[I must make it to the castle. If not Sesshoumaru will, surely die of a
broken heart and poor Rin will have to live without the memories of her
mate.] Lady Satsuki thought, while practically choking in order to breathe
as she ran.
[If only Rin knew what to do if something happened to Lord Sesshoumaru. If only she knew that one simple, affectionate thing would help him just a little. That is the only thing that will save him. He must know that she is still bound to him in some way. Just a simple kiss would revive him for a few hours. A few hours, I need a few days. Just what I would need then I will be there to tell her if she wants the demon lord to live, she must mate with him, love him.] The old woman stopped in her tracks thinking of what would happen if she came too late. "His heart to go cold, so cold that it would stop and me knowing that only her touch can save him." She shook the thought away. "I mustn't think like that."
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Day Three..
Rin dried herself off and dressed in a black kimono and looked into the mirror. She had not slept for hours and it was beginning to show. The young girl rubbed her eyes, making them even redder. Rin could not remember when she wasn't crying. It seemed like forever since she last saw her face a normal color.
Stepping out into the dark bedroom, she saw the most beautiful youkai in all of the western lands. Rin walked over to the bed and grabbed the cold, clawed hand of the Great Demon Lord, Lord Sesshoumaru.
=*=*=*=*=*=*=Flash Back=*=*=*=*=*=*
"Sesshoumaru!" Rin rested her head on his muscular chest, "Stay with me. Please don't leave me alone." The broken girl's salt-water tears soaked his white kimono. "I don't want to be alone."
"Master Sesshouamru! Lady Rin!" a shrill voice came into the garden. "Oh Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you?"
Rin looked up the see the toad coming towards them, "Oh Jaken!" She wiped away her fresh tears.
"Oh my, Lady Rin what happened? Lord Sesshouaru are you alright?" the dumb little servant stared at the fallen demon lord.
"I think he is dying. I don't know what happened. We were talking then he said he was cold and then fell." Her word were choppy as she spoke.
"Why didn't you call for help?" Jaken felt for sighs of life, "Why didn't you, Rin? We could have saved him!"
Tears mercilessly fell down her cheeks, "He told me to stay. Sesshoumaru told me not to leave him," Rin look intently at the lifeless Sesshoumaru, "I promised him that I wouldn't leave his side." She laid in the lord's lap, "I am so sorry." Rin felt a great pain build in her chest.
=*=*=*=*=*=End of Flash Back=*=*=*=*=*
Rin climbed onto the bed next to Sesshoumaru, "Wake up, Sesshoumaru, please, please wake up," She gently nudged his cheek with a slender finger. Then moved his silvery bangs, [Oh Sesshoumaru why do you just lie there as if dead?] Rin wanted nothing more than to feel his lips though she knew that he was dying slowly. Gaining some courage Rin kissed his forehead.
Sesshoumaru stirred and mumbled something inaudible.
Rin turned away slipped off the cool sheets and went down stairs; missing his attempt to take hold her hand for comfort.
She walked into the demon lord's study where she spied Jaken, trying to reach a book high on the shelf.
"Jaken what are you doing in here?" she questioned sharply. Rin was beginning to hate the toad after what he said to her in the garden. He made her believe that Lord Sesshoumaru died and was she who caused it.
"I was looking for Lord Sesshoumaru's condition."
"What do you mean condition? You mean there are other cases like Sesshoumaru's?"
"Perhaps I don't know really I was hoping that Master Sessshoumaru might have something in here."
He pulled tighter on the book, which then caused all the books to fall on top of him.
"Let me help you Jaken." Rin bent down and picked up books with odd symbols and languages on them. "Are you sure that these books will help?"
"We can at least try, for Lord Sesshoumaru."
"Yes we can," Rin chose a thick book with leather bindings and wooden covers, "Let's get started."
They sat and read for two days not wanting to waste time. The duo would take shifts reading and watching to see if Lord Sesshoumaru had made any progress on his own.
On the second night, Rin was in their bedroom, "Oh Sesshoumaru I wish you could see this moon." It was way past the first quarter of the moon waxing into the full.
Rin stepped across the cold stone towards Sesshoumaru; some of the night's light fell on his face magnifying his features, which captured her adult thoughts.
Slowly Rin climbed into the bed trying not to disturb him even though he had not moved a muscle, from what she saw. (A/N: Rin kissed his forehead that helped him, but she has not touched him since then. So he is back to dying. Keep going sorry to slow you down.)
When she was completely under the covers, it felt colder under there then in the room. Sesshoumaru was causing it to be like that; he was becoming colder very day.
Rin shifted her way over to him, wanting to be able to comfort him. However, she kept her distances with her body, but tried to reach him with her words. "Sesshoumaru, you can't leave." Her hand hovered above his face, "At least not until we have said our goodbyes, even though goodbye is not enough. But if we can't save you and if you have to leave me; I won't let you leave without knowing how I have felt these last few days."
Sesshoumaru let out a deep sigh. Rin moved closer and propped herself on her elbow her other arm balancing on the other side. Leaning over him, Rin licked her dry lips. [This is horrible of me to do this to him, but.. but. I. love him.] Rin pressed her softened lips to his. Nothing happened at first just lips to lips, but then the girl felt Lord Sesshoumaru move his lips along hers.
Keeping her eyes closed, Rin took in the sensation and loved it. Suddenly she felt his body awaken and clawed hands raked down her back. Rin stopped her lips to hear her kimono being tore off her body.
"Sesshoumaru," she backed up to see golden eyes with flickers of scarlet staring into her. Rin's chocolate eyes widened, "Sesshoumaru," she whispered.
"You didn't leave me," he saw tears form in her eyes, "Rin," he thumbed her cheek wiping the fresh tears.
She hugged his torso and nuzzled his neck, "Of course I wouldn't leave you." Rin looked back into the fiery gaze. "Sesshoumaru, I need to tell you that I think that I'm" heat rushed to her cheeks, "I know that I'm."
"Lady Rin!" a yell came from outside the door.
"Lady Rin, someone is here to see you!"
The girl sighed inwardly, "Coming Jaken!" she started to pull away.
"Rin, wait," she turned to look at him; color was coming back to his pale face, "What were you going to say?" his voice was rough as if he need water.
"It's nothing important I'll tell you when I come back" she walked back over to him, "But I did want to say this before I left, when I come back you must bathe because I caution your health. You have been here for a couple of days and I'm sure you would like to change."
He grabbed her hand, "Thank you."
Rin bowed and walked out of the room.
"Now who is here Jaken?"
"My Lady there is an old woman claiming to have helped Master Sesshoumaru."
"What does she want from me?"
Suddenly a wise sounding voice broke out from the stairs, "Lady Rin, I am Lady Satsuki and I know how to save your Lord."
"Me?" fear started to grow in Rin. [What am I going to have to do?]
"Yes child," She walked over to Rin and held her hand, "If you will let me, I will tell you how to save your love."
She stumbled with her words, "My love?"
"Yes you must save the Lord of the Western Lands."
"What do I have to do?" Rin swallowed hard.
"Let us sit and I will tell you everything you need to know."

A/N: Ok I hope you all like where this is going, oh and yes if you didn't catch that there will be more lime/lemony goodness to come. ^.^ Thx, and Review!
