InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Infallible ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Hey this piece just popped up in my head and I couldn't resist. This was originally supposed a long shot but I thought it would flow better with several chapter installments, probably no more than five chapters.

I had been meaning to do a Sess/Rin fic for a while now, so I hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER-I never have and never will own Inuyasha

Infallible

He should have known better.

He should have known what the future result of his curiosity and undisclosed fascination would be with a mere slip of a female, who couldn't have been more than eight winters back then. He should have known that those same pudgy fingers that joyously plucked flowers from their meadows and constantly tugged on his heart strings would, within the time of ten seemingly short years, become slender with the grace of a lady of his court. Unkempt hair that had once housed remnants of mud pies and flower crowns soon became long flowing rivers of the shiniest obsidian. The little girl he had resurrected all those years ago had transformed before his own amber eyes, and he found that he for once in his life was powerless to stop it.

And he would soon find himself to be powerless to her.

He, the great Taiyoukai Sesshomaru had never had to second guess his judgment in all his centuries of living.

But right now he was beginning to think that he should have let Rin stay back in his hanyou brother's village.

He had gone back to village after surveying his lands like had had done every so often over the course of the previous years preceding the defeat of Naraku; only this time he had not come bearing gifts and trinkets that served as a reminder of her status despite being among the common folk. He had strolled elegantly into the village Inuyasha and his miko called home, with the intent of leaving with his ward to return to his late father's home.

It had been three years since his last visit; there been many skirmishes around the border of his lands that he had attended to whenever they had intruded into his territory. The most recent of such been one particular altercation between the tiger and lion youkai clans that had proved to be most meddlesome. It had taken much persuasion along with a couple of threats from him personally, to conduct a formal peace treaty between the two rival clans.

When he had last seen Rin, she had just entered an awkward pubescent stage and she had been constantly tripping over her own feet and breaking things, usually of value. That had been when she was thirteen years of age.

Despite what he told himself he had missed her presence greatly. In the three years he had been gone he had found himself missing the mindless chatter that come forth from the girl, the way she laughed in complete joy as she ran through flower filled meadows, the way his name would fall from her lips as she slept at night with a contented smile.

Yes, he had missed her greatly.

He set his sights on Inuyasha's hut in the distance, spying his nephew and nieces playing what appeared to be some sort of game of pursuit. He approached the eldest, a boy of six, and watched as the boy facing away from him suddenly went stiff, his tiny nose twitching furiously as he recognized his powerful youki and the scent of kin.

“Uncle!” he cried as he spotted the taiyoukai and began to quickly make his way to the elder youkai.

The boy was not the only one had had noticed his approach. As if on cue, the boy's father stormed past the flap of hide that marked the doorway of his hut, with Tetsusaiga in hand, though still in its sheath.

“Yo Bastard!” he quipped. “It's about time you've showed your pompous ass up here! Where the hell have been for the last three fucking years?!”

Sesshomaru resisted the urge to snort at his brother's unfailing tactlessness when it came to word choices. One would think that after living with the miko for several years that would learn some form of acceptable speech.

"It is good to see you too, little brother." Inuyasha eyed the older youkai before proceeding to cross his arms defiantly.

"Humph. I guess you're here for the brat huh?" he asked loosely, as Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed slightly at his brother's blatant lack of respect for his human ward. "She's in the house with Kagome and the young one." he said as he inclined his head in the direction of his hut. His eyes softened slightly as regarded the form of his older brother. "You know, she really has missed you a lot, bastard. As much as I would hate it, I do hope that this visit is longer than your usual five minute pop in, at least for her.”

Sesshomaru was barely able to hold back the smirk at his brother's words.

“This Sesshomaru intends to leave with his ward to return our father's home. She has fulfilled her purpose in this village.”

Inuyasha let out a short bark of amusement.

“Oh really?” he scoffed. “And what do you intend do with her once you leave? Go traipsing across all of Japan along that little kappa you call a retainer?”

“It is time that my ward learns the way and manner of the court.” At this Inuyasha let out a most undignified snort.

“Heh, so what, she can be a little lady and recite poetry and wave little fans around? Why the hell are you doin' this shit now?” his eyes widened as a very disturbing thought crossed his mind. “You don't mean to say you're planning on… aawww you sick bastard!!!” Inuyasha shouted, slightly disturbed as he backed away from his brother. "Rin?!" he asked disbelievingly. "What the hell?! And here I thought that you still hated humans. Apparently not..."

Immediately catching on to what his brother had implied he found himself narrowing his eyes dangerously before moving rapidly to clench his hand on his brother's neck. Inuyasha struggled against his death-grip as Sesshomaru raised him up to eye level.

“Your gall never ceases to amaze this Sesshomaru. I should crush your windpipe and drain your life force completely for uttering such things.” He growled harshly as he punctuated his words with an even tighter squeeze.

“If you ever hurt her…t-then you'll find…that…our p-positions will be…reversed and you'll be th-the one d-dangling by the neck.” Inuyasha threatened back as he gasped for air. Disgusted, Sesshomaru released his brother, sending him tumbling to the grass before heading toward the hut.

“Humph.”

'Ridiculous. The hanyou is foolish enough to think that this Sesshomaru would take his ward to be his mate? A human?!'

Never.

Inuyasha proceeded to pick himself of the ground and rubbed his now tender neck.

“Damn Sesshomaru, you didn't have to squeeze that hard…!” he groaned as he proceeded to follow the elder youkai in the direction of his home.

As Sesshomaru approached the large hut, the door flap suddenly parted to reveal a worn but happy looking Kagome as greeted them with a smile.

"Sesshomaru! It's been awhile since we've last seen you. I'm assuming you're here to see Rin?" She asked, to which Sesshomaru gave a short nod in response.

“Well, why don't you come in…” she eyed a grumbling Inuyasha as he approached the two. “Just ignore him.”She whispered conspiringly. “He's been in a mood ever since Koga dropped by earlier to say hi to me and the kids.”

Well,that would explain the smell wolf in the area that had been irritating his delicate senses.

“I HEARD THAT KAGOME!”

Kagome rolled her eyes as she beckoned for Sesshomaru to follow her into the hut.

He had only been inside his brother's dwelling once before, despite the number of his previous visits. The amount of smells that seemed to brew in one place made one not want to breathe. How, he wondered, did his half brother stand it all in a daily basis?

Inuyasha seemed to have read the expression on his face from his location on Sesshomaru's left.

“You kinda get used to it after a while. If it bothers you that much, then why don't you just cover your nose?” Inuyasha suggested.

“This Sesshomaru does not pinch his nostrils.”

“Whatever.”

Sesshomaru briefly closed his eyes in exasperation.

“Lord Sesshomaru?” suddenly called a timid sounding, but strangely familiar voice. A familiar scent overwhelmed his senses and immediately felt calm he hadn't felt in three years.

He opened his eyes to see a complete stranger standing before him.

This wasn't the little girl he had left in the elder miko's care those years ago, it couldn't have been. His nose had to be playing tricks on him.

For the being standing in front of him had to have been an angel.

He watched as the girl that stood in front of him suddenly began to smile and he suddenly realized with a pang that this divine creature was in fact Rin, for no one else had a smile as innocent and a pure as the one she wore right then.

“Welcome back my Lord.”

And he had never felt more welcome in his lifetime than he had in that moment.

--

They had stayed only long enough for Rin to gather her things before they set off in the direction of his late father's home.

As they started out on the first leg on the long journey he found that, with some joy, for the most part Rin was the same as when had last seen her. She was a little more reserved however, and wasn't as inclined to go off to pick flowers in the meadow as she had loved do previously in her youth.

But the most obvious changes in his ward were, of course, physical in nature. She had grown to a full mature height just above his collarbone and her body now resembled the full shapely figure of a mature woman, a sign that she had been fed very well. Her scent now held a tinge something that seemed to be on the verge of ripeness, like a fruit blossom getting reading bear its yearly fruit.

Sesshomaru may have been youkai, but he was inherently male first.

Try as he might, there was no way avoid watching the almost hypnotic sway of her hips as she walked or the way her full breasts seemed to strain against the very confines of her kimono as she talked.

Hopefully the strange stirrings in his body from being around his ward would go away once they got to his fortress, where he would likely be swamped with duties to fulfill.

Or, so he thought.
