Breaking of Ordinance Pt.1

The silence that assembled between the two made Rin want to take back even mentioning her question in the first place. It was intricate to decipher the look Sesshomaru was giving her as a bad one or a good one. If anything he looked as nonchalant as possible; perhaps not even bothering to have acknowldge her question in the first place. She couldn't blame him though. It was obvious that what law Toga had broke was of great importance that he was put to death for, even though he died for her sake in the process. Either way it seemed he was to die no matter what. The war between their gangs would most likely have continued if she were not ever destined to be mates with Sesshomaru, which is why she was so curious as to know why. There where so little things she knew that consisted of demon tendency as well as how they do things aside from humans. While working at the clubs with both humans and demons, she was only told of unimportant things regarding the demon world. So of course in her mind she had a right to know what it was his father did that blew everyone into a frinzy. Plus if they were to be mates then he shouldn't keep things from her, no matter how personal they were. Which in this certain situation that they were in now, was pretty personal.

If it had been anyone different who asked that offensive question, Sesshomaru would make sure that would be the last thing that came out of their mouth. But seeing as it was Rin out of all people, minus demon, he had to make an exception. He knew she would want to know someday, he just never expected it to be this early on. Bringing up the past was still a hard thing for him to relive and come to terms with. Sometimes it angered him as he thought about the human bitch that he once believed made his father weak with her ningen emotions. He once thought that if weren't for her, his father would still be alive, his mother would still be here, and all the lands would still be united. Not that he considered them Allys of his, but his fathers. Just like everything else though, it was all in the past. He was a different demon now, a better one. He owed it all to the woman before him, her race that once discussed him when he treated them as nothing but filth. If it were not for her, he would still be lost and looking for himself within the darkness of his soul he never thought existed. The human onna who seduced him, not by her looks, not by indicating sexual activities, but by what was inside her. She brought back the emotions he had kept hidden deep within him, believing them to be gone. He would give her anything she asked, for not only did he owe her, but she deserved it. And he would give her what ever it is she wants, starting with the question she is curious to know.

Shuffling the papers in his hands, Sesshomaru set them down flat on desk, before getting up to walk towards the bed she sat anxiously on. Chuckling inwardly, he sat beside her, taking both her hands in his and setting them firmly in his lap. It wasn't a gesture to make her feel comfortable, she was far from being uncomfortable, but he needed to feel at ease before telling her of his fathers treachery. It was still a difficult topic to discuss. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and sighed before opening them to look directly into Rin's.

"It appears I can longer keep this from you, Rin. As much as I wanted to forget it, you have a right to know."He started and squeezed her hands gently."In order to be a leader of the gang in relation to what lands you own, one has to be of noble blood. Only three consist of demons while one is ruled by a human, a monk to be exact."He explained. Rin's eyes lit up a bit hearing the mention of a monk."Those that rule a portion of the lands must obey all rules whether you are demon or human. If one is to be broken, the punishment is automatically death."

Rin let out a shocked gasp, pulling one hand free from his grasp to cover her mouth."But why? I mean, isn't that a bit harsh?" She argued."I can understand breaking the law is serious, but death being the only source of punishment?"

"That is how demons operate. Demon jurisdiction is far different then humans. But one of the laws that must never be broken and is worse then all the others, is courting a concubine."Rin couldn't help but notice the way his jaw clenched."It is of great offense to mate with someone who is not of noble blood, a human more so. It was incredulously that the other leaders believed a human was chosen to be his mate. My father was the first ever demon to have a human mate. A full fledged demon to be correct." His hand squeezed her hand a little tighter."But it was even more dishonoring of my father to do so, for he already had a mate."

It wasn't hard to see Sesshomaru was a little uneasy explaining this to her. Rin only wished she could say something to comfort him, but she would be lying to not only him but herself, if she said she knew what he was going through. Because she had no clue. There was some history with him and his father that was not of good memories, but Rin wanted to know why. When she first met Toga, she noticed how Sesshomaru acted towards him. Although he showed respect, there was a father, son relationship missing between them. Back then Rin thought it was because Sesshomaru was an asshole who only cared for himself. But hearing where this story was going, she now understood all the hostility between the two. It just made since now hearing him explain his past to her. The only sort of comfort she could give him was her undeviating attention. He needed someone to talk to about this, it was obvious he's been holding it all inside. She lazily rubbed her thumb in circles on his hand while he played with her fingers.

"My mother and father were of an arranged marriage. From what I was told, there was no love between them. When I was born she did not care for me or even thought of me as her son. I suppose it was because I took a liking to my father more then her, as well as the resemblance. Two centuries after I was born was when Inuyasha's mother came into our lives. I was not happy that my father requested a concubine, for he had my mother, but I was still young and did not understand. That is how my father discovered her to be his destined mate." He paused looking straight into her eyes."My mother left soon after, knowing she had no place by my fathers side anymore. He took a huge risk in mating Izayoi. An even bigger risk was having a hanyou child by her. It brought shame to our kind, but it did not matter to him apparently."

Rin's thumb stopped it's stroking as she looked at Sesshomaru. He had a far off look in his eyes as if he was remembering the day it actually happened. It was apparent that bringing up the topic of his mother meant very little to him by the way he spoke about her, but when it came to Izayoi, if Rin didn't know any better she would think that there was a certain understanding in his voice. Almost like he regretted whatever it was he did to her in the past or how he treated her. The first and last time she met Izayoi, he looked at her with nothing but hate and discuss. Rin couldn't help but wonder if things were different back then, if she had met Sesshomaru early on and brought out his human emotions, would he have cared for Izayoi like the mother he never had? Or continue to treat her as someone that was below him? The latter would have been the most likely choice, but seeing the demon in front of her now, softly caressing her hand, she would think otherwise. He was a different demon then before, a better one.

"Okay I think I'm understanding it now. Toga broke the demon law by marrying his concubine who was a human and not of noble blood, right?" She concluded. Sesshomaru smirked nodding his head."Well that makes sense. But why was Ryukotsusei the one to kill them?"

Sesshomaru was silent for a moment before answering her."He was not the one who was suppose to initiate the execution. He had it in his mind that if he were to threaten you're life, then he could set up his plan murdering my father without the others knowing. I do not know why they're rivalry with each other begun in the first place, but it always comes back to you somehow." He pondered the thought tilting his head to the side, watching her expression.

She gawked at him snatching her only hand in his grasp to cross her arms together."Are you saying I'm to blame for everything?" She inquired through gritted teeth. She hated being accused for someone else's problems."Cause if you are then I can leave right now."

A low chuckle escaped his mouth as he shook his head. She almost made him want to roll his eyes at how childish she can be, as well as ignorant. It probably wasn't the right choice of words to say, but he didn't mean to make it sound as if she was the cause for everything that's happened. Although she was, he was not really in the mood to argue with her. Now that he thought about it, everything always did retrace it's steps back to her. He furrowed his brows in thought for a second, thinking why she was constantly starting an uprising. He knew the first time he caught her scent there was something special about her. Annoyingly special so to speak. He still wondered how Ryukotsusei came upon such a person such as she. Rin was far from the type of female he deemed as the kind of woman who caught his eye. His suspicion almost made him think the bastard knew this whole time that she was his mate to begin with. He was sure his father would know something about this, but he would never get the chance to hear it.

He raised a brow as she continued to glare at him with her arms still crossed. He had to keep reminding himself she wasn't use to his silent gestures when it came to answering her questions. Even if she did understand them, Rin always wanted him to say it out loud. It never seized to amaze him that even the tiniest things can rile her up. If anything, she was almost the female version of Inuyasha. She's just as stubborn as she is childish. Grinning, he cupped her chin in both his hands and leaned in to give her a kiss. He was inwardly smirking as she met him halfway, her lips meeting his in a quick but passionate kiss. It was when they pulled away that she unhooked her hands, bringing one of them to playfully smack his cheek. She stood up off the bed putting her hands on her hips, grinning at the bemused Inuyoukai.

"Don't think that's gonna distract me, Sesshy. I'll let you're little slip up slide this time. But one more mistake, and your sleeping on the couch." She threatened with a smirk that rivaled his own. The corner of his lips twitched upwards, causing Rin to shudder."Eww Sesshomaru don't smile, it's creepy when you do."

He simply grinned at her and stood up from the bed as well."I have some important matters to discuss with the hanyou. I'll take you to the miko on my way there."

Rin frowned and crinkled her nose. Although he never shows it, he cares for Inuyasha. But to hide his affections for his brother he always seems to throw in some sort of insult to cover it up. She shrugged her shoulders while shaking her head in a disapproving gesture. She figured sooner or later the stoic demon will quit being a hard ass towards Inuyasha and start acting like the loving brother he should be. She snorted at the last part. Yeah right. . .

"Would it kill you to not insult him all the time? He's your brother you know." She stated nonchalantly as they walked out their bedchambers to Inuyasha's room. He shot her dubious look before looking straight ahead."What was that look for?"

"I insult him because he is an imbecile, Rin. You have not lived with him for as long as I have. Trust this Sesshomaru when he says Inuyasha does not deserve you're. . . sympathy." He smirked as she gave an immature 'hmph' and continued walking.

She pouted her lips out in an irritated manner, but glanced at him from the corner of her eye smiling. Rin still couldn't believe that she was actually here with him joking around while not even two weeks ago he was trying to kill her. Funny how things suddenly did a one-eighty. In all honesty, she couldn't ask for anything more then to be with Sesshomaru. It was still undecided between them on what they planned on doing when the war was over. To make things even more strange, it never once crossed her mind. It all kind of happened a little too fast for her liking, not that she mind, but where would they go from here? Rin always thought she would grow up to be one of Ryukotsusei concubines and live a life full of nothing but misery. She cringed at the thought, inwardly gagging at imagining herself touching that bastard. Rin stole a quick glance at Sesshomaru before reaching her hand out, entwining her slim fingers with his. She felt him squeeze hers and couldn't help but giggle.

Hm. . .I kinda like his soft side.

Just as they were about to stop in front of the bedroom door, the shoji door flung open, a wide eyed Inuyasha running out with a look of panic plastered on his face. Not noticing the look on his brother's face, Sesshomaru hurriedly grabbed Rin by the waist moving at demon speed to avoid getting hit by the door. He growled low in his throat while moving his hands all over her body, making sure that there were no scratches on her. She rolled her eyes before swatting his roaming hands away, a blush spreading on her face. Seeming satisfied that she was unharmed he turned back to look at Inuyasha with an annoyed look, before narrowing his eyes at the serious look he gave the two.

"Sesshomaru we got a problem." He panted as if he had just ran a marathon. Rin noticed this and cocked her head to the side in confusion.

Her cinnamon eyes went from his tousled hair to his flushed cheeks and then moved further down to his wrinkled clothes. Her eyes suddnely widened in realization, her own cheeks turning a darker shade."I don't even wanna know what you were doing in there just now." She mumbled to herself. She looked up at Sesshomaru who wrinkled his nose in discuss.

"If it has to do with you and the miko, I will not waste my time." He snarled, glaring down at the embarrassed Rin once sensing her discomfort. She bit her lip trying to stifle a laugh as Inuyasha's cheeks turned a darker shade of pink.

"Uh just forget about that will ya?"He mumbled." Anyway I got information that Naraku plans on striking tonight." His demeanor once again turned serious. Rin felt her whole body still at the mention of Naraku. Was he really planning on making a move now?

She felt the grip of Sesshomaru's hand tighten to the point of it being painful. Lightly she tugged on the edge of his shirt letting him know he was hurting her. His grip loosened a bit but it was still held firmly in his grasp. She could tell that he was worried, not for himself but for her. It was clear that Ryukotsusei intended on sending Naraku to make his first move, which was to get her out of the west before striking. She was after all his most prized possession that he didn't want scratched in anyway. That only made her loathe the bastard more then ever. If that was all she was to him, then she refused to be brought back to the east, not that she wanted to return, mind you. She finally felt like she belonged somewhere and that just so happened to be with Sesshomaru. No matter how much of an asshole he was at times, she still loved him. Sesshomaru softly growled in his throat before untwining his hand from Rin. If what Inuyasha said was true, which most likely it was, then he had to immediately prepare for battle.

"Hn. I suppose Miroku has informed you of this." He stated more then asked. Of course he knew it was Miroku. He was an ally of the west there for a trusted friend of both him and his brother. It was because of him that they were able to find the hideouts of the Akai ryuu. Inuyasha nodded his head before quickly walking back into his room, both Sesshomaru and Rin following closely behind.

A flash of white disappeared into the bathroom with a flushed and irritated Kagome right on his tail. Rin winced as the door slammed, pictures on the wall shaking at the force. No doubt Kagome was frustrated that their. . .plans were cut short, and from the yelling being heard from the inside, she wasn't pleased that he was leaving her, or more demanding she stay in the room. Rin raised a brow at the last part. Why the hell would she want to join in if she was just a human? Surely she wasn't that insane. Rin folded her arms tapping a finger on her chin in thought. She remembered seconds prior Sesshomaru mentioning the word miko once or twice when referring to her. She was once again curious as to what that meant. As if reading her thoughts, Sesshomaru turned to look at Rin, eyebrow raised and a faint smirk in his lips.

"She has powers of a priestess mate. A powerful being aside from demons who are strong and carry with them a bow an arrow that can purify any demon."He explained. Rin's eyes widened before blinking a few times. She made a note to ask him more of this demons and magic shit when the war was over and done with. There was just so much that she didn't know about.

"Huh, well that's interesting. . . .I'm guessing there's more then just that out there right?" He nodded his head in reply before walking towards the bathroom, banging on the door.

There was loud noise and shuffling on the other side before the door opened."Alright I'm comin'. I'm serious Kagome, stay here." He grunted walking out the door. Kagome walked out the bathroom with a frown on her face, watching him leave. With a growl she began running after Inuyasha's retreating form.

Rin smiled as Kagome followed Inuyasha out the door, leaving just her and Sesshomaru in the room. She turned and opened her mouth to comment on the two before his lips crashed down to hers in a passionate bruising kiss. She was caught off guard but returned it with just as much force as he did. All too quickly he pulled back from her, sniffing the air. She was just about to protest before he threw himself on her with his arms wrapped around her midsection, as they both fell to the floor. He made sure to keep some of his weight off of her so he wouldn't crush her. Rin glared at him and was about to push his heavy body from her before a loud crash shook the house. The sudden force caused her to instinctively throw her hands over her face, shielding herself as crumbs from the ceiling fell. Gun shots were suddenly fired which only seemed to startle her more, causing her to let out a piercing scream. Sesshomaru winced as her scream was hurting his sensitive ears and had half a mind to cover her mouth, but decided not to. She was scared so for now he would let her get it out of her system.

She continued to scream bloody murder as there were more loud crashes being heard from different areas of the mansion as well as yelling and more gun shots being fired. Growling deep in his throat, he untangled one of his arms from her waist and covered her mouth with his hand, quieting down her screams. Rin narrowed her eyes groaning at the force he was forced to use to keep her mouth shut. If this had been another time, she would find this remotely funny and the position they were in a little kinky, but with them being attacked and him holding her down, she was far from amused. Abruptly he pulled himself up, yanking Rin to her feet as well before walking towards a door and throwing her in. He walked in half way quickly kissing her lips and pulling back.

"I trust you will stay in here mate. I will be back shortly." He grinned and shut the door. There was a sudden 'click' as Rin turned her head to look at her surroundings. Anger filled her as she clenched her fist and started banging on the door as hard as she could. She yelled at the top of her lungs, already knowing he had left the room to join the fight.

"Sesshomaru you son of a bitch! You locked me in a closet!" She screamed. Her hand reached for the doorknob shaking and twisting it from side to side. She felt around it looking for the lock before clenching her teeth when she found out it locked from the outside. She threw her hands in the air and let out a frustrated groan.

Biting her bottom lip she leaned against the wall letting her body slide down to the floor until her knees bent into a crouching stance. She knew he only did it to protect her and all, but to lock her in a damn closet? He must really be an idiot to think she would leave the room while Naraku's men were outside. Yeah, she was a hot head but not an imbecile. If anything she would rather crawl under a bed then follow him down stairs to where there are not only deadly demons, but deadly demons who happen to be carrying guns. Maybe if she was some sort of priestess like Kagome and had some kind of powers, then that would be different, she would be wanting in on the fight. She huffed letting her butt hit the ground, resting her arms over her bent knees. Who knew how this would all end, they already broke into the mansion, who's to say they won't kill everyone? If it was that easy, then it wouldn't be hard to bust down that door and take her away, back to the monster she never wanted to return too. But she couldn't think like that. She wouldn't let herself believe someone like Naraku who is a hanyou could defeat Sesshomaru, a full fledged powerful Inuyoukai.

Another noise made her jump where she sat, gun shots being fired off closer to where she was. She reclined her head back against the wall, softly banging it. As long as she stayed in the closet she was hiding in, then there was nothing to worry about. She just had to keep telling herself that Sesshomaru would come back in no time. She smiled and let out a hopeful sigh but stopped short when the sound of a door opening and being shut, caused her breathing to stop. Someone was in the room. And she had no idea who the hell it was. So many things were running through her mind of who it could be, though the main one she was praying was her mate and not Naraku or any of his comrades. She heard the footsteps coming closer to the closet she was in, her hand slowly covering her mouth to quiet her breaths. Her heart stopped when they stopped outside the closet door and began twisting the knob. It was still locked when she noticed it had yet to open, for that she was thankful of. Her relief was short lived when the familiar 'click' was heard before the person on the outside started to slowly open the door, Rin immediately backing up further into the wall, though not moving anywhere. She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes when the door was fully opened to reveal the person. Kami don't let me die. . . . .
