Exactly how any mate of Lord Sesshomaru should look.
Rin ignored the self-imposed taunt. What Rin was focused on at the moment was who was she and what business did she have with Sesshomaru? At the thought of her lord, she turned her attention to him.
"I didn't mean to intrude." Rin said quickly.
Sesshomaru just looked at her but didn't say anything.
"So this is the rumored human." the female said looking Rin over.
She was going to say more but Sesshomaru gave her one of his don't even think about it looks. She glanced from Rin to Sesshomaru then back to Rin and smiled.
"Since you're here, fetch me something to drink."
"Don't you have hands to get it yourself?"
Rin stiffened.
I said that out loud didn't I?
A quick glance at Sesshomaru's face told her that she had. It was still expressionless but Rin had studied him long enough to notice even the slightest change in his beautiful face.
"Forgive me my Lord. What is my punishment?"
Rin dropped down on her knees. She didn't want to embarrass him in front of any demons by being disrespectful. Sesshomaru glanced at Rin questioningly. Punishment? Other than a few verbal warnings he had never punished her. What had gotten into her today? More importantly, he wondered suddenly, why did she reek of Inuyasha? Usually Rin had a faint scent of him because of Kagome but today his scent was strong. What had Inuyasha done to Rin? If that dirty half-breed laid a hand on his Rin....
Your Rin, a voice asked mockingly.
Yes, she is mine. My property. Just like this chair, my palace, Jaken, the Western Lands.
So you'd be just as furious at Inuyasha if he touched that chair...or Jaken?
Before he could answer himself, Lady Mariah's small laugh cut into his thoughts.
"What a spirited human. I love them that way. It makes it that much more fun to break them." she said with a grin. "Can I have her?"
Over my dead body, Rin thought. Or even better, yours. Sesshomaru ignored the question. His attention was focused on the sudden spike of anger coming from Rin. Apparently Lady Mariah felt it too because she smirked.
"Rin get Lady Mariah some water." he said.
Lady Mariah is her name, Rin thought. Mariah. Funny, it rhymes with pariah. It suddenly dawned on Rin what Sesshomaru had said so she swung around to face him. The scent of her anger got even stronger. Rin didn't want to get Lady Mariah anything but she couldn't say no to her lord.
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama. I'll get Lady Mariah some water."
With a little something extra.
Sesshomaru got suspicious when the scent of Rin's anger nearly disappeared. She was up to something. Rin was smart enough to know that she couldn't hurt a demon. So what could she do to Lady Mariah?
Didn't you catch her reading a book about poisons last week?
Would Rin really poison her, he wondered. Normally he'd say no but after her weird behavior today, he couldn't be sure.
"Plain water Rin." he said.
From the slight widening of her eyes, he knew that she understood what he meant. Sesshomaru didn't need Lady Mariah smelling poison in her water. If she did, she would undoubtedly attack Rin and then he would be forced to kill her. Rin plastered a smile on her face and went to the kitchen. Once inside, her smile instantly dropped. How had Sesshomaru known what she had planned? Rin didn't want to feel this jealousy but she couldn't help it. Rin hated the very sight of Lady Mariah. She was perfect. Perfect face, perfect body, perfect for Lord Sesshomaru. Lady Mariah was a demon and that meant she had a better chance of getting Sesshomaru than Rin did. Rin sighed.
Why am I even trying to fight a losing battle?
Because you love Sesshomaru. You've never given up so easily. Are you going to start now?
No. Sesshomaru is mine.
Rin went back in the room and handed the glass to Lady Mariah.
"May I be excused now?" Rin asked.
"Yes."
After another quick look at Sesshomaru, Rin left. Sesshomaru watched her leave and suddenly knew what was wrong with her. She was jealous of Lady Mariah. Although he had no idea why. Lady Mariah already had a mate that she was happy with. In fact, she was there on his behalf. But Rin doesn't know that, he said to himself. If he were anyone else, Sesshomaru would have groaned. Every now and then he was reminded that Rin was a human when she fell victim to their stupid emotions. The minute Lady Mariah left, Sesshomaru went in search of Rin. He needed to question her about her behavior towards Lady Mariah. And more importantly, why she smelled of Inuyasha.
Instead of going to her room, Rin went to the hot springs. Maybe it would relax her frustrated nerves. She quickly stripped off her clothes and got in. She sat on some stones in the water. Maybe she was fooling herself. With as many obstacles separating her and Sesshomaru how was she going to make him love her? Perhaps Kagome was right when she warned her that she couldn't make someone love her. A small smile graced Rin's face. She certainly had a newfound respect for Kagome. Suffering from not knowing how Sesshomaru felt for her was a fairly recent thing for Rin but Kagome had gone through it for years with Inuyasha.
But in the end she got Inuyasha.
So if I get Sesshomaru will all the pain I'm feeling be worth it?
Of course!
And if I don't get him, what then?
Rin shook her head slightly. It was comical how yesterday she was so sure of herself and her plan and today she was questioning everything. Enough of this for right now, she suddenly thought. I need to relax for a little while and then I'll regroup. She pushed herself off the stones and swam around. The aimless swimming actually begun relaxing Rin. After taking a deep breath, she let herself sink down in the water. A minute or so later, she surfaced. She went to push her dripping hair out of her face and froze. Sesshomaru was coming. Rin couldn't hear or smell him but she knew that he was. Everything seemed to get quiet when he was around. It was almost like because he moved silently, everything surrounding him had to be silent also. She needed to get dressed before he got there. Rin quickly tried to get out of the water but it was too late. Sesshomaru appeared just as she reached the waters edge. Probably for the first time in his long life, Sesshomaru froze. Rin was emerging from the water. Completely naked. Rin also froze. Her mind was screaming at her to cover up but her body wouldn't react. She knew she should feel some shame at standing before Sesshomaru naked but she didn't. In fact, she quite liked it. And there was a small chance that he did too because he didn't make a move to look away. Sesshomaru's rational mind told him to look away and instruct her to cover herself but didn't. Rin looked like a goddess. A goddess who with a few quick steps could be in his arms.
What's stopping you, a voice asked in his head.
Sesshomaru took a step towards her. The wind suddenly changed directions and Sesshomaru paused. His delicate nose was hit with a new scent. A scent that explained his reactions to her. Rin was in heat.
