IMMORTALITY

Chapter 6

The Change

Rin woke up , feeling extremely tired and aching all over her body . She sat up on her futon and winced when she felt the soreness between her legs . Last night , her Lord Sesshoumaru had brought her back to her chamber to mate with her again and again .

She felt heat on her cheeks as she recalled last night's events .

Sesshoumaru had been gentle at first but he was quite rough the second time . He had even woke her up several times during the night to mate with her . Rin touched her tender part , her lord even kissed her there . She remembered being shy , but after she felt how good it was , she did not protest any more . She took up the wool blanket and inhaled . It was covered with her lord's scent and she smiled .

" Lady Rin , it is Ryoko . Lord Sesshoumaru asks you to join him for breakfast ."

" Thank you . Please tell him I will be there in a moment ."

Rin heard footsteps and knew Ryoko was gone . After she stretched her body , Rin stood up and went behind a paper wall to wash up in a tube of warm water . No doubt , the water was prepared by Ryoko when she was still sleeping . She also noticed a small bottle of flower oil which her lord bought for her in the trading post was placed on the floor beside her towel and kimono . After the short bath , Rin took the bottle and sprayed

a little of the oil on her chest and neck before putting on her pink kimono .

IN THE DINING CHAMBER

Sesshoumaru waited patiently for Rin to join him . He had been informed that Rin had woke up and was preparing herself . His golden eyes stared into space as he recalled the passion they had shared last night . She had been modest but curious at the same time . She also never complain being tired when he woke her up during the night to make love to her . She had been so eager to receive his loving . She looked like a goddess with her brown hair spread out on the pillow and he could not wait to make love to her again .

" My lord , the meat has been washed and cooked ."

His thought was disturbed by Jaken's annoying voice . He stared coldly at the toad demon and motioned him to prepare the meat for Rin with a wave of his hand . Jaken bowed his head before he went back to the kitchen . The meat . The Moon Mermaid's meat he found two days ago was ready to be consumed by Rin . After she ate the meat , she would become an immortal like himself . Then , she would live forever by his side .

Sesshoumaru's nose detected a flower scent and knew she was here . He looked up and found her looking beautiful as always . She had tied her long hair into a braid down her back , she had even put on the flower oil he purchased for her in the trading post . He stood up from the cushion he was sitting and walked towards her .

" Good morning , my lord ."

Rin greeted her Lord Sesshoumaru with a smile and was rewarded with a light kiss on her lips . She felt the heat once again crept onto her cheeks and shyly lowered her head . She was not use to this Sesshoumaru . Her lord had never show such affection in front of the servants before . She followed her lord as he guided her towards the table . She sat down on the soft cushion beside her lord and waited for the servants to serve the food .

" Are you still in pain , Rin ?"

" The pain ? No , my lord . There is no pain , just a little sore between ……"

Rin blushed prettily when she recalled the events once again . She did not know what had come over her , but she seemed to blush a lot these days when she was thinking of her lord . She sneaked a glance at her lord and found him smiling at her . The heat on her cheeks increased even more and she turned to look at the other side . Then she heard a chuckle from her lord . He is chuckling , how rare……he must be in a very good mood……

" Rin , you don't have to feel shy about anything ."

" Rin……Rin is not shy…..Rin is just…..just……."

" You don't like what we did last night ?"

" No ! Rin likes it …..I mean…..Rin enjoys what Lord Sesshoumaru did…"

Sesshoumaru smiled when he saw her flushed face . He was glad when she said she enjoyed their love making before he intended to teach her even more in the future .

He looked at the servants preparing the food on the table , and Jaken holding a special dish in his hands . He signaled Jaken to place the dish down in front of Rin .

Rin watched as the servants place the food on the table . The food all looked so delicious to her . Then she stared at the small dish which Jaken placed in front of her . The dish looked like chicken meat but also fish .

" Jaken , what is this ?"

" That is a very rare fish . You better finish it all because Lord Sesshoumaru caught it specially for you ."

" Truly ? Then , thank you , my lord . Rin will finish all of it ."

Sesshoumaru watched as Rin picked up the meat with her chopstick and placed it into her mouth . He did not tell her about the meat that would grand her immortality for fear she would reject it . He also did not know what would happen once she consumed the meat . He hoped everything would be find .

Rin savored the meat in her mouth . The meat did not taste like fish , but it was tender and delicious . She asked her lord if he wanted some , but he just shook his head and said it was for her . She picked up more to place into her mouth , until the dish was finished .

" The fish is truly delicious . Thank you , Lord Sesshoumaru ."

" Ahh …. How do feel right now , Rin ?"

" Huh ? I feel…….full…"

Rin watched in confusion when her lord seemed to be worrying about something . When she was about to stand up , a strong pain hit her heart , making her tumbled to the floor . She gasped when she felt she could not breath . Her vision was becoming blur and she could not move . She opened her mouth to speak , but she could not . All she could feel was the throbbing pain in her heart .

" RIN !"

Sesshoumaru's golden eyes widened when Rin fell to the floor . Ignoring Jaken and the servants' cries , he quickly moved to her side and picked her up in his arms . Her body was as cold as a dead corps , her eyes were blank and her heart beats was beating very slow . Her hands were gripping the front of her chest as if her heart was in pain . Her heart……What is going on ……what is happening to my Rin ……

" Jaken ! Find the healer now ! NOW !" he roared .

Jaken almost jumped from his lord's anger . He quickly went out to the stable and mounted the double head dragon , Ah-Un . As if knowing what was happening , Ah-Un soared up into the sky with a dash and headed to the nearby village . It will be most scary if anything happen to Rin……Lord Sesshoumaru will definitely kill me……

AFTER A FEW MOMENT IN RIN'S CHAMBER

Sesshoumaru stared at the sleeping Rin . He almost lost control when she collapsed on the floor . When the healer , an old priestess arrived , he had to drag her to the chamber to check on Rin because she was moving too slow . She only had to look at Rin and knew what went wrong . He remembered what she said .

" You let her consumed the Moon Mermaid , isn't ?"

" Yes , how do you know , human ?"

" Well , this human has to say this young lady is lucky to be still alive . Yes , weak , but still alive ….."

"………..Explain to me what you know ."

" She is your woman , right ? So you are trying to make her into an immortal by letting her eat the meat . It is true that mermaid's meat can provide immortality , but it can also be a deathly poison to the person who consumes it ."

"……..Rin is not going die….."

" She is not dying , just adjusting to her new life . Consider herself lucky to be able to escape the fate of poison to dead ."

Sesshoumaru held onto her pale hand , kissing her knuckles softly . He had almost lost today . Although he had Tenseiga , the healing sword , he was still in doubt . Rin had been dead once when she was young , and was given a second life to live . He knew about second chance , but never a third chance . He would never risk her life and of losing her forever .

He caressed her pale cheek . Her skin was becoming warm to his touch , and he was relieved to see some color returned to her face . He did not see any changes on her even though she had consumed the meat . She was still the same Rin he knew . Beautiful and innocent . He watched as her eyes fluttered open .

" Rin ………"

Rin's mind was dizzy . The pain she felt before was no longer there . She turned her head slightly to look at her lord . He was holding her hand , although his face did not show anything , his golden eyes had betrayed his feeling .He was worried . Smiling faintly , Rin caressed his face with her free hand to assure that she was fine . She gasped when her lord suddenly pulled her into his arms . His even ran his fingers along her hair , caressing her . Rin felt his warmth and sighed , burrowing her face into the white fur on his shoulder .

" What had happen to Rin , my lord ?"

" You fainted ……"

" Rin never faint before……is Rin sick ?"

Sesshoumaru caressed her cheek , deciding to tell her everything . He placed Rin down onto her futon and bared her right arm . Using his one of his claws , he cut her . He flinched when Rin cried out in pain .

Rin stared at her bleeding arm . She did not know why her lord would hurt her . She tried to jerk her arm away from his grasp but could not . She turned her teary eyes to her lord to ask him to let her go , but her lord wasn't looking at her face . He was looking at her bleeding arm as if something had grew onto it . Following her lord's gaze , she found herself looking back at her bloody arm . Strangely , she did not feel pain any more . She flinched again when her Lord Sesshoumaru rubbed her blood away from her arm . But still , there was no pain . She gasped when she saw there were no injury on her arm at all .

" Lord Sesshoumaru …..why……why is Rin not hurt ?"

Sesshoumaru looked at the fast healed skin . Her body had transformed into a body similar to the demon's one . Any injuries would heal itself . It also mean she would not die unless she was beheaded . He looked at Rin who had finally become an immortal , and swore to kill anyone who attempt to hurt her . They will taste my claws before they even reach her……

A/N : WooHoo ! Chapter Six is finally done . It took me sooooooo long to finish it because I was having texts in these past few days . In this chap , Rin has finally become an immortal . She will have the power to heal herself and will not aged anymore . She will not die unless some one cut her head off . But that was impossible because Sesshoumaru is there to protect her . So hope you enjoy this chapter and till next time .

I try to write an action/adventure fiction but failed at it , so I just have to make this story shorter and there are only a few more chapters to go . I also find that lots of people ask me about the stuff I mentioned in donno what chapter , " Sesshoumaru and Rin will not live happily ever after " , or should I say , " They might not live happily ever after " . I say that because everything have its price , Rin has gained a new life and so she has to sacrifice something , guess what ? And no , Sesshoumaru will not die , i'm not that cruel to kill him .
