Hello! Well, our move has been postponed for two or three weeks, so I may be able to update some more. Anyway, please read and enjoy.

Forbidden
Chapter Fifteen

"We need to talk." Rin said in a deadly tone. Sesshomaru growled, grabbing her wrist tightly and causing her to wince and hiss in pain.

"Yes, Rin. We do." He growled out, yanking her into the castle, leaving a blinking Inuyasha and Kagome behind them. Rin glared at his head and struggled to yank her wrist out of his iron grip, causing him to turn around and narrow his eyes at her. Rin bravely looked up into his sharp eyes and glared straight into them.

"Let me go!" She screamed at him. Sesshomaru, merely ignoring her, continued to pull her toward the castle, through the doors, and up the stairs. Rin's eyes widened.

I know this path...we're going to his room! I don't want to go back there, not after what happened!
Rin thought. She immediately began flailing about, screaming, kicking, scratching and punching him wherever she could reach. Sesshomaru growled and slammed her into a nearby wall, making her bang her head against it, creating a dent within the wall. Rin winced as he grabbed her by the throat and began lifting her off the floor, still pushed against the wall.

"Se...Se..." Rin struggled. She barely opened one eye and glanced down at him. His eyes were a dark shade of crimson, his pupils were barely noticeable since they were narrowed so much. She squeezed her eyes shut again and struggled to breathe. She began to squeeze on his wrist, trying to break it off of their choke-hold.

Sesshomaru continued to choke her as she continuously flailed at him. He growled at her as she began to slowly stop movement. He glared at her and put her down, watching as her limp form fell to the floor. He picked her up bridal-style, carrying her down the hall. He glanced down at her unconscious face, before looking ahead, going to the door of his room.

She's a human...a concubine. She is my slave. She has no right to bed with me...
Sesshomaru thought. He glanced over to the metal door besides his own. He looked back down to Rin.

It's time for everything to be back to the way it was, Rin.
Sesshomaru thought. He walked over to the metal door, opened it, and set Rin down upon the metal bed. He looked to the floor to see the pillow and cover he had given her.

I practically raped her that night...
He scowled. He grabbed them off the ground and wrapped the cover around her body, setting the pillow beneath her head. He turned around, stood inside the doorway. He looked to her calmly sleeping form again, before closing the metal door, and locking Rin in the room.

Sango cried out as another branch from the Fukai Mori reached out at her.

"Take this!" She looked behind her to see Miroku throw an enchanted sutra at the branch, mentally sighing in relief as it vaporized into little mini pieces.

"Hey! Stop helping me, Miroku!" Sango yelled at him. It wasn't that she was worried, but it was that she didn't want to have the death of an 'innocent' man upon her shoulders. Miroku simply smirked.

"Sorry Sango, but you're really not in the position to tell me what to do! Just keep running, and don't worry about what I do!" He yelled back at her from behind. Sango shook her head. She squinted her eyes as she glanced up ahead.

A light...we must be close to the end of the Fukai Mori. Let's just hope we can make it until there...
Sango thought as she took a dive under another branch. She jumped over a log, then grinned as she rolled out into the clearing.

"Aaaahhh!" She turned around to see Miroku caught with three branches. She scowled. Damn...what was she going to do?

"Argh...stupid monk..." Sango growled. She then took hold of her Hiraikotsu and twirled it.

"Hiraikotsu!" She yelled. The boomerang flew at the branches at sliced them in pieces. Miroku blinked, looked at Sango, and smiled.

"Why thank you Sango. I never knew you felt that way about me." Miroku said cheerily. Sango twitched.

I knew I shouldn't have saved him...
Sango thought in annoyance. She glared at him, then turned around and began running back into the castle. If Miroku got into trouble again, he was his own.

"Sango! Come back, my love!" Miroku yelled, running after her. He had a perverted grin on his face as well.

In the distance, you could hear a 'SMACK' resounding through the air.

Inuyasha helped Kagome walk through the castle hallways as she stumbled here and there. Kagome merely pushed him away, too worried about her sister too much to worry for her wounds. She winced as she began to fall once more, only to be picked up bridal-style and carried down the hall.

Kagome scowled as she was carried. She wasn't weak...she could walk! What was wrong with him?

"Hey! Let me go!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha glanced down at her, then looked back to where he was walking. Kagome's eyes widened as she realized they were changing directions from Sesshomaru's room, which was most likely where Rin was, to Inuyasha's room.

"I-Inuy-yasha! W-where are you t-taking me?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha didn't respond to her. He merely continued walking down the hall, holding Kagome in his arms. Kagome blushed, began wriggling, and failed miserably.

"Inuyasha...where are you taking me...? And why?" Kagome asked him. She looked to her chest, eyes softening at the scar left behind of when she was cut through. She still didn't know who killed her...

A shiver ran up her spine. And she didn't want to know, either. Who was heartless enough to kill someone from behind? The coward. She despised whoever it was who was stupid enough to do such an unhonorable thing.

"My room." She blinked. She looked up to Inuyasha.

"What?" She said questioningly. Inuyasha mentally sighed in aggravation.

"You asked where we were going. And I said we were going to my room." Inuyasha said again. Kagome began to blush. She knew it...

"But you didn't respond to the other part of my question. Why?" She asked. Inuyasha seemed to smirk.

"That's because I specifically ignored it, stupid girl."

"My name is Kagome." She glared at him. Inuyasha shrugged.

"It's all the same..."

"No it isn't!"

"Yes it is!"

"Argh! Inuyasha!" Kagome pinched his arm, making him let go of her. She turned and walked a few steps.

"Sit boy!"

The girl...I want the girl...

He growled as he looked to the pulsing sword once more. How did Touga stand this weapon? It was so annoying...

"Be silent, Souunga. We must await Midoriko's arrival in this world. Then you may have her blood."

Or what will be left of it...

No...the girl's blood...I want her blood...

Khan scowled some more. Stupid sword...doesn't know how to be silent.

"I said quiet." Souunga stopped it's pulsing and seemed to be at rest. But Khan knew it was not because of him. He turned around to see a glowing light before him. He smirked.

"Ah, Midoriko. You have decided to join us at last." Khan said, as a young maiden appeared before him, wounded on her wrists and ankles. She glared up at him from the ground.

"What...? What sorcery is this? How have you released us from the Shikon no Tama?" Midoriko asked him. Khan smirked.

"You didn't really think that I would stay in that place forever, did you? Honestly Midoriko...you know I would have found a way..." He said. Midoriko narrowed her eyes.

"Then how did you bring us here?"

"She was born. She changed all of our Fates. You were able to leave as well, but you never paid any attention to the living realm as I had. I knew she would be born one day..." Khan responded. Midoriko did not understand.

She was born? Who was born? Who is this woman he speaks of? Is she the one that released us? Did Khan use her somehow? I must kill him before it is too late...
Midoriko thought. She thrust her hands forward, prepared to purify him with her powers, but it seemed Khan was one step ahead of her. The same metal-like threads flew out of the darkness and wrapped around her, immobilizing her. Midoriko scowled.

Damn him...
"Ahh...now, now Midoriko. It is rude to attack an opponent who is not armed..." Khan said mockingly. Midoriko knew he was capable of using his entire body as a weapon though.

"You...monster..." Midoriko whispered harshly. Khan shrugged at her remark.

"Better a monster than dead, right?" He raised the Souunga abover her head, preparing to strike down.

"She held a power within her...a power that outdid your own magic." Khan said, before he swung down upon her.

Naraku scowled as he watched Khan kill Midoriko through a mirror.

"Kanna, I wish to see the one he speaks of..." Naraku scowled as he spoke this. The young child in front of him holding the mirror wore all white, with black, soulless eyes. She had a white flower on both sides of her snow white hair as well.

"I cannot...she is not of this world..." Kanna said slowly and quietly. Naraku's eyes narrowed.

A dead woman then...? He did not know.

"Then show me her soul. I do not care. But I will be damned before I allow someone to overpower me..." Naraku seethed. He desired it...he desired Khan's power. He would kill that wretched beast and absorb his energy into himself. Then no one would be able to defeat Naraku, the strongest youkai of all three worlds...

"Yes master..." Kanna spoke softly again. He looked into the mirror as a form began to take shape. Naraku's eyes widened in shock.

Impossible...!

Rin moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the darkened room, trying to sit up, but her head pounded and she eventually had to close her eyes again. She sat up anyway, hissing in pain as her throat burned and her mind swirled in darkness.

"Wha...?" She looked around, then noticed the metal walls, floor and the whip on the one side of the room. Her eyes widened. She was here again!

She quickly got out of bed, screaming slightly as she stumbled and fell to the metal floor. She hissed in pain as her knees pounded from hitting the metal flooring. She looked up to the door and glared. She ran to it, trying to open it only to find it locked from the other side.

"Sesshomaru! Open up, now!" Rin screamed as she banged on the door with her fists. She felt tears burn the edges of her eyes. She was afraid. She was afraid of being stuck in here for good. She continued banging on the door, squeezing her eyes shut from the pain.

"Open up! Someone, please!" She screamed.

"Be quiet girl!" She heard a familiar voice yell at her. Rin's moistened eyes widened. Jaken...?

"Jaken! Open the door, please! I must speak with Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin yelled, sure to call Sesshomaru's name with a -sama at the end. She listened outside the door, listened for anything.

"Stupid wench! I will not let you out unless Sesshomaru-sama said so!" Jaken yelled at her from the other side. Rin closed her eyes again. She did not want anything to do with this place anymore...she wanted nothing to do with the castle, the servants, Inuyasha, Jaken...and especially nothing to do with Sesshomaru.

"Please...please..." Rin whispered, the tears flowing down her face now. She was mad...mad at everything. Mad at her life for being so, mad at her family for dieing, mad at Kagome for protecting her and making her weak. Mad at Sesshomaru for taking the last thing she had, mad at her Father for abusing her and making afraid of everything. Mad at herself...for being the way she was.

"Someone...help me...I don't want to be here..." She mumbled against the cold door. She slowly began to slide down it, to the floor. The tears stained the steel, as she began to cry against it. Suddenly, the door opened, but Rin did not notice it. She merely fell to the floor, being caught by a pair of gentle hands that held her carefully.

Rin continued to cry into the chest that they brought her to. She grasped the white haori tightly as if it were her saving life. She calmed slightly, looking up into her 'saviors' face. Her eyes were blurred by the tears, but she was shocked when a clawed thumb gently wiped them away. She blushed slightly, then looked down at herself, trying to ignore the crossed scar across his face.

Why? Why does my body feel like it's flying? Why does my heart beat so when I see him or he is near? Why is he doing this to me...?
Rin began crying again. She hated him...she hated him so much. He could rot in the deepest pit of Hell, along with her Father.

"Rin..." She heard his gentle voice speak. She snuggled into his haori, hiding her face into his chest. She smiled slightly as she blushed. She hated him though...so why was she acting this way?

"Sesshomaru...please...let me go..." Rin whispered before closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

"Sesshomaru...please...let me go..."

"...please...let me go..."

"...let me go..."

It echoed in his head. He didn't understand why his heart tightened immediately at those words. What did she mean? Set her down? Release her from her slavery? ...Allow her to leave him and the castle?

Why did he allow her to control him? When Jaken had told him that Rin was crying, he had rushed to the door, only to see she was indeed pouring her eyes out. He felt terrible. He had lifted her into his chest...and he had felt...relieved to see her again.

What is wrong with me? I am acting like a love-sick puppy. I should not be trying to comfort a human woman. I should not be worrying over the meaning of her spoken words. Damn it! Get it together, you are a demon. This woman is a human. You despise the humans, you hate them, kill them. They deserve no life.
Sesshomaru thought as he walked over to his room and opened the door, setting Rin upon his bed. He looked at her, his eyes roaming over her body. He felt his member harden as he reached her breasts, then slid down her stomach, to her entrance. He scowled. What was he doing!

"I am losing my mind..." Sesshomaru mumbled. He stood up and walked out of the balcony door attached to his room. He looked out into the Fukai Mori and growled. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His eyebrows squinched as he caught an unfamiliar scent.

Lillies...? And cherries? A musk as well...
Sesshomaru followed the scent that entranced/aroused him and stopped dead when he saw it was coming from Rin. He felt himself harden even more and growled, the corner of his eyes beginning to bleed red. He wanted her. He needed her. Sesshomaru scowled, then went to lock the door, walking back to the bed.

He shred his own and Rin's clothing, and got into the bed...

And...that's a wrap. Someone thought that Rin saw Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's father while she was naked. This is false. If you re-read the chapter, you will know that Shippo gave Rin his haori, which is the top layer of what Sesshomaru and Inuyasha wear in the episodes.
