"Being fed by you is degrading, and I refuse to eat if you insist on making train noises." The indignant lord glared at Rin through pale gold lashes, and bared unnaturally sharp canines. The threat went unnoticed, and Rin continued the little game knowing that all Sesshomaru had was hollow threats. Plus, his restraints kept her safe.
"Oh posh, you big puppy dog." She cooed as he ate a spoonful of rice, placing the empty bowl back onto the tray. She started to see the effects of his medication take over, and she wrote down the results of his actions. She didn't like medicating him, but Dr. Sango had been very specific with wanting him drugged up.
...
"It could get him to talk to you, without the unnecessary aggression." The bubbly woman chimed at Rin, both drinking coffee while going over Sesshomaru's file.
"I still don't like it, it feels dishonest." She pouted, causing the older woman to scoff.
"He will not be affected in any negative way. He may actually be grateful that he doesn't have to destroy his pride just to talk about his feelings. And it's not like you're drugging him beyond repair. He will completely aware of you, your questions, and the sessions you'll both have." Rin stared unhappily into her coffee, she still didn't like it.
...
"Subject is now smiling, seeming more relaxed. Almost childlike in behavior." After three unsuccessful tries of only writing their sessions, Rin had brought in the tape recorder she used in college. She kept her eyes only on Sesshomaru, and much to her discomfort, he kept his eyes on her. The first time he had the medication, he was very angry at being tricked, though after they took complete affect he sang a different tune completely. Now however, he seemed almost completely alert, yet still relaxed and almost happy. The soft smile that played on his lips as he looked at her made her heart jump.
"You smell nice today, nurse mutt." Brow raising slightly at the statement, and not so much the nickname, she decided to humor him.
"How do I smell any differently than I usually do?" His smile turned mischievous. Leaning forward, his gilded eyes shut and he inhaled deeply, shuddering as he breathed out. The action was more sexual than she could imagine, but her poker face remained. She watched as the platinum blond strands that escaped his braid fell over his broad shoulders when he sat back. Her eyes flew back to his when they opened lazily, staring into her own.
"You've started your monthly bleeding, have you not?" She was floored, mask slightly shattered by the surprising and correct statement. A hint of blush crept up towards Rin's naked face, and her eyes couldn't move from his own. He smiled a slow, mean smile at her slightly flustered state. "I enjoy your scent, mutt. It's intoxicating and rich, like cheap red wine." Her mask was up once again, and she ignored the backhanded and strange compliment.
"Well, you have quite the nose." Was all she could say. She pushed the strange thoughts out of her mind, and the sudden heat at her core caused her to squirm. His smile grew wider, though the malice she had seen before was gone.
"It runs in the," he frowned slowly, "family." Rin's eyebrows shot up in alarm. Sesshomaru never brought up his family, and she was ordered to do the same. Gold eyes slowly lifted to her own, and the anguish she had seen made her heart ache. His face scrunched in pain, and she was up in an instant wrapping an arm around his trembling, massive frame. She was finally making progress.
