They were all seated around the table at the restaurant, and there were a fair few interesting things for an outside observer to take note of among the nuances of individual tension and expression.

Ayami was on cloud nine sitting next to Hakai, and Rin's eyes met with Kohaku's in a mutual smile at how overjoyed their friend looked.

But between Hakai and Akihiro was the oddest strain. The latter seemed to not know where to look when Hakai had sat down at the table, instead he focused on Kohaku, directing him a series of inane questions regarding his and Rin's friendship.

Hakai's gaze was narrowed on the college student with strange intensity, and Rin only noticed it when she dared glanced at That Person when she had finished a conversation with Ayami.

They made their orders and once the waiter had gone, it was up to Rin to ease the silence that had fallen.

'I'm glad you could all make it tonight instead of the weekend' she smiled at her new friend next to her, adding largely for Hakai's benefit; 'my mother became really sick and Akihiro-kun has been kind enough to transfer her to Tokyo tomorrow morning, and I'll be going with her. I'm hoping to be back by the end of the week'

'We're going to run some tests on her' Akihiro explained 'we believe it's just exhaustion, but it's best to be sure' the medical student looked for the first time with furtiveness at Hakai, hoping to Kami that he really wasn't a demon. But that person caught his gaze and there was such murder in his eyes that Akihiro balked.

'You better take good care of Rin while I can't be there' Kohaku said with mock haughtiness to Akihiro, and the college student laughed half-heartedly.

'There's no doubt about it' he replied 'Rin-san is definitely in good hands'

Akihiro noticed that the knife Hakai had been negligently holding was choked in his grasp, and even became bent. The demon however deftly hid it from view when he himself realised what he'd done. The med student became even paler and he brushed his hair back from his face.

'There's so much I need to do to repay you' Rin spoke softly to Akihiro 'I know I wouldn't have anywhere near the peace of mind without you're help'

Akihiro blushed slightly and Kohaku snorted.

'So, when's the wedding? I already hear the bells' He remarked drily, happy that the food was arriving.

'Kohaku-kun' Rin glared at her friend, 'if you're hearing bells you better get it checked out. I'm sure Akihiro-kun could help you'

Ayami giggled 'he's needed a head check for a while'

'Don't you start!' Kohaku shot at Ayami 'you're the one who said chocolate milk came from brown cows the other day. I wonder who has bigger problems?'

Sesshomaru was watching Rin's face – it flitted between smiles at her friends' banter, but there was a shadow of stress that generally overlay her features, and he knew she was very worried.
Periodically, his hazel gaze swung to Akihiro, enjoying the great discomfort he saw there – satisfied that the student had understood his true nature.
It was extremely bold of the boy to continue flaunting his interest in Rin before him, and the Demon thought it surprisingly foolish, even for a mortal, to entertain such a dangerous activity.

Rin's pretty dark eyes seemed to hold a kaleidoscope of emotion and the Demon watched as she would sigh softly to herself; her pretty pink lips parted slightly to allow dispelling of breath, and he envied the closeness that she had with Akihiro after merely a few days.

The note that his step-mother had sent him regarding King Midas intruded on his memory, and he could've thrown the plate of food he was not going to eat anyway across the damned restaurant. He'd been told that story since he was a child, and he knew it back to front. What had the foolish woman meant by sending him such affrontery?
Speaking of the colours of gold and blood, he could not think of two more pleasing combinations – apart from Rin's body under his own.
He glanced with steely eyes at her breasts that were encased beautifully in a beige dress, rising and falling with her shallow breathing that he could hear with each heartbeat.

He caught her gaze silently and watched as she quickly looked away; he saw her nipples harden through her tight-fitting clothes. Kami. He cursed inwardly, knowing he was hard at the wordless interaction.

But Izayoi had lost it entirely if she imagined she thought he had forgotten the tale of that foolish Greek King.
That human's mistake had not been in his wish to turn everything he touched to gold; his error had been in allowing his heart to feel weakness towards a human woman and desiring to touch her.

If he had not allowed himself to love in the first place, he would have remained powerful and fulfilled, glad and not regretful about his initial desire.
Being able to turn anything to gold with a mere touch was no misfortune. Love had been his downfall and the thing that caused him despair.

He knew Izayoi had brainwashed Inutaisho with all sorts of moralistic stories and tales of love being the strength behind the throne, but Sesshomaru was certain it was the other way around. With the absence of love only ever came an increase in power and wealth, unhindered by soft inclinations toward another creature.

His world was red and gold, and that was not going to change, even in his human confines.
Day by day he felt his beast tearing within him, restless to be let loose, and he felt as though the spell that bound him to this trial was breaking.
Even this nuisance woman named Rin, and his undeniable reactions to her, were not going to sway him from his course.

Sesshomaru caught Akihiro looking at him with weaselly narrowed eyes, as though studying him like a specimen, and the Demon smirked. This child needed to know where he stood.

'Excuse me, while I go to the bathroom' Akihiro interjected in their conversation, and he rose to find the restroom. Without a word Lord Sesshomaru also rose and fluidly followed the student to the back of the restaurant, to a hallway where the bathrooms were at the end of it.

Akihiro needed to take some time away from the brooding horror of being in that demon's presence. A silent exchange of glances had told him all he needed to know – that creature knew, and he was not happy.
As he turned the corner down the corridor to the bathrooms, Akihiro found himself swung round in a tight hold, backed suddenly against the wall, an iron-like hand around his throat.
Terrified, his dark eyes glared up in to narrow golden ones.

'Very brave' the demon drawled in a tone laced with poisonous pleasantry.

'Y – you – '

'Yes, me. Now' the Demon's fingers tightened around Akihiro's neck. 'You are going to give me a position at your precious hospital, or I'll tell those children out there what a fraud you are'

Akihiro felt anger surge through him.
'What the hell? You're the fraud, you foul beast! What is your purpose on earth?'

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed to slits and his one-sided smile showed a glint of a fang Akihiro swore he had never seen before.
'Apparently to threaten you' came the low growl.

'So – you don't deny it?' Akihiro choked through his words 'that you are – '

'A demon? No, I do not. Why would I wish to align myself with the likes of – ' Sesshomaru looked the student up and down with such loathing and repugnance that Akihiro turned a curious shade of green.

'I knew it' Akihiro managed a smug smirk 'you are a low vermin apparition, incapable of understanding finer things'

The strong hold became such that the student had to beg for air.

'Fine things are for weaklings unable to carry the weight of power.' The Demon Lord looked like a cat playing with a runt mouse. 'You think you are so magnanimous, without ulterior motive stepping in the breach to care for that girl's mother. But you don't even realise the extent of it.'

Akihiro looked with wide-eyed terrified question at his assailant.
'What do you mean?' He said, but the creature did not satiate his need to know what the hell-fiend knew.

'Your father will employ me at your hospital' the Demon demanded.

'Y-yes' he wheezed in response, unable to get out any other word due to the choke-hold. Sesshomaru released him far too suddenly, and the student fell to the ground coughing.

'Akihiro' the Yokai nudged the student with his boot.

'What?' the student flung at him harshly.

Sesshomaru sneered, saying with affected nonchalance;

'Don't touch her'

With that, the Demon walked away, leaving Akihiro a shaking mess, cursing the fiend to hell.
What the hell had he meant about the extent of Rin's mothers' condition? Was he even referring to that?
Moreover, what on earth did he want to work at his father's hospital for?
And his command to not touch Rin – who the hell was he, her life-long guardian? No one could have such authority over another.
Not even a demon.
A human was unique in the fact they were blessed with as much freedom of choice as their circumstances allowed. Not even a spirit could direct their immediate decisions in life.
That spawn of hell was delusional as he was frightening – and Akihiro would not promise to not touch Rin.

The rest of the meal seemed to pass without incident – Kohaku did as Rin had hoped and kept the mood upbeat, but when the two men came back from the bathroom, the atmosphere seemed to have become pregnant with some kind of animosity.
Rin looked with a slight frown at her companion then to Hakai, who to her surprise had his gaze on her. She quickly looked away, her heart uncomfortably rising in speed for a few moments.

There had to be a way to get Hakai to focus on his dinner partner more, she couldn't stand seeing Ayami sitting there, ignored.

'Aya-chan, I still need to pay you back for the homework you gave me last week. I would never have got it in on time without you'

'For once Ayami put the right answers' of course Kohaku had to ruin it, and Rin sent him a very quick warning glance. That boy had to understand she was trying to hype up their friend!

'You don't need to pay me back Rin-chan' Ayami smiled 'isn't the saying – monkey bars and slides?'

Rin narrowed her eyes at Ayami for a second before saying slowly 'do you mean – swings and roundabouts?'

'That's it!' Ayami laughed 'I've been saying it wrong for so long. Hakai-kun, do you know what it means?'

Sesshomaru didn't deign to answer.

'It means what goes around comes around, Ayami-san' Akihiro stepped in 'so you said it within the correct context'

He tried to hide how terrified he was in his tone of voice, by anxiously jiggling his legs under the table. His mind was bent on how to disrupt the arrogance of the demon. What would happen, he wondered, if he brought up a discussion of Latin words, or Christianity, to frighten the creature? He would have to try and see how he could twist the discussion to suit his test.

'Ayami needs some kind of thesaurus and dictionary combination to carry with her at all times' Kohaku stated 'that way she wouldn't mess up basic phrases'

'Does Ayami-san know any other languages?' Akihiro tried.

'I don't need a dictionary, idiot' Ayami replied tersely to Kohaku before she tilted her head and thought for a moment about the college student's question.

'Croissant is a French word, isn't it?' She asked.

'It is! What about any old languages – like Hebrew or Latin?' Akihiro inquired further, hoping it didn't seem too strange.

Ayami screwed up her nose. 'Not at all' she replied.

'Do you know them, Akihiro-kun?' Rin asked him 'I suppose as a science student, you'd know quite a bit of Latin!'

'I do, as a matter of fact' he smiled at Rin, glad that he had an opening.

'Oh, cool! Could you say a sentence? I love hearing other languages'

Akihiro slanted his gaze toward Hakai as he said;

'Regna terrae, cantata Deo, psallite Cernunnos, Regna terrae, cantata Dea psallite Aradia.'

'Wow, that sounds pretty awesome' Kohaku avowed. 'What does it mean?'

Akihiro had locked eyes with the demon, and he watched with horror as the creature's gaze danced with an evil mirth as though it immediately recognised the incantation, and was merely mocking it, rather than fleeing as it should have.

'It's the beginning of an ancient spell' Hakai interjected, speaking properly for the first time that night. He looked from Kohaku back to the student, one side of his mouth quirked in a humourless smile.
'It's an ineffective and foolish tool used by humans to try and exorcise demons'

Akihiro cleared his throat rather harshly.
'It is actually quite effective' he counter-acted the fiend 'and is actually still used by the Catholic church now' his eyes could not maintain the gaze of the hell-spawn, shaken as to why the chant did not affect it in any way whatsoever.

'Damn' Kohaku nodded 'sounds heavy. I'm surprised Rin's still here' he said cheekily 'she's a bit of a demon'

Sesshomaru looked at Rin, the irony of it not lost on either him or Akihiro; the latter laughed uneasily.

'I'd love to memorise the whole thing' he said 'but it is very long'

'No doubt' Kohaku agreed 'but I don't see why it could come in handy. Demons aren't real, after all'

'You don't think so?' Ayami looked at her friend wide-eyed. 'I swear I've seen dark shapes in the night before. In fact, there was a very large strange creature that I'm sure I didn't imagine the other night, and it looked like something I'd never seen before'

Sesshomaru's gold eyes focused on Ayami in sharp interest for some moments, and the girl blushed at his regard.

'That's because you're a nut case' Kohaku poked his tongue out at her 'and anyway, if demons were real, I'd be pursuing my ultimate dream of being a Demon Slayer'

Rin chuckled, looking at him.
'You can't even hold a pencil long enough to write notes at school let alone a weapon'

'Hey, my muscles are huge!' Kohaku flexed his arms like a wrestler 'see? I'd be able to kill a hundred demons at once'

Sesshomaru pondered Ayami's statement for a few moments, but he did not put much weight to the words of an air-head like her. He raised a sardonic dark brow at Kohaku.
The only demon Rin's friend would be killing, if any at all, would be along the lines of Jaken's great grandparents – who were by now so old that slaying them would be the equivalent of knocking over a couple of old chairs.

'Why do you not believe in demons, Kohaku-kun?' Akihiro asked him.

'Well – if they existed, don't you think we'd kind of know about it? All the bloodshed and all.'

Akihiro glanced at Hakai, who seemed to be highly uninterested in the conversation.

'Don't you think' Akihiro remarked 'that all our mythology, and all the wars that we've had, could've been caused by demons?'

Kohaku shrugged 'maybe. But mythology is as close to fantasy as a sword is to a dagger. I wouldn't believe it'

'What do you think, Hakai-kun?' Ayami asked her dinner partner, feeling encouraged by the direct look he'd just given her.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes slightly, leaning back in his chair, pinning his gaze on Akihiro.

'They exist all right' he said lightly 'I mean, I am one'

Ayami laughed, and Rin and Kohaku raised their eyebrows at each other. At least the guy knew what a prick he was, Rin thought, and she knew her best friend was thinking the same thing.

But Akihiro had gone strangely silent and still, just for a moment, before laughing.

'So, he's saying he doesn't believe in them' the student affirmed to Ayami 'his humour must be irony'

'Oh no' Sesshomaru leaned forward just as Akihiro did. 'My humour involves making others uncomfortable, and watching them squirm'

Rin looked curiously at Hakai, wishing he'd scram and stop saying weird things. She felt Akihiro stiffen each time the Person said something, and she didn't like how he was making the lovely student uneasy.

'Hakai-kun, that's mean!' Ayami laughed uncertainly 'what do you think my sort of humour is?'

Sesshomaru looked at his dinner partner, annoyed by her attention.
'Making yourself sound senseless' he remarked tersely, to which Rin frowned in earnest.

Rin said quickly 'Aya-chan, don't listen to him. Your humour is usually sarcasm' but Ayami was looking rather downcast.
Curse that Person! Rin didn't care how 'selfless' he had first appeared in agreeing to take Ayami out, he had no reason to say something so rude. She had evidently been wrong in convincing her friend to take Hakai out and she felt very remorseful; she would certainly have to apologise later. This was not on!

'It's ok, Rin-chan' Ayami managed to smile again 'I guess plenty of people get a laugh out of how stupid I am' she giggled, but Rin saw how her brow was slightly knit, and her anger toward Hakai bubbled to the surface again.

'Hakai-kun's sense of humour really is to make others uneasy' Kohaku said sarcastically 'at least Ayami's is harmless'

Akihiro decided to order a round of drinks for everyone to break the building awkwardness, as well as wondering how alcohol would affect a demon.

He'd already noted how Hakai seemed unusually still for a mortal – one moment he would be sitting without even seeming to breath, and the next, he moved so sinuously that it seemed he had the elegance of a dancer.
His eyes were shifty and ever-changing, like a flame of fire always flickering, yet there sat behind his expression what Akihiro could only describe to himself an untapped well of deep wisdom.
The spirit seemed to know more than he did about Rin's mothers' condition – and that had to be because of its supernatural nature. He dearly wished to know why Hakai wished to be employed at his father's hospital.
Did he have plans to heal or hinder Mrs Urihara's condition? Akihiro still had no real idea of the demon's intentions towards Rin, and so he couldn't deduce which it might be.
Either way, it was a hell of a lot of effort for him to go to.
What he did know was if he didn't get the infernal creature a position there, that he would be dead meat.

The student further observed that Hakai's conversation was that of an annoyed intellectual – among company he was far above and was bored by – apart from it seemed Rin, who seemed to take much of its attention.

Akihiro wondered again why the evil spirit was so focused on the girl. Sure, she was attractive, but not strikingly beautiful or outstanding – perhaps there was something beyond human sight that enticed it to her?

It's lack of reaction to the spell seemed extremely curious. For a low demon, it surely should have at least shown a slight reaction. He had to see if alcohol might take down any inhibitions it may have, and perhaps even bring up the name of Yeshua, Jesus, the son of the Judean God as it was universally known that such a name held great power over malevolent beings.

After a few rounds of drinks, the most affected was Kohaku, and next to him – Rin. Ayami held hers surprisingly well, but not as well as Akihiro – and no one as well as Hakai.

In fact, it might have been said that alcohol did not affect the creature in any way. Akihiro looked with curiosity at the gold-eyed demon, wondering that perhaps due to entirely different physiologies, alcoholic substances had no affect on a spirit even in human form.

Currently, Kohaku and Rin were having some form of argument and Ayami was trying to get Hakai's attention.

'No, you won't!' Rin was saying with emphasis, waving a kebab in Kohaku's face.

'Yes, I will! It can't be that hard' Kohaku retorted, swilling his glass bottle of alcohol.

'I don't even know where he lives. You can't'

'Look, he's in the farm land somewhere, right? So, I go to farm land and find 'im' Kohaku hiccupped.

Evidently, Kohaku was threatening to go and find Shippo for Rin.

'You can't just – there's no generic 'farm land' where all the farm people live, Kohaku' Rin exclaimed to him, putting her head in her hands.

'Hakai-kun, you have a brother, don't you?' Ayami gazed up at the handsome boy.

'I do' he replied, his eyes on Rin.

'Rin-chan has one, but she hasn't seen him for a long time' she said, 'do you love your brother?'

Sesshomaru had long wished to leave, but he had been finding slight entertainment in watching Akihiro squirm, and listening to Rin. As to Ayami's question – whether he loved his brother – his mind gave him an unwelcome image of Inuyasha, and he remembered that impudent pup's attempts at conversation with him when they were younger.

'No' he answered.

'Oh' Ayami looked down 'I guess we can't all love our family' she mused 'but that's a shame'

'Ayami-chan loves her family so much that she cooks for them every day' Rin interjected, 'and she takes her younger siblings to all their activities outside of class, as well as takes them shopping and buys them their favourite snacks – ' in her tipsy mind, Rin was determined to throw in Hakai's face what he'd insulted earlier. She was going to make sure he paid for hurting her Aya-chan.

'No she doesn't' Kohaku groaned 'she doesn't even earn any money'

Rin glared at Kohaku 'she gets an allowance!'

Ayami was laughing with slight embarrassment 'You guys should focus on talking about farms and stuff' she giggled 'Rin-chan, what time are you leaving anyway? It's already 10 o'clock'

Rin looked at Akihiro 'what time is Okasan leaving?'

'She'll be flown out at 9am' he said 'so you'll probably want to take the 6am train'

Rin groaned, panic settling in the pit of her stomach 'I better get going then'

'Let me drive you home' Akihiro offered, but he met such a look from Hakai that he scratched his head 'ugh, actually I forgot that I needed to – see my mum, who lives around here'

Rin looked confused but nodded 'that's ok, I can't keep taking advantage of your kindness! I'll just take the bus as usual' she smiled at Ayami 'thanks so much for coming Aya-chan – I will message you later' Rin stood, ensuring to make no eye contact with Hakai again. Too often that evening had she found her eyes stray across to him, only to find herself looking in to his gold-flecked gaze. It caused her such discomfort, and added to her anger towards his treatment of her Ayami, Rin was happy to see the back of him.
'I better give you all a hug before I go' Rin said, slightly unsteady on her feet, and everyone else stood as well, ready to go.

'See ya Rin' Kohaku gave his friend a one-armed hug, wishing her luck and to let him know everything that happened, in case he could be of any help.

'Thank you Kohaku-kun' Rin sighed, before hugging Ayami.

'I'll see you in Tokyo?' Rin looked up at Akihiro, who met her gaze after he looked away from Hakai.

'Probably' he said 'but I can't promise. I need to finish up a few things here first'

'Ok, well' Rin went in to hug Akihiro 'just in case I don't see you, thanks so much for all your help'

Akihiro accepted the hug with a stunned expression, and he dared to look at the demon. He made sure to only pat Rin on the shoulder in return lest he be choked to death.

Saying good bye again, Rin left the restaurant, her avoidance of Hakai obvious. She glad to be away from the weird atmosphere that had existed between Hakai and Akihiro.
Of course, the stick-in-the-mud guy had sat there saying almost all evening except for a few choice remarks that had only served to anger her and hurt Ayami.

When Rin left, Akihiro nodded as the demon took his leave as well. He knew that the creature had not wanted him driving Rin anywhere at all, so he had made up the story about his mum, the detestation in his heart toward the creature no slight emotion.

Ayami and Kohaku chatted with the student for a little bit before they all parted ways; Ayami tried to not feel too hurt that Hakai had left her without so much as a word.

Rin felt a little sobered by the night time air, but it was nothing compared to the sense of worry that had been sitting at the back of her mind during dinner, that now came crashing to the forefront of her mind again as she made her way back to her empty house. Okasan would not be there for the first time in a very long time, and Rin felt her heart squeeze with fear.
Though Akihiro had assured her the problem was not dire, something in her soul felt uneasy, and Rin didn't know why.
She turned down a quiet street to make her way to the bus stop, the silence loud in her ears.
It was with no little shock that Rin felt someone grab her arm.

Suddenly her wide gaze encountered blazing – golden? eyes.

'H-Hakai – where's Ayami - ?' Rin looked past his shoulder for her friend but saw no one.

Sesshomaru was beyond listening to the girl. He had watched her all night, her little quips and compliments towards Akihiro, her laughter at Kohaku's jokes, her encouragement of Ayami. Yet not one word or smile had she sent his way, save a few glances that held nothing but coldness.

'You didn't say goodbye to me' he spoke roughly.

Rin looked back up at him with shock 'what?' she whispered, unable to keep up with what was happening as it was all so fast, and he looked so mad.

'Why won't you see me?' his anger boiled over.

Rin felt scared, remembering his fingers that had cut off the breath from her lungs – his rage contorted face – yet now he appeared even more upset, the fury combined with a pain that she could not comprehend.

'G-get your hands off me!' Rin wriggled under his grasp, as his hands held her shoulders tightly. She couldn't keep looking in to his molten amber eyes, so her gaze dropped to his chest, and she tried to push him away. But her small hands met muscles of steel, and she felt his fingers grasp her chin.

'You can't even stand to look at me' he said with low disgust 'little Rin thinks I am not worth her time, or her attention'

She grasped his wrist, trying to pull his hand away, but instead she found both her hands caught in his other one.

'It's useless' he growled 'to think you can fight me. Look at me!' He commanded with such authority that Rin's dark gaze flew to his and she was taken aback by the piercing yellow shade of them.

'I will make you see me' and before Rin could catch her next breath, she found her lips were caught prisoner by Hakai's persistent mouth – her body immediately caused a sensation of burning tingles as his tongue licked along her bottom lip, forcing her mouth open; that same hot sense of burning at her core awakened as his tongue went inside her, forcing her head back; his hands were in her hair, pulling her head to him, his lips slanted against hers, making it feel as though he was bruising her so rough was he, and she heard him groan with guttural pleasure against her skin.

Sesshomaru had not been able to think straight when he watched Rin embrace Akihiro, then not even glance at him. He could not allow her to run away.
He had followed her immediately, killing one or two parasites that had spawned in her wake, before catching up to Rin and taking no time to swing her around to face him.

He had not planned to kiss her, or even so much as touch her – why would he debase himself by forcing a human to pay him attention, as though he were a lovesick puppy of no worth except for his desire's touch?

Yet his anger – his instinct - had taken over, and when his lips met hers, she tasted so basally wonderful that he growled with his beast's voice, unable to stop his hands from grasping her full round breasts insistently, his fingers in a frenzy to grasp her soft moaning throat, her shaking shoulders – anything that would give him contact with her body.

Her musky scent flooded his nostrils with such heaviness that he snarled as he ruthlessly stole her breath with hot kisses so passionate that the girl's body was almost limp against him. The Demon's lips trailed along her jaw, down to the nape of her neck, biting and sucking there until she cried out.

Rin's senses had been taken hostage as Hakai forced himself on her, and she gasped as his hot hands urgently cupped her breasts, expertly rubbing over her nipples with incessant circles, causing such wetness to flow between her legs that she burned with shame.
Yet his scorching tongue tasted like sex, and his lips pulled at hers as she was taken over by desire, sucking them so they became swollen, his hot-breathed moans sending bolts of hunger throughout her entire being, her pussy throbbing painfully.

When he pulled back, Rin was so dazed and dishevelled that she could only look with lust-hooded eyes up at him.

That expression made Sesshomaru want to fuck her then and there, but something held him back though his erection almost burst through his jeans.

'That's how you say goodbye to me' he said thickly, his voice cracking with lust.

Rin's inner emergency siren seemed to just come on, spurred in to action by her brain remembering that she hated Hakai – that he had just ravished her! In a side street, without her permission, when her beautiful friend Ayami liked him, and he had insulted her!

Wiping her trembling hand roughly against her lips, shivering uncontrollably, Rin's look of desire passed quickly, and her dark eyes flashed with a dangerous rage.
She was so angry, that most words and phrases left her; her very soul was repulsed to the maximum height.

She actually spat on the ground in front of his feet and took a step forward.
Raising her hand, Rin hit him, very hard, across the face, before pinning him with a glare so toxic that even the Demon did not react.

She turned and walked away.
The parasites that spawned after her had grown in size, almost to the height of Rin at about five feet, and the demon's laboured husky breathing became ragged. His fists were so balled up that the claws pierced his skin, causing him to bleed.
He needed to fuck that wench senseless.
But he could not.

Noiselessly springing to action he sunk his talons in to the first critter, and it took more than a few slashes to kill it this time.
He regained near to his full form after only the first kill, and he took out his rage-fueled lust on the rest of the vermin until Rin made it home that night, his red eyes bent on her shaking and crying form, cursing fluently as he fought mortally with his beast.
