The next day you wake with Rin's big eyes staring at you. You rub you're eyes and recall the events of last night, you quickly look over you're right shoulder to see no one. You were so shocked to see that no one was there, Sesshoumaru wasn't sitting next to you and he didn't have you in his arms. You breathe out slowly as the shock disappears and you're eyes turn back to Rin.
Rin: Mizuki can we go play in the river today?
You: maybe Rin, once I've washed and gotten dressed.
Rin: dressed into what?
You: well…I…am.
Sesshoumaru: you will wear this. You heard Sesshoumaru say from behind you.
You stand up and face Sesshoumaru who is holding the top of you're light pink kimono in his hands.
Rin: my lord, you have you're left arm back.
Sesshoumaru: yes Rin, now take Mizuki to get changed.
He throws you the kimono then turns around and walks to a tree and stands against it. You walk past him into the forest and start to change into you're kimono, as you do different thoughts are running around inside you're mind.
Did Sesshoumaru really embrace me last night or was it just a dream? No it wasn't dream because he's got his left arm still.
Did he really care for me or was I just some person he thought he could ensnare with his beautiful eyes and silver hair and his tall figure. Maybe I should ask him!
As you thought this Sesshoumaru walks up behind you, you get startled and scream. Sesshoumaru jumps back and shields his eyes not knowing if you were dressed or not. But luckily you were!
You: Sesshoumaru what are you doing here?
Sesshoumaru: Rin is becoming impatient so I came to get you.
You: and you didn't care if I was dressed or not.
As you said these words that same thought came back into you're mind. Maybe I should ask him if he cares about me. He looks at you with a confused expression.
Sesshoumaru: hurry up and get back to Rin she is complaining a lot.
He turns his back and walks off; you look at him and think to yourself.
You: then again something's are better left unsaid.
You pick up you're sword that you laid on the ground and walk back to camp. When you arrive you are greeted by Rin with open arms.
Rin: Mizuki can we now go to the river?
You: it's up to lord Sesshoumaru!
You gaze over at him as he was sitting with his back against a tree. He looks very cold and aggressive.
Sesshoumaru: go and take Rin to the river.
Rin: thank you lord Sesshoumaru!
You get one last look at Sesshoumaru before you are pulled away by Rin. She runs down to the river with you're hand in hers, she quite fast when she wants to be. As soon as you reach the river Rin doesn't waste any time on land, she dives straight into the river with a splash. You on the other hand only go in as high as your waist because today you didn't want you hair wet, it was washed last night so there was no need for it to get wet. Rin was swimming around like a fish, she looked so happy and joyful you couldn't help but laugh with happiness. Hours went by then Sesshoumaru walked out of the forest accompanied by Jaken. He stands straight and tall as the wind blows through his silver hair which then shines in the sun light. You couldn't help but look at him with amassment.
Sesshoumaru: Jaken take Rin back to camp.
Jaken: yes my lord. Rin you heard lord Sesshoumaru now get out of the water or you'll shrivel up like a prune.
Rin: alright master Jaken. Rin says this in a disappointed voice.
She gets out and walks back with Jaken. You watch them disappear through the forest, then you're eyes turn to Sesshoumaru who was taking off the top of his Kimono and his boots. You're eyes widen in surprise as he dives into the river right next to you. A huge wave of water crash over your head and socks you to the bone. You stand up drenched with water with an angry look upon you're face. You then turn you head to Sesshoumaru who was just surfacing above the water, he has a cheeky grin on his face.
Sesshoumaru: Sorry, did I get you? He says this with a smirk.
You: you bloody well know you did Sesshoumaru. You say angrily.
Sesshoumaru: Well now that you're wet, why don't you come and join me?
You: are you crazy why on earth would I come and join you now?
Sesshoumaru: because I want you to.
You: well no thanks I am going to just sit here and relax.
You sit down in the water and turn you head away from Sesshoumaru. The water is now around you're chest because you're sitting on the river bed, you turn you're eyes slowly over at Sesshoumaru who was now walking towards you, you turn them away again.
You: what do you want Sesshoumaru?
Sesshoumaru: I want you to join me!
You: well there's no chance of that happening, the only way I would join you is if I was thrown into the river.
Sesshoumaru: fine then if that's the only way you will join me.
You: what?
He walks up behind you and picks you up, you struggle to get free but he holds you tighter and carries you deeper into the river.
You: Sesshoumaru let me go!
Sesshoumaru: gladly.
With that he throws you out into the water. You surface quickly and breathe in deeply. You look up at him, he was laughing. As you see this you start to think.
He's not looking; right I get him for this.
You dive down under the water at his feet; you take hold of his ankles and pull them up from under him. You surface to see him lying on his back with a surprised and annoyed look on his face; you start to walk back to the rivers edge laughing. The water is up to your knees when you look back to see that Sesshoumaru's gone. You turn you're head back around to see Sesshoumaru standing in front of you, you get startled and lose you're balance then fall back into the water. You look up at him with a blank expression.
You: what the hell do you think you're doing?
Sesshoumaru: This!
With his speed he quickly bends down and Kisses you on the lips, you're about to kiss him back when you relies what he's doing. You quickly pull yourself away with a shocked expression.
You: what the hell are you doing?
Sesshoumaru: kissing you isn't it obvious.
You: well I don't want to be kissed like that.
Sesshoumaru: well how do you like it, maybe across the neck?
With those words he lunges himself at you and kisses you on the neck, a tingle run down you're spin before you could get away.
You push him off you and stand up looking confused.
You: what is wrong with you, you keep changing you're personality.
Sesshoumaru: what do you mean?
You: last night you embrace me and you're all nice and sweet, then this morning you acted so cold, like you wanted nothing to do with me. And now you're all over me and trying to kiss me, what is with that?
Sesshoumaru: I see that you only want me to be one way, am I right?
You: yes, I don't mind you kissing me as long as you care for me.
Sesshoumaru: I do care for you but…
You: but you don't love me is that it?
Sesshoumaru: no, I just don't want Jaken and Rin to find out.
You: why? Because you think that I will embarrass you or something.
Sesshoumaru takes hold of you're arms and holds them tightly, he looks at you with his gleaming eyes.
Sesshoumaru: no, it's not like that! He says in a soft voice.
You: then what is it?
Sesshoumaru: I have to keep up my reputation.
You: and what exactly is you're reputation?
Sesshoumaru: I am meant to hate half breeds and humans. But I don't hate you, the fact that you can fight Naraku and live to tell about it is amassing and for that I can't hate you; more or less I love you.
You're eyes widen at these words.
You: you love me?
Sesshoumaru: in deed I do, but do you love me in return.
You: How can you fall in love with in such a short time?
Sesshoumaru: the fact that I can fall in love at all is most bizarre but I will not waste this feeling so I need to know, do you love me?
You: well I'm not shore, with each time you say that you love me my heart beats harder and harder, it's hard to hear what its saying. But I…I can't.
With those words you push him out the way and run back through the forest to camp. When you return to camp you try consistently to lower you're breathing and you're heart beat, Rin runs to you're side and hugs you tightly.
Rin: Mizuki I'm so glad that you're back.
You: yes I'm back Rin.
You bend down on you're knees and hug her back, as you hug her you hear her stomach grumble you stand up and look down at her. You then turn you're head towards Jaken.
You: Jaken I want you to go with Rin and find her something to eat!
Jaken: huh…I don't take orders from half breeds like you.
You: Jaken if you don't do as I say I will…
Sesshoumaru: you will what? Sesshoumaru voice bellows from behind you.
You: I will beat him senseless!
Sesshoumaru: Jaken do as Mizuki says and go with Rin to find food!
Jaken: Yes…yes my lord, come on Rin hurry up.
Rin: coming!
Jaken starts to walk off into the forest with Rin behind him, you watch them disappears through the trees then turn around and walk to a small fire that Jaken has made. You sit by it and rub you're arms trying to keep warm, you're body is still wet with the water from the river. Sesshoumaru walks behind you and places his fluffy boa around you're neck, you turn you're head to him and give a plain expression.
You: why are you doing this?
Sesshoumaru: because you'll catch a cold if you don't keep warm.
You: I can keep myself warm; I don't any help from you.
You take off his boa and hold it out to him; he just looks at it then you. He sits down next to you and places it around you're neck again.
Sesshoumaru: just wear it, stop being so stubborn.
You: I'm not being stubborn!
Sesshoumaru: Yes you are, now stop arguing and warm yourself up or I will.
You: I don't need you're help.
Sesshoumaru: that's it, if you won't warm yourself then I will.
He place his arms around you're waist and pulls you onto his chest, where he is now hugging you and rubbing you're arms. You pull yourself away from him and stand up looking at him with one of those outraged looks.
You: what do you think you're doing?
Sesshoumaru: warming you up, what do you think I was doing?
You: I thought you were feeling me up!
Sesshoumaru: would you like me to do that instead.
You: no thanks. You say backing away slowly.
You turn around and start to walk away into a filed that was just beyond the camp. You hear Sesshoumaru stand up.
Sesshoumaru: where do are going.
You: I'm going to sit in the filed.
Sesshoumaru: then I'm coming with you.
You: no I want to be by myself and besides why would you want to come with me anyway?
Sesshoumaru: I want to come just in case you get into trouble, then I can protect you.
You: I don't need you're protection remember I can look after myself, I've got Konsaiga with me.
Sesshoumaru: fine I will wait here.
You: thank you.
After that you continue to walk out into the filed, you sit yourself down it the middle and let the wind blow its self on you, you find this very soothing. You've been sitting there for quite sometime you watched the sun as it disappeared behind the trees, the moon is now out and full. The sky and filed are dark, the only source of light comes from the moon and stars. You hear footsteps behind you; they are becoming louder with every step they take closer. You sit there frozen, you feel a strong hand places it's self on you're shoulder. You look down at it and with out notice you body acted on its own, you're mouth opens and these words escape. "SESSHOUMARU HELP ME"!
As these words die down in the filed you hear laughing behind you. You start to stand up to face this person but you are pushed back onto the ground and are pined down. As the shock vanishes from you're eyes you notice the face of the person that has pined you to the ground.
You: Sesshoumaru. You look at him angrily as you say this.
How dare you scare me like that?
Sesshoumaru: It seems that you do need me after all.
You: what I don't need!
Sesshoumaru: really?
You: yes really!
Sesshoumaru: then why did you call for me to help you?
You: me body acted on its own, I didn't really want you're help.
Sesshoumaru: yes you did, I could hear it in you're voice. What was it that you yelled out again Sesshoumaru help me wasn't it.
You: why you selfish, no good, despicable, lying, two timing son of a….
Sesshoumaru: watch that tongue of yours Mizuki or I mite just use it to my pleasure.
You: what do you mean pleasure?
Sesshoumaru: this?
He leans in closer and kisses you again right on the mouth but this time he tries to place his tongue in there. You manage to push him off you but with great difficulty.
You: What do you think you're doing?
Sesshoumaru: Ow yes how could I have forgotten, so sorry you don't liked to be kissed like that do you. You like it around you're neck. Those words sent shivers down you're spin; you turned around and started to run back to camp. It was so dark that you couldn't see were you where going, you trip over a lager stone that was sticking out of then ground. You hit the ground with a thud; you gaze up to see Sesshoumaru in front of you. He bends down and pins you to the ground again, he leans closer and closer until he was and an inch away from you neck, he smiles then kisses you. You feel tingles running down you're body; he stops and looks at you. You know that he felt them too.
Sesshoumaru: now I see why you ran, you don't want to give in to you're desires.
You: then let's see how you react to them. You gather up all you're strength and flip over Sesshoumaru so he's the one being pined to the ground. You look him in the eyes and you can see fear welling up inside him. You give an evil smirk then race into kiss him on the left side of his neck. He gives off a more powerful tingle then you. You raise you're head to look at him but are only push away. He stands up and turns his back towards you. You look at him just standing there, the wind gently blow through his hair as you started to laugh.
You: so that's your…your…
Sesshoumaru: my what? He says worried.
You: your weakness! With you're answer you burst out laughing. The laughter is too much to bare, you fall to the ground holding you're sides for they were in pain from laughing so hard. After you manage to clam yourself down you stand up and face Sesshoumaru.
You: looks like I've found out you're biggest and darkest secret. I promise that I won't tell a living soul.
Sesshoumaru: good, because if my enemies like Naraku found out I would have problems.
You: yeah I'm sure you would, as if Naraku would kiss you like that. As if you would even allow Naraku that close to you.
Sesshoumaru: Naraku is a despicable demon, I'm pretty sure that he would do anything to destroy his enemies.
You: yeah but he wouldn't kiss you like I did, would he?
Sesshoumaru: I don't know he may even go further.
You: what! He isn't that disgusting, is he?
Sesshoumaru: yes he is, now do you see why no one must know.
You: yes I do, I promise that I won't tell anyone.
But that doesn't mean I can't use this to my advantage and have a little fun.
Sesshoumaru turns around walks past you in the direction of camp.
You call out his name as a part of you're plan. He turns around and faces you.
Sesshoumaru: what is it?
You: I just want to have some fun!
Sesshoumaru: what do you mean fun?
You: this!
You jump on him and pin him to the ground, you lean in and kiss him on the neck. You feel those same powerful tingles running down his spin, you kiss him again and again with each kiss the tingles grow more powerful. He can't take anymore, he rolls you over so that he's the one pinning you to the ground. He kisses you on the neck and you're whole body trembles with pleasure. You roll him over so that you are on top of him again; you give him another kiss before he rolls you over again. You both were having so much fun torturing one another with pleasurable kisses that you didn't notice you were back at camp.
We must have rolled all the way here with out noticing it.
Sesshoumaru was pining you to the ground when you both stopped rolling around. You look up to see both Rin and Jaken staring at you.
Sesshoumaru's eyes turn from Rin and Jaken to you. He whispers down at you so only you can hear.
Sesshoumaru: go along with what I'm about to do!
You whisper back. What? With that he slaps you right across the face.
Sesshoumaru: How dare you insult me like that you worthless half breed. Who do you think you are? And what gives you the right to talk to me like that.
You: I'm really sorry I won't do it…
You were cut off with another slap across the face.
Man, I know that he's only pretending but he doesn't have to hit me that hard.
Sesshoumaru: you will speak when spoken to understand?
You: yes my lord.
He gets up off you and stands next to Jaken.
Jaken: what on earth did this pitiful half breed say to get you so upset my lord?
Sesshoumaru with his quick thinking came up with a fake answer.
Sesshoumaru: she insulted my father!
Jaken: did she my lord? I'm surprised that you haven't ripped off her bloody head.
Sesshoumaru: trust me Jaken I was considering it.
Rin runs to you're side and helps you to you're feet. You walk over to a large tree and sit down against it. Rin sits next to you and snuggles into you're side. She lowers her eye lids and drifts into a deep sleep.
After you were sure that she was asleep you gently place her head on the ground. You walked past Jaken who was snoring in his sleep, not only that he had a bubble of boggy that got bigger and then smaller with every breath he took. You sat down in front of the fire that was burning brightly, you placed you're hands out in front of you to warm them. You turned you're head to the left to see Sesshoumaru sitting down next you, his eyes were full of life and power.
Sesshoumaru: sorry about before, when I slapped you I mean.
You: that's alright I know you were just trying to cover up our little game that we were playing. That game was quite funny; I've never thought that rolling and kissing could be such fun.
Sesshoumaru: You really are very beautiful in the moon light Mizuki.
You: there you go, you had to go and ruin the moment didn't you.
Sesshoumaru: what do you mean?
You: you ruined it with all that you're so beautiful nonsense.
Sesshoumaru: it isn't nonsense, you really are beautiful.
You: you're only saying that because you think that's what I want to hear.
Sesshoumaru: I'm only saying the truth.
You: you're trying to make me feel love for you.
Sesshoumaru: no I would never do a thing like that; I want you to feel love for me in your own time.
You: well you'll have to be patient because I'm not sure if I can even love you.
He places his hands on yours and stares into you're eyes.
Sesshoumaru: I won't force you to love me but I would be very happy if you could.
You: I bet you would Sesshoumaru. All men want the same thing.
Sesshoumaru: really please tell what that is.
You: you all want women that you can control and have you're way with. I'm not that kind woman and I refuse to be controlled.
You pull you're hands away from his and turn you're head back to the fire. You hear him give a slit laugh so you turn you're head back to him.
You: what's so funny Sesshoumaru?
Sesshoumaru: nothing, it's just now I know why I love?
You: why do you love me?
Sesshoumaru: I love you because you are just like a full demon.
You: what do you mean?
Sesshoumaru: female dog demon don't like to be controlled, they will obey there mates but still demand respect. That's how a pair of dog demons works. The male marks the female by biting them on the neck…
You: what you bite you mates on the neck?
Sesshoumaru: not too hard just hard enough to leave two fang marks, this symbolizes that you are already taken by a male so if any other males wants to claim you as his he can't.
You: why not?
Sesshoumaru: because all males make a mark in the same stop. It's on the right side of the neck just below the middle. That way if a female has been marked she can't be remarked.
You: man, you demons have a lot of rules don't you?
Sesshoumaru: yes I guess we do.
You: is there anything else that you love about me or is that it?
Sesshoumaru: I love everything about you. The way you are so persistent and refuse to give up, the way you demand respect from others. The way you understand children so well and the way you laugh, it sends happiness straight to my heart. When I see you smile my heart longs for you're love and I feel that I would do almost anything to earn you're love.
You: you're not like most men are you Sesshoumaru?
Sesshoumaru: I Sesshoumaru am not like anyone.
You: that's what I mean, you will do anything to get what you want won't you.
Sesshoumaru: then what can I do to show you that I love you.
You: there's nothing you can do because I already know that you love me. I just need to make sure that I'm not making a huge mistake because like you said once I woman has been marked she can't find another mate and I want true love not a fling in the forest. How do I know that once you've marked me you won't hurt or abuse me?
Sesshoumaru grabs you're arms and holds you so that you face him.
Sesshoumaru: look into my eyes Mizuki, can you see anything in there that mite hurt you.
You: how would I be able to see anything like that in them?
Sesshoumaru: because the eyes are the window to the soul and by looking into my eyes you can see that in my soul there is nothing that could possibly harm you.
With those words you hug him and start to cry on his shoulder.
You remove you're head and wipe away the tears that were about to fall down you're checks; you look up at Sesshoumaru who was looking down at you. He smiles at you and with his amber eyes you can see that he really loves you. You place you're left hand on the back of his head and gently pull his head down to meet yours. You lower him into a deep passionate kiss with you. Of course he had no complains. As you kiss he wraps his arms around you're waist and embraced you. You break the kiss and stare at him with love in you're eyes, he stares back at you with the same feeling in his eyes.
You: Sesshoumaru I can't explain how I feel but I guess that I…
Sesshoumaru: shh…you don't have to tell me how you feel; I can see it in you're eyes.
You: thank you.
You unwrap his arms then stand up, you turn you're head in his direction and give him a short smile before walking back to Rin. You walk back past Jaken who was still snoring with the boggy bubble up his nose. As you get to Rin you lay yourself down next to her and fall asleep with her in you're arms. Sesshoumaru just watches over you as you sleep.
