Chapter 5 : The visitor from the north.

It was late, when Sesshoumaru retreated back to his study. He had called Rin to him then.

"How was your day my Lord?" She chirped in, kneeling before a high platform, where Sesshoumaru had sitted himself. Everywhere lay scrolls and brushes. Rin could tell Sesshoumaru was not in a good mood by his face. She removed her scarf and smiled up at him. "My Lord?"

"Koi. (Come)" He said.

She knew already what he wanted. She walked up to him and sitted herself behind, her knees falling on the tatami mat he was sitting on. She stretched her fragile fingers, than, she pulled his long hair in her hands, buried her face in a quick move before letting it fall on his left shoulder. Rin started working her fingers on his tense muscles. She felt him relaxed after awhile.

Flashback

Sesshoumaru sat down quickly.´Damn that halfbreed!´ Stepping at his back like that. He felt it ache when he moved on his side. That was the most embarassing thing that happened to him well apart from his missing arm. Being stepped on from his little brother….. but he did won in the end. Rin kneeled beside him again, calling for him, asking him if he was okay.

"Yes." He answered automatically. Of course HE WAS NOT OKAY!

Rin dragged his hand over her cheeks. "Should I ease the pain?" She had asked him back then.

He could still remember the things that flooded his mind by that sentence. Not innocent ones, might I add.

He thought for awhile and didn't answer. Rins hands fell on his shoulders, her small hands tightening on them and stroking it. It was heard to concentrate with him facing her. She nearly blushed but somehow, he read her mind and automatically shifted himself, his back now in front of her. She smiled, honored that she can provide something he needed.

Although he did not ask her to. But she knew him too well. He was too proud to ask for help, to show feelings or even the slightest sign of weakness.

It was a strong temptation he had loss in. Sesshoumaru pulled her hand over his chest. Rin, could feel herself not being able to breath. "Sess…sama?" She stuttered, she followed his movements and rested her head on his shoulder. Burying her head on neck and inhaling his scent. It smelt like grass and wood. Just like the forest. There was something she cant identify that was mixed with it though, somehow spicy. But she liked it all the same, because it´s Sesshoumaru´s. They stayed that way for long minutes, noone daring to break the contact. Rin was so happy, it is not often that she gets this slight emotion showing from him. It was something that only existed in her small dream world.

Noone expected that someone will ruin it. Not until…..

Jaken stumbled in.

Rin stood up immediately. Her face red and lips trembling with fright. Somehow, she feared that someone might see this side of Sesshoumaru.

Jaken didn't notice her. He was too busy staring at two glaring amber eyes. "What is it?" He asked, with his usual deadly tone.

"Visitor, from the north." He gulped. "Sessh…" Before he could even finish. Someone already stepped on him.

"Ritsuko." Sesshoumaru called. Standing up. Rin stayed behind him, peeking at the attractive demoness from time to time. The demoness ran a hand over her blond hair, ocean blue eyes shot high, onto Sesshoumaru´s direction, she smiled seductively.

Rin felt something stirred inside her, painfully pinching her chest. This demoness is much more attractive, sexy and strong than she would ever be…… and much more suitable as a mate for a Lord.

"Sesshoumaru!" She stepped forward, releasing Jaken from her feet. Something caught her attention and she started sniffing the air. "Smells like human here." She told him.

Sesshoumaru gave her an and-so-look. Rin stepped from behind him, showing herself to the ice demoness.

"Hello" She greeted, bulging from it´s sockets.

Ritsuko´s surprised look disappeared and then it caught evil blazes. "I have a lot of heavy baggages. Could you carry it outside my room, human?"

"She is….." Jaken started.

"Name your business." Sesshoumaru roared.

Ritsuko ignored his comment. "What are you waiting for?" She asked, eyes still resting on Rin.

Rin paused, than made her way to the door before Jaken.

"Stay Rin." Sesshoumaru commanded. She stopped on her tracks and turned to look at his angered expression on the demoness. "She is no maid." He informed her.

Rin stared at him for a moment, before realizing the fact that he had just protected her pride. She stared at the eye battle that was happening between the two demons. Ritsuko was the first to blink and she sigh in defeat, another playful smile twisted her lips.

"Sesshoumaru, arent you going to welcome an old friend?" She asked.

"This Sesshoumaru apologizes for his behaviour, Ritsuko."

"Non of that matters, not like I´m not accustomed to your moods." She laughed.

Rin felt this pain again, slightly pinching her from inside. Was that jealousy? She had to admit, this woman does disturb her, but the fact that they have a bigger past together, disturbs her more. ´Why does she have to be here?´ She thought to herself. She doesn't want to have any other female creatures, if human or demon drooling over Sesshoumaru. ´What am I thinking? It´s not like I claimed him or something.´ She snorted loudly, which earned a glance from Jaken.

´This girl is so strange sometimes.´ Jaken thought shaking his head.
