You Are Everything
The shiro had been buzzing with activity the last few days. Yokai of all different species were taking up residence in the Shiro, in anticipation for the meeting with the new Inu No Taisho.
Sesshoumaru was trying to rebuild his father's army, and it wasn't going well. The yokai who served under his father were many and loyal soldiers but, Sesshoumaru was NOT his father and they weren't very impressed by him.
But, there was nothing to be done about it. Touga was long dead and Sesshoumaru was, by blood and station, the new Inu No Taisho. They had little choice but to follow him.
They could fight him. Mutiny seemed like a good option for some of them but, they were sceptical of their own power against Sesshoumaru's. His reputation was drenched in blood and death and rumor's of his intense power ran far and wide across the map.
He was sitting in the throne room, dim lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the heavy golden doors closed against the noise of what he hoped would soon be his new army.
Sesshoumaru took in a deep breath, closing his eyes. His hand resting beneath his chin, leaning against the arm of his chair. He didn't want to be there, didn't want to try and work with his father's allies. He really just wanted to take Rin and find an adventure in some far off land, far away from his father's Shiro and business.
On top of that, why would he even care about protecting his father's land? Stopping yokai clans from fighting with one another or laying devastation to petty human villages? Why should he care? He had his Rin and that's all he had ever really cared about. That and power. He had both and was quite content with that.
'Ugh... Foolish..'
Rin sat next to Sesshoumaru. He had ordered the Shiro servants to build a throne for her, and had them place it next to his. She had been watching him for some time, as she sat, mending a rip in Sesshoumaru's sash. He had told her not to fuss over it. "We have servants for such trivial tasks, Rin.." He had said, a look of mild bemusement on his face. He just didn't understand the girl sometimes.
"I want to fix it.." She insisted, refusing to give it back to him. She wanted so badly to be useful and was starting to feel really restless. Especially because Sesshoumaru had taken to simply staring at her the past few days. He seemed completely content to just watch her. For hours. She loved the attention, loved the adoring look in his eyes but, she needed something else to focus on.
She looked up from her patchwork, watching him. He looked really stressed, the muscle in his neck was bulging as he breathed in and out. She sighed, an adoring smile creeping upon her lips as she took him in. Nothing was more beautiful, in her eyes, than the Inu Daiyoukai before her.
She reached over, running her small human hand down his muscular bicep, down to his elbow and wrapped her fingers around his clawed hand.
Sesshoumaru's eyes opened as he sighed, meeting her concerned gaze with pools of honey, drowning in a strange mix of adoration and immense annoyance. He grabbed her hand, pulling it up to his face and nuzzling into her soft delicate skin.
his eyes closed briefly as he took in her scent. "I hate this.." He whispered, poison dripping off of each syllable. "I don't want to be here anymore." He added, raising his voice slightly, anger boiling up inside him.
Rin squeezed his hand gently. "I know. It's all over your face." She said gently. "We should get out of here" She added suddenly, slight excitement coming out as she spoke.
"Let's go on an adventure. You and I weren't meant for this kind of life." She said, standing up and handing him his now mended sash, looking good as new. She was tugging at his hand now, trying to persuade him to stand, a look of desperation on her face.
He looked at her, they were so much alike, he and Rin. Only moments before had he been thinking the same exact thing. But.. He sighed heavily. "We cannot, my love." He said grudgingly, giving her an apologetic smile.
She pouted at him, still tugging his hand. "But..." She started, but, was unable to finish her thought.
Sesshoumaru pulled her suddenly into his lap, mokumoku wrapping around Rin's back and pulling her into a deep embrace, their cheeks squished together and their bodies pressed tightly to one another.
Rin squeaked out in surprise but, as usual, did not fight against him. Even if she had wanted to escape his grasp, which she never would, she knew he was too strong for her. She'd never win.
Sesshoumaru chuckled softly at her surprise, running his clawed hands up her silk clad back, pulling her closer.
Rin's face flushed slightly at the sudden affection he was giving her. She loved being touched by Sesshoumaru and found herself anticipating it every second he was not touching her. But, she still wasn't used to it. He never ceased to surprise her.
He turned his head to look at her, stealing a chaste kiss. The feel of her lips on his sending a shock through his body, his inner yokai stirred for a moment and he took in a sharp breath, pushing it back down.
"We cannot leave. We have business to attend too." He stated simply, putting emphasis on the words WE. It was no longer just he. His problems. His worries. His business. The mate mark on Rin's shoulder was as good as a human marriage certificate. They were forever united now. His problems were now her's and vice vs.
She ran her hands up his chest, making little circles with her tiny fingers, slipping under his robes to his bare, muscular chest. The sudden skin to skin contact sending shivers down Sesshoumaru's spine. Earning her a low growl, much like a pur.
The very moment the scent of her arousal hit his senses there was a loud knock on the golden doors of the meeting room. Sesshoumaru growled out angrily, rumbling against Rin's body. She sighed heavily into him, rubbing his chest soothingly. "Calm down, koibito.. We'll get through this together, if you're nice, I'll make it worth your while later.." She said, a devilish grin crossing her features.
Sesshoumaru's face flushed slightly at her forwardness. He was still getting used to being with her and they had only been intimate a few times since his mark was placed and the idea was always an appealing one.
He sighed heavily, mokumoku releasing it's grip on the girl. Rin stepped down and reclaimed her seat next to him, placing a hand on his silk covered arm. She wasn't ready to stop touching him and decided to hold on for now.
He watched her for a moment. Eyes drunk with longing before turning his head to the golden doors. "Enter." He said, his voice echoed angrily through the room, making Rin wince. She wasn't used to hearing him this way, he had always tried to protect her from this side of him. But, now that they were together all the time, not to mention directly linked by the mate mark, there was little he could keep from her and he was really pissed their moment together had been interrupted.
She held her breath, squeezing his arm gently as the double doors swung open, a group of yokai filing in. All scowling, noses in the air.
They approached slowly, kneeling before Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru stared down at the men submitting before him and his eyes slitted for a moment as he considered them.
"Stand." He said, his voice echoing through the large room.
Standing at attention, much like an army, the group stared at him. Waiting.
Sesshoumaru adjusted himself, pulling his head up high, His eyes flashing red momentarily. "You are all in a agreeance then? I am to have your loyalty?" He demanded, his words venomous with impending anger. He did not want to be there, with these fools, in his father's Shiro... But, it couldn't be avoided, definitely not now.
"Hai." The group spoke in unison, bowing their heads low before him. "We follow only you, Inu No Taisho." They added, almost as one voice.
Sesshoumaru relaxed, the words Inu No Taisho playing in his head. He had to admit, he did like the sound of that title. But, being that he was unable to defeat his father before his death, it was a little hallow. He didn't feel like he'd truly earned it and it felt empty, half-hearted and he knew they were only bowing to him due to the fact that he was Toga's son and nothing more.
Anger started to build again as his thoughts threatened to take over. He did not want to be there, did not want to take his father's place. Not like this. Not out of obligation. He just wanted to be with Rin. Forever, and nothing more would satisfy him.
Rin caught this, his muscles were twitching under her hand. She squeezed, trying to soothe him, looking up at him, her eyes full of worry.
The scent of her stress brought him back to earth quickly, earning her a low irritated growl. He could not console her just yet. He would not show such weakness in front of his lessers. Rin would not be seen as his weak spot. 'A hard feat..' She let him go immediately, averting her eyes to the yokai bowing before them and sighed. 'Jerk...'
Sesshoumaru stood, towering over the lesser youkai before him. Out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Rin, fighting off the urge to wrap mokumoku around her in a tight embrace.
His eyes flashed red and his stripes went jagged in his anger. "Leave us. You will receive your orders soon enough." He spoke loudly, his words laced with authority as he stood over them, pushing his chest out. They acted immediately at the words of their Alpha, bowing again before turning and walking briskly from the room.
The heavy golden doors slammed shut behind them and the room grew quiet suddenly.
Sesshoumaru's whole body was tense as he stood there, quietly growling, staring the door down like it was his greatest enemy.
Rin watched him for a moment, weighing what she should do against her wants. She decided finally, standing quickly and walking up behind him.
Sesshoumaru was so lost in thought, growling growing louder the more he sat inside his own head. He didn't even sense the girl approach.
Rin placed a shaky hand on his lower back, rubbing small slow circles against the fine silk of his robes.
Sesshoumaru crashed back down to earth a little too quickly at Rin's touch. He turned on the spot, eyes red and grabbed her wrist.
Rin squeaked in surprise, eyes wide, fearfully looking into his glowing red ones. For a moment, he was no longer her Sesshoumaru. His inner yokai was battling against him, demanding to be released. She was only afraid for a moment and it was only because he surprised her. Never could she fear Sesshoumaru himself.
But, the scent of her fear ran through him like a wildfire. His eyes softened, back to their golden honey color as he blinked. He did not release her hand though. He simply stood there, staring the girl down, his massive poisonous, clawed grip tightening around her tiny human wrist.
"Rin.." He said her name, but, it was a question.
She regained herself quickly, looking back at him with loving adoring eyes. "My love, it is alright... You came back to me.." She answered, smiling reassuringly up at him.
He released her wrist to wrap his arms around her back instead, pulling her into a loving embrace. He buried his face in into her, nuzzling the crook of her neck as she wrapped her small arms around his neck, pulling herself closer into him.
"Well.. At least that part is over." She said softly, glad to be alone with him again.
Sesshoumaru breathed her in for a moment before retracting. Looking down at the girl with a deep longing. "Let us retire for the night." He said, a smirk playing at his lips. "Business exhausts me.." He added, stroking her slightly blushed cheek with a clawed digit.
He turned from her, mokumoku wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her along with him as he walked through the large golden doors.
The halls were empty, the yokai warriors had returned to their tents out on the grounds. Sesshoumaru's and Rin's footsteps echoed through the hall as they walked.
Rin was unconsciously running her fingers gently through mokumoku's fur, lightly caressing the muscle hidden beneath.
Sesshoumaru was watching her out of the corner of his eye, admiring her beauty, as usual. The feeling of her delicate little fingers running through his fur, he found, was very erotic. It sent chills down his spine and the beast inside him was soaking up the affection, roaring out at every touch.
He let out a loud appreciative growl as they reached his chambers, happy to finally be alone with her again. He'd been anticipating this moment all day, filling his entire being with an irrational amount of longing.
He slid his shoji shut roughly, turning to her, towering over her small, human frame and wrapped his strong arms around her waist, pulling her into a deep and passionate kiss.
Rin gasped in surprise. She loved his affection, couldn't get enough of it actually but, she also felt a little caught off guard each time. It just wasn't his typically nature to show love and affection. He was Sesshoumaru, after all.
She recovered from her shock rather quickly though, slipping her hands beneath his robes, caressing his bare chest as her tongue played with his.
Rin's arousal hit his yokai senses like a lightning bolt, his eyes flashing red for a moment.
Sesshoumaru regained control quickly, he was getting a lot better at controlling his inner beast. 'Must be the mark..'
He picked Rin up, wrapping mokumoku around and up her legs. Rin gasped at the sudden movement, but continued to kiss him, passion rising.
Sesshoumaru laid them down on his futon, simultaneously untying her obi and throwing it to the floor. Rin pulled his robes open and began placing soft, little kisses. Trailing her way to his neck. Her arousal raising rapidly.
"Sesshoumaru..." She whispered before biting down hard on the crook of his neck.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes for a moment. Hearing her whisper his name, pleading for him to take her. It was too much. A low, purring growl rumbled up between them.
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes once more and let out a sigh. Her teeth on his skin sending shivers down his spine and enticing him more.
He couldn't take it anymore. He'd waited all day for this, and he really needed to relieve the pain he was starting to experience from his swollen, aching member. He NEEDED to be inside her.
NOW...
He slid his clawed hands down the front of her robes and ripped them open ravenously. Rin gasped, releasing his neck from her mouth. She moved her arms downward, working along with him as he pulled her kimono down and off her completely.
Her breasts plopped down against his bare chest and he growled again. The feel of her naked body against his made him feel whole, powerful, like she was his drug, running through his veins, intoxicating him.
Rin pulled away from him, earning her an irritated growl. She chuckled, knowing full well he knew she wasn't afraid of him.
She gave him a seductive grin as she untied her fundoshi and through it aside, before Laying down on the futon, on all fours. She looked behind her shoulder with a smirk and wiggled her bare ass at him teasingly. "Take me koibito."
Sesshoumaru growled in pleasure. 'Koibito', The word ran through his head as he fought off the beast inside. His markings went jagged as he through his robes off, literally tearing his fundoshi off his body, shredding it completely, his rock hard member swaying slightly from its sudden release from the clothing.
He approached her slowly, trying to keep control of his inner yokai. He fell to his knees before her, the scent of her arousal wafting up at him, driving him insane. His clawed hands gripped her hips roughly.
He bent his head down, taking in a big wiff of her arousal for him before taking her whole womanhood into his mouth. Running his tongue up and down, sucking on that succulent little pleasure bud. Rin moaned in pleasure, gripping the sheets tightly.
He penetrated her with his tongue for a moment then sucked harshly, before pulling away, her juices dripping down his chin. He licked his lips as a low growl rumbled up his chest. "Oh Kami... Your taste is... It's the best damn thing I've ever tasted."
He stood on his knees, digging his claws into her hips. Rin moaned again, knowing full well the pleasures she was about to experience. Her body ached for him, needed his touch, needed him inside her.
He rubbed his throbbing member up against her pleasure bud before ramming into her opening.
Rin moaned out in surprised, she hadn't expected it so soon. But, her body welcomed him willingly all the same.
Sesshoumaru growled out as he felt her tight muscles clenching around his cock. He through his head back as he pushed himself down her tight, constricting tunnel as deep as he could go.
He stood there for a moment, looking down at the beautiful, erotic scene before him. His rock hard member deep inside his mates depths. Her ass cheeks clenched roughly in his large, clawed hands.
Sesshoumaru took a deep breath, another animalistic growl rumbling up as he did so. Vibrating from his chest down to her pleasure zone. Rin moaned out, clinging to the sheets in her small human hands.
Suddenly Sesshomaru beant down, covering her small, human body with his and wrapping both muscular arms around her. He pulled her up into his lap, both clawed hands groping roughly each of her breasts.
Rin was now in his lap, his rock hard member deep inside her. She gasped out at the sudden change of position, moaning loudly as he rammed deeper inside her.
Sesshoumaru growled as he sunk his fangs deep into her shoulder, remarking her as he started to thrust again.
Rin's moans grew louder with each thrust, Sesshoumaru's throbbing member beating ravenously against her inner pleasure muscle. She leaned into his body, submitting herself fully to the physical pleasure he offered her.
She reached her arms above her head, wrapping her small hands around his neck, digging her nails into his skin as she moaned out for him.
Sesshoumaru growled ferally at the feel of his tearing flesh beneath her tiny human nails and pounded harder and faster into her.
Suddenly, Rin arched her back, moaning out loudly, digging her nails deeper into his neck. The walls of her womanhood clenched and pulsated around his deeply pounding erection as she climaxed.
"Oh.. Sess..shoumaru.." She breathed out, releasing the hold she had on his neck, her body starting to give out in exhaustion.
The scent and feel of Rin's orgasim sent a surge through Sesshoumaru's body, like a lightning bolt. He sped up, tightening his grip on her breasts painfully as he pounded harder and faster.
A few seconds later, he too climaxed, filling her womb with his hot flowing seed. He released her neck, blood dripping down her back and onto his chest. He through his head back as he howled out like the feral dog he truly was.
They sat there for a moment, still connected, panting together. Sesshoumaru released the death grip on her breasts and wrapped his arms possessively around her stomach as she lapped at her reopened mate mark, healing the wound as he did so.
After he was sure she was fully healed, and only after, he lowered them to their sides on the futon, pulling himself out from her depths. He wrapped his strong arms around her tightly, lovingly embracing his tiny human as he nuzzled into her mate mark.
"Riiinn.." He growled into her. Finally content. Finally fulfilled once more. What he'd been waiting for all day. All the annoyances of the day washed away like sand on a beach.
"Sesshoumaru." Rin spoke, wriggling from his grasp to turn and face him, earning her a low irritated growl. She smirked at this as she wrapped one of her legs around his hip, looking into those golden pools of honey with her onyx ones. Full of intent. She placed a small hand on his cheek, gently caressing his stripes.
Rin's face suddenly went slightly pink and she looked away, earning her another growl. She giggled. "Sesshoumaru, my love, you do not intimidate me. I don't know why you try so.." She cooed but, did not return her gaze to his.
"I.. There is something that I want.." She stated quietly, not sure how to ask or how he would respond.
Sesshoumaru found her demeanor odd. But, of course, what ever this tiny, beautiful, human woman wanted, it was hers. She need only ask. But, she seemed so uncharacteristically hesitant, and her scent had changed. She was uneasy, almost fearful of his refusal.
Sesshoumaru looked at her puzzled. He was usually so sure of her wants and needs and her thoughts. They were, after all, directly linked by the mate mark. But, more than that, he knew her so well even without it.
He gripped her chin firmly with a clawed hand, forcing her gaze back to his. Those pools of honey trapping her in their hot, sticky ooze. "Rin.." He commanded, followed by a low, rumbling growl.
Rin sighed, she couldn't ignore him when he so directly commanded her like that. It did irritate her though, how dare he commanded her to do anything.
"I.." She said, nearly looking away again. She mustered up all the courage her tiny human body held within. "I would like.. To.." She sighed again, this was much easier when she practiced it in her head.
"Rin, just tell me. Whatever it is, I assure you, it is within my grasp." Sesshoumaru said, an air of confidence about his words. He was Sesshoumaru, Inu No Taisho or the Western lands, and whatever it was his mate wanted, she would have, simple as that.
Rin sighed again and her face flushed with embarrassment. Her scent sent his mind into a frenzy, had she tired of him? Did she no longer wish to be his mate? 'Well.. Too bad, it was done.. She'd just have to make due..'
"I wanttohavea baby..." She blurted out, looking away from him again, face completely crimson. "No.. I.. I NEED to have a baby.. My body aches from the need.." She added, burying her face into his chest to hide from his gaze, completely beside herself with embarrassment at this point.
Sesshoumaru outwardly laughed. Shaking them both as he wrapped his arms tightly around her, pulling her in closer. "Oh, is that all?" He asked. "Well, that's a relief." He added. "You can't scare me like that Rin.. You have no idea the things that were going through my mind.."
Rin pushed away from him, looking up at him, her face full of rage. "Do not laugh at me!" She said. If she were anyone else he would've been outraged but, looking down into his tiny human's angry face, all he could do was chuckle. "I can't help it... You can be so silly sometimes." He said, pulling her strengthless, little body back into his embrace.
"Pup's will come, Rin, don't you worry." He added soothingly. "And that's definitely nothing to be embarrassed about. It is only natural for female mates to yearn for offspring." He added, rubbing the small of her back soothingly. "Pups will come.."
Rin relaxed at his words, she had been worried that Sesshoumaru just wasn't the fatherly type. That the idea of "pups" would be ludicrous in his eyes. 'Must be the mark..' She thought privately. Rin nuzzled into his chest, kissing his skin softly. "I'm so relieved." She breathed into his chest. "I was... I thought.."
Sesshoumaru squeezed her into him into a possessive embrace. "Rin.. You are my mate. Of course I want a brood with you." He said quietly into her hair.
"But..." She said, hesitant to say what her real fear was. Knowing that the scent of her fear had already reached his yokai senses, she needed to get this out in the open. "They won't be Inu Daiyoukai... They'll... Our pup's will be hanyou.." She said, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Realization of this hit Sesshoumaru hard. He hadn't even considered, he hadn't cared at all to even think about it. Anything connected to Rin in anyway would be golden in his eyes. He sat quietly for a while, contemplating this new realization.
He sighed heavily into her hair, breathing in her scent, calming him. "Rin. Any pup that comes from your body, hanyou or otherwise, will be cherished and well taken care of by this Sesshoumaru." He whispered, knowing full well the inner sacrifice he was making for this tiny, beautiful human. "And I can't wait to meet them, and raise them, and teach them." He added, kissing the top of her head.
Rin looked up at him, tears streaming down her perfect cheeks. "I love you so much." She said, kissing him deeply on the lips.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly but, he kissed back, passion rising quickly in him. He broke away from her quickly, pushing down his inner yokai. "There are no words in existence to describe the love that I feel for you, Rin. You are everything, the sun, the moon, the stars, the very blood that runs through my veins. You are everything."
