R&R

The eyes belonging to the boy were sickening to Sesshoumaru. Acid began to climb through the knots that his stomach had created in only matter of seconds. The room was spinning and he could feel his body trembling. Those eyes were unequivocal. The sentiment spilling throughout his body was undiluted infernal disgust. Those electric eyes were staring into his, wide, seemingly innocent, and maybe even nervous. Sesshoumaru forced himself to calm down by taking long deep breathes. Steady breathing seemed to be working although the ordeal seemed to take an eternity. With a quick turn of his face he lowered his gaze unable to take the festering anger burning within him. Lowering his gaze only seemed to make things worse. For now he could see that Rin's grip seemed to be intent on keeping their palms in a tight kiss.

"Mom, this is Kouga." the young beauty said with a truly happy smile. It appeared in fact that she was unable to control the smile from baring her teeth. Riko looked up at her daughter with a bamboozled gaze. A gaze which lingered on neither Rin or Kouga for too long. The older woman's hands came up to her face as she tried to hide her shock. This in turn caused the boy to laugh and stretch out his free hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Shikon." Kouga chuckled lightly after realizing his first laugh may have been a little disrespectful. Sesshoumaru watched as the scene unfolded before him. It was agonizing, he could almost feel himself reliving that night.

The floor had been cold in the castle and although Sesshoumaru did not mind he noticed it all the more this night. He felt as though he had never run this fast in his life. There was a dread in the center of his rib cage it was a building heat that made him run faster. The small of his back seemed to arch in discomfort as he swung the door to her room open. Resting his hand on the doorway he took a breath of relief. The moonlight slivered across her dainty features smoothly while she slept. It was fine. She was alright there was no harm falling upon her.

"Forgive me for interrupting, but you seem to sound relieved." the coarse voice was doing nothing to hide the amused tone. Just the sound of this voice shot Sesshoumaru back to the feeling of dread, it was absolute fear. Something that the western lord had never been customer to. It was usually opposite he was the cause of fear in many cases.

"Why are you here, Kouga?" he snarled moving forward. This was a dangerous position for the other man whom finally stepped into the light, those electric eyes were amused just as much so as the voice.

"I do not plan to let you play with what belongs to me. I would never share such a beautiful toy." Kouga smirked at him sitting next to the slumbering Princess. It was the last act of disrespect that he could handle. Sesshoumaru propelled himself towards the wolf demon.

"I'll rip your throat if you touch her." Sesshoumaru spat violently. It was then he could feel an excruciating burning around his ankles and wrists pulling him away from the Eastern Prince. Kouga smiled at Sesshoumaru running his hands over Rin's slumbering body.

"Leave her be. I love her. I will give you my lands and title just leave her be." Sesshoumaru hung his head as he begged something that he had never done in his life. This was the first time he'd humbled his pride to anyone. Rin made small noises in reaction to be touched.

"You've been stealing kisses that belong to me. Now you shall pay the price." Kouga said vengefully. It was then that Rin woke up and recoiled to the furthest corner of her bed and it was then that Sesshoumaru had to watch the Eastern Prince forcefully mount the woman he loved, that he had to hear her body react to him while her lips begged no and tears fell from her eyes.

Yet it was here that she held tightly onto his hand with their fingers intertwined. Sesshoumaru's eyes were beginning to swell with tears. It had been centuries and still it was as fresh in his mind as it had always been. Rin looked at Sesshoumaru while her mother began to initiate the parental speech of protection. She let go of Kouga's hand and turned her attention to Sesshoumaru who sat alone in conversation.

"Hey, this must be awkward for you." she touched his shoulder.

"You have no idea." he not looking at her.

"Wanna escape this place?" she smiled at him.

"Can we escape this place?" she asked him with a smile on her lips.

"There's a field out of town, no one but me ever goes there." he told her.

"Really? Take me?" she asked like a child with happiness.

"Where would you take me?" he asked her waiting for an answer. Could it be that he had just stumbled upon her? When he had just been giving up on finding her had he found his love? Could it have taken centuries for her to reincarnate to end up this way? Fate was too cruel to him. He almost laughed out loud at the strings that tangled his life.

"Well, there is this field I go to and I feel a little bit bad for slamming the door in your face." she smiled again. He wanted her to stop smiling at him. It was driving him crazy. He wanted to pull her into his chest and breathe in the scent of her hair. He wanted to feel her heart beat against his chest. Yet, he was well aware that it was impossible at this time.

"Well, I suppose I could drive if you give me directions." if he was right than he knew he would not need them. This would tell him everything that he needed to confirm that this was his Rin.

"That could surely be arranged. I'm sure that you'll be smart enough to know that if you abduct me my mother knows who you are and if you try anything else my boyfriend will kill you." she smiled. Sesshoumaru laughed bitterly and shook his head.

"I wouldn't do anything with you. You're just a kid." he stood up and Rin realized that he towered over her exponentially.

"You're parent's must have really fed you the growth hormones." she tried to lighten the mood.

"I'm just tall." he used the words plainly. Rin led him outside to the driveway. Outside the house was a parked luxury sedan.

"Mommy and Daddy must have a lot of money." she said.

"They did, but now I do. They are dead." he said it so calmly now. After all his parent's had died long ago. Sesshoumaru knew that this is something his Rin would have known. Such a comment would never had left her lips. He looked at the Rin who now sat on the leather seats of his car. She had been silent for a while now. He was driving without her direction because it was a place that neither would ever forget. Again his gaze was wavering between her and the road. She was so beautiful and yet so different. The Rin that he'd loved had hair of the darkest ink that cascaded down her back with a sweet innocence in her eyes. However, this Rin, she was different. Her hair was brown and her eyes were mischievous and she seemed to always be in a playful mood. Yet, he almost feared her. Perhaps it was that she wouldn't love him or that he had not truly found his Rin but a fragment of her soul. If it was the latter he would have to wait for this one to grow old and release her soul to be reunited with it's other shards.

"I'm sorry I said that." Rin apologized with her eyes to the ground.

"It's alright." he was nonchalant.

"It's just that sometimes these comments come out as I think them." She looked up and began to play with the end of her shirt.

"You are still just a kid, you'll learn while you age." he was trying to figure her out. He knew that he had to stop comparing her to the Rin he had known. From the beginning he had known she would be different. The past life always influenced the way a soul would recreate itself. So that it could protect itself from the past. She had told him and he had accepted the price.

The sun was warm on his face as he held her body. It was nothing but a shell now. This small body had carried a prince and birthed him not but four months ago. Yet here she laid in his arms lifeless. It was unfair, her entire life had been unfair. The bastard daughter of a Lord and a holy woman. The child of a noble and a legend. It could have been that she was destined for this fate because of her parent's choices. Her father could have said no. He could have left his title and ran with the woman he loved but instead he made a mockery of her modesty. It did not matter that he had always loved her, or that he had never loved his wife. Midoriko had been a mistress and the cause of another woman's strife.

"Rin, can I escape with you?" he wondered aloud.

"You can find me." he could have sworn he saw her lips move, but they were dry now. The were pale and chapped by death. A death that had taken her from him. A death that had taken her along with their child.

"I'll find you. No matter how long it takes I'll find you." he whispered to her pulling her into his chest. He knew that he should start her grave, but he couldn't. He did not want to dig her grave. Suddenly a thought forced it's way in his mind. He could make sure she would reincarnate. With his immortality there would be no difficulty in sparing time to search for the one who would become the shell for his love. Sesshoumaru would go to a priestess who could help him understand the process and luckily there was one who could be found here. There was a woman who trained the miko of this land and Sesshoumaru knew she could help him. After a short journey when she spoke to him it was cold and calm.

"So this is the girl?" the young woman asked.

"This is Rin." he said, laying the body down on a table.

"If you force her reincarnation, it will go through many a life of suffering before becoming her. There will be a price." the young woman's voice was nervous.

"I just want to make sure she can reincarnate." the priestess touched Rin's body.

"Her life was a tragedy. The soul is deeply fragmented. It will take many years to repair."

"How long?"

"I can't say for sure ten human lifetimes, maybe."

"I will wait."

"You must set her body to rest, soon."

"I shall."

"A warning, because her soul is so fragmented even when fully repaired she may not be the Rin that you loved. Once a soul has lived such a life. It shapes to protect it's own well being. As I understand, she was a gentle woman with a kind heart. That may not be true for the future of her reincarnation. She may be unconsciously defending herself from whatever could cause a relapse of the past." the priestess had grabbed onto Sesshoumaru.

"I promised her."

Sesshoumaru stopped the car and looked out the window. He took a deep shuddering breath and she led him very unknowingly to the very spot she had died almost eight hundred years ago. The field felt like time had no effects from time. It was exactly the same with her by his side. Just in the distance was an ancient willow tree. Rin had run to it and rested her back against it's base. Sesshoumaru followed at a slower pace.

"This place always calms me down. No matter what I'm thinking about." Sesshoumaru looked at her underneath the willow tree. The sun was beginning to set. Her mother was probably wondering where they were. It seemed though that she was completely aware of Rin's wandering when things got awkward.

"It is a peaceful place is it not?" he almost asked himself.

"It really is, but we can't be here too long." she whispered.

"Why not?" he turned his face to her.

"We're trespassing." she giggled.

"We aren't. This is my land." he couldn't help but to study her as he said this. Rin turned her head away under his observation. Rin stood up but immediately felt a quick sharp pain in the palm of her hand. It was then Sesshoumaru smelled the copper of her blood. He stood up to assess the damage and saw that ground has soaked in the blood that had fallen. Rin forced a smile and turned around.

"It's nothing, maybe we should just head back." she suggested with a small sigh.

"My place isn't too far from here." he began.

"I want to go home." she was stern.

"Don't bleed on my seats." he warned coldly as he walked to his car. This girl could not be his Rin. She could not be the carrier of her soul. She was rude and stubborn. She did not trust him, she did not feel their past bond, and she was ostensibly in love with that wolf. Sesshoumaru looked at her she had recoiled from him. Perhaps he was the one who had come in too strong. Yes, he had wanted her to remember everything. He wanted it now. It had been a little over eight hundred years could it not be understood that his patience was wearing thin. Especially when he was so close to her now. He gave her a once over and sighed looking back to the road.

"I'm sorry if I offended you." he said calmly.

"It's fine. I just met you, I don't want to go to your place. I have a boyfriend and you're not exactly my age." she said.

"I was going to have a maid take care of your cut and take you home nothing more. I have no interest in young girls with no bodies. I want a woman with an intelligent mind." he was lying. He wanted whatever pieces of Rin he could grab. Rin glared at him, and he smirked a little at her.

"Just because I wasn't interested doesn't mean you have to throw a fit." she spat slamming the door to his car.

"I have not thrown a fit I merely explained to you what I do and don't like." he was curt as he walked back into the house. Kouga walked out with a smile when he saw Rin. She quickly threw herself into his chest and breathed in his scent. His arms wrapped around her with warmth and he rested his chin on her head gently. Rin tightened her grip on him and kept breathing him in.

"You always feel like home to me." she tiptoed to take his lips, but it was him who closed the gap. He arms supporting the small of her back. Sesshoumaru watched them from the window. Rin seemed so comfortable with that wolf. Sesshoumaru could feel his blood boiling beneath his skin. It upset him so much and yet he knew that there was nothing to be done about it. Next he saw Rin laughing and Kouga throwing her over his shoulder. She looked up and saw him in the window staring and her smile faded. So he turned his head back to Riko. She had been talking about the progress of he novel.

"So, how old is your daughter?" he asked her.

"She's just turned eighteen and she just graduated as valedictorian." Riko smiled proudly.

"Where is her father?" he asked, Riko's attitude when mentioning him.

"He is married to a woman in the city." she said quickly.

"So, when did her and that boy meet?" Sesshoumaru was curious.

"Well according to him, they've been play ground friends since they were in first grade." Riko laughed.

"Interesting." Sesshoumaru smiled bitterly his eyes trailing to when he had met his Rin. They had been childhood friends as well. He looked out the window one more time and he saw the two locked in a sweltering kiss. Her hands held onto his neck tight with her fingertips trailing in his hair. One of his hands pressed her to him and the other could not be seen.

"Do you trust him?" he asked

"I trust her. I've raised her the right way." she laughed.

"I wouldn't trust him." Sesshoumaru was cold.
