A New Leaf

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. I hope that everyone enjoys this chapter.

Chapter 10

Chaos. Battle cries and the sounds of the dying surrounded Lord Sesshomaru as he arrives at the scene of the battle. Midori had grown far too bold. He almost couldn't believe her audacity, really.

"The woman is flirting with insanity." She actually had the gall to attack a village this close to his lands and that was only one of her offenses.

Midori had even gone so far to insult Kagura and she had attacked Rin. The Wind Sorceress was now a citizen of the West and a guest at his castle and Rin was his ward.

Both incidents were unforgivable in their own right, but now the demoness was attacking in the very heart of his territory and for that she would pay the ultimate price. Lady Midori would pay with her life.

Blood. There was blood everywhere. "TAKE THIS!" The formerly green fields were now stained red with it as more battle cries rang out.

There was also smoke. "Disgusting." Lord Sesshomaru nearly chokes on the scent of it and all the blood. The vile stench would have sunken lesser beings to their knees, but not him.

No. He was a Demon Lord and he was here to protect his territory. He was here to kill Lady Midori.

"So good of you to join us." He hears an all too familiar voice behind him. "I was so hoping that you would get the invitation."

Sesshomaru's lips curl back in a snarl as he whirls around to face her. "You dare to insult my people, attack my ward, and to defile my lands with your psychotic crusade. For these offenses, I shall send you straight to Hell." Today, Midori would breathe her last.

"Your ward got in a lucky shot, but that won't happen again." Sesshomaru notices the woman was wearing an eye patch. "I had hoped that you would be an ally. I know that you share my distaste for humans. Why she proves to be the exception, I'll never know."

Of course, she couldn't know. Midori didn't understand concepts like loyalty. Sesshomaru scoffed at Rin's kindness when he first met her, but the human had shown more loyalty towards him than almost anyone else.

The only exceptions were Jaken and his own mother. Certainly, his father hadn't been loyal to him. He had thrown his life away for his Human Mate and for Inuyasha.

"You'd never understand." He comes flying at her with his claws and whip bared. "So why should I explain the affairs of demons to a vile insect such as yourself?" It would be pointless to do so.


The war was starting and Sasuke had to get Rin to safety while Kagura and Inukimi commenced their plotting. Leave those two to their schemes, Sasuke thought to himself. He had to keep Rin safe.

"This is where Lord Sesshomaru says that I should go, if the castle is ever under attack." And thankfully, it appeared that the young woman knew where to go in a situation like this.

It seemed like he had been following her down one hallway or staircase forever, but Sasuke knew the truth. It had likely only been a few minutes. A few minutes until Rin showed him a painting and pushed it aside. She presses on the stones behind the painting and the camouflaged door parts to reveal a secret room.

That was quite clever. "I can see why." It was highly unlikely that Midori would think to check behind the a painting for a secret room, Sasuke thinks to himself as he follows Rin inside.

He quickly pulls the painting back over the opening and shuts the door behind them. "Yes. This place has everything we need to survive a siege." Yeah. Sasuke could see that.

There were two beds and he could see a lavatory. Not only that, there was a hole in the wall that was filtering water into a basin. It must have been connected to a stream and putting the boulder in front of it would block the water.

"Do you like it?" She smiles at him.

There were even small beds of earth and plants on the sides. Inside gardens. Probably to grow food, if they ran out. Which he saw there were was actually plenty of food stashed away and a fireplace as well.

The window seemed to be designed to let in just enough light to keep the garden healthy. Though Sasuke got the impression that they could see outside, but no one could see inside.

"It's perfect." He smiles at her.

Perfect. Just like her. The thought came unbidden, but the last Uchiha couldn't erase it once he thought it. The whim struck too true for him to do so and he found on some level, that he didn't want to erase it.

Rin smiles at him. "Good." She lays on the bed. "We'll just wait here until Lord Sesshomaru fixes everything."

She really shouldn't lay on the bed like that. The woman was taunting him and apparently completely unaware of that fact.

"Yes." He nods. "We'll do that. "Though her faith in her Lord was rather touching, Sasuke notes.

What would it be like to trust someone that much? It had been so long since he had been able to do that, that Sasuke had nearly forgotten what that felt like. The only people he trusted to that degree really were Naruto and maybe Jugo. That was just sad. It was probably time to change that.


The battle rages for hours and with every passing moment, Kagura grew more and more restless. It certainly didn't help matters that she was assisting Lady Inukimi in her various battle preparations.

"It's gone on too long." Kagura looks at her with wary eyes.

The Inu Lady was obviously less than pleased by her insinuation, but it needed to be said. It was taking too long. Sesshomaru might be in trouble. Big trouble.

Still, the other woman waves off her concern. "My son is likely toying with them." She rolls her eyes at the implication that Lord Sesshomaru might be in danger. "He will be back soon. Probably with her head upon a pike."

That would be very nice. The Wind Sorceress could only hope that would indeed be the case. If it wasn't, well that possibilities were just too horrific to think about. What would the West be like, without a Lord to rule it?

"Yes, that must be it." She nods.

Madness. Madness would descend upon the land or worse, Lady Midori would take over. The woman would lead them all to destruction on her crusade.

While Kagura could understand her logic in theory, in practice it would lead to nothing but blood. The rivers wouldn't flow with water. They would flow with another liquid entirely, if that woman got her way.

Which was why it couldn't be allowed. "Exactly." They had to stop her. "Now, go and check on the troops." Inukimi gives her a stern look.

"Very well." Kagura knew when she was being dismissed and quite frankly, she was rather happy to get away from the Inu Demoness.

The woman was so ice that she made a glacier look downright warm. Kagura hadn't any idea how Sesshomaru had managed to survive his childhood with his sanity intact, but he had. She supposed it was true. What didn't kill you, did make you stronger. That certainly explained a lot about Sesshomaru.


Rin wasn't really sure how it happened. She had asked for Sasuke to lay next to her for comfort and now, they were kissing.

Kissing in a way that would have shocked her Lord. This was no innocent and chaste kiss. No, this was one of passion and one that involved tongue. Rin hadn't even known that people could use their tongues while kissing, but apparently they could.

"He'll be back soon." Sasuke murmurs between heated kisses.

His tongue was now exploring every corner of her mouth and it felt so good. "I know he will." It was a rather pleasant distraction from the madness that was surely enveloping their land as they spoke.

"Good." Sasuke smiles as hovers over her and deepens the kiss. "Don't worry about anything."

It was easy to concentrate on the warmth of his skin against her own and the taste of his kiss. Rin could ignore at least for a few moments, what was going on. Lord Sesshomaru would be alright because he had to be and so would she. So would Sasuke and everyone else they cared about.

"I'll try not to." Rin blushes as she looks up at his mismatched, but stunning eyes.

One was red like a ruby and the other was an ethereal shade of lavender with spirals. She had never seen anything like it, but the red eye also had black markings on it. Both were mesmerizing. It was so easy to get lost in their depths.

Sasuke smiles at that and breaks the kiss to kiss along her jaw and then over her neck. "Good. I don't think that I'm ever going to be able to go back to the Leaf." The kissing felt good. "And that might be for the best, because I believe I found my new home." His words felt even better though. "With you."

Warning Lemon

She smiles at that and kisses him. Maybe, the sword practice would come in handy, after all. With that thought in mind, Rin quickly tugs off his shirt and marvels at the ivory white muscles that were now on full display.

He had definitely been some kind of warrior in the Leaf. That much was for certain and Sasuke didn't seem to mind her disrobing him. So Rin runs her hands over his powerful best and revels in the strength she felt underneath her fingertips.

She was more built for speed and agility than power. "I'm glad." Sasuke was built for all three. "Because I don't want you to go." The young woman smiles at him shyly.

"Good because I don't think I really want to go anymore." He reaches for the sash of her kimono and slowly slides it off of her. "I'll miss some of my friends back home, but it's better here." His heated gaze makes her blush. "Because you're here."

She was here and beautiful. He could see her toned stomach now and the bandages that served as a bra in this strange place. Which he naturally tugs off as quickly as possible. Breasts like that really shouldn't be covered. Not in private anyway.

Rin blushes deeply at that and Sasuke smiles, kissing her more as he slides off her kimono top from her shoulders and allows it to pool at her waist for a moment. Now, he could understand why Kakashi read those damn books so much. If he was imagining someone like Rin, Sasuke could understand his former instructor's love of erotic literature now.

"You don't need to blush. You're beautiful" He nips her ear playfully as he yanks off his pants and boxers quickly.

Rin laughs and blushes more as she wiggles out of the rest of her undergarments. "So are you." Alright, beautiful wasn't exactly what Sasuke was going for. He'd take it though because he knew what Rin meant.

"Is there anything that you want to try?" This was likely her first time.

Sasuke couldn't imagine that Rin had been able to sneak a lover past Lord Sesshomaru. "I want you to touch and kiss me all over." That would be impossible, he thinks to himself only to be interrupted by Rin's answer.

It was so innocent and yet erotic at the same time. Just like the woman who gave it. "I can definitely do that." Sasuke smirks as he lays on his back and pulls Rin on top of him."

First, he kisses her neck and shoulders. "Mmm good." Eliciting delightful little sighs and mews of pleasure from his new lover. "T-That feels nice." Yes, it did.

After that Sasuke moved down a little further. He flicks her nipples with his tongue and kisses them. Kisses them before taking them into his mouth. "S-Sasuke!" Making her cry out in a way that had all his blood rushing south.

Hot. His mouth felt so hot wrapped around her breast, but it felt so good. Rin squirms at the sensation. She knew she was being wanton by crying out like that, but she didn't care.

"So sweet." Sasuke nibbles lightly on her nipple. "The way you call out for me. It's sweet." While caressing her other breast and Rin puts her courage to the test by gliding her hands over his chest.

Powerful. He was definitely strong, Rin observes as her hands trace over the muscular plans of his chest and she leaves a trail of scattered kisses along him.

Sasuke sighs in pleasure at the attention and switches to her other breast. She was so soft and warm. It was strange. There was something equal parts soothing and thrilling about touching her in this way.

He smirks at that though as he moves down and kisses her stomach. "S-Sasuke!" Rin was now giggling and even shyly stroking him.

Her hand was soft, warm, and small. Decidedly at odds with his own hand, save for temperature. "P-Perfect." Maybe, that was why it felt so much better than his own administrations had in the past. "Just like that."

Rin smiles rather pleased at this reaction as she strokes him faster. She had no idea what was coming next. That's why she screams in bliss when she felt him kiss her. Kiss her in her most intimate place. That place between her thighs.

Sasuke had moved her further up and she was now hovering above his face. "Definitely sweet." She had to let go of his cock when he moved her, but Rin didn't mind that too much.

How could she protest this? This felt too incredible to protest. She felt so wet. "Nhh!" It was all she could do not to scream more.

Sasuke smirks at her reaction and rubs her clit while licking her harder and faster. She was definitely sensitive. Though that was only to be expected. Rin was so damn pure that he would have been surprised, if she wasn't.

Wet and sweet. He normally didn't like sweet things, but for her he could make an exception. He especially love the way her midnigth black hair cascaded down her back and over the valley of her ample breasts as she arches against him in pleasure.

"Don't hold back." His voice was husky with lust. "Let yourself feel good." With desire for the sweet angel with a body that would drive anyone to sin who was writhing against him so wonderfully.

Rin doubted she could hold back. His fingers were inside her and Sasuke was still making love to her with his mouth. She leans back slightly and mages to reach for him. She was just able to stroke the top of his arousal.

"S-Sasuke!" Each brush of his tongue sent her climbing ever higher as she tries to touch him back. "Feels so good!" Despite to make him feel at least some of what she was feeling, but it was like a damn had burst.

Her release hit her like a tidal wave and Sasuke pulls his fingers out of her. Before she knew what was really happening, he had moved her further down. She was now straddling his waist.

"You can set the pace." Rin hears him say, despite the fact her heart was pounding and she was still drowning in ecstasy. "It will hurt at first because you're an innocent, but after that, it will feel much better."

He hated that it would hurt her, but that was unavoidable. Sasuke was hoping that the fact he had already brought her to climax would lessen the initial pain, but he couldn't be sure of that. This was also his first time.

Rin blushes as she kisses him. "Alright." Before she slowly slides onto him.

He saw her wince of discomfort, but any sounds of it were swallowed up by the kiss. Sasuke decides to distract her from the pain by rubbing her clit with one hand and her breasts with the other.

"Relax." He whispers between kisses. "The hard part is over now."

Rin nods at that as she returns his kiss and slowly moves, causing him to groan. Hot, wet, and tight. They fit together perfectly. Like Yin and Yang.

He was so big. She could feel every inch of him buried deep inside her and his hands all over her. Over her breasts and over her womanhood. Making her feel good enough that the pain began to fade into the background until at last it disappeared all together.

"You can move now." She blushes as she nips his neck playfully. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Sasuke nods as he begins to slide in and out of her. It took a moment, but Rin soon realized that they were both supposed to move. So she bounces up and down the length of his cock and moans.

Whenever she did that, it felt good. "R-Rin!" And hearing him cry out her name like that was even better.

The two were now moving as one. Everything was so intense. From the desire smoldering in his ears to his heated kisses and more. The feeling of being joined together was indescribable.

Apparently, the bed thought so as well because it began to shake underneath the force of their lovemaking. Neither of them cared though. They only had eyes for each other.

"S-Sasuke!" She was moving faster and faster.

Rin was a vision like that when she was riding him so beautifully. Her hair and breasts bouncing with every movement. The warmth of her skin against his own and the taste of her kiss combined with the way the paradise between her thighs caressed his cock was almost too much. It was almost too good.

He didn't know that his body was capable of feeling this way. Eager to get more of this addictive feeling, Sasuke moves faster and faster. Each thrust making him groan and his lover scream in pleasure as he squeezes her backside and the bed shakes underneath them.

"If the bed breaks, I'm not stopping." He pulls her for a heated kiss. "If it comes down to it, I'll take you on the floor." And he meant it.

Rin blushes and moans as his both loving and lewd words as she rocks against him eagerly. "Good b-because I don't want you to stop." She'd probably smack him, if he did.

She was close to something wonderful. That feeling that Rin had when Sasuke had kissed her so intimately was back. She was close. So very close.

"Together." Sasuke growls at her between the heated kisses as he claims her faster and faster.

He was so close. It only took one final powerful thrust to send them both over the edge. Both of them ended up crying out each other's name as they climaxed together as if they were indeed one entity in two different bodies.

It took several minutes for Sasuke to come down from the high that accompanied his orgasm, but he eventually did. Once he was slightly coherent again, the Uchiha slides out of his new lover and wraps his arms protectively around Rin, after covering them with the blankets. After all, it wouldn't do to have Sesshomaru or someone walk in on them like this after the battle and seeing them in their current state of undress.

End of Lemon

Rin smiles as she cuddles into her lover. "That was wonderful." Sesshomaru likely wouldn't be to happy that she had given away her innocence, but that was alright.

He liked Sasuke. Well as much as Sesshomaru liked anyone and the Demon Lord had been urging her to find a husband for a long time. They weren't married and Sasuke hadn't proposed, but Sasuke had said he was going to stay and right now that was good enough for Rin.

"Yes, it was." Sasuke smiles at her as he cradles her in his arms.

Despite everything that was going on, Rin felt safe in that moment. Nothing could hurt her or them. No one could hurt them. Not even Lady Midori.

Rin smiles as she burrows against him. Seeking more of his warmth. "I love you." It might have been too soon to say that, but she knew that she did.

"I love you too." Sasuke kisses the top of her head. "We'll figure out a way to deal with the witch and then everything can go back to normal." He pauses and adds. "Assuming that Lord Sesshomaru doesn't try to kill me for deflowering you."

She wouldn't let that happen. Rin loved him too much to let that happen. "He wouldn't kill you." She smiles at her lover reassuringly. "I wouldn't let him and Lord Sesshomaru won't kill you just as long as he knows we love each other."

"That's good." Sasuke smirks at her. "Though I said that he'd try to kill me." Rin didn't get it. "Not that he would succeed."

Men. Rin laughs at the thought. They were always strutting about trying to prove that they were stronger than one another. Peacocks. They were like peacocks.

"What are you laughing at?" Sasuke raises an eyebrow at her response.

Rin just smiles at him and laughs. "You're acting like a peacock. Strutting about and comparing your feathers to Lord Sesshomaru's." It was just so funny.

Sasuke gives her a rather incredulous look at first, but then he smirks. "Well I suppose that's not entirely inaccurate. Though my feathers must be rather impressive to have attracted the attention of such a beautiful hen." Well that was true. Rin certainly couldn't argue with him there.
