Chapter 11: Sesshoumaru and Rin:
**The night the ghost was seen**
Rin and her mother sat crouched by a bush, as they watched in horror as her father fought with the crow Youkai general of the eastern lands. “Azuni! Take Rin to safety!” He yelled as he unsuccessfully dodged an attack by the bird’s talons.
Azuni knew this was a battle that would not be easily won, if it were won at all. Quickly she scooped up the seven year old girl, and ran to the edge of the near by village. She sat the little Rin down and placed a hand on the girls shoulder, the other she positioned for chanting. She began the spell as light covered the girls body. When the light faded she spoke, “Rin, run to the village and find someone to help you. The spell will help. It will be broken when you find love.”
A scream was heard by the dying man in the woods. Azuni looked over her shoulder and then back to the girl. She quickly kissed the top of the girls head, then stood. “Hurry! And don’t come after me!” With that she ran off into the woods. Rin stood frozen in fear, and crying, till she heard her mothers scream and then silence. She then turned to the village and ran, afraid the crow would follow her.
**********
Sesshoumaru sat at the base of a near by tree, and watched as the little girl by the fire, tossed about in a fitful sleep. He always hated it when she would dream about her parents deaths. At times, she would dream about her own death. Although, over the past three years, the nightmares seemed to be coming less often. Sesshoumaru would never admit it to any one, and at times not even to himself. But all he wanted out of life any more, was to make that littler girl happy, and to see her beautiful smile. He scoffed at his own thought. “A human girl? What a joke!”
Suddenly Rin sat up panting and holding her chest. She scanned the area for her love. Spotting him at the base of the tree, he seemed not to notice her waking. The full blue moon, shone on him making his entire body seem to glow. His silver hair softly blew in the breeze that kissed his stoic frame. A knee bent, his arm resting on the appendage. He raised his head to gaze at the stars. Yes, to her, he was the most beautiful creature in the world. How was she going to show him she loved him and was older than she looked?
She stood, and hesitantly walked to stand beside him. Rin didn’t say a word, only looked down at her hands as they fumbled with the hem of her kimono. Sesshoumaru didn’t make a sound, nor did he say a word, as he removed his armor and laid it to rest on his other side. Raising his knee again, he held back his fluff (Tail? What is that thing anyway?) as if to invite her to sit in his lap. She didn’t look at his face but complied, and snuggled her cheek, and hand, upon his chest. When she was settled, he wrapped his fluff, as well as his arm, around her small frame. A small stint of torturous silence lingered before he spoke.
“This Sesshoumaru suspects you heard what the late tai youkai said about your spell.” This was more of a statement than a question, however, he still expected an answer.
“Yes milord. But Rin already knew about the spell.” The girl answered. A little shocked, she wasn’t expecting him to talk about this so soon.
“You knew and didn’t tell this Sesshoumaru?” Surprising, even to him, he felt a little hurt. Though his face and tone told no such thing, the thought that this little girl could keep a thing like this from him was…shocking. Didn’t he save her life? Didn’t he care for her? How could she keep something like this from him? Did she not trust him?
“Rin did not see it to be necessary to bother you, lord Sesshoumaru, with such a petty thing. You have more important things to tend to than Rin.” Her statement was not a “poor me” statement, It was, simply, very matter of fact.
That was it for him. It sickened him, in a way, how this tiny human child seemed to hold his heart in the palm of her hands. He belonged to no one but himself. How was she able to do this to him? Sesshoumaru of the western lands? The “Perfect killer”? But this tiny being came into his life, and she made him feel small. She seemed to have a power over him not any of the kami’s could explain. How did she do it? How could she be so selfless? She would put him before her self in anything. Why? The growth of something, he couldn’t help but admit, had been hiding, began to ebb it’s way to the front of his mind. He positioned his arm to hook her chin with a deadly clawed finger. For the first time either of them could ever remember, their eye’s locked. The truth of what, and who, she was spoke volumes through her chocolate depths. Her true age and maturity shone through at that moment. In his heart, he knew there was no denying his father was right. The shell the girl was in was a lie, and through her eye’s, he saw her real form.
“Rin, do not ever think, this Sesshoumaru, finds your life, or what happens in it, to be petty. You are my first priority, and I demand you enlighten things such as this. Thing’s of importance, should not be ignored.”
“Yes milord.” she said trying to look away in shame.
Sesshoumaru gave her chin a slight jerk to fix her eye’s back on his. “No! you will call me by my given name. Sesshoumaru.”
“Yes….Sesshoumaru.”
The great inu youkai, the one man so many feared, the “killing perfection”, let the last of his walls crumble into dust for this girl. Something happened in him, and he knew she was for him. The great Sesshoumaru never felt love before, and it was suffocating him. Her brown eye’s seemed to speak love, and longing, to his very soul. He sighed, and let go of her chin, and closed his eye’s. The youkai couldn’t bare at the moment to see the façade of flesh that wrapped the girls body. The flesh that was deceiving his eyes, that the grown woman he now knew she was, was nothing but a child. Turning his eye’s skyward, he asked. “What do you know about mating?”
“Rin’s mother was afraid that she would be gone before having a chance to tell her. Rin was told at a young age.” She blushed, and looked back to her hands that were folded in her lap.
He was beginning to feel relief. There were some things he just didn’t want to have to explain. Looking back at the girl who was shyly looking away, he huffed, “Do you know about your heat cycle?”
“Though Rin has never had one, yes, Rin knows,” was her answer.
“And you know mating with me would produce a hanyou?”
“Yes”
Though the thought of a hanyou goaded him for a moment, he remembered that Inuyasha proved that a hanyou could be a strong being. That eased his mind, along with the thought that this precious girl, strike that, WOMAN, would be the one giving him the hanyou. It made it seem so sweet. With his thumb and index finger he turned her head to face him, he moved his head and almost brushed his lips to hers. She closed her eye’s as did he, as slowly and softly pressed his lips to hers.
A gust of wind blew fiercely as the kiss lingered. Suddenly, he felt her weight was heavier on his legs, and the lengthening of her torso caused him to raise his head to meet the height. He then pulled back and opened his eye’s. She was absolutely beautiful. Her breast were perfect and perky. Her arms and legs, were long, and lean. The woman’s whole body was, to him, a work of art, perfectly sculpted from the palest marble. Rin’s kimono, was dangerously short, and the once narrow opening around her neck was open, giving him a preview of her soft mounds. She looked over her own body, then at him. Tears that threatened to spill made her eye’s shine. She reached up and touched his face.
“Sesshoumaru, I…love you. I have for so long.”
He hesitated. Not because he didn’t reciprocate, but because he had never felt this way before. He responded the only truthful and safe way he could.
“And I, you. Though it took learning your true self to realize it.” Like InuYasha, he found sudden ease to express himself to his intended. Though it was veiled in, typical, Sesshoumaru fashion. It freighted him more than he wanted to admit.
He dove his hand in the back of her thick black hair, and passionately buried his lips to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, never wanting to let go. If the kiss were pure fire it would have set the forest ablaze.
Rin eye’s spilled tears as the kiss ended, and she looked into her love’s eye’s. Sesshoumaru assisted Rin in standing, as he did the same. He then crouched and hoisted Rin over his shoulder, and faster than a humans eye’s could see, he ran. Deep into the forest, he stopped when he came across a small patch of soft grass in a tiny clearing. The girl who was now showing her true age, was set on her feet. Sesshoumaru removed his outer robes and, never once saying a word, his face still as stone, he lay it on the ground to create a safe place to lay his soon to be mate. The youkai turned to the girl, and as if she could read his mind, she sat on the make shift futon. He then sat on his knees in front of her. The tai youkai reached his hand up to touch her face, letting his claws graze her cheek, all the while, being mindful of their deadliness. His face and demeanor never wavered, however, one could couldn’t help but admit that love and admiration shone through his eye’s for the beautiful girl. Sesshoumaru leaned in and kissed his beloved.
Keeping his lips on hers, he began to untie the knot of the girls too small kimono. Sesshoumaru himself had never done anything like this before. As it’s well known, Inu youkai mate for life, and he never saw any woman he met to be of the quality one as he would deserve. Who would have thought, that it would be a human, who would be worthy of his love? He separated the two ends of the kimono, and pushed it off of her shoulders. Pushing her body down with his own while still kissing her, he then sat back to take in the sight of her. Watching her mounds rise and fall with her heavy breathing, he removed his under shirt. She gasped loudly when she saw how perfect his upper body was. Sesshoumaru looked as if a skilled artist had carved him from the worlds hardest stone. He took her hand and placed it on his chest. Rin felt the steady rhythm of the youkai’s heart on her fingertips, as he leaned in and took her breast in his mouth. The girls delicate hand causing his skin to catch fire.
She startled him when he felt her hands reach down, and began to untie the knot holding his hakama. His only reaction to the act being a low pleasing growl, that rumbled within his chest. He leaned back and used his clawed finger to rip through her fundoshi, letting the tattered ends fall away. Rising himself to his feet, he finished removing his hakama, his eye’s never leaving Rin’s. The girl turned woman, was at that moment frightened. She knew what was to come, and his size was rather large. Sesshoumaru caught the fear in Rin’s scent, though, it was difficult to discern, since her rapidly maturing sent mixed with her girlish one, making it near impossible for him to distinguish which scent was which. He wondered for a moment, how long it would take for him to tell which scent meant what, since it is different from person to person, and age to age. Back to the matter at hand, he quickly lowered himself to were he could touch her face with his only hand to help calm her nerves. He kissed her softly on the lips.
“Rin, there will be pain. This Sesshoumaru promises it will pass.” he whispered lovingly.
Rin nodded as he raked his claws down her chest, then stomach, causing her to shiver with excitement. In the dark and shadows, a small smile could be seen on the ever stoic Inu youkai face. Her reactions were so pleasing, he wasn’t sure if he could hold out too much longer. He wanted to please her, and if she continued to react this way his control was going to go right out the window.
The youkai lowered his head to her lower stomach and placed his hand to her hip. He breathed in deep, to smell her to her very core. Then lickeing her across her stomach, and stopped to kiss her right hip bone. Her breathing was heavy, as she released small whimpers and moans. Sesshoumaru lightly bared his fangs on her hip. He began to growl in a way that she had never heard. It was frightening, and sounded so very deadly. He then bit down on her hip causing it to bleed into his mouth. Rin screamed, partly out of pain, partly out of fear. Her youkai lover then began to suck the wound till the bleeding had stopped.
“I apologize, Rin. This was a mating ritual. The marking.”
Rin just whimpered and nodded. She trusted him, she always had and always would. He then began to kiss the wound and surrounding area, then trailed his tongue to the spot that her intoxicating scent was coming from. The woman gasped, when she felt his tongue begin to lick and suck on her sensitive nub and folds. She began to involuntarily lift, and drop her hips with his movements. Sesshoumaru growled into her body, and it caused her to cry out. Slowly, her lower body began to tighten. This was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She would love this man till the day she died, and would spend all night making love to the beautiful inu. The tightness she felt became too much to handle, and was released in a pulsating sense of pleasure. Sesshoumaru, again smiled apon her body, as he felt the pulsating on his lips, and heard her cry’s of his name.
He then rose up to her face, and kissed her, with a longing and passion he never though was possible. The inu considerately dove his member deep into her core. She cried out in pain as tears rolled out of her eyes. Sesshoumaru felt sorry for hurting her, but knew it would pass. So he paused for a moment, kissing her, to allow her the chance to adjust to him. He then thrust himself into her again, keeping at a slow steady pace till he felt her body relax. Then, he began working her, as if he would never see her again. Sweat poured from her body, as She felt drops of sweat from his brow, land on her chest. The tightness began to come back, and she began to buck her hips in time with his thrust, as she ran her hands up and down his chest and whispered his name.
In one last hard thrust Sesshoumaru reached his release. The tempo of his seed’s expulsion sent her over the edge, squeezing every drop from his body. He collapsed on her chest, and buried his lips on hers. He never felt so frantic to let someone know that he cared. Was this what is was suppose to feel like? Shock waves went through his body, as he felt her wrap her arms around his neck, and thrust her tongue into his mouth. This feeling he had for her now was scary. He loved her, wanted her, he wanted to protect her. The thought of what he would do to one that would try to cause harm to her, caused him to growl. A moment ago he loved her. Right now, at this moment, he was in love with her. Consumed by her, as his heart felt close to exploding. He rolled to the side and pulled her to face him. Sesshoumaru held onto her for dear life as she ran her hands up and down his back. A small smile graced her lips as she heard what he said.
“This Sesshoumaru love’s you, Rin. And I promise to always protect you.”
She drifted off to sleep to the sound of his rhythmic breathing.

*Ten years in Kagome’s past*
The Seven year old Kagome sat crouched at the top of the stairs. It had been two weeks since her father was last seen. Nobody knew what happened to him. He said he was going to “look into the past”, his code for tending to the shrine relics. Then he was gone. She listened as her mother cried to the police officer, who was taking note’s for the missing persons report.
“He took off his ring, like he always does, before tending to the relics, and walked out the door. I didn’t see him again after that.” She looked down at the one year old boy that was crying in his play pen. Absentmindedly, she said, “He always said that his grandfather told him, angry sprits would leave curses on wedding rings destroying the marriage.”
“Mrs. Higurashi, did he leave any notes? Was his behavior any different?”
“No,” she answered, as she tried to calm the little Souta, who was calling for his daddy. Kagome pulled her knees to her little chest, and began to cry.
Why did he leave? Didn’t he know how much her mother and Souta needed him? Didn’t he know how much she needed him? The floor boards behind her creaked. Her tear stained face turned around to see her grandfather. He looked lost, and distraught. She jumped up and ran to him throwing her arms around him. She bawled into his chest.
“Why did he go, Jii-chan?”
“I don’t know, sweetie.”
“I miss him.”
“So do I Kagome. So do I.”
A/N: Ok, well I thought that Sesshoumaru was rather sweet to Rin. Now that you guys know what happened to Kagome’s father you’ll know a little better now what happens next. Please review!
