CHAPTER 2: The Warning.

"Lord Tarakun, you are aware of your brother O-Kaitsu's death, am I to be correct?" said Tarakun's advisor.

"Yes Hashi, I am aware of his death." Answered Tarakun

"Are you also aware of his death as murder, by a certain Lord Sesshomaru?" He asked again.

Tarakun cringed for a mere second at Sesshomaru's name before speaking. "Yes." He answered. "Dear little brother, it seems that you have failed your vengeful plot." Tarakun said to himself.

"Do you plan for revenge my lord?" Hashi asked.

"Of coarse I do. Why would I stand by and watch as those pitiful little canines polish away my family?" He smirked, keeping a calm, straight face.

"I will see to it that the race of dog demon is swept off this Earth. The little half-mutt in the dog family will face certain pain as well. They will ALL pay."

"What do you intend to do?"

Tarakun chuckled. "By black magic of coarse. For you see Hashi, there is a certain spell that can control the minds of others, but sadly it will only work on one person only once, but I intend to use it as a little warning for the two dog brothers. A warning of my presence. But first, lets have a little fun with Sesshomaru. His beautiful young ward 'Rin', she was kidnapped by my brother, which led to his downfall, correct?"

"Yes, that is correct my lord." Hashi said.

Tarakun chuckled more. "It appears that Sesshomaru wanted to save this 'Rin' from such horrible things as 'rape' and 'death'." His chuckle became a bit louder and deeper; "Let's see what happens when Sesshomaru can't save her from himself!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rin awoke with the bright sun shining down upon her from the balcony doors. Her eyes fluttered open. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, rubbing the sleep away. She looked around and saw that she was in an unfamiliar bed, and then suddenly realized.

'Wait…this is Sesshomaru's bed! Now I remember, he let me sleep in his bed when I was too scared to sleep in my own. It felt so good to sleep in his arms, I wished I could do that every night.' Rin thought. Then, she quickly realized that Sesshomaru wasn't in the bed or in the room. Rin sat up and began to walk to the door and into the hall toward her room.

She found Jaken walking in the hall as well. "Good morning Master Jaken!" she said cheerfully.

"Hmph, more like good afternoon." Jaken huffed.

"What!!? Good afternoon? You mean I slept all morning long?"

"Rin, Lord Sesshomaru allowed you to sleep late due to last nights events, and also had instructed or more like threatened us to not wake you up. And calm down Rin, it's only noon, you didn't sleep the whole day away." He explained.

"Master Jaken, where did Sesshomaru go to anyway?" Rin asked.

"Well, he…"- Jaken stopped immediately when he noticed that Rin addressed Sesshomaru without 'lord' or 'sama'.

"Rin! Keep that tongue of yours aware of what you say! You must address Lord Sesshomaru properly and respectfully!" He scolded.

"It's alright, he said he wanted me to call him just Sesshomaru and nothing more." She told the little toad.

Jaken was too shocked to say anything else, so Rin waved goodbye and left to her room. 'He's already beginning to show very strong feelings for her.' Jaken chuckled at his thoughts, 'although Lord Sesshomaru is powerful in everything else, he sure does lack patience.'

Rin walked into her chambers, a little surprised to see her doors in pieces. She changed into a blue kimono with green and white flowers at the sleeves and collars. Her most favorite one that Sesshomaru had given her for her 17th birthday that was just a few months ago. Rin was about to leave her room when something caught her attention. The blue and white flower in the vase. She walked up to the vase and gazed at the flower. It had such a healthy glow, it even appeared to have grown a little. 'Amazing little flower, so strong, so beautiful, just like Sesshomaru.'

Since Sesshomaru was off with some important tasks as always and Rin didn't have to do her lessons, she decided to spend some time in her garden.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sesshomaru was in a meeting with some of the other lords and generals.

"I say we drive those snake bastards out of our lands before they overpower us!" One of the lords growled.

"We mustn't take such drastic measures so soon. Find out what there intentions are and if it becomes a problem, then we destroy them." Challenged a general.

"My actions are simple: kill now and ask questions later!" said the same lord, followed by some agreeing nods from others.

Sesshomaru sat there un-amused at the lords and generals babbling. The snake demons were of coarse no trouble for him, so he pondered why he was even in the meeting.

Then something strange happened. Sesshomaru could hear strange voices in his head, as if chanting a spell. He tried to shake them off, but they got a bit louder. Now, they were all he could hear, and then, in only a few seconds, they were gone.

"Lord Sesshomaru." Said the head lord. He turned his attention to the lord.

"I have heard that you battled the demon O-Kaitsu, youngest son of the powerful demon, Royukon. You killed him?" All of the lords and generals turned to Sesshomaru.

"Yes, I have slaughtered O-Kaitsu." Sesshomaru replied.

"He poisoned you?"

"Yes." He replied again.

"You're acting quite strange, maybe it's just the poison. We shouldn't have called you here if we knew you weren't healed. You need your rest." He told Sesshomaru

"The poison is almost fully out of my system. I am not weak nor in pain, so let us continue." Sesshomaru was a little aggravated that now he was the center of attention.

"You must not be aware of the elder brother Tarakun."

"Elder brother?" Sesshomaru had full attention on the old, wise lord.

"Yes, Tarakun. You never met him, because he never assisted his father in the battle that took place those years ago. Him and his father Royukon never had a perfect relationship, they disagreed on everything, which led to Tarakun fleeing from his family's side."

Before Sesshomaru went into deep thought, the old lord spoke again. "O-Kaitsu is a strong fighter, but he lacks intelligence. Tarakun is very skilled in battle, other than attacking; he uses both technique and quick skill in his plans. He is indeed a very tricky character and feeds off the suffering of his enemies. You must be careful Sesshomaru; Tarakun's family is extremely vengeful. He will no doubt seek revenge on your whole family, including the half-demon Inuyasha and his family."

Sesshomaru sat up straight. "I apologize for my departure, but I must attend to some other tasks. It's getting quite late"

"By all means." The old lord nodded his head to allow him to leave.

Sesshomaru walked off from the meeting. For some reason, he felt as if the gravity was pushing him down, he started to breath a little harder. Something was putting pressure on him, but he couldn't describe it. No, it wasn't fear, not panic or worry and it sure wasn't a pleasing feeling. It was indescribable.

Sesshomaru had finally made it to castle and up to his chambers. It felt like the temperature was 100+ degrees. He was burning up. Then he started shivering as if the air changed to –100 below zero. Sesshomaru couldn't understand what was happening to him. He walked to the balcony for some of the cool nights air in his lungs, hoping that would do him some good. But it didn't.

Then, there was soft knock on his door. Oh, how he dreaded that it would be Jaken with his unbearable voice that sounded like nails against a chalkboard when he shrieked. Yeah, that would be nice for his head. (Sarcastically) (Who knew they had chalkboards back then!?)

"Sesshomaru?" Rin's soft elegant voice whispered through the rooms and to his ears. He didn't look back at her, but could feel her presence in walking in the room.

"What is it Rin?" He softly whispered.

"I didn't see you come back, so I decided to see you. I'm not so scared about sleeping in my room tonight, so I guess I'll be sleeping there. Thank you for comforting me last night, I appreciate it dearly." She smiled.

Sesshomaru nodded, still looking up at the moon. Then the voices in his head came back, but were now talking to him. 'The chair…the rope.' The voice said. Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder. There was a chair sitting by his bed like it always had and a rolled up, long length of rope that he kept around for no reason, it was just there and he didn't mind it, but why were the voices saying that? 'The chair…the rope…Rin' There it was again! But this time it said Rin's name. He began to worry.

Sesshomaru's heavy breathing was now noticeable to Rin. "Sesshomaru…are you alright, you don't look so good?" Rin said, taking a step towards him.

"I feel fine Rin." He lied, he felt awful and confused.

'The chair…the rope…Rin…tie her to it!' The voice hissed. 'What the hell is happening! Who are these voices and why are they saying such things!' He thought. 'Lock the doors!' The voice hissed again. Sesshomaru shook his head, trying to get rid of the hissing voices, but they just kept coming, and coming with even worse thoughts. 'The chair…the rope…Rin…tie her to it…then…rape her!! The voices growled. Sesshomaru looked shocked. 'Rape her!! Why would I do that!! What is happening?! Why do feel as if I am being pushed down!?'

"Rin." His batted, breathless voice reached her ears, worrying her. "Sesshomaru…are you sure you feel alright…you don't sound good either?"

'S-something's taking over my body! It's getting hard to move. It's getting hard to breath! I need to get Rin out of here. The voices will take over, and I fear what they will do to her!'

"Rin…leave the room." He said without turning around. Rin felt hurt and confused.

"Did I do something to offend you my lord?" Rin took another step forward, but stopped at his voice.

"No, but you need to leave this room…for your protection." Sesshomaru demanded.

Rin looked at him bewildered. "Protection? What do you mean protection?"

Sesshomaru turned to look at her. She gasped and took a step back. She could see the pain and struggle in his eyes. His golden colored eyes were battling with a mixture of red. He broke into a sweat, shivering.

"Rin…something's happening to me…get out of here…run to Jaken or a soldier…away from me!" He strained to say.

Rin obeyed her lord and ran for the door. That's when it happed. The voices took over his body and he blacked out.

Rin had almost made it to the doors of his chambers, when –in a flash– he stepped in front of her. Rin stayed still, gazing up at his crimson eyes and crimson jagged slashes that were once smooth, straight, and a deep purple. His fangs bared and grew a lot longer than they were. His nails grew a few long and terrifying inches.

"S-Se-Sesshomaru, w-what's wrong with you?" Rin coward. She had never seen him this vicious looking, even in a battle, and it scared her dearly.

Without turning around, Sesshomaru's hand reached behind him and locked the doors, keeping his gaze down at Rin. She backed away from him, too scared to scream or make a single sound. He began to walk toward her. Her legs stood frozen, accidentally giving him the advantage to grab her. He dragged her to the chair and forced her into it. Then taking the rope, he grabbed her wrists and held them behind the back of the chair and tied them together.

Rin tried squirming and whimpering, but it was no use. "Sesshomaru, what are you doing? What have I done to deserve this?" She asked. Sesshomaru did not answer; he just sat there with an intense glare. 'Good my pet…now…play with her.' The voice in his mind commanded, and Sesshomaru responded. He walked over to Rin, causing her squirm even more. His long claws took Rin by the jaw and forced her to look at him. He let out a low growl that terrified her.

"Why?" Rin whispered, "Why are you doing this to me? I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, just please tell me why your doing this?" Her cries just made him growl at her. Sesshomaru let go of her jaw and backed up, putting both hands on his head.

"I'm…sorry…Rin…It's n-not…me." He struggled to say. 'NO! You must not give in! I order you…rape her, then kill her!' The voice hissed in his mind again.

"Sesshomaru! Please snap out of it! Come to your senses, you can fight it!" Rin tried to reach him, but the voice had already taken control of his body once more. Sesshomaru ripped the ropes apart, then taking Rin and pushing her on the bed. He lay on top of her, pinning her beneath him, forcing her hands above her head. When she tried to put them back to her sides, he growled at her, forcing them up harder. Then, he started to nip at her neck with his fangs.

'This is what I've been wanting, but why am I so terrified! …Because it's not him…it's not him! He would never do this to me! Sesshomaru would never hurt me like this! But what am I to do, he's bigger and a lot stronger than I am. And if I jerked against him, he would hurt me! What am I going to do?!' Rin thought frantically.

Sesshomaru ripped through her obi, then ripped open her kimono. He gazed down at her nude body beneath him. He let out another low growl, then threw his armor off, then his fluffy boa, and finally ripped his kimono top off. Sesshomaru's hands left her wrists as he started to take of his hakamas. Rin took this chance. Her arms quickly wrapped around his neck and pulled him into a fierce, long kiss. She hoped that the meaningful kiss would break whatever spell bounded him. She had read so many fairy tale books that ended with a true loves kiss that broke the spell; she just hoped it would work in real life.

Sesshomaru growled at her through the kiss. His nails stabbed into her shoulders, making blood drip from the wounds. She winced in pain, but still held on to the kiss for dear life.

'Please…come back…come back to me.' Rin thought, closing her eyes, causing her tears to flow down her cheeks.

Sesshomaru's crimson eyes turned back to soft golden ones. His slashes turned back to smooth, deep purple, and his fangs and nails were back to their normal length. The voices disappeared in defeat. Rin had broken the spell. He looked at her in shock. 'Rin!' Sesshomaru looked at the tears that still flowed down her cheeks. Then he noticed that she was kissing him. Wait…she was kissing him!! He could feel her soft flesh against his torso. He looked down. Rin was completely naked. 'What have I done to her. What have I done to my poor Rin.' He lifted himself off of Rin, ending the kiss. He looked down at her with tortured eyes. Rin opened her eyes to see two soft golden eyes.

"L-Lord S-Sess-Sesshomaru, are you alright now?" Rin's jaw quivered. It pained him to hear her say 'Lord' again. Sesshomaru scooped her in his arms. She resisted for a few seconds but gave in. He laid back on his pillow, holding Rin to his chest. "I'm so sorry Rin. What have I done to you?" He whispered. Rin sobbed into his chest, tears of joy and relief that he was back-to-normal.

"Sesshomaru, I was so scared! I didn't know what to think! I'm so glad that you're okay now!" Rin choked. He could smell her blood on his hands and noticed that he stabbed her shoulders. "Rin…I hurt you. He said shamefully.

"It's alright, I know you didn't mean to." She calmed her sobs and rested her tired head on his chest.

"Rin…did I…did I rape you?" He asked, hoping with his life he didn't. Rin shook her head. He gave a relieved sigh. "Thank God." He whispered. He looked down at her again, "Rin, please get some sleep, you need it." Rin nodded her head went limp on his chest.

'This is going to be a very long night.' He thought, sleep finally caught him and he fell asleep.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Damn." Tarakun whispered in a calm voice.

"What is it my lord?" Hashi asked.

"It seems that Sesshomaru has broken through the spell. That little 'Rin' must be quite powerful over him. I wonder if she could be any use in…never mind that now, it was a good enough warning for Sesshomaru. Now, let's have some fun with Inuyasha." Tarakun chuckled.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rin awoke the next morning, again to find she was in Sesshomaru's bed. Rin's kimono had been rapped around her and also was covered up in the bed covers. 'Was that a bad dream or did it really happen? It must have been dreaming, but it was so real.' Rin moved her arm and gasped with slight pain. She moved the sleeve up to see that her shoulder had been bandaged, meaning that there was a wound there, meaning that her dream was real. The other shoulder was bandaged as well. 'Sesshomaru must have bandaged my wounds- I worried for him lastnight. I wonder what did that to him? It must have taken much power to control Sesshomaru. Anyway, I must see him!'

She walked down the halls, trying to find Sesshomaru, she stopped when she saw Jaken again walking in the hall.

"Master Jaken, where is Lord Sesshomaru, I must speak with him." Rin said urgently.

"Sorry Rin, Lord Sesshomaru has wished to be alone for a while to clear his thoughts." Jaken stopped talking and scratched his head. "I've never seen him so depressed and confused before. I wonder what happened?"

"Thank you Master Jaken." Rin walked off toward her room. She noticed that the doors had been repaired, and she stepped inside. It gave off such a pleasing fragrance. The servants must have spruced it up for her. She laid on her freshly made bed and sunk her head into the pillows. She had never been this depressed before. 'Sesshomaru wanted to be alone. I don't blame him. Does he tend to blame me for it? Was I the one that caused this plague of depression? The first chance I get, I will ask him.'

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Two days went by. Rin hadn't seen Sesshomaru since that night. He never came to dinner or out to his gardens. He stayed locked up in meetings and his chambers. It got a little irritating for Rin as she lay on her bed. 'If I don't see Sesshomaru soon, I'm gonna go insane!' Rin traveled through the castle, trying to find him. Then she came upon his chamber doors.

Rin gulped and bravely knocked on the door. There was no answer, so she decided to peak in.

"Rin." Said the voice. Rin jumped with an 'eep!'

"Y-yes?" She answered.

"What do you need?" Sesshomaru said with a stoic voice, staring out the window.

"I just wanted to see you." Rin walked in his chambers.

He turned to look at her. "What?"

"I wanted to ask you about what happened a few nights ago."

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "We will not speak of that night." He said coldly

"I know, but something's been bothering me," tears filled Rin's eyes, "I just want to know if it was my fault that it happened, if I was the cause of you being turned into…" Her voice trailed off.

"Don't say that Rin, you did nothing wrong." He walked up to her and wiped her tears away. "I want to hear you say that it wasn't your fault."

Rin looked up at him, showing him the smile he longed for. "Say it Rin." He said softly.

"It wasn't my fault. I did nothing wrong." She kept smiling at him.

"Feel better?" He teased.

"Yes." Rin giggled through her tears.

"Good." He walked back to the window and gazed out of it. "I am to leave later today to see the village of Inuyasha and his woman. I need to discuss some important matters with him."

(Sesshomaru and Inuyasha made a truce to cease their fighting when Inuyasha's son was born 6 years ago. Inuyasha did not want his son to know that he had a family that tried to kill each other.)

"If it's not too much to ask, may I go with you, I would love to see Kagome again and to get all of this sadness off my shoulders." Rin asked, she knew Sesshomaru would give in to letting her go if he knew she was sad, and sure enough, he gave in.

"You may." He said.

"Oh, thank you Sesshomaru!" She hugged him and left to get ready.

Sesshomaru watched her leave. 'I hope I'm doing the right thing by allowing her to go with me.' Although, unknown to him, it wasn't.

TO BE CONTINUED……
