Title: Cry of the Heart

<b>Chapter 1: Ones' Desires <b>

By Tainted InuShemeeko

Rin's cinnamon eyes remained steady as she stared out into the castle garden. He had left her again; he always did around this time. She didn't understand it completely, so what if she came into her cycle when he was here. She was his servant, was she not? It was her duty to please her Lord. Yet he never did, he would just take Jakken and leave for the six days her cycle remained with her.

She smirked to herself as she thought of all of the things he had done earlier in the week. Sesshomaru had once again sent all of the male servants away. Only the female servants remain to care for her. That in it's self was proof enough to her. Rin then laughed lightly to herself, she didn't know men in general however she knew her Lord Sesshomaru. She would watch how he stared at her, the desire burning with in his honey golden orbs matched her own.

A soft gentle voice knocked Rin out of her peaceful thoughts.

"Rin? Do you not think it is time for you to bathe? Our Lord will be very displeased if he finds you unrested."

Rin turned curious eyes toward the young demoness, her bright cinnamon eyes taking in the demoness loveliness. Shimmering silver eyes and long flowing pink hair. In Rin's eyes she was beautiful.

"Mina, what are you talking about? Do you know something I do not?"

Mina shook her head once she realized her mistake.

"Oh no. No, no, no not at all Rin."

Rin then rubbed the claw mark underneath her collarbone. Sesshomaru had told her that all his servants were marked in such a way. So then no harm would come to them, so in her mind Sesshomaru had simply said she had been mark as his property. Her eyes quickly turned back toward her small window. The pale claw mark started to pulse, Rin was sure that Mina had felt the claw mark below her collarbone pulse as well.

"That is strange our Lord is returning early."

Today was the last day of her cycle her bleeding had for the most part stopped. Why had he come home early her lord wasn't due back until tomorrow. Rin quickly looked down at her soiled clothes. She knew she must bathe quickly, for it he found out that she had been working the fields with the other servants. Sesshomaru would become very displeased with her. For he had told her that her duties were to entertain him with the beautiful music she played with her flute. Not to become sweaty and dirty in the fields.

Without hast Rin quickly headed to the bathe that awaited her. With her long dark brown hang down her back, Rin lathed her hair with the scented oils of the lily flower. Once her hair was rinsed clean to pinned it to the top of her head. She then busied herself with cleansing her body of dirt and sweat.

Rin was startled suddenly when Sesshomaru burst through the doors of the bathing room. With her lord's sudden appearance Rin stood up in the bathe, water cascading down her shapely form. His anger flared within his eyes as he stared at her face. Sesshomaru's amber orbs were so demanding and piercing that she didn't have time to be self conscious of being naked in front of her lord.

As she stared into his face, his eyes told her that he knew of her activies of that day. His voice matched the coldness and demanding presence in his eyes.

"Rin. You have disobeyed me. Were you not told, not to step foot in the fields?"

Rin brought her eyes away from her lords.

"I was my lord."

Sesshomaru's voice remained without feeling. His eyes just as cold as he continued to stared at her. His gaze was so piercing Rin was starting to feel like a piece of meat he was staring at.

"You know your strange illness, steals your strength from you and yet you still push yourself. Do you hate this Sesshomaru that much?"

Rin became horrified as the last sentence came from her lord.

"Oh no, My Lord never."

She then turned to face her punishment her lord would give her for disobeying his wishes.

"Rin is awaiting her punishment from her lord."

"There is no need for you to be punished. Mina will be enough."

Rin's eyes widened as she suddenly grabbed Sesshomaru's wrist her knees shaking as she did so.

"Please my lord. Do not punish Mina for something that I, Rin did."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened at Rin's actions yet the girl remain firm. No tears fled her eyes as she barded with her lord.

"As you wish Rin."

Rin bowed to her lord, her right hand still holding firmly on to Sesshomaru's wrist.

"Rin. You may release me now."

Her eyes widened when she realized that she was still holding onto her lord.

"Forgive me. My Lord, Rin forgot her place."

Just as Rin released her lord, she felt her knees give out on her. Her body falling toward the water in the tub, in one quick motion a strong arm wrapped around her slim waist. Sesshomaru then lifted her out of the tub, just as Mina walked into the room with Rin's towel and clean yukata.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at Mina as she entered. He then handed Rin over to her.

"Dress her and then bring her to my chambers."

Mina bowed as Sesshomaru toward his back and left the room.

"Yes. My lord."

Mina then looked worriedly down at Rin.

"Rin? Our Lord did not hurt you did he?"

Rin smiled weakly up at Mina.

"No he did not. I was the one who put myself in such a state. I pushed my body over its limits. Sometimes I forget that I have limitations, my life was so carefree before this strange illness claimed my body."

Mina helped Rin change into a light pink yukata and then fixed her a cup of herbal tea.

"Drink this tea Rin. It shall return stolen energy to your body."

Once Rin had drank three cups of her tea. Mina offered her a fourth one, which she kindly turned down. She then hurriedly relieved herself. Then she calmly fell into step behind Mina as she led her toward their lord's chambers.

Many thoughts swam through Rin's head as she followed Mina down the long corridor to her lord's chambers. She had never been sent to his room before. Was he going to force himself upon her as her punishment for disobeying him today? Nah. Her lord would never do that to her. Rin knew Sesshomaru despised humans, however he had told her that she was not like normal humans. That she was special, in want way she did not know for she simply saw herself as a human. However, Inuyasha's mate she was special for she was a powerful miko. She was simply just Rin she had no powers.

Before she realized it, she was standing before her lord's bedchambers. Mina nodded toward the door.

"This is our Master's room. I wish the well. I take it that the herbal tea has given you renewed strength as it has always done?"

Rin nodded in response, as she then walked toward the massive oak doors. Mina then bowed to her as she turned to leave.

"I shall take my leave now my lad…I mean Rin."

Before Rin had a chance to question her friend she disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke.

<i> `Mina knows something. I know she does why else would she have been acting strange around me?' <i>

With a determined look in her eyes, Rin knocked lightly on the large door and waited for her lord's response.

"You may enter Rin."

His voiced seemed the same devoid of any emotion. She slowly entered the room and bow in the presence of her lord. Her eyes remained forward, and seemed to be penetrating the gaze of Sesshomaru's cold amber eyes. Sesshomaru took a step out of the shadows and toward Rin.

"You are like no other human I have met. Not once have I seen fear in you as you look upon me. Why?"

He continued to pace around Rin as he awaited her answer.

"I never saw a reason to fear you. I found out that humans were to be feared more then some kinds of demons, my Lord."

Sesshomaru kept his eyes locked on her, as he spoke to her.

"I take it that you know that this illness will kill you and even if I were to bring to back to life with Tenseiga. That your life would just wither away again?"

Rin's posture remained straight as she answered her lord.

"I do My Lord."

Rin remained still ever though her heart was beating wildly inside her chest. Her lord's rain sweet musky scent was causing her pulse to thump in her neck. She was sure that her lord was aware of her quicken heart rate, as well as the scent of her arousal. Rin was sure of this when she saw Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the change in her scent.

She was about to ask Sesshomaru if her scent was starting to disturb him. When he spoke to once more.

"I wish to give you something that you hear your heart cry out for. Tell me what it is you wish and it shall be yours."

Suddenly for the first time in fifteen years, Rin lowered her eyes away from her lord.

"My Lord Sesshomaru can not give me what my heart truly desires."

Unseen from Rin's eyes a small smile appeared on Sesshomaru's lips. She had amused him with her truthful answer, for as long as Sesshomaru had known her Rin had never lied to him. He had taught her the value of the truth and so she told him the truth. He showed no emotion toward her as he spoke to her in a monotone voice.

"I see. What would Rin do, if her lord also desired her?"

At first Rin did not response to her lord's question. She was still processing what he had just said to her.

"Rin. Answer."

Rin nodded to Sesshomaru to show him that she understood him, and was preparing to answer him.

"I suppose Rin, would need her lord to show her that she was still alive and not in heaven."

Sesshomaru was suddenly standing in front of her. His clawed fingers gently lifting her chin up, so that her eyes met his once again.

"That can be simply done."

Every feeling Rin had ever felt for Sesshomaru seem to gushing through her veins as if a dam had been broken inside of her. As her lord's soft and gentle, yet powerful lips pressed against her's. The intensity of their kiss mounted as the scent of the end of her cycle swirled in with the scent of carnations and roses, as well as the scent of her body's arousal.

A soft growl rumbled from within Sesshomaru.

"I take it, it was real enough for you?"

However no words were needed to given him, his answer for her body had given itself to him willingly. She had not pulled away from the kiss, which his instincts read as take me I'm yours. Sesshomaru's surfed through the feelings that seemed to be spinning around Rin like a whirlwind. He was looking for fear and doubt and seemed pleased when he could not find them.

Rin's whole body shivered as Sesshomaru's tongue licked the right side of her neck. She now knew what Sesshomaru was preparing to do. The old demon Kameko had explained about demon mating to her when her body had slowly to change on her. The male lick the spot on her body that he desired his mark to grace.

A soft feral growl wafted up from Sesshomaru chest as he delicately placed his fangs into the pulsing vein in Rin's neck. His eyes burned red for a mere second, before returning to their regal golden color. Sesshomaru then very neatly began to lick her neck clean of her blood. His eyes seemed to be dancing as a light purple bruise in the shape of a crescent moon started to form where his fangs had pierced her flesh.

"Rin, do you wish to stay with me for eternity?"

Rin's answer was simple. For he knew it without her speaking it to him, for her answer had been yes. Sesshomaru kneeled gently to the tiled floor as he held her weakening form within his arm. He then wasted no time in doing what he had been instructed to do. Sesshomaru bit into his own wrist lightly, as his blood started to pool from the small wound. He then let a drop of his blood surge and pool with the blood that was from Sesshomaru's mark.

Rin felt a strange tingly in the side of her neck just before a fever over came her. Sesshomaru felt his body tense as he felt her body heat up against his. Anger started to course through his veins he then remembered that Rin could now feel what he felt.

<i> `My foolish half brother said nothing about a fever claiming his mate's body. However if I recall his wench's illness was not the same as Rin's. In my brother veins also swims the blood of a human. So her reaction to my blood could be some what different.' <i>

Sesshomaru's eyes harden as Rin's body started to convulse. He became disgusted as he watched her cough blood up from within her body. The sophisticated part of him as well as the part of him that found humans disgusting, wanted to turn away from Rin in her suffering. Yet his demon instincts and loyalty to his mate demanded that he stay by her side. So stay he did.

Sesshomaru soon found himself focusing, on the future he and Rin would share. He soon forgot about the blood that now stained her once pink yukata. At the sound of Rin whimpering his name he found himself stroking strands of lose dark brown hair away from her face. Sesshomaru then gently cradled her head on his lap. This human girl held some sort of power over him.

Some how over the years Rin had managed to wiggle her way into his heart. Sesshomaru shook his head as he watched her with great concern.

"No Rin you cracked the ice on my heart that day in the woods when you cared for me. I made a comment about how you acquired the bruises on your face. You the then giggled and smiled at me. From that day on you became a part of me."

A small whimper escaped from within Rin's pale lips. Sesshomaru was cold but caring as he spoke to her.

"Hush now Rin. You need your rest. I intend to stay by your side until you are once again well."

*************************************************************** *

Sesshomaru's eyes blinked open as the morning filtered into his chamber. His amber eyes glanced down at Rin's sleeping angelic face as her head still rested in Sesshomaru's lap.

"It would seem your will to live is stronger then I first thought."

He then rested Rin's sleeping form against his chest, as he used his hand to untie the sash on the blood caked yukata. Once the soiled clothes had been removed from her body. Sesshomaru cradled Rin's naked form to his chest as he carried her to his (their) bed. He carefully laid Rin's head on the dark blue silken pillow as he gently pulled the sheet from under her body.

Water dripped from the cloth as Sesshomaru squeezed it. He then washed her blood as well as his away from her neck. He rinsed the cloth and started to wash the dried blood away from the corners of her mouth. After a few moments, Sesshomaru just sat beside Rin's bedside and watched her sleep. Once the shadows of evening started to fall upon his room. Sesshomaru stood up from his vigil at Rin's side, and head toward the bathing room inside his chambers.

After washing away his and Rin's blood from his body. Sesshomaru slipped into a clean white pair of hakama (pants). He himself then climbed in bed beside Rin and watched her sleep. The following morning Sesshomaru's routine remained the same, for he stayed by Rin's side. By mid-afternoon, a small smile that would have sent Jakken into panic. Etched itself across Sesshomaru's lips as Rin's breathing and pulse started to become stronger.

However it was not just the strength in her pulse that had cause the smile to appear on his lips, nor the strange spark that now flashed within his breathtaking amber eyes. It was the small dark blue crescent moon that was now very visible on the side of her neck where he had marked her. Besides his mating mark on her neck Rin still seemed to be herself. Sesshomaru knew that only the coming day would tell. He himself now was noticing that now that he had marked her. Rin's scent seemed to tease his scents making him want her more and more.

He would wait to take her fully, he needed to be sure that her body could handle the stress and heated passion of their mating together as one. Sesshomaru gently combed his nails through Rin's hair as she slept.

"Soon Rin we shall see if indeed. My instincts were correct in claiming you as my mate."
