A/N: So this is kinda Valentines Day's special for ya'll…its not exactly but hey…thirteenth one is here…
Chapter thirteen
Rin's eyes snapped open. She got up and looked around. She saw no one. She was alone in the room sleeping with Kaede who was fiercely clutching Kagome. They had taken Inuyasha to other room. He had been a bloody mess.
Rin looked at Kagome. Her tensioned brows relaxed.
'I know her...but why can't I remember her? She is my sister...' Rin thought as she looked at Kaede and Kagome with warmth. As if it were natural, she bent down and kissed both of them. When she realized what she had done, she smiled awkwardly and covered both of them with the blankets. She felt her belly; she was almost two months pregnant now. Two and half months more...
It was bugging her. It had been since she met this certain Lord. She had a faint memory of kissing him. But she shook those thoughts away.
'Me? Kissing him? Humph...' She admonished those thoughts.
She felt thirsty. She got up and made it down. It was scary. It was a large mansion and it was quite dark. She had never been in a place like this before. 'Or...have I been here before...?' She was having a feeling of deja vu and a gnawing feeling in her stomach.
She could place this feeling. It was yearning to be with these strange people. She still got confused with the feeling of relief she experienced when she saw Kagome and Inuyasha. For that matter, she felt relaxed whenever Miroku was around although she was a bit cautious (!). She felt at home with Sango, Ayame and with Kouga, she felt protected. But Sesshoumaru...it was pain. But a sweet pain. She welcomed it but at the same time, was skeptical about it. And the desire...that was so strong. She had over reacted because of that. She felt ashamed of that.
She found the refrigerator and opened it. She could not make out most of the weird liquids there. But she eventually was able to pick the water bottle. She closed the door and looked around to find the glass. She went to the table and placed the bottle there. Suddenly a clawed hand placed a glass near the bottle.
"You should be doing all this by yourself. You could have asked Jaken." The voice told her from behind.
Jaken...yep, she remembered that toad like demon. But she was in a very awkward situation to think about considering the advice.
He was right behind her and his other hand came from the other side, snaking around her waist.
It was the Lord.
She was so small compared to him. She only came up to his chest. He poured water for her and held it. He was wearing a purple night robe. Did this color mean something to him...was it his favorite?
Rin was scolding herself. She was not supposed feel all these for the demon behind her.
'Behind me...nope...almost hugging me...'
But she could not stop herself. She had a feeling that she had already fallen for him. She felt love, passion, anger, disappointment, happiness, sadness, every other feeling toward this demon; all at the same time and it got her totally confused.
She had actually stared at him when she first met him that day.
But the feeling that it was natural had frightened her and that was exactly what she was feeling now. She knew him, certainly if she knew everybody in the mansion, she should have known him. Thinking about it, did they come looking for her to Kikyo's place? If then...why had she been there in the first place?
The headaches were starting again.
Suddenly the hands held her waist and she felt herself floating in the air before she was made to sit on the table with her head bent low. The glass was brought before her face and she accepted it, still not looking at Sesshoumaru. She gulped the whole glass down and held it. Sesshoumaru took it away from her and considered her bent form. It was bothering him a lot but this was amusing. Her head was still bent low.
She cleared her throat and shifted her place. She tucked few stray strands of hair behind the ears and looked sideways to escape. But his hand rested beside her leg. She snapped up to look at him. But she felt herself eyeing his other hand, which reached out to rest beside her other leg.
'Ooooh boy...' She looked up meekly to face him.
He was staring at her, same cold expression in his face and the straight eyes that gave away nothing. And his face was an inch away from hers. She could feel his hot breath on her face and she closed her eyes, confused with the quite strong feelings that was pooling in her due to his presence.
"Rin-chan...I knew you'd crack...anyway I didn't know that I'd find you two in such a compromising position so soon...and in the kitchen..."Miroku said suddenly.
Rin jerked her eyes open to see Miroku. Her eyes were wide and her cheeks stained pink with embarrassment and blush.
"Umm...Miroku-sama...I was..."
"Sango..." Sesshoumaru said but it was more of an order.
Rin was still looking at Miroku who had a pathetic boyish grin on his face. Suddenly Sango popped from behind and...
Whack!
Sango dragged poor blacked-out Miroku back.
Rin laughed at this and turned to face Sesshoumaru.
He had not turned to look at Miroku or Sango at all. He had been looking at Rin all the time.
Rin's laugh slowly faded away but her breath hitched.
His emotionless eyes had a certain sparkle. It was so familiar...
She looked at him in a new light.
Probably she was related to him in an intimate way...and that was the reason none had breathed a single word about their exact relation. And given the circumstance and what Miroku had told...
Sesshoumaru kissed her. And that was how Rin's trail of thoughts ended.
It was a passionate one though she felt a little tensed due to his claws and his fangs. But really, she felt pure bliss. When Sesshoumaru finally ended the kiss, her thoughts came back.
'Am I supposed to feel like this...?'
She did not think twice. She pulled him down this time and kissed him with the same passion. But in her mind, it felt as it were meant to be. And the way he felt against her also felt so right. No other man had been like this. In fact there had been no other man. And all of a sudden, here he was...
He pulled her hair to the right making her tilt side ways and he pulled her toward him. Rin went with him giving him more space.
He pushed her skirt upwards and made her lie on the table. He clasped her hands and broke away.
He was positioned in-between her legs and both were sprawled across the table.
He looked into her eyes and Rin could see his strong emotions. Her heart skipped a beat and the pain was back. That sweet pain. She untangled her right hand and traced it along his arms. She went up to his face and cupped it.
Yes, she knew it. She loved him very much that it pained. It was not a mindless desire or situational lust. But it was love. She felt it and he was making her feel his love.
She let her breath out in a relieved way and a tear slipped from her eyes. She was unaware of it. Sesshoumaru kissed that tear away and claimed her lips once more, his hands moving downward her hips. She moaned into his kiss as he slid down her neck placing hot kisses.
Rin was floating. It was as if viewing through a kaleidoscope. Before long her hands were clenched into fists holding few strands of his silver hair, on his shoulder as she held onto him. Her head was tilted back in ecstasy as he made love to her. He was watching her face in delight as she bit her lips a little to keep it quite. He himself was controlling himself but it was overwhelming. Her scent, her touch, her emotions that were hitting him, the feeling of being inside her, to top that his feelings for his mate was driving him mad. Rin opened her eyes to look at him and was little started to find his eyes red. And it looked as he was struggling to keep himself in control.
She had been through this before...but she could not place it again...
She watched in amazement as his marks that were invisible in the darkness began to glow. She felt his hair grow that were tickling her in spite of the shirt she was wearing.
His need was becoming demanding at the same time. She could feel it. But she was not afraid and felt quite surprised that she trusted him so much. She knew he would not harm her.
But she looked at him and it seemed he was in pain.
Was this...painful to him?
She dazedly pulled him closer to face her. Brown ones met the red ones. Sesshoumaru blinked once, not knowing what was happening. Rin smiled before she kissed him. It was as urgent as his need for her. It was her turn now; she had the same need for him. She needed him.
When finally she pulled back in ecstasy of reaching her climax, she caught his eyes for a moment before he closed his eyes, they were back to normal. She enjoyed this feeling as his eyes closed when he lost himself inside her.
And when they really came together, they came together in a beautiful kiss to keep their noise down. When it ended Sesshoumaru crashed himself on her and she welcomed him. He was breathing heavily near her ears and she could feel his hot breath and she felt herself quite satisfied. His right hand was supporting her head as he nestled her neck. Rin closed her eyes.
She ran her hands through his hair and back lovingly and kissed his cheeks.
Sesshoumaru lapped at her neck at the marks.
"My mate..." Rin whispered.
Rin's eyes went wide. Her lips parted with a gasp. She instantly reached for her belly to find her belly flat...
Rin's eyes snapped open. She felt the warm rays of morning sun on her face. She instantly reached for somebody beside her and found no one. She got up to feel her belly. It was intact with the life growing inside her. She looked around and felt lost.
'Was it all a dream?' Rin wondered as she saw that she was indeed very alone in the room. It had indeed been a dream.
Ayame entered the room smiling to find Rin looking outside the window fiercely.
"Good morning Rin..." She said cheerfully.
Rin looked at her stumped then smiled and replied, "Hey...good morning..."
Ayame smelt something and scrunched her nose. She silently kept the bath towels down and regarded her.
"Well...wash up and come down. We all will be meeting for the breakfast. And you girl, need it the most...for the pup..." Ayame said cheerily and turned.
She had a smile spreading across her face as she realized why Rin smelt like that.
Kouga woke up from his sleep and his eyes instantly searched Inuyasha. He found Inuyasha perched on the sofa handle, staring at a sleeping Sesshoumaru. His face was amused.
'What the hell is that mutt doing...?' Kouga got up and reached there. Inuyasha looked at him and signaled him to be soft. Kouga reached there on his tiptoes and he the scent hit his nose. He rolled his eyes first and looked at Inuyasha with a disgusted look.
Sesshoumaru normally would not sleep and this time, he was sleeping and never realized that two of the canines were staring at him.
Kouga saw Inuyasha and a smile formed on his face. It turned into a suppressed laughter. He signaled Inuyasha for breakfast and dashed outside the room. He doubled over and found Ayame coming from the opposite side with a similar expression on her face. He noticed Inuyasha too, coming out of the room.
"That was rich!" Inuyasha high fived Kouga and winked at Ayame.
Kagome woke up to find someone sleeping soundly under her arms. She strained to look at the figure but she got a surprise.
"Kaede?"Kagome croaked. Literally.
Kaede looked up slowly.
"Ki...Kagome..." Kaede said realizing where she was and whom she was with.
"Kaede...baby its you..." Kagome said as she cupped Kaede face and started crying.
"No Kagome...don't cry please...or else even I will cry..." Kaede said. She then started kissing Kagome and Kagome hugged her fiercely.
Inuyasha entered the room laughing.
Kagome and Kaede looked at him with tears in their eyes and happiness.
They both wondered why he was laughing.
Inuyasha came closer with mirth in his face but stopped suddenly. He inhaled deeply and looked stunned.
"Kaede..." Inuyasha breathed.
Kaede looked at him with all her love for the two of them and smiled.
"Keh...who could have..." Inuyasha stopped mid sentence and inhaled deeply again.
He looked at Kagome up and down and focused on her belly once again.
"Well...what is wrong with dog boy today?" Kagome kidded wiping her tears away.
Inuyasha looked at her face then Kaede's. Kaede understood what his expression meant.
She hugged Kagome once again and kissed her. She looked at Inuyasha and nodded.
"Yeah...Inu-kun...she is having a baby..." Kaede said.
Kagome's smile faded as she released herself from Kaede's embrace.
"What are you telling Kaede?" She asked not believing.
Kaede placed her hands on her belly and jerked her head toward Inuyasha.
Inuyasha joined them on the bed. He maintained a certain distance as if he were afraid.
"Come on Inuyasha...don't tell me you can not smell it..." Kaede chided him.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha tears spilling.
Inuyasha nodded and hugged Kagome, kissing her.
Kaede looked at them as her smile faded. 'It was you Kikyo...I know it...' She remembered her dead sister.
Inuyasha pulled Kaede too and hugged her along with Kagome.
Kaede was surprised but smiled for them...and Kikyo. She was not all alone in this world. She was back with her family.
"So Rin..."
"Sesshoumaru..."
Kouga and Ayame stopped at looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Both were dreaming the same thing I guess...but then again…they could have done it…am not so sure…." Ayame said shaking her head and smiling.
"Yeah...their's is an unusual bond...even after all this...they still stay connected..." Kouga said staring at Ayame.
Ayame looked at him and smiled.
Kouga reached for her hand and pulled her, kissing it.
Ayame blushed. She looked down and then looked up to meet his eyes that were glowing with love.
She laughed.
"Looks like love is in the air..." Ayame said looking around dreamily.
"Mmmhmm..." Kouga said.
Ayame looked at him.
"Aishiteru..."Ayame said slowly.
"You dont' have to tell that..." Kouga said as he kissed her.
"Praise the Lords...it is lucky day..." Miroku said chuckling. He had a popcorn can in his hand and was staring at Kouga and Ayame.
Kouga's eyes twitched. Ayame's mouth hung open as slight blush tainted her cheeks. She recoiled from Kouga.
"Breakfast will be ready..." She said a little angrily and walked off muttering something about telling this to Sango.
"What...that is it...I was expecting some action...sparks..." Miroku said stuffing his mouth with popcorn.
Kouga was advancing toward him.
"Where the hell did you get pop corn from?" Kouga asked cracking his knuckles.
"Umm...Kouga...what is wrong with you?" Miroku asked a little worried.
As Kouga neared him, he stopped.
"Oh no you don't Kouga...he is mine..." Sango said as she hit Miroku on head heavily. Miroku looked stunned. He slid down, stars in his eyes.
Kouga looked shocked and disappointed. Nope...nobody takes his target before him. He looked daggers at Sango.
"Why you...umm...Sango what are you wearing?" Kouga asked his anger forgotten.
Indeed, she was draped in blanket.
"Well...this monk of a lecher did something to our wardrobe...it suddenly has neither his clothes nor mine..." Sango stated.
Kouga nodded handing his coat to her.
"Well...let us go have breakfast, shall we?" Kouga asked holding his hand out.
"Yeah...he never learns to act according to situation..." Sango said shaking her head and accepting his hand.
"He never will..and that is exactly why you love him.." Kouga said. Sango smiled brightly at him.
Ayame and Rin stopped in their tracks and gaped at Sango and Kouga.
"What the...?" Rin asked confused.
As far as she knew, Kouga was with Ayame and Sango was with Miroku.
"Oh no...no.." Ayame said looking at Miroku. Rin saw what Ayame was looking at and raised her eyebrows.
"Miroku...are you alright...?" Ayame asked helping him sit up. Rin caught his wavering hand and steadied him.
"Yes, my dear Ayame...well you know...my wife and your mate..roughed me up..." Miroku said as if were completely normal.
"I see...but you deserved it." Ayame said and helped him stand.
"Yes." Miroku agreed and held out both his hands.
"Breakfast ladies?" Miroku asked.
Ayame rolled her eyes and took his hand. Rin smiled awkwardly and took his hand.
'These people are funny...but they are sure bound to each other...' Rin thought as she smiled at Miroku and Ayame.
"For a pervert...he sure is always lucky with the girls..." Inuyasha hollered as Miroku entered with the women.
"Ayame...?" Kouga asked shocked.
Ayame laughed and went to sit with Kouga. Inuyasha was seated with Kagome and Kaede, who smiled at Rin. Sesshoumaru looked up to see Rin.
My mate...
Miroku lead Rin to Sesshoumaru and he went sat on the other side where Sango looked pissed at him.
Rin took a moment to sit next to Sesshoumaru. She seated herself and looked up to find literally everybody staring at her.
"So lets start..." Kouga said.
"Yeah..." Everybody chorused.
Rin stuffed her mouth with the eggs. She stopped in the middle as her eyes went wide.
Kagome looked at Rin with concern.
Rin noticed this and smiled. She took another spoon.
She looked down at her lap. Sesshoumaru had his hand over hers.
She looked up again and stuffed her mouth. She took his hands in hers.
Sesshoumaru looked at her.
Rin looked at him. She pulled his hand over her belly and tangled his hands with hers.
She looked at Sesshoumaru.
I remember you, my mate...
