Loving you
"I want her, NOW!" Kai bellowed throughout the camp.
The western lands had won, every hostage rescued with no casualties. Kai was furious, stomping around throwing anything he could get his hands on. He grabbed one particular soldier by the collar and jerked him forward. "I want her back in this camp by tomorrow morning or I will personally remove your heart!"
"My lord, might it be better if we went after their friends, like say, his brother's family I have news that the priestess is with child..." the soldier said.
"No...I want her and her alone."
"Give it up cousin! You had your chance with that girl, but you blew it, and now you are jealous of the love she has for Sesshomaru, that could have been yours!" the soldier screamed in his face. "Your father would not have wanted you to act this way!"
Kai pushed his cousin away. "Bring her back." with that he stormed away to his chambers leaving the rest of the men to stare after him. Once inside he sat against the wall and covered his eye's with his hands, tears welled up and he let them spill over, not making a sound.
"Kai! Look what I found!"
Rin came running around a rose bush with her hands cupped against her chest. She dropped to her knees in front of him and held out her palms. A green shaped marble attached to a gold chain. "Here, it's the same color as your eyes, you can have it."
"Thank you" he said quietly closing it gently in his palm.
He reached upward and pulled a flower from the Sakura tree he was leaning against and gently put it behind her ear. She giggled and kissed him on the cheek...
Kai made a small sobbing sound, his tears soaking the front of his haori.
" ow...it hurts really bad" Rin said whimpering. "I know precious , I think a nice bath will make it feel better" Kai said inspecting her ankle. She had twisted it tripping over a rock in her garden. Kai picked her up from her bed and walked to the baths, handing her over to a woman servant as soon as he got there.
He choked on more sobs.
"Ok, ready?" Kai said.
"For what?" Rin asked wondering why he was grabbing her waist.
"This!" he cried, picking her up and spinning in circles, her laughter etching itself into his memory.
He clawed deep gauges in the stone floor.
"Kai can I sleep with you?"
Kai woke up to see a very scared and tearful Rin standing in his bedroom doorway.
"Yes, but what's wrong precious?" he said sympathetically, getting out of bed and walking towards her.
"I had a nightmare and Sesshomaru is patrolling right now so..."
He took her in his arms and cradled her close while she slept.
"She came to me..." he whispered. "Sought my arms when he wasn't around...I was jealous of her love for him, but I would never have laid my hands on her if..."
"I can't find my tools, so instead do you want to go and look for pictures in the clouds?" Kai asked Rin extending his hand towards her.
She looked at him curiously, knowing something was up, but put her hand in his anyway.
He led her into the garden and sent her ahead to find the perfect spot to watch. While she walked away she heard the latch to the garden gate lock. She whipped around, staring Kai in the face.
"W-why did you l-lock the door?" Rin stammered.
"Rin do you love me?..." Kai asked, ignoring her question and walking in slow languid steps toward her.
"Y-yes..." she said backing away not liking the look in his eyes.
He slipped off his haori and let it fall to the ground. "Come here..." he said. Still advancing slowly upon her.
"Kai what's wrong with your eyes? Why are you looking at me like that!" The young girl panicked.
"You're so beautiful..." he said.
Jumping forward he seized her and threw her to the ground quickly pinning her with his body. When she tried to scream he covered her mouth with his, and managed to get his hakama loose, and pin her hands above her head. Even with her kicking he managed to spread her legs with his. After a few minutes, of struggling her whole body went slack, she laid there, and let him take the one thing that proved she was pure. It hurt, but what hurt even more was the person who could have only asked, had forced her into giving up, the one gift she had been saving for him anyway. That was when she thought Sesshomaru could only look at her as a daughter.
"Why didn't you show it to me before! Before you made me hurt her!" Kai screamed into the tiny stone space. "She could've been mine...if only I..." he whispered, he sobbed in misery for hours after that.
Meanwhile...
"I can't believe it!" Sesshomaru fumed, pacing angrily around his and Rin's bedroom. "If only they had signed that treaty then they would be in such a predicament with the mainland!"
Rin giggled from the bedside , seeing Sesshomaru lose his cool was one of her favorite things about him, especially when it was over a petty treaty. She hopped down from the bed and ran toward him catching him around the middle in a loving embrace. "Don't get angry, you can't fix everything..."
"I fixed your heart..." he said
"Yes, but my heart didn't have to sign a treaty."
He smiled inwardly at her and without warning picked her up and held her in the air. "What do you want to do today?"
"Me?" she asked shocked.
He nodded with a slight smile on his lips, and hugged her tightly. "Anything you want..."
"...can we read a book?" she said. "Together?..."
He had been expecting something more grand, but decided that having her in his lap with a smile on her face, was better than any other task she could have thought of, except for one other perhaps...
They made their way to the library, him listening to her jabber about flowers and whatnot. Once inside he locked the door. "What do you want to read?" he asked.
She skimmed the shelves with her eyes. "That one! The blue one." she said pointing to one that was just out of her reach. He reached upward with ease and grabbed it for her. He looked at the cover, Magic Pendents and Legendary Jewels. It was a western style book translated into Japanese. He sighed, this was going to be a long day.
He sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace allowing her to curl up in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked over her shoulder as she opened the book. She flipped through the pages quietly until she came upon the Shikon no Tama. "Look Sesshomaruit's the Shikon no Tama..."
He nodded quietly, reaching forward to turn the page. "And there is the necklace I gave you..."
"Im sorry it was destroyed..." she said.
"Nonsense, I'd rather have you than some necklace!" he said squeezing her a bit.
She closed the book and turned in his embrace, curled into a little ball, and nestled her face into his chest. "Im gonna die before you aren't I..."she said more than asked.
Sesshomaru felt a cold lump in his stomach, he refused to answer her, he believed if he didn't say it aloud, it would stay a myth, that it wouldn't happen, but deep down he knew, knew that she was going die one day. He just would have to make sure she wasn't alone this time.
"Lord Miroku, look!"
Sango was kneeling in front of Miroku, as he polished his staff. He looked up at her to find her pointing at a large butterfly that had situated itself on her nose. Her arm was now in a sling, making it difficult for her to do simple tasks. He looked at her sadly, for some reason she had reverted to a childlike state after her capture, referring to him as 'Lord Miroku' and playing like any other child.
Inuyasha came across the lawn holding Iryzoi on his shoulders. "Hey Miroku! Everyone is collecting in the main hall for and important meeting." he called across to him.
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute!" Miroku called back. "Come on Sango we have to go back to the big castle."
"I'm sleepy..." she said yawning.
He laughed "ok I'll put you to bed when we get there."
Meanwhile...
"Where is Sesshomaru?" Inutaisho asked a servant.
"I saw him go into the library with Lady Rin." he answered curtly and bowed.
Inutaisho reached the library and found that the door was locked. He knocked on the door softly.
"Son you are needed in the main hall..." he whispered, knowing that Sesshomaru could hear him.
Inside Sesshomaru looked down at Rin's sleeping form. With ease he stood and lifted her. He pushed the door of the library open and met Miroku coming up the hall in the same fashion with Sango sleeping soundly in his arms. Inuyasha and Kagome were following not for behind.
"What is this? a party?" Inuyasha said. Looking at his brother and then his best friend.
"Im putting Sango to bed" Miroku said.
Sesshomaru nodded to show that he was doing the same. Inuyasha then scooped Kagome in his arms. "There now we all have our women, could we dump them in a bedroom and get to the meeting now!"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded. "I don't want to go to bed!"
"Well it isn't my fault you're pregnant!" he said without thinking. "You need rest!"
"Excuse me, Inuyasha! The last time I checked it took two people to spawn little versions of you!"
Later...
"Attention!" Inutaisho's voice bellowed throughout the hall. "We may have had one victory, but their army is still advancing, and growing. You have one week leave, take this time to spend with your families...and if you don't have a family, make one! Bring back any person willing to fight! No one will be thought as a coward if they do not return..."
The hall of soldiers erupted into a loud murmur of conversation, along with their foot falls as they made their way towards the front entrance.
Inutaisho looked at Sesshomaru next to him. "I saw the nursrey..." he waited a few seconds. "Are you going to..."
Sesshomaru nodded, "she would cherish it...just like mother..."
"I miss her..." Inutaisho said. "I wish I could just see her or Iyazoi just once more...I don't even know how I am here, my body died long ago, yet I can eat, sleep, and breathe like a normal living thing. I thought my soul would finally go to the other side when the Moonstone was destroyed, but...it seems fate has visited my doorstep again...keeping me from those I love..."
"It will be finished..." Sesshomaru said looking out over the main hall, surveying several servants. "Let it be known that no one is to come near my quarters, unless it is absolutely necessary."
He turned and strode away leaving Inutaisho smiling in his wake.
Rin was sleeping soundly, when he arrived at the bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep. Looking up at the nursery he nearly gasped in surprise, his mother was standing in the doorway holding an infant, and just as quickly as she had appeared she disappeared. He left the bed and proceeded to walk to the nursery door. He opened it and found that it was empty and just as burnt as it had been since he had found Rin there unconscious. Walking in a bit further he realized that a set of foot prints lay in the blackness of the once white marble floor. He recognized them as Rin's, but a second set caught his eye that was neither his nor his fathers. As he moved forward he stepped on something and looked down. The remnants of baby blankets lay at his feet, charred and ruined. One clawed hand reached down to pick them up but, no sooner did his fingers grace it, when a large and bright light erupted in the middle of the room. The blackness of the floor peeled away in a cloud of dust, various things such as glass lamps, and furniture pulled themselves together and returned to their original state, large showers of sparkling glass shot from the floor and formed the windows again, the curtains once destroyed fell in long, red velvet rolls from the ceiling to the floor. The normal white of the walls, bled slowly upward through the blackness, as if it were eating it away. The blankets in his hand made a slight whipping movement and fell limp and restored in his fingers. Candles and lamps burst into flaming light. All but the crib lay magnificently restored as he looked around the room expressionless, but astonished. He heard a noise and whipped around to find his mother standing in the doorway again this time without and infant.
"Hello my son..."her voice seemed to echo around him.
He just stared at her, not moving a muscle.
She came toward him and reached for his other hand, but it passed straight through and tears came to her eyes. "Oh how I wish I could hold you one more time...I love you so much...Rin loves you very much..."
"Why are you here?" Sesshomaru asked.
"To show you the one thing Rin has always wanted more than anything else..." she said walking around the other side of the charred crib. "Here...take a look..." She pointed into the crib, with a slight smile on her face.
Sesshomaru walked up to the crib and looked in to find a baby boy sucking on his toes, and giggling amused. "I know she wants a child..." he said.
"Not exactly dear...a family...I see that she is afraid that once a child is born you will seclude yourself in order save face for having a hanyou as an heir..."
"Why didn't she tell me?"
"She knows how you feel about Inuyasha, and she was afraid to ask in fear that you would refuse any idea of having a child with her..." she said.
His mother reached into the crib and picked up the baby. "Make your choice..." she slowly faded away. Sesshomaru looked around, the room stayed repaired save the crib.
"Sesshomaru?" came Rin's voice from the doorway. She walked inside and gasped "what happened to this place!...Sesshomaru?..."
He was so deep in thought none of his senses had picked up her presence. She walked forward and grabbed his sleeve, startled he wrenched it away from her and raised his hand for a back handed strike.
She flinched in fear and brought her arms in front of her face. He stepped backward when he realized what he was about to do. "I am sorry"he breathed. "I did not hear you come in..."
She lowered her arms slowly, and looked up at him. She swallowed hard, and stepped toward him. "You saw her too didn't you?"
"My mother..." he said.
She nodded and placed her hand on what was left of the railing of the crib. She looked down inside and let a tear fall down her cheek. Sesshomaru walked up behind her and placed his hand over hers. "Yes..." he said.
The crib made a loud creaking noise and pulled itself together, returning to its original condition, but before she could gape in awe Sesshomaru lifted her in to his arms and headed back into their bedroom, the baby blankets falling to the floor.
He dropped her unceremoniously on the bed, and stripped of his haori, letting it fall to the floor. She backed away from him, fear written plainly across her face. He reached forward slowly, and gently grasped her wrist, pulling her forward to kiss it. He knelt on the bed and wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her against himself, and putting his forehead upon hers. He brush her lips softly with his, and pulled away playfully when she went for the kiss. When he did this again she whined pathetically. Satisfied he gave her just what she asked for and kissed her deeply, running his hand up her thigh, tracing the raised scars with his thumb. He broke the kiss and paid special attention to the mark on her neck, kissing and nipping at it, at just the right moments. Grasping the laces of the dress Kagome gave her, he pulled the bow loose, and pulled them entirely out of the dress. He threw them over his shoulder, and began to slip the straps from her shoulders.
She suddenly covered herself and lowered her head in shame. He lifted her chin with one clawed finger. "You are beautiful..."
He grasped the skirt of her dress and slowly lifted it over her head, revealing her scarred body.
She made to cover herself again, but he stopped her by grabbing her wrists. She refused to make eye contact, and bowed her head again.
"The lady of the western lands bows her head to no one..." he whispered cupping her face in his hands and turning it upwards. "Not even me..."
She stared at him a few moments before, timidly reaching forward and grasping the purple and yellow tie to his hakama. She looked up at him to find his eyes intently and softly positioned on her face. He rubbed her cheeks gently with his thumbs. "It is your choice..." he said softly. "I will not hurt you, I promise..."
The silk of the sash rustled as she slowly pulled the bow free. He kissed her again as he pulled the rest of his clothes off, and pulled her and himself beneath the blankets. She closed her eye's tightly, as he positioned himself above her. He slowly advanced within her, making her shiver slightly.
"Am I hurting you?" he asked.
Tears fell from the corners of her closed eyes. "No, Im just afraid..."
"Look at me." he commanded softly.
She did, and at that moment he rocked his hips into hers. She gasped, which earned her another thrust. He leaned forward and kissed her, now moving his hips faster and with more abandon. She moaned against his lips, and subconsciously wrapped her legs around him. The rest of the world was but a memory now, as they held each other.
She began to cry out his name, and dig her nails into his shoulders, but this wasn't enough for him.
"What's my name Rin?" he panted close to her ear.
"Sesshomaru!" she cried out.
"What!" he said, grinding his hips into hers.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" she corrected herself.
He hadn't expected this, but oddly enough it was extremely appealing to hear. He made her formally cry his name once more before whispering in her ear. "I love you..."
He went rigid and pulled himself against her, as she gasped loudly for the last time, letting him collapse on top of her. Exhausted he moved beside her and pulled her close. They fell asleep in each others embrace, forever bound to each other.
The next few days passed like a whirlwind, when Rin started to show unmistakable signs of being pregnant. On the third day, she ran into the library, where Sesshomaru and Jaken were in a discussion about the present war. As she burst through the door, Jaken opened his mouth to complain. Sesshomaru knocked him off of the edge of the desk on which he was sitting. "Yes Rin, what is it?"
She ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. "It's a girl! Inuyasha said I'm pregnant!"
Sesshomaru had already known this, but preferred not to spoil her surprise.
"Not another girl!"Jaken exclaimed.
Rin giggled, while Sesshomaru just looked at him with one eyebrow raised.
