Chapter 21

No more Mr. Nice Guy

I paced.

And when I said I paced, I mean I paced so hard I could've broke the floor from all my pacing.

Sesshomaru kind of moved with me, growling a little bit more loudly each time I decided to repeat my pacing action. Yes, I forgot he hated people who paced. But I couldn't help it! Kagura knew who my little 'Anonymous' friend was and I wanted to know who. I wanted to strangle her until I got an answer. I wanted to punch her in the face until she gave me an answer…okay, maybe not, because she might be knocked out cold, then I wouldn't be able to get an answer. Either way, it was bugging me and even Sesshomaru too.

Yes, Sesshomaru was about to pounce on her when she walked away. When she slapped me, I knew he wanted to claw her eyes out and kill her, but I stopped him. I didn't need a blood bath in front of me. Besides…blood makes me squeamish.

I shook my head, trying to run solutions in my mind, but each one coming out the same—Sesshomaru and his claws. There had to be something that didn't involve his claws.

"Rin, stop pacing. You are giving me a headache," he demanded in a cold voice.

I stopped and looked at him. "I can't. This is how I think."

"Makes sense on why you don't think often."

I glared at him and sighed, sitting on the bed. He sat beside me, and we landed in silence for about ten minutes until I finally spoke up. "That's it," I hissed, "no more Mr. Nice Guy."

He raised an eyebrow at me.

I stood up. "Kagura is trying to get under my skin. She wants to get me angry and see what I'll do, but guess what…I don't know what to do."

"You are the best revenge planner ever," Sesshomaru said.

Did he just use sarcasm on me? I didn't even know he could understand sarcasm. Interesting. "I'm serious, Takahashi. If she doesn't think I don't have a plan, then she'll think she has won and will move on."

"So… you do have a plan? This is a first."

"Of course I have a plan. It's simple, but we might as well say goodbye to our reputations. We actually might have a closer chance of finding out who exactly this stalker of mine really is if we do so. Besides, we are mates; the demon society of the school might know already, but the human…might as well let the cat out of the bag before I explode. I won't be able to hide it in a few months anyway, so what's the point of hiding it now."

He stood up with me. "One, you don't have a reputation. Two, you are right about the demons knowing about us. They might be almost as low as cockroaches but they do have a nose and higher senses. And three," a wall suddenly hit me and Sesshomaru's golden eyes pierced through me, "why didn't you tell me about the text message from Anonymous?"

How did he even get me backed up to a wall? I didn't even notice him until now. But there he was, standing…no towering over me. His white hair creating a barrier on either side of me. It was…I don't think creepy was the right word for this. I was actually a bit turned on…okay this had to be a pregnancy symptom right? Right?

"Answer me, Rin. Why didn't you tell me about the text message?"

I opened and closed my mouth, trying to say words. Speak dammit! Speak! "What…message?"

"The one you try to hide from me the other day!"

"What?"

He came closer until our noses were inches apart. "Don't play stupid, Rin. I am aware of that message. So much that I saw it on your phone. Now tell me why you didn't show me!"

This was…so sudden. How did we end up like this? No matter, I was in the middle of it now.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, figuring out a good reason for him. Wait…I did have a reason.

"Because I knew you wouldn't care," I whispered, my eyes suddenly feeling flooded. There I said it. Wait, was I crying? Why was I crying? Gods dammit, stop these tears from falling! You are stronger than this, Rin! "What's the point of telling you when you don't even care about me or the baby?"

"And what makes you think I don't care?"

"I've known you for years to know what you're like. And I know that there is nothing inside of you that truly cares." I shrugged. "Us being mate…it doesn't mean anything to you. There's no emotion, there's no evidence that you really care about us. I'm the only one that…." I stopped myself before I said the 'f' word. Yes, I mean 'feelings', what did you think I meant?

"If you don't think I don't care about you or the child then you are severely wrong. I may hate being handcuffed together, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I marked you as my mate for a reason. And no, it's not because you're pregnant with my child, although part of it may be because of that, I marked you because…" his clawed finger ran down my cheek. "…there's something about you."

Did he just…? My breath was caught by his words. Was that his way of saying he…? Before I knew what was happening, his face drew closer to me until our lips were mere millimeters apart. Then our lips brushed against each other's.

First the kiss felt so calm and soft, but soon became urgency for more. My legs started to shake and I was afraid I might fall. Sesshomaru's left hand held onto my right, pinning it against the wall, as my other hand wrapped around his neck, tangling into his hair. His hand pulled me closer to him until no space was left between us. I could feel a slight bulge from my stomach when I hit his hard abs, creating a bit of a barrier to get closer to him. I smiled, and he took this opportunity to snake his tongue into my mouth. He tasted so good, I wanted more and more. I moaned loudly into his mouth as an indication that I was hungry for seconds. This kiss…this kiss was so full of lust, desire, passion…and even love. It was the best kiss of my life. I wished this was our first.

Everything in this kiss, every word he didn't say was hidden in this kiss. This demon, this man, cared. He cared more than I realized. I didn't need words. This was all I needed. And I wanted him to scream them out to me more. I wanted him more than I ever wanted something in my life.

I felt him pulled away and move down my neck. My breaths came out as rhythmic outburst of air. I closed my eyes, feeling the gentle nips and kisses at my skin. Then he kissed my mark and everything flashed. I gasped out in surprise, whimpering for more and more.

"Rin…" he hissed above my lips. "…do you want me?"

I nodded.

"Do you…yearn for me?"

I nodded.

"Do you…love me?"

I paused and pulled away enough to see the softness in his eyes. "Do you?"

He kissed me. "What a ridiculous question."

I smiled against his lips. "You asked me first."

He slammed his lips onto me, moving them against mine in a heated motion of desperation. And before I knew it, he had me on the bed, kissing my neck once again. My heart bounced in excitement, falling into absolute bliss. My mind wandered and any worries went out the window.

Until my phone rang of course.

Sesshomaru growled in my neck and I laughed. Pushing on him to get up. "It's probably Ayame. She said she would call me later today."

"Ignore the wolf. She'll understand."

"Yes, but she'll start to freak out and will keep calling. Now get off, you're heavy."

I grabbed my phone from the bag and didn't bother to look at the caller ID. It was Ayame, so no point.

But I was severely wrong.

"Hi, Ayame," I answered.

No answer. My smile disappeared.

"Hello?"

Heavy breathing. And my heart started to race.

"Who is this?"

More heavy breathing.

The phone was grabbed out of my hand and I heard Sesshomaru speak. "Who the hell is this?"

A moment of silence and Sesshomaru growled.

"Whoever this is, rest assured if you try do anything to Rin, I will find you and I will kill you."

He hung up after that.

I looked at him a bit shocked. "Nice reference."

He blinked at me with confusion. "What reference?"

I shook my head. "Never mind. But do you think that was…?"

"I'm sure it was." He looked through my phone. "But the number is blocked. However, we might still be able to track it."

"How?"

"Inuyasha. My half- brother took up a bit of a hobby a few years back. If you've seen his room, you'll see it's filled with more electronics than an electronic store."

I raised an eyebrow.

"What is it, Rin?"

"Nothing. It's just weird you speak about Inuyasha in a sentence without using 'half-breed'."

"He may be a half-breed, but he's useful. Unfortunately he's with that human girl of his and won't be back until tomorrow. I'll talk to him at school and demand he help us if Kagura doesn't tell us."

"Doubt it. Knowing her she'll just play and leave. But Takahashi…no blood bath, okay?"

Sesshomaru leaned close to me. "Rin, when you and our child's life are being corrupted, it's my job to make sure you are safe. And I'll do anything to do so. I don't want you to stress over this. It's not good for you or the child."

I gave him a small smile. "Okay, do what you can, and I'll play my part." I gave him a quick kiss. "But seriously, no blood. I'm not good around blood."

"Deal," he whispered. "Now, let me make you forget everything right now."

He flashed me to the bed, letting his hair drape over either side of me like a curtain, and crashing his lips onto mine. There was so much force and desperation in the kiss. But it still felt so passionate. I moaned deeply into his lips, letting our tongues dance together. My right and his left hand twined together as my other braided through his silver hair. Then I heard a loud rip of clothing and gasped out. He had ripped open my favourite blouse.

"Hey!" I muttered. "You're paying for that."

He then smirked at me and ripped my bra next. I shook my head at him.

"That too!" I blushed.

And he continued to kiss every part of skin on my face, making his way down my neck as his right hand played around with my breasts. I arched my back, and gasped in pleasure whenever his claw flicked a nipple. He made sure he kissed my mark before traveling down the valley of my breasts and giving them each attention. Through all of this, I was taken to Wonderland on a rainbow train. His fingers slid down to my navel and into the lower levels of my inner thighs. Another rip of my skirt and underwear mixed in with heavy breathing. I didn't even bother anymore. His kisses moved down, lingering a little more at my navel where Sesshomaru kissed it deeply, whispering a few words I couldn't hear and moving along in his journey to the treasure.

"You're so wet, Rinnnn," he hissed.

One more rip and I felt his hot tongue into my folds.

The exhilaration of his movements landed me into a pool of my own bliss. I felt so hot I couldn't take it another second. It was swelling deeply in my lower belly. I was about to explode.

"Come for me," he growled.

"Oh gods! Sesshomaru! I'm going to…AHHH!"

"So beautiful…so tasty…I want to taste you again, my beautiful mate."

He looked up at me like he was the predator and I his prey, but I wasn't going to let him win that easily.

Sweat rolled off me as I sat up, unbuttoning his shirt and throwing it aside. I hand rand down his stone hard abs, lingering over the nipples a little longer. I leaned forward and started kissing his pale skin, giving me a taste of him. He groaned as my hand lowered to the hardness under his pants.

"Stop," he hissed low.

I didn't and rolled him over until I was on top. I managed to pull his pants and boxers down to come face to face with his Holy Grail. I touched it, wrapping my hand around him and rubbing it up and down. His hands clenched the sheets and he whispered my name over and over. From my mark I could feel his rupture growing near. So I dug deeper, giving the tip of him a chaste kiss before concealing it in my mouth, moving up and down.

I dared to open my eyes and when I did; I saw his eyes blood red. His fangs had lengthened considerably. And his claws had ripped the silk sheets into pieces. I was in dangerous territory right now. But when I felt him release, he calmed down. I swallowed the substance in my mouth coming up and kissing him. He flipped me over, staring deeply into my own eyes and whispered, "Let us come together."

He pushed into me and I gasped. Waves crashed together as we held onto each other for dear life.

Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Sesshomaru kept going in rhythmic actions and just as we started together, we climaxed to the top of the mountain. He kissed me passionately as he pulled out and landed beside me.

My phone rang, but we ignored it altogether. There was nothing that was going to take our moment of sweet ecstasy away. We were both covered with sweat and both panting for air, but we were together and it was all that mattered.

xXx

We walked into school next morning hand in hand. If people were going to find out about us, might as well be now. We weren't going to let Kagura hold anything against us. She wasn't going to win.

Ignoring the whispers and stares from our fellow peers, we found Kagura around her usual posy of human-scared friends. Oh when they saw me, they ran like a couple of fish…wait. Fish don't run. Whatever. Kagura, however, kept her stand, her red eyes burning into me. She crossed her arms and smiled.

"Mmm…look who it is, a flee-infested dog and the weakest demon on the planet. Why are you two breathing my oxygen?"

Did she just call me a flee-infested dog? Wow, she was worse than me with names.

"We breathe the same oxygen. Realize this, you air-headed girl," Sesshomaru said.

Now that was a good one. I bit my lip to hold back a laugh.

I heard him sigh and saw her frown. "Enough of this," he started. "Tell me who Anonymous is and I won't try to kill you."

"No blood please," I muttered under my breath to him. Of course, he probably ignored me.

"Oh, I would, but you see," she looked at her nails, "I have a thing about liars. I mean, you did tell her about the bet right? For over a month, you acted like you loved her and then betrayed her by telling her it was all fake, and now look at her. She's pregnant with your baby. Then all of the sudden you mate her, and try and protect her, telling her you actually, really do love her?" She looked at me. "I mean, that does sound a little fishy, right, Rin?"

She clasped her hands together in a dramatic pose.

"And after he found out, he was all of a sudden by your side like your Prince Charming, and claiming everything was a lie and he really truly did care for you all this time!" She sighed like a love-struck teenager, and then changed back to her normal façade, looking back to Sesshomaru. "And you do remember the first night after you escaped those handcuffs, Sesshy. You and I had so much fun."

I swallowed, looking away from Sesshomaru and Kagura. Sesshomaru growled. "Silence your tongue and tell us!"

I looked back to Kagura to see her smiling at me. "Guess what, Rin, your little Prince Charming here told me the same thing he's probably told you. That he would protect you at all costs and would kill anything that tried to harm you. And what about his kisses? Are they full of lust and desire?"

My hands clenched into fists. Anger ran through my blood. In my head, I knew she was the liar, but another part of my brain said she was telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth. No…Rin…Kagura is lying. Wait…she was lying, I saw Sesshomaru that night. On a side note, she totally ignored Sesshomaru all together. She had guts I could give her that. But I didn't think she would have them for long.

In a flash, Sesshomaru has Kagura pinned up against the locker with his right hand. His eyes flashed red and I could swear there was green mist vaporizing off his hand.

"Do not mistake me as a fool, Kagura. I know quite well what you're up to. Don't think for a second you get Rin twisted in your little web of lies."

Then the green mist started to get bad. Her skin…it was disintegrating. I grabbed Sesshomaru's left hand and squeezed, shaking my head. He let her go and let her fall to the floor, gagging and covering the red skin. People were around us now. Her eyes were windows into Hell itself as she stood back up. Her breathing was heavy and ragged. And the air around me started to grow heavy and suffocating. I couldn't breathe.

I pulled Sesshomaru's arm as the air became thinner for me.

"Enough!" he snapped, the air around me turning back to normal. "Do not see me as an insignificant being, Kagura. I can crush you like a bug in seconds."

I breathed. "Listen, Kagura, just tell us who Anonymous is."

"So you want your little secret to be revealed then?" she said, her voice still rasped.

I shook my head. "I don't care anymore. Tell everyone. They'll find out eventually, so who gives a crap."

She clenched her teeth, probably because she wasn't getting her way. Then she started to laugh. "No."

"What?" Sesshomaru growled.

"If you want the whole student body to know about your secret, fine I don't care either. I'll let you be the one who tells. But I'm not going to tell you who Anoymous is. Where's the fun in that? I'll let you play the game on figuring it out."

She pulled out a fan from her purse then and hid part of her face.

"However, I will give you a hint. Anonymous is in this school right now. See you in Hell."

And with one swipe of her fan, a force of wind came in contact with us and she was gone, leaving papers and trash in the halls. I could hear the students behind us and Sesshomaru snarl at them to tell them to leave, but all I could do was stare at the spot she stood, wondering what would happen.

"Rin." Sesshomaru's voice hit my ears. "You should've let me kill her."

I didn't take my eyes away from the spot. My face turned emotionless. "No, then something would've happened to you and Anonymous would've won. If they want to play hide and seek, then we'll play."

My eyes narrowed.

"Game on, Anonymous."
