Chapter 14:
Morning had come as a breeze in the wind for Sesshomaru. He only received little sleep, his demon was still tense, never taking his attention off of Rin.
Mating would make the bond incredibly strong for about a week before the beast would calm and return to its normal protective and strong self.
Sesshomaru gazed at the view around them, nothing but trees and grass. The only thing he heard within a mile radius was chirping of birds, fluttering wings, and the toad demon off in the distance, well away from them.
There was no danger here.
Sesshomaru looked down at Rin. He began to consider settling here. Investigate the forestry lands, make it their own.
"Why do we move so much?" Rin had asked.
"Because that is what a lone demon does." Sesshomaru replied.
Sesshomaru was no longer a lone demon, he had a mate, and soon, a family, a clan of his own. He was ready to take charge of this territory, no longer would he run, like he had been doing for years. For Rin being his mate, he would stand and fight those who dare come close.
His gaze returned down at Rin.
He wasn't going to go anywhere until Rin awoke.
He pulled her closer, having every part of her securely pressed against him. He found sleep once again.
Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken all left the safety of the snow den Rin had made.
With no howling wind, Sesshomaru could now hear for his demon.
A demonic howl sounded just a few miles up the mountain.
They were close.
When they had finally found the soul sapper, it had taken the shape of Sesshomaru's demon.
"Rin, do you ever wonder why he saved your life? He felt sorry for you, but did you know, he always thought it was a mistake?"
Sesshomaru could not see in the black nothingness. He could only hear and see a faint cloud glow in the darkness.
"Very well. I will do what you cannot." Sessshomaru said without his control, "Sesshomaru has spared you all these years. Now. I am going to take you, and by Sesshomaru's own hands!"
Then, it was dark, Sesshomaru could feel nothing.
The soul sapper was using him! And he could not gain control! He would slash blindly around the darkness, but then he heard a voice.
"S-Sesshomaru... I-I don't want to hurt you."
Sesshomaru turned to the direction Rin's voice sounded.
It was still dark to see, but he simply followed the sound of her voice.
He was running in endless darkness. Then, he began to see a light, barely visible.
"S-sesshomaru... T-this isn't you..." Rin's voice cried out.
Sesshomaru's body bristled, and he ran faster to that light.
He saw that it was that clouded vision, Rin was buried in snow, her features showed absolute fear.
"P-please..." She whimered, a tear falling down her face.
Sesshomaru heard the soul sapper snap, preparing to finish her off.
"No!" Sesshomaru growled out, and leapt with all the adrenaline he had pumped in, lunging straight for that could.
He ended up crashing into the cloud, and he was forced back. The cloud was like a gate, a gate between his real self, and the soul sapper.
His attack had worked though.
Rin was so close to his view, he could almost touch her.
The gate began to pulse, struggling to stay solid.
Sesshomaru growled, all muscles tesing, this ends now!
He lunged, with all his might.
He broke the gate, then suddenly, he could control his demon self. He was looking down at Rin's tear stained face.
"S-sesshomaru?" Rin whimpered.
'No! No no no! I. Control. You!' The soul sapper shouted in his head, and he began to feel himself be drawn back to that cage.
No!
Sesshomaru leapt away from Rin, this time fighting against the soul sapper's control.
Rin was his mate! She should never fear him!
He glanced over at his other half, who laid bleeding, but still trying to get to Rin.
With one final pulse, he was able to separate from the soul sapper, and run to his other half, immediately healing the wounds, and felt so. Much. Anger towards the soul sapper, he forgot Rin was even there for a moment.
Sesshomaru's eyes opened once again.
It looked like late afternoon.
His beast had fought more fiercly than he had ever done. It was his demon that fell for Rin the first time he saw her. When she had found him all those years ago. Then when he found her, eaten by wolves.
Sesshomaru's demon never acted upon its feelings, until she was older.
All those years, he watched over her, promising he would never let anything happen to her.
Rin stirred against him, then slowly, opened her eyes.
For a moment, she lay there, seeming to forget what happened for a few seconds.
She slowly looked up at him, her eyes still showing drowsiness.
Rin began to remember all that happened last night, how they both let their emotions flow freely.
"Are you ok, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked.
Rin's eyes seemed to brighten as she slowly smiled and nodded.
She felt a very warm hand running down her side, making her shiver, she could never get enough. She wound a hand into his hair, never feeling so... Devoted to him.
"I'm so glad you're back to normal." Rin whispered.
She kissed him, taking in his familiar scent, her body never wishing to leave his.
Sesshomaru would not let her go, her emotions flowing through him freely.
Once hand buried in her hair, the other roaming the smoothness of her body.
She let him, her body fully relaxed, and for him to take.
Rin let out a muffled gasp as his hand wrapped around her thigh, pulling it up and perfectly curled against his waist.
She could feel him below, and her grip tightened into his hair.
A low growl was released as Rin pressed closer against him, all ready for him to take.
HIs beast was taking charge this time, not showing any resistance.
He once again pinned her down by his own massive body.
His lips left hers, before making a path down to her neck, where a light red mark remained, the mark that shone like a beacon for any other demon for a mile long radius, or further.
He gently kissed that mark, Sesshomaru barely having enough control to prevent his beast from marking her again.
During mating, demons found pleasure nipping the other, leaving their other half's covered in marks.
Sesshomaru knew that Rin did not have enough strength to heal such marks.
Sesshomaru's lips found hers again as he repeatedly thrust against her.
Her rising moans told him she was close.
He would be sure to match his release with hers.
"Sesshomaru. I... Love... you." Rin whispered against his lips, feeling nothing but pure pleasure and security.
Sesshomaru's lips brushed against her ear, "I love you too, Rin."
When he felt her release, he knew his was not too far behind, and once again had to hold in the urge to bite her again.
Rin felt him tremble against her, and she brought his face back to hers, kissing him gently.
He kissed her back, never rejecting her of this touch.
When he finally pulled away, he stared down at Rin, finding her more beautiful every time he saw her.
They lay together for a while, soaking in the sunlight that was trying to peek through the trees, shining down on them.
