This whole chapter is a flashback, but it's longer than the first chapter.

Flashback

The clanging of metals striking each other was heard in an empty field of grass. Sesshomaru and Rin were battling each other. Rin was wearing a demon slayer outfit that Sango had given her. It was slightly modified to be able to be hidden while Rin wore her kimonos. The legs were cut short, stopping mid thigh, and the sleeves were only 2 inches past her shoulders.

"Attack your enemy relentlessly Rin." Sesshomaru reminded the panting girl a meter away from him. She nodded in response and started to circle him again.

He didn't move as Rin continued to slowly and silently circle him. She has been practicing, Sesshomaru thought, even a normal demon wouldn't be able to hear her. His thoughts were interrupted when the air to his left shifted and he moved his sword accordingly to block her blade. She put pressure against the blade and suddenly kicked out towards his legs.

Sesshomaru jumped and disappeared mid jump. "Where are you?" Rin whispered stepping into a defensive position and closing her eyes. Hearing a blade, she barely dodged her lord's sword as it nicked her forearm. She spun around and crouched trying to kick out his legs again.

He leaped back, but just as his feet touched the ground he was being assaulted by his ward's blade. Better, she's getting close- the scent of her sweat had filled his senses and he side stepped out of her range. Too close. She was panting even harder and he decided that the training was over.

Quickly, he hit the hilt of her sword with his and disarmed her. Rin turned her head to watch her sword fly out of her grasp in shock. The next thing she knew, her hands were pinned above her to the base tree and her breath was knocked out of her. She blinked up towards her lord as he pressed her to the ground.

"Pinned, if I was an actual demon, you would have lost your life, not your sword." He let her wrists go and started to walk back towards the camp that they had set up. Sesshomaru paused at the edge of the clearing as Rin was collecting her sword. "There is a hot spring nearby. Cleanse yourself there and return to camp." He continued walking.

Rin smiled eagerly, "Yes My Lord!" She started walking in the direction of the hot springs, not knowing that a pair of eyes watched her as she went.

That girl does not know what she does to this Sesshomaru. He grimaced slightly and tried to calm the blood heating in his crotch. Her scent set me off, but pinning her like that made it even worse. He arrived at camp and Jaken was sitting, tending to the fire.

"My Lord! You have returned from your practice." The toad stated, obviously happy that Rin wasn't there.

"I'm going to bathe, fetch some fish for her." He left Jaken sputtering after him as he went to the hot spring that Rin had gone to earlier. As soon as he arrived, he noticed that Rin wasn't around. Looking around he made sure no one was around and he undressed himself. Where could she be? He stepped into the steamed water and walked to the other side of the springs. The water barely covered his narrow hips, but his V muscle was clearly visible.

Sesshomaru reached the edge and looked down to see another set of springs below. She must be there. He sat and looked around until he spotted her near the middle of the spring. The steam made it difficult to see her clearly, but her silhouette was absolutely stunning. Her wet hair clung to her back and shoulders. He could practically see the water rolling off her hair and trailing down her small waist to travel further down to her full hips. He turned away from her and cleaned the sweat and grim off of his own body. Sesshomaru spent quite some time watching Rin clean herself after his body was rid of all the undesirables.

He hissed slightly noticing how his member was erect again. Just seeing her silhouette gets me like this, what have I become? Sesshomaru stepped out of the springs and dried himself while putting back on his kimono and armor. He had put his lower robes on loosely when a certain scent drifted into his nose.

Damn that witch again. Sesshomaru sped off in the direction that the scent was coming from. He jumped down to the lower level and followed the scent. In a few seconds he spotted her black hair and blood red and white kimono. He landed behind her and she turned her head slightly in his direction. "What do you want here?" Sesshomaru demanded in a low voice.

She turned to him fully and dropped her fan, "What I've always wanted," she came closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "you." She leaned her head towards his.

"Kagura," Sesshomaru warned, "I'm in no mood for your petty games of lust." The smell of her arousal filled the air around them, and it disgusted him. She brought her head back to look him in the eyes.

"Why? Am I not good enough for this Sesshomaru?" She begged him, pleading him with her red eyes to answer her. He didn't answer her and she stepped back glaring at him. "It's that human wench isn't it!" She screeched at him, fury was coming off of her in waves. "If she wasn't here, then I could have you all to myself! I might as well kill her now and take you for my own." Kagura turned quickly on her heel and snatched up her fan.

In a flash, she had her hands pinned to a tree and her body was also being crushed against the tree. "You will not harm her." Sesshomaru growled deeply in her face while baring his fangs at her. She whimpered and clenched her eyes shut. Her whimper wasn't just from the pain, but also having his body crushing hers to the tree.

A rustling came from the bushes to the side of them and Sesshomaru whipped his head around to see the intruder. His blood ran cold when he saw Rin standing there staring at them.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Her Lord was pressing the wind sorceress to a tree with his body. He was only wearing his under robes and it was hanging loosely on his body. Kagura looked like her face as contorted in pain and pleasure. It seemed like quite an intimate scene. "I'm sorry My Lord, I didn't mean to intrude." She bowed and quickly rushed out the way she came.

"It looks like she got the picture quite well." Kagura grinned and wriggled her body that was trapped against his. He growled louder and threw her to the ground.

"If I see you anywhere near her or I again, I will kill you." Sesshomaru was beyond livid, but he was also concerned. What had she thought when she saw that? What does she think now? Kagura picked herself up and took a step towards Sesshomaru until a green whip of poison slashed the bottom of her kimono, slightly eating it away. She plucked a feather in her hair and a whirlwind appeared. Once the wind settled, Kagura was already flying away on her feather.

He rushed back to his clothes and hastily put them on. He arrived at the camp a few minutes later. Rin was already prepared for sleep. "Rin," he called to her. She froze for a second before turning to face him.

"My Lord?" She replied, eyes downcast.

"About what you saw," he paused, not knowing how to complete his sentence. Rin smiled up at him, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.

"I understand My Lord. You are a grown male, and you have urges that can only be sated by another demoness." She yawned and gave him another small smile. "I'm very tired, My Lord, I'm going to retire for the night." She turned her back on him again and curled next to Ah-Un and went to sleep.

"My Lord," Jaken whispered, "she didn't touch the fish I worked so hard to retrieve for her." Sesshomaru only grunted and jumped up into a tree. "My Lord!" When Jaken didn't get a reply he sighed and slumped against a tree. "What's the matter with those two?" Jaken wondered aloud.

The next few nights were the same, Rin barely ate, didn't talk to Sesshomaru, and was always somewhere doing something. She would immediately go to sleep with Ah-Un. Each night, Sesshomaru watched her sleep before closing his eyes to rest for a bit.
