Animal Instinct

 

Chapter 1: Beginnings

 

 

The day was perfect, bright, sunny, and warm. It seem like nothing could go wrong on such a beautiful day. That was before Koga's Wolf Demon Tribe attacked my village. They killed everyone…except me. Somehow I managed to hide, it may seem like a blessing but how could you watch your family and your neighbors being slaughtered and consider it a blessing?

When the wolf demons finally left I went out to see if I could salvage anything. That was when I first me Lord Sesshomaru. He was kind to me, even though his servant master Jaken was not. I traveled with Lord Sesshomaru for ten years. *sigh* I still cherish those memories, but now I have others….

Upon meeting Lord Sesshomaru I had assumed, or at least wished that “something” would become of this relationship, if you know what I mean, however, I never expected so much force…or blood for that matter.

When I say blood I mean the blood of the demons and people he saved me from.

I always felt so safe with Lord Sesshomaru. He was everything I looked for in a mate. He was strong, handsome, fearless, and he just radiates control. As I got older my feelings for him began to change, well evolve is a better word for it. I started noticing different things, like the way he has his hair, the outfit he wears, and the way those sexy purple stripes complement his eyes. You should see the way he handles sword! It's beautiful like a dance, his hair blowing in the wind, the way his eyes gleam right before he attacks, his liquid movements, the way he is looking at me right now, his eyes full of passion and hunger. Every time he looks at me like that I'm speechless, all I can think is he wants me?! You may ask why I don't say he loves me. In truth I really don't know.

Well I suppose I should tell you how I got, how should I say, “involved” with Sesshomaru.

 

 

I don't know why I love her. I can no longer explain my actions with logic. When I first met Rin she was eight years old. I took her from her destroyed village. Those wolves were always trouble. She was rummaging through the debris of her home. She looked so small and vulnerable amongst the ruins standing there in her tattered mud streaked clothing. I never meant for her to see me, but something in my blood called for her. It was then that I realize how much like my father I really am. I felt something for this human girl.

It was amazing, she was not afraid of me. My Rin walked straight to me and looked up at me with those big eyes. How was this girl any different from the other humans I had passed by? For some reason I just knew this one is different. So I took Rin with me on my journeys, much to Jaken's dislike. He only protested because I put him in charge of Rin for the time being, until I can figure out my place in all this.

After many hours, days, and years of meditation, I have come to the conclusion that when it comes to Rin, my animal instinct takes over. She has been traveling with me for ten years now, and she grows more beautiful by the day. Every time I see her I just want to….

I am a man of discipline, damn it! I should be able to control my thoughts. *groan* I don't know how much longer I can take this. She is looking at me with those big beautiful eyes, I can't deny her anything. She seems to be looking strait into my soul. I hope she can handle what she finds. Now, I can no longer deny what I see when she looks at me.

The time has come. Tonight she will be MINE!

 

 

Two days earlier.

 

“I don't think that's such a good idea master Jaken. Lord Sesshomaru will not take kindly to your prying into his private matters with his brother.

“Be quiet you insolent girl! You know Lord Sesshomaru has excellent hearing.” Jaken squawked at Rin, just as Sesshomaru turned and looked strait at them both. The annoyance in his gaze told them, that yes indeed Rin was correct.

When he turned back Rin let out a small sigh of relief. She knew he would not hurt her, or he would have done so long ago when she was a child.

The years had gone by swiftly, and Rin indeed grew more beautiful with each passing day. It was all Sesshomaru could do to keep his claws off her. He ached every time he looked at her. She was to be his mate. He knew that now, and accepted his fate.

After the evening meal was over and the others slept, Sesshomaru stole a glance at his lovely Rin. `Soon she will be mine, and no one will dare try to take her from me again.' His thoughts took this path often, he knew it well now. He was almost certain Rin shared his feelings, but he was still unsure. Mentally he berated himself for being a weak stupid fool. She was meant to be his, but he was still nervous.

“I've never hesitated like this in my entire lifetime. Why now? Why when it is this important, do I hesitate?

Rin heard him muttering to himself and couldn't believe what she was hearing. He wanted her?! She was supposed to be his mate? It was all she had ever dreamed of, to spend the rest of her life in the safety of Sesshomaru's strong arms. Rin finally fell back asleep with dreams of his strong arms surrounding and protecting her.

Sesshomaru had sensed when she had awoken, and stopped his argument with himself. How much had she heard? What did she really think of him? So many unanswered questions, it will all be decided tomorrow night. She would be his tomorrow willing or not, he prayed willing.

When the morning dawned they broke camp and headed towards the mountains where Sesshomaru's castle was hidden. He had decided last night that that would be the place he finally took hold of his destiny and took his mate.

The time was drawing near. He couldn't wait much longer. Danger was coming, he could feel it.
