A prison without walls.

Rin lay in her bed staring at the ceiling, biting her lip, as she recalled her narrow escape earlier. Truthfully she was not certain what it was that her lord wished to discuss with her, but she remembered the last time he had cornered her with those exact words. ~ “I have something I wish to discuss with you, something I have put off for far too long.” ~ All though she never talked about it, that day remained ingrained in her memory. That was the day she had almost lost her beloved Sesshoumaru-sama. She had never felt pain as deeply as she did on that day, and never had she let her tears fall so freely in front of her lord in such a way.

Rin trusted Sesshoumaru with every ounce of her being, and to hear such horrible words escape his perfect lips was comparable to having her life taken by wolves. ‘Possibly worse.’ Rin sniffed as she placed her hand over her chest. ‘Why does anything have to change? What have I done to deserve this?’

A smile crossed her lips as she remembered times as a child, when the wolves invaded her dreams, and she sought refuge in Sesshoumaru’s bed. “He won’t even let me enter his room anymore.” She huffed as she rubbed at her sides. ‘Have I grown ugly?’ She wondered as she looked down at her adult body. She mentally cursed her ugly human body under her breath. She grabbed at her breasts attempting to flatten them against her frame, “Are they ever going to stop growing?” She whimpered. Deep down Rin knew that the changes in her body had something to do with Sesshoumaru’s changed behavior towards her, and she hated it.

She sighed heavily as she cupped her breasts in her hand. “He would never touch me like this.” Rin slowly closed her eyes, letting her thoughts drift to her dignified lord. ‘Oh, if only he would touch me.’ She groaned to herself as her hands moved over her body. Lately she found her thoughts drifting to the time she had thrown her body up against his when he first attempted to severe their connection. She had been too distraught at the time to realize fully what she was doing, but now, the idea seemed to fill her thoughts, warming her blood with a need she could not explain. Her hips ached with a pain she could not place. The juncture of her legs pleaded with her in a language she could not yet comprehend, as she imagined Sesshoumaru taking her in his strong arms, forcing his lips against hers in a passionate kiss.

Rin began to pant heavily and opened her eyes as she realized her finger had found its way in-between her legs. She had found herself in this position before, but did not understand why. Slowly, curiously, she moved her finger along the inside of her folds, letting her fingers explore this new area of her body. Her movements seemed to quench the throbbing between her legs as she dreamt of her demon lord once again. She closed her eyes tightly, replacing her hand with his as she brought her dream to life. She could almost hear him panting in time with her as her body came close to climax. Rin attempted to quiet her moans as they escaped her lips, as she quietly ravaged her body. She was close now, she could feel it. To what, she was unsure, but she desperately needed to find out. She bit her lip as she felt her body grow tense under her ministrations, her movements moving faster and faster as her heart pounded loudly in her chest. Rin opened her mouth in a silent scream as her entire body seemed to be flooded with these new sensations.

Her brain snapped to attention as she heard the turning of her door knob. She sat up quickly giving a quiet gasp, her heart still pounding in her chest as stared intently at the door. “Hello?” She squeaked quietly after a few moments of silence. “Is someone there?” She wrapped the top sheet securely around her naked form and walked slowly over to the door. Rin grasped the doorknob forcefully before slowly opening the door to peak around it and finding no one. She quirked an eyebrow as she stared at the empty hallway. Never in all her time in the castle had she heard even the slightest creek without being able to identify it. She eyed the empty hallway suspiciously before letting her eyes fall on the large door on the end. Quietly she crept to the end of the hall, placing her ear against Sesshoumaru’s door. She had done this many times as a child, but never in her entire life did she fear being discovered more then she did at this very moment. The room was quiet for several minutes before she could make out faint mumbling from the demon lord.

“She does not understand.” He mumbled in a monotone voice barely loud enough for Rin to hear. Rin brought her eyebrows together in a glare, before crossing her arms across her chest and walking back to her room. ‘I understand plenty.’ She grumbled internally as she shut her door quietly behind her. “He’ll always think of me as just a child.” She moaned as she flopped back into bed.

Rin let an evil part of her mind wander to the absolute best way to prove to him that she was no longer a child. She could not help but smile as she imagined the look on the demon lord’s face as she pinned him to the ground beneath her, grinding her hips against his. She sighed heavily as her hand began its journey south against her body again. “I’ll teach you to treat me like a child.” She giggled as she reveled in the new sensations she could produce so easily, once again letting her mind wandered to the sleeping demon down the hall.


***************** ****************** **********************

A week had passed since the night Sesshoumaru had stood outside Rin’s door, and still they had not come any closer to having the discussion he so desperately needed to be having with her. To the demon lord’s dismay it seemed their “little talk” was the least of his problems. Allowing him self to watch Rin sleep as they traveled had been unsettling enough, but now it seemed he found himself being drawn to her bed chambers more and more often. At first he would simply linger in the hallway, his step slowing as he took in the sounds and smells he had become accustom to. He would mentally berate himself for taking an interest in such a private moment and continue on his way. Lately, however, he found himself pressed hard against the door frame, clawing quietly against the door, while silently cursing the architect who placed their rooms so closely.

He bit his lip as he listened intently to the not-so-quiet moans that escaped the girl’s mouth, more and more often. Ever since that night he had first discovered Rin’s
“secret” he found her retreating to her room every time he attempted to speak with her. The soft moans and the sweet smells successfully kept him at bay, as he did not want to interrupt a private moment, however, he did not know how much longer he could control his animal urge to barge in and “assist” the young woman. Truthfully, she was slowly driving him mad. He heard his name quietly moaned and he found himself testing the door knob again, only to find it locked. For a reason that he could not explain, this infuriated him, and he pounded on the door before he had a chance to think.

He listened as Rin let out a small gasp and sputtered around her room nervously, “Yes?” She questioned with a surprised voice.

Sesshoumaru stood silent for a moment, staring at his clenched fist as he began to snap out of his drunken anger. “Rin, I-…I need to speak with you.” He answered uncertainly.

“Just a minute!” Rin answered as she gathered her clothing and attempted to straighten herself. She quickly dressed and rushed to the door, unlocking it and peeking around the door as she opened it.

Sesshoumaru stared at the smiling girl who stood before him, her face still flushed from her previous activity.

Rin smiled sweetly, as if nothing had been going on, unaware that her scent held no secrets from her demon lord.

“Rin I need to speak with you.” He stated again as he attempted to regain some control.

“All right,” She gleamed, “Come in.”
