Lady Satsuki sat across from the girl taking hold over her hands again,
"Now Lady Rin it will be some what of a shock to hear this, but," the old
women looked across the room at Jaken, "Will you excuse us?" she asked.
He nodded and left even though he was dying to hear what would save his master. [That old woman had better know how to save Lord Sesshoumaru.]
She smiled at the young girl as the door closed, "Well Lady Rin your mate,"
"Rin please call me Rin, and I am not the lord's mate so..." She said as she pulled away from the old woman's hands.
"Rin, if I may be so bold to ask, do you have feelings for the demon lord?"
The girl shyly bowed her head to hide behind her auburn hair, "I am just a human..." [Just a human who is in love with a demon lord.] She thought.
Lady Satsuki lifted Rin's head, "Humans need to be loved, just as demons do," her wrinkles deepened as she smiled, "He needs your love Rin. Lord Sesshoumaru loves you, but you must show him that he is wanted, that a cold hearted beast such as him can be loved."
Worried tears formed in Rin's brown orbs, "He touches me as if I was always his, but his heart could be feeling differently. Lady Satsuki, you say that he loves me, but has he confided in you? Do you truly know that he has not turned against humans again?" she wiped her fallen tears away, "What if he doesn't love me?" A cry escaped her lips.
"Oh child, I only tell you this because I can feel it, you must be the one to find out. I am only the messenger."
"I don't know if I can do that." Rin stood wanting to leave; she could not take the wise woman's words. "I don't know if I can open my heart to Lord Sesshoumaru so straightforwardly." [What am I saying I was just about to confess my heart to him?] Rin inwardly sighed to herself.
"If you have any feelings for him besides those of concern for his safety, go to Lord Sesshoumaru and let him know because if not Rin, I hate to tell you this, but he will die. His heart is freezing from the loss of your warmth. Lord Sesshoumaru needs you, Rin." Lady Satsuki stood and took hold of the girl's shoulders, "Tell him, tell him that you love him, save him."
She pulled away, "Excuse me, Lady Satsuki." and went up stairs, but not to him. She could not just go running into his arms like before. It was too rushed.
Rin walked up and down the hallway, [I never should have kissed him and now he will ask me about what I had to say. How can I tell him that I am in love with him and then show him my feelings? Lady Satsuki must not remember how it is to be a young girl.] Rin sat down on the floor in defeat, [How am I to show him I that I want him.] She became three shades darker thinking of how to answer that question. However, one question still loomed in the young girl's mind, [Does he feel the same or am I just a human, being used?] Rin thought remembering their kiss.
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Hours later... (A/N: Sesshoumaru is dying yet again from the loss of touching Rin.)
"Lord Sesshoumaru," Rin opened the door to see him still in the same position. "Lord Sesshoumaru, I came to help you with your bath."
"Get out," he voice was icy. "I don't need one."
"But my Lord I told you that I would help you." She picked up his arm and placed it around her tiny shoulders, "Just let me help you."
He hissed as she pulled him up right, "I told you that I didn't need a bath and I don't need your assistants, human."
The word human rang in Rin's ears. [I must show him. He really doesn't think this... I hope.] She shook her head trying to get out the horrible thought and turned her attention back to the demon lord.
"Just let me help you." She spoke with a smile. [Lady Satsuki said that I would have to show him my love to save him, but how can I when he snaps at me?] Rin thought.
Sesshoumaru pulled away from her trying to walk on his own and thankfully was caught in Rin's arms as he almost fell to the ground. The ill lord steadied himself by holding onto her waist, Rin started to pull back, but Sesshoumaru held her to him then let go.
They walked into the washroom, "Now undress as I make sure the water is hot enough."
The demon lord struggled out of his kimono, but managed to undress completely, "Now what am I to do?" he asked impassively.
Rin turned to see a fully nude Sesshoumaru standing gracefully, his white mane glowed in the moon light coming from the high window behind him.
"Well Sesshoumaru," he took note of her pale skin growing to a light pink, "the water is warm enough you should get in."
"Yes I know that, but how am I to do that with you standing over there?"
"Oh forgive me," Rin walked over and took hold of his naked shoulder and put her hand about his waist. She eased him into the bath, "Will you close your eyes as I change?" she asked walking over to another robe on a bench.
"Why do you need to change?"
"I do not wish to ruin this kimono."
"But it already has tears in it, why do you care?" Rin had forgotten about the rips in her gown. Not caring about him looking, she turned around, Rin changed her black spoiled kimono, for a short, white, cotton, one to wash Sesshoumaru.
As she modestly did this, the Lord of the Western Lands studied her as if she were a piece of artwork made just for him. The curve of her hips, her lean stomach, the around fullness of her breast, her swan like neck, her ivory skin, her, Rin was made just for him. He knew that he loved her, not just her body, but his heart burned to think of her like that without touching her lustrous skin.
His heart beat fast, then faster when she turned letting him see her face glowing from the steam. Rin had such an innocent beauty; she was made for him and only him to gaze upon. "Who ruined your kimono?" he choked out in a husky voice, the look of her had gone straight to his head.
"You," She picked up the soap and began to lather her hands. She moved around him, "Sit up," Rin lightly pushed her muscular back forward. Moving his silky hair to the side, Rin rubbed his back, working over his shoulder blazes and down his spine. She admired his form as the muscles worked under his off white skin showing that he was nothing, but muscle.
"Thank you for helping me, Rin." he began to lightly growl at her actions, "And please forgive me for my coarse words earlier."
"You're Welcome." She moved to the front to work on his chest.
His eyes studied her as she scrubbed his shoulders and tight chest, "Do you forgive me?" She moved over his abdominal muscles, "Rin," he said, half-gasping and moaning, half questioning.
Rin looked up, "Lean back so I can rinse the soap."
He did as she asked.
Grabbing a bottle of wonderful smelling vanilla, [So this is why Sesshoumaru always smelled like vanilla.] She thought as she sat behind him on a stool to wash his ribbons of silky white hair. His growl turned into a purr as she massaged his scalp, "Sit up, so I can rinse your hair, now." Again, he did as she asked and watched as she gathered water to clean him; back and forth, her hand came next to Sesshoumaru getting water.
Suddenly Rin's wrist was grasped between Lord Sesshoumaru's clawed fingers, "Rin," he pulled her around to the side of the tub. He pulled her in with a loud slash, "Do you forgive me?"
She moved her thick long hair away from her face, "What, for yelling at me or for pulling me into the bath."
Sesshoumaru helped her clear her beautiful face of her soaked locks, "For yelling at you." He thumbed her cheek.
"I'll forgive you if you will let me finish." Rin started to lift herself out of the tub, but was pushed back down and wrapped in strong arms.
Sesshoumaru brought her back close to his chest "Rin, I will only let you finish," he kissed her neck, "if you will let me," he licked the junction between her shoulder and neck, "make love to you, Rin."
"Sesshoumaru, I don't know if I can..." she licked her dry lips, as her mind became clouded.
The demon lord turned the girl to face him, "I would not ask this of you if I did not feel for you."
Rin bit her bottom lip, thinking of what to do and if she could do it. [Can I believe him or will he turn on me again.]
He forced her eyes to meet his, "Love me Rin." He moved his mouth close to hers.
Without thinking, without wanting to wonder why not, Rin captured Sesshoumaru's lips. Rin felt his hands cup her face, pulling her to his body, but she stopped before it could go any further. "I can't, I'm sorry."
"What are you saying?"
She was thankful that she was wet so he could not see her tears, "Can you really love a human?"
"A human or you?"
"Answer me." She pled not wanting him to change her thoughts.
"I love you and you are a human, Rin. So yes I can love a human."
She sighed considering his response, but was rudely disrupted as she was pulled out of the bath. Rin clung to Sesshoumaru feeling the air freeze her body.
Setting the girl down, the demon lord, grabbed a towel wrapped it around Rin and rubbed the soft fabric along her body. Sesshoumaru was forced to stop in his motions, as Rin started to untie her damaged kimono.
Sesshoumaru watched the soaked robe fall to the floor. He looked up from the garment seeing Rin. Her face showed nothing, but wanting. The youkai took the towel and placed it on her shoulders letting her take the edges to wrap herself. Although Rin thought better and let the towel drop, exposing her body and her heart to him.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't know." Rin stood on her tiptoes and pulled Sesshoumaru into a bruising kiss.
