Chapter 3: Escaping the palace

Sesshomaru awoke to see Rin sleeping and lightly snoring in the chair beside his bed. He wondered how late she was up worrying about him.

She always worries... But I know what that's like, I worry about her all the time...maybe that's why I've never let her go back to her own kind...but sooner or later she will have to...She cant keep staying here with me. She needs to find a mate and...

Sesshomaru all of a sudden felt sick to his stomach when he tried to envision her with another man in her bed. He felt rage, and could feel his eyes begin to burn.

What's wrong with me...she's just another weak human being...

He smiled for once, a happy smile. But she was his, Rin belonged to no one but him. She was stubborn, but lovable in every way.

Sesshomaru tired to sit up and groaned at the unexpected pain.

Why haven't I healed yet? Maybe this wound is more serious than I had thought... but I'll never tell Rin that; she would worry even more about my current state...

At his moan, she shot up out of the chair, and fell onto the floor. He looked at her pathetically trying to wiggle and stand up, and he couldn't help himself from laughing. She looked so damn stupid, that he had to laugh. She looked up at him from on the floor, and attempted- angerly muttered to herself, (although she did feel pretty stupid)

"Glad to see Sesshomaru-sama is feeling better...and laughing at that Rin shall take her leave." and she began to leave the room.

It was obvious he didn't need this Rin around; this Rin isn't here to be laughed at. Rin is here to take care of his wounds...but he seems to not need Rin at the moment.

"Where are you going? Don't leave me, onegai?" Sesshomaru reeled at his politeness.

What the hell am I doing? Saying ONEGAI? And to a NINGEN? This Sesshomaru never says please...nevermind saying it to a human!

But...

It's Rin...she's different from any other humans I've ever met...

At his polite request, Rin turned around and her jaw dropped.

He's saying please? To this Rin?

A big smile crossed her face.

So he must like this Rin, in order to put his pride down so low and be so nice to Rin. Much more nice than usual!

She ran over to the bed and gave him a big hug, burrying her face in his neck; and he enjoyed the intimate moment. Not knowing what to do, he put his arms around her, and smiled at how perfectly she felt against him.

If she were to ever leave his side, he wouldn't know what to do. And yet, he knew, one day she would leave him, because she was only a human being...That thought depressed him, so he shoved it into the back of his mind.

Boldly, Rin got off the bed, and pulled back his sheets. She then saw him shiver from the cool air on his skin. She lay in beside him, pulled the sheets back over, and pressed her body against him once again. Her long, raven black hair went into his face, but it didn't matter...it was Rin's. It smelt like fresh flowers and it was like sunshine on a cloudy day.

Sesshomaru tried to find the words to tell her to get out of his bed, but...he didn't want her to go. He wanted to stay like this with her forever. Slowly, in an impulsive motion, he kissed her forehead, and then slowly around her face.

Rin closed her eyes. He was just so...godly. She was feeling things she'd never felt before...and he was the one evoking these feelings from her. Rin felt slightly unconfortable, and yet she liked it. Her stomach felt warm and tingled, and yet she felt queasy at the same time. She didn't know what it was, but she knew she didn't want this to end...

He could smell her arousal, and internally smiled. Perhaps he should stop, before things got out of hand.

I will not use her, because I'd never take a human mate...she needs to go with someone of her own kind...it's not right, and it's not fair. I will not repeat the actions of my father or my stupid half brother.

And what about Sayuri? Something in his mind questionned him this.

How would she react, if I mated with a human? She would damn me to hell! But then again... Her dying wish was for me to find someone I'm happy with...and Rin makes me just that. But, of course, I'll never tell Rin that, or at least not anytime soon...

Although it caused him very much pain, he surpressed a groan, and sat up, leaving her lying on the bed. Questioningly, she looked up at him. She could see the pain in his eyes, and frowned.

"Is something wrong, Sesshomaru-sama? Has this Rin done something wrong?"

He loved it how she said "this Rin" and looked down at her. If she was going to go back to the human village, he would have to stop keeping her so close to him all the time. He might even have to make her hate him; just so that he wouldn't miss her. He began to think, and finally got an idea.

"You know, I had a mate before. I met her in the forest; she was a youkai. She wanted to fight me; and I was impressed at her strength. She'd known about me...and she wanted to know more. I was going to leave, but then she requested me to bathe with her. I knew what she wanted, and yet I wasn't repulsed...

I gave her what she wanted and what I wanted. It was interesting...and would have continued if my stupid half brother hadn't interrupted. I invited her to my castle later that for dinner. After that, she stayed at the castle with me, and so I made her my mate a few months later.

When we were in my chambers, and she had told me she was pregnant...I couldn't help it. I was happy at the thought of her bearing my children. We were going to make love again; and almost did...but Naraku came and killed her.

I tried to fight him, but he called another demon as a diversion for him to escape, and she was dying by the arrow he shot through her heart. After I defeated the stupid decoy, I ran back to her. Sayuri's dying wish was for me to be happy, and she began to say something else, but couldn't finish, becuse she coughed up blood and died in my arms..."

Sesshomaru's eyes began to water, so he turned around and faced the balcony so she wouldn't see his pain at the memory. He had loved her, she knew it, and he still missed her a little, to say the least.

Rin's shock wasn't a surprise to him. He could smell her tears, and he knew she was more than jellous.

He heard her whisper,

"Doshite?,"

before she ran out of the room, her sobbing increasing as she went faster and faster to her chambers.

Well, he'd done what he set out to, and he felt miserable.

He picked up the desk in his room, and despite his pain, he threw it against the wall, making a loud crash, and a huge hole in the wall. It sort of helped him, so he picked up as many things as he could and demolished them.

He lay down on the one thing he hadn't destroyed yet; his bed. He looked up at the white ceiling, and felt deep sadness. He would have to send her away, and for more than one reason. He needed to, mainly because he didn't want Naraku to kill her, just as he had killed Sayuri. He also knew that Rin, at the moment, hated him and didn't want to talk to him; and he couldn't blame her for it either.

It was what he wanted it, wasn't it? If this was what he wanted, why did he feel so terrible?...

Rin cried as she had never cried before. It was like he wanted her to hate him, and all of her body shook with tears.

If he wants this Rin to leave, then that is what this Rin will do.

Without waiting for him to take her back to the village, she picked up her sword and bow and arrows, and a small make-shift backpack, placing those items and a few kimonos in the backpack. She also packed some food that she always kept stashed in her room.

She didn't want to walk downstairs because she might run into Sesshomaru, but also because she didn't want the servents or Jaken knowing she'd run away. She took her bedsheets and tied them into knots. (A/N: original idea, I know, lol) She then took one end and tied it to the balcony right across from her bed. She then threw the long "rope" over the side of the balcony, and slung her backpack over her back and shoulders.

Rin breathed a big breath, and jumped over the balcony, grabbing the sheets and rapidly slid her way down. She saw she was a few feet short, but it didn't matter. She had to get out of here, as fast as possible.

She jumped down, and landed on the soft grass. As quielty as possible, she ran to the stables where the doragon Ah-Un were kept. When they saw her, they were about to let out a squeal of delight, but she hushed them before they could do so.

"Shhh! Iie iie iie, be quiet! Please, help this Rin get out of here! Please take Rin to Kagome's human village, do you know where that is?"

Ah-Un, understanding her after all these years, nodded their heads and she sighed with relief. She untied them from the posts, and took off their reigns, leading them out of the stables. She jumped onto their back, and had the dark blue dragon lead her way, high in the skies.

A few hours after the crying scene...

Sesshomaru was kicking himself, and wanted to speak to her, despite the fight she would put up to get him away. When he walked to her room, he couldn't smell her as strongly as usual. She wasn't in her chambers, and his heart lept a little. He noticed the room looked a little empty, but couldn't figure out why and didn't care at the moment, and ran out of the room.

Maybe she went to the bathing house, or to urinate.

He ran outside to the bathing house and she wasn't there, either.

There now could only be two more possibilities; he ran to Jaken and asked where she was.

"I thought she was with you, Mi'lord? I haven't seen her since last night, when she was sitting by the tree and picking those stupid flowers again."

Sesshomaru, as if all of a sudden remembering, ran back to her room.

He recalled looking, and seeing something missing. He ran into her room, and looked around. It was then that he saw her bed, and the sheets were missing. He went through her closet, and saw some of her most prized kimonos missing.

Sesshomaru ran to the balcony, and could smell her scent. He saw the bedding tied on the balcony, and in rage let out a sound representing anger.

He jumped off the balcony swiftly, making a smooth landing on his feet and went straight to the stables. He saw Ah-Un missing, and knew she had taken them and run away. And he also knew the doragon wouldn't be coming back; because she was the one that fed them and took care of them. But he didn't care for the doragon at the moment, he was worried about her.

Her scent here was fairly new, so he ran out in the direction of the forest, trying to find where she had gone.

How could I do this to her? What if she runs into demons, and they kill her? I'll never forgive myself!

Not knowing which direction she went, he ran all over looking for her in desperation, and prayed she was allright, wherever she was...

About 5 hours later...

In the mean time, Rin stopped for a break after many many hours of constant riding. She knew the doragon was tired, and stopped in a place where there was much forest so she was hidden from the skies.

As Ah-Un were grazing in a clearing a good distance away from her, she heard a noise in the forest, and withdrew her sword, preparing for a battle against a youkai. Who she saw made her face relax.

It was only Koga, but what he said made her face pale.

"You will be mine, Rin. You have matured over the years. You are very beautiful, and I know we will make nice pups together. I can see Sesshomaru hasn't made you his mate. Good. Come with me to my cave; don't make me fight you. I shall get you, no matter what."

Rin knew she was going to have to fight him, and she could feel the adreniline pumping through her body. To his reply, in an angry voice she said,

"This Rin will not give herself to you! Not without a fight!" and she watched as he charged at her with lightning speed, due to the Shikon no Tama jewels in his legs, before she could even brace herself.

The battle had now begun.
