Rin felt warmth surrounding her even as a breeze rippled through her silky hair. She opened her eyes to see the sun peek through the clouds. She smiled to herself as she saw Sesshoumaru's barely noticeable footprint. After so many years she started to notice small things like that, like the scent that belongs to him and him alone. The faint mixture of the forest, rain, and powerful youkai male that made up his essence filtered through the air. Rin followed the scent to find that potent male body at a nearby pond. He was on his knees, cupping water in his hands and then slowly bringing it to his already damp lips. His sharp ears caught the movement of her body behind him. He acted like he didn't sense her. She barely noticed. Her eyes traveled over the contours of the muscles of his sweaty bare back. She watched his strong arms bring his palms back to the water.
In a trance over his body, she walked to the shore and sat close to him. She licked her lips as he continued to drink from the cool crystal water. A lone droplet clung to his full bottom lip. He turned slowly to meet her brown eyes with his golden gaze.
"I've been waiting for you.." He whispered softly as he leaned forward and claimed her mouth with his. The water that had remained on his lip, slipped into her mouth as she gasped. His mouth was firm but gentle, coaxing a response, other than pure shock. Her body grew chilled and she savored the tingles that ran through her spine. Her eyes drifted shut as he gently ran his hands over her arms.
He pulled back just as quickly, his fingers clamping suddenly onto her shoulders. "Rin, it's time to wake up!" He shook her lightly to emphasize the words.
Rin's eyes shot open to reveal a very real Sesshoumaru. He smiled gently and his voice took on a teasing tone. "That must have been quite a dream. You didn't want to wake up."
Her head snapped down to hide the dark red color that had seeped through her skin and stained her cheeks. Twirling her hair gently around her index finger she choked out a laugh and responded, "It was. It was an.. amazingly wonderful dream.Uh.. Um.. Are we ready to go?"
Sesshoumaru shook his head in disbelief and arched his eyebrow when Rin busied herself by picking up items and shoving them into her little brown satchel. He sat down and crossed his legs comfortably in order to watch her better. He watched her hands shake as she picked up her food. Resting his slim wrists upon his knees he thought to himself, 'Look at her.. She's blushing.. I wonder what she dreamed about..' He tilted his head as Rin completely stopped moving. She had picked up a piece of clothing. It was his top. Her fingers were gently massaging the material and her eyes seemed to trace the red designs.
Sesshoumaru, who was extremely curious by this behavior, suddenly asked, "Rin? What was your dream about?"
Rin gasped, dropped the cloth and whirled to face him. The color that had drained from her face rushed back as she tried to divert her eyes.
"My, aren't we jumpy this morning?" He grinned, flashing his fangs. Something about her wide eyes made him want to continue teasing her. "So? What was this wonderful dream that has you so flustered?"
Rin shook her head and kneeled down to retrieve the piece of clothing, her eyes still staring at Sesshoumaru. "Nothing really, M'lord."
Slowly uncrossing his legs, the demon lord got up and made his way towards her. His movements were calm and sophisticated. He took his top from her trembling fingertips and put it on, securing the sash around his waist before putting his hand under her chin and bringing her close. His mouth was a breath away from hers and she trembled again. Her eyes remained glued to his. His nose brushed softly against hers and his eyes flashed at her.
"I thought we were beyond that title Rin. Aren't we close enough for names?"
Her voice caught in her throat. Breathing was so hard but she stuttered, "I.. I'm.. sorry.. Sesshoumaru.."
He smiled and brushed his lips softly over her cheek, barely grazing her mouth. He then kissed her forehead and whispered, "Don't be sorry, just don't let it happen again." He pulled back suddenly, his voice going from soft to strict quickly. "Now, lets pack so we can find my brother." He turned and left Rin blushing and very much confused.
