She couldn't take it anymore…
It was just TOO MUCH.
His cold perfection.
His aloof, uncaring demeanor.
Never knowing where she stood in his mind, or even… perhaps… his heart.

For these past nine years, whenever he'd come to visit and they'd go and sit beneath 'their' tree…
He'd usually give her some gift, comment briefly on his time away, then listen to her talk for hours, or sit in comfortable silence, just basking in each other's presence, and then… he'd leaveagain.
How can he just walk away? How can he just leave me here?
The whole time she'd be focusing on NOT looking at him, NOT breathing in his scent, and certainly… most definitely not touching him.
She didn't trust her body not to give off any telling 'scents'…
Damn his demon nose!
But lately…
Even the sound of his voice would drive her crazy!
It was too much, he was just too much!
She just couldn't take it anymore.

Today's visit had been different.
She'd…snappedat him… yelling in his face over his lack of an answer to, what had, in all honesty, been a rhetorical question anyway.
She stood with her back to him, within easy striking distance.
If she were any other creature, she'd be dead… but she had never had the common sense to fear him.
He deigned to speak,
"Rin, what is it?"
No one else would have, but she could distinctly hear the concern in his voice.
She looked at the ground, shaking her head.
She muttered darkly to herself…
"Its now or never, and if he kills me, he kills me..."
Before she could gather her thoughts, he spoke to her again,
"This Sesshomaru would not kill you, Rin."
Damn his demon ears! Gods! I hate him!
The voice in her head whispered condescendingly… 'liar'.
Rin gave an annoyed growl, before he turned to face him once again, giving a dark laugh,
"Do not be so sure my Lord."
His eyebrows scrunched down, and though his exact emotion was not decipherable, she could tell he was far from pleased with her response.
She walked closer to him, so close she could feel the heat from his body, and found herself wondering if he could smell her intentions. She waited for him to move away, increasing the distance between them.
Instead, he stood perfectly still, the picture of control.
She hated him for it…
But, more than that, she loved him for it too.
Perhaps he would not understand, but it was the only way she could tell him her heart…
"My Lord, Kagome-chan once told me that you know you've never been in love if you have never seriously contemplated murdering the one you are in love with…"
His eyebrows shot up, but still he did not move.
Rin gave a rueful laugh, and a genuine smile before she continued,
"And right now… I swear to all the Kami… I wish I could kill you."
Then, in one smooth motion, she leaned forward, slamming her mouth to his, fisting his haori as if her weak human hold could keep him there, if he truly wanted to flee.
She pulled back, her eyes still closed as she made to turn from him, fully expecting him to either strike her down for her presumptuousness, or walk away and never come back.
With either option she would be as good as dead… one former would simply be swifter, and in her opinion, infinitely more kind…
Instead he grabbed her arm and the force spun her around, and she stumbled backwards, stopping when her back was against 'their' tree.
He pushed himself against her, pressing his body to hers, and in this moment she was grateful he usually chose to forgo his armor during their visits, now that they were no longer 'at war' with a dark hanyou.
She could feel his panting, and his youkai wind swirled lightly around her, whipping her hair. She winced… she had really done it now…
He put his lips against the shell of her ear, and breathed to her,
"And this Sesshomaru has wanted to end your wretched life every single day since you were eight years old."
She looked down and away, fighting back her tears.
He gripped her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him,
"But he never will, Rin… and do you know why?"
Her eyes were large as saucers, and barely a breath escaped her as she struggled to say,
"No, I don't"
He looked at her, almost… sadly then… before sounding as if he were choking on his words,
"Neither do I."
He slammed his mouth to hers, forcing her lips apart and kissing her with an unparalled hunger.
Only then did she realized what he was trying to tell her…

They were married three days later.
