Disclaimer/deep breath/ I don't own Inuyasha /deep breath/ I don't own Inuyasha…/finally snaps/ NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Chapter 6: A Promise is a Promise part 2"A promise is a promise." Said the unexpected, yet familiar voice. Shock instantly ran through Rin. She knew that voice.
Rin put a hand over her mouth and looked down in disbelief. 'Th-that voice…!' She thought. Two amber eyes slowly fluttered open and looked directly into Rin's eyes. "S-Se-Sesshomaru…?" Rin squeaked.
"Rin…" Sesshomaru said weekly, his eyes slightly widened on her being. Rin swallowed a cry of joy, but was still too confused. 'Please let this be real. I don't want to wake up and still see him lying unconscious.' Rin wiped away her tears as she leaned down and kissed the crescent moon on his fevered forehead. "Sesshomaru…my lord I…" She paused and smiled. "Welcome back my lord…."
Sesshomaru's eyes slowly scanned the room. "Where…where am I?" He said in a tired and worn voice.
"Don't worry Sesshomaru, you're in Inuyasha's hut and you're resting in a bed." Rin cooed softly as she brushed his bangs with her fingers. "I'm glad you're awake Sesshomaru…I really am." She whispered softly.
Just then, Kagome slid the door open and walked in, carrying a tray of fruit and tea. "Hey Rin, I thought you might be hungry and I haven't seen you eat anything in a while, so I brought"- she stopped talking when she looked up and saw Sesshomaru awake and slightly moving his head.
Kagome's face lit up and a bright smile plastered along her face. "Your awake!! Oh, your finally awake!!" Kagome was so caught up in what she saw, she forgot the tray in her hand and she dropped it, which 'clanged' and 'shattered' all over the floor with fruit and tea spilling everywhere. "Oh, I've got to tell everyone!" Kagome squealed and ran out of the doorway.
Rin giggled at Kagome and turned to Sesshomaru who suddenly had a serious look. "Where is he?" Sesshomaru asked in a hoarse voice and cold tone. "Who?" Rin asked. "Where is he? Tarakun. Where is that bastard!?" Rin gave Sesshomaru a soft look. "Sesshomaru…it's been almost 3 days since then. You've been unconscious for that long." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, but when he looked back at Rin, his eyes softened. "I'm glad you're alright…that he didn't harm you…" Sesshomaru said, pausing for breath between sentences. Rin smiled. She was about to say something when the sliding doors were thrown back and the one and only Jaken burst into the room. He gasped and stared wide-eyed at Sesshomaru.
Jaken suddenly exploded and talked so fast, his words jumbled up together. "Lord Sesshomaru!! You look terrible!! And here I thought Inuyasha was just trying to scare me with made-up stories of what happened to you, but I guess it's true!! Oh, Rin, whatever happened to our Lord! Lord Sesshomaru, from what I heard, I thought you were dead- Oh and when I heard of coarse I went haywire and threw a fit! I think I might have cried! I was just so worried and…and…and…"
"Jaken!" Sesshomaru said rather loudly, interrupting a hyperventilating and spastic Jaken.
"As you can see, I am alright. I may look like I am on the brink of death, but I am alright…" Sesshomaru said, but started breathing rather fast.
"See you little kappa!! I told you that Sesshomaru was in this condition, but no, you had to throw a fit and call me liar!!" Inuyasha entered the room, followed by Miroku and Sango.
Inuyasha gazed at Sesshomaru. "I have to admit, you had us worried. I thought you weren't going to make it this time, on account of how bad your wounds look."
"What do you mean? I don't feel anything." Sesshomaru started to sit up.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Inuyasha said
"And why not"- suddenly, Sesshomaru's skin turned a pale powder-white. His eyes widened. His hand clenched onto his chest while the other clenched onto the bed sheet.
"Sesshomaru! You shouldn't move or your wounds will get wider!" Rin helped him lay back onto the bed.
"See, I told you, you shouldn't have done that." Inuyasha said again.
Finally, Sesshomaru stopped breathing hard and he calmed. He looked at who all was in the room. "Why can't I feel my legs." He asked breathlessly. All eyes focused on Kagome, who was, in their opinion, the smartest one there on the insides of a person's body. "Well…" Kagome cleared her throat, "I'm not sure how, but some of the wounds on your body were inflicted with poison, and that poison is slowly spreading throughout your body. But if we can get the poison out in time, the bottom half of your body should regain feeling. Hmm…maybe if we send for Myoga and ask him too…"- Sesshomaru cut her off. "I will not have that insect enjoy drinking my blood!" he barked.
"Aw, don't be so stubborn! If you don't get that poison out of your system, you'll probably die!" Inuyasha retorted.
Sesshomaru smirked at his little brother. "I had no idea you cared so much about my life, little brother."
"Hey, whoa, whoa, let's not get so 'brotherly-love' all of a sudden. I didn't say that I was concerned, I was just trying to get some info through your thick skull." Inuyasha smirked back.
Miroku whispered to the others. "Don't worry, I have a plan. We'll sneak some of Kagome's 'sleeping medicine' in a drink for Sesshomaru. When Sesshomaru is unconscious or in a deep 'healing' sleep, we'll get Myoga to drain the poison out of his system. All we have to do is wait."
"That plan of yours won't work, Monk." Sesshomaru growled
"Ah! Is his hearing that sharp!?" Miroku hid behind Inuyasha.
Rin started giggling. "Don't worry Sesshomaru, I'm sure there's some other, easier, way that you can get the poison out." She said and winked at Inuyasha and the others.
Sesshomaru studied Rin's clothing for a few seconds before giving her a strange look. "Rin…what are these clothes you're wearing?" Rin looked at the pajama shirt and matching pants and giggled. "My kimono was stained with blood and Kagome offered to give me some of her old clothes." And for a slight second, Sesshomaru smiled. "You look beautiful in that clothing…" he said softly, never taking his eyes off of hers. Rin put a hand to her cheek to hide her blush, but it was too obvious.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and Kagome nudged him. Sango and Miroku smiled. "C'mon, we've said all we needed, let's give these two lovebirds some alone-time." Kagome whispered to the others and turned to leave. Inuyasha took Jaken by the back of his kimono and dragged him out. "Unhand me half-breed! I am to stay here with Lord Sesshomaru when he is in such a condition!" Jaken squawked. "C'mon kappa, we could use your staff for a bonfire tonight."
"Oh, stop Sesshomaru. I look like a mess! I haven't had a peaceful sleep in a while and neither have I had a nice hot bath…" Rin said while still blushing. Sesshomaru smirked once more, saying; "Well…I can't wait to see what you look like after all that." Rin giggled at him. "Sesshomaru…even in a condition such as this, you still have that odd and funny sense of humor of yours." Sesshomaru only smirked again. "The one thing I missed while I was unconscious was that sweet laughter of yours…"
Rin stopped giggling and looked at him with her large chocolate orbs. Oh, how she missed that seductive voice of his and the way he says things as if he was bored, but also as if it sounded so meaningful. The way he would look into your eyes and you would immediately get lost into those beautiful, glowing amber orbs. The way it seemed when Rin looked at him. It seemed that when she looked at him, the world around her disappeared, as if it had no meaning at all…or…if it wasn't even there to begin with.
Very delicately and gently, Rin wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru and leaned her head into the crook of his neck. "I missed you…so very much…you really don't know what it means to me right now to see that you are awake and smiling at me…" Rin lifted her head up to look into Sesshomaru's eyes once more. But they were different this time. They were more hypnotic and mesmerizing and Rin felt like she was about to drown.
'His eyes…so lustful and radiant…oh, I wish I embrace him and never let go.' Rin thought.
'Her eyes…so innocent and pure. If only I could lift myself and kiss her and never break it.' Sesshomaru thought.
Sesshomaru and Rin continued an intent stare into each other's eyes. Rin could feel her heart-rate increase and Sesshomaru with his sensitive hearing could hear it.
"Sesshomaru…" Rin whispered. She wouldn't be able to restrain herself from kissing him if she continued to stare into his eyes. 'Oh, why is he so damn captivating!' She thought.
Then suddenly, the door slid open in a flash motion and a child's voice boomed through the silence of the room.
"UNCOO!!" Hakashi shrieked. He was running toward the bed huffing and puffing and laughing really hard, until he accidentally tripped his own self and fell flat on his face. Rin suppressed a fit of laughter at Hakashi and started to walk over and help him, when Hakashi jumped to his feet and rubbed his head. "I'm okay! I'm okay!" he said and continued to run to the bed.
"Uncoo! I'm so gwad your awright now and your not in one of those 'vewy long sweeps' anymore." Hakashi said (translation: Uncle! I'm so glad you're all right now and you're not in one of those 'very long sleeps' anymore')
"Oh yes Sesshomaru, Hakashi has also been very worried about you. Haven't you Hakashi?" Rin said sweetly.
Hakashi nodded up and down wildly. "Uh-huh!! A lot! And Kohaku!" Then, Hakashi leaned in close and whispered into Sesshomaru's ear. "Even daddy has been moping awound sometimes, saying that he feels bad about wha' happened."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "Oh did he now? Well…you can tell your father that I'm so touched that he cares for his older brother." Sesshomaru said sarcastically.
Hakashi stared at Sesshomaru blankly, as if he had instantly forgotten what he had said, but went along with it anyway. "Uh…okay?"
Kagome entered the room, looking distressed. "Hey, have you two seen" Kagome suddenly stopped. "There you are Hakashi! You had me worried sick young man! Don't think you can sneak off and hide your way out of bath-time!!"
"Eeek!" Hakashi squealed and hid behind Rin. "Hakashi! Come and take your bath young man and I mean NOW!" Kagome scolded. Rin giggled. "You and me both, Hakashi!" Hakashi smiled and laughed. "C'mon, we can take a bath together, Lady Rin!! It will be fun!!" Rin blushed and giggled. "Only if it's okay with your mother." She said. "Oh! Go ahead Rin, Hakashi much too young to ask those kind of questions." Kagome laughed. Rin turned to Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru, you don't mind if I go have a quick bath do you?" "I will not deprive you of what you say you need Rin." Sesshomaru said.
"Then come on!" Hakashi pulled Rin by her hand out of the room. "Mommy takes me to a good hot spwing! (spring) We can go there and bath together!" Rin was almost out of the room when she swore she heard Sesshomaru mutter under his breath, "lucky kid".
Kagome waited before Hakashi and Rin were gone to start speaking to Sesshomaru. "I've never seen someone so devoted to taking care of someone as I've seen Rin…" Sesshomaru gave a questionable look at Kagome. "Why do you say that?" He asked. Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru. "For the past few days, Rin has done nothing but stay by your side and cry."
Sesshomaru gave her a stern look. "Cry!?"
"Well, that's what Lady Keade, the old village priestess, told me"
"Tell me why she was crying! Who or what put her into tears?!" Sesshomaru growled, interrupting Kagome.
"Umm…Sesshomaru…she was crying…for you." Sesshomaru froze. "For me? Why is this?"
"Rin thought you were going to die from your wounds. I mean, you weren't showing any signs of healing and I guess that frightened her."
Sesshomaru remained quiet. "She cares for you Sesshomaru…she loves you." Kagome said softly. Sesshomaru only nodded.
An eerie silence held the room until Kagome spoke again. "Umm…Sesshomaru…could I ask you a question. You don't have to answer if you think it's too personal…" Sesshomaru turned to look at her again.
"Do you…love Rin? I mean, I know you love her, but are you inlove with her?"
Sesshomaru thought for a second before answering, then a memory came to mind.
"I can't live without you Sesshomaru, I…I love you."
"I love you."
What Rin had said earlier was surprisingly puzzling. He didn't know whether he heard a fictional voice that sounded like Rin in his dream-like state of consciousness or he had actually heard her say it.
There was no answer for quite a while and Kagome started to assume that Sesshomaru wouldn't actually answer such a question like that, but what surprised her is he suddenly answered her question. And the most astonishing thing of it was…is how he answered it.
"It's hard to say…I do love her…but I don't want to hurt her…or go through the pain of…"
"I think I know what you mean. You know, about the age difference. Humans only have a century to their life and demons can live for centuries and centuries. Is that why?" Kagome said.
"Actually, I just don't want to hurt her. If I were to love a human, there would be certain problems between the Western Lands and new enemies. I would never allow letting Rin be a mistress, so if I love her, she will be the Lady of the Western Lands. Enemies would hold her against me. Claiming that she is my weakness, they would get her before they get me and I would die before letting my enemies kidnap her and torture her only for their hatred for me. I will not go through the pain of allowing her pain."
Kagome was actually speechless. His words were so meaningful and deep.
Sesshomaru gave her an odd look. "It's funny that you brought something up about age difference. What you said about humans and demons life spans. Why did you?
Kagome blushed, and then looked at the ground. "Because I'm afraid. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Inuyasha with all my heart…but…I'll die a lot sooner than him and Hakashi and I have dreaded that for a very long time. I don't want to leave my family, I want to be with Inuyasha and Hakashi for all of eternity…"
Sesshomaru smirked to himself. "Heh, it seems Inuyasha is still as ignorant as ever. He doesn't even know anything about his demon side." Kagome looked at him. "What do mean?"
"There is a way that a demon or human would be able to live as long as their demon mate. By marking of coarse."
Kagome's expression saddened. "But…Inuyasha's already marked me and I didn't seem to change."
"You both have to mark each other. It is a type of 'mating ritual' during mating, you have to mark each other and taste one-another's blood. That way, the two mates will be forever sealed with a blood seal."
"Does…does that mean that I could live as long as Inuyasha does!?" Kagome asked, her voice full of hope.
"Like I just said. Of coarse." Sesshomaru smirked. "Heh, and I thought you were the smartest of the humans you travel with."
"Whatever." Kagome rolled her eyes. "Anyway, thank-you sooo much for the information! I can't wait to tell Inuyasha! He'll be so happy! Also, I'm going to have to clean this mess I made when I dropped the tray of food and try to find some other old pajama clothes for Rin to wear. I still can't get the blood stains out of her kimono."
"Summon Jaken, I wish to speak with him." Sesshomaru asked. Kagome nodded and left the room.
Sesshomaru sat in silence and thought about what Kagome had said. 'So…Rin sat beside this bed and cried in worry of my health? Why does she allow herself so much pain for me? Why do I let myself get into things like these? I wonder what happened to the old me. The Sesshomaru who would kill a being just for looking at him with an odd expression. The Sesshomaru who would NEVER, by any reasons necessary, show emotions that could easily show weakness. The Sesshomaru who would heavily guard only one human. Rin.' Sesshomaru's cleared his head, and then he smiled to himself. 'Rin was the one who had gotten rid of the old Sesshomaru. She was the one who had melted that bastard's black-iced-heart. Heh, It was for the better. I like this new me. For some odd reason…I enjoy it. I guess that showing a little emotion won't hurt. Besides, I can always act like the old me in front of other's besides the people here.'
Sesshomaru was so caught up in his thoughts; he didn't notice the door slide and a green little imp enter the room. "Uh, Lord Sesshomaru, did you wish for my presence?" Jaken asked as he walked to the bed.
Sesshomaru glanced over at Jaken. "Yes Jaken. I need an update on what is happening at the Western castle?"
Jaken bowed. "Hmm…let's see. Well, nothing much. Rin is getting very backtracked on her lessons and I'm sorry to say milord that you as well are getting behind on your work… Ahh! Of coarse, how can you do such meaningless work if you are partially paralyzed and badly injured?!" Ahhh! Not that your work is meaningless, I meant that in a way that it would be annoying and…"
"Jaken, calm yourself. That's all I needed to know for now. You are dismissed."
Jaken bowed and turned to leave, when Rin walked into the room with a towel draped over her head to dry her hair.
She was simply breathtaking. She was wearing a faint green and pink pajama button-up-shirt and matching pants that had little drawings of dogs and cats on them. She had such a soft and relaxed expression on her face and when she removed the towel from her head, her damp raven hair shimmered and shined in the dimming daylight from the windows rays.
"Hello Master Jaken! I haven't talked to you in while!" Rin said and padded Jaken on his head. Jaken just mumbled something and waved his hand at her, while leaving the room.
Rin walked happily over to the bed and sat in the chair that was near it. "Sesshomaru, I need to have a look at your wounds to see how they're doing." Sesshomaru nodded and she began to undo the bandages.
"Oh Sesshomaru! Your wounds are already starting to get better! I'm so relieved." Rin squealed. The largest and worst of the wounds were healing the fastest and the scratches were already starting to fade. Rin took Kagome's box that contained all of her 'potions' and started to treat his wounds. When she applied something called 'Alcohol' and dabbed it around the wounds for irritation, she heard a gasp and Sesshomaru tensed up.
"I'm so sorry Sesshomaru! Did I hurt you? Did I press too hard or is it the foul smelling medicine?" Truly, Sesshomaru was having hell with the medicine 'alcohol'. It hurt like hell when some got into his wounds and the smell was driving his sensitive nose crazy. The smell was so foul and strong; it began to sting his nose.
"No Rin…you can continue." Sesshomaru slightly panted. Even moving or shifting himself was painful.
So, Rin continued to bandage Sesshomaru's wounds with fresh, new bandages. After the hot spring with little Hakashi, she felt more refreshed and relaxed. Something she hadn't felt in what seemed like ages. Rin was about to start conversation, when she looked up and gasped. Sesshomaru had fallen asleep.
As Rin gazed upon Sesshomaru's sleeping form, she couldn't help notice that his head was slightly turned in a comfortable position and his lips were slightly parted, so that he could get more air into his lungs as he slept. His chest raised and lowered very slowly and very gently. His hair was spread all around his upper body, as if he was sleeping on a silver bed sheet.
Then, Rin felt something she never experienced in a long time. It was such a gentle feeling, as if nothing else mattered in the world. As if nothing really had a meaning at all and Rin didn't have care in the world. This feeling…the feeling of being as light as a feather. No trouble in the world. This feeling that Rin was suddenly going through, it was better then happiness itself. So soft…warming…comforting…. When she looked at Sesshomaru and the peaceful sleep he was in made her feel like her life was stitching itself back together. Sesshomaru would soon completely heal. She and her trio of demon-friends (Sesshomaru, Jaken, Ah-Un) could travel back to the Western lands and she could finally have the right opportunity to tell Sesshomaru an in-his-face, straight-out-answer, no-interferences on how she truly feels about him, whether he loved her back or not, she was going to tell him what her heart longed to tell him for a few years.
'He deserves all the rest he can have now; after all he's been through. I never really noticed how cute and innocent the almighty 'Lord of the Western Lands' looks while he sleeps. The good thing is he's okay now and after all this…I will still be him…by his side…always near him no matter what…and he will always be in my heart.'
All the while Rin was thinking, she didn't notice her hands were still doing the job of bandaging his wounds and they were finally finished. With nothing else to do but stare at a gentle-sleeping dog demon, she decided to help the others with some around-the-house chores.
Hours later…
Sesshomaru had been in a gentle sleep for a while. While he was sleeping, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He soon became restless because of the feeling. And soon after, he could hear little whispers and snickers very close to the bed. Now he was sure that someone was watching him.
His eyes opened slowly and looked right into the eyes of what seemed like seven small children right beside the bed. The biggest one, who looked about 6 or 7 years old, was the one in front. 'Probably the leader.' Sesshomaru thought.
He rose and eyebrow at the children. "What do you children want?" He said sternly, agitated that they just whispered to each other while staring right at him.
Finally, the older one spoke, "Did you die?" he asked.
"No" came Sesshomaru's reply
"Oh…" then there were more whispering and snickering. "Are you gonna' die?"
"I don't think so."
"Oh…are you a scary demon?"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the ignorant children. "If your alive right now after minuets of being near me, then I'm not a 'scary' demon."
"Oh…" the older one kept saying, and all the younger ones in the back just kept whispering and snickering.
"What type of demon are you?"
Sesshomaru inwardly growled at the children, then said, "Why is it any of your concern of what type of demon I am?"
The older boy shrugged, "just wanted to know. You look like Inuyasha, and he's half-dog demon, and so we thought you were a dog demon too."
"Well…I am a dog demon as well, only full-blooded." Sesshomaru stated, turning his gaze away from the children.
"Whooooa", some of the children whispered.
Just then, the door slid open fast and Inuyasha stormed in. "There you all are! What do you think you're all doing in here? Get the hell out!!"
The children pouted and slowly walked out. "Your mean, Inuyasha! You won't let us have any fun! You never do!!"
"Like I care, you little brats! Just storming in my house uninvited and start sticking your nose in stuff that it doesn't belong!! Go outside and play your game with Hakashi!!" Inuyasha retorted.
Inuyasha mumbled under his breath, "stupid little kids…if it were up to me…they couldn't come in the house PERIOD. But noooo', Kagome feels sorry for them and since their Hakashi's friends, I can't kick'em out!!"
After the kids left the room, Inuyasha took a deep a sigh and turned back to see his brother with his eyes closed.
"So…how are you holding up?" Inuyasha asked nonchalantly.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes and studied Inuyasha. "…I'm healing." He said with a straight answer.
"Alright then…" Inuyasha said. Silence fell in the room and so did a long awkward pause before Inuyasha started talking again.
"…Don't ever do that again…" Inuyasha muttered out of nowhere.
"Excuse me?"
"I said, don't ever do that again. You know, that thing you did a few days ago with Tarakun and the whole 'giving your life away for us' thing…it was actually kind of…weird."
"Weird?"
"Oh, you know what I mean!!"
After a long, odd look at his brother, Sesshomaru finally sighed inwardly. "Knowing you, no one would really know what you mean."
Inuyasha took an exasperated sigh and began. "Well, what I mean is that…you don't…act like your self anymore. I guess it is a good thing, but still…"
"So what you mean is, you enjoyed it when we would attempt to fight to the death and insult each other?"
"Hell no! Of coarse not! It's just…my whole perspective on you has totally changed. Your attitude has lightened up, your strong distaste for humans has changed for the brighter, your acting somewhat 'nicer' to me and me to you, frankly, I can go on and on like this forever."
"It doesn't really matter if I changed. The only thing that matters is that I'll still be the same to those who threaten me and the one's I protect and that's how I want it. That way, they won't waist their time dying by my hands."
"You know, when that happened. After that blast and when your eyes glazed over and you fell backward in a pool of your own blood. …It was really strange. I've never seen nor felt such shock and mixed emotions before in my life. And to think that me and Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo at one point, would have wanted you dead…but they were worried about you and your health. Kagome was really worried that you were gonna die, and that's saying something since you tried to kill her about 9 or so years ago."
Then Inuyasha whispered to himself, "And to think…even I worried…"
Sesshomaru was surprised. He had never looked at it that way before. He did save all their lives, but never thought of how worried they were about him dying. Rin and Jaken were all he thought about. At one time, he didn't even care if they worried about him. If he were to ever die, doubt that would happen though, but if he did, he just thought they would shrug their shoulders and move on. But no. When he would get hurt or in a bad situation, he would hear them call out to him. Their voices full of worry and devotion. For him. To say the least, it surprised him.
Sesshomaru's thoughts were interrupted as Inuyasha yawned. "Well," Inuyasha said while yawing, "I've got to do some finishing touches on repairing the village. It's been along day. Heh, I guess this was the first 'brotherly' conversation we've ever had, huh?" Then, Inuyasha got a sly look. "See, you are softening up after all, huh big brother!!"
The demon Lord gave his brother a 'you're pushing it' look. "You're just asking to have your head lopped off, and I'd be happy to apply."
"HA! And ladies and gentlemen, he's back!!" Inuyasha sarcastically cheered and walked out of the doorway laughing.
"Changed that much, huh?" Sesshomaru said to himself.
Later that Night… (some sexual content
As quiet as she could, Rin tiptoed in the room to check on Sesshomaru.
But as she took the first step, a deep voice startled her. "I already knew you were coming in here. I could smell your scent getting stronger toward the room.
Rin smirked, then giggled. "Nothing gets past you, does it Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru somewhat smiled at her, which made her heart lurch. "Anyway, I'm sorry, I wasn't with you so much today, I was helping Kagome, Sango, and also Jaken with some stuff. I'm sorry…"
"No, don't apologize. If you would have been here, you would have only seen me sleep." He said to her.
"I don't see a problem with that…" Rin whispered. Sesshomaru heard, but didn't say anything.
"Anyway, I just came to see how you were doing. You should get some rest now, so your wounds may heal." Rin smiled and began to walk out of the room, when Sesshomaru's voice stopped her.
"And what about you? Where would you sleep tonight?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Oh, uhh…well, Kagome offered to lay out a 'sleeping bag' for me to sleep on in their living room and I didn't want to be a bother, so I said yes to her offer." Rin explained.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. " That is nonsense!! I will not have you sleep on the floor like some mangy animal!"
Rin tilted her head in confusion. "Sesshomaru, with all due respect, I don't have a choice, there's no other place to sleep" Sesshomaru cut her off.
"This bed is large enough for your slender form. You will be sleeping next to me." He stated.
Rin gasped and blushed. 'Whoa…talk about déjà vu. Not this again!' Rin stated in her mind as she thought about the last time she had slept in the same bed with Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru, I don't think I should with you being injured in all. I mean, what if I move in my sleep and I accidentally hurt you? I would feel so ashamed of myself!!" Rin exclaimed.
"Nonsense Rin. I've slept next to you before and you are gentle as a feather in your sleep." He said softly.
Rin didn't say anything. 'What should I do? What should I do!?" She thought frantically.
"I will not bring myself to beg, so I will only ask you softly. You need a place to sleep and I want you to sleep comfortably next to me. Could you?" His voice was so incredibly gentle and breathtaking. It was like candy for Rin's ears. 'Oh, how can I refuse something like that? He sounds so sweet, yet I'm still unsure. But, how can I ever say no to Sesshomaru…the man I love. Besides, he's wanting me to and it's just a simple favor?' Rin thought.
"Alright…" she whispered softly as she slowly climbed onto the bed and snuggled next to Sesshomaru. With most of his strength, Sesshomaru pulled his left arm out and wrapped it around Rin. In return, Rin gently laid one hand on his chest, on a spot that didn't have a terrible wound.
'This is heaven. And to think I refused to sleep next him. I would rather sleep on him without sleeping…WHAT!! Where did that come from? Heh, probably because he's soooo warm and his skin is soooo soft. Hell, even if he's been sleeping in the same bed, never moving for a few days, he still has that tantalizing musky smell. Oh, and his slow, long breathing. It's just like candy to my ears. But hearing him pant in ecstasy would be even sweeter… Aahhh! There I go again!! Damn you, you sick, perverted mind!! Stop it!!'
'Oh come on, you know you love it…' something deep inside her said.
'Well, I guess so…ooohh no! No, no! I won't start arguing with myself! It's creepy!!
'I wouldn't call it arguing. I'm just talking about what you've been wanting. I know you want to touch him, and I don't mean in a friendly manner…' the voice deep inside her chuckled.
'Argh! What are you talking about! He's my lord and savior! I couldn't touch him that way, even if he let me or not!"
'Oh, give me a break!! What about your daydreams that you use to have? Or when you wish you could grab his firm, muscled, and per-fect ass!? How do you explain that, huh?!!'
'…'
'Thought so…' the inner voice said triumphantly.
Sesshomaru watched as Rin was in deep thought. He smirked when he saw a sudden surprised look on her face and her cheeks flushed the color of roses.
'Hn. She must be in deep thought. I wonder if she's thinking dirty thoughts. That sudden expression tells me that she is. I wonder if it's about me? My sweet, comical Rin. I think I'll feed the fire.
Sesshomaru leaned in to her ear and breathed huskily. "You must sleep now Rin, you're clearly exhausted. I would like for you to get some much needed sleep…please." He whispered, stretching out the word 'please'
Strong shivers of pleasure ran through Rin's body. '…Oh Gods…' was all her mind could say while her voice was mute. Rin shook her head weakly. "Okay." She squeaked. She felt like a defenseless mouse against a sexy, seductive cat, or in this case, a dog.
"Goodnight, my Rin." Sesshomaru huskily whispered in her ear again.
And again, another strong wave of pleasures shot through her body. 'Oh Gods, this guy is just asking to get screwed. If he didn't have those wounds, I would already be on top of him, doing soooo many things to his delicious body.' Rin thought, and unknown to her, Sesshomaru could smell her arousal growing.
That's when Rin's inner voice took over again. 'Ha! I knew it!! Oh, I'm going to have soooo much fun messing around with your dreams tonight!!'
'I don't care what you do! As long as it's about me and Sesshomaru.' Rin retorted in her head.
"Umm…good night to you to Sesshomaru." Rin whispered and snuggled closer to him.
A few Hours later… (some more sexual content
The light from the full moon was the only light that evaded the room's darkness. It was silent as it was dark. No sounds of a cricket chirp or an owl hoot. It was just…silent.
Sesshomaru was the only one in the large hut that was awake. For some reason, he did not feel much like sleeping. He had done it for almost 3 days in a row. For the past few hours, he would stare up at the moon that was visible from the window, than turn his long gaze to stare at the beautiful maiden spooning next to him. His beautiful Rin. So exuberant in the moonlight. From her long eyelashes, to her soft, powder face. From the peaceful expression she wore as she slept, to the way her breasts rose and lowered from her peaceful breathing. It was too much. So much eye-candy in one place. 'And it's all mine. No one else would ever dare touch her without experiencing udder horror and torture under my wrath. To think, someone putting their hands on MY RIN. Feeling the skin under her clothing. Messaging her breasts and licking on her soft flesh. Pounding into her against her own will, making her scream in fear and pain…'
Sesshomaru let out a quiet, yet fierce growl. His eyes were hazing over with crimson. The hatred and jealousy was overwhelming, but when he heard Rin moan from the vibration in Sesshomaru's chest from the growl, Sesshomaru calmed.
Rin shifted slightly. A moan escaped her lips and Sesshomaru saw that her eyelids twitched. 'She's just dreaming.' Sesshomaru thought. Then, his thoughts were broken when her soft, velvety fingertips started to message his pectorals. Sesshomaru took a deep breath. It felt so good. His breath caught when her whole hand started to gently massage his chest. She was so gentle that his wounds felt like they were healing under her touch. Then, her hand started to travel slowly down his body, messaging all the way down. She messaged his pectorals, and then made her way down to his abs. Sesshomaru couldn't help a moan that escaped his lips. ' Is she… having a dream…about me?' His thoughts were cut short as Rin's hand stopped at his navel. 'Oh Gods…Rin…' Sesshomaru started panting. Rin circled his navel with her index finger.
"…Sesshomaru…" Rin moaned/whispered. 'She IS having a dream about me! But, what is she dreaming about…ah!' Rin softly inserted a finger in his navel and made circular motions.
"Rin…oh Gods, Rin…" Sesshomaru whispered in a hoarse tone. His pants increased.
Then suddenly, Rin's hand started to travel lower towards his member. That's when Sesshomaru inwardly panicked. His eyes widened. 'I can't let Rin do this to me while she's asleep! Shit! Why does this her touch have to feel so good! Sesshomaru lifted himself carefully on his elbows and shifted over so that Rin's hand would only travel to his thigh. But a strong sensation of pain shot through his being and gasped loudly as his upper body fell back to the bed, panting and gasping for air. 'Why did I have to forget about these damn wounds!' He growled inwardly.
Rin shifted again and her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Huh? Se-Sesshomaru…?" She said drowsily.
Rin looked at Sesshomaru, who was panting from the pain, and then turned her gaze to her hand that was resting comfortable above his groin. When she noticed, her eyes went huge. She pulled her hand back as if it was on fire and crawled backwards away from Sesshomaru. But then she fell of the side of the bed with a loud shriek/scream.
"Rin!" Sesshomaru yelled to see if she was all right. Rin shot up to her feet; her face flushed crimson and her chest heaving and panting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry my lord!! I didn't mean to cause you pain or touch you there!!" Rin shrieked. "Oh, I just knew I shouldn't have slept next you!! I just knew it!! I'm so sorry I hurt you!! I…I…"
"Rin, calm down, you didn't hurt me, I moved over" Rin cut him off.
"No! You moved because I was touching you!! Ugh, you must think I'm some sort of pervert or sicko'!!"
Sesshomaru raised his voice to her. "Rin! I don't think what you did was wrong!! It was just an accident; you moved your hand when you shifted in the bed!! That's all that happened! Calm down!" He left out the part about her moaning his name and feeling all over his torso.
Rin calmed her breathing. "I'm sorry…I just thought that…I mean…I didn't mean to hurt you…I shouldn't have slept in the same bed with you and…I'm sorry…" She said in a quiet voice.
"Rin, don't worry, I know you didn't mean to." Sesshomaru said softly.
"You must be so disgusted with me." Rin mumbled.
"No Rin, I'm not disgusted with you. Although, I'd like to know why you started to feel-me-up?" He raised an eyebrow at her. Rin gave a small smile, but kept the dark blush that stained her cheeks.
As Rin was about to talk, the sliding doors flew back and Inuyasha jumped into the room in attack mode, his hand rested on Tetsuiga's (sp?) hilt. Also, he was wearing no shirt, but only pants.
"What happened!? I heard screaming! Where's the…danger…eh, huh?" Inuyasha stared blankly at the sight in front of him. Rin was standing by the bed, her hair ruffled slightly and her pajama top open somewhat, from the fall, so that some of her cleavage was visible, and her face was flushed red. Then he turned to Sesshomaru, who had a surprised expression and the blankets were moved back and stopped just above Sesshomaru's lower half.
Inuyasha cocked his head back and talked suspiciously slow. "Oooookaaayy. Uhh, I thought I heard screaming, but…I guess not. 'ahem' Uhh, sorry if I disturbed you two getting frisky, I'm just gonna…"
"Inuyasha, don't be stupid. It's not at all what you think." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his brother.
"Oh really?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at them.
"Yeah, I uhh…I fell of the bed." Rin said, fully embarrassed.
Inuyasha gave her a 'look' and didn't believe a word she said. "Yeah, right, whatever. Listen, if you guys need anything, just give a call." Inuyasha relaxed and walked out of the room, but stopped at the sliding door. "Oh, and one more thing. Would you two mind keeping it down in here if you're gonna get frisky. There's other people in this house ya' know." And with that, he left room.
"Rin, come back to bed and get some rest." Sesshomaru said softly
"Sesshomaru, I don't think I should. I'll go and take Kagome's sleeping bag and"
"Rin, don't disobey my orders, especially when it's for your well being."
Rin sighed and smiled at Sesshomaru. "Why do you have to be so caring Sesshomaru. You know I can't say no to you." She walked over to the bed and laid down, only this time she was a little distant from Sesshomaru.
In minuets, Rin was asleep, but the coolness of the room caused her to shiver. Sesshomaru noticed this.
'Why can't things be easier than they are right now? Rin's been so tense lately. I wonder why?' Sesshomaru thought. He slowly raised both arms and pulled Rin closer to him, then kissed her on her forehead.
"Sleep now my Rin. I love you." Sesshomaru whispered to himself more than to her. Rin automatically snuggled into his warmth.
Now, things were starting to stitch back together.
