I want you...

Rin was excited. She had never ridden on her master, for she felt it was out of line and never bothered to ask, nor did he ever offer. “His behavior is rather strange. .. Maybe something is wrong?” she thought to herself. Besides, the wind felt great and she was rather thrilled to be given such a rare opportunity. “I wonder what he is thinking about…” she pondered. “He’s been acting strange ever since we left Kaede…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“My Rin…” His thoughts of her seemed never ending. “You complete me, but does this Sesshomaru complete you?” There was no doubt in his mind that he loved her, but he didn’t know how to exactly tell her. Would she reject him? Deny him? Would she embrace him? What would she do? His heart ached for an answer.

Within a few hours, they reached his castle. “Finally, we are here!” he thought to himself. As Rin dismounted, he transformed into his humanoid form. “Tonight, this Sesshomaru wishes to see you Rin. Dress nicely for I have something to discuss with you. Be sure to have rested.” With that he walked off without even one glance behind him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rin became nervous. “I don’t understand…did I do something wrong?” At that thought, dread filled her heart. She strived for perfection for she felt that was always what her Lord asked of her. She never wanted to disappoint him, ever.

As she entered her chamber, there was a box on her bed. It had a bow of silk and wrapped in the most colorful canvas she had ever seen. There were so many colors that she almost became hesitant to open the box. Carefully she unwrapped the box and found a beautiful kimono sealed inside. It was a creamy beige color with golden seams across the neckline. The sleeves were long and dropped fairly low, giving a look of grace. “This must be what he desires me to wear…how odd of a gift when returning so soon…” It was early in the afternoon after they arrived, and she was extremely tired. Placing the kimono gently on the other side of the bed, she lay down closing her eyes, wondering what the night had in store for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshomaru quickly rushed to his quarters. He needed to gather his thoughts and figure out exactly what he wanted to say to her. She had already learned of sex, considering his hanyou brother had mated Kagome, and she took it upon herself to enlighten Rin on all the details. He had been grateful, for he had no idea how to describe anything. He had always been brief and to the point, but was advised that tonight, it was important for him to be thorough and to take his time.

He thought until he could think no more, and laid down to rest, for he traveled so quickly and had some serious plans for his beloved Rin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“My Lady? It is time for you to wake. I have brought your robe and prepared your bath. Open your eyes, My Lady.”

Rin’s personal servant Kari had arrived to wake her. “Ummm…? How long have I been sleeping? Oh no! Is this one late to meet Lord Sesshomaru?” Almost immediately her eyes began to tear for she started to fear the worst.

“No my Lady. I have woken you early to prepare you. Come hither so you may bathe and I may do your hair. Make haste or you WILL end up leaving the Lord waiting.” With that, Rin immediately jumped out of bed and followed Kari to her bathing quarters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right around the time Rin was almost done getting ready, Sesshomaru had sent Jaken to make sure she was alright and had him escort her to the dining area. He was nervous, and anxious at the same time. It had been awhile since he had her dress formally, and only requested her dressed as so for his amusement. He had food prepared for her, for he needed none nor desired anything but her. His anxiety was driving his youkai mad, for he wanted nothing but to see her naked underneath him. However, he wanted to do this properly as well. His youkai could wait until the bedroom.

He hoped.

Within moments of him entering the dining area, she had appeared, more gorgeous than he had ever seen her to be. The kimono he had made for her was beautiful, and he loved the way it showed not much , but enough detail to her cleavage that caused his mind to wander for a moment.

“Rin..” barely a whisper. He muttered her name as if he had no breath left, for she stole it all away. He watched her sit, not moving, for he feared if he moved too suddenly, he might drag her else where. He needed to regain his composure, for just one look at her almost drove him mad. Her skin was creamy, slightly sun kissed, with the most beautiful brown eyes. So innocent was his Rin.

He calmly sat, and gave her permission to eat. He watched her every move, the way she ate, the way she drank. He watched her chest rise and fall, the way her throat moved as he watched her swallow. The way she licked her lips. Oh how he hungered for a taste, but made no move until the time was right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin watched her lord. She knew he was watching her every move, and she felt heat rise to her cheeks. “What could he possible be so interested in? He has seen this one eat many times before. What has changed?”

She took her time, for she knew he was waiting until she was done. She was tentative to his movements, for he barely seemed to breathe as he watched her. She looked at him. Studied his face to see a reaction. She could find none. Then she looked into his eyes. She saw something different, and she felt a warm sensation that dug into her very soul. She couldn’t help herself as her mind wandered, for only a brief moment, of what his body could do to hers. She clenched her legs tightly, as her body throbbed for him, if only for a moment, for she knew it was wrong to feel that way, even though she was the only one eating.

“But I’m only human. He could never desire something that he feels is so grotesque…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He continued to watch her. They made eye contact, and then he could smell her. She was aroused and he hardened immediately. He wanted her, and for an instant he saw red. Then all of a sudden he felt her grief. A wave of sadness that permeated through out the room.

“Why does Rin feel grief?” he asked her. He waited for a response and got nothing. An awkward silence filled the room, and he was determined to break it. So he asked her again. “What saddens Rin so?”

“You..”

Barely a whisper, but he heard it. It felt like a knife was stabbing into his very being.

“What has this Sesshomaru done to have caused you grief? Why do you whisper? Does my presence pain you so?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin looked up at her master. Tears dared to fall from her eyes, as she struggled to maintain her composure. She met his eyes, her tears fell and she simply answered, “For I am human and you will never love Rin as much as this one loves her Lord.”

As soon as her emotions slipped, Rin ran for her room. She was embarrassed to cry over what she knew was inevitable. His presence made her heart fill with joy, but she knew they could never be one. She was human, he was a Pure-bred Demon. She knew her heart would betray her, but only he made her heart ache.

Rin ran into her room and slammed the doors. She didn’t bother to lock them as she hid under her bed covers as if to hide from him. He was going to send her away, and she knew it. All because she couldn’t keep her feelings to herself. He resented her even more now. She had become weak and her master refused weakness in his castle.

She did her best no to sob loudly, but could not stop her tears of sadness from the pain in her heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshomaru watched her run, and did not immediately go after her. He waited a moment, calmly rose from his seat, and followed Rin to her room. He knew he hid his feelings for some time, but he knew what to do now. He would prove he loved her. Better yet she belonged to him. He would show his love and demand her submission in the process. He grinned with excitement for he had not mated in quite sometime. Rin. His Rin. She will know of his love, and he will show it in every way possible.
