Chapter 4

Sesshomaru awoke the next morning with a beautiful maiden in his arms, Rin. They finally made love after all these years and now they were finally one. Sesshomaru knew he had someone to protect now, and if Naraku dared to hurt Rin; Naraku would be dead in an instant.

Rin nuzzled against Sesshomaru as she stretched, waking up from her slumber. She smiled up at Sesshomaru and he looked down at her. She tangled her fingers throughout his hair. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her forehead. As she got up to stretch, the blanket that covered her had fallen to the ground and Sesshomaru blushed.

"Why are you blushing?" She asked. "You saw me last night…" She chuckled.

Sesshomaru, who was never good at admitting his feelings, covered his mouth and turned his head away. The sight of Rin made him shudder; she was so beautiful and she was all his. She leaned down and giggled, giving him a kiss on the cheek. She reached for her kimono and draped it over her body.

"I'll be back…" She said, after dressing herself.

Sesshomaru sat up and looked at her, "Where are you going? It's not safe out there."

She kneeled down in front of him, "I need to wash up. I'll be back in five minutes." She gave him a kiss on the lips, "I promise."

Sesshomaru sighed and let her go. He too, got dressed, and summoned Jaken into the cave.

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked, while bowing repeatedly.

"Go watch over her." He demanded.

"But she's just a girl, Lord Sesshomaru. Why must I…?"

Sesshomaru turned around and glared at Jaken. His eyes began to glow red and his demon marks appeared on his face. Jaken immediately jumped back and raced out of the cave.

"Right away, Lord Sesshomaru!" He shouted.

Sesshomaru relaxed after Jaken vanished out of sight. At least now, I'll be able to tell if she's in danger. Sesshomaru thought as he left the cave. He walked over to the fire pit and used his demon powers to start a new fire. He then began to wait impatiently, and time began to slow down in his mind. What felt like thirty minutes had only been two minutes. He tapped his foot impatiently and sniffed the air.

Everything seemed all right, until Jaken came running up the hill.

"Lord Sessho…!" Jaken said; as he tripped over his own two feet.

Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder and saw that only Jaken had returned, and Rin was nowhere in sight. Sesshomaru immediately felt something was wrong; the wind blew a different direction then it normally was. He immediately unsheathed Tojikin and raced towards the lake.

"RIN!" He shouted, looking around the lake.

He didn't even see a pile of clothes anywhere, and he couldn't see Rin. Just before Sesshomaru dove into the water a purple miasma started to form in front of him.

"What have you done with Rin?" He growled, aiming his Tojikin towards the miasma.

"Nothing. Yet." Naraku said, as he emerged from the miasma.

Naraku moved to the side and revealed a trapped Rin behind Naraku. Rin saw Sesshomaru across the lake and called out to him. All he could do was look at her helplessly. She placed her hands on the barrier, and continued to stare at Sesshomaru.

"I warned you, Naraku…" Sesshomaru growled.

Sesshomaru began to change right in front of Naraku. His eyes glowed red, filled with hate, his fangs grew longer.

"Let her go!" Sesshomaru growled once more.

Naraku chuckled as his body grew as well, surrounding Rin. Rin screamed and looked left and right, Naraku was going to consume Rin.

"Sesshomaru!" Rin screamed.

Even with the barrier, Sesshomaru still heard Rin's plea for help. Sesshomaru growled louder and soon became a huge dog demon. His form was greater in size compared to Naraku's and his anger fueled his power. Rin saw the demon that once was Sesshomaru, she knew it was Sesshomaru; but this form terrified her. She had never seen this side of Sesshomaru before.

The dog demon jumped across the pond and attacked Naraku with full force. Once Sesshomaru had Naraku, Rin fell from the sky and into the lake. She came up, gasping for air and looking around. Behind her the enormous dog demon was destroying was used to be Naraku. Rin backed up away from what was happening and pulled herself on the shore across from the demon.

The dog demon had triumphed and won the battle against Naraku. The dog demon howled for a short while but soon returned to its old form, Sesshomaru. Rin was now hiding, she knew Sesshomaru was a demon but she had never seen him become that before. Sesshomaru jumped onto the other side of the lake and looked around for Rin.

"Rin…?" He asked outside of the trees.

He decided it would be best if Rin approached him, and not the other way around. Rin peered out from one of the trees and looked at Sesshomaru, he was covered in Naraku's blood.

"Come on out, sweetie. It's okay now." Sesshomaru whispered sitting down.

Rin slowly emerged from the trees and saw Sesshomaru sitting down. She slowly approached Sesshomaru, and he waited for her. Remaining in his spot, he opened his arms and continued to wait. Rin stood in her spot for a minute or two and began to cry.

"Sesshomaru…" She wailed as she fell into his arms.

He smiled and held her tight in his arm. She's all right. He thought to himself. He gave her kisses on her forehead and kept his grip on her, trying to assure her she was going to be all right. Rin continued to sob into Sesshomaru's chest, and all Sesshomaru could do was just hold her.
