-- Last Time in Just to be With You --
His eyes were completely red and his face markings had gotten larger. He was torn between making her his mate and a real woman and ripping her apart limb by limb. Then, when she had shivered from when his lick on her neck he pushed her to the ground making it easy for her to get a good look at his face. She yelped and tried to push him away. This made him want her more.
Rin was freaking out. She didn't know what she was going to do. What was wrong with her Sesshoumaru? Wait her Sesshoumaru she had just met him! Also why wasn't she afraid for herself? Why was she was afraid for...him?
-- Now to Continue --
She couldn't hold in her tears. The wet moisture had built in her eyes long enough. They screamed to be let loose. They twinkled at the corners of her eyes before falling down her face. She let go of a whimpering cry. "Sesshoumaru!" Her shoulders shook, she wasn't about to get raped. Not again! Not by him, him of all people. Not if she felt something for him. Even if it was a very little something.
The demons red lustful eyes widened at the females action. He let out a doggish whine before nuzzling her neck, licking her ear with concern. Rin kept shaking even at the gentle act. His bare chest rubbed against the wet towel covering her breast barely from his eyes, as he wrapped her in his arms. In a gruff voice he said, "Rin?" She smiled.
A laugh came from her along with the sad tears. The demon lord quickly got from on top of her. His red eyes back to the honey gold. His eyes were wide with shock. Even if he was over 1000 years old, that was still young for a demon. He had the body of a 23 year old but the mind of a 19 year old. He was backing away from the still shaken up girl on the floor.
She straightened out her towel before getting up on shaking knees and then to feet. She didn't know what to do as a awkward silence filled the bath room. She stared at her toes blushing. She had both hands on her chest, keeping the towel in place. Not standing the silence anymore Sesshoumaru bowed slightly to the next to naked human. "I'm sorry." With that he began to leave. Turning and walking out the door.
Rin bit her lip hard before shouting, "Sesshoumaru-sama!" He turned to her frowning face. She scuffed her toe on the wood floor. "Um, If it is not much to ask of you-" She broke off to look to her right a blazing blush going down her neck she continued. "C-can I eat lunch with you?" It all seemed so weird. The happenings just kept getting odder and odder. She nodded slightly and walked to the door that connected to the rest of the castle. "As you wish."
As she slid the screen door shut she ran to her bed and fell face first in it. Her mind was screaming at her. Telling her to run out of the castle this very moment. She somehow thought that she wasn't in any trouble though. It was all coming and going so fast. This was her third day here? Maybe her second. She sighed into her futon.
A light knock on her door made her lift up her head. Who is that? "Milady? It is Faia!" A cheery voice came from the other side of the door. Rubbing her eyes and fixing her towel she said, "Come in!" The young demon came in a smile on her face. "I am here to get you dressed for your lunch with the lord!" She was bright and cheery and not afraid anymore. "So milady what kimono would you care to wear today?"
Rin smiled at her new lady in waiting. "Please, Faia you may call me Rin." The demons smile got larger. "Okay...Rin." She felt important getting to call the soon to be lady of the western lands by her first and real name. "What color do you wish to be in this fine afternoon?" Rin thought about it and then said with a smile, "Maybe a red...or pink?"
Faia clapped her hands together and let out a squeal of delight. "I know just the one!" Leaping over to the closet with haste she rummaged threw the many kimonos. About a few minutes later she pulled out the most beautiful kimono Rin had ever seen. Her eyes widened at the red and pink fabrics.
((I'm going to try and type this in a non confusing way....))
The Nagajugan, undergarment, was a pearl white. Faia took they towel and slipped the nagajugan on Rin's shoulders. Rin could barely keep her excitement in. She had never worn a Uchikake kimono before. ((Uchikake is a formal kimono, Rin was poor so she couldn't have one!)) Faia then went back to the closet and pulled out all the Michiyuki, overcoats. One was a light baby pink, magenta, and faded red. The pink was put on first. The magenta was put on-top of the pink covering it up completely. The last was the magenta which covered the red mostly, but left a inch of the faded red showing.
Faia smoothed out the four lairs before going to get more of the kimono. Rin could tell it was going to take a while to get the Uchikake on. Faia shouted out it her while she was collecting the final lair of the kimono, "You are going to love this Rin! I made this myself you know!" Rin giggled. "You have very good taste Faia-chan!" The fire demon came out with a flowing kimono. Rin put a hand over her mouth. "It is beautiful, Faia!" She hugged the demon almost sending them to the floor. They both laughed as they gained their balance.
The main color was red and pink. Just like she had asked for. The top was a dark pink and it then slowly blended into a red and then the red blended into a dark red. It took her breath away. The sleeves would touch the ground on her. The bottom of the kimono would fan out at her feet. Faia put on the final lair and pulled one side of it over to close the Kimono. "Hold it in place while I get the obi." She smiled and went off to the closet.
She came back with four different parts of the obi. She put them over her shoulder and held out a silk that was tye-dyed red and pink. Faia explained that to keep the kimono closed she would need all four lairs of Obis. The first she put on was the Koshi-Himo Sash.
The date-jime was the second belt tied around the kimono covering the koshi-himo belt, it was a deep solid red.
The obi-jimi is braided cord tied on top of the obi. Because the obi-jime is visible, it was a pale pink color and accented the red of the date-jime.
The final obi belt was the Butterfly obi. Faia rapped the stripped red and pink obi around Rin and tied the belt in the back into a bow. It looked like a cho cho, butterfly. It all looked wonderful together. The result of all the pieces together on Rin was the picture of perfect.
"I'll get your sandals for you, Rin!" The demon dove right back into the closet and fished out a pair of Vinyl Zori Sandals. The heel was made of dark wood that had a thin lair of wax on it. The straps were a bright red and made from velvet. Rin slipped them on and they felt wonderful on her feet. She smiled at her new friend and bowed. "How do I look?" Faia clapped and jumped up and down. "You look more beautiful then you normally do!"
Rin giggled and stifled it in her long sleeve. "You did a very nice job Faia! I love this!" She twirled around in her new kimono. Stopped she bent her head down. "Do you think Sesshoumaru will like it?" Faia had a sly smile on her face and said, "I think he will LOVE it!" She put a comforting hand on Rin's shoulder. "Don't worry!" They both smiled and walked to the sliding down. Opening it they were met with a sweating Jakken.
The toad demon bowed to the two and then in his squawking voice said, "Lunch is ready!" Nodding their heads the two thanked him and Faia lead Rin to the dinning room. It was huge! The wooden floor made small 'nuck' sounds when her sandals hit it. It wasn't very loud, not annoyingly quiet though. She walked slowly so not to trip on her flowing kimono bottom.
Sesshoumaru looked up from a scroll he was reading when she entered the room. He had to hold back a smile that was threatening to escape. Faia had outdone herself on the design of this kimono. He stood and bowed to her before sitting back down at the low table. Rin walked and sat at his left side and bowed. Sitting with her legs folded under herself she said her prayer to kami. Looking over at Sesshoumaru she waited for him to take his first bite.
"Thank you for letting me have dinner with you Milord." She smiled at him. He nodded his head and picked up a small piece of meat with his chop sticks and ate it. Rin followed him and ate some of the steamed carrots on her plate. Lunch was quiet but the tension from earlier was gone. They now just ate in easy silence just enjoying the others presence.
