Chapter Seven:

"Sesshoumaru-sama? Milord is that you?"

'Dammit! She spotted me!' Sesshoumaru thought bitterly. He took a deep breath and answered her. "Yes. What are you doing all alone at the garden at a time like this Rin?", he asked trying to keep his demeanour.

"Uh… oh! I was actually plucking some flowers just now in the evening…for you. And then I thought of watching the stars", Rin answered Sesshoumaru timidly thinking that he was still angry at her for the morning's incident.

'Flowers? For me?', he wondered as he arched his eyebrow. Then he started, "I see. Do not stay too late Rin. This Sesshoumaru shall get back to his chamber now". He turned around, his back facing Rin and started walking. 'Keep walking. Do not turn back. Do not breathe in her scent', he told himself.

He was somewhat relieved that he could escape from her scent before his sexual instincts were set free. However his relief turned to fear when Rin stopped him.

"W…wait Sesshoumaru-sama!", Rin exclaimed. She ran up to him as he stopped in his tracks. She stopped directly in front of him and locked her eyes with his. She wanted to apologize to him about the morning's incident, but wasn't able to for some reason. They stared at each other intently for some time. Rin was mesmerized by the exquisite colour of his eyes that she forgot why she stopped him.

Sesshoumaru was the first one to break the gaze and start a conversation. "Why did you stop this Sesshoumaru?", he asked her. He may look fine on the outside, but his inside was burning with desire for Rin. Her scent and her intent stare at him were more than enough to drive him nuts.

"Oh yes… Erm… Milord, about this morning…", Rin trailed off.

"What about this morning?", he asked without looking at her. 'Dammit Rin. Make it fast! I'm already getting out of control!', he cursed Rin inwardly.

"I apologize for my behaviour this morning. I'm sorry for touching you without your permission milord", she said in a low and smooth voice.

'Oh Kami! Is she doing this on purpose! Must she apologize to me in such an alluring voice, just like the one in my dream!', Sesshoumaru thought. He just closed his eyes tight without replying her. He was in the midst of pulling himself together with his very last effort.

Rin stood an arm length away watching him carefully. When she did not get a reply from him and caught him squeeze his eyes shut, she got scared. 'Is he still angry with me?'.

"Milord? Are you alright?", she asked him with concern.

"Rin. Your apology is accepted", Sesshoumaru said quickly and turned to walk away.

Rin watched him turn to walk away.

'Rin! This is the right chance for you! Go tell him you love him! Quick!', her conscience suddenly appeared encouraging her.

'No! I won't! He hates human! I don't want him to reject me! I shall just love him from a distance!'

'Come on! Give it a shot! You may not know! He might return your feelings! I told we will think of something else if he rejects you! Trust me! Now go!'

Before she knew it, Rin held onto Sesshoumaru's wrist. Her touch sent waves of shocks and pleasure down Sesshoumaru's stiff spine. He looked down at her hand which was holding onto his wrist and then reluctantly lifted his gaze to hers. Then he heard her speak.

"Sesshoumaru-sama…There's…there's something…something I need to give you", Rin said, suddenly remembering that she hadn't give him the flowers she plucked for him yet. She couldn't bring herself to tell her lord that she loved him.

'Please make it quick Rin… Or I'll have to take you right now…', Sesshoumaru thought miserably, while he clenched his jaw. He knew that he had to give in to his sexual instincts eventually.

Rin removed her hand from Sesshoumaru's wrist when she realised that she was still holding onto him and thrust her right hand which was holding onto the flowers forward. Again, for the second time of the day, Sesshoumaru had to resist himself from whimpering for losing her touch. He looked at the flowers and slowly retrieving it from her, careful not to touch her.

He was about to walk away again when Rin grabbed hold his wrist again.

'I have to tell him now. I have to tell him now. I HAVE TO TELL HIM NOW', her mind repeated with determination.

Meanwhile her lord took a deep breath through his nose forgetting the fact that Rin was in heat. He had been breathing through his mouth all the while until Rin got hold of his wrist again, which caused some unknown reaction to his body that he decided to use his nose instead, for better ventilation.

'Damn. I. Can't. Take. It. Anymore', Sesshoumaru's rein had just snapped after one swift intake of Rin's scent in it.

As Rin opened her mouth to speak, he crashed his mouth onto hers. He kissed her long and hard with all the pent up passion he had within himself. Rin gasped at the sudden action of her lord. When she felt his tongue flicking against her lips, she gasped again.

Sesshoumaru took this opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth tasting the exquisite sweetness that was hers alone. He explored the moist cavern of her mouth, tracing her teeth and everything else in her mouth.

Rin kissed in abandon. Her tongue twined with his, duelling with his. Her arms curled around his neck, pulling him closer. 'Sesshoumaru-sama loves me!', she thought happily as inuyoukai lord deepened the kiss. He let his left arm curl around her waist while his right hand stroking her cheek.

'She's so sweet. Sweeter than anything else on earth', Sesshoumaru thought. His mind was fully filled with passion for Rin. Nothing else but that. He reluctantly broke the kiss to catch his breath, while Rin hers. He looked at the human girl before him. She was breathing hard. Her breath came in fast, choppy bursts just like his. Her cheeks were flushed and her chocolate brown pools were clouded with lust.

Rin just eyed the inuyoukai while catching her breath. She didn't know her lord kissed her all of a sudden. Though curious to know the reason, she kept quiet. After regaining most of her breath, she started speaking. She tried to keep her voice steady but to no avail.

"Se…Sesshoumaru-sama". She turned away from him, hiding her blush. She did not continue speaking, trying to get her voice to steady.

Sesshoumaru was still collecting himself together in the attempt of gaining control over himself before he could take her innocence away right then and there.

He just watched her turn away as she spoke his name. For some reason, he was feeling worried that she would reject him, at the moment. 'Wait a minute. Reject me! I don't love her! So why do I bother!'.

Once Rin felt she was ready to speak, she started again. "Sesshoumaru-sama I—"

"Rin" Sesshoumaru interjected. "I'm sorry for the ki-"

Before he could finish apologising to her for the kiss, Rin turned around and placed her index finger on his lips to stop him from apologizing. Sesshoumaru was surprised by her sudden action. He just watched her, waiting for her to speak.

"Don't be sorry. I've always wanted this Sesshoumaru-sama", she smiled as she assured him. "Goodnight Milord. Have a good night's rest", Rin wished him and turned away.

The inuyoukai watched her strolling back to the palace, feeling sad for her departure. He didn't know why but he felt empty within himself as he watched Rin leave. He furrowed his brows when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Oh and milord?", she called out to him just turning her head, enough for her to glance at him.

Questioningly Sesshoumaru quirked his eyebrow when he heard her call out to him.

"Aishiteru Sesshoumaru-sama", she said blushing and ran off.

Sesshoumaru was dumbstruck at hearing her confession. One part of him was leaping in joy after hearing her confession. Another part of him was in a state of shock, while the other part of him was yelling at him not to fall for a human.

The Taiyoukai averted his attention from her to the stars and the moon above him. 'Rin', he uttered mentally. After the human girl got out of sight, he slowly glided back to his chamber with Rin's confession replaying in his mind.
