Chapter 3: Lost Jewel
It had been long since the sun had set, Rin sat by the window that gave her a beautiful view. Rin recalled the events of the day, and how Sesshoumaru had held her, she felt so good in his arms, she felt secured, and she felt loved.
'Stop kidding yourself Rin, he wants a Youkai as his mate, and a human most of all won't be his choice' said Rin to herself as she changed out of her kimono and into a cotton nightgown with very thin straps, and it was slightly sheer that went down to her ankle. Rin sat in front of her vanity table and brushed her long hair.
"He couldn't possibly love me" said Rin as she put down the brush and walked to her bed. 'Yet, all I dream about is him' thought Rin as her eye started to get glassy with tears. "I have to stop torturing myself like this!" said Rin drying the tears. "I just have to forget about him, and all will be good" said Rin as she snuffed out the candle and got in bed.
"Who could this be that she is in love with?" asked Sesshoumaru as he paced around. 'I have to find out, Rin cannot belong to anyone but me' thought Sesshoumaru.
"My Lord your tea" said a female servant she was tall with jet-black hair and golden eyes her kimono was done lose giving Sesshoumaru a great view.
"You are Kana?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Kana blushed and nodded, "Yes, my Lord" she said setting the tea down on the table.
Sesshoumaru just sat down and sipped his tea. "Did Rin have her tea?" asked Sesshoumaru knowing that Rin did not like drinking tea, but did it to mess with Kana.
Sesshoumaru heard her low growl "No my Lord" said Kana.
"If she not asleep tell her to come in to my chamber" said Sesshoumaru knowing very well that Rin was sleep.
"Yes, my Lord" said Kana walking out.
'Well, at least I found a new way to amuse myself' thought Sesshoumaru smiling.
"What the hell is wrong with him, is he blind! She is a human" said Kana clutching the tray in her hand tight. 'I will just have to go to extreme measures, Rin will have to be taken out of the picture. That will be tonight!' thought Kana with a smile on her face as she thought back to her plan.
Flashback
Kana's chamber was small, and not very elegant, but that how most servant chambers were. Kana sat on her bed. "How will I get rid of that wrench?" asked Kana.
"Why not just give her to me" said a deep voice.
"What, who goes there?" asked Kana looking around.
"You cannot see me, but I can do you a favor while you do me one" said the voice.
"What would you want from me?" asked Kana.
"I want the human girl, and you want to get rid of her" said the voice.
"All right, but why the sudden interest in the girl?" asked Kana.
"She was the reason for my death" said the voice.
"Very well you have a deal, when do you want her?" asked Kana.
"Tomorrow night I will wait for you in the garden, do it so nobody sees you" said the voice.
"Fine" said Kana with a smile plastered on to her face. 'Sesshoumaru will finally be mines'
Flashback
Kana smiled as she headed toward Rin's Chamber. Kana growled at how beautiful this human's chamber is, and how she has been living. 'When I get rid of you tonight I shall take this chamber' thought Kana with a smile. Kana came up to Rin's bed and saw her face. "Why would anyone every fall for you" asked Kana as she picked Rin up gently not to weak her. Not that Rin was heavy to begin with but, considering Kana was Youkai, she was stronger then normal human female. "Her smell is disgusting" said Kana as she walked out in to the garden. Kana walked deep in to the forest. "I have the girl" she said.
"Very well leave her here" said the voice.
Kana nodded and sat her down on the ground.
Rin just moved around a little before falling back to sleep.
"Stupid human" said Kana looking down at Rin's small form.
"You have served me well" said the voice.
Kana nodded again before heading back to the castle.
When Rin woke up, she had a bad headache, as if Jaken had hit her with his staff a hundred times.
"Where am I?" asked Rin looking around at her surroundings.
"You my dear are in my dome" said a creepy voice.
Rin pulled the sheets around her. "Who are you show yourself" said Rin even though inside she did not want to see who he was.
"You will see me soon my dear, you shall see your Lord die" said the voice.
'Sesshoumaru-sama!' thought Rin with wide eyes as tears began to trail down her face.
"But that is if he cares enough to come for you" said the voice.
'Oh please let him not care, I rather die then let him get hurt' was the only thing that went through her head. The voice laughed out before leaving her along once more. 'No Sesshoumaru-sama do not come...do not care...' thought Rin.
Sesshoumaru got dress as usual and the servant informed him that breakfast was ready. "Is Rin there?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"No, my Lord, I'll go and call her" said the servant before walking out.
Sesshoumaru headed toward the dinning hall expecting to see Rin's smiling face instead he saw Jaken sitting there.
"My Lord" he said.
Sesshoumaru just nodded. "Where is Rin?"
"She is not in her chamber" said the servant.
Sesshoumaru growled and got up to see if he could pick up her scent, her smell was hardly visible, but it was coming from outside the castle. Sesshoumaru walked out holding on to the Toukijin he smelled evil near by also.
"My Lord what of breakfast?" asked Kana.
"I'm not hungry" said Sesshoumaru heading out.
Kana just growled 'You think he'll just forget about that wrench' thought Kana.
Sesshoumaru followed Rin's smell in to the forest and found a piece of clothing that smelled like Rin. Sesshoumaru growled.
"Rin?" asked Sesshoumaru, then he smelled it, Rin's blood.
Sesshoumaru dashed towards the smell. It seems like forever to Sesshoumaru before he arrived at an abandoned castle. Sesshoumaru walked in cautiously.
"Rin?" he asked again.
"The great prince of the western land" said a voice.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes to see who it was.
"I see this human girl means quite a bit, I had to cut her a little so you could smell her."
Sesshoumaru's eye wonder around before it landed on Rin's small from captive in some kind of jewel and he saw the cut at her arm, but the blood did not spread around, it was frozen in place. "Who are you, show your self" said Sesshoumaru calmly, Sesshoumaru walked over to where Rin's body was being captive.
"I was wondering, if you were going to come to save her or not" said the voice as a form begin to appear.
The body that stood in front of Sesshoumaru was the form of a tall Youkai he had long flowing black hair and blood red eyes.
"Who are you?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"I am or should I say was your fathers best friend" said the Youkai.
"Why have you stole this human girl?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"I took a liking to her, she is quite beautiful, much like your half brother's mother was" said the Youkai. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes, "What you wish to do?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"I wish to kill you, and take her as my mate" said the Youkai.
"You say that you were my fathers best friend?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, your father was a fool, he had everything, yet he had to take the one thing that I wanted" said the Youkai with pure hatred.
"What was that?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"The human, she was nothing but pure beauty, and I have fallen in love with her, but she chose your father over me" said the Youkai.
"And you balm my father for this?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"I was the one to show him who she was, when she was at the lake bathing" said Sesshoumaru.
"I see" said Sesshoumaru.
"I wanted your brother's woman, but I could not get near her because of her power of the Shikon no tama" said Youkai.
Sesshoumaru stood there listing to this obsessed perverted bastard.
"But while I was watching you I saw her, her beauty marveled me" said the Youkai with lust in his eyes.
Sesshoumaru was getting very impatience with this Youkai. "How did you get on my land?"
The Youkai laughed "I did not have to do much, one of your servant wanted to out of there and offered to help me" said the Youkai.
Sesshoumaru greeted his teeth, "You have no right over her, she is my belonging" said Sesshoumaru.
"Well, your wrong you see, she isn't your mate, meaning that I can claim her as mine" said the Youkai.
Sesshoumaru wanted to kill him already. "I do not think she is the only thing you want" said Sesshoumaru.
"You are your fathers son, your right I want the western lands and that crystal" said the Youkai.
"The crystal?" asked Sesshoumaru stupidly.
"Your father was very wealthy, he found a crystal that had mystical powers"
"He never mentioned it" said Sesshoumaru.
"That is because, your father believe that it only responded with emotions" said the Youkai. "Your father was a fool" said the Youkai while laughing.
Sesshoumaru could not stand this Youkai any more so strike at him, the Youkai jumped out of the way in front of the crystal that held Rin captive.
"Your father was right about one thing, this crystal is mystical, it can give you immortality, wishes or protection, what ever you seek, this crystal could give it to you" said the Youkai standing against the crystal.
Sesshoumaru strikes again, this time cutting of an arm.
The Youkai smiled almost a sadistic smile, as if the pain was something he welcomed, "You wouldn't want to hurt her now would you?"
Sesshoumaru growled. What hell was he getting at? Why wasn't he fleeing already, this bastard really thought he could take his Rin?
"She is inside the crystal, and I control it I can give her life and take it way" said the Youkai.
"You wouldn't dare" said Sesshoumaru.
The Youkai laughed as Sesshoumaru saw Rin's body go limp and blood coming form everywhere. Sesshoumaru just stared at Rin for a while, something inside him screamed. "You will pay!" said Sesshoumaru running towards him with the Toukijin and chopping the head of the Youkai.
"I see now what your father meant about the emotion, but this is far from over" said The Youkai before his body just disappeared.
Sesshoumaru looked around before breaking the crystal to free Rin. As soon as Sesshoumaru hit it with the Toukijin the crystal split and water flowed out along with Rin.
"Gods what has he done to you?" asked Sesshoumaru taking Rin's wet form in to his arms. "Rin?" asked Sesshoumaru. "Rin!" said Sesshoumaru shaking her gently.
"The crystal can give you what ever you seek."
"Bring her back!" said Sesshoumaru as he held her cold form against him, for the first time Sesshoumaru experienced something, there was tears on his eyes, he was crying, and his heart screamed for Rin's.
"You won't know how much you care until she is gone."
"Don't leave me Rin" Sesshoumaru whispered in to her hair as more tears stung his eyes.
'Love is hard isn't it, and very painful' said the Youkai.
Sesshoumaru saw Rin's form in transparent only it was the Youkai spirit.
"Yes, is this how you wanted me to learn love, by feeling sorrow?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Youkai bent down and smiled at him, 'You had to learn of what love was first. Do you want to know what she thought of when she found out this Youkai wanted to kill you?'
"What?" asked Sesshoumaru.
'Oh please let him not care, I rather die then let him get hurt' was the only thing that went through her head. No, Sesshoumaru-sama don't come...don't care...was what she thought of as she cried her eyes out' said the Youkai.
"She wanted to die just so I wouldn't get hurt" said Sesshoumaru holding her tighter.
'You see now that she's gone, now you understand what love can do' said the Youkai.
Sesshoumaru heard her breathing.
'She is just sleeping, she will be for a while, take care of her, your fathers crystal was made for the very reason, the crystal saw how much love came from both of and it granted you your wish' said the Youkai.
"Thank you" said Sesshoumaru as he stood up with Rin's limp form and started back towards the castle.
Rin woke up and looked around, this didn't look like her room, but Sesshoumaru's. Rin turned toward the balcony window and saw the handsome figure standing there bathed in moonlight, as if he heard her he turned and was by her side in seconds pushing her down.
"Don't get up, your still hurt" said Sesshoumaru.
"I'm fine" said Rin pushing up anyway.
Sesshoumaru let her sit up.
"You saved me again, you keep saving me yet I can't do anything for you in return" said Rin looking down at her hands.
Sesshoumaru saw how the cool breeze played with her hair that fell across her face. "You have given me more then you could possibly think."
Rin shook her head, "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have had to fight him, I could have gotten you killed."
Sesshoumaru just watched as tears welled up at the corner of her face.
"I'm so sorry Sesshoumaru-sama" she said before threw her arm around him.
Sesshoumaru held on to her tight as if she was going to fade away. Rin finally pulled away and looked up at his golden eyes.
"How long have I been sleeping? And what happened to the cut that was on your face?" asked Rin reaching to touch one of his cheek.
"Seven days, and I heal fast" said Sesshoumaru.
"Seven days! Was I here in your bed?" asked Rin.
Sesshoumaru nodded, found her quite amusing, surely she knew that he healed fast, yet the concern on her face over a small cut made him want to smile.
"I sorry I must have consumed a lot of space. You probably didn't get to sleep well." said Rin blushing.
"Not at all, I slept fine, better then usual" said Sesshoumaru.
Rin looked up at Sesshoumaru-sama "maybe you should take a mate."
Sesshoumaru was surprised but didn't show it, was she implying that she is it?
"Kana-San would probably a good match for you, I mean she is beautiful" said Rin.
He couldn't believe that she was suggesting that he mate with Kana that one who detested her, she just surprised him just when he thought he had her figured out, "She can't compare to the beauty I already have."
Rin was confused and was about to ask what he meant, was there someone he had in mind, was there a Youkai lady who was waiting to be his mate? And if so will she like her?
Kana confidently walked in, "My Lord your tea."
Sesshoumaru took the cup and held it in front of Rin. "Drink, it will help heal some of your wounds."
Rin nodded before taking a few sips then pushing it away. Kana couldn't believe that he made her serve tea to a human, but what Sesshoumaru did next took both Rin and Kana by surprised. He also took a few sips before putting it down on the table next to his bed. Both Kana and Rin knew that Sesshoumaru didn't like others touching his food or anything at that yet, he let Rin drink from him.
"Sesshoumaru-sama I think I'll go to my chamber now, I have occupied your bed for long enough" said Rin getting up only to be pushed down by Sesshoumaru.
"You will sleep there from now on, I can't have you kidnapped again" said Sesshoumaru.
Kana growled softly which didn't go unnoticed by Sesshoumaru, while Rin just blushed and nodded.
"You may leave" said Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, my Lord" said Kana.
"The next time you try to harm Rin, I will kill you."
Kana gasped before walking out.
"But Sesshoumaru-sama she didn't hurt me" said Rin.
Sesshoumaru just gave her a frown. "She was the one that gave you to that crazy Youkai in the first place."
Rin just blushed at how stupid she seemed. "I really am sorry Sesshoumaru-sama."
"Why? You haven't done anything to displease me."
Rin looked down and that's when she noticed that she wasn't wearing anything but her white cotton gown, and everything was probably showing, from the sheerness of her the cloth, Sesshoumaru had seen her naked plenty of time, but it still didn't change the fact that she was still a young woman with morals, Rin pulled the covers around her.
Sesshoumaru just smiled at how Beautiful she looked. "You truly are beautiful." said Sesshoumaru as one of his clawed hands played with a strand of hair.
"So are you" said Rin.
"I don't want you to leave me, ever" said Sesshoumaru placed his hand under the chin of the woman before him and lifted her face to his. He felt her tremble as he bent forward and brushed his lips against hers.
He heard her soft voice whisper "Yes Sesshoumaru-sama" a moment before his lips claimed hers.
Rin gasped against the soft lips that covered hers. He was kissing her, she realized trying to still the wild beating of her heart. She returned the kiss and parted her lips beneath his. She felt the strong arms, that surrounded her, tighten as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and gently slid it against her own. Rin tangled her tongue with his as they lightly dueled for control. It felt so right and even better than the heated dreams that had disturbed her sleep.
She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him even closer. Sesshoumaru groaned and slowly released her willing lips. As he sat back he noticed that both of them were out of breath and Rin's lips were swollen and her face flushed. Gods he could see the desire burning in her eyes as she raised her eyes to meet his.
"Why..." she started and he answered her softly,
"I don't want you to belong to anyone but me" He said.
He watched as her eyes widened in surprise and felt his breath catch at her next question, "I do not belong to any but you, but why did you kiss me?" asked Rin.
"I wanted to do for so long now" said Sesshoumaru with a smile.
"Then why did you stop?"
Her words enflamed him and he could feel the burning desire he had for her surface under her questioning gaze.
Rin watched as his lips curved into a smile and gasped in surprise as he pulled her back into his embrace and covered her lips with his. He nibbled at her bottom lip, Rin never wanted it to stop.
She looked up at him as he gazed down at her with his fiery golden eyes. Rin reached out and pulled him back down against her and kissed him. She couldn't stop the soft moans that escaped her. Rin gasped out as he turned his head to the side and nibbled on her earlobe, moving his lips down the smooth column of her throat.
"You are the most beautiful thing I ever had" said Sesshoumaru against his kisses.
Rin moaned again. Sesshoumaru nuzzled his face at the hallow of her neck before taking a lick. Rin shivered. Sesshoumaru wanted her badly, but wasn't going just take her yet, she loves someone else doesn't she?
"Rin who is it that you love?" asked Sesshoumaru letting her go.
Rin looked up at him "You, and only you."
Sesshoumaru's whole world just seem to stop at her word, 'She loves me?' thought Sesshoumaru as his heart beat wildly. Sesshoumaru just pulled her to him and held on to her.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked again, but he did nothing but hold her she was going to be his and he'll make sure of it tonight...
