Chapter 7: TemptingTaunting

The Next Morning...

Rin woke up from her deep sleep, feeling rested and once again very warm. She smiled when she turned her head and saw Sesshomaru-sama's arms around her, holding her in a close embrace. Rin also noticed the sunlight filtering into the room, making everything like aglow with golden hues. She smiled at how angelic and heavenly he looked.

Rin slowly moved to try and get out of bed to get to the bathing room, seeing how she hadn't in a long time, due to her injuries. Although the wound was healing nicely, Rin still slightly gasped in pain at getting up out of bed, surprised at the pain it brought.

Golden eyes suddenly opened at her slight body movements and gasping sound, and pulled her back onto the bed.

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Nani?"

"This Rin needs to bathe, kudasai."

Sesshomaru started at her for a moment, and saw something else flicker in her eyes.

"You are keeping something from me. There is something else you wish to do. Tell me, and iie, you shall not bathe today."

Rin sighed, and muttered,

"Nothing, Sesshomaru-sama."

"Do not lie to this Sesshomaru. If you are to lie, at least attempt to do it well. I could even smell you wanted something more, so even if you had said a perfect lie, you wouldn't have been able to hide the scent of it. Out with it, now."

He obviously wasn't buying her act, and she sighed again in defeat.

"This Rin would like...to see Kagome today! She missed Rin's birthday, because this Rin was taking care of you, and then this Rin got hurt...Rin thought all of us could celebrate together, and have fun. Rin hasn't had fun in a long time..."

And then Rin quickly added, noticing his reject at her bathing,

"But Rin must bathe! This Rin hasn't in so long, Sesshomaru-sama! This Rin knows it will hurt to bathe, but surely you do not think that this Rin is so weak that she can't handle the pain?!"

Sesshomaru could see the determination in her eyes, not only to bathe, but more to see her friends. He admitted to himself that it was true she hadn't seen her "friends" in a long time, and perhaps he was being unfair in keeping her from them for so long.

He was worried about her wound. It was healing nicely, and was closing, despite the short few-day time peroid. He didn't want to risk her re-opening it, but if she was so determined to do this, he would allow her.

"Matte. You may bathe, on one condition."

"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama? Nan desu ka?"

"You mustn't do it alone. If something were to happen, and you were alone, and something happened...it could be dangerous. Perhaps your wound would act up, and you needed medical attention...

Remember how last time your wound was inflicted, and how much blood you lost. You cannot chance to lose any more right now, you are still low on blood, because your body hasn't regenerated it all back, yet."

Rin sat shocked. He seemed to care so much for her, and she just wasn't used to it. It was akward, and yet, she welcomed his kindness and worry for her. She smiled, then giggeled wickedly.

"Genki. Sesshomaru-sama, who do you suggest to stay with this Rin while Rin bathes, then? A female servent?"

He saw the evil glint in her eyes and was tempted to smile, but didn't, of course, and acted as if he'd never seen it.

"Whomever you are most confortable with." Was his cold reply, trying to shrug off his previous worrying for her.

Rin thought his act he was putting up right now was cute, and decided to play along with it a little more, to see his reaction.

"What if Rin said she was most comfortable with you, Sesshomaru-sama?

You have seen Rin's body many times. All the times you looked after this Rin's wounds..The only difference is that this Rin is older now. This Rin can trust you! Sesshomaru-sama is always there to protect Rin, hai? You promised to always protect this Rin!"

She threw his words back at him so easily, "I promise I'll always protect you, Rin." What was he to do? Sesshomaru had to comply now!

I'll only do as she says because I keep my promises! It has nothing to do with me wanting to see her body, I swear...

Sesshomaru was apalled at his thoughts, and blanched.

(trying to make his voice sound reluctant:)

"Iku. Get yourself ready. This Sesshomaru will be there in 5 minutes. Be in the bath by then, Rin. This Sesshomaru will only watch over you for 20 minutes, and then I wish to get ready."

"Get ready? Nani? Naze desu ka?"

"Do you not want to visit your friends today? Very well, we shall stay home, then. This Sesshomaru can do some..."

"Masaka! Honto ne?Domo arigato gozuimasu, Sesshomaru-sama! Arigatou!

Rin ran over to him and put her arms around his waist. She hadn't been this happy in a very long time, and was so excited that she would finally get to see her friends. It had been so long, and he was finally going to take her! Maybe they could even spend the night at their home, but Rin wasn't going to think about that.

She abruptly ended the embrace, and dashed off happily to take her long-awaited bath.

Sesshomaru mentally slapped himself for giving in so easily to her simple wants.

An inner voice began to battle with him.

If it makes her happy, you know it makes this Sesshomaru happy too.

Rin watched as the servents filled the small basin with hot water. She smiled as she saw the steam rising from it, and thanked them before they left, closing the door behind them.

As quickly as possible, she began to strip off her clothes and grabbed the bar of soap she'd made using her fragrant dried flowers mixed with the original bar of soap.

Kagome had given Rin the unscented white bar of soap from her era. To make it "special", Rin placed the bar soap in a metal cup, and put the cup into the hot coals. As the soap melted in the metal cup, she added a little honey, and all her favourite dried and fragrant flower petals, such as jasmine, rosemary, and camomile. After it melted, Rin poured the melted soap and now newly added flower petals into a small container so it could re-harden.

Rin took the bar from out of the container and began to lather herself. The lovley scent of flower petals adorned the small, dark room. Rin had quite a lot of trouble seeing what she was doing, due to the steam and lack of light. The only light in the room came from a small open window near the ceiling, probably meant for ventilation.

She sighed as she was about to pour the hot water to rise off the soap, and then heard a loud knock at the door.

"Sesshomaru-sama, you can come in. You don't need to knock!"

Sesshomaru slowly walked in, stood at the doorway, and was surprised at how dark it was. She was only a few meters away from him, and even with his very good vision he could only see her faint body outline, which was looking pretty damn good from here...

Kami! What am I thinking? She's bathing, and I can't keep my emotions in check?

Rin smiled as she saw him stare at her from the doorway. The window was close to the doorway, so it was easier for her to see him than it was for him to see her, but she knew he was watching her every move.

(Grinning evily) This is when Rin is going to have some fun. Can Rin provoke him?...

Consciously, Rin remembered the song that Kagome had been singing last time she saw her. She couldn't remember all of it, but she remembered this,

(cautiously goes over the words in her mind)

Can you keep up?

Baby boy, make me lose my breath,

Bring the noise,

Make me lose my breath.

Hit me hard, make me lose my pant pant

Can you keep up?

Baby boy, make me lose my breath,

Bring the noise,

Make me lose my breath.

Hit me hard, make me lose my breath pant pant

The only reason why Rin had rememebered the song was because of on account of it being so weird and unlike anything she'd ever heard before. Rin had to admit, it had a catchy tune, although this wasn't any where near what she was used to. The only words to songs she knew were ones her mother had taught her, when she was alive. Those songs were more like soft songs, lullibies, or rhymes.

Rin wasn't sure Sesshomaru-sama would appreciate the words of this song, or even understand them! Even Rin didn't understand some of the wording and phrasing, and only after Kagome's explaining had she understood, and then blushed furiously at what it meant.

Maybe this Rin can make him blush, or laugh, or show some emotion? That would be the most funny thing ever! Lets test out this theory.

She cautiously streched her right leg and rested it on the end of the basin. She then took both of her hands and started from her ankle, and dragged them up until just above her knees. (the rest of her body was in the basin, and couldn't be seen from Sesshomaru's stand-point.)

All the while poor Sesshomaru was standing at the door, and could only watch what she was doing. He had to admit, she looked pretty sexy from where he was at the moment, but he wouldn't let her know he was bothered.

Sesshomaru closed the door and grabbed the stool from in the corner opposite the door. Knowingly, he brought the stool a little closer to Rin and sat down, deciding to relax himself, and "enjoy the show," although he knew he shouldn't.

Rin quietly sang the few lines of the song to herself that Kagome had taught her from before, and made sure to do the pant pant part louder than usual.

She loved the looks he was giving her when she did that. Although it was hidden, she could see the emotions running in his eyes.

Rin then decided to rinse off the soap from her body. Grabbing the pail with hot water and the clean rag, she dipped the piece of cloth in the pail, making sure to soak it with the hot water. Rin then proceeded to start from her upper chest and drag the cloth down her body, going slower over her chest area and thighs, and, just for emphasis, let out a long sigh of extreme contentment.

Sesshomaru couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Why is she acting like this? My youkai is screaming for me to go over there and teach her a thing or two, but I am in control, and it would be wrong. I need to try and focus on something else, or think about something else...

Sesshomaru closed his eyes, but all he could see was her hand running down her naked chest and her perfect figure. He cracked one eye open only to see her head tilted back, eyes closed, and her body arched upwards in a very tempting position while letting out a small moan.

As she lay in that position, as swiftly as light he moved over to her and placed his lips over hers, putting his hand on her lower back to support her and keep her in that position. This wasn't a sweet, slow kiss. Quite the contrary; it was fast, hungry, and some-what forceful, but not so much that it was distasteful.

Rin was shocked. She wanted to provoke him, but she didn't think that his evil side would win over his better judgement! All she could do was let the crush of their lips' meeting wash over her.

Slowly, he put her down, but kept his lips on hers. With his hands, he dragged them where the cloth had been, slowly over her breasts and rosy peaks, and when he did so she moaned against him, knowing she approved of his actions.

"Oh kami!" she managed to moan out over his lips, and arched her body against his hands, encouragement for him to continue.

Although this was causing her wound pain, she didn't care, she wasn't going to show that, not right now anyway.

Sesshomaru almost smiled, but instead decided to pull his lips down the column of her throat, and began to softly lick where her pulse was. It was fast in irregular, and he knew this was all because of him.

She moaned again, and put her wet hands through his silver locks, pulling his head closer to her so he wouldn't stop. She could feel her wound opening, and prayed it wouldn't bleed.

Just to show her how he was feeling, he took his hands and placed them on her stomach, simply drawing circles, very slowly and gradually fallinglower and lower. Now she was making sounds, urging him to go faster to where she needed the attention most.

He felt himself harden, and took this as a bad sign. Sesshomaru knew that if he continued doing this, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He was already fighting an inner battle, things had gone too far, and they needed to stop before they got worse.

Rin was in a daze. She was experiencing all these feelings she'd never had before, and was loving every minute of it. She didn't want it to ever stop.

Rin felt some blood trickle out of her wound, and mentally cursed. It was beginning to hurt, and now he would smell the blood. Or maybe she would be lucky and he was too caught up in his emotions and not notice?

If only I could feel like this forever...these new feelings, like this Rin is climbing a mountain, and Rin is so close to the top...Oh kami, Rin doesn't want this to end!

All of a sudden Sesshomaru's trailing stopped, and he abruptly stood up, and easily slipped back into his cold mask.

"Yameru. Your wound has opened, I can smell the blood. Get ready, You have 10 minutes. The servents will bring you a kimono and new bandaging. This Sesshomaru is going to go and do some last minute paper work before leaving. You will be dressed and ready in 20 minutes or we will not go. This Sesshomaru has no time to waste."

With that comment, he was out of the room just as quickly as he had came in.

When his fingers had stopped their trailing, Rin's instinct was to cry out and beg him to continue, but she managed to not say anything.

Yameru? Nani? Naze desu ka...? Why did he stop? The reason was not for my wound, this Rin could tell from how he was acting he didn't want to stop! Maybe he will tell Rin later... -sighs out loud- This Rin better finish rinsing off, otherwise Sesshomaru-sama will yell at Rin and not take her to see Kagome. Rin really wants to see Kagome...maybe she will tell Rin why he stopped. Hai! Kagome will know!

With a smile on her face, Rin finished off rinsing normally, and waited for the servents to come. Finally, when they came, they brought a big piece of cloth for her to dry off with, and a clean kimono, which they helped her put on.

Just as she promised, Rin waited at the front of the castle for Sesshomaru in 15 minutes. Her hair was very messy and still wet, but Rin didn't bother doing anything with it, such as brushing it or attempting to dry it somehow.

Sesshomaru strolled out a minute later, looking regal as usual, and merely looked at her for a quick second to acknowledge his presence.

All of a sudden, a screaming gami came out of the palace, holding his staff that was too big for him, making him look quite funny as he ran.

Rin couldn't supress a giggle when she saw him running like that screaming,

"Wait for this lowly one, Master!! Onegai?!!?!"

Rin laughed loud and well, not caring what either of the two thought of her. She managed to calm herself, but didn't stop a smile from staying on her lips.

"Ready to go? We will not be taking Ah-Un today. This Sesshomaru already has you to look after. Jaken, you shall be staying at the palace and placing in those orders I gave you not a few moments ago. Rin?"

She lept onto his cloud, and he held her close to make sure she didn't fall. Finally, they lifted off the ground and high into the skies togo to Kagome's ningen village.

Rin had never been so excited...except maybe for a few minutes ago. Both of those things were equally exciting, each in their own different ways...

This Rin must remember to ask Kagome about Sesshomaru's strange behaviour! Perhaps she can give me some of her knowledge on men, after all; she has Inu Yasha...but is he really considered a man? More like a mean puppy...

Rin laughed aloud again at her thoughts, and Sesshomaru gave her a weird, questionning look.

"Nothing Sesshomaru-sama! Honto ne!"

Author's Note:

Ahhhh gomen nasai everyone!

I thought this chapter would be the one where Sesshomaru would take Rin to the ningen village, but I guess not.

I felt like I needed some substance to their growing relationship, because so far they hadn't really done anything together. Anyway, don't me for unknowingly lieing, I would never do it on purpose. Please don't forget to review!

Yes, I know adding the song was kinda weird and maybe stupid...give me your comments on that, and if I get bad reviews about it, I'll re-edit the chapter and take it out.

This chappie took a long time to write, believe it or not. Actually, all my chapters are taking longer than I've planned to write, but since I have fans like all of you, I don't mind it, I promise!
