Hurricane
And since the roof fell in, I'll lean on what matters.
Sesshoumaru cradled Rin in his arms and turned around to give his intruder a face. He had been too lost in thought to notice Kouga's presence earlier. This was the man who had taken and destroyed a woman, a woman that Sesshoumaru had loved. It would not be allowed to happen again. Rin looked over Sesshoumaru's shoulder her fingers wrapped around his arm. He could smell the salt of her tears. He looked to Kouga and growled viciously like an animal.
"Stop this, please." she whispered gently, urging him to calm. He turned and looked at her beautiful face. Her hair and clothes stuck to her body. Her eyes were confused and of course he knew it would be so. She had not been in this body for centuries. She had been resting peacefully while he had been waiting for her to return to him eagerly. It was cold in the basement and Rin was shivering behind Sesshoumaru.
"What have you done!" Kouga growled at the dog demon, he was furious. His claws and and fangs began to elongate as if they were become stronger with his anger. He looked at Rin, who could not speak at the sight of him. Sesshoumaru scooped Rin into his arms and jumped soaring to the top of the stairs. Kouga was left in the basement alone shaking in anger and disbelief.
This could not be happening. It was surely impossible. A dead woman could not live again. He wanted to be with the Rin that he had worked to be with. The Rin that he had earned through years of change and struggle. Kouga had learned his lesson, he had done everything right this time. This Rin loved him without force.
"I will make it right." he growled with tears falling from his eyes. He stormed from the house, he did not have the desire to see that version of her. She was a reminder of everything that he now hated about himself. She was a symbol of his past mistakes, of everything he regretted. If he had never laid eyes on her things would have been better. He could have been happy. 'That's right. I wish I never met you.' he thought as released his anger on an innocent tree.
The bark was torn off and blood was left on the wood. He screamed and tore away at the tree until he could not do so anymore. Pretending to be human for so long had made his body tired. He growled and collapsed to the ground. He hadn't eaten properly for his demanding needs for years. It was surprising to himself that he could do this much despite his condition. It was then he could feel his senses rushing back to their former glory. The sounds of small animals in a two mile radius breathing poured into him. Suddenly he could feel an overwhelming hunger take hold of him.
"It's been too long." he tried to hold himself back but found that he had begun chasing after a small rabbit whom did not stand a chance. It was not five seconds before he tore away at the creature with his teeth. It felt so good that he decided a few more woodland creatures could sooth his appetite. A price would be paid for his misdeeds and it was apparent to him that this may very well be it.
Sesshoumaru held tight to the young woman in his arms. Her long black hair dripped and was soaking his shirt but it was of no matter to him. He was only glad to see the recognition in her eyes. She removed herself from him and walked toward the window. Her room had not changed one bit. Everything was the same to her. She looked at her hands and felt her throat. She did not understand what was happening. She was supposed to be dead. She died and it was fresh in her mind. She could still taste the death on her tongue.
"What have you done, Sesshoumaru?" she was crying and it killed him.
"I kept you alive." he spoke the words slowly. Sesshoumaru knew she would need time to get used to it.
"I died. This is not my world!" she yelled angrily pulling down the curtain that blocked the view of a modern city. Rin stared in awe at the scene.
"This is your world as it is mine. Can't you see? I am here. Your mate." he grabbed her hand.
"Stop!" she pulled her arm away from him as if he were disgusting.
"What have you done to me? I can feel evil all over this body trapping me here. I am a prisoner." she started sobbing and recoiled to a corner. Sesshoumaru watched her painfully.
"I needed to keep you! Do you not understand my love for you!" he was angry, how could she react this way to him. He was not like Kouga. He was not a monster.
"Why! What have you done to me?" she screamed it over and over until she was a pitiful heap on the floor. He watched in agony as she sobbed.
"I promised it would be you and I forever." he tried to console her.
"Did you not also say, that you would love me in another body! I did not think you would have to protect me from yourself! You promised me!" she was too angry to handle her emotions.
"I could not love her! She loved a monster!" he grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes.
"Then it is a pattern that seems to follow me." she pulled away from him again and turn her back to her mate. Sesshoumaru wanted to grab her and throw her down on the bed. It had been so long since he smelled her rose and vanilla scent, mellow and sweet. He grabbed her and threw her as gently as his anger permitted against the wall. He hoped that his kiss would bring her to her senses. As his lips crashed to hers he could feel her tears and her body heave with absolute contempt.
My warning was given. Please Heed It.
