InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lolita: Sesshomaru and Rin ❯ Child Grooming ( Chapter 4 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
(A/N: Some of you will not be expecting this shift, but some parts of this story will not be told from Humbert (Sesshomaru)'s perspective like in the original. Some of this will be told from Rin's perspective. Such as this part.

Sorry if Rin's perspective isn't as clear as to what really happened. The victim's usually never is in the beginning.

Yes, that's right, I referenced the infamous Tale of Genji. I haven't read the children's version, but I do know there is one out there, so forgive me if it's incorrect. I only have the adult version. Rin's P.O.V. starts now.)



The Tale of Genji...Children's Condensed version. Yup, that's right. Children's condensed...mommy never lets Rin read anything good. Like I need some censored kid's version when I already know all that stuff already.

Regardless, I picked up the book and flipped through the pages. Apparently, it was about some boring guy in Japan who won wars or something. It was really dull until I got to the summary for one specific chapter.

He wanted a princess, Lady Fujitsubo, but it was forbidden cause they were already married, and he got all upset.

Wait, what...? He complains about it to his main wife? Main?

Then he has a lot of other girlfriends, but this is not romantic to Rin. He keeps getting rejected, or they die.

Right now, he's seen a pretty girl and he's entering her room even though he knows he doesn't have her permission. She recognizes him as a man of unchallengeable power and she knows that protesting is useless. (A/N: Yes, Genji is a rapist.)

Protesting what?

"Someone might hear us." she says.

"I can go anywhere and do anything." he replied.

Hear what?

Am I missing something?

I'd have to ask about that later. I kept skimming through the book.

Wakamurasaki...? Ah, it means something like "Young Murasaki". I giggled and snorted; what a stupid name. It was the name for a girl, and it meant purple plant or something.

So this Genji guy had a fever. He finds this girl, a little girl who he finds out is Lady Fujitsubo's niece. Oh, so she's a princess then? And then, he...immediately wants her for himself.

Uh-oh.

Love at first sight.

I smiled and looked above before sighing, "How romantic." The book had won me over. I wanted to keep reading.

A little bit later, he...kidnaps her.

She is crying.

I...what? But it's okay. He's the hero of the book. He must have a good reason, right? I can't let a good love story be spoiled by something minor. I turned the page in anticipation for what was to come but I was interrupted before I could get any further.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Da mmit, I forgot that I was alone with that Sesshomaru man; he walked in and his opening the door startled me. He was actually kind of cute; he looks like my favorite actor Naraku except he's pale. But this is not how I wanted to spend the day. We were supposed to go to Our Glass Lake with Shiori and her mom, but she canceled at the last minute because her mom got sick and now, it was postponed, and I was home with him reading while mom was at church.

I took a bite out of the apple that I held in my hand and turned back to my book about the Princess who got rescued by her Prince, who'd rescue her from everything and give her the world. At least, I hope that's how it turned out. I didn't get to find out because just then the jerk took my apple.

"Give it back!" I demanded, holding my hand out. He took it out and gave it to me. Stupid. I took another large bite out of it before turning my head to try to read. What was that for anyway?

I didn't have time to finish the sentence I was on for soon I felt...breath on my neck.

What the hell?

Sesshomaru was so close to me, my hair brushed his temple and my arm touched his cheek when I wiped my mouth, trying to shrug off his weird ways. Not big of a deal.

Not very comfortable though. I feel weird, tingling sensations throughout my spine and suddenly felt more self-conscious, alert, and aware of my surroundings than I usually was.

"What's that book you got there?" he asked.

"The Tale of Genji."

"The Japanese tale? What a smart girl."

"...Thanks."

I felt him tilt his head on my shoulder; out of the corner of my eyes I could see that he was only trying to read my book. Inwardly I felt relieved about something.

But then he went and took the entire book away from me!

"What are you doing?" I shouted, bewildered. The next minute, I was basically all over him trying to retrieve it.

He caught me by my wrist; I lost my grip on my book and it fell. I twisted myself free, recoiled, and lay accidentally across his lap with my legs extended in the process of all the freaking gymnastics that I was doing. He started talking fast about nothing; now and then he'd complain of a toothache. He pulled the book farther over his head and soon I was kind of straddling him while struggling to reach it.

He started singing-ooh he was teasing me! I twitched as I could feel him kind of stroking my leg. I kept shuffling back and forth on his lap trying to reach my book-

Did I just feel something liquid?!

Just then, he finally gave me back my book, and I rolled off his lap and stuck my tongue out at him. I pretended to go back to it, but couldn't.

I felt sick.

I kept thinking about the weird, sticky feeling that I had suddenly gotten while I was on his lap.

I was shivering. I had no reason to.

Trying to calm myself, I took a very loud bite out of my apple. It's okay, Lo. You're just weird. It's okay.

But then I felt his hand creeping up my leg. I turned and-

"Look, see what you've done to yourself?" He was brushing the bruise that I had on my thigh from tripping. His hand was tickling me. I made a weird crying sound, and tried to squirm away. When his mouth brushed my neck, I succeeded. Finally.

I jumped to my feet. I don't know why, but somehow, I felt the urge to call my mom. My cheeks were aflame, my hair was a mess, and it was all I could do to not cry as I explained to her over the phone that I wanted to be picked up by car and taken to church with her. I didn't say why. I didn't know why. All I know is, I feel dizzy.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

That night I finished the Tale of Genji.

The girl named Murasaki was..."schooled" and "educated" in how to be a proper wife for him or something like that. She really had no room to say or think otherwise. She never got the time or space of day to realize that there was something out there besides him, that he was keeping her prisoner, and that he was lying to her.

She had no choice but to accept it all. She was never presented with any other ideals.

And all this time, while he kept her locked up to be nothing but his toy, he continued to meet with Lady Fujitsubo and she even had his son. That boy became the crowned prince and Fujitsubo became the Empress, and they continued their relationship a secret.

So he reconciled with his other wife, and she had his son too, but then she died. Only then did he marry Murasaki, but even afterwards, he continued to see other women and have children by them-Oborozukiyo and Akashi. She was never his main wife. Rin doesn't think that he ever loved her.

The rest of the book is about more deaths, his career, and how it all slowed down once he turned 40.

He goes and marries another wife, who later bears the son of his nephew.

By this time, his relationship with Murasaki is so beyond repair, she leaves him in order to become a nun. And then she dies, and then Genji dies soon after.

Oh, Murasaki.

Poor Murasaki.

I thought...just maybe...you might have become a princess, or at least had a life.

That night, I threw that book away. I couldn't bring myself to read it again. I vowed to never, ever idealize that kind of fantasy and I cried myself to sleep. I never want to be Murasaki.
