A Final Act of Healing

 

He would never truly comprehend how he had gotten here. In the beginning, he had been a guilt-ridden youth, wallowing in remorse and self-pity. In short, he was completely broken. For months he watched passively as life moved on without him. His sister bore children, but he held no affinity for his new nieces. He continued to live detached from everyone, not permitting himself more than a shred of human contact.

 

That is, until she came along. He pushed her away initially, just as he had done with all the other boys and girls who had tried to make friends with him. The difference was that she had come back; neither insults nor being ignored could make this damn girl leave him alone! Couldn't she see that he was trying to flounder in misery here?! Apparently not, because she kept pestering him, to no avail.

 

Then one day she had plopped herself by his side, sobbing unashamedly. Eventually, his curiosity got the better of him, and he asked her why she was crying. It had just been some stupid argument with another girl, but things were never the same after that. They became friends, his first since the tragedy. He still remembered the day she made him smile for the first time in years. She had stumbled in a puddle, and came up looking like some sort of mud monster. The expression felt so foreign to him at the time, but it had become a fixture of his visage when she was around ever since. Now, he found he couldn't stop himself from beaming.

 

Of course, it hadn't all been happy times. They both resisted the new turn their relationship took as they got older, neither willing to go beyond the bounds of friendship for something more unknown, and frightening. Twice he had hurt her deeply and wound up with Sesshoumaru's clawed hand around his neck. The father did not take kindly to some `pathetic human' who would upset his daughter. Both times the youkai lord had left his fate up to Rin, and both times she had forgiven him.

 

And now he was here, hovering above her on the futon. They were married, and not two minutes ago they had been at the celebration, he blushing hotly as the men elbowed him conspiratorially in the side and whispered `encouragements' into his ear. Looking down at her, he was quite literally struck speechless. No description, no matter how eloquent, could ever hope to do her justice. No words could explain how beautiful she was to him, in body and so much more. She saved him, gave him a reason to live. She had given him his life back, and he would spend the rest of his days devoting his life to her.

 

But as to the here and now, he felt like a lost little boy again. He had no idea what to do next, and Rin apparently suffered from the same dilemma; her eyes were wider than he had ever seen them before. He guessed that kissing her was a good place to start; they had done that before, after all. It was when they passed beyond mere kissing that they would start to venture into unfamiliar territory.

 

He quickly discovered that there was far more to kissing than he had thought. The lips were not meant to remain stationary, and the tongue was not relegated to the status of a bystander. As she plundered his mouth, teasing his tongue with gentle but demanding caresses, he briefly wondered where she had learned such a thing. Probably Kagome…

 

The tight string on his libido snapped, and he pushed her forcefully back into the futon, his lips dominating hers. Any concerns that he was being too rough evaporated as her plaintive mewls reached his ears, more pleasing to him than the finest music. They attacked each other with ardor, again and again, only pausing to catch ragged breaths. But none of that conviction flowed below the neck, as they hesitantly loosened ties and removed clothing with shaking hands. Kissing became a way to avoid looking at each other and moving on to the next step. But eventually, the press of their naked upper bodies became too exhilarating.

 

He raised himself on his arms, his mouth going dry at the sight before him. To see that she felt the same amazement, as well as apprehension made removing the rest of their clothing much easier for him. Suddenly, he was very glad his brother-in-law had seen fit to give him advice for this night. Left to his own devices, he was sure he would have quite literally dived right in and condemned her to a pleasure-less experience. And he truly wanted to pleasure her.

 

He lay down by her side, gazing lovingly at her flushed face, watching her reaction as his hands explored her body. His fingers quested endlessly, searching for the places that would make her eyes roll up in the back of her head, her breath hitch and gasp. Toying with her breasts wrung throaty moans from her, the sounds boosting his confidence as well as the rigidity he felt down below. When he finally reached his true destination, he found her wet, and several more minutes of ministrations at her core had her soaking. Insistent tugging on his shoulders signaled her readiness, and without further prompting he positioned himself between her legs.

 

For the next small eternity they were connected, one being. Crushed by her pain, he was buoyed when it faded and gradually morphed into something else. Higher and higher they climbed, toward the blinding light in the distance that finally arrived with simultaneous explosions of rapture. As they lay panting in each other's arms afterward, he shed a single tear. With this final act of healing, she had freed his soul from its self-imposed shackles. Kohaku slept soundly that night, and for the first time in many years, dreamt of the future instead of the past.
