Love is What Keeps Us
by: Tassana Burrfoot
Chapter Seven: Claim and Conquer
"So, where shall we go, my love?" Shippo asked as he started up his car.
Rin thought about it. She didn't know if her parents were home or not. She knew her mother was going to take her father out somewhere, but she didn't know how long they would be gone. If they came home, or were home already, Rin knew she would be in trouble.
She gave a mischievous grin. "I know a back entrance into the mansion. We could go there."
He nodded and told her to lead the way. He parked his car on the side of a little street near the mansion. She had told him the only people to use this street were servants as they came to and from work.
Eagerly, she led him to the backdoor and opened it. He smiled when he realized they were in the kitchen. He took her hand and pulled her close for a kiss. She giggled and skipped away. Taking the challenge, he rushed after her and pinned her against the dining room wall. He pressed his lips against hers as he began fiddling with her sash.
He growled in her mouth as he finally got the sash untied and threw it, not paying any mind where it landed. Before he could slip off her kimono, she danced out of his hold and away from him. He raised an eyebrow. She was playing with him, the little vixen. A seductive smile spread across his lips as he followed after her. He would enjoy this game.
She led him into her room. Once he was inside, she quickly closed the door and felt him pin her against it. She shuddered slightly, by god was he strong! She turned in his grasp to look at him.
"You won't get away from me that easily, my vixen," he assured her as he kissed her again.
She met his kiss as she felt his hands slide along her shoulders, ridding her of her kimono. Not wanting to be the only one half naked, she began untying his sash. She let the sash fall to the ground and pushed his kimono off his shoulders.
He smiled as he broke the kiss and stepped back. His smile faded when he saw she was wearing a bra and panties. He growled before stepping back up to her to get rid of those two objects.
Before he could get to her, Rin slipped away and skipped around the room. "Such a sly fox, but you'll have to be trickier if you want to catch the likes of me," she giggled.
She stopped when she looked over his body. Well-tuned muscles were slim along his chest and arms. His stomach carried a soft six pack. He looked absolutely delicious. She nearly laughed as she entertained the idea of devouring him whole.
She let her eyes glide shamelessly over his slick body and down to his pants. Her eyes widened a bit when she saw the tent that had been made over his groin. She knew what it was and knew what she would be expecting. She could stop it too, if she wanted. She should stop it, for she knew what her father would say if he found out. But, as she looked up into those blue eyes, she realized she had no desire to stop it. She wanted him as much as he wanted her.
She saw the look in his eyes and moved a little too late. He snatched her up and pressed her against the bed post, where he held her. His lips found hers as he began undoing her bra. He could feel his need in every part of his body. And he knew she wanted him. He had watched her as she had raked over his body, had seen her reaction to him.
He wanted her and he was going to take her. Tonight, he would make her his, perminantly. He took off her bra and slid his hands down her sides to her hips. He let his fingers slip under the strap of her panties and growled in satisfaction as he felt the panties fall away. He ran his hands over her rump, enjoying the feel of her tight bottom.
She felt him press his body against her eagerly and could feel his hardened groin against her stomach. She brought her hands to the clasp of his pants and played with it. She wanted them off, but she was a little frightened at what she would see. Did he even wear underwear? She had seen his reaction when he found she wore undergarments. She wasn't sure of how ready she was to see that part of him. She wanted him, there was no mistake. And she felt ready to take him. But to see him?
She licked his bottom lip and then nipped at his chin. Surprised at the feel of her teeth on his chin, he opened his eyes to look at her. She smiled before she gave a frustrated sigh and pouted, "How do you take these things off?"
He gave a short laugh as he guided her hands along the clasp and helped her undo them. He felt her jerk as her hand went over his malehood. She was afraid. He knew she had a right to be. She had never been with a guy before, so it was natural for her to be afraid. But, he did not want her to be afraid of him.
Taking her by the waist, he led her around the bedpost and onto the bed, where he sat her down. He dropped his pants and then quickly slipped off his boxers before sitting next to her. She had her eyes closed and he knew why. Taking her hand, he brought it to his length and gently wrapped her fingers around him.
It was his turn to close his eyes as he felt her. He gave a soft growl of pleasure as he guided her along his length, and then let go as she began her own exploration. He knew he wouldn't be able to take much more of this as her curious fingers ran over his cock.
She had never seen a penis before. Well, at least, not in real life. She had seen pictures in school during sex ed. But, this was more then that. This was the real thing. And she was fascinated. More importantly, she marvelled at how large he was. How could something that big get inside her? She shuddered at the thought.
She felt herself begin to lose her nerve as he covered her hand with his. "Rin, I can't take it anymore," he whispered.
He knew she was afraid. At first, he could feel her begin to ease as she explored. He did not know what was going on through her head, but he felt her begin to tense up and could smell the fear begin to creep back up again. He decided it was now or never.
He gently pried her fingers off of his cock and eased her onto her back. He kissed her tenderly, letting his lips and tongue guide hers as he brought her legs around his waist.He knew it would be difficult for her. After all, she had never been with a guy before.
He trailed his kisses along her cheek and to the left side of her neck. He then whispered, "Can I keep you?"
She heard and felt the question against her skin.For a moment, she wondered if he meant to claim her, but then she realized that was, in fact the case. Why else would he ask the question? Still... Should she go through with it? Let him claim her? The question seemed obsurd. As if she'd ever want to be with another guy! She nodded her head and could feel him smile.
He kissed the curve of her neck and let his tongue glide along it. All the while, his groin was working along her womanhood, letting her know his intentions there. He could feel her acceptance of him there as she pushed against him, inviting him. He gave a soft groan.
He lifted his hand and cut his neck where her head rested near. "Rin," he whispered, "do you trust me?"
What kind of question was that? Here she was, completely surrendered to him. Even if she didn't want him, all he would have to do was jab himself into her. It wasn't like she could stop him. Besides, if she didn't trust him, they wouldn't be in this moment now. She let out a hoarse answer, "Yes, of course."
"Then, I need you to listen to me," he continued. "When I slide myself into you, it will hurt because it will be your first time. After this moment, you will never feel the pain again. When it comes, bite down into my shoulder where I've cut myself and drink. It sounds gross, but trust me in this. This is a ritual that has been done for centuries."
She nodded and licked at the wound he indicated. She wrinkled her nose at the iron taste of blood. He wanted her to drink that? She almost felt like asking him if he were sane.
He licked her some more and kissed her there, making the tender spot even more tender with his tongue. He nipped at her skin to let her know he was about to go in. As he dived into her body, filling her up, he felt her teeth bite into his neck. At that moment, he revealed his fangs and bit down deep into her neck.
Neither moved as they sucked at the blood that came out. He was careful not to suck too much too fast. He knew that, while he could take it, she wouldn't be able to. He didn't want her to faint on him. Plus, he wasn't trying to suck her dry. He could feel her tense body as she sucked hard at his neck. He knew she was doing that because of the pain.
When he felt her relax, he opened his mouth and licked at her wound. She followed his lead as they looked at one another. He threw her a bloody smile before kissing her blood stained lips. The union of their blood in this kiss caused him to stir and he began thrusting inside of her. He felt her tense up at first, unsure of what he was doing. Then, she relaxed, enjoying the feel of him.
He quickened his pace when she relaxed. This was what he had been wanting for so long. His lips and tongue played war with hers and danced while his hips moved against her. He smiled in her mouth when he felt her begin to move against him. She wanted to join him. He quickened the pace more to challenge her and she met that challenge.
He could feel her climax begin to rise. He wanted to join her in that moment, so he brought his speed to a wall banging pace. She threw her head back and cried out in her release. He growled and dived deep into her belly before releasing his seed. Briefly, he remembered the condom Tomo had given him, but dismissed it as too late.
Once he had expelled himself, he collapsed next to her and gathered her into his arms. They laid there for a while as she fiddled with his chest. Both enjoying the after glow of their lovemaking.
One of the things Shippo had feared was, once he had taken her, he wouldn't want her anymore. But, as he lay in her arms, he knew he had been mistaken to ever have thought that. He wanted her more now then he did before they made love.
He felt her move her head and gazed down to her coffee coloured eyes. He smiled as he kissed her on the forehead.
"I guess this means you are keeping me?" she asked playfully.
He gave her a look as he pretended to think about it. After a moment, he answered, "I think you'll do nicely, my little vixen."
Tomo watched as Suki rode him. The spider demon was bored and annoyed. The girl had been possibly one of the most annoying creatures he had ever taken. He almost wondered if she was worth it. But, his need was there and he knew better then to ask himself stupid questions.
He continued to let her ride him until he felt her (and quite clearly heard her) release. He smiled a wicked smile. It was his turn now. Before she could protest or ask, his arms shot up and grabbed her shoulders. He pushed her onto the bed and pinned her to it, pressing his body firmly against hers. She thought it was a game and giggled.
His face spoke of his seriousness. "Are you really afraid of spiders?" he asked her.
She gave him an inquisitive look before nodding slowly. Then, to her horror, he began to transform.
Two extra pair of arms shot out from his sides as long fangs grew from his mouth. She screamed, but didn't get much out as he attacked her, biting her deeply in the throat. He released his poison into her body and then let go of her. She was paralyzed as he stood up and moved to grab their clothing. It would take a while for her insides to liquidfy. He tapped on his dresser and a large fish tank rose up from it. Inside the tank were three large spiders.
"You really should be careful with who you date," he reprimanded her, knowing she could still hear him... for the moment. "There are spiders everywhere. And I'm not just speaking literally. Had you not been so easy, you probably would have lived a good, long life. It's a shame you won't live long enough to learn from your mistakes."
He threw her clothes into the waste basket and then sat on the bed. He watched as the last bit of life left her and her body became a liquid state. He went back to the wound he had made on her neck and drank her up. She tasted good and filled his hunger.
Sated, he called to one of his servants, a lesser demon who had no control of it's life. "Take her body and throw her in a lake far from here," he ordered.
He went to his mirror and looked in it. To his surprise, he saw Rin's face. He looked at the face curiously, wondering why she would be on his mind. He knew he had fantasized about her, had even dreamed of taking her as his mate a time or two. But, spider mates were different from normal mates. They would never be able to have children.
At least, not if he wished her to be alive to help raise them. When a spider mated, the more powerful spider killed the weaker one and let the eggs live off the decomposing body. Then, when the eggs hatched, they fought until their was only one or two survivors. Those who survived went on to be raised by which ever parent was left.
Tomo shuddered at the thought. The mere idea of killing Rin, or watching her be eaten away by her own children made him sick. No. She deserved the fox demon. At least, with him, she had a better chance of survival.
He looked at her face in the mirror again. "Fantasies are all I shall ever have of you, little human," he told the image. "I suppose that's why you entice me so... You are something I want, but could never logically have. That makes you more precious to me, more dear."
He shook his head and turned away from the image. Why had he been thinking about her? What was that look he saw in her eyes? Then, he knew. He was remembering earlier that night when she had glanced curiously at him about the teenage girl. He had been looking for her acceptance and approval. He had gotten her acceptance. But approval? Of that, he wasn't sure.
He knew she treasured life. It was why she had kept the abuse she recieved a secret for so long. He knew this. He had watched her from the moment she had entered the school. Each year, he would ensure to teach a higher level math just so that she could be in his class. He liked having her there. He marvelled at how intelligent the human was.
Such intelligence was there too! He actually witnessed her sleep a whole five days straight in his class. The sixth day, which had been a Monday, he threw a pop quiz on the class. And she had passed! Not only had she passed, but she had gotten all three bonus questions right! She had been a welcome reprieve for him. Finally, he had gotten someone in his class who had brains and was able to use them properly.
When he had first started teaching, he had wanted the most advanced math classes there were. He had been tired of the lack of knowledge people had and wanted a challenge. He had thought teaching would bring on the challenge he needed. He had been sorely wrong. Most of the students who were in his class were completely clueless and were only taking his coarse because it looked good on college applications. Others, while they had some talent, they lacked the desire to learn more.
Rin not only had talent, she had desire. She dared others to challenge her and took those challenges head on. She never complained, but was quick to argue if she thought something was wrong. Better yet, most of the time, she was right! Very seldom had Tomo ever caught a mistake on her.
The spider demon had counted his blessings when she had walked into his life. It was such a shame she only had two years left. He enjoyed watching her grow into a woman. Human life was so feeble and so fast.
And then, he had felt a strong attraction towards her. He didn't know where the attraction had stemmed from, but he assumed it had something to do with her challenging mind and her beauty. It was easy to be attracted to one such as Rin.
Many times he had entertained the idea of asking her out or perhaps even claiming her. He had shrugged those thoughts out. Going on a date with her wouldn't be so bad, but the fact of the matter was, spiders did not claim. There was no reason to. Why claim something you are going to kill? To a spider, it made no sense.
Perhaps he wouldn't have had to kill her. They could just be lovers. Was there really a need to mate? He scoffed at that. More then anything, he wanted to see Rin with a little girl. Her daughter would be as beautiful as she was, and he knew it. He looked forward to the day when he would get to teach her.
Now that she and the fox were mated, he knew he would get that chance. He smiled to himself. No matter what happened with Rin, he would always love her. And he knew it was love he felt for her, though he didn't quite understand it. He was happy for her. Happy that she had gotten the man of her dreams.
Though the fox was a bit of a brat and even more of an annoyance, Tomo knew Shippo would take care of her. That kitsune loved the human more then... well, then life itself. As much as Tomo did. However, the fox had something the spider didn't. He had the ability to make Rin's life a happy one. To give her beautiful children that she could watch grow.
For that reason alone, the spider did not put up a fight. Yes, he loved her. And he would love her until the day he left this world. He would love her children when they came and her grandchildren. Each generation would be precious to him, if he lived that long to see them.
He sat behing his desk and pulled out his paperwork. He had tests to grade before Monday came. As he worked, he pictured a small girl with long black hair. Some of her hair was in a ponytail off to the side of her head. She watched him with large coffee coloured eyes. A huge smile was plastered on her face. "Mr. Tomo? Can I have some extra assignments?" he heard her small voice ask.
He shook his head and played his dream out. "No, Rin. I've told you before, you don't need them," he answered as he marked an Outstanding score on the top of her test.

"So, where shall we go, my love?" Shippo asked as he started up his car.
Rin thought about it. She didn't know if her parents were home or not. She knew her mother was going to take her father out somewhere, but she didn't know how long they would be gone. If they came home, or were home already, Rin knew she would be in trouble.

Finally, he had gotten someone in his class who had brains and was able to use them properly.
When he had first started teaching, he had wanted the most advanced math classes there were. He had been tired of the lack of knowledge people had and wanted a challenge. He had thought teaching would bring on the challenge he needed. He had been sorely wrong. Most of the students who were in his class were completely clueless and were only taking his coarse because it looked good on college applications. Others, while they had some talent, they lacked the desire to learn more.
Rin not only had talent, she had desire. She dared others to challenge her and took those challenges head on. She never complained, but was quick to argue if she thought something was wrong. Better yet, most of the time, she was right! Very seldom had Tomo ever caught a mistake on her.
The spider demon had counted his blessings when she had walked into his life. It was such a shame she only had two years left. He enjoyed watching her grow into a woman. Human life was so feeble and so fast.
And then, he had felt a strong attraction towards her. He didn't know where the attraction had stemmed from, but he assumed it had something to do with her challenging mind and her beauty. It was easy to be attracted to one such as Rin.
Many times he had entertained the idea of asking her out or perhaps even claiming her. He had shrugged those thoughts out. Going on a date with her wouldn't be so bad, but the fact of the matter was, spiders did not claim. There was no reason to. Why claim something you are going to kill? To a spider, it made no sense.
Perhaps he wouldn't have had to kill her. They could just be lovers. Was there really a need to mate? He scoffed at that. More then anything, he wanted to see Rin with a little girl. Her daughter would be as beautiful as she was, and he knew it. He looked forward to the day when he would get to teach her.
Now that she and the fox were mated, he knew he would get that chance. He smiled to himself. No matter what happened with Rin, he would always love her. And he knew it was love he felt for her, though he didn't quite understand it. He was happy for her. Happy that she had gotten the man of her dreams.
Though the fox was a bit of a brat and even more of an annoyance, Tomo knew Shippo would take care of her. That kitsune loved the human more then... well, then life itself. As much as Tomo did. However, the fox had something the spider didn't. He had the ability to make Rin's life a happy one. To give her beautiful children that she could watch grow.
For that reason alone, the spider did not put up a fight. Yes, he loved her. And he would love her until the day he left this world. He would love her children when they came and her grandchildren. Each generation would be precious to him, if he lived that long to see them.
He sat behing his desk and pulled out his paperwork. He had tests to grade before Monday came. As he worked, he pictured a small girl with long black hair. Some of her hair was in a ponytail off to the side of her head. She watched him with large coffee coloured eyes. A huge smile was plastered on her face. "Mr. Tomo? Can I have some extra assignments?" he heard her small voice ask.
He shook his head and played his dream out. "No, Rin. I've told you before, you don't need them," he answered as he marked an Outstanding score on the top of her test.
