Rin woke not long after Sesshoumaru had. She grinned to herself seeing Sesshoumaru curled up against Kiyota who was holding her. Her little match making attempt was working quite nicely. She would have both a mother and father before she was done. Kiyota herself woke arching her back into something solid. She felt the warmth around her mid section as well. She had forgotten she was in Sesshoumaru's bed. She also felt one of his well muscled legs over hers as well. She softly groaned. She wasn't getting up without waking him.
"Ugh this is your fault Rin." Kiyota said.
"I know." The little girl said smiling.
"Brat." Kiyota said with a smile. Rin just beamed up at the woman holding her. "How am I suppose to get up without waking his majesty up?" She asked.
"You simply move because his majesty is awake." Sesshoumaru husky voice came. Kiyota inwardly groaned. He had a very sexy morning voice.
"I would move Sesshoumaru-sama but someone has his leg thrown over mine as well as his arm around my midsection." She said.
"I'll tell him to move then." Sesshoumaru said.
"Did he just make a joke? Rin did he really just attempt humor?" Kiyota said. Rin just nodded smiling. "He's strange in the morning isn't he?" Rin shook her head no.
"Lord Sesshoumaru is just joking with you." Rin said. Kiyota buried her face back into the pillow groaning.
"I'm not a morning person." came her muffled voice. Sesshoumaru nuzzled his face into her neck speaking against her skin.
"Its no longer morning Kiyota." He said softly letting his breathe play across her skin. He laughed softly feeling her shiver. "Do we not enjoy this?" He asked for her ears only. He heard her growl his reply. "That was very unladylike." Sesshoumaru said moving his face from her shoulder.
"Get off me you damn arrogant mutt." She groaned trying to get his leg off of hers. Sesshoumaru just left it relaxed. It was dead weight against her.
"Perhaps I'm too comfortable to move." Sesshoumaru said. Rin snuggled into Kiyota's chest making herself more comfortable.
"Oh both of you will pay for this later." Kiyota groaned. "I will tickle you to death Rin. Starting...now!" Kiyota said viciously tickling the little girls side making her go into fits of laugher wiggling to get away.
"Tickle Sesshoumaru-sama! He is the one who won't let you get up!" Rin screamed between fits of laughter.
"Ah yes but you were the one who insisted I sleep with both of you." Kiyota said tickling her. "Besides he isn't ticklish."
"Yes he is. Right across his..."
"Rin do not." Sesshoumaru said.
"Right across his belly and behind his knees." Rin said quietly.
"Traitor." Sesshoumaru hissed.
"Really now?" Kiyota said with an evil smirk.
"You will not live." Sesshoumaru threatened.
"I'm not scared." Kiyota said reaching down with one hand to his knee that was holding her captive and vicious tickled it. He attempted to jerk it away but failed miserably. "Rin help me tickle him." Kiyota said. Rin gladly jumped from her place and dove on Sesshoumaru tickling his belly and sides. Sesshoumaru tried to fight the laughter but he couldn't. He had such a deep laugh. Kiyota couldn't help but think it was sexy to hear the man laugh. His leg was off her enough so she could shift in his arms which she did to face him. Her hands went from his knees to his sides tickling him there.
"Why are we tickling just me? Aren't you girls ticklish too?" He asked turning his lethal claws on them. He knew he didn't even have to touch Rin to make her giggle but he had to find some way to get Kiyota. "Rin help me!" Sesshoumaru said turning his claws on Kiyota. She yelped and tried to get away but it was far to late. Sesshoumaru viciously tickled her sides, Rin as well went for her sides.
"Evil both of you! Evil!" Kiyota yelled between fits of laughter. When Sesshoumaru finally stopped his torment on the poor woman he realized they were almost nose to nose. He released her so she could slip from the bed. The moment she was out of the bed he wished he'd kept her under the sheets. The clothing she wore was nothing he cared to see her in. He felt himself harden painful at the sight of her long legs. He groaned before quickly setting Rin down on the floor.
"Go dress." He said to her. Rin smiled and ran off. Kiyota herself turned from him heading for her room. Sesshoumaru let her go without a word.
As promised there was a stack of kimonos waiting for Kiyota in her room. She went through the pile and found a simple black one with a silver obi. She slide it on tying it before leaving her room to find Rin. Rin showed her around the palace and introduced her to people. Each servant bowed to her which she didn't understand. She would tell them not to. Rin just laughed and said they did it to her too even though she was no better then them.
Rin and Kiyota spent a good majority of their afternoon and evening in the gardens exploring their beauty. Sesshoumaru came to find Rin running around one garden while Kiyota sat on a small bench beside one of the many Koi ponds in the gardens. She seemed lost in thought when he approached. He carefully plucked a deep red rose from a nearby bush on a whim. He held it out to her startling her a little bit.
"Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama." She said taking the flower from him. He sat beside her on the bench watching Rin chase butterflies.
"How do you like the gardens?" He asked.
"They are very beautiful and relaxing." She said.
"Indeed they are. Do the kimonos fit?" He asked. She nodded running her free hand down the silk material.
The evening meal came and went. Rin was put to bed by both Kiyota and Sesshoumaru. Kiyota herself retired to her bedroom. Sesshoumaru retreated to his. Rin made sure both adults slept before she cried out pretending to have a nightmare again. That continued for almost two weeks before Sesshoumaru caught on to Rin's game.
Kiyota was preparing for bed when Sesshoumaru stopped her through the open door to his bedroom.
"You may as well come to sleep with me. Rin will cry again tonight." Sesshoumaru said.
"How do you know?" She asked.
"Because she had been faking these nightmares to get us in the same bed." Sesshoumaru said.
"I see. Playing match maker is she?" Kiyota asked removing the kimono folding it onto the bed. She still wore the tank top and boy shorts to sleep. She washed them every other day. Sesshoumaru groaned aloud seeing these garments.
"Must you wear those?" He asked.
"Must you sleep bear chested?" She asked looking back at him.
"Yes." He answered.
"Then I must wear this." She said. Sesshoumaru groaned and waited with Kiyota for Rin to enter the bedchamber. She never came. Kiyota slide into the bed while Sesshoumaru checked on Rin. Rin was already sleeping soundly.
"Little imp." He said covering her with a blanket before returning to his bedroom. He was about to tell Kiyota they had been outsmarted by the child again when he realized she was sleeping as well. He got into bed beside her. She was laying on her back her hair pulled around her shoulder in a loose braid she'd done herself. It was the first night he hadn't done it.
Sesshoumaru leaned over her looking down at her body. She hadn't covered herself with the blanket, apparently waiting for his and Rin's return. He ran one clawed hand down her side brushing her breast. He wanted her. He gritted his teeth. He really wanted her. His body had once again hardened. This had happened a lot in the past two weeks. He felt like he'd lost all control of his lower anatomy. He'd always had great self control but it had gone out the window since this woman came into his bed.
Maybe if he had her the once it would be enough and he could continue normally. It seemed like a good idea to him. He pushed her knees apart kneeling between them. He put his hands on either side of her chest.
"Kiyota." He said her name.
"Mmm?" She asked sleepily.
"Wake." He said pushing his weight into his hands, making the mattress dip. Her eyes opened and she looked at him above her.
"Sesshoumaru-sama? Where's Rin?" She asked sitting up a little bit then realized how they were. She looked at him questioning him with her eyes.
"I want to test something." He said huskily.
"What do you want to test?" She asked her voice already lusting over.
"Have you ever been with a man?" He asked letting one of his hands move from its place to her chest trailing his nail over the swell of her breast.
"Once." She said with her eyes closed. "Are you implying you want to be the second?" She asked.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru said letting his lips fall to hers and his hardened body press into hers.
