AN: Setsunamoonie, you read my mind. Midori and I were just discussing the fact that Rin is starting to look like a punk and that I needed to bring that kick butt attitude back!!!

Everyone else, sorry the last chapter was so short, I did it that way because this chap. will be covering quite a lot of ground, those on MM and AFF will really know what I mean

 

 

“Hi, honey, I'm home,” Kenji greeted as he shut the door Sesshomaru's office behind him. The Cheshire grin grew as he witnessed Sesshomaru roll his eyes in annoyance. “Ooh, you're slipping, I saw a facial expression.”

 

Sesshomaru put down the files that he was previously pretending to be reading. “What is so pressing, Lord Kenji that you have entered my office without permission and greet me so informally?”

 

Kenji nodded reverently. “What is it, Lord Sesshomaru that is stuck so far up your backside that you refer to your childhood friend in this manner?”

 

“Stop being facetious,” Sesshomaru barked. There was no talking to the kitsune; he always had something inappropriate to say.

 

“I am just being myself.” Kenji sat down on the edge of Sesshomaru's desk. “You were always a bit snotty as a child, but we still had fun. Now as an adult, I wonder what happened.”

 

“The same thing that happens to everyone else, I matured.”

 

Kenji's eyes widened in shock and he grasped his chest as though he had been wounded. “Say it isn't so, Sess,” he pleaded in mock distress. Sesshomaru merely looked at him then reached to push Kenji on to floor.

 

“My desk is not for sitting, you're as bad as Inu Yasha,” he muttered. A slight gleam of mischief brewed for a moment as he sat back down. The damn fox always knew how to get at him; if this kept up he would fall back into the same patterns again.

 

“That was mean,” Kenji replied as he got up gracefully, “but effective. I see your sense of humor hasn't entirely died.” He sat down. “That is good to know. I can cancel the memorial service I was going to hold for it.”

 

A slight cough escaped followed by amber eyes narrowing for the lapse in decorum. “State your business, Kenji.”

 

The fox leaned forward. “Just so you know, I noticed that laugh you tried to hide.” Sesshomaru growled lowly. “Don't growl at me. It's true.”

 

“You are pushing your luck.”

 

“Fine, I leave you alone…for now,” Kenji sighed. “What happened to the days of our youth, when we used to run about restaging battles and playing tricks on the unsuspecting? You remember that time we went on our own border patrol without permission and were gone for two days because it rained during a skirmish washing our trail away? The way I recall it, you got me into trouble.”

 

“That made up for all the times I spent in my room as punishment for participating in your hair brained plans.” A slight smirked formed on his face. “Our parents were furious when they found us. Seeing Lady Asuka so angry was disturbing.”

 

“My mother always did have quite a temper. She always got riled up so easily. It's a wonder that she did not kill us.”

 

“That was only because my father and Lord Shinji were holding her back,” Sesshomaru pointed out. Kenji laughed as the memory played in his mind. “However in the end she had the victory when she punished both of us.”

 

Kenji frowned. “Two weeks spent in your room was punishment enough. All you had were books and weapons.”

 

“All you had you had in yours were puzzles and riddles. It was ridiculous.”

 

“Ah, memories,” he sighed, “but that's not why I came here. Let's talk business.”

 

“Finally an explanation.” Sesshomaru shook his head. The fox had done it to him again, getting him caught up in the past. He had other things on his mind besides child hood shenanigans and things. “What is this visit about besides new attempts at pestering me?”

 

“That's exactly why I am here,” he thought before clearing his throat. “I want Rin.”

 

“You what?” he asked his stoicism dropping for a moment in shock. The shock was quickly replaced by anger as Kenji started laughing. Sesshomaru stood to his feet. He was debating on whether killing the kitsune was really worth the war. They were nearly equal strength, what Sesshomaru lacked in brawn he made up in tactics.

 

Seeing the dangerous look in Sesshomaru's eyes Kenji stopped laughing. The subject seemed to be a little sorer than he thought for his old friend. He was pretty sure that he could hold his own against the dog demon, but it would come with a price. “Calm down, Sess. I was just testing you; get the murderous look out of your eyes. There was only one woman for me and she no longer exists.”

 

“Hmm.” Sesshomaru sat down in his chair. That was twice today and now Kenji knew that he has claims on Rin. He would be on the verge of embarrassment if he allowed himself to feel so.

 

“What are your intentions towards her?”

 

“None of your business.”

 

“Wrong,” Kenji said seriously. “I have become rather close to her the last few months and I am making it my business. Despite her demeanor she is naïve about the ways companionship and you have already take her purity.”

 

A silver eyebrow rose. “I intend to…” his sentence trailed and a growl escaped him as his keen eyes spied something in the club below. Kenji turned to see what the matter was. Hmmm…this would not do.

“Rin, do you have a copy?”

 

“Yes, go ahead,” Rin replied while she walked the outer ring of the pit.

 

“I need to speak to you about something,” Kagome's voice said over the air. “I'm in VIP.”

 

Rin sighed inwardly. She wanted to be alone and she wanted to stay as far away from VIP as possible. Just being the area of the elevator was enough to make her hot, bothered, and flushed, however the call of duty was something she could not ignore. “I am on my way.” She moved from the railing and turned quickly bumping into a patron. “Excuse me.”

 

The woman in front of him was a vision. A lithe body wrapped in orange. It suited her quite well. A red chiffon baby doll halter and tight orange silk pants, already his mind was working on the quickest way to rid her of her garments. Imagery of flying orange fabric brought a bigger smile to his face followed by removing the hair pins holding the raven locks off her delectable neck.

 

“No excuse me,” he apologized taking in her appearance and scent. A light flowery scent emanated from her. She was just starting her fertility cycle. But there was another scent as well, light…another male. His eyes quickly went to her neck and saw no mark. She was still free for the taking. Perhaps he would be lucky after all. “The name's Hasai. Dance with me, beautiful.”

 

“No thanks, I am working.” She pointed to her headset. “Now if you'll excuse me.”

 

Hasai grabbed her by the arm. “I am sure you can spare me just one dance. I am a faithful patron after all.”

 

“Fine,” she sighed, “one dance.”

 

“Great,” he said pulling her claustrophobically close. He plucked the wire from the battery pack that rested on her orange waist. “No interruptions.”

 

“What the hell are you doing?” Rin asked pushing away. Hasai pulled her closer to him and held her there. Fear dared to creep into her being as he sniffed the base of her neck.

 

Hasai closed his eyes. “You smell so good. I'm glad I was the one nearest to you when it started. It's so strong now. I could take you right here.”

 

“Let me go,” Rin commanded trying to push away from him.

 

“No, you are mine now, get used to it,” he replied his light eyes taking on a dark color.

 

Brown eyes narrowed in recognition. “I will tell you only one more time, demon, let me go.”

 

“Feisty aren't we?” he asked his claws biting into her arms.

 

“You have no idea,” she replied digging her heal into his instep. Hasai howled in pain as let her go.

 

“You bitch,” he snarled.

 

“You bastard.” Rin punched him in the face then grabbed him by the neck to knee him the chest. He crumbled to the floor and she stared at him breathing hard. A crowd was starting to form, but she did not give a damn. She was tempted to kick him to make sure he was down and out, but she would let the bouncers take care of it. Their little outburst had drawn enough attention that Inu Yasha or someone would be there soon. “No means no,” she muttered before turning around and wading through the small crowd.

 

“I'm not finished,” Hasai jumped to his feet.

 

Rin turned around quickly. So he was not going to down without a fight? Good she had been looking for an excuse to hurt him and it would be self-defense too. A smile crossed her face as her hands reached into her hair then she frowned. "Look, buddy, she said no," one of the spectators replied stepping forward. Another knight in shinning armor… damn.

"Stay out of this, human," Hasai snapped. "This is between us."

The man shook his head and stepped in between Rin and Hasai. "Make me."

A sneer formed on Hasai's face as he raised his clawed hand. "I would love to," he replied. He was going to give this human the maiming of his life, if he lived anyway. However, Hasai's plan was cut short when, he was tackled by bouncers.

"I can't take this." Rin pushed through the crowd. She had to get out of there or she was going to lose her mind. There was just too much going on, why was her life was so complicated? What she would not give to have her old life? Work consumed her and she did not need anyone nor want anyone around. Now her mind was filled with idiotic naggings, it was ridiculous! It was almost like she was 10 years old again, when being friendly was the most important thing to her. Of course being friendly and caring lost her everything. "Damn, I didn't want to think about that again."

"Inu Yasha, there's Rin," Kagome sighed as she made her way over to the distraught looking girl. "She looks upset."

"Let her go." He grabbed Kagome's arm and shook his head.

"But what about…."

"Rin's a hot head, she's better alone," he answered. "Besides, he won't let anything happen to her."

Kagome looked at him in confusion for a moment then caught his drift. She smiled then hugged him. "You're so sweet you know that?"

Inu Yasha shook his head and wrinkled his nose in disgust. "She's still a bitch," he replied, "but she's tolerable." Kagome kissed his cheek.

Outside of the club, Rin stalked off towards her hotel. It was only fifteen or so blocks and with her temper roaring the way it was, she needed the walk. Who knew maybe she would get lucky and she would find some jerk who needed his ass kicked. "Why in the world…" There was someone behind her.

Rin stopped. She was only four blocks out and already she found trouble, that was highly unexpected, but this was the big city at night. She turned around and saw a dark haired man staring at her as though he had been expecting her. He smiled with an air of superiority revealing fangs, a demon. Perhaps her night was shaping up after all, she needed a good fight. There would have to be heavy improvisation, but her eyes managed to glance of several items that could easily become weapons. “Well now,” he smirked sniffing in her direction. He took a step forward into the moonlight.

 

The color drained out of Rin's face for a moment as fear threatened to take hold. He was wolf demon. She took a step back and it was then that she recaptured her moxy. Brown eyes blazed as she reached for her chop sticks. Raven locks fell down around her shoulders. She hated wolves with a passion. Wolf demons killed her family. It was her fault, but she had a way to atone for that mistake. There was about to one less wolf in the world. “Don't even think about it.”

 

“So you are going to make this fun.” He moved sideways suddenly then flinched. He smiled as he brought his hands to his cheek. “You drew first.”

 

Holding the other chop stick delicately in between her fingers, she observed her prey. She could win this as long as she played this smart. This was not the first time she had been caught in a situation barely armed, that time with Kagura was a fluke. There would be no interference this time. It was her and the wolf. “And it won't be the last.”

 

“Well see about that,” he growled just before he rushed at her. Rin smiled as he moved towards her. She had predicted his next move perfectly. Her body fell back as he pounced her and a triumphant gleam appeared in his eyes. That was until he found himself moving too far forward. Using their momentum Rin disarmed his attack and knocked him into the wall behind her. The wolf hit the brick wall with a human bone breaking crunch then slid upside down on his head.

 

Rin jumped quickly to her feet and kicked off her shoes as she prepared her next move. If that demon was worth even the smallest pillar of salt, he would only be stunned and very angry. “I know you can do better than that, demon.”

 

The demon jumped to his feet snarling. No human was going to make a fool out him and get away with it. He would double his pleasure with her death. She would beg for mercy when he was done with her. He prepared to attack her again when he paused. Her stance was too calm and she was into too much control. An idea formed in his head, as he thought of way to take her down a peg without too much conflict. He did not want to completely ruin his good time. “You haven't seen anything, yet,” he hissed before releasing poison from his throat.

 

Rin turned away in shock and pain. Her eyes were burning. She managed to dodge some of the blast but clearly not enough as she felt herself being pushed up against the wall. “Damn,” she screamed out. Why the hell did she have to be so weak? She jammed her chopstick into his thigh just as ripped the side of her pants.

 

“Bitch,” he howled in pain. He back handed her across the back of the head. Rin slid to the ground unconscious. This would be the last time he went for the fighter type, they were too much trouble. “Now you're mine.”

 

“Correction,” Sesshomaru replied as he swung out his whip, “she is mine.”

12-12-12

 

“Mmmm,” Rin sighed some time later as she opened her eyes. She rubbed them a few times trying to focus, but could not seem to for some reason. “Wait a minute, I was in an alley…how did I...?” her mind panicked as leapt off of whatever she had been previously sleeping on. She feverishly felt around trying to figure out her surroundings. Her sight was too blurry to make out details of objects, the best she could do was make out shapes.

 

“Rin, what are you doing?” Sesshomaru asked from across the room.

 

Rin's heart sank momentarily. She did not want him to see her like this. “Trying to find my way out of here.”

 

“I do not suggest leaving for several hours. The poison will have to work its course.” He walked over to her and lifted her into his arms. “Please explain why you left the club? It was highly inappropriate to travel alone.”

 

“I can take care of myself,” she snapped trying to fight the blush that was warming her cheeks. He placed her onto the bed again; well what she figured was the bed. Her flush deepened as she put together about where she was. Great it was not enough that she had profane thoughts about him and that they did the deed in the elevator, now she had to be in his personal space. “You don't know where you are Rin; you might be at Kagome's.” Rin cleared her throat. “Where am I?”

 

“My penthouse,” he answered simply.

 

This was unacceptable. Rin crawled to what she believed to be the edge of the bed and ended up stumbling into Sesshomaru's lap. “Move.”

 

“No, you are to stay here.” Even though Rin could not see it, he was highly amused by her behavior. Defying him to the very end.

 

“I refused to stay here with you in this place,” she said angrily while trying to right her body without touching anything personal. Being draped across his body was doing nothing for her constitution.

 

“You are injured.”

 

“I'm fine,” she snapped back pedaling onto the bed. She lay on her back for a moment. This was stupid.

 

“You still have not explained yourself.”

 

Rin sat up and looked in his general direction. At least there was some saving grace she could not actually see him so she would not get so distracted. “I don't need to explain myself to you anybody else, so you can….” Her sentence trailed when he pinned her down against the sheets.

 

“Why do you always feel the need defy me, woman?” he snarled looking down at her.

 

“The same reason you always feel the need to make my life difficult,” she answered staring into his eyes. She could not make them out but she knew they had to be flashing in anger right about now. They were entirely too close. “Let me go.”

 

“No.” He kissed her deeply.

 

Rin felt her eyes drifted shut. They were going to complicate things again. This was what she wanted and could not have. “Sesshomaru,” she moaned into his mouth.

 

“Not this time,” he replied kissing her neck. The other males' scent had faded and all that remained rose oil musk. His body was quick in it's response to the closeness. Every since the elevator encounter, it had been yearning for the intimacy. He had to have her and despite her protest she felt the same way. Her body was betraying her and telling all of her secrets.

 

“I can't,” she sighed. Her fingers wound around silver locks yet again. It was though she was just a puppet and someone was willing her to move. Liquid heat pooled between legs as he lit her body on fire from his touches. Before she knew it, her clothes had been liberated from her body and she was holding herself shyly.

 

Sesshomaru watched her for a moment admiring her physique. Raven hair framed her face and playfully hid some of her attributes. She was a sight with her arms wrapped around her body shyly, the epitome of innocence. He had a feeling this was the real her underneath the sarcasm and disdain. It was provocative to see this change in her. “Rin,” he growled lowly. He ran his fingers through her hair. “Mine.”

 

Brown eyes looked upward and shook her head. “Not yours.”

 

“Mine,” he said forcefully crushing his lips against hers. He would make her admit it, if it was the last thing he did.

 

A soft sigh sounded from Rin, her body was betraying her and his behavior was clouding her judgment. It was so much easier to give in for now, she would figure out how to get out of this cycle later. “Sesshomaru.” Her hands made her way to his white shirt. A sick and twisted sense of joy formed in her being as she ripped the material apart sending buttons every where. Little did she know this only made him want her more. No other female undressed him much less ripped his garments off his body. It was quite alluring.

 

“You'll pay for that,” he whispered playfully. He kissed the side of her delicious neck.

 

“Take it out of my salary.” She grinned pushing his pants downward so he could wriggle out of them. Rin climbed into his lap. Her vision was hazy otherwise she would have flushed at the beauty of his body as she straddled him. She also missed the look of shock and surprise on his face. This was the last time as far as she was concerned; she might as well make this one count.

 

Letting her own desires and instincts get into the front seat, she moved against his already hardening member. She would make sure that he never forgot this night. “Rin,” he groaned softly while he let her have her way. Did she know how crazy she was making him? Grinding against him like that was going to make him lose the little control he had. Between her intoxicating scent and the desire he had been denying for the past few months, he was going to lose it. Once she started nibbling on his highly sensitive ears and breathing so erotically, his second level of control melted away.

 

“You like this?” she whispered into ear as she allowed him to slide in between her warm tight folds. The first ring of muscle gripped him tightly. His hands went to her hips and pushed her down further slowly. He did not want to hurt her like last time, but by the gods he wanted to ram himself into her until he nearly went blind from the pleasure and passed out. Was such a thing even possible? He was more than willing to sacrifice himself in the same of science to find out at this point. “Hmmm.”

 

A smile worked its way on to her face. He felt so good inside of her. Then of course she was reeking habit on his precious control, the one thing he cherished above all else. “I'm going to make you lose control,” she breathed into his ear. She ran her nails down his back and she made a trail of kisses down his neck. His paced changed causing her to suck in a breath at his unspoken challenge. She had to stay some what grounded, he was not going to win this time and so she bit him on his collar in order to keep her sanity. Without meaning to, she drew blood. A tinge of excitement ran through her at causing him such an erotic injury. “That's going to leave a mark.”

 

She licked it playfully then leaned back as he grabbed a fistful of her hair. Rin imagined he was annoyed by the way he grabbed her roughly and only growled. She grabbed him by head and brought him to her. The last thought that went through her mind before he kissed her hungrily was whether her eyesight was failing her completely because all she could make out was a red tinge where his eyes were. “Mine,” he growled lowly as he pulled away from her and tossed her onto the bed.

 

Rin was shocked and insulted for a moment at the sudden change when she remembered their love in the elevator. At this point she was just want to finish, her pride was not about to leave her hot and bothered. She got down on all fours and shook her behind for him teasingly. She screamed out in pleasure when slid in deeply into her. It was enough to make her crazy and it was not long before she was on the brink of ecstasy. His name was falling from her lips instead of breaths now and with each one he moved harder against her. Inner muscles started to tighten and clitoris throbbed as she was suddenly catapulted over the edge. “Oh…” she could not even form the rest of whatever she was going to say. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was heaven and nothing could bring her down. Not even the slight prick on her shoulder from her lover's bite as he reached his own release. He was holding her tight against him the upright position as they came down slowly. She was barely aware of anything as she went numb. He was the only thing holding her and judging by the quivering of his own body, they both about to collapse. “Oh god, I love you…” she whispered before succumbing to haze of sleep.

I think we know who belongs to whom in this fan fiction. The characters of Inu Yasha belong to their creator, Rumiko Takahashi and everyone she leased them out to, me not being one of them.
