Chapter Two
Smiling slightly Sesshoumaru takes her hand, but instead of letting her pull him he pushes her back, his hand on the small of her back guiding her down.
His weight atop her presses her firmly into the mattress and she sighs, her eyes closing as his mouth traces her neck and shoulder line, trailing down to her collarbone.
Her hands trace his spine down his back, hovering at the small of his back and tracing his hips lightly, her claws trailing. His growl, temporarily halted when she had pushed him away, begins anew as her hands float over him, changing in pitch as she slowly draws the backs of her knuckles up the sides of his chest to his arms. Lightly she teases his pointed ear with her mouth, blowing on it slightly.
One of his claws slides down, slipping under the top of her panties and she rolls her hips slightly against him, practically purring as his talons slowly draw them down her legs, his mouth trailing kisses down her belly until the garment is sliding slowly off her feet, dropping to the floor at the foot of the bed.
She gasps as his mouth finds her again, the silk of his boxers rubbing slowly against the most sensitive places. He smiles slightly against her mouth taking her hand and drawing it to his boxers, leaving her hand there, just above the top, letting her make the decision.
Her hands stroke the silk around his hips slowly, earning another change in pitch in his passionate growl before slowly hooking the top of his boxers in her claws as he had. Smiling slightly to herself she suddenly grips him with her one free hand and rolls them both over until she is lying flush atop him. He stares up at her, his eyes staring deep into hers a moment before they close slowly as she slides her body down his slowly, trailing kisses down his chest to his belly. As she moves further down Rin slides the boxers off his hips, not getting them to his knees before he grabs her shoulder lightly, pulling slightly. She rises up a little at he pulls her up his body again, impatiently kicking off the boxers as he does. She smiles ever so slightly at his impatience before bracing her elbows on either side of his head. Her breasts press against his chest as she leans close, her lips meeting his in an ever increasing passion. The feel of his skin against her, nothing between them now nearly drives her from her mind with excitement, only the feel of his mouth on hers keeps her in check, though barely.
Her heart beat, when before had steadily quickened, races wildly now as his hands roam her flesh. She can feel his heart beathing just as swiftly as hers, his breath nearly panting in her ear as he nips slighlty at her earlobe.
He reaches down slowly, one hand sliding between her legs her breath hitches and she stills as he touches her there. He watches her, studying her expression. He shifts his fingers slightly against her center and she audibly moans, her hands tightening on him as her eyes drift closed. She can feel him against her leg and she presses her hips against him, his hand and his erection agains her making her insane with need.
Seemingly sensing her growing urgency he swiftly flips them back over, his hands capturing her wrists and lifting them, pinning them against the mattress near her head. Her eyes widen slightly but she doesn't fight him, watching breathlessly as he aligns himself to her.
A look of sudden indecision suddenly crosses his face and he is about to speak when Rin lifts her head, nipping his lower lip. He quiets, lowing his head to hers and kissing her will all his passion and longing as he slowly enters her.
If not for his kiss Rin would have moaned aloud. Her body stretchest to accomidate him as he slowly presses himself into her, carefully schooling himself to patience that had taken many many years to master. Rin writhes in passion beneath him, his control slipping as she digs her heels into the mattress, rising to meet him. A slight pinch and one brief, flaring pain is all she feels as he seats himself in her completely. Rin gasps against his mouth, her hands clenching where he has them pinned against the mattress. They both lie still a moment, breathless hearts racing with ther passion before Rin shifts her hips slightly, a sign for him to continue.
Slowly he moves within her, Rin quickly matching his rythem and they move as one, one heart, one soul, one mind.
Her passion builds quickly. tremors and waves rocking her body as she matches him thrust for thrust, passion with passion. His claws dig into her wrists as she wraps her legs around his hips, tiling her hips up slightly to allow him deeper into herself.
His lips suddenly leave hers and he presses his forehead against her shoulder, panting hard against her skin. Rin does as well, the pure lust within her so immense she feels as if she will break any second. His thrust become faster, harder with each passing second and she meets him, her hips clinging to him tighter as the lust continues to build. Her entire body trembles and she nearly pulls her wrists from his grip. Sensing this he releases her hands and she reaches back, bracing herself against the headboard behind her. He smiles down at her, bracing himself on his elbows on either side of her head as he continues to thrust into her with growing urgency.
Just when she feels as if she can't take it any more her climax over takes her and she reaches up, pulling him down to her swiftly and releasing her loud moan of pure passion into his mouth. He continues to thrust, his climax following swiftly behind hers and he suddenly stops, buried deep within her as thier climaxes overtake them both.
Seconds pass by slowly, the rising moon through the open curtains spreading pale moonlight across the bed where they lay. Both still pant slightly from their lovemaking, still in the same position they had been in. Rin can feel him within her still and she considers keeping him there but slowly slides her feet down his long legs.
Sesshoumaru allows himself to relax against her, his forehead agian resting on her shoulder and thier breathing slows. All around them the house is still quiet, silent.
Rin lifts her head slightly, about to speak when Sesshoumaru presses his lips to hers once more, a gently, loving kiss. She wraps her arms around his neck, sighing softly as he slowly withdraws himself from her.
He rises slowly, sliding from the bed. She continues to lie on the bed, watching him in the pale moonlight. His pale. long hair seems to glow in the moonlight, his pale skin making him look almost surreal, god like. For a brief moment she wonders how a magnificant creature like him could ever come to love someone like her but one look in his eyes gives her all the answer she needs. He holds a hand out to her, a small smile on his face.
"Come."
She extends her hand slowly, letting her fingers slip into his. As he pulls her to her feet her legs give out and he catches her. She laughs softly, slightly embarrassed but he kisses it away, guiding her toward the bathroom.
"You need a shower Rin." He says slightly, his words echoing ones she had heard so long ago. She chuckles, suddenly feeling brave as she toys with a lock of his hair.
"You do as well, my lord." He hesitates, staring down at her solemnly.
"Please, say my name." She looks up at him, her heart in her eyes.
"Sesshoumaru." Just her whispering his name sends a shiver down his spine and he closes his eyes a second before smiling, guiding her into the bathroom and shutting the door quietly.
When the morning dawns Lord Sesshoumaru wakes first, his arms still encircling a sleeping Rin. Slowly, so as not to awaken her, he reaches up, brushing a fingertip up one ear. In her sleep Rin smiles, snuggling closer to him. After thier lovemaking last night they had returned to bed, both swiftly encompassed by sleep in each others arms.
As he lies in bed beside Rin with his arm around her waist he listents to Kagome and Inuyasha roaming about before he glances at the clock. Noting how late in the morning it is he sighs, slowly untwining himself from Rin and rising, gathering his clothes. Rin wakes, watching him with a smile before rising as well, picks some clothes from the closet.
As Rin dresses she glances at the calendar on her desk, stopping in mid stride. Todays date, clearly circled in red. She finishes putting on her shirt and sits at the desk, turning slowly to stare at the bed.
"I knew this was going to happen." She says quietly. "At least i got one night with him." Sighing, she rises, flipping her hair back over her shoulder as she leaves the room.
Inuyasha glances at his brother questioningly as he sits across the table from him. His brother sits quietly, glancing around the room. Kagome glances once at Inuyasha but says nothing.
Moments later Rin comes in, seating herself beside Sesshoumaru with a hearty greeting to them.
"So, what are you guys going to do today?" Kagome asks.
"I want to make another round today. Some demons have started showing up along the southern city limits. I want to spend some time down there incase they start making trouble." Kagome nods.
"What about you?" She asks Sesshoumaru. He glances at Rin before answering.
"I thought I would go with Rin."
"I can handle it." She says nonchalantly. He glances at her questioningly, Rin knowing that he seem slightly put off by her sudden mood change. "I was going to ask if you could stay here and watch over the shrine for me while I'm gone." He hesitates, his fork hovering in mid air as he looks at her. She keeps eating, avoiding his gaze. Slightly befuddled he nods.
"All right."
Less than an hour later Sesshoumaru notes Rin's absence. Sighing he resigns himself to perching atop the shrine's entrance. He scans the city sprawled out before him, looking for any sign of Rin but he sees nothing.
"What is it?" He glances to the side as Inuyasha lands beside him, ears perked forward.
"Nothing." Inuyasha's ears twitch back slightly and he grins.
"Go on." Sesshoumaru frowns, looking at his younger brother.
"What?" Inuyasha nods toward the city.
"Go after her." Sesshoumaru shakes his head.
"No. She made it evident this morning that I remain here." He states. Inuyasha chuckles, drawing another glance from him.
"Since when have you ever listened to anyone?" Inuyasha asks. "You're the mighty Lord Sesshoumaru." He says mockingly. "Since when have you ever done anything anyone told you to do?" Sesshoumaru's eyes narrow at his brother as the younger one winks. Smiling slightly Sesshoumaru stands.
"Right mutt." It is the younger brother's turn to glare but it is cut short as Sesshoumaru suddenly spins, staring wide eyed toward the South. Inuyasha stands as well, recognizing the tense posture of his brother.
"What is it now?" He says quietly.
Sesshoumaru scents the air slightly, eyes widening further as he catches the scent again.
"Impossible." He whispers. Inuyasha creeps closer, lowering his voice.
"What is it?" He insists, scenting the air. He frowns, breathing deeply.
"Odd. That smells almost like…" He glances at Sesshoumaru, uncomfortable with the older brother's expression. "That smells kind of like you. Do you know who it is?" Sesshoumaru nods.
"Yes."
"Well, who is it?" Inuyasha asks impatiently.
"Tell Kagome to stay in the house then follow me. Don't waste time." He says sternly before leaping into the air, hopping rooftops swiftly toward the South. Inuyasha stares after his brother, slightly confused, before sighing and leaping down to the ground and heading for the house.
Sesshoumaru follows Rin, keeping just out of range of her senses. As he leaps from rooftop to rooftop and the scent on the wind grows stronger, his mind races.
He is here. It has to be him. Why? How? I can smell the scent but I still cannot believe it. He thinks as he scans the area ahead of him, picking up Rin's form far ahead. What does Rin have to do with all this?
As they reach the southern end of the city Rin keeps going, only slowing slightly as she enters the trees. The forest at the southern end of the city stretches on for miles, nearly a straight line to the great mountain Fiji in the distance.
Unable to track her from the treetops Sesshoumaru drops down to the ground, winding his way through the trees. Not far in he feels his brother approaching, reminding himself to commend Inuyasha later. Little mutt sure has gotten better at sneaking up on me. He thinks with a slight chuckle.
Ahead of him Rin suddenly stops and he sidesteps smoothly behind a tree, though he knew it would be futile if she detected him. Instead of turning Rin kneels on the ground, one knee touching the forest floor with her head bowed. He watches her, silent.
Inuyasha catches up to him several minutes later, appearing behind a tree near him. He nods toward Rin questioningly but Sesshoumaru shakes his head, shrugging in bewilderment.
The scent in the air suddenly becomes much stronger and both brothers look up as several twigs snap across the small clearing from Rin. She does not move as an immense white dog demon emerges from the woods, stopping before her.
Inuyasha glances at Sesshoumaru and he nods, motioning to Inuyasha to stay where he is.
"Rin, you look well." Rin stands, smiling.
"You do as well my lord. "She says as the dog demon transforms to his human form. Bright gold eyes smile at her as he extends his arms. She smiles and hugs the lord before stepping back. "Is there any news from the southern borders my lord?" He nods, leaning against a nearby tree.
"There were some demons making trouble along the South eastern border but I handled it. It was easy." Rin chuckles, shaking her head slightly.
"They wouldn't be much for you, lord." The demon lord suddenly frowns at her. Rin looks away, not meeting his gaze.
"Why do you keep calling me lord? And why do you smell like a male?" He suddenly grins. "You finally found a mate did you?" Rin's eyes widen and the demon chuckles. She smiles slightly. "Drop the lord, all right?" Rin swallows, glancing directly at Sesshoumaru where he is near the tree before nodding.
"Of course, Inutaisho."
Inuyasha's audible gasp turns them both around, Inutaisho immediately rounding Rin and planting himself between her and the trees.
"Who's there?" He demands. Sesshoumaru, shaken by hearing his father's voice again, hesitates a second before moving around the tree. Inuyasha follows, equally as hesitant. When the four stand facing each other, Rin moves around Inutaisho and stands beside Sesshoumaru, one hand on his arm.
"What are you doing here? I told you to stay at the shrine." She says quietly. He glances down at her, coming out of his reverie.
"What is he doing here?"
"I was reincarnated." Inutaisho states, looking from Sesshoumaru to Inuyasha. Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru stare at one another a moment, two fierce gold gazes meeting before Inutaisho suddenly frowns.
"I know you." Sesshoumaru nods.
"You should. You should know both of us." He states, gesturing toward Inuyasha as well. Inutaisho suddenly smiles slightly.
"My sons." Sesshoumaru nods.
"Hello father."
Rin steps back as the brothers approach their father, easily slipping into the trees and away.
This is their time now. She thinks to herself as she leaps up, into the tree and from branch to branch, heading toward the city. I have no right to be there. She sighs. I knew this day would come. I just wish I could have had him to myself for a little while longer. Feeling the familiar, cold fingers gripping her heart she stops, scenting the air around her where she crouches on the tree branch.
Catching a scent on the breeze she growls deep in her chest, her ears pinning back.
Demons. These demons are attacking the farms again. Without hesitation she turns, heading toward the farmlands to the southeast.
It is not until dark that the three dog demons return to the shrine. Inuyasha goes first, hurrying into the house yelling for Kagome as Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho follow. The two chuckle when they see Inuyasha dragging an exasperated Kagome behind him. Glancing around him Sesshoumaru notices that Rin is nowhere to be seen, her scent still hours old. He frowns, scanning the grounds as Inuyasha stammers out an explanation.
"Kagome, where is Rin." Sesshoumaru states, turning back toward the miko. She frowns.
"She hasn't returned since she left this morning. She didn't come back with you?" He shakes his head, turning back toward the shrine entrance.
He tracks her scent easily back to the spot where they had met earlier, growing frustrated when he has to take a few minutes to try and catch her scent again where she'd left. Finally finding it he changes into his dog demon form, easily loping through the woods.
Long before he gets there Sesshoumaru can smell blood. Lots of it. Demon blood and human mixed so strong he nearly chokes from it.
He finds the first of many destroyed homesteads within minutes, following Rin's scent and the scattered human bodies far into the night. Finding the last of the homesteads he realizes that he is very close to Mount Fiji. Pausing for a moment he stares up at the mountain, his own silent thoughts running through his mind.
Suddenly picking up her scent again Sesshoumaru turns, his thoughts racing as the wind tells him what it knows.
Rin is moving. Toward the mountain it seems like. Another scent stains the wind and he growls. Blood.
It is not until near sunrise that he finds her. A few drops of blood here and there seem to blaze a trail up the mountainside, finally leading him to a small cave in the side of the mountain. The cave being too small he transforms, striding purposefully into the cave.
"Rin?" Nothing answers at first, and then he hears a shuffle in the back of the cave. He stops as something growls angrily, steel glinting in the near darkness.
"Easy Rin, it is just me." He says, holding up his hands. The growling suddenly stops, the sword she carries wavering slightly.
"I don't know that." Rin's voice says quietly, an edge to her voice. "If you're a fake like the last one, leave now or else you'll end up like that one." The sword shifts to the side, Sesshoumaru catching sight of a body lying hear the cave wall. He stares, wide-eyed, at himself.
"It's all right Rin, it's really me." He insists, wisely remaining where he is.
"Prove it." He sighs, thinking back.
"Remember the spring?" The sword wavers.
"Keep going." Rin says wearily.
"I took off my shoes and sat with you in the spring." The sword hesitates, and then drops to the ground with a loud clatter.
"Sesshoumaru. It's really you." Rin says quietly, her voice deeply relieved. He nods, striding forward quickly.
"I came looking for you when you didn't come back to the shrine." Before he can reach her Rin suddenly drops to her knees, into the dawning light of the sun behind him. Deep wounds spread blood over most of her body, her clothes soaked with it. Her eyes are distant, unnerving to him. She sits back onto her legs slowly, staring up at him.
"They were killing the humans. I tried to stop them but there were too many." She says quietly. Before he can respond her canine like ears suddenly fold back as she pitches sideways to the floor.
"Rin!"
