No matter how much I love the Inuyasha series, as do us all, I have no ownership of anything Inuyasha.(sigh)
Okay, for those who don't like mushy scenes, you might as well skip this chapter. I'll try and make it seem like you didnt' miss much. For those who do like mushy scenes, hope you enjoy!
Chapter Ten
Inutaisho lets himself into the house three days later, the quiet of the house slightly disturbing him. It is almost near noon and the house is dead quiet.
As he strides through the house he catches the sound of voices upstairs and climbs the stairs two at a time.
Inuyasha and Shippo are leaning against the wall outside Rin's room, both looking solemn. When they see him the nod a greeting.
"Did something happen to Rin?" He asks quietly. Inuyasha nods.
"Her fever broke this morning. Brother and Kagome are in there right now." Inutaisho nods, leaning against the wall next to Shippo, content on waiting.
Inside Rin's room Kagome helps Rin sit up, the demoness trembling slightly.
"Are you sure you will be alright?" Kagome asks. Rin nods reassuringly.
"I'm feeling better all ready." She says quietly. Kagome nods, laying a hand agianst Rin's stomach.
"How's the child?" She asks quietly. Rin smiles a little wider, laying a hand atop Kagome's.
"He's fine." Kagome smiles, rising and passing Sesshoumaru on her way out the door.
Out in the hallway Kagome smiles reassuringly.
"She's going to be fine. She's looking better already. She's actually quite hungry." Inutaisho nods.
"That's a good sign. I'll help you make breakfast." Inuyasha glances at his pop once before clapping Shippo on the shoulder.
"Hey Shippo, I found a new video game i want to show you."
Sesshoumaru listens as the group outside the door leaves before turning to Rin. She is sitting on the edge of the bed, staring down at her toes.
"Rin?" Her ear twitches and she looks up. Her skin is looking rosier by the minute, her eyes clear as they focus on him. He smiles and she does as well. He crosses the room, joining her on the bed.
"I'm glad you're better, love." He whispers, running a hand down her back slowly. Beneath the cloth he can feel how thin she has gotten. She leans against him, her head fitting under his chin.
Rin perches atop the toilet seat, only her eyes moving as she watches Sesshoumaru adjust the shower water for her. Once satisfied with the temperature he turns to her.
"It is ready when ever you're ready to get in." She nods, rising slowly and using the wall for support. He watches, concern evident in his eyes.
"Can you wash on your own?" She hesitates, then turns to him. She leans against him, letting her full weight rest against the warm wall of his chest.
"Come in with me." She says quietly. He nods, quickly undressing himself before stepping under the water. She slowly lets her robe drop, moving as quickly as she can to step out of the cool air and into the shower. As he closes the shower curtain behind him the air, heated by the hot water, instantly encompasses them both.
They switch places, Sesshoumaru letting her lean against him as she relaxes beneath the water spray. Her back is to him, his arms resting lightly around her. He watches as she lifts her hands into the spray a moment, then she turns toward him.
The feel of thier bodies moving agianst one another under the hot water nearly undoes him but he clamps down firmly on his lust. She is too weak. He thinks fiercely to himself. Rin rests one hand against his upper arm as she leans back, wetting her hair under the spray. When he straightens again she looks up at him, concerned.
"What's wrong?" She asks. He sighs and then she notices. Doubt suddenly crosses her face and she goes to move away but he stops her.
"It's all right. Ignore it." He says gently. She hesitates.
"What about..." He smiles crookedly and just shakes his head.
"Don't worry about it." He insistes, instead using one hand to reach behind her for the shampoo.
Kagome slips into the room as quietly as she can, pausing when she sees it empty. Hearing the shower running she smiles slightly before setting the tray of food down on the small bedside table before heading for the bed.
After quickly stripping the bed and replacing the sheets and folding the blankets so they lay stacked at the foot of the bed Kagome gathers up the discarded sheets and leaves, quietly shutting the door behind her.
Sesshoumaru finishes working the shampoo through Rin's hair before sliding his hand up between her shoulders and leaning her back, supporting her. The swell of thier child rubs against his side and he smiles slightly. His free hand slips down Rin's side to rest against where their child lies within her and her hands pause in thier work of rinsing out her hair. She glances at him but he only smiles slightly, shaking his head.
Once done he quickly retrieves her robe, drapping it around her before allowing her to step out of the shower. Instantly the smell of food greets them and Rin's stomach growls so loud Sesshoumaru can hear it. He laughs as Rin blushes slighty.
After wrapping the robe firmly around her Rin leaves the bathroom with Sesshoumaru in tow. Sesshoumaru pauses outside the door, studying the bed as Rin nearly tackles the bedside table. She sits on the edge of the bed, pulling the tray into her lap and digging in. Sesshoumaru sits in the chair near the bed, lost in thought as his mate eats for the first time in a week.
After some time a plate half full of eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and toast is waved under his nose and he glances up at her. She is standing over him, smiling down at him.
"You need to eat too." He shakes his head, gently pushing the plate away.
"I've already eaten earlier." He lies. She knows he does and scowls at him, thrusting the plate at him again. He sighs, taking only the toast from the plate. Happy with the compromise she sits again.
"What are you thinking about?" He glances up at her again, mouth full of toast. Not wanting to sound like a fool with his mouth full he merely frowns at her questioningly. She giggles but takes the hint and waits for him to finish chewing.
"What we should name the child." He says quietly.
"How is it usually done?" Rin asks quietly.
"Back in my time, the father was the one who named the child." He says quietly, watching her reaction. Her face seems to fall slightly and her hands find thier way to her middle. "So i guess it is safe to say that you can name the child." This makes her frown.
"But i thought that..." He shushes her with a light kiss on the forehead.
"I did say that." He begins. "But we aren't exactly in my time, are we." She stares at him a second before suddenly smiling widely.
"I can name the child?" She asks. He nods.
"As long as you don't name it something odd." She chuckles and nods.
"I already have some ideas."
I know it's another short one and i'm sorry but i felt it was a good time to write this scene. If my chapters are too short overall, please feel free to let me know so i can correct that. Thank you all for your time!
