"Lord Sesshomaru today is my birthday…" Rin turned to Sesshomaru, as she skipped along his side.
Sesshomaru looked at her. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-four." She said, proudly.
"Happy Birthday Rin!" Jaken trotted along behind her.
"Thanks master Jaken."
"I have a gift for you." Sesshomaru said suddenly after the moment of silence.
Rin's eyes burst in shock. "Really! Oh Lord Sesshomaru!" she jumped happily in her spot.
"You won't be able to get it for a while later." He replied.
"Huh?" she asked, giving a puzzled look. "Seriously? You've never given me a birthday present before!"
"It's a location." Jaken said. "Lord Sesshomaru…you're giving her that?" Jaken said again.
"Not another word." Sesshomaru said.
"Oooohh. I love surprises!" Rin clapped to her self. Jaken gave a troubled look.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked suddenly. "When is your birthday?"
Lord Sesshomaru stopped walking. "I don't know." Then continued walking.
"How could you not know when your birthday is?" She asked.
"No one bothered to tell me, and it doesn't matter to me anyway. I'm over 700 years old after all."
"Wow…that's old. You look very young for your age my lord." Rin complimented.
"...And very handsome." Jaken said quietly to himself.
"Quite true." Rin agreed over hearing Jaken, as he went berserk in his spot.
"It's getting late. Why don't you sleep? We'll be there when you wake up." Sesshomaru told her.
Rin blinked, and then nodded. "Alright then." She turned to Ah-Un who was following behind Jaken. "Ah-Un, do you mind?" She smiled to them, and petted them around the mouth. Ah and Un made a bit of a groan, and so Rin happily jumped onto their back, got comfortable, and fell asleep.
"Mi lord…why are you giving her that?" Jaken rushed quickly to Sesshomaru's side.
"I have no use for it, and she is better suited for it." He replied coolly.
"Would your father allow it? He gave it to you…"
"Jaken, he is dead and…besides…I have not given Rin a gift before." He admitted.
"But my lord…out of the time you've known me, you've never given me a gift…" Jaken said smugly.
"I've given you the gift of life."
Jaken sighed. "You did to her too."
"Yes, but you've been more trouble."
Jaken felt stupid, and pathetic. He, a master of toads, was to be saved more then a pathetic little…sorry… a now grown up girl.
"I have also taught her well." He spoke again. Jaken looked up at him, and then looked back to the ground as they continued walking. "She is able to do things that she could not, or would not with out being around me…and being just a regular woman."
"I guess." Jaken said disappointed. It was the last things said until they got to the location of Rin's gift. It was dawn, and the sunlight was just grazing on Rin's eyes when she shuddered awake.
"Rin! Finally, you're up." Jaken said, in her face. Rin didn't say anything, got off of Ah-Un, and walked over to Sesshomaru, whose eyes were very large. It was rare for Sesshomaru's eyes to be the way they were.
"My lord? What's wrong?" She asked, as she walked up to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru didn't look at her, but instead to this castle-type place, that looked like it had been destroyed several times.
"MI LORD! THE PALACE IS DESTROYED!" Jaken screamed in fear.
Sesshomaru looked down to Rin, who was looking at the castle. "Is this what the gift was my lord?" She asked him, tilting her neck down sideways.
"Was." He emphasized.
"It's alright. What is this place anyway? It's a very nice location." She asked, looking around the area.
"This…is where I grew up." He told her.
Rin looked surprised. "Oh…really? And you were…going to give me this palace?"
"Yes, but I didn't know it was destroyed." He paused. "And I have no further use for it."
"That's alright my lord." She smiled slightly. "It's the thought that counts."
But, it wasn't all right. It was a night's worth of walking, and this is where he grew up. This is where he had his memories of his mother, who had a mysterious death.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. "Maybe if we could get InuY-"
"Fine." He spoke, and then swirled around without a second thought. He despised the fact that he had to always go to his younger brother for help…but once again, he needed it. Sesshomaru walked slightly and sniffed quietly in the air to get InuYasha's scent. "Let's go."
Rin skipped along, beside Sesshomaru, and Jaken held to the leash of Ah and Un. Sesshomaru then was led to a village of huts, and a very large one, of which he assumed was InuYasha's…seeing that's where the stench was coming from.
He walked closer to the large home, and was about to walk in, when Rin stepped in front of him. "Lord Sesshomaru, I don't think they'd appreciate the fact that we'd be walking in." She said, and then knocked loudly on the door. Sesshomaru said nothing, and had prayed to the Buddha's that she would ask for the help, and not he. Kagome answered the door.
"Why hello Rin." Kagome smiled. "Hello Sesshomaru…C'mon in." She offered gratefully. She didn't let Jaken in, because she didn't see him trouble himself with Ah and Un, who were too stubborn to actually go anywhere. Kagome wore a very nice kimono, of different shades of purple and orange, and very nice flowers on it. Their home was also very traditional looking (although with the few perks of being able to travel back to her normal time)…and it had seemed that InuYasha had a great deal of money. Kagome had brought them to where a low table was, and a little girl who looked like she was coloring in a coloring book. (Although Sesshomaru and Rin had no idea what it was.) The little girl looked up, and shrieked.
"DADDY! A DEMONS HERE!"
InuYasha pounding in the hallway was not seen. "Sesshomaru, why the hell are YOU here?" he came, trotting though the door, holding out the Tetsusaiga.
"InuYasha." Kagome glared at him. "Calm down. Rin wants something…not Sesshomaru…Come, sit down." She smiled.
Rin smiled back, and sat down next to the little girl. The little girl inched herself the opposite direction.
Rin getting the idea sighed. "I'm not a demon…I'm a human."
The girl frowned, and looked terribly annoyed with Rin. "I know that…I'm not stupid you know."
"Naomi!" Kagome gave her a fierce look, and widened her eyes with the sound of her name. "You and InuYasha both…I swear…" She shook her head. "Please, forgive me." She gave a sympathetic look, and then turned to Sesshomaru who stood in the doorway, not saying anything, and was not doing any harm. InuYasha too, stood on the other side of the room, put away his Tetsusaiga, but stood guard.
"So…can I help you? Another girl problem?" She laughed gently, as she looked at Sesshomaru.
"Well, first…I really wanted to congratulate of your daughter's birth. It was a few years ago that I was told that you were pregnant…I had wished I could hear it from you personally instead…of the way I did. That…was an interesting day." She paused and made a small smile to Sesshomaru. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru too, wondering what the heck she meant by that, and then looked back at Rin, who had turned back to Kagome. "Oh…but anyway. I was wondering…Lord Sesshomaru was going to give me a palace that he had grown up in, for my birthday…but it had been destroyed. We…were both wondering if you, InuYasha and your daughter in anyway could help us repair it. It would be even greater with the help of your other friends." Rin asked.
Kagome looked at InuYasha. "Well, what'dya think?"
"What the hell do I think! I think…"He looked at Sesshomaru. "Screw you! I'm not getting my hands dirty to bring a place alive, where you've touched."
"Sit." Kagome said silently then looked at Rin with an annoyed look of her face. "We'll do it."
"Mommy…I don't want to help demons."
"Naomi…if you're not kind, then you will be in big trouble. This is your half…uncle." She gestured her hand to present Sesshomaru, who looked terribly grumpy as usual.
"I don't care if he's my brother. I hate demons." She told her rudely.
"Fine, then no dessert for a month." Kagome threatened, and then looked back at Rin. "Where is it? Can we see it?" (As Naomi screamed in her spot: AWWW NOOO…FINE ILL DO IT…)
Rin looked at Sesshomaru who spoke. "Let's go."
Kagome got up. "Wait…I actually…in my own time, I can get things to repair the place with, and it will be many times easier to do it with." She smiled. "Please, wait here, and I don't want any trouble. I'll be about fifteen minutes."
As Kagome ran out, Rin sat on the ground doubtfully. "Well…In the mean time." She turned to Naomi and looked at her coloring book. "That's an interesting thing…what is it?"
"It's my mommy's. It's something…You would never hear about." She told her snootily.
"Alright then…" Rin frowned a bit, and turned to InuYasha. "So…how are you?"
InuYasha let his guard down, and turned to Rin. "Wow…you've definitely grown up. You're definitely very pretty too. Uhhh… but I'm pretty fine, and although I am who I am, Naomi- has no excuse for being rude the way that she is."
"I guess that's alright." Rin replied. It was even stranger that there was an awkward silence between them all, and the sounds of scribbling of Naomi's coloring marks.
"So, Sesshomaru. Question. Rin's like…old enough…to take care of her self…why do you drag her along?" He asked, grinning.
"Why do you care?" Sesshomaru asked.
InuYasha gave a laugh. "Ahhh…I get it now! You want sex with Rin! That's why you're getting your place back…so you guys can do it there!"
Sesshomaru had given an extremely dirty look to InuYasha, as Kagome walked in. "Am I…interrupting something?" She asked, eye twitching, along with everyone else's in the room.
"Yeah…apparently Sesshomaru here wants to place so he can have kids of his own." InuYasha spoke for him.
Rin turned back to the table, and placed her face into her arms on the table, her face blushing furiously. She didn't think that, that would ever happen…and what's worse is that she assumed that what InuYasha was telling her, was the truth.
"InuYasha…how DARE you say something like that! What Sesshomaru and Rin do on their own is their own business…I mean, you don't see them coming in while Naomi was in the making."
Again…their eyes… began to… twitch.
Naomi turned around slightly. "In…the making?" She asked very curiously.
Kagome gave a nervous laugh. "Don't disturb the grown ups talk Naomi."
"Yea…right." She looked frustrated, then turned back to her coloring book.
"The only reason why I want it built again, is because I have no need for it, and if Rin ever needed a real place to stay, she could stay there…instead of the forest." He told them. "I have no sexual plans for Rin as far as I'm concerned."
"Rin…can I talk to you privately please?" Kagome asked, finally placing the toolbox on to the ground, and walking outside, with Rin following her. She didn't know if leaving Sesshomaru and InuYasha alone would be a good idea, but they had to trust it.
"Yes?" Rin finally replied, as they stood outside.
"Talk quietly…okay? Cause, InuYasha and Sesshomaru can hear pretty well with demon senses. Even Naomi." Kagome leaned forward and whispered to her.
"Alright." Rin whispered quietly.
"May I ask you a very personal question?" she asked.
Rin blinked. "Alright…"
"Honestly…have you ever…done it with Sesshomaru?"
Rin's eyes widened, "Well…" She closed her eyes. "We never really…did…it before. But…actually, a few years back…I was somewhat upset, when this man tried to rape me…and Sesshomaru killed him. He's the one I heard from that you were pregnant. Well, later, I was taking a bath…and he accidentally saw me…and then later, he came in with me. I will never forgive Master Jaken for ruining that moment." She opened her eyes, as if that was the hardest thing to say, and held her fist up, wanting to beat something up.
Kagome's eyes widened. "I've…I've seen Sesshomaru before he met you…and I…well, He…would have never done that. Rin…be lucky…and grateful for it. Remember, he is a demon, and because of his past, and this goes to me too, to InuYasha, their pasts…aren't exactly good ones…so it takes a lot to finally open their heart. I mean…I've known InuYasha since I was fifteen…at that time you were seven…so, you can do the math. But, only a few years back would InuYasha finally allow me to ever touch his body the way I could."
"I know." Rin said. "I already know."
"Good. I just wanted to make sure…so you wouldn't get hurt."
"Lord Sesshomaru would never hurt me."
"I know that, but…you can never be too sure."
"I am almost like…a daughter to my lord."
"Or…perhaps a girlfriend?"
Rin blushed. "I would not hope for it to be that…extreme."
"Oh come off of it Rin. We will help you with that place…then…you must promise me that you will try to get Sesshomaru to…do something…with you. Get rid of Jaken for good…he's always been a pest." Kagome said cruelly.
"As long as you promise me…that you won't tell anyone we had this conversation."
"Deal." Kagome said. "Now let's get that place fixed up. If you can get the others, I'll get Sango, Miroku and Shippou."
"Okay." Rin smiled happily. She ran inside to get the others, as Kagome ran out to reach Miroku and Sango's hut.
"Knock knock!" Kagome yelled from outside of their hut, and walked in. There, she saw Miroku who was sitting around a little fire in the middle of the room, and was cooking rice.
"Hello Lady Kagome." Miroku smiled to her. "What is the pleasure we owe?"
Sango walked in to the room, holding a towel like material in her hands, drying them. "Hello Kagome…"
"Hey guys. Sesshomaru and Rin are at my home. But, the thing is…Sesshomaru wants to give Rin a home where he grew up…but apparently the place has been broken up. Would you guys be able to come help out and re-build the place with us? The place is near by…so it's not going far."
"Hey...yeah sure. Why not…" Miroku smiled to her. "InuYasha's really helping?" He seemed kind of withstood.
"Yes…well, if he doesn't he's paying for it later." She threatened.
"Yea…go grab Shippou, we'll be right out." Sango said. Kagome smiled, and went over to Kaede's hut, where Shippou now owned.
"Hey…Shippou?" Kagome asked from the outside of the hut, and walked slowly inside to hear slight inhales and exhales. "Shippou!" She ran inside further to see Shippou sleeping in bed. With the breathing he was doing, she assumed something else, but, she sighed in relief, and then started walking out.
"What's wrong Kagome? You look like you've seen a ghost." Miroku said, as she came out of Shippou's home.
"I think he's sick." Kagome said.
"Well, then we're going to have to do without him." Sango said.
"Yea, I guess." Kagome replied, sighing doubtfully.
"Kagome…are you able to re-build a house in that nice Kimono?" Sango asked.
Kagome stopped, and looked down. "Hmm…guess not."
As they got back to Kagome's home, everyone was waiting outside, and Kagome apologized, as she ran inside to get changed into loose pants and a T-shirt, and grabbed the tool kit that she borrowed.
"On we go!" Kagome laughed. Naomi sat on InuYasha's back, as they started following behind Sesshomaru and Rin.
"Say, my lord…where is Jaken?" Rin asked him.
"Who knows." Sesshomaru said. To tell the truth, it'd be better if he weren't there. When they got there, they all gawked at how large the place were, and how the hell they were going to re-build the place. They started off with plans, and how they would improve it. Sesshomaru and InuYasha started with the digging, and…had competitions on who could dig the most…as Sesshomaru won. While Miroku, Sango rebuilt one part of the home's walls, and Kagome and Rin the other. Naomi helped by assisting tools to the ones who needed it, and got water and anything else that was needed. Within the next few hard days, the place was finally finished.
"Oh…my…God…"Kagome huffed. "It's finally…done."
Everyone stood off to the side, just as the sun was about to set. They all drank water, and Rin set up a fire outside, as Naomi went to find food to cook. When she got back, everyone sat around the fire, in the new improved home.
"So, Sesshomaru…what'd think? Anything how you remember it?" Miroku turned to Sesshomaru who ate nothing but took sips of water, and sat along the edge of the wrap around balcony.
"It's different. But most is the same."
Rin burst out crying; and everyone turned to her puzzled. "Are you okay?" Naomi asked, with attitude.
"I….-snif-…am so…happy…and so…thankful…-snif-…how can I repay you?" she cried more, then made a small nervous laugh, and called her self a coward.
Everyone but Sesshomaru and InuYasha smiled lightly. Kagome spoke, "Promise to visit us on your free days." She winked to Rin.
Rin wiped her tears and laughed. "Thank you."
As the night went on, the others got tired, so they decided to leave. It was just Rin and Sesshomaru, sitting along the edge of the balcony, facing the waning moon. It was silent between them, but they both knew that their company spoke enough for itself.
"I remember when I was a child, I would sit in this spot and think about all the power I wished I could have. I hated my father for having more power then I. I wanted that power more then anything, and when my mother died, and he found InuYasha's mother, I knew I would hate him even more." He spoke seriously, not looking at Rin, who didn't look at him either. She knew where this was going. "I remember when I left this place, I would be very happy, that I could be off on my own, and that I would not have to worry about my mother's protection. But…being here…right now…" He paused, and turned to the tired out Rin. "…I…am happy to have re-built this place; and I no longer hate my father for falling in love with that mortal…because I think I understand why…and it has been passed to me…as well as InuYasha."
Rin didn't smile. "You will not believe…how long…I have wanted to hear that from you." She told him.
Sesshomaru made a slow blink. "I thought you should have known; and this is your place now."
"This is the best birthday present…that would be even thought imaginable."
"Yes, well, today has been a busy day…there is a hot spring over there-" he pointed to a forest nearby. "If my memory serves me right." He told her.
Rin smiled. "Alright."
Sesshomaru stayed in his spot, as Rin got up, and walked over to the forest. She wanted it to happen tonight…something…anything. He had…improved him self…and a being in this life, by admitting things not every being would. She walked a little in to the forest, where she found the hot spring. It was a large hot spring, and she was surprised how nice looking it was too. The steam had risen very high in the area, and she knew it would be hotter then usual. She stepped out of her clothes, and walked slowly into the hot spring. She flopped her self into the hot spring, and enjoyed the relaxation she hadn't gotten in a few days from the hard work. Sesshomaru sat still, still staring at the large moon.
This place really does bring back memories…not bad ones…but not good ones either. These memories are memories I don't want to remember. But…perhaps…could it be that I only remember them because of Rin in this place? I realize I love her…and I cannot help that. I love looking at her, she's my everything. But, her being in this place reminds me of my mother. Is this fate? Is something suppose to happen here that is supposed to be beyond special?
"My Lord?" a voice shuttered him.
Sesshomaru turned to see Jaken's beat up face, and Ah-Un.
"OH MY LORD!" Jaken shrieked. "I'm so happy to see you…I got lost…and I couldn't…find you. And there were these large demons…"
Sesshomaru knew that his luck couldn't get any stranger. "Jaken…you're annoying me…go away…go inside, and stay there."
"Why my lord? Where is Rin?" Jaken tested him.
Sesshomaru said nothing, and gave Jaken his famous 'death stare' that he gives people. It said enough to Jaken, and so he raced inside. Ah and Un, went off to the side, where Sesshomaru could not see them.
"Should I?" Sesshomaru said quietly to himself, as he stood up, and walked over to the hot spring.
When he got to the forest edge, he could see Rin in the water, splashing her self playfully, as if she was having fun. Sesshomaru walked closer to the hot spring, where Rin saw him.
"Lord Sesshomaru…" she said.
He stood there, having not the slightest idea what to do next.
"Would you like to join me?" She offered.
Sesshomaru looked at her. "Alright."
Rin gave a happy smile, and started to get up out of the water. Sesshomaru turned around in respect of her exposure.
"Would you like some help?"
Now…or never?
"Alright…"
C'mon…turn around…let her see you…"Can you turn around please?" she asked.
Sesshomaru slowly turned around, to be standing in front of a naked Rin. Sesshomaru blushed slightly to be standing above her breasts showing cleavage, with her wet body. Rin started to pull out the tenseiga off his waist, and Sesshomaru took of the tokijin (she'd be killed if she touched it.) Rin then started to pull on the bow around his waist, and pulled his waist closer to hers. Sesshomaru touched her head, and strung his hand through her wet silky hair. Rin got the bow apart, and then took off his armor. She pulled off the boa (fluff) around his shoulder, and placed that on the ground too. She pulled slightly along the collar of his kimono, and got it so his shoulder was showing. She looked up at his face, and he looked back at hers.
You can do it…He bent down and kissed her. He wrapped his arm around the side of her body. Her breasts were squished up on his kimono, where Rin wanted to just tear everything off. But, she continued to pull his kimono off his shoulders as they continued to kiss. The kiss got deeper and deeper as time came along, and soon enough Sesshomaru was left with his pants and boots on. They released the kiss, as Rin bent down and helped the boots off, and then kept her body squatted at his waist, where she started to walk backwards, and pulled his waist with him. She got her feet back into the water, when she started to pull his pants down. Sesshomaru had never felt so…turned on…before. She was able to get his pants off fully, as she walked backwards into the water further, and Sesshomaru walked in forwards. They stood in the middle of the hot spring, kissing, and pulled each other closer and closer. Sesshomaru wanted to touch her breasts so badly, so when he looked at them, she helped his hand touch the nipple, and soon Sesshomaru was down lower then Rin, and was kissing her neck. No words were needed for what they were feeling, because they both knew and felt it. He felt his cock rising, as when Sesshomaru was nipping on her breasts, she leaned her neck backwards, and felt so relieved, as if it's all that she needed with him. Sesshomaru held his breath, while Rin was inhaling and exhaling.
"You…can let it out you know…." Rin said finally, as her neck went back to normal. Sesshomaru looked at her, who let out a groan. Rin competed herself with his groan, until when he reached his fingers to her vagina. He took his two main fingers, and pushed them up her. She let out a soft scream, as they started to drift towards the edge of the hot spring. Sesshomaru was leaned against an edge of the rocks, where he continued to push his fingers in and out of her vagina. He sat down on a rock in the water, so Rin sat on him, and they both leaned back a bit, while Rin slowly grabbed hold of Sesshomaru's cock. She slowly stroked her hand up and down it, while he continued to push in and out of her. They both led out heavy breathing.
They knew that the time wasn't right to have intercourse just then. They both knew that would keep their sexual urges to themselves for a while yet.
Jaken decided to go for a walk (And breaking Sesshomaru's rules…tsk tsk.) Jaken walked to the forest, where he witnessed Sesshomaru's face…and Rin's too, red, and their bodies moving close then apart in a rhythm motion. Jaken's eyes widened. He knew though…if he said a word…or said anything to them about it…he'd be killed at least a few hundred times. He knew it though…and he was right. They were in love.
Rin let go of Sesshomaru's cock, and wrapped her arms around his neck, where he got himself out of Rin too. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and Sesshomaru leaned up against the rock behind him, and Rin leaned against his chest. While keeping her arms around his neck, she kissed Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru closed his eyes, and she closed hers. After a few minutes of trying to calm their breathing, she got off of him, and purposely fell right into the water, and then got up. Sesshomaru did the same too, and they both got out of the water at the same time, and got dressed. By that time, it was sometime around midnight, and Rin and Sesshomaru found their way back to their beds made for them. They had their own rooms (Because the place was so big…) but Sesshomaru wanted to make sure that Rin would be okay on her own. Rin got into her bed, and fell asleep almost instantly, with the thanks to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru, however, being the big strong demon he was, even had a tired side, so he went to his mat too, took off his armor, boots and swords, and found himself asleep on his boa.
He woke up a few hours later, to see Rin in his arms her face hurtled into Sesshomaru's warm chest. Sesshomaru made a soft blink then wrapped his arm around her; and fell asleep until morning.
