Chapter 36
As much as the great lord of the west had wished to try to get some sleep, he could not find it in him to sleep when he knew that he had to get her to understand just how important she was to him, of his life, to the pact, to the lands of the west. While many would not be happy at his choice and while others would wish for him to take the Inu pup that had been defeated by his mate, he did not care. For once in his live he would do something for himself and he would ignore his obligations and his responsibilities to his people. It was while he was thinking and while he was trying to clear his head that he found himself in the wing that had been set aside for Rin long before she had left the pack. 'Long before she became a dragoness.'
Just as he had let out an annoyed filled growl and after he had convinced himself that it would be best to wait and to speak with her in the morning, Sesshomaru stormed into Rin's room and filled it with his aura and poison as soon as he had heard her screams of fear and pain. His eyes were red and the only things that kept him from turning to his true demonic form was the fact that he could possibly harm her as he took a part of the castle apart in his true state. When he had found no danger in her room, the lord of the west turned to face the dragoness to ask her what it was that had scared her only to find and take note that she was asleep and still withering in pain. As he got closer to the sleeping girl he could hear her whispers begging her to find her, to save her.
The scent that surrounded her was one of pain, sorrow and sadness and it drove his demon mad that she was having such nightmare. He knew that these nightmares could only be from the time she spent in the east since she had never had nightmares during or after the filth that was Naraku had been destroyed. However it wasn't until he had reached her side that he took note of the glow in her scales where she had hidden her weapon just hours earlier began to glow and burn her skin away. Not caring if it would reject him or that it could harm him, Sesshomaru reached over and pulled her weapon free from her.
As soon as the weapon was pulled free from her, Rin shot up from the futon that she had been sleeping in and had thrown the lord of the west across the room. Her eyes were crazed, her body filled with her power, and her claws and fangs at full length all the effects from the nightmare she had seen and been trapped in. Sesshomaru had quickly stood up and looked at the crazed dragoness and said, "It's alright Rin, you are safe, you are in the West, you are with me and nothing will ever harm you again."
"Dark, it hurt, gods it hurt…why…why did this have to happen?" Rin whispered over and over as she continued to look about the room while throwing the lord of the west from her side as he kept attempting to reach her side.
"What the hell is going on here?" Inuyasha growled out as he and Kagome had finally reached the room where his daughter had been left in.
"She was having a nightmare and woke up this way. I can't seem to calm her down. I need to get that damn weapon away from her." Sesshomaru explained before jumping at Rin to try to get the weapon out of her hand.
"Why is the weapon doing this? What was it made out of?" Kagome asked in a worried filled voice as she pulled her own weapon out.
"I have no idea." Inuyasha growled out in an annoyed filled voice, "But we are going to help Anki."
"It hurt so much…god it hurt Oka-san…Oka-san help me." Rin screamed out in pure pain and panic as she finally lost it and jumped out of the window.
The guards that had been watching the privet area of the castle had been surprised and knocked out as quickly as they had been surprised by the dragoness as she ran past them and toward the forest. Never once looking back to see if his brother and sister were following him and Rin, Sesshomaru raced after his panicked mate in hopes of calming her soon. After she was calmed and after she had gotten the rest she truly needed, Sesshomaru would get his answer either from Rin or from the rulers of the East themselves. 'If they caused her any pain or harm they will regret it,' were the enraged lord's thoughts as he ran after his soon to be mate.
All she could think about was the pain from that damned door, all she could see were the faces of all of those that had cared for her in different lives and the only thing that she knew was that she had to get away before she was caught again. She had to make sure that she wasn't caught again or she would be forced to become the mate of a male she did not love. Just as she had reached a clearing in the forest she began to look around and tried to find her way back home.
'I need to get home…home…where is home…where am I…Sesshomaru…Lord Sesshomaru.'
The dragoness began to panic when she realized that she was alone and that she had nowhere to go. Just as she was about to transform into her true state she was tackled down and pined to the forest floor. She instantly began to kick, scream and growl as she struggled to break free of the demon that held her but no matter how much she tried she could not break free. Just as she was about to blast the demon that had dared to try to claim her as his she froze in place at the feel of fangs at her bare neck. If she continued to struggle he would price her flesh and after that she would be his, forever his as his bite would tie her to him. As tears began to run down the side of her face, Rin shut her eyes closed and wished to the havens above and to the shinigami that had…had…wait she was already changed, she was in the west…and suddenly everything came crashing back to her.
Just as Kagome and Inuyasha had cleared the forest and found Sesshomaru pinning down their daughter, they were kept from attacking their brother when they heard her broken whispered voice say, "Is it…is it…am I…where…here…"
"You are here in the west, with this Sesshomaru and nothing will ever harm you again." The enraged Inu demon growled out as he kept his fangs at her exposed neck. While he was glad that she was slowly calming and realizing that it had all been a nightmare, he struggled with his own instincts as they roared for him to claim her as his.
Just as Kagome was about to walk forward and reassure her daughter that she truly was in the west and that she was with her family again, Inuyasha pulled her back and shook his head as he pointed out their intertwining auras. Realizing what he had taken note of, Kagome nodded her head and turned to leave hoping that her brother would be able to calm her before he marked her as his mate.
"I don't…I can't go back…" she whispered in a weak voice that reminded him so much of the ward he had slowly come to care for.
"I won't allow it…you belong at my side," Sesshomaru growled out as he couldn't help but to add pressure with his fangs to her neck.
As her mind cleared and as her heart raced, Rin locked eyes with her Lord, the man she had come to love since she could remember and took note of the lust, the desire, the love, and the anger in his eyes. At first she had no idea why he was so angry but as she thought about what she had been saying she realized that he now knew that her stay in the East had not been a pleasant one. After letting out a long sigh, Rin turned her face away from his own which only fueled his lust since she had unknowingly shown her submission to him.
"My Lord have I upset you?" Rin whispered as she tried to turn to look at him only to freeze at the feel of his lips and tongue on the skin on her neck.
"Sesshomaru…call me Sesshomaru…you are my equal now Rin, surly you must know this." He growled out as he continued to lick, nip, and suck on the area where he would leave his mark and forever bind her to him.
The control of the Lord of the West was almost completely lost and while he had no problems with claiming what was his, he knew that this should not be the way in which he should claim her. He needed her to understand that he loved her that he cared for her, that he would always think of her first and for most, even above the people of the west. While a part of her was glad that he saw her in such a way, her demonic instincts began to roar at her to fight, to make him prove that he would be a worthy mate, that he would not be weaker than she.
'I can't…I can't turn him away.' Rin thought as she roared back at her demonic side that she would not turn him away now. Not when it was certain if she was caught before he proved himself she would be forced unto another. Not when she knew this was what she would always want and would always see in her future.
"Clai…claim me…mark me…" Rin whispered out in a husky voice was she bared her neck so that he could sink his fangs into her.
"In due time Rin…you will be mine but I will prove to you that no other could ever be my equal but you." Sesshomaru growled out as he slowly pulled away from him.
She was so close, she would not let this go, she would not let him go. She nearly lost him once because of what she was and how the spell worked. Almost didn't remember her mate and would never have had she not been buried with the blessed weapon that had been given to her by her miko mother. Before he could completely pull away from her, Rin pulled him down toward her and in the second before she slammed her lips over his she had sliced her lips open with her enlarged fangs and allowed her blood to flow into him. While the Inu clan required a mark, her kind only needed a blood exchange given of each person involved. 'MINE!' was all she could think of when she looked into his eyes.
At the taste of her blood in his mouth, the feel of her body as she pressed herself against him broke all the control he had had left, all at once his hands roamed her body as she began to shred off the armor and clothing that he had been wearing in his own privet room. As his hand moved to find and touch her core, she arched her back and leaned into his touch as she growled out in need and want for him. This was not something that could be undone now, and it was something that he needed to be sure she longed for as much as he did before he let go of the very little control he still seemed to have.
"Rin…this is forever, there will be no one else, do you wish this?"
"I want you, I'll always want you my…my mate." Rin growled out in need as she finished removing the top layer of his kimono.
(A/N: Lemon Warning, skip to next chapter if you do not want to read this.)
Needing to hear nothing else from her, Sesshomaru released the last of his control and devoured her lips as he used his poison to remove the little bit of cloth that had been wrapped around her while she had slept. Rin growled in pleasure and need as he continued to rub her clit while taking her right breast into his mouth.
As he began to pump his fingers in and out of her at a much faster rate, Rin growled in anger and began to use her claws on the rest of her mates clothing so that she could free him of it and so that she would be able to taste him and feel him in her hands. As soon as she had done so she had gripped him and smiled at the low, lust filled growl he had let out at the feel of her small hands around his manhood.
As she worked him and enjoyed the soft yet hard feel of his manhood, Rin growled out in want and before he could even try to get her to reach her peak first, the lust filled dragoness flipped them over and slammed her lips against his as she teased his manhood with her wet and ready core as she rubbed herself against his length. After pulling away from his lips for much needed air, the young dragoness locked her lust filled eyes with her mate and growled out, "You have my blood flowing through you, I'm sure you can feel it burning through your veins. Tell me my love…will you take me knowing that I will take you as well?"
"Forever," he growled out in lust as he tried to flip her over, "you are MINE just as I will be yours my mate."
Needing him to say nothing else, Rin grinned down at the male underneath her and at the same moment that she had filled herself with his manhood, Rin had leaned down and sunk her fangs into his neck as she drew his blood into her mouth. He would have to drink a bit more from her so that her currents would always be with him to protect what was hers. Just as she had been about to pull back, Rin growled in pleasure as her mate flipped them over and began to thrust into her. With each thrust she growled in pleasure and ran her claws down his back as she locked her legs around his waist.
"You are mine…" Sesshomaru growled out in pleasure as he dug his poison filled claws into her hips.
"I am yours." She breathed in a husky voice while she began to move her hips to match each of his thrusts.
He could feel the walls of her sex clenched down on his manhood. Could feel as she began to tighten as she neared her climax and it was something that he would look forward to feel again. As he needed his own release, Sesshomaru completely pulled out of her and before she could growl out in anger and demand that he fill her once more, he had placed heron her hands and knees as his instincts demanded that he should have her for the first time. Rin screamed at the fullness and the deepness of each of his new thrust into her again and began to move her hips as fast as she could as she quickly began to reach her peak once more.
"Mine," Sesshomaru whispered just before he had leaned down and dug his fangs into her neck as he reached his release, which was only triggered by the orgasm that his mate had reached just seconds before he had marked her as his.
Power filled the air and the clearing was silent as the two new mated pair struggled to catch their breath once more. Before Rin could drop down on to her stomach since her arms were unable to hold her up, she smiled in thanks at her mate when she found herself lying on top of her mate instead of lying face down on the forest floor. Once she had caught enough of her breath, Rin glanced up at her mate and whispered, "You will have to come with me to the East. I left without anyone's knowing…the dragon that attack the village…he was chosen by the king of the east to become my mate. I need to announce that I have already taken a mate and that I will be leaving the East again."
"We will travel with the pack. My, our mother will tend to things while we are gone." He promised her as he brushed her hair gently with his claws.
"They will not be happy…"
"It matters not to this Sesshomaru so long as they do nothing to try to harm you."
"There is…I should have told you this before you chose me but I could not wait, could not bear the thought of losing you for a second time."
"You never lost me and whatever it may be you have nothing to worry about." Sesshomaru promised her in a gentle voice as he wrapped his tail around her so that he could cover her as best as he could.
With a smile on her face, Rin cupped her mates face in the palm of her hand and whispered, "I am glad to hear however it is something that you must know but have to keep secret. Kagome-Oka-san and Inuyasha-Otu-san can be the only other two of the pack that can know my secret. It is not something that many can know."
"Um…I suppose I could go for them but I would much rather stay by your side." Sesshomaru growled out as he tightened his hold on her.
"I do not wish to go anywhere without you." Rin promised as she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck only to pause as the new markings that began to appear at the side of his neck.
Sensing that he no longer had her attention, Sesshomaru looked down at his mate and took note that her focus was on his neck. As he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, Sesshomaru let out a low growl that resembled a purr and asked, "What is it?"
"I thought only the females received a mark." Rin answered in a mumbled filled voice as she took notice of the silver, blue colors of the scale like marks at her mate's neck. 'I suppose it could be the mark that shows my power that protects him from those that would do him harm.'
With a grin on his face, Sesshomaru let out a long sigh and explained, "Usually yes however when true soul mates have found one another a mark is left on each of them. It is to ensure that in their lives to come they will be together again and from each life hence forth. Should my life end so will yours so that you will meet me in my next life as equals once more."
"Your father…he lived on after the death of Inuyasha-sama's mother's death…why?"
"He had matters to tend to before he could reach her. Her soul realized that he had to ensure that their child, my brother, would be looked after and that nothing too strong would be around that could kill me since I would be the one to primarily take care of him."
"I see…" Rin whispered as she closed her eyes and began to kiss and nip at his chest.
After a moment of enjoying her touch, Sesshomaru let out a low growl and said, "You best not start something that you have no intention finishing."
With a wicked grin on her face, Rin locked eyes with her mate as she sat up in his lap to rub herself against his growing manhood and whispered, "What if I had no intention of stopping and did plan on finishing what I started…love?"
