Guilt Trip - Chapter 8c
He awoke the next morning a bit groggy, his nude body covered by a blanket he had procured when he had finally tired Rin out to the point she could barely keep her eyes open. It was a feat he was obscenely proud of. He reached an arm out to find the spot she had slept in vacated a realization that did not sit well with his inner beast. He carefully shifted, his golden eyes taking in the room. His nostrils flared ever so slightly as he untangled himself from the blanket and followed her scent down the hall.
He came to a stop at the slightly cracked bathroom door as her panic flooded into his senses. This was not how he wanted this morning to begin, another rut, and breakfast that was the path he wished to tread. Not a panicked lover in the wee hours of the morning. "Rin…" He called to the naked teen as she spun on her heel to face him.
Her eyes seemed almost waterlogged and he was to her in an instant. She had been trying to calm herself down, to not cry. Guilt began to build up in his gut as he caressed her face. His lips brushed against her forehead, perhaps he had been wrong, and perhaps he should have waited even longer.
Rin's chocolate colored locks hung over her shoulder and she trembled at the secret they covered. "Please don't be upset…" Rin muttered. It was a statement that completely caught Sesshomaru off guard.
His eyes questioned her and she gently pulled her hair back to reveal her neck, her no longer bare neck. The seemingly irritated bite mark was red on the inside but the shape of a purple crescent moon was forming around it slowly. He instinctual pulled her into his chest and placed his lips to his mark. A shockwave flew through both of their bodies.
A contented purr escaped his chest and he could feel her melting into his arms. He had marked her. He vaguely remembered it but the stream of consciousness between himself and his inner demon was a complicated one. But he regretted nothing, because this was bound to happen. He just didn't think it would happen so soon. A part of him knew Rin was his the first time he laid eyes on her, standing alongside her aunt at the Shichi-Go-San festival so many years before, though at the time he didn't understand it.
Sesshomaru carefully pulled himself away from her and looked into her eyes. "Why would I be upset?" He asked pushing the urge to have her again out of his mind. She was his mate and she was distressed. It was his duty to calm her.
Rin opened her mouth and closed it again before looking away. "I thought… your mother…" The girl paused as confusion glossed over her face.
Sesshomaru frowned, yes; his mother was an obstacle that he had forgotten for a moment. It was a mistake that could be deadly. Inukimi was not a foe that Sesshomaru wished to take on and he definitely would never leave Rin anywhere near the woman.
"We'll figure something out…" He muttered before giving her a soft kiss.
"I'm sorry… I've never wanted to cause you…" Rin started before Sesshomaru interrupted her with another kiss.
"I've always known what I wanted… I was just waiting on you…" Sesshomaru muttered.
Rin smiled up at him sweetly before taking in his nude form. Heat immediately rose to her cheeks before she innocently looked away. Sesshomaru held back a chuckle as she found her voice and spoke. "I think the charm can hide this if need be… until we figure something out… because if Inuyasha or Kagome find out, everyone we know will know within a few hours…"
Sesshomaru nodded in agreement before Rin's stomach growled loudly. Rin immediately put her hand over her stomach before grinning sheepishly. She reached towards the sink to grab her charm but Sesshomaru quickly pulled her hand away from it. He brought her fingers up to his lips and kissed them softly.
"Don't put it back on yet… We'll eat first…" He said softly once again caressing her face. She looked so beautiful he mused.
"Okay, let me put on some pjs and…"
"Not necessary… We still have a few hours before the others can make their way back, and all I would do is take them off again." Sesshomaru replied with a shrug as he and Rin made their way towards the kitchen. The young girl paused as a dark smirk engulfed Sesshomaru's face. "You're mine, shall you blush every time I remind you of it?"
"No…" Rin said adamantly. "Besides I can't, Inuyasha already thinks something is up… And I guess pretty soon he will know it…"
"Then I suppose you should practice." Sesshomaru replied before using his demonic speed to get up right behind her. He carefully brushed her hair from her neck before whispering in her ear exactly what he planned to do to her when she was done eating breakfast.
The young teen held back a shudder as Sesshomaru ran his fingers down her hips pausing for a minute when he found the mound of dark curls that held his breakfast. Rin took a deep breath before mustering up the most casual of looks. She turned to him before asking playfully. "Would you like hash browns or a coffee with that sir?" And he knew at that moment that they would be fine.
