I'm sorry about the slow-going, but life and life and... life...

Enjoy!

The morning sun was bright and radiating, streaming through the sheer curtains and over the two bodies lying in bed, the silver hair looking gold in the light and the black highlighted in it. Usually, the demon was awake early, readying for work and avoiding temptation by the young woman lounging in his bed.

Now, having taken the weekend off, he was free to sleep later than normal, something he found he was rather enjoying. Though, it may have had more to do with the actions the two engaged in in both the morning and night.

His strong body rolled closer to the second source of warmth in his large bed, his arm wrapping around the slim waist and pulled her tight to his chest. Rin shuffled at the contact, her body still sleep-filled and groggy as her feet rubbed against the arch of his foot, a small smile on her lips as she heard him inhale deeply.

"Good morning," Rin mumbled quietly, her fingers reaching to cover his, her thumb brushing over the back of his hand.

"And good morning to you," Sesshomaru responded quietly, his lips skimming over her throat, "did you sleep well?"

"Mm… not done yet," she gently elbowed him, "lemme finish…"

"Not today," he teased sensually in her ear, his lips kissing and sucking at her lobe, the shoulders raising as she squealed and kicked.

The slim form giggled as she rolled under the silk bed sheets, her feet kicking and rubbing against the arch of the larger foot, the demon above her nuzzling the crook of her neck.

"Se-Sesshomaru!" Rin squealed as her body unconsciously curled as a reflex from the lips, "st-stop!"

"I have no intention too," the demon grinned, his lips kissing the crook of her neck and throat.

"Please?" the young woman giggled, "pretty please?"

His lips pulled back, her lower lip held between her teeth while he searched her dark eyes.

"No."

"I said please!" she protested, her feet kicking as he tickled her, "Sesshomaru! You're cruel!"

"And yet you laugh," he smiled, his lips kissing and sucking at her heated flesh, finding the dark hickeys he had left from the night before, his fingers pushing up her nightgown.

"Se-Sesshomaru," Rin hummed out, her body relaxing slightly at his touch, "no fair…"

"What isn't?" the demon smirked.

"I can't think right wh-when you do this…" she moaned, her body twitching underneath his.

"No?" Sesshomaru whispered quietly, "such a shame then…" his fingers trailed down her slim sides and hooking to her lace panties.

"Sesshomaruuu!"

A deep chuckle rumbled from his chest, his eyes lifting up to the young woman who pouted in defiance.

"It's not funny," she mumbled, flushing as he kissed her.

"It is," his nose ran over her collarbone, her fingers reaching to slide up his muscled arms while her leg bent, a small laugh escaping her lips.

"Really?" Rin asked, "you've only been awake for ten minutes at most!"

"Ten minutes with you," he pointed out, his teeth nibbling harmlessly at the flesh of her breast.

"Hmm… HAH!"

Her body jolted in surprise as his fingers trailed lower down her body, his fingertips teasing her sex while his lips teased hers.

Delicate fingers stroked the markings on his cheeks, her tips trailing down the stripes before weaving into his silken locks, her nails gripping his scalp.

"Rin-"

"It's okay," she whispered against his lips, her leg curling around him, "really…"

"And I'm the eager one?" Sesshomaru teased quietly, watching her face as he eased into her body.

Sex was more pleasure than pain for her, Rin no longer nervous or embarrassed by their antics. A strangled gasp slipped from the demon's lips at her tightness and heat, her fingers reaching to skim over his shoulders and back, a trail leading down his spine as she pressed her body to his.

Her hips rolled slightly, making an even more animalistic sound escape his lips.

"Rin-"

"Don't tempt what I can't control?" she teased, her finger touching his nose.

"I was going to say be cautious," Sesshomaru murmured, knowing full well she had him wrapped around her little finger, his lips lowered to her ear once more, "I don't want to hurt you."

"One year," Rin whispered, "one year you've been with me and in all that time, you've never once hurt me," she kissed him deeply, "you've never even thought about it."

"Hm," the demon hummed, his lips pressing back while his fingers curved to grip her alabaster thighs.

"Uhn!"

Rin shuddered as he thrust forward, her nails unconsciously gripping into his flesh.

"Sesshomaru," she breathed in contentment, her head thrown back, allowing him to attack her throat with another round of unceasing kisses.

Soft and breathy moans escaped her as she felt him set a steady pace between the two of them, his long nails running tenderly over her flesh, doing his best not to break it.

"Ah… hah… ha…"

Long black hair remained spilt over the pillow as he head twitched in the midst of the pleasure she was feeling, his tongue moving with her as he was gentle with her delicate body.

"Sesshomaru…"

Fingers wound with the others as the demon nipped at the crook of her neck, hoping to her his name escape her lips once more in her erotic tone.

"Rin," he found himself whispering, "my beautiful Rin."

She bleated out a quiet laugh, her eyes a mixture of love and lust before they were hidden behind dark lashes once more, her mouth opening as she moaned deliciously. Her body arched into his as she gripped him harder, kissing his lips and throat, mimicking him as she found the crook of his neck, her hand on the other side of it, pressing their flesh closer together.

Her other arm wrapped around his torso, nails returning to dig at his skin in her lust.

"Sesshomaru…" Rin breathed, her body rocking against his, the pleasure building and the fire igniting under her flesh, "cl-close…"

"With me then," his lips ruffling the hair by her cheek, "with me…"

His whisperings were answered as she arched to his chest, her head thrown back in a passionate moan, his name the only coherent thing he heard.

"Rin," he groaned, his body shuddering as he released inside her, his arms adjusting to keep above her, his chest heaving as he looked towards the young woman he loved so dearly.

In all his time, the demon had never had someone that could exhaust him like her. His other sexual partners would collapse well before he would but with Rin, he was spent when she was. Warm breath passed over the alabaster flesh, his nose inhaling the scent of fresh sex on he, her own lungs expanding deeply as she caught her breath from their swift romp.

"That was fast," she teased, her finger touching her nose, the demon feeling the muscle under his eye twitch slightly.

"I do not believe you have anything to compare that too," he murmured, the young woman giggling at his words.

"I didn't mean that," Rin emphasized, her body adjusting as he pulled out of her slowly, his own form lying beside hers, his arm pulling the young woman to his chest, "I mean… it didn't take long for us to start."

"No , I suppose not," Sesshomaru murmured as he kissed her tenderly, his fingers gently running through her hair, "but you are too irresistible."

Enjoying her laugh, the demon settled in for what promised a lazy Sunday, a groan rumbling in his chest as he heard his phone buzz.

"Might want to get that," the young woman whispered while he sighed deeply.

"I'm inclined to agree with you," he conceded, his fingers reaching to grab his phone.

"So much for your day off," Rin mumbled under her breath.

"Sesshomaru Takahashi speaking," Sesshomaru unconsciously chuckled softly as he answered the phone, white sheets adjusting as hands lightly touched his back, silken black locks spilling over the young woman's shoulder and she planted light kisses on his throat and jaw.

It wasn't until his hand reached to stop her did Rin notice the smile slipping from his lips as the voice spoke, his eyes widening slightly as worry entered her own heart.

"Sesshomaru," Rin asked nervously, her hand reaching to touch his arm, "wh… what is it, what's wrong?"

"I-It's my mother," the demon explained as he hung up, his amber eyes meeting the concerned chocolate orbs, "she… she's had a stroke."

The young woman gasped as her hands covered her mouth, her lover slowly taking deep steadying breaths.

"I-Is sh-she-"

"Sesshomaru!" Rin protested quietly as he slipped from their bed.

"She's at the hospital right now," the demon explained while he reached for his clothes, his legs covered in pants swiftly, "the doctor said she's fine but-"

"Sesshomaru-" the young woman tried once more, her arms pulled through her nightgown.

"I'm sorry Rin," he brushed her off, "I-I need to go-"

"Sesshomaru-"

"Wh-Where are my-"

Arms snaked around his waist as a head of dark hair rested on his back, the young woman pressing her bare chest to his back.

"It's going to be okay," Rin whispered soothingly, "the doctor told you she's okay, but don't forget to breathe."

"Rin-"

"Book a ticket," she told him, his body turning to look at her in the eye, "I'll pack your overnight bag for you."

Her deep brown eyes, while worried, were calm, her fingers gently brushing over his cheeks as she hoped to calm him.

"I'm here when you need me," the young woman murmured, "I always will be."

"Thank you," he whispered after a moment, his arms snaking around to hug her tightly.

Grateful that the young woman had a clear head on her shoulders, the demon managed to catch the next flight to Milan while she slipped a few pants, shirts, and underwear into his overnight bag. Saying nothing and feeling the most nervous he had since his childhood, Sesshomaru finished dressing quickly, his fingers tightening his tie with swiftness.

"Here."

He turned to look at the young woman who had moved to stand beside him, her hands pulling his luggage towards him.

"Will you be alright?" Rin whispered quietly, her face deeply concerned for him. The demon understood, him usually impassive, refusing to wear his emotions like she did.

"I think so," the demon murmured, "I just… I need to see my mother, make sure she's alright."

"If she's anything like you, she will be," the young woman tried to assure him, her hand touching his wrist.

Walking it him to the front hall, Rin, now donning her silken white robe, remained by his side, hoping that, though it defied most logic, she could comfort him in his time of worry.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone," Sesshomaru told her softly as he slipped his bag in the trunk of his car.

"It's alright," Rin told him, "just… relax and breathe, okay? I'll be here for you when you get back, I promise."

Nodding, she stole a peck from his lips before he slipped into his car, the engine gunned as he willed himself to do as she asked. It was unlike him to feel fear or worry, the notion gnawing at him. He hated the feeling of helplessness, that there was a situation beyond his control and that he was all but forced to sit by pathetically and watched.

Miraculously, his drive was safe and smooth, the twelve hour plane ride promising to be made longer with the addition of his worry for his mother. He had boarded quickly, the flight attendants bringing him a water and paper before scuttling away to the other first class passengers.

His fingers glanced to his phone as he slipped it to airplane mode, his thumb running over a picture of the candid shot he had taken of Rin, her face that of peace and her fingers trailing over the flowers she was caring for. The demon sighed; not one hour ago he had been lying in bed with the young woman, waiting to waste the day with her, the two probably relaxing in the home before heading out to dinner. Now, with the news of his mother's accident, he was set to spend the rest of the day on a plane before confronting what was probably a very bitter and angered demon.

While he might hate receiving help, his mother was worse than he, demanding to do everything on her own, insisting that it was the only way to have the job done correctly. Even when he was a child, he was viciously chastised for never getting a perfect grade or acting proper in the presence of others. Every music piece he played, every test he wrote, party he attended with her; if he wasn't to her standard, she would punish him, not that he had many freedoms to take away in the first place.

His eyes looked back to the picture of his beloved. The worst trait he inherited from her was her hatred of humans, something he managed to overcome, but she…

Sesshomaru felt his lips curl downwards as he felt another worry overcome him. Undoubtedly, she would need care after her incident, and, hating taking help from other, he and Rin would need to take her, meaning she would undoubtedly discover her son's love was a human she had taught him to hate.

"Rin," the demon whispered quietly, "things are never easy for us, are they?"
