Ch.10

Opposites Attract

A low groan escaped his mouth, his head falling back to the softness of his chair. Cracking an eye open, he watched as the red headed demoness bobbed her head up and down, using both of her small hands to stroke what she couldn't fit in her cavern. Somewhere in his mind he pictured not the demoness before him giving him pleasure, but a certain. . .human. It was only an hour ago that he and Inuyasha had finished their meeting with the council, regarding the 'prisoner' and her purpose for being kept hostage. Though Sesshomaru had first intended on telling them, he decided otherwise. They were nothing but an ally, so it was not their place to know of his plans. All he informed them on was that she was a great asset to Ryukotsusei who would stop at nothing to get her back, Which was true more than anything else. But going back to her and facing her once more, he was not ready for.

So here he was now, in the bed chambers of one of his concubines, siting in the chair he would normally sit in, with her head between his legs. A memory popped in the back of his head with the last whore to do this, not a very fond memory at that. But it wasn't that which was bothering him from enjoying himself, it was Rin. He could not stop thinking of her no matter how hard he tried. It was starting to become rather irksome. She was haunting him everywhere he went, whether she was with him or not. Her smile, the way her eyes shine, that feisty attitude and vulgar mouth of hers, is what he would find himself missing the most. And she was only a floor up from his reach.

With a frustrated sigh he looked down at the demoness one last time before shoving her from his being. Inwardly he was smiling to finally be going back to Rin, his Rin. . . .Sesshomaru's eyes widened for a brief moment before returning to normal size. He had just referred to Rin as his. His ownership, his possession, his property. The thought of her being his made his male pride sky rocket, but he knew she was anything from that. No, she deserved to be more than a thing of ownership. She was a person not an object, and so she would be treated as such. The demoness on the floor let out a growl which sounded more of a whine, and stood up. Sesshomaru's face was bored and nonchalant as he stared and waited for her to speak.

"May I ask what is wrong Sesshomaru-sama?"She hissed and crossed her arms over her chest. Sesshomaru couldn't help but smirk as she took on what he thought would be a rejected stance.

Women. . . . .

He continued to stare, before narrowing his eyes when she did not stop growling at him."No, you may not." And with that he walked towards the door, ignoring her as she continued to 'growl'."You will seize that petty excuse of a growl this instant, Keyokei. Do not forget who it is you are adverting too." He glanced back at her with a piercing gaze, making her mouth shut at once. Satisfied, he opened the door and slammed it behind him and made his way to his own bed chambers.

As he made his way to his quarters he couldn't help but feel this strange feeling he has never felt before. It was almost as if he were anxious? Sesshomaru scoffed and continued his way. What the hell would he be anxious about? Was it the fact that Rin was still in his chambers, possibly waiting for him as well? Ah, there it is again. The mentioning of Rin. The moment he met her, he wondered what it was that was so special about her. Sure she had her moments where she was fearless and courageous, but from what he can see she was still a frightened little girl, who didn't know when to shut her trap. Maybe it was her resistance to being ordered around that had her on edge all the time. Being manhandled and treated as if she were below others is what caused her to defy the laws and regulation. Of course being brought into his life style at a young age, he could understand why. Sesshomaru felt his lips tug into a grin and smirked. He didn't care how she acted at this point, he was curious about her and wouldn't change the way she acted any time soon. He stopped in front of his door and listened to hear if she was still awake.

Inuyasha had said Kagome walked her back to the room after giving her a pair of clothes to wear. He mentally scolded himself for not taking it upon his responsibility on lending her decent pair of clothing, even though he didn't object to the nightgown she was wearing earlier. He was positive bringing her to Inuyasha's mate would relax her enough to gain his trust, not that he was using her, which he technically was so to speak, but he couldn't have her going insane or killing herself thinking she had nothing left to live for. A sudden tug pulled at his heart at the thought of her taking her life, but pushed it aside. What mattered now was the she was here and alive, though if she continued to break his father's possessions, he wasn't sure for how long. Taking a hold of the doorknob, he twist it open and was immediately greeted with a vase hitting the wall beside his face. So, she was awake and apparently still upset. Sesshomaru looked down at the now shattered vase, then back to Rin who was holding a wire hanger and narrowed his eyes.

"Rin, I can see you are still upset," He stated coolly. This seemed to anger Rin because she picked up another vase with her free hand and threw it at him, which resulted with him catching it with ease."But that does not give you a reason to destroy my property."

"To HELL with you're damn property!" She yelled and threw the hanger at him. Sesshomaru decided to humor her, so he let the offending object him him in the chest."So, where's the whore at hmm?"

Sesshomaru watched her for a few moments, studying her actions. He let her words sink in for a few moments and grinned. He had a feeling the damn hanyou would tell her sooner or later about his 'visits'. He just couldn't understand why she was upset about it. . .well, he could but being the egotistical demon as she put it, he wanted to hear her say it. She wouldn't though and that was what annoyed him. She had just about as much pride as he did, which was why they were so much alike. He on the other hand, had an advantage over her. He knew what to say the would ruffle and provoke women. They were easy to anger as they were to manipulate. It was a vulnerability that each female sustain, and Rin was no different. He set the vase down and smirked. He could practically feel the anger radiating from her. He wanted to see how far he could tease her before she owned up on what she felt for him.

"Rin are you. . . jealous?" He chuckled when her mouth fell open and closed, obviously trying to deny the truth."You have no reason to be. She was just a fuck to pass time."

At that last statement Rin had shut her mouth. Oh, she was beyond pissed. Actually that was an understatement. She had been fuming in Sesshomaru's room for the last hour and a half. When Inuyasha came back to escort her to his chamber's, she asked where he was and Inuyasha had the balls to say he was getting laid. There were no words to describe how hurt and angered she was. Rin tried reasoning with herself she had no reason to be so mad, but couldn't come up with anything. I mean, it's not like we're together or anything. So why am I mad that he was sleeping with someone else? Rin growled and picked up a shoe and tossed it once again towards Sesshomaru, aiming for his big head. Of course with his demon reflexes, moved away before it could make impact. And now he had the audacity to insinuate she was jealous. If Rin was anything right now, it was not jealous. She scoffed and crossed her arms while leaning her weight on her leg. She was on defensive mode at the moment and would stay that way until he owned up that he was thinking of her the whole time.

"Pssh, jealous of what exactly? I don't care if you sleep with all of japan!" She glared and threw her hands up. Sesshomaru face was nonchalant as always, but he was secretly enjoying the fact she was indeed jealous."I just don't appreciate the fact you left me just to get your needs fulfilled." She huffed.

Get your needs fulfilled?. . . . Sesshomaru had to give it to her, that was a good analogy. He also had to admit she was quite skilled at dodging the questions he asks, that one in particular. How hard was it to say you're jealous? It was already established between the two of them that they both had unwanted yet desired feelings for each other, but seeing as they're both the same, the stubbornness in them both would be hard to ignore. Sesshomaru stared at Rin with his grin still intact, more likely spreading into a bigger one. He was far from getting under her skin, she wasn't at the limit he wanted her to be at.

"Does that bother you Rin?" He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. Rin raised a brow not quite understanding what he meant. The grin spread at her perturbation state."The fact I sleep with other women and not you?" He challenged. Rin gawked and clenched her fist and bit the inside of her cheek. That was the last straw that broke the camels back. If he wanted to play this game with her, then she'd play right back.

"Oh, believe me asshole I don't want you touching me in the lease. Like I said I could give a fuck who you decide to screw, it wouldn't make a difference. We're not together and you don't mean anything to me. Hell, I can screw whoever I want!" Rin scoffed and put her hands on her hips. He pushed her buttons too far and she finally snapped."As a matter of fact, I'm going to go fuck one of your buddies right now. . ." She trailed off and watched what his reaction would be.

A low deep warning growl escaped Sesshomaru before he could stop it. The mention of her and someone from his gang was enough to set him off. Without another word Sesshomaru grabbed Rin before she could blink and shoved her against the wall behind her. A small whimper was all he heard as he put more pressure on her neck. She belonged to him and only him whether she liked it or not. This pull between them was growing stronger as well as his feelings for her. He knew if they didn't do something about it, all the time they would argue and fight, would only get worse from here on. It wasn't her that was the cause but she was provoking it. His inner demon. It was starting to address Rin as its' mate, as its' lover. Sesshomaru wasn't denying the feelings either, he was welcoming it. Rin doesn't understand the way Inuyoukai's behave when they find their mate and hurting her was the last thing on his mind. He knew deep down she was destined for him when he first saw her but failed to accept the truth, all because of his pride of being a full fledged demon. Never did he want to be like his father or brother and mate with a human, one that was a concubine to say the least. It was illegal and a disgrace to his race.

Rin choked feeling the air she had left begin to leave her. It's not like she deserved the life to be taken from her just because he got all sensitive on a subject he inflicted. What was she suppose to do? Turn her back on him while he continued to mock her and imply false accusations? Hell no, she was not going to be walked all over on. Yes it was stupid and she should of just shut up and left it alone, but she wouldn't be herself if she hadn't said something now would she? Besides he admitted to sleeping with someone and you don't see her with her hands wrapped around his neck. It wasn't fair that he got to call her out but when she did it, she get's slammed against the wall. Just like a man. . .err. . .demon to get upset when it comes to 'their' supposed woman sleeping around. He apparently lacks the term of being faithful. Ugh we're not even together! Rin let out another whimper and dug her nails into Sesshomaru's arm. She knew that saying she would sleep with one of his comrades struck a nerve but damn, it's not like she would have done it. He obviously doesn't know her well enough.

"S-Sesshomaru I c-can't breathe." She choked out, continuing to claw at his arms. In response all she got was an even louder growl. In fact, he put more pressure than before."P-please."

By now all Sesshomaru was seeing was red. His demon was in control yet he still had command of his actions. She needed to understand that this was him showing her where her place is, how submissive she should be. It could be worse of course, the way an Inuyoukai would punish his mate would be to rape her, but he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing, even if she was asking for it. She let out a louder whimper and scratched at his hand around her neck. He narrowed his eyes at her but released some pressure off of her when he smelt tears forming in her eyes. His hold on her was more gentle but still stern, as he brought his face to the crook of her neck. He felt her flinch when his nose skimmed just below her ear but ignored it. He wanted very much to mark her and claim her, then no one would touch her, ever. Not even Ryukotsusei. He growled in approval knowing that if he were to claim Rin at this very instant, his hated enemy could no longer have her. Not that he ever did. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and breathed in her scent. She was afraid, angry and. . . .aroused? His eyes snapped open and with as much speed as he could gather ran to the other side of the room dropping Rin to the floor unceremoniously.

The room was silent and the only thing being heard was the sound of their panting. Rin swallowed the lump that was in her throat and rubber neck. She wasn't sure what brought Sesshomaru to his senses but whatever it was she was grateful for. She knew if he continued to squeeze her neck, he would of killed her. Rin's face suddenly paled at the thought. All this time she said he would never hurt her, that he would never act the way Ryukotsusei did towards her. A small tear fell from her face but she quickly wiped it away. She couldn't cry in front of him now, even though it wouldn't matter. He could smell it, he could smell her emotions which were probably running all over the place. He had never put his hands on her in a threatening way like he did now, all the other times were unintentional and maybe by accident, but now. . .he meant it. He knew exactly what he was doing. But what the hell was he trying to prove to her? Other then he was just as bad as Ryukotsusei is. Rin looked at Sesshomaru from the other side of the room who was staring back at her intently.

Sesshomaru's eyes were now back to their normal color as he stared at Rin. He wasn't going to explain his actions to her, for she was going to figure them out for herself no matter how many times it took to get the point across. He was the alpha and he expected her to be submissive when he wanted her to be. He did feel a tinge of guilt for hurting her the way he did of course, the bruise on her neck now starting to form would be his reminder of how much her hurt her. If he didn't catch her aroused sent when he did, he wasn't sure what would have happened. He completely blew away any trust he has built between them. She was scared of him. She didn't see him as Sesshomaru the son of Toga, no, he knew for a fact she saw him as her former master, Ryukotsusei. He growled softly so he wouldn't startle her, he didn't want her thinking of him as such. He acted on impulse upon hearing her statement. To him it was a threat that she would do exactly that; sleep with someone who was not him. He was aware of their relationship or rather lack of, but to him she was his and he was hers. He admits that mocking her was not the best of his intentions, but he would not tell her that.

Slowly he walked to her shaking form being cautious with every step. As if sensing his movements she ran to the nearest corner and knelled down with her head on her knees and her arms around her legs. He stilled and cocked his head to the side as if in thought. It disturbed him in a way that she was acting like this and he was to blame. He would do anything to gain the trust she somewhat had towards him. It would not be easy but he had to try. He straightened himself up and continued walking froward. He stopped right in front of her and knelled down. She was shaking even more, scared that he would hurt her again. Gently he scooped her into his arms, with ones hand under her knees and the other around her shoulder. She squirmed in his arms but he kept a firm hold on her and layed her gently on the bed with him leaning over her. He put both hands on each side of her head and stared down at her. She stared back at him as well but said nothing. He didn't expect her too. Her eyes were wide and red but no tears where found, his gaze shifted to her neck at the hand imprint that would be there for awhile.

He lowered his head down to her neck and kissed the spot that he grabbed softly. Rin's breathing picked up when she felt his warm breath fan across her neck, making her shiver at the contact. Sesshomaru felt this and kissed it again but lingered there for a few moments. He slid his lips over the bruise and opened his mouth and let his tongue lick the underline of her jaw. Rin gasped when she felt his slick tongue and gripped the sheets. She was still scared but was also anticipating for what was to come next, she wasn't sure what he was doing exactly but it was calming. Sesshomaru felt the change in her scent and began sucking below her earlobe, nibbling the area around her neck now and then. Rin rubbed her legs together feeling a warm sensation growing at the center of her core. This was nothing like the time she had grind up on him at the club when they first met. It was something else she couldn't explain, something that wasn't meant to be sexual but was turning out to be.

Sesshomaru bit down a little bit harder on her shoulder, elevating a small moan from Rin. Her hands glided their way into his hair, tugging on it softly. She heard a soft growl from above her and wondered if he liked her pulling his hair or not. She got her answer as his lips suddenly found hers, his teeth nipping gently at her bottom lip. His kiss was like anything she ever imagined. It was soft yet demanding, sweet yet fiery. She could feel that he was holding back from his true intent, mostly likely worried he would frighten her more then she already was. Though the later was true, she was curious as what his true extent would be like. She deepened the kiss, bringing his head closer to her and swiped her tongue over his lips. Sesshomaru abruptly pulled back but still towered over her small form, his eyes blazing with lust and authority. Rin took notice that his eyes were suddenly red once again but not because of anger, the markings on both his cheeks now jagged. It made him look more. . . .delicious? Rin mentally kicked herself at the stupid notion she used to describe his demeanor. He just looked more powerful, she guessed would be the right word.

Cinnamon brown stared into lustful golden hue. She ran her tongue over her bottom lip never once breaking eye contact. Sesshomaru's eyes followed the movement as he bent back down and licked the tongue that was still running along her own lips. Rin felt a sudden shock go through her and pulled back. By the look on his face, he probably felt it too. The next thing they both knew, both lips crashed together their lips meeting in a heated kiss. Sesshomaru pulled himself and Rin into a sitting position and ran his hands over the curves of her hips. When they broke apart they were both breathing hard. She gulped and bit her bottom lip, waiting for his next move. Sesshomaru could now scent her arousal had gotten stronger, but knew they could not go any further than this. Yes, he decided he would claim her as his mate, but he had to hold back his desire as she was still a virgin. He could lose control in the heat of the moment and hurt her, and he has promised himself never to do so again. Even if she crosses boundaries that are not meant to be crossed, the bruise on her neck would be the last proof of ever touching her again. Until they mate again.

Rin smiled when he got off the bed and offered his hand to her. As much as she wanted to. . .make love?. . . .she would be lying to herself if she said she was ready. She was far from experienced and wasn't aware of the basics on sex. The only thing she knew was that it would hurt like a bitch, but other then that nothing. So she really respected the fact Sesshomaru understood she wasn't ready for the next step, but didn't completely brush her off like she thought he would. She silently watched as he pulled the covers back and slipped into bed with his arms open. Blushing, she crawled into his arms and layed her head on his bare chest. Her eyes widened when she realized the fact he was practically naked. Wait when did he take his shirt off? She felt his chest vibrate and knew he was laughing at her. She frowned and huffed. She was starting to suspect he was bipolar with his sudden change of mood. She needed answers.

"Sesshomaru. . . ."Rin stopped herself when she heard his name escape her mouth. What was she suppose to say? Why did we almost have sex? Where you going to kill me? Are we together or something? Those were the top three she wanted to ask but didn't know how to start.

All this time they were trying so hard to avoid each other at all costs and now their cuddling together in his bed. It wasn't as if they admitted to anything on being a couple. She had always kept her guard up so that no one could ever be let in, but now Sesshomaru suddenly breaks that wall she tried so hard to build. Every encounter between them the pull had always gotten stronger, the feelings that they hid for years, him for centuries, awaken when they crossed paths. She said before that it wasn't a coincident but fate. So why would fate put two stubborn beings together if neither will come to terms with the emotions that bind them? It wasn't even three hours ago she was hand cuffed and fighting with the jackass holding her. Rin already acknowledged these feelings for him but didn't deny or except them either. She sighed and scooted closer to Sesshomaru, his arms tightening around her. She thought at first that maybe they were never real, but she's starting to question why she ever thought that in the first place.

Sesshomaru on the other hand was at a lost for words. He knew exactly what Rin wanted to say, but in truth wasn't sure if he had the right answers she was looking for. Up until now he pushed aside all feelings he's ever felt so that he could live up to the name he was given. But then all of that crashes down when one single human girl breaks through his exterior of a cold heartless Daiyoukai. During their time together he told himself that even though she was destined to be with him, he would not accept her as such and that she would mean nothing to him. All their fighting was meaningless and was more of a reason to push her away. But this time it was different. This argument opened his eyes to what he never could see from the begining. It was then that he finally decided to step up and be the Taiyoukai his father had wanted him to be, what his father expected him to be. Loving a human was not a weakness, if anything it was more of a reason to become stronger.

He understood now what his father had been trying to explain to him. The inner demon of an inu would awaken when they have found their mate that was designed for them and only them. And that mate just so happened to be Rin. It was her that he now knew was the reason his father had given his life. They would've killed Rin, and without the mate to a demon, they die as well. His father broke the law by marrying a concubine and seeing as he would be targeted either way, he was prepared to die. As much as it pained Toga, Izayoi came along with him to be executed, for dying alongside you're mate was far painless then dying without them. Sesshomaru only wished his father would have told him then, but he was too stubborn that he did not wish to hear any of it.

A sigh of content brought Sesshomaru out of thought as he looked down at the now sleeping Rin. He let an actual genuine smile stretch across his face as she buried her head in the crook of his neck. After all this time he failed to notice his feelings for the girl in his arms, but after nearly killing her, he could no longer deny them. It was time he got over his pride and grew up. He would no longer be the stubborn pup he use to be. He would admit his feelings to himself and then to Rin. . .his Rin. He was ready to take the next step. He remembered what she had said when he told her the news of his father and his mate's death, and couldn't help but smile.

"He's the most powerful demon in the world. What did Ryukotsusei say to him that made Toga give in? it must have been something important for him to give his life for." She said thoughtfully. Sesshomaru's eyes twitched, but that went unnoticed by Rin who was looking down at her lap.

"Hn. Perhaps it was." He mumbled letting his grip on the wheel loosen.

Ryukotsusei would pay for the murder of his father. He knew that Rin was his mate, which is why he threatened her life. Sesshomaru knew that would not stop him from taking her as his. His grip on Rin tightened more but not enough to hurt her and brought her closer to his chest. He would rather die then see her with someone else, especially Ryukotsusei . When they wake up he would make sure that she understood that she was his. Not in the matter of speaking as a possession, but as his mate. It might have taken him awhile to accept his feelings for her, but now that he has. . .Sesshomaru kissed her lips softly and shut his eyes. They are both stubborn, but at least now they can be stubborn together.

"Goodnight. . .my maatee." He purred softly in her ear. Rin stirred in his grasp but remained asleep. Seeshomaru kissed her one last time and finally let sleep overcome him.

Yes people I know what you're all thinking. . .IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! haha ugh, I honesltly can't believe how stubborn and hard headed they both are(even though I made them that way.=p) So trust me when I say I'm damn happy they owned up and excepted their feelings for eachother.
