InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Price of Freedom ❯ Always and Forever ( Chapter 10 )

Here's the next chappie. Sorry it took so long. I hit a bit of a road block with it. Anyways. My first lemon is in this chapter so be warned.

 

As always… I do not own InuYasha or the characters within.

 

Chapter 10

 

The next day started very early with the household staff, and additional staff, bustling through the house making everything ready for ball Izayoi was having. To everyone else, it was just a fancy party, but Izayoi liked to think of it as a ball.

 

Izayoi was most excited about her boys having dates for the ball. Even though a couple balls were held per year, none of her sons had ever taken a date with them. Many girls had tried to pair up with them during the balls, but none had ever succeeded. The two that stuck in her mind the most was Kikyo and Kagura.

 

Kikyo had been after InuYasha for about 3 years now, and Kagura had been after her Sesshy for almost 5. She couldn't wait to see the looks on their snobby faces when all three of her boys showed up with beautiful women by their sides. Those two gold diggers would finally leave her boys alone. This would surely be a night to remember.

 

“Oh, aren't those flowers just lovely!” Izayoi walked up beside one of the extra staff and smelled the lilies in the vase.

 

“Lady Iiiizayoooooi! Ladyyyyyy Izzzayoiiiiii!”

 

The smile quickly fell from her face as she rolled her eyes. Placing the smile back on her face she turned. “Yes Jaken.”

 

“I'm worried about Lord Sesshomaru. I haven't heard from him since yesterday. Do you think I should go wake him? Maybe I should take him breakfast. Yes, yes, that's it. I will take him breakfast, the business section of this morning's paper, some nice orange juice, and some green tea.” As Jaken rambled on and started towards the kitchen Izayoi turned.

 

“Freeze frog boy!”

 

Jaken froze with one leg in the air and a look of horror on his face. Lady Izayoi never raised her voice.

 

She moved to stand in front of him.

 

Looking up at her he swallowed, “Yeyeyeyeyes mmmmmmmmmm'lady.”

 

“You listen to me and you listen good.” She had one hand on her hip and the other was moving in every direction as she pointed and told Jaken what for. “My son is not, I repeat NOT to be disturbed for any reason. He and Rin need time alone, and I intend to see that they have their time. I'm not getting any younger and I would like some grandpups while I'm still able to play with them. And so help me if I have to set the scene and push them into bed and lock the door, I WILL have a grandpup by this time next year, AND THAT IS HOW IT IS GOING TO BE.”

 

Straightening, she smiled and let her voice return to normal. “Is that understood Jaken?”

 

Jaken stared at Izayoi who was herself once again and not the raging monster she was a minute before. “Yeyeyes mmm'lady.”

 

Smiling, she straightened her skirt. “Good. Now that we understand one another, I need you to run a few errands for me.”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

 

Rin awoke to the sound of birds chirping on the balcony. What a wonderful dream she had last night. Sitting up, she stretched and yawned. Looking around, she realized she hadn't been dreaming. She was in Sesshomaru's room. Looking down at her hand she saw the ring. Holding her hand up to admire it she smiled.

 

She walked out onto the balcony and breathed the fresh air into her lungs. Letting out a sigh of contentment she enjoyed the feel of the breeze on her face. Looking out into the gardens, she smiled as she felt arms rap around her waist. She leaned back into his embrace. “Good morning.”

 

“How are you this morning my love?” Sesshomaru laid his chin on top of her head and breathed in her scent. Lavender and chamomile, he loved the combination on her.

 

Closing her eyes in the comfort of his arms, she answered. “My head hurts a little, but nothing major. What about you?” She turned and looked into his eyes. “How's your back?”

 

“It's fine. Why don't we go get some breakfast?”

 

She looked at him. “It's not fine. You had shrapnel in your back, now turn around and let me see.” Turning him around so she could see his back, her eyes widened with wonder when there wasn't a scratch on him. “But, but, you... you had chunks of metal in your back! There's nothing there! Not even a scratch!”

 

Turning around, he traced the scratch on her forehead with his finger. “Remember Rin, I'm a demon. I heal faster than humans.”

 

He took her hand and led her back into the bedroom. “Now, let's get dressed and get some breakfast. I have some paper work to do, so I won't see you until tonight.” He walked into his closet and came out wearing khaki shorts and a blue, button down, short-sleeved shirt over a white t-shirt. “Besides, I'm sure mother will want you girls all to herself today anyways.”

 

Taking her hand, he led her out into the hall. “I'll warn you right now, mom's never had girls to fuss over, so be warned. It could be a little crazy.”

 

Rin smiled at him. “How bad could it be?”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------

 

`How bad could it be?'

 

Who would have thought those five little words would come back to bite her in the ass. She swore as long as she lived, that sentence would never leave her mouth again.

 

Rin looked at herself in the mirror. There was some kind of green goo all over her face, her hair had foil and curlers and God only knew what else in it. Izayoi was busy giving instructions to the women who were there to help them get ready for this evening.

Kagome and Sango looked as though they were enjoying having all that stuff put on them. She couldn't understand why.

 

“Ok girls. Once we get this stuff off our faces, I want you to go and change into your bras or cami's and panties. Put your robes on and then come back in here and we'll start on your hair and make-up. We only have two hours to get ready so chop-chop!”

 

The girls went into the bathroom and found the lingerie they had picked out sitting on top of silk robes.

 

Rin picked hers up and looked at the girls. “How do these things go on?” She asked as she studied the garter and stockings in front of her.

 

Sango shook her head. “I have no clue. Just put on what you can, and then we'll figure out the rest.”

 

One by one the girls went behind the dressing screen and came out with their robes on. Kagome and Rin had help from Sango who managed to figure out the garter. Once they got their hosiery on, they put on their slippers and walked back out into the madness.

 

An hour and a half later, they were ready to slip on their gowns and have their finishing touches. Make-up was fixed, jewelry was put on and the scent of hairspray hung in the air. The girls were sent back into the bathroom in order to come out one by one for an amazing reveal.

 

Izayoi was ready to cry. Kagome wore a red gown that clung to her waist and then flowed to the floor. There was a slit from her ankle to her thigh. She wore silver strapped heels. Rubies adorned her neck and ears. Her hair was up with a tiny red rose tucked into the curls.

 

Sango wore an emerald gown. The gown wrapped around her neck and exposed the small of her back. It fit like a glove from top to bottom. There were two slits on each side stopping at mid thigh. Her hair was piled on top of her head, with curls framing her face. She wore diamonds.

 

Rin cold hear Izayoi sniffling. She took one last look in the mirror, took a deep breath, and then turned too walk out and reveal her look to Izayoi.

 

She was stunning. The snow white gown she wore sparkled in the light. Emeralds and diamonds had been sporadically sewn into the gown. It was strapless, and hugged her breasts, then flowed loosely to the floor. She wore the necklace Sesshomaru had given her. Her hair had wave to it, and was left to flow down her back and over her shoulders. She wore some powder on her face and a light gloss on her lips. A dusting of body glitter had been sprinkled on her shoulders and chest.

 

“Wait `til the boys get to see you. They will surely die. You all look absolutely gorgeous! Come on, we should be going. The ball is probably in full swing now. We don't want to keep our men waiting too long, now do we?” Izayoi walked out into the hall, and turned to motion to the girls to follow her.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ---

 

“Where are they?” InuYasha paced back and forth in front of the bar.

 

Sesshomaru shook his head. “We've been through this before InuYasha. They need time to get ready. I'm sure mother wants to make a grand entrance with the girls by her side.” He took a sip of his drink and cringed when he heard her voice.

 

“There you are Sesshy! I thought you might be hiding from me.” Kagura giggled sending chills of terror down Sesshomaru's spine. She tried to slink her arm onto his shoulder, but he removed it. She pouted. “Now Sesshy, is that any way to treat your future mate?” She gave him puppy eyes. It didn't work.

 

“I've told you before Kagura. You will never be my mate. I suggest you slither off to whatever corner of the forest you slithered out of.” Downing the rest of his bourbon he turned as his mother and the girls were announced.

 

Kagura turned to speak and saw Sesshomaru slowly stand. She turned her attention to the staircase as his mother was being announced. “It's just your mother Sesshy. I really need you to listen… Sesshy, Sesshomaru!!!” Kagura yelled as he walked away from her.

 

InuYasha smirked and followed his brother.

 

All eyes turned on Jaken, standing at the top of the staircase. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, and was holding The Staff of Two Heads, as was tradition when The Royal Family of The Western Lands held any type of grand ball.

 

Mumbling to himself, he saw Lady Izayoi poke her head through the door and nod to him. Now, all he had to do was not screw up the introduction for Rin, which Lord Sesshomaru had prepared himself.

 

“Ladies and gentleman,” Jaken announced. “I give you Lady Izayoi Takahashi,” Izayoi entered and stood at the top of the stair case. As her foot touched the top step, Kagome and Sango walked forward. “Miss Kagome and Miss Sango.” The girls stepped down and started following Izayoi. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they were met by Inutaisho, InuYasha, Miroku, and Sesshomaru.

 

Rin held her breath while waiting for Jaken to announce her. She hadn't worn the ring all day. It was to be a surprise Sesshomaru had said. She was to put it on right before she was announced. Izayoi and the others would be announced, and then she was to be announced as his fiancé.

 

Hearing Jaken start the announcement, she slipped the ring on her finger and took a deep breath as she stepped forward.

 

“Where's Rin?” Kagome asked as InuYasha pulled her into his arms.

 

“She's getting a special announcement all her own.” Sesshomaru smirked. The others just looked at him.

 

Kagura had followed them over. She wanted to know who these girls were and who Rin was. She also wanted to know why Sesshomaru actually looked happy.

 

Everyone's attention turned to the top of the staircase. “Ladies and Gentlemen. It is my honor to give you Lord Sesshomaru's fiancé, Miss Rin.”

 

“FIANCE!!!!” InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Izayoi, Inutaisho, and Kagura all said at the same time with shock in their voices.

 

Sesshomaru saw and heard nothing, except Rin making her entrance down the staircase towards him. She looked amazing, like an angel sent only for him. Only an angel could make him feel what he had never felt before, never thought he could feel for a woman. Love, pure and true. His eyes met hers and held as she made her decent.

 

All eyes were on her as she made her way down the staircase and towards Sesshomaru. She smiled as her eyes met his and locked. She stepped onto the floor and was met by Sesshomaru who produced a single red rose. “You look stunning Rin. In case you didn't notice, I'm starting to run out of words to describe your beauty.” Her giggle was cut off as his lips touched hers.

 

Offering her his arm, they turned and walked over to his family. Izayoi was crying and threw herself at her son. “Why didn't you tell me?” She cried as she grabbed Rin's hand and pulled her towards her.

 

“Sesshomaru said it was to be a surprise.”

 

With tears of joy still running down Izayoi's face, she turned to her eldest and started smacking him in the arm. “You couldn't even tell your own mother! Why must you always be so difficult!” Then she wrapped her arms around him and began sobbing. “I'm just so happy for you. My little boy is growing into a man!”

 

Miroku and InuYasha were laughing at the display Izayoi was making and the look on Sesshomaru's face.

 

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. “Mother, I've been a man for over a hundred years.”

 

Pulling back and swatting him on the back of his head. “My babies are still boys until they take a mate. Remember that.” She then turned back to Rin and embraced her. “I'm so, so happy for you! Welcome to the family, Daughter.”

 

Rin looked up to Sesshomaru, and smiling let a few tears fall from happiness. She finally had a family.

 

Rin was smiling and laughing, as well as receiving hugs from her friends, and her new family, when Kagura made her way towards Sesshomaru. “Sesshy. I demand to know who this, this, floozy is!”

 

Rin turned towards Kagura, and then she looked at InuYasha. “Did she just call me a floozy?” Rin started walking towards Kagura.

 

“Oh shit.” InuYasha saw his brothers eyes turn red and ran to put himself between Sesshomaru and Kagura. “Bro, just ignore her. She's trying to make a scene that's all. She's not worth it.”

 

Sesshomaru's red eyes faded back to gold as he addressed Kagura. “First of all Kagura, this woman,” He said as he pointed towards Rin who had walked up beside him, “is not a floozy. She is my intended mate, and you will treat her with respect. Second of all, this is no business of yours. I suggest you leave at this time.” Turning away from Kagura he held his arm to Rin. “Come Rin, there are some people I wish you to meet.”

 

As Rin and Sesshomaru were walking away, Kagura decided that she was not letting him leave and get the final word in. He was hers, and that little bitch was not taking him away from her. She let the water works start.

 

“Don't you even care about our baby! I want my child to know his father Sesshomaru! Are you just going to abandon us?”

 

Sesshomaru stopped dead in his tracks and turned to glare at her.

 

InuYasha stepped forward. “Any demon in this room can tell that you have never been with my brother Kagura. His scent would be all over you if he had. I think you need to leave.”

 

InuYasha always loved seeing his brother cringe when Kagura was around. However, now that Rin was involved, he decided it was time to interfere.

 

“Don't talk about things you don't know you filthy half-breed! That bitch isn't taking Sesshomaru from me!”

 

Suddenly Rin appeared in front of Kagura. “What did you just call me?” She said in a dangerously low tone of voice.

 

Kagura looked at the little girl in front of her. A wicked smile crossed her face. “I called you a bitch…”

 

She didn't have time to finish the rest of her thought. Rin's fist came crashing into her face, causing Kagura to fall to the floor. “That's what I thought you called me.” She turned from Kagura and walked back to Sesshomaru who was grinning from ear to ear, something no one in the room had ever thought possible.

 

“Oops, forgot something.” She said before reaching him. She turned around and walked back towards Kagura. As Rin knelt down beside her, Kagura turned her head towards her. The second punch was worse than the first because it landed in the exact same spot. “That's for calling my brother a filthy half-breed.”

 

As she was making her way towards Sesshomaru, InuYasha grabbed her and swung her in his arms. “I love my little sister. I think she takes after me.” He grinned and turned towards Sesshomaru who was growling possessively. “Knock it off, Fluffy. She's yours, I know. She is my sister now though, remember that.”

 

InuYasha released her and she ran towards Sesshomaru. Standing on her tip-toes, she kissed his nose and giggled. He immediately stopped growling, and swept her into his arms.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------

 

The rest of the evening was wonderful. Kagura picked herself up off of the floor with some help from her sister Kanna. At that point in time, Kagura thought it best she take leave and get some ice on her face. She didn't want any more incidents tonight.

 

Luckily for InuYasha, Kikyo was a no show at the party. Apparently, she had a date. InuYasha just thought it was some ploy to make her seem more interesting to him. Of course, it didn't work. He was too busy enjoying himself as he danced with Kagome. Never in a million years did he think he would have ever enjoyed one of these parties. All he needed was the right woman to make them enjoyable. As he twirled Kagome around the dance floor, he looked over to Miroku and Sango.

 

Miroku was making Sango laugh and blush all at the same time. How he always ended up smelling like a rose was beyond InuYasha. Apparently he had some kind of charm beneath his lecherous ways.

 

He looked around the room and saw his mother and father dancing as if they were teenagers. He figured they would always be that way. He searched the room for Rin and Sesshomaru, but couldn't find them anywhere. “Hey Kagome, do you know where Rin and Sesshomaru went?”

 

Kagome lifted her head from his shoulder. “Rin said she wanted to go for a walk in the gardens. They left about a half hour ago. Why?”

 

“Just wondering, that's all.” Kagome laid her head back on his shoulder and he grinned. A walk huh? So that's what they're calling it these days.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----

 

Rin had told Sesshomaru that she had wanted to go for a walk. She wasn't lying, well, maybe a little. She knew the basics about sex. She did however have a little time earlier in the day to talk to Izayoi.

 

It was awkward at first, but Izayoi was very easy to talk to. Izayoi had told her that when it was with two people who loved and cared for each other very much, it was referred to as making love. She liked the sound of that better than sex.

 

Izayoi had told her of a spot on the grounds that was a very romantic place. It was farther away, into the forests behind the grounds. There were a lot of places that had numerous waterfalls and hot springs. The one she was thinking about had a small waterfall and was surrounded by wildflowers. She thought that it would be a perfect place for Rin and Sesshomaru to go to after the party. She said they called it `Relaxation falls'. She said the sound of water hitting the rocks, and the peacefulness that surrounded the place was perfect when you wanted to relax and be alone.

 

She asked Sesshomaru if he would show her this place, and of course he said he would.

 

“We're almost there.” He said as he made his way through the forest. Rin couldn't wait. She was nervous and excited at the same time. For the first time in her life, she wanted to give herself to a man. She never thought she would find the right person, until she met him.

 

“Here we are.” Sesshomaru said as he pushed his was through some trees and into the most wonderful place Rin had ever laid eyes on. Setting her down, he watched her eyes fill with amazement.

 

The moon shone through the trees and cast shadows all around. Lightning bugs danced through the air displaying a magical show of colors. Rin heard and saw the water hitting the rocks as it made its way over the falls. She saw a blanket laid out near the edge of the creek, with two pillows and two robes lying on top of it. “Izayoi.” She said quietly and laughed. She should have known.

 

She felt arms wrap around her. “Looks like mother had everything planned.” Leaning down, he nipped at her neck and felt her go fluid in his arms. Picking her up, he walked towards the blanket that had been surrounded with candles. He set her on the blanket, she glowed in the moonlight. The jewels on her dress caught the light and danced on her as she moved.

 

Sitting down beside her, Sesshomaru opened the basket that was sitting up by the pillows. There were matches, two glasses, wine, juice, and fresh fruit. Opening the matches to light the candles there were six words, `no one will bother you, mother'.

 

He decided against lighting the candles because the moon was so bright, and because Rin looked absolutely breathtaking in its glow. He filled the two glasses with wine. “I think we should celebrate.” Handing her a glass, he lifted his. “To my love, I never thought I would find you.” He touched his glass to hers and then drank.

 

Sitting the two glasses aside, he leaned in towards her. “Words cannot describe how beautiful you look in that dress.” Taking her lips in his, he slowly laid her back onto the blanket. He nipped her bottom lip and she moaned.

 

Hearing her moan drove him mad. He didn't think he could control himself any longer. He needed her. He needed to feel her skin pressed against his, to feel her body tremble at his touch. He sat her back up, her eyes still closed, and started to remove her dress.

 

She felt as if she were floating on a cloud. So many emotions were swimming through her mind as he ran kisses down her neck. Her body naturally reacted to his. She had thought she would be nervous, or even embarrassed, she wasn't. Her body started warming at his touch. Then she heard him groan. “What's wrong?” Did she do something wrong? Did he not find her appealing to look at?

 

He ran a hand over the silk she wore beneath her gown. It was white, a symbol of her purity. It drove him insane. “You're gorgeous Rin.” He started trailing kisses down her neck and over the silk that covered her breasts. Her breath caught as he took her peak into his mouth and suckled. He could smell her arousal, and it heightened his.

 

All thoughts left Rin's mind as his lips made his way over her body, and she layed back onto the blanket. His lips felt like the silk she wore. Her hands reached for his head and she plunged them into his mane of white hair.

 

When he felt her hands in his hair, he nipped lightly at her peak as he massaged her other breast with his hands. He felt her body tremble and slowly started moving lower, trailing kisses over her stomach, and resting at her thigh. He felt the heat escaping her core as he slowly removed the fabric that was blocking his heaven. He lightly tasted her with his tongue and found the heaven he had been waiting for. He only meant to taste, but her sweetness made him want more.

 

A moan escaped her lips as she felt her body tremble and her breath become ragged. The fire she thought couldn't burn hotter became overwhelming. A pressure started building deep within her, but before it could explode, it suddenly ceased.

 

He knew she was close. He wanted her to experience her first orgasm while he was inside her. He needed to feel her around him. He tasted her one final time, and then made his way back up her body, positioning himself over her. He looked down upon her. Her eyes were closed, and she was sparkling in the moonlight. He lowered his head to hers and whispered, “Are you sure Rin?”

 

“Yes.” She moaned.

 

“Then open your eyes Rin. I promise you, this will only hurt for a moment.”

Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and he could see the misty look in her eyes. He lowered himself to her and slowly entered her until he felt her barrier. He felt her tense. “Just relax my love.” Taking her lips with his, he pushed into her, breaking her barrier, then stopping to allow her body to adjust to him.

 

When he felt her body begin to move, he moved with her. Their bodies danced with a rhythm as old as time. Her arms wrapped around him pulling him closer. Her legs wrapped around him and he could feel his release building as she drew him deeper, and deeper inside of her.

 

Her breathing quickened as sounds of pleasure escaped her lips. He felt her body begin to quake as sounds of pleasure escaped her lips.

 

Her walls clenched around him, as his name fell from her lips, “Sesshomaru!” He knew he would soon follow. He found the spot on her neck, “I love you Rin.”, and when she moaned his name again, he sank his fangs into her neck as he was brought over the edge and his seed flowed into her.

 

He slowly rolled over, taking him with her, as they stayed joined as one. She was lying on top of him, so he wouldn't crush her with his weight. She nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck and he smiled. He brought his hand up to her neck and lightly ran his finger over the mark, his mark. She was his now, always and forever.
