The Hunt

 

A/N: Ok, I was going to finish “The Things We Do For Love” before I did anything else, but gosh darn it, Wicked Oni updated, and Fallenangel updated, and their stories left me so frustrated (in a good way). So I decided to let my frustration take over, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy it, and if you don't . . . well at least it's out of my system! LOL! This is an One-Shot and it's going to stay a one-shot!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*

 

She raced through the woods as fast as her legs would carry her. Her muscles ached from the deprivation of oxygen, but she couldn't stop. She had to keep running no matter what. Adrenaline pumped through her veins dulling the pain. Beads of perspiration formed on her forehead, and the multi-layers of her kimono clung to her, her under-robe molding to her like a second skin. Sweat dripped down her face into her eyes, blurring her vision slightly.

 

She couldn't let him catch her . . . not again.

 

He said he was going to punish her. She could remember his words clearly. “ I'm going to exert punishment on every part of your body. I will make you scream, and yell until your throat is dry, and your voice is hoarse. I will torture you to the brink of sanity, and when you cannot take anymore, I will send you over the edge. Mark my words little one.” Yes, he definitely would punish her so bad that she would never forget it, and for that reason alone, she had to run.

 

The moon shone brightly above, not a single cloud in the sky. Even the weather was against her. She had enough trouble hiding from him normally, but on a night such as this, there was no way his superior vision could not spot her, that was why she had to run. She had long ago given up hiding. Every single time she did, he would find her. It just wasn't fair. Not only did he have the superior vision, but his strong sense of smell always led him to her, no matter where she hid. The only problem with running was the fact that his sensitive ears would definitely pick up the sound of her wooden shoes hitting the forest floor.

 

Suddenly deciding that she had had enough of their clatter, she ripped the shoes off of her feet, and threw them off to one side of the path, hoping he would think she made a detour into the woods, even though she knew she could never really trick him. She continued running in her socks, which were turning green from the foliage she ran upon. The trees began to blur as she ran pass them, each one disappearing after the last.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

He trailed through out the forest sniffing at the air once in a while trying to get a whiff of her scent. A predatory grin spread across his face as the gentle breeze relayed her scent to him. She wasn't that far up ahead. If he really wanted to, all he had to do was break into a jog, and he would be upon her in a matter of minutes, but he wanted to see what she would try tonight. Therefore he steadily and regally walked towards his prey, intent on having a little fun with it, before he devoured it whole.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Looking back behind her, she saw no signs of him, as if he wasn't really going to chase her down, and punish her. But she knew better. Even though she couldn't see him, she still knew he was somewhere back there, looking for her, watching her, waiting for the perfect chance to pounce, and devour his prey.

 

No, she wouldn't lose, not this time. She had a plan. She would succeed. She would finally get away from him, she would finally win. Memories of the last time she had been caught flashed in her mind, sending shivers down her body. No, this time was going to be different. Her strategy was foolproof. She was going to double back towards the castle, and head the opposite way. She knew he would never expect her to go back there, why would anyone be crazy enough to run back to the place they were running away from?

 

With a new determination, she began running again, mapping out her escape route in her mind. All she had to do was to keep running until sunrise. If she could avoid him until then, it would be over. She would win. She began by untying her obi throwing it carelessly to the side of the trail, making it seem as if she wanted to trick him into thinking she had detoured into the woods, like she did her shoes. Spotting some wild flowers up ahead, she dropped to the ground and began to roll around in them. She picked some of the flowers up, knowing that they would come in handy later, and continued on her way.

 

It wasn't long until she came to the shores of the small river. A catlike smile began to spread itself across her face. She began scattering the flowers along the bank of the river as she walked upstream, knowing for sure, he would smell her scent on the flowers. Peeling off the outer layer of her kimono, she dropped it by the riverbank, before jumping into the freezing cold water. This river was her only chance. She waded upstream a bit before she peeled off another layer of her kimono, and tossed it by the bank. She made her way to the opposite shore, before getting out, and waddling deep into the woods. After she was satisfied that she had gone far enough, she peeled off another layer of her kimono and tossed it to the side, before making her way back to the river.

 

She kept repeating the same action, every few miles that she waded upstream, until she was left only in her under-robe. Knowing that he would become extremely frustrated following so many leads only to find that he had been fooled once again, made her laugh. For once, she would have the upper hand. She knew for a fact that his nose would be weakened exponentially by the water.

 

She looked up into the sky. The night was starting to fade in the horizon. The stars had all left, and the moon was nowhere to be seen. From her vast experience of spending all of her nights outdoor, she knew that the sun would rise in a little less than three hours. That meant she had to start making her way back to the castle. Jumping back into the cold waters, she had to stifle a groan. It was a good thing it was still summer, otherwise she would've had a cold on her hands. She began to swim downstream, letting the currents of the water gently aid her.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

“ Kuso!” That was the second time her kimono had led him astray. Though he was annoyed, he couldn't help, but feel a little bit of pride spread through his chest. The little minx had picked up on his tracking tactics. He was the one that had taught her that a youkai's best tracking tool was their nose, and it was highly weakened by water. He never thought she actually listened to him, or even understood what he was saying, but here he was with blatant evidence that she had listened to him, and not only that, but she had remembered everything he told her quite clearly.

 

Tonight would definitely be an interesting night. He pondered briefly, what she would've done next, now taking into consideration that she knew some of his tracking strategies. She might've spread out the kimonos along the way to trick him into believing that all of the trails were a trick, so he wouldn't follow all of them, and miss her true trail- but then again, all of the trails might actually be a trick and be diversions from her true route. He thought about it for a few more seconds, before making his decision, and setting off to stalk his prey once again.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Her skin was now wrinkly, and her hair was weighing her head down, but she was almost there. She could see the clearing and the path that led to the castle. Pulling her robe tightly around her, she grabbed onto a branch of a fallen tree by the river bank to stop the currents from taking her too far. She immediately cried out, and released the branch. Blood trickled down her wrist. She had accidentally grabbed onto a thorn on the twig. She quickly re-immersed her hand into the water, hoping the smell of her blood wasn't strong enough to give her whereabouts away. She ripped off a stripe of her underrobe, and wrapped it around her hand. Being extra cautious this time, she pulled herself from the river, and ran along the path.

 

She smiled, and almost giggled with excitement when the tall walls of the castle came into view. She was almost safe. She could see the first rays of sunlight peeking over the horizon. She starting jogging towards the castle, when suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she saw a white blur go past her between the trees. `Oh no! He found me.' She broke into a full sprint towards the castle, ignoring the burning pain in her legs, and stinging in the palm of her hand. She could see the sun creep up behind the walls of the castle. She was so close, the gates were a few scant feet in front of her, but if anyone had been there watching, they would've known there was no chance she would've made it. A big silver blur ran right into her, pinning her to the ground just a bare meter from the palace gates as the sun fully cleared the horizon, settling neatly in the morning sky.

 

“NO! I was so close . . . so close . . .” Rin cried out as she futilely struggled against her attacker's hold.

 

“Trying to run away from me, Rin?” Sesshoumaru's piercing amber orbs stared down at the little ningen underneath him. “Looks like you've failed again. I must commend you on a valiant effort though. You came so close this time. You ALMOST got away from this Sesshoumaru, but almost isn't good enough is it Rin? You still need to be punished,” Sesshoumaru dropped his head beside hers before whispering the last word, sending a shiver down her body, when his warm breathe caressed her ear.

 

Sesshoumaru got back onto his feet gracefully, and helped Rin stand up as well. He pulled her close, and took a minute to inhale her intoxicating scent, before pushing her away from him. She stared at him startled, not quite sure what he was planning. A smirk crossed his face. “Run Rin. Run, because when I catch you, the entire castle will be awakened by your screams.” Rin stood rooted to the spot, she was debating between running, and staying, weighing each option with its consequences.

 

“If you prefer to have me punish you now, rather than later . . .” Sesshoumaru didn't get to finish his sentence as Rin bolted into the woods. She knew she had no chance in winning, but she had at least make an effort. She wasn't going down without a fight. Her lord had taught her better than that. She would- her train of thought was discontinued as she was taken down from behind. Once again, she found herself pinned to the ground underneath the taiyoukai.

 

“You know, I will win one day, Sesshoumaru! One of these days, YOU will be the one that's pinned”- Rin's next words were muffled as Sesshoumaru's lips came crashing down on hers. The kiss was short, but it was far from innocent. The tai-youkai pulled away, and a roguish smirk slid across his features. “If you wanted to be on top of this Sesshoumaru, all you had to do was ask, Rin,” he whispered, before he flipped them both over, with Rin straddling his hips. He placed his hands on her thighs, holding her in place.

 

“ That's not what I meant, and you know it!” Rin pouted, crossing her arms across her chest, and unconsciously pushing her already straining bosom higher.

 

“ You know Rin, as much as I enjoy watching you display your . . . attributes. It is highly improper for you to be running around the woods in nothing, but a short wet underrobe. Do not do it again,” Sesshoumaru said sternly as he slid his hands up and down her thighs. Rin could only nod in agreement as his hands slipped to her inner thighs.

 

Sesshoumaru could smell the distinct, and potent scent of her arousal, and it caused blood to pool in his loins. Reaching for the hem of her robe, he slowly pulled it over her head, peeling it off of her. Her skin felt cold and wet to touch, but it was still smooth as silk. Rin shivered slightly as the cool air brushed over her, but she wasn't cold for long, as Sesshoumaru ran his hands over the skin that he had uncovered. Brown eyes met amber ones as she looked down at him. She could see the carnal desire in his eyes, but she could also make out the silent love he held for her underneath the burning lust. She reached out a hand, and caressed his cheek gently, tracing the rugged markings on his face. She bent over and replaced her hand with her tongue, thoroughly enjoying the taste of him, before kissing the crescent moon on his forehead. She settled herself back on his hips, and gave him a breath-taking smile.

 

Sesshoumaru let out a growl, and grinded his hips against hers, earning a muffled moan from her. Without warning, he pulled her to him, and flipped them both over, so that he was on top. Before Rin had a chance to protest, he captured her lips in a fiery kiss that left her breathless. She began to tug impatiently at Sesshoumaru's belt, and pushed his haori off his shoulders revealing his toned chest, and rippling abs muscles. Sesshoumaru sucked in a shallow breath as Rin kissed her way down his chest, and trailed her hands along his abs, going lower, and lower, until her hand met the bulge growing beneath his hakama. She began to stroke it gently earning satisfied moans from the taiyoukai above her. She smiled to herself, knowing that she momentarily had the upper-hand. As if he was reading her mind, he pulled her hand away from him halting her ministrations, and pinned both her hands above her head.

 

Red eyes stared down at her as Sesshoumaru growled deeply in his throat commanding her submission. Recognizing this fact, Rin pressed herself against the ground, and licked the underside of Sesshoumaru's chin, showing him that he had complete dominance over her. Seemingly satisfied with her actions, the taiyoukai released her hands, and began to trail them down her body, reaching between them to cup her supple breasts in his hands. He grazed his sharp fangs along the side of her neck, being careful to not break the skin, before moving down to her breast and capturing one of her dusty peaks into his mouth.

 

Rin stifled a moan as his hot wet tongue lapped at her. She could feel her wetness as her lord grinded his hips against hers. She knew for sure she had left a mark on the front of his hakama. She bit her lip to keep herself from vocalizing the pleasure that her lord was giving her. After paying homage to her ample bosom, Sesshoumaru trailed his kisses lower, until his face hovered over her feminine core. He inhaled her intoxicating scent, before pressing a kiss there causing Rin to gasp loudly.

 

Through the pleasure induced haze her mind created, his words from earlier came back to her. “I'm going to exert punishment on every part of your body.” Rin couldn't take it anymore. She let out a small gasp, and a whimper as he began to lap at her folds with his tongue. “I will make you scream, and yell until your throat is dry, and your voice is hoarse.” He continued to torture her with his tongue, before he slid two fingers into her tight passage. At this point Rin lost all conscious thoughts as shockwaves of pleasure flowed through her body. “I will torture you to the brink of sanity . . .” His fingers continued to pump in and out her as his mouth continued to tease the hardened nub above her entrance. She could feel it coming, the familiar wave of warmth. Her body tensed, and the only thing she could focus on was the sweet friction his fingers were causing. In . . . out . . . in . . . out . . . and then she could think no more as she released a broken version of Sesshoumaru's name as the waves of her climax overcame her. “ . . . and when you cannot take anymore, I will send you over the edge. Mark my words little one.”

 

She opened her eyes slowly to the sight of Sesshoumaru lapping her juices off of his fingers. She half-groaned as she felt herself become aroused again. Sesshoumaru gave her a coy smirk, before removing his final article of clothing. She felt his arousal pressed against her moist entrance. His golden eyes peered deeply into her chocolate ones. She smiled up at him, before she nipped his chin playfully. Sesshoumaru growled in response, and kissed her deeply, before pushing forward, and completely sheathing himself to the hilt. Both Rin and Sesshoumaru let out a moan from the pleasant friction. Sesshoumaru kept perfectly still, until he felt Rin buck her hips, signaling that she was ready. He rested his weight on his forearms as he pumped into her repeatedly, watching her face animate with the pleasure he was giving her.

 

Rin felt hot, and bothered. She loved the slick feel of his skin rubbing against her's. It was all quite amazing. If someone had told her a year ago, that she and her lord would be doing this in almost broad daylight in the middle of the forest, only a few trees away from the castle gates, she would've told them that they were crazier than Naraku, but here she was, and here he was, and oh the amazing things that he was making her feel. Before Rin even knew what was happening another powerful climax hit her, and she cried out again for the second time that night, most likely effectively waking every animal that might've still been sleeping in the area. Before she had a chance to catch her breathe, however, her lord hoisted her up, so that her legs were now wrapped around his waist, and pressed her against a nearby tree.

 

“ Have you had enough Rin? Or do I need to punish you more?” Sesshoumaru managed to choke out between pants. He had his head in the crook of her shoulder, nibbling lightly on the side of her neck, as he thrust into her.

 

“ Onegai! Sesshoumaru-sama! Punish me!” Rin yelled, moving her hips against her lord's. Her words uttered in such a desperate voice only served to make him harder, if it were possible. He drove himself into her over, and over again, making her back hit the bark of the tree repeatedly.

 

“ Oh, Sesshoumaru, I'm cumming, I'm - uh!” Rin cried out as her third orgasm of the night hit her. She clung to him, whispering words of affection in his ear. Sesshoumaru finally let himself go. Short spasms erupted throughout his body, and especially in his engorged member as he released his seed into Rin's awaiting womb. He dropped them both to the ground, both panting, and trying to catch their breaths. Sesshoumaru swept Rin's bangs away, and gently kissed her forehead, earning a dazed lope-sided, satisfied smile from Rin. Sesshoumaru groaned, finding the way she smiled at him way too innocent, and damn seductive at the same time.

 

“ Rin, always smile like that for this Sesshoumaru,” he whispered gently, before cupping her cheek in hand, and pressing a small kiss to the corner of her mouth.

 

“ Isumo! Sesshoumaru, for you, always,” Rin hugged him gently, burying her face in his chest, as he drew lazy circles on her lower back. Rin reached up her injured hand to stroke the side of his cheek. Sesshoumaru grasped her hand in his, and examined her injury.

 

“ Rin, how did you injure your hand?”

 

“ It's nothing. You needn't worry. I was just being careless,” Rin replied, blushing a bit, and pulling her hand away from his.

 

“ I don't believe I've punished you enough, if you are still this careless.”

 

“ Rin doesn't think Rin could take anymore.” He smiled, when he heard her refer to herself in the third person. It was definitely something that she had picked up from him.

 

“ But Rin, I'm not done yet . . .” Sesshoumaru smirked as he heard Rin gasp. She could feel that he was once again very aroused. Rin let out a whimper as she felt him start to move. “ Oh, Sesshoumaru-sama, you are insatiable,” Rin exclaimed, before bucking her hips up to meet his.

 

Suddenly, Sesshoumaru withdrew himself from her, and Rin let out a protesting sound, but stopped, when it was apparent that he just wanted to switch positions. He flipped her over, and placed her on her hands, and knees, before situating himself at her entrance again. He rubbed himself up, and down her slick folds, teasing her with his manhood. He could feel her push herself back upon him. “ Onegai, Sesshoumaru, don't tease.” Her gentle voice begging for him halted his teasing as he plunged himself back into her. Pushing in hard, and fast, but not hard enough to do her any harm.

 

Rin could feel her mind hazing over, and her vision start to blur, but the pleasure was just too much to let go of. She could hear the wet noises they made, when he pushed in and pulled out of her, and it only served to arouse her even further. Rin didn't know if she could stay conscious long to enough for him to finish.

 

Sesshoumaru couldn't stand much more of it. Her enveloping heat was just too much for him. Even though he had had her before, she was still so tight. She fitted perfectly around him. He pulled her hips back towards him to meet his thrusts. He knew he should pace himself, but she felt too good, and he sensed that she needed him to finish soon. He knew he was done, when she unconsciously clenched her muscles tightly around him. He felt his body tense up, as strong, almost violent contractions rippled through his length, and sent spurts of his seed into Rin.

 

He could tell she was experiencing an almost painful climax as well, as she yelled out his name, her voice hoarse from all the screaming she had done all night. He felt her slump to the ground completely spent as her breathing evened. She had passed out. He felt kind of humbled that she had passed out from their love-making. It definitely wasn't the first time, but it was still a rarity. Even though she was human, her stamina could match that of many demonesses that he had laid with before.

 

He pulled himself out her, before retrieving his clothes. He wrapped her up his fur pelt, and placed a small kiss on her forehead. `We should do this more often' - was the last thought on Sesshoumaru's mind as he began heading back towards the castle.

 

Tomorrow he knew, she would want to try again. His Rin wouldn't give up. Not until she had defeated him in this little game that they had established. Though, he knew, and she most likely knew, that she would never win, it didn't keep them from playing, especially because he greatly enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. His inner-youkai craved it. He pulled his mate closer to him, hoping that their nights would always end like this.
