Just to be With You

By BurntAlive (Myrna Claire)

- Chapter Seven -- Hearts Beat as One-

-- Last Time in Just to be With You --

Rin flopped face down on her futon. What was wrong with her? She should be happy that Sesshoumaru kissed her, right? She was crazy about him. She loves him. Wait, love? What is love? She didn't have a clue anymore. She was so confused. As she closed her eyes she heard foot steps and then heavy knocks on her door. "Milady! Milady! RIN!!"

She could hear one of the maids and Tenkuu on the other side of the door. Whipping her eyes quickly she ran to the door and opened it. The maid bowed lowly and Tenkuu had tear lines down her cheeks. "It is Lord Sesshoumaru-sama!"

Rin's eyes went big. What had happened?!

-- Now to Continue --

"What is wrong?" Rin had a frown on her beautiful face. She had a gut feeling the moment she heard footsteps that something bad had happened. "What is wrong with Sesshoumaru!?" The maid that was bowed on the floor quickly got up and ran to the left, seemingly she had heard her name called.

Tenkuu pulled Rin into a big hug. "He had gone mad! Simply mad!" She was crying in fear and Rin just patted her back. Pulling away from the girl Rin left her hands on her shoulders. "Take me to him!" She smiled to encourage her frightened friend. Nodding her head slowly Tenkuu grabbed Rin's left wrist and began running to the right.

They were heading for Sesshoumaru's bed chambers. This was the first thing that went threw her mad as she struggled to keep from floating into the air from the speed she was being dragged at. They came to an abrupt stop at the entrance door. When Rin's hand went quaveringly to open it claws ripped threw the wood. Making both the girls jump and scream.

Rin watched as poison dripped down the door making it wither and disenagrate. She put a hand over her mouth in horror. Tenkuu turned to her mistress and said, "Rin, we must go! He is to dangerous to go near right now!" Rin stared blankly at her and then at the door.

Must Go!

Dangerous.

Right Now!

The frantic words were wasted on Rin's ears. Looking back over at the door her eyes narrowed. "Don't worry, Tenkuu." Turning back to her lady in waiting she smiled. "I'll be fine. He can't hurt me." Giving her a quick hug she opened the destroyed door and closed it behind her. As she closed the door Faia came up beside her sister.

Tenkuu looked about ready to cry. "What is wrong my sister?" Tenkuu hugged onto her older sister by a mer minute and a half. Wrapping her arms around her sister Faia had a confused look on her face. "Rin went in there! With the lord!" Faia looked down at her sister, wide eyed. She had heard from some of the older maid in the castle that the lord was going into a short of bloodlust.

The kind that came only when a demon was on its' last ounce of strength. The two sisters sat outside the door. Scared for their new mistress. Scared for their friend!

-- In Sesshoumaru's Room --

Rin turned around and placed her back on the broken door. She looked forward at the bent over lord on the floor. His face was shadowed by his long sliver hair. She could hear his raged breathing. She clutched the kimono fabric near her heart. "Sessh-SESSHOUMARU!" With her yell the demon lord looked up from the floor.

His eyes were crimson and his breast plate armor was shattered on the ground, with large ripped pieces of his haori were on the ground with his blood. His chest on the left side was covered in blood. Rin had to put a hand over her nose and mouth to keep from vomiting. She took one step closer to him. Her eyes were glazing over.

The demon howled at her and crawled forward on his hands and knees, low to the wooden floor ready to pounce and kill. Blood dripped from the open wounds, that he had made himself. His fangs were much larger then normal and the crescent moon on his forehead seemed darker. The purplish blue strips were jagged as well.

Rin still took one step forward. She whispered, "Sesshoumaru-sama..." Her voice was full of saddens. Sesshoumaru jerked back and laid on the ground his right hand going to his wound so close to were his heart would be. Rin staggered forward a mer foot from her beloved Sesshoumaru. His claws ripped at the already bloodied wound. His left hand then began helping ripping at the thin lair that was left before the heart was exposed.

Falling to her knees Rin gently took his hand from their work. She then scooted closer to his side. He whimpered like a lost puppy and opened his eyes with effort. The glazed over golden suns made Rin start to cry. "Sesshoumaru!" He winced slightly as his heart beat sped. She, careful of his wound, leaned over him and laid on top of him. She brushed the hair from his face. The blood on his chest was seeping threw and was covering the kimono fabric where her own heart beat in panic.

"Am I going to lose you to? Talk to me..." She whispered into his pointed ear. It twitched when her breath hit it. She wrapped her arms around she neck. "Please don't go!" New tears slid down her face and dropped to his shoulder where she had buried her head.

In a rough voice Sesshoumaru said, "Rin....." She looked up at his face, a tint of hope in her eyes. "R-rin...d-do.......y.....you....love me?" The question was painful for him to get out in his state of being. Rin sat up and up a hand to the side of his face. Tears still rolled down her cheeks. "I love you Sesshoumaru-sama!" The demon lord smiled. Not a smirk and not a smile he used before he killed someone. A real smile.

He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, then stopped breathing.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rin grabbed onto his body. She shook her head back and forth. She rocked with him, still crying. She kept saying no over and over again. She was like this for a couple of minutes before a bright red light came up from Sesshoumaru's body. She stared wide eyed at him.

Her eyes were a raw red. The demon lord's eyes opened slowly. "...Rin?" He lifted a weak hand to the side of her face. "why...do y-you....cry?" She could hardly keep her excitement down at his voice. She quickly kissed him on the cheek. She blushed as she said, "You are alive!

His left eyebrow disappeared into his silver bangs. "O-of course..." She hugged him again. Sesshoumaru's heart sped, was it a dream that she had said she loved him. He was confused as to what had happened. "Do scare me like that ever again!" She said firmly. In response he wrapped a arm around her waist. "What d...did I do-o?" She whipped her puffy eyes.

"You died! You came back....it was

weird." He closed his eyes. The power of the soul mates was becoming stronger. When Rin had rejected his kiss, she had rejected him. This made the process of his heart breaking in his chest come into action. He didn't understand how he could have possibly come back. "It'll take mo-rre then that to kil-lll me." He winced again he could feel his organs rebuilding and his heart coming back together.

She got to her knees and then stood up. She saw two pairs of wide eyes watching her and Sesshoumaru from the hole in the wood. Faia and Tenkuu had given into their curiosity when they heard the screaming and crying. They were going to run into the room when the lord had passed on but their demon instances told them not to.

Rin giggled light heartedly, saying to come and help her sit him up. With team work they had moved him to his bed and he was laying under the crimson silk feeling restless. He wanted to get up and bathe but Rin told him not to move. She could be scary when being serious. The sister demon's left afterwards. Rin sat next to his futon, her butt on the floor.

Sesshoumaru stared at her. He was afraid to go to sleep, to just kind out the next morning that it would have been a dream. She put her hand into his own larger one and smiled at his slightly pained face. He was in pain now. She put her depressing fillings aside and lent him some of her strength.

"....Sesshoumaru." His eyes darted straight at her. He was wanting to ask her again. She started to babble on about something unimportant. She did this when she was nervous. He interrupted her mid sentence.

"Tell me, do you love me?"
