Her secret 'crush'
Well hello! I have a couple of rather 'desperate pleas' for the next chapter so here it is! And again – thanks for the reviews!
Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Salvation, Explanation, Resolution….
He approached the petite figure on his bed slowly.
Rin's fear mounted with his every step,
She remained motionless.
"Ah, you're eyes are closed but you are awake, I can tell because of the smell of fear you are emanating"
He slowly climbed on the bed.
She had to think of something – quick!
As he placed his face a breath away from hers,
She revolted.
Her left elbow aimed for his neck, followed by her right hand aiming for his face.
To her great surprise, he caught them both.
He smiled – a wicked smile. Sending shudders down her spine.
"I have to admit, you're very quick – quick for a human, that is, but not quick enough for me."
For the first time she saw him, she was immediately taken aback, He was – very handsome.
Of course! She inwardly scolded herself.
He is the vampire master, so don't fall for his charm you idiot!
He had long, thick, silver hair, secured with a high ponytail, his features were slender and masculine, the half-way open kimono revealed a beautifully carved chest, fair skin, and purple eyes.
Why…
His beauty rivals that of Lord Sesshoumaru's himself!
She shook her head violently,
Focus you baka-chan! She scolded again,
You're supposed to be biting this perverts' ego! Not giving him the reaction he wants!
"Humph! You couldn't have preyed on someone worse!" She spat.
He still had a firm hold on her entire being, with him behind her, arms in his, his bare chest engulfing her slender back and his head – nestled comfortably between the crook of her neck and shoulders.
It was all very romantic really…
She forced herself to suppress a blush…
She struggled, but to her surprise, his hold on her was extremely strong – yet so gentle. He deeply inhaled her scent.
"Ah, tell me why, human-" he crooned, as he playfully bit the outlines of her left ear.
"why I couldn't have preyed on someone else worse…"
His voice drifted off as he started kissing her neck, making his way down to her shoulders – she blushed furiously as he abruptly slid her upper half of her kimono off, revealing soft, white, perfect skin.
"STOP!" she screamed, giving him an unexpected kick in his privates, and put on the thin kimono on haste – never had she felt so afraid In all her life before…
"How dare you!" he roared as he yanked her back to him on the bed by her hair as she tried to get away.
"If that's how you want to play it – " the vampire continued, "then that's how WE'LL play it." He emphasized crashing his whole body onto hers.
"NO!" she screamed.
"He will come for me! I know he will! And when he does, he'll tear you to pieces and make sure none of your remains are left intact!"
She thrashed her arms, pitifully trying to disengage herself from him –
Never had she felt more defiled in all her life – every inch of her protested how wrong all of this was.
He braced her beneath him as he spoke.
"Ah, it's that dog demon lord of yours now, is it?" he sneered.
She blinked.
"You mean Lord Sesshoumaru? Ha! It doesn't matter who, but someone will come for me – "
She verbally fought with new defiance that she didn't know she possessed.
"-and I just happen to know that that someone is madly in love with me, will protect me till' the end of time – and is the father of my future children!"
By this point she was raving….. She said anything- anything that would catch the vampire master's attention from taking the stamp of her innocence
from her so tactlessly.
She really didn't know what she was saying, all she knew was that she was trying to buy time for something.
Something called… Salvation.
Mentally she was referring to Lord Dolga, a powerful fox demon that she had helped 'nurse' back to health when his wounds brought him just a breath away from death's door.
That had been about two years ago, and he had already left, but was always somewhere nearby, waiting, watching, – protecting (indirectly).
But under that full moon-lit sky, the fox demon confessed his love to her…
She didn't accept him – She just couldn't reject him either…
Although Sesshoumaru had already made it clear that she was just his ward and nothing more, he slaughtered any demon mercilessly and scattered their remains if one was as daring as to even touch her…
But he didn't know about Lord Dolga.
A hidden knowledge that tugged painfully in her conscience.
Should he know?
Did he already know?...
Only Kagome knew about it…
The biggest question in her mind was that if he didn't want her, (or so he said, that is.) and any suitor that asked for her hand in marriage was immediately sent running – if not dead – by the petrifying Lord, what would he be keeping her unmarried for?
It pained her to see that he was slowly distancing himself from her,
Although he still visited her regularly, his visits were getting shorter and shorter, excusing himself that there were many troublesome matters that he had to settle within his realm.
So what is he doesn't come this time? She fought with herself.
He's been distancing himself from me anyway,
I'll – I'll learn how to love someone else in the future I'm sure…
No, she wasn't so sure.
A small part of her heart went out to Lord Dolga,
The rest was in the deadly grip of the dog demons' claws.
Abruptly, the whole room began to shake violently.
The vampire master suddenly looked up, his senses filled with alarm.
He growled.
Suddenly, the whole ceiling above them split in two, followed by vehement bolts of deadly green lightning…
Wait a minute… Green Lightning?
Lord Sesshoumaru's Bakusaiga!
So he did come for her after all!
Through the large cracks above her, she could see that the moon was still high, Sesshoumaru was still in a battle position, Bakusaiga unsheathed, a dark shadow covering his divine face, revealing glowing red, infuriated eyes with green irises.
Rin shuddered at the look,
Never in her life had she seen him look so – feral, before.
His demonic aura was so intense; she immediately began to lose consciousness…
The last thing she seen was the familiar purple-ish glow of Kagome's sacred arrows – a bright, pale flash of Inuyasha's Wind Scar and the whizzing sound of Sango's hiraikotsu.
She breathed out her nausea,
Sal… va…tion – at last.
Everything grew black…
…..^…..^…..^…..
Sesshoumaru was in unsighted rage and fury...
How could he?!
How could he have distanced himself so far away from her, leaving her wide open to danger?!
He practically screamed to himself, inwardly.
What reason was good enough for him to just forsake her, leaving death to be more welcoming than ever?
Her beauty? His pride? Her – her ….. cycle?
Or maybe he himself needed saving from that hazel-eyed angel, who ever so slowly, so surely, bound himself to her, all the while she was oblivious to it.
His sweet weakness.
His Rin!
He charged at the cave, where the vampire, who had defiled Rin with his touch, transformed into his full vampire form, ready to fight.
He never really trusted his hanyou brother on protecting her, much less his human companions.
He saw Inuyasha, his mate, and the demon slayer on a twin-tailed cat demon's back. They're arrived eh?
With Inuyasha swinging his Tetsusaiga angrily, Kagome, missing her flying target twice, and Sango, tossing her weapon at the vampires who dove at them.
Such a weak group, Sesshoumaru thought to himself.
He would make sure that Inuyasha would get a death punch for this.
By now, the vast cave that hid centuries and generations of vampires, was collapsing in a rapid state.
Thousands of lesser vampires came pouring out of the cave's mouth, with their eyes ablaze red in anger.
He overpowered them all easily as he made his way into the cave.
Please be alive – Rin…he thought.
Far below, he could hear his vassal yelling,
"Milord! Please come back alive! – oh and Rin too!"
Sesshoumaru cast a death glare at the toad-imp.
He always came back alive.
That Jakken, he fumed.
And charged into the darkness.
Soon he found the vampire master, hovering over Rin's slim figure.
She was not dead, only unconscious. – he silently breathed out relief.
"Ah!-" the vampire exclaimed, his voice, in a thundering, threatening volume.
"So you really did come after all!" he sneered, showing vicious, pearly-white fangs.
"It's amazing how one demon, so great and as powerful as you, could fall for such a weakling!"
Sesshoumaru tensed, gathering enormous amounts of poison on his hand that glowed dangerously green behind him, hidden from the vampire's plane of sight.
"Hn, like you're the one to talk." He growled - eyes, still flaming red.
"There's more -" the vampire continued.
"She said that you were madly in love with her, will protect her till' the end of time – and the best part was that you were going to be the father of her future children, - do you admit these statements of hers?"
For the first time in his long, long life, he felt something that went by the word – stunned.
She – she said that?
He could tell by his opponents' scent and brainwave patterns that he wasn't lying.
He was going to one, good conversation with Rin about this…..
After he sent this filthy vampire to hell….
The vampire was fast and powerful, but Sesshoumaru was even more so, he quickly seared his throat open with his poison-pooled left hand, and made that final blow with his Bakusaiga.
The next few minutes was a series of Wind Scars from Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga and green bolts from Sesshoumaru's Bakusaiga as they finished the remains of the pitiful vampires.
The sun had risen…..
Well people, it seems that I have lied to myself and to you readers' as well!
I will be making a prologue (I ALREADY have the prologue, I should say) for those who want to read the "Big 'nice' conversation" between Sesshy and Rin...
Oh, one more thing, every time I read and reread my ending, it keeps on getting funnier each time! I don't know if it's just my silliness but I hope you guys look forward to my 'funny' prologue! ;-)
