Chapter Seven: Kiss of Lust
It was morning. The sky was limitless blue and everything was normal, well at least for the moment. Rin comes out of her room quietly. She walks down the wooden stairs wondering if Taguro was okay. She found some of the court ladies who had took cared of his wounds. "May I see Lord Taguro please?" The court ladies nod, "Of course you can Lady Rin." Rin bows down, showing at least respect for what had happen to him.
Rin enters the room. She saw Taguro laying on the soft futon that had been made for him. Taguro sat up, looking away. Rin knew that he didn't want to see her. Rin cries silently. "Lord Taguro, I'm sorry for causing you such misfortune these past few days. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again. "Please leave Rin. Looking at you reminds me of that demon."
Suddenly, the shoji slid open. Lord Hodaime and Princess Aya enter the room. "Taguro, I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything- I'm so-," sob Princess Aya, shoving Rin aside from Taguro. Lord Hodaime glares at Rin. The room grew silent. "Leave you lowly servant," exclaimed Aya. "I don't have to. I promised Taguro that this will never happen. Taguro I promised that I will-," "Leave Rin. You're displeasing me," demanded Taguro.
"Taguro, you don't mean that," said Rin, forcing a smile. Then Aya's friends came in laughing with glee and flattering fans. "Leave you-," Aya was then interrupted by her friends. "Is that her? She's so-so dirty. Look at her torn clothing," the young woman whispers into Aya's ears. They both laugh with glee. Taguro sat there in silence, not caring to listen. Leave Rin. We are having a meeting session later and it's not concerning you so leave," demanded Taguro. The Royalties stares at her as if she was like a stray dog wanting to find some acknowledgement from people.
Rin started to cry silently inside. She didn't dare to let them see her tears. "Of course I can leave," said Rin smiling. She left the room. "Sesshomaru, I don't want to stay here any longer," she thought to herself. She stops feeling hopeless so, she went to grab some medicine herbs for Taguro.
Meanwhile
Lord Sesshomaru why did you leave Rin for, you were the one who wanted to so badly-,' Jakken once again, felt the beating of his lord. Sesshomaru glares at Jakken. "I had to. She belongs with her own kind. Following a demon like me will cause many gossips around idiotic villages." Jakken eyes saddened. "I know but her face, looking at her, she was crying. I can tell by her face. Even if I don't like her as much as you do, well I don't like her, period-," Jakken again, felt the wrath of his Lord's fist in his face.
"Rin, I'm sorry," Sesshomaru thought to himself. He never wanted to leave her. It just that he thought Rin had already loved someone else. And that someone was Taguro. "We won't be leaving soon. I have something to do that is left unfinished.
Jakken looks at him awkwardly. "Don't tell me were staying here installing, whether you are going to take Rin or leave her here," Jakken whispers consciously to himself. Ah-Un yawns, wanting their lord to go back and get Rin. The wind was calm but there would be a storm coming in soon.
Aya enters the room. "It will be raining soon. You must have these warm blankets. It will be cold." She handed the blankets to Taguro. "Thank you Princess Aya. Where is Rin? I haven't seen her since this morning. It's already dawn." Aya laughs, "You think I know where she is?" Aya left the room later on. Aya walks down the stairs then spotted Rin. "Where do you think your going?" Rin didn't pay any attention to her, but reply, "I'm going to give these herbs to Lord Taguro." Aya stares at her then walks away.
Rin enters Taguro's room. "What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in your-," he was interrupted by Rin, handing him the medicine she had picked up from the mountains. "I told you that the incident that occurred yesterday will never happen again. Taguro stares down at her hands. It was all dirty and had scratches all over it. Taguro grabs her wrist and exclaim, "Why Rin, please stop doing such nice things for me. It'll only keep me falling in love with you." Without any hesitation, he held her entirely.
"Taguro, please don't do this." Taguro held her tightly. "Why must you love a despicable demon like him? Tell me Rin." Rin could feel the heat and heaviness of his body. "Rin, I'm in love with you so much." Rin wasn't surprise. 'No, you can't love me." Rin shoves Taguro away from her. "Please stop it! I can't stand you saying those words to me. You don't love me, you just want me-" Suddenly, Taguro grabs her from the shoulders, kissing her on her lips filled with lust.
The heaviness of his body buried Rin onto the ground. Rin felt suffocated by his kiss. Taguro eyes saddened, "NO that isn't true. I'm in love with you and that is all that matters to me. Please Rin." Taguro slid his hand under her back, unties her sash. "Taguro stop, let go of me!" Taguro kisses her lips recklessly, as his hand brushes her neck. Rin tries to stop him from letting his probing tongue from entering her mouth. "Lord Sesshomaru, help me."
Sesshomaru immediately sense something was wrong. "What is it my lord?" Jakken asks, "Not again." "I feel something. I don't know what it is but it's irritating."
"Let go of me, Lord Taguro." Taguro took off her top robe. Luckily she had another thin layer on. "I'm not letting you go." Rin started to sob. "NO, LET GO OF ME! SESSHOMARU, HELP ME!" Taguro angrily grips onto her harder. "Give it a rest! He's not coming back for you!"
Jakken turns back. "Lord Sesshomaru, where are you going?" Sesshomaru took off. "Stay here!" Sesshomaru leaps onto tree to tree. "Something is definitely wrong. I can sense it."
"SESSHOMARU, HELP ME!" cried Rin, feeling helplessly, as if it were a bad dream.
