Disclaimer: I Do not own Inu Yasha
Rin completely understood his question which meant, "You have chosen me over the human prince, because you are in love with me. But why are you in love with ME and not HIM or any OTHER human?"
Rin couldn't help her ringles. She said confidently, "Because it was always YOU!" Silly! Sesshomaru felt thatthe emphasis on the word 'you' only added the unspoken word 'silly' behind. But he was heedless to that. He chose to enjoy her confidence. But that was not enough for him. He…. wanted more of her words to caress him.
No wonder opposites attract! He is such a miser while spending his own words; but he expects his mate to be a spendthrift with her words!
Rin got him as always; but this time she gently broke away from his embrace to express herself in the best ways she is capable of. Singing and dancing. She began-
SONG BEGINS
(Rin was dancing in joy while singing)
The one who is born into this world
Only to bounce me about like a ball hurled
The one who has severed my heart in two, ruthlessly!
(Sesshomaru inwardly flinched at the adverb 'ruthlessly')
The one who has entered me, soundlessly
The one who has churned my soul with amber eyes, icily
You are the one Mi-Lord, you are the only.
(While enjoying the deep meaning of the song, Sesshomaru was gracefully following Rin, in his majestic stride, when she was dancing across the fields; his ears were committed to her voice and his eyes to her dancing form)
Only after beholding you I began to love this world
(Rin recalled how the mute girl, that she was, had transformed into a talkative girl during her initial days with her lord; how she had grown to love her lord and her world)
Let us embrace our Love for ETERNITY, shall we?
(Rin ringled at this sentence; Sesshomaru was more than pleased; but he didn't want her to stop; so she went on)
Oh Milord! Will you not lie, at least, that
I'm your beloved; with that one word I shall survive
Such clamor in flowers; such wars due to silence;
All because of you! Will my frail heart ever bear such penance?
(Sesshomaru wondered as how he had caused wars and turmoil among demons and how he has done the same with the fragile young maiden before him)
Oh majestic phoenix! Oh magnificent moonlight!
The one who knew too well of himself and of his world
The one who is exceedingly handsome; excessively brilliant
That the God Himself has defined you as His MAGNUM OPUS! the peak of all beauties!
Just to procreate you, how God must have exhausted all his powers and artistries!
Oh majestic phoenix! Oh magnificent moonlight!
I beg of you, let me live with you, day and night.
(Sesshomaru was immensely thrilled at her praises; Does… Rin has so much regard for me? No… 'regard' does not suit the intensity; 'LOVE'. My my! You should have seen Sesshomaru's being inflated by pride, joy, ecstasy, what not?)
Did He (i.e. God) gather nectar from flower and spice
Just to make your deep, sweet voice?
Did He gather light from the moon to make your eyes?
Did he gather gold from Heaven to make your irises?
Did he gather silver from Himself to make your long silky locks?
Did He gather the stars to make your claws?
Did He gather lightning to make lines on palms?
Did He have powdered pearl blended with cool breeze
Just to make your icy pale skin?
Did He gather His own essence to make your form?
(Sesshomaru was mentally floating in bliss with all these praises; he went and stood blocking her, not letting her to proceed her dancing. Rin blushed at this.)
But why is that He gathered stones to make your heart?
(Huh?! Sesshomaru's eyes widened at that remark. Surely Rin was teasing him. He was partly angry, mostly amused. She ringled and lightly patted his right chest. Before he could catch her hand, she proceeded in the other direction to dance)
Oh sweet one! Oh my beloved!
If I mull over your departure, my mind goes mad, I weep
And my teeth bites my pillow for lack of sleep-
Even on the softest bed,
Oh sweet one! Oh my beloved!
My heart throbs to touch you
My heart rips at the distance from you- GASP! (at the very moment Sesshomaru took Rin in his arms; his face so close to hers; his eyes piercing hers; Rin ringled her blush away and coined a befitting line to close her song)
Come! Lay your nose on mine; Hit my forehead with yours, will you….?
(and he did! Their eyes were fast shut in that position)
SONG ENDS-
They stood in that position for few blissful moments; both were feeling each other's breathe against their face.
"Are you satisfied my Lord?" Rin asked softly.
"Much more than that" said Sesshomaru in his deep tone.
Both had their eyes closed which somehow gave Rin some courage. Rin's hands sought his cheeks. He didn't back off. In fact, he seemed eager to her next move. Rin smiled as he was yielding to her. Her heart raced as she slightly tilted her head and was leaning closer…
"KEH! I'd never thought this day would come!" The bigmouth half-brother began his ranting. He wore a proud, satisfied look on his face.
"Inu Yasha! Sit boy!" came Kagome for rescuing her mate before Sesshomaru had him killed.
*THUD!*
Inu yasha crashed to the ground. "T-t-traitor!" Inu yasha accused, unable to get up. "Humph! Serves you right for barging into them!" Kagome retorted smugly.
"FOOLISH HALF-BREED!" Sesshomaru cursed, trying hard from blushing but in vain. He was so engrossed at the moment, he failed to scent intruders. Boy! Was he furious for spoiling his first special moment with Rin! Rin ringled at the funny brothers. She was blushing red though. She pressed her hands on his chest in her attempt to pacify him. It worked.
"Don't be so snobby, Sesshomaru! Have you forgotten your pups will be half-breeds like ME?" Inu yasha raged.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome yelled.
"This Sesshomaru will NEVER have his pups 'like' YOU. They will be much stronger, smarter, more civil and well-behaved. You cannot compete with them in the least." Sesshomaru proudly announced.
"Grrrr…." Inu yasha seethed and began "OH YEAH!? What happened to your 'I hate humans' attitude? And 'I vow never to take after my father' stance? You always say something and do something else, you proud, conceited-"
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
*THUD! CRASH! THUD! THUD!*
Despite his immediate yearning to exterminate Inu yasha, Sesshomaru was amused at how his half-brother was bullied by his mate. My mate will never act like yours; nor will I act like you. Hmph! She can't be blamed. She has to be unkind to an aggressive mutt like you. When it comes to dominating one's mate, Sesshomaru has indeed bettered Inu yasha and the former was pleased at his triumph.
Having noted that Inu yasha has received the retribution he deserved for his insolence and that even he (i.e Sesshomaru) would not have been able to cause so much physical damage to him as his mate did, in a matter of few seconds, Sesshomaru chose not to fight.
"If you could excuse us" said Sesshomaru and began floating upwards lifting Rin in bridal style. Before he took off in a ball of light, he warned, "and don't come after us again, half-breed"
Inu yasha only 'Grrrr…'ed at that remark. What can he say or do having his vicious mate beside?
"Where's he taking her at THIS time of the night?" Iny yasha fumed.
Kagome was in her dream world again… Inu yasha could even see stars in her eyes… "Oh, Inu yasha! You're already a father for two, and you still don't get it!" Kagome chided him bashfully.
"Huh?!" Inu Yasha indeed looked like an idiot, "Don't tell me he's gonna…."
Kagome was all red and was in a fit of giggles, "Way to go Rin! Go get him Girl!" she yelled, waving in the direction in which the new couple had departed.
Rin was on seventh heaven. She was actually in his arms! How happy and content she felt being by his side again. Sesshomaru was at the peak of satisfaction, a feeling he had never felt in his life. Rin didn't ask him where they're heading. She didn't care as long as she's with him. Sesshomaru landed on their destination and let Rin on the ground gently.
"Lord Sesshomaru! RIN!" Jaken shrieked excitedly. Ah-Un jumped to the heavens if at all that was possible.
(ahem…. Kagome has gotten a lotta imaginations… but you know our demon lord…. ^.^ sigh….)
"Master Jaken! Ah-Un! I missed you!"
"Rin! You're back!" Jaken didn't try to hide his joy in seeing her. It was his way of saying, what took you so long? I missed you!
"Yes, Master Jaken. I'm back for GOOD!" she didn't waste a moment to take him in her usual tight hug. This time he didn't protest. He hugged her back! She let him go and went to hug Ah-Un. She kissed both the heads on their cheek. The two were blushing red. The two-headed dragon went hysterical with joy. It was galloping around Rin in circles as if she was some sort of Goddess! Rin was constantly ringling (i.e. Rin + giggling) at this gesture.
"Stop it Ah-Un! You could hurt her!" yelled Jaken who envied that he didn't get the same kiss.
Ah-Un finally stopped, but was still in its hysterical mood.
"By the way Rin, how come you're back with us for good, when you're engaged?" Jaken finally stirred some sense out of his brain.
"I was never engaged, Master Jaken. It was a misconception"
Jaken's eyes began to pour tears like waterfall. He bent his right hand, rested his face on it and began weeping "Oh Rin! I thought I had lost you to those filthy humans forever!"
Foolish little imp! Sesshomaru cursed him inwardly, that Jaken overlooked the fact of Rin's humanity.
Rin brushed aside the 'filthy humans' remark knowing that it was unintentional. "Awww! Master Jaken, you know I'd never leave you behind like that." She took him in her arms again. She was undoubtedly happy that it was the first time Jaken had expressed his love to her in words. She gave him a kiss on the cheek which satisfied the toad.
Sesshomaru "hmph!"ed to himself.
"we'll never be apart" Rin said softly.
"Really!? You won't leave?" Jaken asked disbelievingly.
Rin remembered what she vowed to herself when she was eight, on the night she confronted Master Ungai. "Stupid Master Jaken! I'll always be with Lord Sesshomaru! FOREVER and EVER!" Rin affirmed out load. Sesshomaru visibly gasped but quickly composed himself. Sesshomaru's soul felt both joy and pain, pain overwhelming the joy.
Sesshomaru knew what Jaken was thinking, so he told before being asked, "Rin is to become the Lady of the West", which implies that 'Rin is to become my mate' to be prefixed. Rin blushed.
"GAWK…." The beak of the toad was wide open and was about to break. Voice got caught in throat. Even Ah-Un was shocked. But the dragon was quick to recover. It only meant that they'll all be together. It was again jumping from Earth to Heaven!
Is this some kind of Legacy left by the Inu father to his sons? First Lord Inu No Taisho; then Inu Yasha; Now Lord Sesshomaru; taking human for a mate…. I guess it is there in the family. Like father; like sons. Jaken mulled over the irony.
Jaken recalled the conversation Rin had with him years ago.
"Master Jaken… This empire of Lord Sesshomaru… What position do you think I might have in it?"
Never in the million years did he expect her to turn out to be "The Lady of the West!". But Jaken could understand. He knew how much Rin meant to his lord. His lord would have her in no other way.
"P-p-please For-forgive me, Mi-Lady!" Jaken gave a stuttered apology for hugging her and broke himself from her.
" 'Mi-Lady'? What has gotten into you, Master Jaken?" Rin was confused.
Instead of answering, the loyal demon servant bowed to her, said, "At your Service, Lady Rin". He had to, else Sesshomaru will have his head.
Rin picked the toad up and shook him violently, "Stop it, Master Jaken! Just call me 'Rin' as you always do! Please!" Jaken felt his bones crumbling, so he had to agree before getting killed. "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT, RIN! Just put me down!". Rin did and Jaken 'whew'ed.
Jaken did not appreciate the fact that his lord has taken a human for a mate. He has taken after his father after all. Nevertheless, he was happy it was Rin. He couldn't imagine his condition, if his lord took a ruthless powerful demoness for a mate. He can't manage TWO cold, heartless demon masters. Even Tenseiga cannot save him, in case he gets killed by the Lady demoness. On the other hand Rin is very sweet and kind. She actually loves Jaken as a friend. Jaken could only count his blessings and thank God for his fortune.
He felt elated that the future Lady of the West is only his loving companion and that she does not expect honorifics and such formalities of him. (he was partly amused that his Lady is EXACTLY OPPOSITE to his Lord in strength, power and personality) Jaken's eyes sparkled with unshed tears. He uttered softly, "That's…. great…"; then he quickly screeched in excitement, "We're all together again, Mi-Lord! Isn't it Wonderful?"
Sesshomaru sighed and blinked his agreement, which was enough for the toad to understand. The demon lord felt that the reunion session went well. "Rin. You must get back to the village-"
"Wha-?" Rin gasped.
"Let me finish. You must return for now. We shall…. 'get married' as how you call in human terms. Then we shall mate."
A reddened Rin clapped once in excitement and nodded her agreement, "Yes, Mi-lord!"
"Jaken. You and Ah-Un stay put. I will be back"
"Yes Milord!"
The couple took off.
Jaken began to appreciate the pairing. He knew too well only Rin understood and appreciated his lord's cold, rude, stoic demeanor and she was well-tuned and accustomed to it even from her childhood; so she'll be the most compatible woman for him. Lord Sesshomaru had always been hard-headed; once he sets his mind, he wouldn't change for the world. Years ago, after getting defeated by Inu Yasha again he threw Tenseiga away. While even Jaken didn't bother, she took Tenseiga with her; in a very short time she had managed to console him and even convince him into taking the sword back! Jaken was well aware that not even God could have accomplished the impossible task, which the young lady had.
Jaken's subconscious mind dug up certain shameless truths: that, no matter how handsome, strong and powerful Lord Sesshomaru is, any other female, even a demoness for that matter would rather die than having a cold, unfeeling, obstinate demon like him for a mate; that his Lord has changed so much, he would be nothing without Rin.
Gasp! How can I have such horrible thoughts about my Lord? Deep down, Jaken knew they were true…. He recalled…. That day when Rin was revived the second time… How his lord was broken at her death and how happy he was with her revival. How Sesshomaru was holding Rin when she was revived, just like her very first revival…. At that moment, Rin was wearing the moonstone 'meido seiki'….. Gasp! Jaken was perspiring. She was wearing the magic necklace…. supposedly the PROPERTY of Lady of the West. On that day…Was fate…. Was destiny indicating that Rin is to become Lady of the West in FUTURE?
Will Rin and Sesshomaru get married? What will happen to Prince Seiko?
