not handle? She wanted to get to know him, she really did. His eyes held secrets she wanted to know about. They gazed at each other. Sesshomaru studied her big brown eyes filled with want; he looked down at her soft pink lips and felt his self-control slipping. He knew she would no longer want him after she finds out what his life is like but in this moment he would take advantage of just how bad she wanted him now.
Sesshomaru leaned over and captured Rin's lips in a passionate kiss. She readily accepted him when his tongue found its way into her mouth. She tasted sweet, just as he'd imagined she would. She is pure, innocent, untouched and his for the taking. He growled as he felt her grip his hair. As their kiss deepened he pulled her out of her seat and onto his lap straddling him. His hands crept up the soft skin of her back slowly leaving a tingling trail along the way. The scent of her arousal flooded the air inside the car. Sesshomaru's famous self-control was on the brink of no return. His instincts were screaming at him to take her here and now! Sesshomaru's hips began to buck against her and she returned his effort without fear.
Grinding against him felt good. An unfamiliar feeling started to pool in her belly intensifying with every move. The erection in his pants rubbed against her heat through the thin material of her shorts creating an electrifying friction. Rin wasn't sure what was going on but she did not want it to stop. They moved in sync with one another until the feeling Rin was experiencing intensified. A powerful orgasm seized her body; she collapsed on his chest too exhausted to realize what just happened. Sesshomaru came also releasing his seed in his boxers. He cursed quietly because he had made a mess on himself.
What happened that night was a first for them both. Rin never experienced anything so sensual in her life. Sesshomaru on the other hand, never experienced an orgasm from simply dry humping. He usually experienced orgasms from actual sex.
Sesshomaru heard Rin's breathing become steady again, she had fallen asleep. He placed her back on the passenger seat and drove to her apartment. He carried her inside also grabbing his gym bag from the trunk of his car to change his soiled pants.
Sesshomaru grabbed her key from her clutch and entered the apartment. He could smell in which direction her room was. As he passed Kagome's room he could here loud moaning and skin slapping against skin hard. My brother is a reckless idiot he thought. He entered Rin's room and placed her in her bed. He quickly removed his pants and boxers to put on a pair of gym shorts. He also undressed Rin and put a t-shirt on her that he found in her drawer. He admired her creamy skin and supple curves while he undressed her but he had too much honor to touch her while she was unaware.
As Sesshomaru prepared to leave, he heard Rin mumble in her sleep "Don't go." He stood and contemplated for a while but decided to stay. He slid into bed with her and wrapped his arms around her small frame. She fit him perfectly he thought as he was captured by the song of sleep.
