Forbidden
Chapter Ten

Sesshomaru continued pacing back and forth in the Library in complete torment. What was he thinking! How could he be so stupid as to mate with a human wretch? He growled as he stopped his pacing, positive that he had now paced off at least ten inches off his flooring. He took a deep breath and calmed down. Surely after last night, Rin would think he cared a little for her. Well she was terribly wrong...he cared not one iota about her.

He sighed again.

Who the hell was he trying to fool...?

Rin continued yanking on her hair, flinging her arms everywhere and kicking wherever she could. What the heck was wrong with her! She barely knew the guy and already she slept with him! Was she that into what was happening? Kagome was going to KILL her!

Flashback

The sun was shining through the balcony window, into the bed of the Demon Lord. He lay sprawled over his bed, his silver hair spread all over. A young maiden lay next to him, alseep as her head rested on his bicep, using it as a pillow. Her raven hair intertwined with his silver, and her arm was layed out across his muscular chest. The sheets covered both of them.

The Demon Lord rolled over, setting his forehead upon the maiden's, breathing in deeply, her scent drowning his nostrils. The young woman squirmed a little and opened her almond orbs. She looked up slightly and saw...

...two wide amber orbs staring at her in shock and disbelief.

She and he slowly seperated and looked at each other. Sesshomaru looked down at himself, then to her. Rin's mouth was open in apallment. Sesshomaru locked eyes with her. Oh...dear...

"What are you doing, you pig!" Rin screamed as she jumped out of the bed. Sesshomaru did as well, still not believing he had bedded a human. Rin wrapped the bed sheet around her and began throwing things.

"You sick old man! Perverted monkey! Who do you think you are?" Rin screamed as she continued to throw things at Sesshomaru, who merely dodged them.

"I'm not an old man! Nor am I a monkey or pig. I'm an inu-youkai. And you are in no right to speak to me. You're the one who was screaming my name last night..." Sesshomaru said with a smirk. Rin blushed, parshly out of rage, and out of embarrassment.

"YOU SICK TWISTED PERVERTED DOG! GET OUT! OUT, OUT! NOW!" Rin screamed. Sesshomaru obliged and quickly slipped out of the room, just as an ornament made its way to his skull. Rin was left there in the room alone. She fell to her knees and began to cry...

End Flashback

Rin felt tears coming to her eyes once more as she thought about what happened. Why...why would he do it if he didn't care? Was he really using her for her purpose now? She sat down on her knees. The door had been locked, so no one was getting in...unless Inuyasha or Sesshomaru decided to break down the door. She hugged her knees toward her chest and rested her head upon them.

Why...why is this happening now? I just want to be free...from all of this...I don't want to be here anymore. I can still imagine it all those years ago, when Mother was alive...Kagome would run around the house, overhyper for who knows why...Father would be out in the fields, helping the villagers until sunset...Mother would be tending to the gardens and teaching me as well. I would be watching her the entire time, then play with my...
Rin began to cry as she once again thought of her horse. She slowly felt her eyes once again become heavy.

I...need to get...dressed...
Rin thought before sleep overtook her.

Inuyasha sighed as he once again lead Kagome down the hallways and through the doors to Sesshomaru's room. He swore that she was way too worried for Rin...he growled as he walked to a door, just as it opened on the other side, hitting him in the face.

Kagome watched as Inuyasha fell to the floor on his bum and started to rub his poor nose. She smiled and giggled, then looked up and glared. There stood Sesshomaru...but he seemed...un-Sesshomaru like...

Sesshomaru looked paler than usual, held a blush on his cheeks and his hair was a matted mess. She also could have sworn she saw a few lumps on his head like something was thrown at him repeatedly. He glared at her, then to Inuyasha. He then muttered a long string of curses and walked past them quickly. Kagome and Inuyasha's eyes were wide at the words he used. Not even Inuyasha himself dared to say such things...

(o.o I guess Sesshomaru has quite the mouth, ne?)

Inuyasha stood up and glared at the path Sesshomaru had just taken. He looked to Kagome and huffed.

"Come on, wench..." He muttered, forgetting about the rosary around his neck. Kagome's eyebrows twitched. Did he just...?

"Inuyasha..." She mumbled. Inuyasha paused and turned around, looking at her.

"What? Don't you want to see Rin? Then hurry your lazy ass up, damn it!" Inuyasha grumbled as he crossed his arms. Kagome's eyes shot open.

"Sit! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he was yanked down to the ground, crashing numerous times, harder with each 'sit'. Kagome smirked. Inuyasha whined.

I thought I was supposed to be her master...not her...
Inuyasha thought. He dragged himself off the ground and frowned. He wasn't going to put up with this. He couldn't take the damn thing off, and he wasn't planning on begging her to do it. That was just going too far. Sesshomaru would have killed him if he found out Inuyasha was on his knees begging to a human woman.

"Damn it, that's it! I've had enough of this bull shit. Sesshomaru, I'm goin out for a while!" Inuyasha yelled. He heard the distinct sound of a growl and recognized it as an affirmation by Sesshomaru. He glared at Kagome and stomped out of the hallway, leaving the poor girl stranded. Kagome glared at Inuyasha's back and followed him out of the castle to the edge of the forest. Her breath caught.

"I-Inuyasha, you're not really planning on going into the forest are you? What about the monster-"

"I don't give a rat's ass about it! Anything to get away from an annoying whore like you!" Inuyasha yelled before quickly going into the forest. Kagome's eyes widened and began to tear up. She stared into the empty forest Inuyasha had just gone it. How...how could he...?

"Anything to get away from and annoying whore like you!"

Did he really mean that? Was he just trying to make her mad? No...Inuyasha wouldn't say something that harsh to her...she couldn't understand. Was she really that annoying? She fell to her knees as tears fell from her face.

That...jerk...

Kagome's hands covered her face. She began to cry into them.

"...an annoying whore like you!"

She looked up as a gentle hand was put on her shoulder. Her tear-filled eyes widened as they looked into a young man's face. He looked down at her with soft violet eyes. He smiled gently.

"No matter what, a man should never treat a lady as such." He spoke. Kagome smiled and stood up, wiping her tears away. She looked to the tall man. He was probably an inch or two taller than her, but that was it. She noticed the purple and black monk-like outfit he was in, and the golden earings in his ears. She looked at his hair, which confused her. He was in a monk outfit...but he had hair. Hair that was tied up in a small ponytail.

"Umm...excuse me, but who are you?" She asked. The monk blinked before smiling. Of course she would be curious.

"Ah. My name is Miroku, a traveling monk if you will. I would like to ask why such a beauty was mourning over a demon?" Miroku asked. Kagome blinked. What...?

"Uhh...well, he's a hanyou actually. A dog-hanyou." Kagome said. Miroku looked surprised for a moment. So, demon and human bonds were still going around...

"I see...you wouldn't happen to love him, would you?" Miroku asked. Kagome turned red.

"No! Never! That pompous ass doesn't deserve any type of love! He doesn't even deserve pity! I hate him! With a damn passion!" Kagome yelled into the forest. Miroku blinked, surprised at her outburst.

"I see...then that means my Lady is still single, as you would put it?" Miroku asked. Kagome huffed.

"Of course I am..." She mumbled. She then felt something on her butt. She looked confused at first, then turned to look, only to see the monk with his hand on her behind. Her eyes widened.

What kind of monk...!

"YOU SICK PERSON! YOU SAY A MAN SHOULD NEVER TREAT A WOMAN LIKE THAT, YET YOU--ARGH! QUIT TOUCHING ME YOU PHSYCOTIC FREAK!" Kagome screamed. Miroku smiled warily before a couple of fists made their way to his face...

"Hiraikotsu!" A woman yelled as she threw her boomerang towards a young man. He glared at the flying weapon and quickly rolled to the side and ducked as it came around again. He took out his sickle and threw it, hitting his target, but being blocked by her weapon. He scowled as he tried to gain his weapon back, but she kept a firm hold on it.

"Come on, Kohaku! You must be on guard at all times, Sango will not go easy on you this time." Said a gruff voice. The young man growled in frustration.

"I'm trying father, but I just...I'm just not a fighter! Why can't you accept that!" Kohaku yelled. The man glared.

"No son of mine in the Demon Slayer Village is going to claim that he's not a fighter. Look at your sister! She's the best I've ever seen!" He yelled. Kohaku looked down in shame. That was true. His older sister was just better than him...

Sango dropped the Hirakotsu and walked over to her brother as their father walked into the house. The sun began to set as she smiled at him.

"It's okay Kohaku. You'll get better one day, I promise." Sango said with an assuring smile as she put her hand on her brother's shoulder. Kohaku just sighed.

"Yeah, yeah...why can't that day be soon?" He asked. "I don't even have a girlfriend...all the other boys do though..." He muttered. Sango shook her head jokingly.

"Oh, you big on, let's go inside for now. We'll train more in the morning. And just think, your first mission in three days. Aren't you excited? You get to escort a king with me to a demon's castle. Maybe we'll be able to fight there, ne?" Sango said with a grin. Kohaku just walked beside her sullenly. His sister loved to fight...but he didn't. He preferred the silence of peace than the roars of war.

"Yeah...maybe..." Kohaku said. Sango frowned. Kohaku seemed to be down in the dumps with this fighting/girlfriend business...she sighed to herself. She couldn't do anything. This was something he had to solve on his own...

"So, is this where you live?" Miroku asked as he followed Kagome into the castle. Kagome quickly turned around.

"What do you think you're doing? Get outta here! He's gonna kill you if another human is in-"

Too late.

"Who are you, ningen?" A cold voice asked. Miroku looked over Kagome's shoulderto see Sesshomaru standing there with a scowl on his face. Miroku smiled.

"Ah. Kagome-sama, is this your youkai slave? He is very well tamed, and seems quite strong as well." Miroku said. Kagome's jaw dropped. Did he just say Sesshomaru was her...slave?

Sesshomaru growled.

Who does this human think he is? How dare he suggest that this Sesshomaru is the slave to a human whore! I will teach him...he'll never mistake me as a slave again, not to mention his head will have a hard time finding his body...
Sesshomaru thought. He began walking towards Miroku, when Kagome suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the door. Sesshomaru's eyes widened at the speed this woman had.

Miroku merely looked in confusion as they left through a chamber door.

Inuyasha growled as he shoved another branch out of his face. He sighed in relief as he came to the other side of the forest. And Kagome thought he'd get hurt...yeah right.

Damn her...I hate her so much! She just wants to make my life miserable...all thanks to that damn jewel...if it wasn't for it, I wouldn't have this damn restraint around my neck. Hm...
Inuyasha stopped walking when he thought that he could take a rest. He jumped intoa tree and closed his eyes. Stupid girl...if she thought that he was going to let her get the best of him, she was sadly mistaken.

He didn't see the pair of crimson eyes watching him in the shadows of the forest...

Kagome sighed of relief as she walked back out the door to see Miroku examining a picture. Miroku looked over to her and smiled.

"Ah. I figured there was a problem with you and your servant, so I decided to not interfere. So, Kagome-sama, is it alright if I stay the night here in your castle?" Miroku asked. Kagome coughed a little, surprised that he would ask such a thing. She was shocked when he thought the castle was hers, but to stay the night? The deal she made with Sesshomau might not have covered this...

"Uhh...s-sure you can stay the night, in my castle...but you'll have to leave first thing in the morning." Kagome said. Miroku thanked her.

"Um...s-servant! Come please..." Kagome began to feel extremely stupid. Sesshomaru growled and blushed as he walked out into the area. Kagome began to pray that he wouldn't punish her after this was over.

Sesshomaru began speaking in a struggled voice.

"Yes master..." Sesshomaru struggled to say. He was glad Inuyasha was out, otherwise the foolish hanyou would make fun of him for this days on end. Kagome smiled, glad that Sesshomaru was actually playing along with her.

Miroku followed as Sesshomaru showed him where he would be sleeping.

Why am I doing this? This Sesshomaru should not be playing a servant...I should disembowl this human right now...
He growled. But he had made a promise, and Sesshomaru never breaks his promises...

"So, demon...what is your main role in the castle to serve the lady?" Miroku asked with a smirk. Sesshomaru's face went pale.

(grins) Sorry for not updating. I'm running out of ideas currently. I won't have time for the review response, so see ya!
