Fukai Mori
A plan for revenge calls for the kidnapping of Rin. Nearly a year later Sesshoumaru finds her in the Deep Forest(Fukai Mori), a forest where young and impressionable minds are easily corrupted. His enemy's true plan revealed, Sesshoumaru must make a decision. Kill Rin or be killed.
Chapter 8 - A Gliimpse Into Her Past
"Oi...Sanjirou." Rin glanced at Sesshoumaru and deciding to take advantage of the situation, sent Sanjirou and warm smile. "It has been too long."
The bat youkai pulled Rin closer to him and brought her hand to his lips again. "I heard what that youkai," he titled his head in Sesshoumaru's direction. "And I must say, I am surprised at you for allowing him to live much less stay here. It isn't quite like you."
"Well you know how I loved to be entertained and he was doing such a very fine job up until now. I was just considering replacing him."
"Consider him replaced. I will not miss a second opportunity to make you my mate."
Sanjirou bent down and presses his lips against Rin's. She didn't hesitate to return the kiss, remembering past moments with the youkai. She wrapped her hands around his neck and leaned up slightly, pressing her upper body against his. He tangled his hands in her hair and traced her lips with his tongue, seeking entrance. She opened her mouth for him only to bite his tongue. In excitement of the sensation, he slid his hands down to grip her bottom and pulled her closer to him.
Sesshoumaru stepped forward, displeased with the youkai's roaming hands.
Sanjirou quickly broke the kiss as he sensed Sesshoumaru's movement. He moved and stood behind Rin, wrapped a hand around her waist. He leaned down and flicked his tongue across her neck, but kept his eyes locked with Sesshoumaru's. Both he and Rin sent him amused smiles.
"I think your youkai friend is jealous, Lady Rin. Or maybe he realizes he doesn't have a chance with you. Let me mark you now and prove his doubts."
When he would have bitten her, Rin grabbed his hair and pulled him back with a tug on his hair. "I have not given you permission to do so."
"Come now, Lady Rin, its not as if we haven't mated before. All that is left to make it official."
Sesshoumaru did all he could to control his anger as he stepped forward. "How amusing, Sanjirou. You consider yourself worthy enough to be her mate yet you were unable to even heat her blood with your pathetic excuse for a kiss. Lady Rin deserves better."
Sesshoumaru took Rin's hand and pulled her from the youkai's grasp, never taking his eyes from hers. She went to him willingly, stopping short when he placed his hand on the back of her neck. He tilted her head back slightly and used his freehand to brush his thumb over her lips, wiping away Sanjirou's scent. When he was satisfied, he framed her face with his hands and leaned down to brush his lips against hers.
Already her blood was tainted with excitement and lust, so he pressed his lips firmly against hers. Her lips were warm against his and felt like silk upon silk as they slid across his own. He tilted his head slightly to the left, changing the angle of the kiss. When she tried to move to deepen it, he held her in place, enjoying the slow torture of their kiss.
It was the first time the shared a kiss, but not the first time he touched her. He remembered all to well when she had slept naked in his arms, when his fingers had been inside her. Desire stirred deep within his belly and the blood rushed down to his loins. He titled his head to the other side and slid his tongue easily between her lips. When he heard her whimper and make another attempt to close the space between them, he slowly broke the kiss.
Sesshoumaru kept his hands on her face, his eyes locked with hers. "As you can tell, Sanjirou, it is you who does not stand a chance. Leave now while you still have your life."
Sanjirou stepped forward and withdrew his sword. "I will fight you for her. Shall we agree, Lady Rin? Whomever wins this battle wins your heart."
Rin said nothing for a moment, still stunned from the kiss. "Sanjirou..I.."
"Leave." Sesshoumaru flicked his right hand and with his whip he sliced off the arm that Sanjirou held his sword with. "Leave now before I kill you and tell those other filthy youkai to keep away from Rin."
When Sanjirou ran off in fear Rin stepped forward, her eyes narrowed in a glare. Sesshoumaru was already walking back to the estate as if nothing had happened. She quickly followed after him, wanting an explanation.
"How dare you! He won't last a day out there with all those heartless youkai!"
"I was hoping for that. But word will spread and your 'suitors' will stop coming."
"You have no right to do such a thing! I am not your mate therefore you have no right to say that I cannot receive suitors. I do not belong to you!"
Sesshoumaru rounded on Rin, anger apparent in his eyes for a change. She backed up in surprise and fear as he came closer to her. "I dare because you do belong to me. Use your brain Rin. There is no youkai alive that can arouse you the way I can. Why do you think that is?"
Rin stared up at him, her heart pounding with fear as she searched for an answer to his question. She wanted the answer, wanted answers to her own questions. From the first moment she laid eyes upon him something inside of her clicked. His presence made her feel happy and safe. And something in his golden eyes drew her to him. Why? Why?
"I don't know..." Her head began to vibrate with pain, causing tears to come to her eyes. "I don't know, Sesshoumaru-s-" She brought her hands to head and couldn't stop the flow of tears the overwhelming pain brought.
"Rin, daijobou?" Had she almost called him Sesshoumaru-sama?
"My head...it hurts so badly. I was trying to re-" She yelled out in pain as she collapsed to the ground.
"Just relax or it will hurt more. Calm yourself."
Sesshoumaru lifted Rin into his arms and carried Rin back to the estate, pleased that she was beginning to remeber her true past.
