Chapter 10 Raizen

"You will open a tunnel to demon world." Lord Sesshomaru said.

Koenma had arrived at the shrine at dawn; having received a call from Genkai the night before asking him to come.

"What? I can't just open a tunnel to demon world." Koenma didn't know what Lord Sesshomaru was up too but the idea of him going to demon would when everything there was so unstable was rather unattractive.

"You can and you will, or I will." Lord Sesshomaru said calmly, causing the young prince to shiver.

Koenma didn't really know how strong Lord Sesshomaru was, if he was even able to break the kekkai barrier or not, he had never been pushed to his limits, at least not when spirit world was watching. He had only ever used just as much power as was necessary and no more. "Why do you want to go to demon world now, you've been here so long?"

"I now have who I was waiting for; it is time for me to return to the west." Sesshomaru said, his voice was calm but his eyes had narrowed.

Koenma looked to Rin worriedly, "You're taking a human to demon world? The lords of demon world are at a stalemate right now but there is no telling when war will break out."

"Rin's safety is my concern not yours." Lord Sesshomaru's claws started to drip poison, and Koenma shrunk back.

"Don't worry about me, I'm used to demons remember." Rin smiled.

This didn't make Koenma feel any better. "Oh fine, I'll call for the SDF to open a tunnel."

Once the tunnel was open, Rin hugged Yukina and Genkai goodbye then ran over to Sesshomaru. He rapped one arm around her waist, and his cloud formed under their feet. Rin waved to everyone and the two flew through to demon world.

They came out over a forest, and Sesshomaru turned to the west. Rin watched the trees and mountains go by. Shortly before dawn the next morning Sesshomaru woke Rin who was sleeping with her head on his shoulder, when she blinked up at him he nodded to the castle they were about to land in front of. Rin rubbed her eyes as they touched down. They were immediately surrounded by eight demons who were all dressed alike and bald.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" One stepped forward and knelt before them. "You have returned, Lord Raizen has wanted to see you for some time now."

"Tell him we have arrived," Sesshomaru still with his arm around Rin walked past the demons, "and, Hokushin, let every one know if they touch Rin, they will die."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." Hokushin ran ahead of them to do as he was ordered.

Sesshomaru led Rin to a nicely furnished bed chamber and she put her stuff away. He then led her to the castle library, they didn't wait long before there was a knock at the door, and Lord Raizen entered.

"Father, you sure took your time getting here." Lord Raizen slumped in a chair, but at seeing Rin he sat up strait. "Rin? How...?" He looked at Sesshomaru for an explanation.

"She found a portal through time and jumped five hundred years to the present."

"I see." He smiled at Rin. "Rin, you've grown up to be quite beautiful."

Rin blushed, "Thank you, Raizen."

Raizen's nose twitched then eyed Sesshomaru. "Father, is Rin pack?"

"Yes."

"I see, have you chosen a mate for her?" Raizen smirked.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "No."

"Hmm..." Raizen sank back into his chair smiling.

Sesshomaru growled.

Raizen laughed, "It's not like that, I made my choice a long time ago. Besides..."

"WHERE ARE YOU, OLD MAN?" Raizen was interrupted by a shout then the door flew open, standing there was Yusuke. He looked surprised to see all of them.

"Yusuke, meet my father, Sesshomaru." Raizen said, he was interested to see how things would go between the two, knowing Yusuke's mouth and Sesshomaru's tolerance level; it was bound to be a good lesson for the boy.

"Humph, your old man? Hmm... Rin, is that you? What are you doing here?" Yusuke walked over to Rin.

"I should be the one asking that. What's the spirit detective doing in demon world?" Rin was truly confused by his presence here of all places.

"I'm not the spirit detective any more. Turns out demons aren't aloud to have that job."

"Half-breed." Sesshomaru said with slight discussed.

Yusuke glared at Sesshomaru.

"Atavism of the mazoku, actually." Raizen said, blithely, his smile wide.

"No better." Sesshomaru said dismissively.

"Hey, you got a problem with me?" Yusuke shouted angrily.

Rin giggled, "A bit like Uncle InuYasha, isn't he?" They all looked at her, which only made her giggle more, "You know I'm right, he sounded just like him."

"You still haven't told me why you're here, Rin." Yusuke crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh, I'm with Sesshomaru." Rin said smiling.

"No dip, I figured that much..." Yusuke said poking Rin's arm, but before he could finish his statement he found himself held to the wall with Sesshomaru's hand pinning his throat.

Sesshomaru's growl was deep in his throat and his eyes were solid red. The only thing that stopped him from killing Yusuke on the spot was Rin's hand on his arm. As Sesshomaru slowly calmed he kept his hand at the boy's throat but could now make out Rin's words.

"...y fault, Sesshomaru I should have known he was going to touch me and stepped away, please don't kill him." Sesshomaru looked down at Rin, his eyes back to there normal gold.

It was only now that he noticed Raizen's hands on his and the boy's shoulders trying to push them apart, as well as the build up of demon energy at the tip of one of the boy's fingers. Rin also noticing the concentrated energy, and ducked under Sesshomaru's arm to stand between them. Sesshomaru instantly released Yusuke, rapped his arm around Rin and had her on the other side of the room in a moment.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Yusuke screamed.

"Don't touch Rin." Raizen said checking Yusuke's neck.

"Oh, you think? Where did that come from anyway?" But he let the energy dissipate from his finger.

"Rin is an eligible female, no one can touch her except her alpha and whoever he choices as her mate."

"He tried to kill me!" Yusuke was still shouting.

"Don't be ridicules, if he had tried, you would be dead." Raizen went back to his chair.

Rin was listening to the conversation and breathed a sigh of relief, but held her breath again when she looked up at Sesshomaru, he still had one arm tight around her and she could feel his growl even though she could no longer hear it.

"Keep the boy out of our way." Sesshomaru commanded then took Rin back to the other room.

Once inside with the door closed behind them Sesshomaru took Rin's arm and inspected it, she was wearing her practice clothes that where similar to Genkai's except with short sleeves. So when Yusuke had pocked her, he had touched her skin.

"Sesshomaru, he wasn't going to hurt me." Rin watched as Sesshomaru rubbed at her arm obliterating Yusuke's scent, he was still very upset, and Rin wondered why, he hadn't reacted this strong when Kurama touched her all those months ago.
