SessRin

Sesshoumaru walked the short distance to the village, with his hand on the hilt of Tenseiga. He was alert for any signs of danger, but all was calm. It seemed everyone had gone to sleep for the night.

The lonely hut stood on the outskirts, and the women were alone with the baby. He could smell the aroma of milk and fresh linens. The child was crying, whimpering softly and the mother was trying to put the fussy baby to sleep.

He pulled back the bamboo covering, and entered silently; the women looked up, completely startled at his unexpected entrance.

"What do you want, beast?" The older woman asked.

Sesshoumaru immediately sensed the old woman was a (rather weak) miko, and also the younger woman's aunt. He could smell the similarity in their blood.

Sesshoumaru glanced down at the sleeping child wrapped up in a blanket; he needed that blanket. "Give me that." He gestured down to the cloth covering the child.

The young mother looked up horrified. This demon wants my baby!

"No!" The terror on her face was clear, and her scent reeked of panic. She started crying, and when he shifted his weight, she screamed.

Nothing can ever go smoothly...Sesshoumaru thought to himself. He was becoming annoyed.

"Hand it over, and there will be no trouble." He said ominously, growling through his teeth and holding up a single hand while cracking his knuckles.

If demands would not work, then intimidation should

"Begone with you, evil demon!" The old woman pulled a sutra from inside of her miko's haori.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes, watching as the sutra fell on his shoulder and sizzled away into dust.

The old woman's eyes widened in fear and she knew that she needed to get reinforcements – quickly.She mad a mad dash for the door, and was slightly surprised when the tall, imposing looking youkai made no move to block her path. The woman stumbled out into the night, moving as quickly as she could (which wasn't very quickly at all) toward the village, and hoping she could manage to wake a few men from their beds before this demon killed her niece and ate the baby.

Sesshoumaru, now not having to worry about that old hag making pitiful attempts to kill him, made to reach for the blanket wrapped around the baby.

"Please! Stop, I'll do anything!" The young mother pleaded, then a moment later, "Take my life instead!"

Sesshoumaru paused, not understanding what was so upsetting to the woman. She cares so much about one simple blanket? She would die for a piece of cloth?

"Cease your useless pleadings, human. I have no interest in you."

LINE BREAK

Rin stood only a few yards away, hidden in the shadows with her son. What is taking so long?When Rin heard the terrified shriek of a young woman her blood ran cold. Oh kamisama, what did he do?

The young girl watched as an old woman ran (well, maybe it was more of a stumble?) as fast as she could out of the hut, and decided she'd better go check on things with Sesshoumaru. It didn't seem to be going well, and Shinnoumaru was whining, and obviously cold. Hoping only to head off disaster Rin pulled her son close and made her way as quickly as she could to the lonely mud-hut where Sesshoumaru was supposed to be asking if he could have a blanket and perhaps some swaddling cloth for the night.

The scene when she entered confused her; a young mother was huddled in the corner covering her child with her own body and Sesshoumaru was standing over the woman growling softly, but from what Rin could tell he wasn't meaning tothreaten; he was obviously annoyed. What on earth happened in here…Why does she look so terrified?

"Sesshoumaru, what are you doing to that poor woman?" Rin said accusingly.

"I told you to stay hidden, Rin." Sesshoumaru reminded her calmly, but with an edge of reprimand to his voice.

Rin looked at the poor woman with sympathy in her eyes," I'm sorry, but I heard screaming, and I was worried."

At just that moment Shinnoumaru made a small squeaking noise, fussing at all the commotion. Rin did her best to quiet the child, "Sesshoumaru, he's getting cold. Have you asked for the blanket yet?"

"That woman refuses to hand it over; instead she cowers and offers her life, like a fool."

The young woman glanced up from her place at the corner, her body still trembling,"You mean... you wanted the blanket?"

This woman's mind is obviously feeble…

"Is that not what this Sesshoumaru said?" The dog Lord mocked.

"I thought... that you wanted to eat my baby..."

Rin blanched, surely he didn't threaten…" Sesshoumaru, did you threaten to eat her baby?"

Sesshoumaru looked back at Rin, who was tapping her foot, and had one hand cocked on her hip while the other arm cradled Shinnoumaru who was fussing around and grabbing at Rin's long hair trying his best to get some of it into his mouth. Sesshoumaru was highly offended, "Ridiculous. This Sesshoumaru does not eat human children, nor make empty threats."

Again, the strange young woman spoke, breaking off the heated glare between Sesshoumaru and Rin, "You only want the blanket? But... what use does a demon have for a baby blanket?"

Rin stepped forward and showed the other young mother her naked baby boy. "We… were caught out unexpectedly for the night, and didn't bring supplies, we need a blanket and swaddling cloths for my son."

The young human mother stared at the infant in this... princess's (? Her clothing was amazingly expensive, after all) arms, and noticed that he had silver hair and two tiny dog ears perched on his head. She looked back to the tall daiyoukai standing over her imposingly, and slowly, she made the connection... Her eyes darted back to Rin, then widened in total understanding. "This demon... he is the father of your child, isn't he?"

"Yes, he is." Rin smiled with obvious pride.

"He was... just trying to care for his child... like any father would..."

"Sesshoumaru-sama is a wonderful father to our baby."

"But you… are… human, aren't you?"

Rin's brow furrowed, "Yes…"

The young woman finally stood up and dusted herself off. Surely if he had a human bride, this demon was no threat to her. She approached Rin and Shinnoumaru, reaching out to touch the infant's ears. Suddenly, Sesshoumaru let out a low deep growl, warning the human from getting to close; but, Rin gave him a sharp look." She won't hurt him; she's a mother too!"

"The child is hanyou. You should not be so trusting, Rin."

The stranger shook her head, "No... I promise, I won't hurt him. I just wanted to touch his doggie ears." She smiled softly at Rin. A mother loves a child, no matter what he is, doesn't she?

Rin smiled, "Aren't they cute?" She squealed girlishly.

"Oh, yes…" The woman nodded, "They are! Would you like to see my son as well?"

"Oh yes, where is he?"

"Oh, he's still bundled up in the corner! Let me get him!" Now, completely unafraid the woman pushed passed Sesshoumaru and gathered her little bundle up in her arms. She brought Rin a diaper cloth and an infant's sized robe to wrap Shinnoumaru up in, while they talked.

"So… I was wondering… When you breastfeed, do your nipples – "

And here, Sesshoumaru completely tuned out, standing silently while the two women chatted, and doted over the infants; he was quickly becoming impatient to get back to the cave, and the relative safety of the isolated woods.

"Rin, it is time to go."

Rin looked at the young mother across from her and smiled sweetly, “Do you mind giving us a blanket and some more diapering cloth?"

"Oh no, of course not! I have plenty." The young woman gathered up the supplies and handed them over to a relieved looking Rin.

"Thank you! I really appreciate it!" Rin nodded, accepting the gifts.

Rin and Sesshoumaru left a small hut quietly; their family stealing into the night forests.

"That was foolhardy, Rin. You do not know how humans will react to the child of a human and youkai union."

"She seemed nice..."

Sesshoumaru stopped suddenly and turned on his heel to face Rin."You are a fool! You put yourself and our son in danger. I cannot protect you if you do not obey even the most simple of my commands. You were to stay hidden with the pup, and I was to retrieve supplies. "

He stood over her, with his jaw set and his eyes sharp, "This will not happen again; do you understand, Rin?"

"Yes, Rin understands..." Rin felt her eyes water with salty tears, "Rin is sorry, Sesshoumaru-sama... She didn't think -"

"No, you did not." He cut her off, and with that, the Dog lord turned around and walked silently back to the cave where the family would spend the night. The entire time he could hear Rin sniffling softly behind him.

He did not like to make her cry, but she must understand how dangerous humans could be to her and more importantly to Shinnoumaru; especially when he was vulnerable.

Upon coming to the mountainside Sesshoumaru lifted Rin and their son into his arms and used his ki to elevate them to the cave entrance, "Remain here; I will gather wood for a fire."

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin bowed her head in submission. She would not defy him again when it was a matter of safety.

LINE BREAK

The fire now started and the baby asleep Rin and Sesshoumaru sat quietly in the cave.

"Do you hate me now?" Ran looked up with wide, wet eyes at her stoic mate.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and his jaw tightened in remorse. He had not realized how deeply his reprimand had affected her."Of course not. Do not be stupid, Rin. This Sesshoumaru could neverhateyou." He held his arms open in invitation, "Come here, little one."

Rin gratefully made her way into his lap, snuggling close and sighing when his furry demon appendage wrapped around her body, "I love you." She whispered.

His long clawed fingers made their way into the dark ebony strands of her silken hair and tipped her face up to meet heads. His lips brushed over her own gently, before guiding her head down toward his chest, "You look beautiful tonight; I had not the chance to tell you before."

Rin blushed, "Thank you... I... had hoped to please you, my Lord."

Sesshoumaru smirked, running his fingers along her side and down to the shelf of her (ever since childbirth, slightly wider) hips, and growling softly in his chest, "You succeeded."

He loved how her body had changed, ever since birthing his offspring. She was softer, rounder, her hips wider, her breasts larger and they hung slightly lower. Though he would always call her 'little one', she was certainly no longer a child or awkward teenager. She was a woman,  with all the charms that went along with that.

Her small hand ran up along his inner thigh and gripped him softly over to silk of his hakama."Rin is sorry she made you angry," she began to stroke him lightly, and let her voice take on breathless quality, "how can she make it up to you?"

His hand slip between the hemline of her kimono and traveled over her side to grip her rounded backside, squeezing and massaging," I made you cry, it is this is Sesshoumaru who has a failing to make up for..." he twisted his body and sent mokomoko behind her, to act as a cushion when he laid her back.

His hips settled in between hers, and his body covered her entirely. He heard her gasp when he ground himself against her, and his lips captured her sigh as he stole her breath with his hot, searing kiss. "It has been awhile, Rin… Are you certain you are ready?"

"Ummm… Yes, my Lord… Rin has…" she panted and squirmed beneath him, wrapping her arms and legs around his lean, muscular frame and shoving her core against the warm, hard length she could feel pressing down into her most sensitive spot, "missed you… so… so…much."

Sesshoumaru whined softly at her rough movements against him, and he knew that with how long it had been since they made love, he might not last long… He wanted to please her, and there was the slightest doubt he could hold off his own pleasures long enough to see to hers, there was only one option.

He slid his body down, noting her frustrated groan, and feeling his pride swell; the girl wanted him…inside her… badly. He opened her robes and nuzzled his way down her belly, licking, kissing, and nipping here and there. When he reached those soft dark curls that lined her womanhood, he nuzzled and buried his face against her, taking a deep long inhale of the scent of her arousal.

"Oh please, Sesshoumaru… I want youinsideme… You don't have to – "

He growled and nipped her inner thigh, silencing her protests, "You'll have what you want," he whispered, careful not to wake the baby sleeping nearby, "but first…" His tongue made a pass over her warm, wet center and Rin threw her head back and gasped silently. He was so damn good at this.

"I want to taste you." He murmured, and Rin nodded absentmindedly in response, already lost to the pleasure of his rough, velvet tongue snaking its way inside her while his head shook back and forth and the tip of his nose strummed her little hard bud.

Rin arched and grabbed fistfuls of the beautiful silver hair and tugged him down, thinking that while she hated arguing with him, the 'making up' almost made it worth it.
