Good-byes Hurt Ch. 7

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Inuyasha and the other characters in the series that Rumiko Takahashi created for me to play with. Although, Kuramae Kasimati is mine!
A/N: Sorry for the long wait, finals are on their way and I'm trying to focus on school. This chapter is longer than most, so hopefully, you'll all like it. A heads up to those of you who enjoy my stories, I'll eventually be posting another Sess/Kag and an Inu/Kag, when I have time to get around to it. Ano..., please ignore any spelling errors you may come across. Arigatou!
Rin began to blush as Sesshoumaru got closer and closer to her. Stroke after stroke, she came closer to the wall behind her until she and the wall were one.
Sesshoumaru's face was merely an inch from hers. His inner-youkai going mad because of how close he and the enticing female across from him was.
Rin watched as Sesshoumaru's eyes began to change to pink; his eyes growing darker and darker.
Sesshoumaru looked at Rin's left shoulder which held a scratch from his blade. He leaned closer and began to lick the blood from the wound.
Rin nearly melted as she felt his warm tongue on her wound, lapping up the little blood that was left. Shaking her head, she gently let her sword drop and placed both hands gently on Sesshoumaru's shoulders.
" Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked.
Sesshoumaru stopped his ministrations and rested his head in the crook of her neck.
" Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked again.
" What is it, Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked, keeping his forehead down on her shoulder.
" Ano... are you... okay?" Rin asked as a blush began to cross her face.
Sesshoumaru smirked as he heard her voice waver.
" Hai Rin, I am fine." Sesshoumaru said as he turned away from her, although he thought 'No, I am not okay.'
As he walked over to the dojo's door he paused and said, " You may retire to your room." Without waiting for a reply, Sesshoumaru left, leaving a confused and flustered Rin behind.
Rin watched as Sesshoumaru's figure faded from her sight. Feeling her knees buckle, Rin quickly plopped down to the ground. Slowly, she lifted her hand to the tingling wound on her left shoulder, closing her eyes she began to remember the feel of his warm tongue on her. 'It felt so good... NO! Bad Rin! It's Sesshoumaru-sama! Exactly, it's Sesshoumaru-sama.'
Banging her head once against the wall, she groaned at her predicament.
Sesshoumaru fared no better than Rin did. Soon after the training session with Rin, Sesshoumaru found himself pacing in his study and, unfortunately, thinking about the situation that had just happened with Rin.
'What the hell is wrong with me! To do that to a ningen! Why! Because you like her. Nani! You. Like. Her. This Sesshoumaru has vowed to never take a liking to ningens. Then why did you resurrect the little girl who gave you food and water? . . . Pity, maybe? This Sesshoumaru does nothing out of pity! Then what! What was it that made you ressurrect her? . . . Because, deep down in that frozen heart of your's, you loved her. And you know that or else Tenseiga would not have allowed it. Tenseiga told me to. Tenseiga made you aware of your feelings.' (A/N: Gomen, I began to rant... heh)
Sesshoumaru stopped his pacing and shook his head. 'Feelings are for the weak. I am not weak.' (A/N: If only I could smack him and Inuyasha upside the head...)
The other voice that had been pestering him must have finally given up trying to convince him, for he heard it no more. Sitting behind his desk he began to continue his work going through documents from the other Lords had sent him.
Eventually, Rin got up and walked out of the dojo. She looked up at the sun and noticed it was starting to become dusk. She slowly dragged her feet to the indoor hot spring and gave herself a quick bath.
Back in her room and dressed in a simple dark green kimono she heard a knock at her door.
" Hai?" Rin asked.
" Rin! You're running late!" Jaken yelled through the door.
Hearing some muffled cursing and ruffling, Jaken edged closer to the door and was immediately trampled over as Rin ran out the door.
" Gomen, Jaken-sama." Rin yelled over her shoulder.
Quickly rounding the corner, Rin slowed herself down, not wanting a repeat of what happened last time and especially after what happened earlier today.
Stopping just before she came to the door, she smoothed out a few wrinkles on her kimono and walked through the huge doors only to see her plate set up and no Sesshoumaru-sama.
Rin frowned as she ate dinner in silence. 'Why isn't Sesshoumaru-sama here? Is it because of earlier today?' Those questions kept bouncing around inside her head as she finished dinner and proceeded to go back to her room.
Moments after she arrived in her room, she heard a knock on her door.
" Hai?" Rin said.
" It is I, Kasimati Kuramae, trainer of the soldiers of the Western Lands."
Opening the door, Rin saw a gorgeous youkai that looked as if he were an inu-youkai. He had long brown hair held in a high ponytail, and lightly tanned skin. His face held no markings that showed him to be of nobility, but he had piercing green eyes, high cheek bones, and thin lips. ( A/N: Anyone wanna guess who he looks like?)
" Mi'lady?" Kuramae asked again.
" Huh?"
With a light chuckle Kuramae said again, " Sesshoumaru-sama has placed you in my care to train you from now on. Is that acceptable?"
" H-hai." Rin stuttered softly.
" Until tomorrow, mi'lady." Kuramae said as he bowed low.
Rin blushed lightly as Kuramae left. 'He's very . . . Handsome? Hai, handsome. Wait! Oh, no, no, no, no, No!' Rin thought as she placed her hands on both sides of her head, shaking it back and forth. 'I did not just think Kasimati-sama was handsome!'
Putting on a yukata, she quickly hopped into bed, nervous of what would happen tomorrow.
Sesshoumaru sighed heavily as he looked out the window in his study. 'Perhaps, if I distance myself from her, these . . . urges will go away. Hopefully, assigning Kasimati to Rin will be a good idea.'
