I don't own Inuyasha.
A gentle breeze blew through the garden by the mini waterfall where Sayuri was meditating. The wind was blowing her dark purple hair in front of her flawless face. Twitching her ears, she heard the noise of footsteps coming in her direction. 'What brings him here?' she thought to herself listening to the rustle of a dark blue kimono with white flowers at the sleeves.
"Lord Sesshomaru, please sit." still meditating with her eyes closed, listening to everything around her. The youkai lord sat next to her, looking at the waterfall.
"Is it true, nekoyoukai are strong in magic?" avoiding the real reason why he came.
"Yes, but that's not why you're here." twitching her ear to the left where he was sitting. Cutting to the chase, he said:
"I am in love with a human, something I despise and kill for fun... how ironic."keeping his stoic face fixed on the waterfall.
"Love is beautiful. It makes you do strange things." fluttering her eyes open and smiling at the demon next to her.
"It does... I want to be with Rin for eternity, but it... frightens me to know that she will eventually die." Sesshomaru was surprised to open up to anyone, especially a stranger. Sayuri was different: he could trust her, she had no reason to do him any harm.
"I know, I promise you that won't happen. Have you marked her yet?" turning to face an angry youkai staring at her.
"Is that any of your business Lady Sayuri?" shifting back to his normally cold self. She knew exactly what she was doing and was having fun ticking him off.
"That means no. Don't be afraid. She is yours... you drew her first blood. You ruined her."
"Ruined?"
"You know how humans are about virginity. It's what human males do to mark their mates."
"Were you listening from the door?" he said agitated by her interrogation. Her job was to listen, not talk.
"No, I covered my ears the whole night, but it didn't help much. I can't miss anything with these ears." chuckling to herself while pointing to her catlike ears.
"You're a strange woman, Lady Sayuri." he was amused by her humor but kept that comment to himself.
"I know... Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Yes?"
"Don't worry, she won't leave you, she loves you and you love her... embrace that."
"But-."
"Worry about it when the time comes." cutting him off. (If that were someone other than Rin, they would be dead but, she meant no disrespect.) In the blink of an eye she was gone, leaving the demon with his thoughts.
'Worry about it when the time comes.'
Walking through the halls, the nekoyoukai could hear giggling coming from the hot spring. It turned out to be Songo and Miroku having a little "bathtime".
'Horny rabbits.' she thought to herself heading toward Rin and Sesshomaru's room. The young ningen was sitting on the bed watching the same strange bird from earlier.
"Why are you sitting in here? Do something."said Sayuri, leaning against the screen door.
"I was wondering... Why didn't you finish your story, Lady Sayuri?" still watching the purple bird who was walking on the window seal.
Exhaling, she said "Would you like me to?" walking to the bed, sitting next to her.
"Please."
" ...Xu died at age 72 during the winter; he is buried in the cherry blossom field out back." she said, pointing north. "I never removed the necklace, leaving the palace to live as an old hermit leaving these lands to my daughter. One century later, she married a demon from the east and moved to his lands. Kiaiki eventually found me and asked me to marry him since Xu was dead, and because of the favor he did for me. In anger of rejection he swore revenge. About two centuries later he discovered a way to kill me, and well... we all know what happened from there." making a sad chuckle. Rin looked at her with pain stricken eyes, as if she were empathizing with a close friend.
"So Rin, how does it feel?" snapping them both out of their sad moods, now Rin was just confused.
"How does what feel?" tilting her head to the side.
"To be in love." smiling at the young woman across from her.
Blushing, she said "Amazing, there are no words to explain it." hiding her face over her small hands like a child. Itching to do something, the nekoyoukai asked:
"I'm bored. Lets go for a swim, shall we?" floating off the bed to the hall, Rin following close behind.
Through the enormous hall the pair finally reached the waterfall. Quickly untying their kimonos, they jumped in. The water was very cold, but clear as crystal. The sky reflected in the water, giving it a nice sky blue color.
"It's cold, Sayuri!" she screamed making the youkai's ears flatten.
"It's hot outside, you'll warm up." splashing Rin's face, which was almost blue from the water temperature.
Both women played in the water for what seemed like hours, splashing and giggling, attracting the attention of a certain youkai. Hearing the footsteps, she ordered a nearby servant to fetch two robes. As soon as the servant returned with the robes, Sayuri left the water, her purple hair clinging to her back.
Moments after Sayuri left, Sesshomaru walked by the waterfall, kneeling down to speak to Rin.
"Are you having fun?" gazing at the water droplets falling down her neck.
"Yes." wrapping her arms around his neck. As soon as he let his guard down, she quickly pulled him in the water. Laughing hysterically at the soaking wetyoukai in front of her, it didn't take long to notice that he was not very amused. She began to slowly inch away from him, scared for her life.
"Uhh... sorry... I didn't mean to umm.." slowly he crept up to the young woman, grabbing her by the waist in an instant, using his demonic speed. Looking down at the scared ningen he smirked.
"Se-Sesshomaru... I... I-"
The dog demon leaned back dropping both of them into the cold water. Popping up, Sesshomaru shook off the excess water from his long silver hair.
"Stop it!" she demanded with a beet red face.
He laughed, something he rarely did in his long life, upsetting but exciting the nude woman that stood near him.
"That's not funny!"
There was a brief silence. Surprisingly after that, both began to laugh, soaking wet. Rin was the first to leave, wrapping herself in the robe Sayuri left behind. Rin seductively gesturing for him to follow, leaning down to grab her kimono exposing some of her cleavage. Taking his hand, she led him back to their room, where they began to make love on the floor, not wanting to ruin the bed.
Be kind, review. Constructive criticism, no flames.
