Chapter 3: My Wandering Love

By InuSpirit

Last time in Cryptic Messages:

Kagura's back stiffened and she backed up against her dresser, as the mysterious person stood up from his crouching position in the shadows. Allowing her to see who he was, if Naraku had decided to send him to her now then that could only mean that Naraku knew something was going on. It also meant that he had already done something to Sesshomaru.

"Where's Sesshomaru, what did Naraku make you do to him? Answer me damn it!"

The man in the shadows smirked at her as he spoke.

"Calm down now, you little vixen, the only thing I did was send him a little warning to stay away from you. Just like Naraku asked me too. Not to worry your old flame is fine, but to bad I can't say the same for that woman of his."

Kagura eyes widened in horror, Naraku had caused harm to Rin. It was true Kagura wanted Sesshomaru back, however she had never wanted physical harm to come to her.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagura's heart was beating wildly inside of her chest as she continued to watch her unwanted guest.

"Just what did you do to Rin Sayotai?"

The blue eyes of Kagura's guest sparked with some unknown hidden mischief.

"Now why would you care about what happens to that young girl? I could have sworn she was the whole reason of you going against Naraku."

Her voice then suddenly froze inside her throat, and it didn't matter how hard she tried she couldn't speak.

"No…I don't it's just that…she's very gentle and kind. She shouldn't ever have to be hurt by Naraku. So tell me what you did to her Kouga!"

By now Kagura's voice was shaking as she did her best to stay strong in front of Naraku's dog. At one time he had been a proud prince of his tribe and now he was just one of Naraku's many lap dogs. Kouga smirked over at Kagura as he made his way toward her. He then placed a clawed hand beneath her chin and made her look at him.

"You're breaking down you know, the fire is still there but it's not as bright. Then again if you did fight back, Naraku would kill you just like he killed your brother."

Letting his hand fall away from her face, Kouga then turned his back to her and started to walk away from her.

"Go have your little meeting with your ex lover, and don't you worry about Rin Sayotai she should be out of the hospital tomorrow. It was only an allergic reaction to a bunch of genetic engineered flowers. The girl is just too cute to kill; I just might have to get to know her better.

Kagura narrowed her eyes over at Kouga; as much as she wanted Sesshomaru back she should have been happy at hearing Kouga's words. However, happy was the last thing she felt.

"Kouga you had better keep your paws off of that girl."

He smirked once more as he walked toward her bedroom room, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his faded jeans.

"Don't worry I won't, I'll play the part of a good boy for a while. At least until you get what you're looking for. If you get that old flame of yours where you want him, getting Ms. Sayotai too bend to my every wish might be a snap. Oh and if you think I'm out to hurt the girl you'd be wrong. I'm actually trying to help you, in that respect I'll play the part of the loyal lap dog a little longer."

Kagura shook her head in disbelief had she heard Kouga right? Was he really planning on helping her get Sesshomaru back? Maybe Kouga was getting tired of the scrapes Naraku was throwing to him. She knew one thing to be true, only time would give her the answers she was looking for.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshomaru's honey colored orbs continued their watch over Rin's sleeping form. Her condition had improved over the last couple of hours. Regretfully he had, had no choice but to inform his brother of what had happened and of Rin's condition. There was no doubt that InuYasha and Kagome along with their two friends would be here soon to check on her.

For the last couple of hours Sesshomaru had been fighting against his building fatigue. It was true that he and InuYasha had genes that were enhanced with DNA from inu-youkai. Which made them capable of going several days with out sleep, however with all the running around from meeting to meeting every day and then all of the late nights he had been pulling where slowing starting to catch up to him. Sesshomaru soon found that he was losing his battle with the sand man as his eye lids drift closed.

Rin smiled gently as she watched Sesshomaru start to drift off to sleep. She was happy to see him resting at last, seeing how he hadn't had any sleep for more then a week and a half.

'It looks like he finally wore himself out. I just wish he wouldn't do that to himself, demon DNA or not he still needs sleep.'

A few seconds later she smiled as InuYasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku came into see her. She quickly bought a finger up to her lips in order to quiet them; she then glanced at Sesshomaru who had fallen asleep in a chair right beside her bed. InuYasha smirked at seeing this.

"I tried to tell him to stop being a stiff at work. He's been pushing himself to much lately but he just wouldn't listen to me. Well there'll be no moving him for the next couple of hours trust me."

A little confused by what InuYasha had just told them, Miroku took a few steps toward Rin's bed and Sesshomaru. InuYasha did his best to shoot out a warning when he saw what his friend was attempting to do.

"I wouldn't get to close Miroku if I were you."

His warning seemed to come too late, when Sesshomaru growled suddenly his eyes glowing a bright red and his silvery mane lifting up and away from his back. InuYasha took this as the perfect time to intercept him. Stepping quickly in front of Miroku blocking him from Sesshomaru's senses, InuYasha then started to speak calmly to his half sleep, half older brother.

"Hey there, Sesshomaru just take it easy. I know I'm probably not the best person to cool your jets, but just relax we're just here to visit Rin we're not here to hurt her."

After a few moments Sesshomaru's body seemed to relax, and his body laid back against the back of the chair, as his eyes drifted closed once again. Only this time his right hand protectively wrapped around Rin's left arm. InuYasha smirked at this action.

"See what I'd tell you. There'll be no moving him now until he wakes up and moves himself."

Kagome knew just how right InuYasha was, Rin knew as well as her cinnamon orbs stared down at Sesshomaru's protective grasp. For she knew as well just how protective inu youkai could be, she had been late for class once because Sesshomaru had refused to release her while he slept. It appeared that today was going to be one of those wonderful nights.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Naraku couldn't help but give a slight smirk so Kagura was still pining over Sesshomaru Takshio.

"So it would seem that Kagura is still harboring feeling for Takshio. This could become a problem or I can make this work to my advantage. However, if Kouga has done what I asked him to do, then perhaps it will be easier to get him away from Kagura."

A smug look of satisfaction skated across his lips as he looked out the sleek glass windows of his office, and down at the city as all of the night dwellers a merged. One look in his dark maroon eyes and you knew he had a sinister plan in mind.

"I will have what I want Kagura, make no mistake of it. You will find that out soon enough, I'll have you right where I want you and then at that time you won't want to leave me."

A soft knock echoed inside of his large and silence office. With his hands behind his back Naraku turned on his heels to face the door.

"Yes, enter," there was no hiding the callousness in his smooth, rough voice as he spoke. The door then slowly opened to reveal a woman with long flowing ebony hair and stunning green eyes.

"Ah, Tsubaki what a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect that I would see you tonight. You come with news I hope."

Tsubaki's voice was just as cold and uncaring as Naraku's the only different was hers was softer.

"Oh course Naraku; I did a follow up on Mrs. Miasma. Your suspicions were right; your wife seems to have gone off to see your brother Onigumo once again. However, she seemed to take ill and she hasn't spent as much time with him as she would normally."

"I see."

Naraku then turned back to the night sky has Tsubaki continued on with her finding. Once or twice his eyes glanced down at the buttons on the sleeves of his midnight blue dress shirt.

"I noted how much time she spent with your brother this time and it was nothing compared to the other four times she was with him. This time she seemed to spend most of her time with her younger sister Kaede. However, I really couldn't see to where Kaede looked sick at all. Kikyo on the other hand…."

Naraku turned suddenly back toward Tsubaki, causing the young woman to jump in surprise.

"That will be all Tsubaki, you may leave now."

Not wanting to get on his bad side Tsubaki slowly bowed to Naraku and then started to make her way toward the door; when something else came to her causing her to turn quickly around.

"There was one more thing; she purchased plane tickets for a plane ride home in two days."

Naraku's only answer was a simple nod as he waved toward the door. To which Tsubaki quickly exited, she wasn't sure she liked the glinted in his eyes.

"So Kikyo my wife and one of my many obsessions, you're coming home earlier then usually. I'm looking forward to it, for we have much to discuss with one another. Something tells me you'll be coming home with that fiery temper of yours."

Naraku then turned back to the windows in his office, as he loosened the deep plum colored tie that hung around his neck.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshomaru blinked his honey golden eyes, as a bright morning ray from the sun shone on his face. Apparently his reaction must have been humorous, because a soft giggle could be heard in the room. His golden orbs quickly found out where the giggles as he looked up at Rin.

"Good morning you sleepy head, I hope you slept well the doctor gave me a clean bill of health." Her smile was as warm as the sun as she continued to smile at him.

"Which means I can go home this morning and go to my classes. You of course can go to that business meeting with Bankotsu."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Several hours later Sesshomaru and Rin where both back at point A the very place where Rin's scare had started, Rin frowned up at Sesshomaru as he sat her on their bed.

"Sesshomaru, what are you doing? I have class not to mention work later on."

She then folded her arms in front of her chest as Sesshomaru smirked at her.

"Not today you don't, you've been excused from both. As have I as well, my meeting with Bankotsu is next Wednesday in case you have forgotten. I do have a meeting this week, it's on Thursday it's a lunch meeting with a new client."

A look of mischief shone in Rin's cinnamon orbs as she looked at her fiancé.

"Oh really and just what are your plans for today?"

Sesshomaru remained silent as he undid his blue satin tie and then undid the buttons on his white dress shirt. He then gracefully removed his redwood colored dress shoes, as he made his own way toward their bed.

"I realize that you have been confined to a bed, however I was hoping you wouldn't mind it if the two of us laid in bed together. It all really depends how you are feeling."

Rin smiled briefly as she let Sesshomaru crawl in next to her. To be truthful she was feeling much better. Rin then figured that it wasn't every day she was going to get to spend time with Sesshomaru. So she should enjoy it while she could.

"Nope, I'm feeling fine. I think getting to lay in bed with you is the best gift I could ask for."

Rin then leaned into Sesshomaru's lips as his hungrily devoured hers. Sesshomaru soon found himself, leaning deeper into the kiss as his left hand greeted her waist. While his right hand introduced itself to other tantalizing places. Rin moaned in delight as she felt his left hand slide up her rib cage. After a few moments of his hands slid up her ribs, taking Rin's blue cotton t-shirt with her.

Sesshomaru smiled lightly as a shiver of pleasure rippled through Rin's body. There was no denying that she was his muse, the mere reason for his life. Rin arched her back as she felt his hands exploring her body. Her own slim fingers played with the button to his dress pants once she was sure the button and zipper was undone. Rin started to slide his pants down his waist. Her smile turned to a smirk as Sesshomaru caught on to her wanting.

"Are you sure that you feel up to this Rin?"

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow as he caught sight of something mischievous gleaming in her cinnamon orbs. His suspicions were confirmed when he felt Rin nipping playfully at his right earlobe.

"I see I shall take that as a yes. However, you forget that two can play that game."

Before Rin could react, Sesshomaru had showered her neck with kisses. He then made his way up to the pressure point on the left side of her neck, to where he began to playfully nip her in return. With each soft moan of ecstasy that Rin emitted, Sesshomaru could feel himself harden. His fingers fumbled with the front of Rin's jeans, he was surprised by the moan of pleasure that escaped his lips. Rin's pink nails were gently sliding across his well-toned chest.

The last twenty-four hours had been torture for him, he guessed it had also hadn't been hell for Rin as well. For several split seconds, Sesshomaru had been sure that he was going to lose her and it had scared him. Not once in his life had he ever been scared like he had been last night. He hadn't even been surprised the day he and InuYasha's father had confessed to having his DNA modified with Inu Youkai DNA, making Sesshomaru and InuYasha have the same DNA running through their bodies as well. Rin was the only reason for smiling from time to time. His birth mother Ishi had died when he was eleven years old; she had given her life to save his, after that day he never smiled again. Seventeen years is a long time for a child not to smile and for that child to turn into a young man, and then a man without a smile. However, that was before he had meet Rin on that very day everything had changed within him.

Shaking images from the past from his mind, Sesshomaru registered his beautiful heroine lying beneath him. His hardened self, waiting just in front of her warm core, his K-9 senses picked up on the lily scent of her arousal. She was just about to reach her climax, if he did not join her soon she would cum before he did.

Their warm breathes mingled together, just before their heated bodies crashed together to make one. Rin's hips were now moving in time with each one of Sesshomaru's thrust. She was on her way to utopia and Sesshomaru was following close behind her. The heat created between the two lovers was slowly starting to steam up the windows in the room, as the chilly wind of February blew outside. Their bodies rocked together, as they both reached the peak together.

Their breathing were now coming out in long heated pants, Rin's fingers soon ran through Sesshomaru silvery strand as she spooned herself closer to him. She then giggled lightly as she traced the blue crescent moon that was tattooed on his left shoulder.

"Hmm, if this is what I'm going to get every time I get out of the hospital. Maybe I should get sick more often."

Sesshomaru sifted in the bed so he was then leaning against the headboard. He then placed a finger underneath Rin's chin so that her cinnamon orbs met with his own exotic golden orbs.

"I think not. Do you have any idea how frightened I was? I thought I was going to lose you last night. I have not been that scared in a very long time. This Sesshomaru of yours is in no hurry to repeat that feeling anytime soon."

Rin placed a gentle kiss on his forehead she then leaned back to gazed into his orbs again. She had not realized how it might have affected him, seeing how he hardly ever showed his emotions to her.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru, I didn't mean to…"

Her words were cut off when he placed a finger to her lips.

"Hush, I am not mad at you nor is it your fault. So you have nothing to worry about. The important thing is that you are well now and the danger is over."

Rin gave Sesshomaru a sly smile as she responded to his resent words.

"You're right Sesshomaru. We don't have anything to worry about, because I'm safe right here with you."

She then leaned forward to place a kiss on his forehead, then his lips. This soon led to a cheek that then made its way to the pressure point in his neck. Sesshomaru stiffened slightly as he felt himself harden once more as his desire for his seemingly innocent Rin flared hotter. He then felt her tongue flick out and run across the same spot that her kisses had been caressing earlier.

Sesshomaru moaned in ecstasy as wave of heated pleasure crashed into him. He hadn't had this much pleasure since…well he wasn't sure when he had felt this much eternal bliss. Unable to endure Rin's torture alone anymore, wrapping his strong arms around her waist to brace her he then rolled quickly to the top once more. His teeth nipped lightly at her swollen lips, before crashing his own into her once more.

He then ran his strong yet gentle hands down across her ribs, causing several shivers of desires to radiate of her passion heated body. The temperatures of their bodies were once again starting rise. As the minutes turned to hours, both of the passion filled lovers found themselves panting to catch their breaths as they cummed together.

Now tangled together in their sheets the two found themselves slowly drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Naraku smirked to himself as he glazed out of his bed room window. Kikyo would be home in a few minutes and Naraku could only guess what pleasurable mood she would be in. He then turned back towards their bed, as he unbuttoned the sleeves of the midnight blue dress shirt he had been wearing. His dark chocolate colored hair was now free from the confines of a hair tie, and hung in thick waves down his back.

His fingers then started to work, with each one of the buttons on his shirt. Until it hung open revealing a chest that was almost toned to perfection, his dark maroon orbs seemed to smile as a car pulled up to the large mansion. Kikyo's quick departure from visiting her ill little sister Kaede only told Naraku one thing. His wife had figured out after several months that she was being watched. However events from earlier on in the week only seemed to make Naraku pleased that his wife had come home earlier then expected. The sound of the front door slamming only caused Naraku to smirk inwardly; Kikyo had that fiery temper of hers ablaze tonight just what he had been hoping for.

The room was dimly lit by a golden bronze lamp that was a statue of Orisis the Egyptian God of the dead. In the little bit of light that was allowed to be in the room, one could see that there were not many if any bright colors. The whole color scheme of the room seemed to be dark blues, purples and reds. The bed frame was made of heavy oak and had been stained a dark ebony color. Craved out and in to the head board of the bed was the image of Orisis and his Queen Isis. Craved into the dark legs of the bed were images of a sitting jackal, the signature image of Anbus the Egyptian God of death.

The sound of light hurried footsteps alerted Naraku of his wife's approach. A minute later her slim willowy form appeared in the door way, her dark eyes were narrowed in Naraku's direction. Unaware of her husband's appearance, Kikyo stormed into the room toward Naraku.

"Naraku, you bastard, how dare you."

There was a satisfied SLAP, as Kikyo's delicate right hand came in contact with Naraku's right cheek. He however only seemed to smirk at his wife's aggression towards him.

"How long have you had someone following me?"

Naraku however, let her question go unanswered as he changed the subject.

"Tell me Kikyo, how is my little brother Onigumo? What about Kaede I hope her health is doing better."

Kikyo's dark chocolate orbs widened at hearing Naraku's words. His words were callous and cold as he spoke.

"To answer your question my dear Kikyo I have only been following you for the last two months. Especially, when I heard of the precious cargo you were carrying. Tell me Kikyo when were you going to tell me you were carrying my child?"

"I'm sure my brother wasn't happy to hear the news. Then again you could have ended the pregnancy, yet you choose not too."

Naraku took Kikyo by surprise as he suddenly grabbed her biceps and pulled her closer to him.

"I shall tell you what I think your answer is my Kikyo. It is because no matter how many times you have been with Onigumo. I'm the only one you truly own; then again you're the one who is owned by me. I say this because you married me so that makes me the one in control; you were drawn into my web by the power and control over my company."

Kikyo's breathing was becoming labored by the closeness of her husband. While she had been visiting her sister, she had repeated to herself over and over again that she didn't love Naraku. However, the minute she went to tell Onigumo of her plan to run away with him and raise the child with him, something stopped her and made her say the complete opposite.

Her slim delicate fingers brushed against toned muscle, as she braced herself against Naraku's chest. Kikyo's lips were soon taken captive by Naraku's. He smiled to himself as he felt her heart beat quicken with each passionate kiss or touch. Naraku's mere closeness to was causing her body temperature to rise ever so slightly, it was true Kikyo belonged to him in every sense of the word, because he had made it so.

The company Naraku owned did reach on human genetics stretching from the DNA code all the way to fertility. So many women wished to have a child but they where unable to conceive, Kikyo herself had been told she would never be able to conceive. However, it had been Naraku who had sought out Kikyo; after they first met Kikyo had become intrigued by Naraku. After he had married Kikyo, he had learned of her secret fling with Onigumo. Which only fueled Naraku's actions, to where he had made his own wife part of his experiment, there was only one catch.

Not only would Kikyo be apart of one of Naraku's experiments, she would be a part of some of his brand new studies. Each night after the two had spent hours together, Naraku would inject a serum in to Kikyo's system sometimes it was mixed in with her food as well. Naraku's whole plan was not to merely ensure that Kikyo became pregnant, but to make sure that he was the father.

In every dose of the serum Kikyo consumed five days a week, Naraku had inserted a very small piece of his own DNA. Slowly with each serum treatment, Kikyo's body accepted Naraku's cell without a fight. When it came to testing it to see if Kikyo would become pregnant by another man sperm, the sperm failed to enter on every account. When Naraku placed his own sperm into the test, the egg cell seemed to open its doors to it.

There was only one unexpected surprise with the process, all the cells in Kikyo's body seemed to speed up and react to Naraku's nearness. Even now as the two of them lay together in each others arms, it felt as if he could feel the cells of his unborn child splitting and dividing faster with each labored breath from his wife. If that were truly the case then he really was a genesis, his only thought was on how to do the same with Kagura. However, her will towards him seemed to be stronger then that of Kikyo's.

'Go on and fight me Kagura, while you still can. I will one day find a way to make you mine as well.'

Naraku absently ran his fingers through the soft silky raven strand that belonged to Kikyo. Truth be told Kikyo was the only woman who would truly have what little bit of a heart he owned. Kagura was merely a desire that he had once and awhile, however that didn't mean that he didn't want to lay more of a claim on her.

His hands soon came to a stop at Kikyo waist that was now bare; it was now that Naraku saw the slight bulge in Kikyo's slim waist. It was the only true proof that told Naraku that his wife was indeed pregnant. When Yura and Mukotsu had come to him earlier on in the week and told him that Kikyo was pregnant, his first fear was that the child was his brother's, but after being with her tonight and being able to see how big she was. There was no doubting the child was his, she hadn't seen his brother since October and seeing how she looked like she was three months along there was no way the child couldn't be his. After completing his experiment with his wife's cells, eggs; Naraku hadn't given it much thought about how similar some of his brother's DNA strands would be to his own.

Naraku had big plans for his unborn child, even a part of him was sure that it was a boy. However only time would tell if he was truly correct, till that time came he would have what fun he could with Kagura Kaze. Naraku gave off a sinister smirk as he watched Kikyo who now slept peacefully beside him.

'Go ahead and try to run from me Kagura, one day you shall run out of places to run and that will be the day I corner you.'

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Having nothing better to do Kagura decided to give the files she had copied from Naraku's computer a once over. However, after several minutes of looking through them Kagura had a better understanding of what these files truly meant, unable to stand it any more she dialed an all too familiar number.

'I don't really care when our meeting was scheduled, you just have to meet with me early. The stuff I just found out just can't wait any longer.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshomaru growled as the sound of Bach's 12th symphony drifted to his ears. He could have swore that he had turned it off. Before bothering with the cell phone, Sesshomaru turned his head to check on Rin. She was sleeping soundlessly beside of him. The sound of his phone didn't seem to be bothering her at the moment. He then looked over at his cell in disgust as it continued to ring. When at last he picked up the phone he sighed when he saw who it was.

"What is it now; do you know how late it is?"

A feminine voice answered his question.

"I apologize unfortunately this just couldn't wait. At least not what I just found out about the two new little projects Naraku is working on."

After she explained to him what she had just found out. The line went silence as she waited for Sesshomaru reply. Then at last the sound of Sesshomaru uncaring voice could be heard.

"Very well, our meeting shall be moved up to twelve- thirty tomorrow. However, this is as early as I will allow, even now I am starting to regret agreeing to help you; now good night to you Miss Kaze."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagura flinched at hearing Sesshomaru words as the other line went silent. Pressing the end button as she shut down her computer, she then walked toward her bed and climbed in; pulling the cover over her as high as she could.

"I'm starting to regret asking you for your help as well. Though my reason are nothing to yours, if we can just figure out just what Naraku is really up to. Then just maybe things will be alright."

(A/N: All right I got another chapter up that is amazing. I hope everyone will start to like the way the story is going. Oh by the way if you know anyone who is a Chrono Crusade fan, tell them to check out TaintedInuShemeeko's story. The Heart Within, Rated T but from what I hear she may change it to M in the future.
