A Forbidden Love

The morning arrived more swiftly than expected. To Sesshomaru’s relief he didn’t need to wake Rin. She was still unconscious when the sun had risen, so he had thrown her onto his back and ventured into the sky in search of a Demon Market. When he arrived he was not surprised to hear the noises of other demons. Both laughing at him and the human others in shock due to his process; none of this he cared for. He went to a side vendor to ask him where he might find a demon ward. “You; urchin.” The demon itself had no face; he wore a Buddhist cap and long green Kimono. On his forehead were two Red ovals, if you had been looking at him from the side you would have noticed they had used to be horns. With the demon having no mouth he spoke through the mind. “Yes?”





“I need a demon to tag along with me and keep watch on this girl…” The demon laughed; “You are foolish. No demon will pray watch over a mortal girl. They are scum, only good for food. You are a great lord why waste your time with this girl?” Sesshomaru grabbed the merchant’s throat. The poison in his claws brought a mist of lime around the head. There were no further words from this demon; his head remained in Sesshomaru’s hand as the rest of the body fell to the ground. This gathered many demons attention. A group of demon women holding elegant fans in many colors swept towards him. “Such power, it’s so fetching.” Their purring words and their obvious sexual desires only distracted Sesshomaru’s mind. He stood there as the women surrounded him. “Let us take the girl. We will stop her from being your burden, then you can drink with us; and we can enjoy all that is good about our heritage.” Tempted and weak from his own sexual needs he allowed the women to take Rin’s body. He paid close attention however to which woman had her. A woman in a bright yellow and orange Kimono had grabbed her. She had long Velvet hair with beads of red berry earrings and adornments. She also had a pale skin, blue lipstick and lavender eyes.





They brought him to a wide open Dojo, many of the women played instruments using Demon magic for seduction. Sesshomaru drank and ate with these women; he was beginning to toy with them when a loud scream echoed through the Dojo. The girls clinging to the Demon Lord tried to keep him relaxed and giggled to try and muffle the noise.

“Sesshomaru-Sama! Ah!” Sesshomaru recognized that voice anywhere. It was Rin. He stood quickly his demonic aura strong enough to fling the women backward as he headed out the door. He wasn’t dressed in his armor or his own kimono anymore. He was actually dressed in a dark blood red Kimono, with white Hakama pants. They had crane designs in the same blood red towards the bottom of the pants. Sesshomaru sniffed the air, he smelt Rin’s natural smell, the same as it had been at the spring, but he also smelt warm Sake. “Rin.” He called out to her. Nothing. Then not many rooms over the rice paper doors flew open and a Demon holding a Large butcher’s knife had swung at Rin. He body was sent flailing into the adjacent walk way. Sesshomaru was able to see her then. This Giant demon was Fat and Robust. He had short green hair and many boils upon his face and arms. Sesshomaru assumed this was due to Rin’s struggle to become food; and from whatever scolding hot concoction he had rustled up.





Sesshomaru drew his claws and knocked away the Demon Hatchet. “Hmn? So you must be the Lord my Lady was so fond of. This Human is meat lord, why are you protecting it?” Rin moved slightly showing she would wake soon. “Leave now or I will kill you.” The Demon laughed. “You may have Prowess Sesshomaru, but I will not be made a mockery for letting a human girl live.” The demon swung his large knife at Sesshomaru. Within the draw of the slow fat demon Sesshomaru had brought out his whip of poison and sliced him in half. Sesshomaru Dodged to the Right avoiding the blade which brought the force of Sesshomaru’s blow to an end as the body slid forward the internals stinking the walkway. Sesshomaru looked behind him at the group of women many feet away all huddled together. They had watched Sesshomaru kill their largest protector with ease over the Human girl. Sesshomaru’s stare was unmistakable. Should they not leave he would kill them as well. Unfortunately for the woman who had brought Rin in Sesshomaru moved to her and grabbed her by her hair almost snapping her neck. The snake demon tried to transform, but even so Sesshomaru’s grip was perfect and she had no way of escaping him. She hissed and asked foolishly. “Why are you taking me? I have not hurt the girl; I only left her in a room. It is not my job to take care of humans.” Sesshomaru yanked on her head. “I need a demon ward, now unless you have someone else you are going to do so. If you don’t I will kill you. Be grateful I haven’t already.” The demon trembled, and her scales lifted. “Wait! I will never do such a thing but there is a leper that we keep here, as a kind gesture. He was a demon who was terribly mauled when he was young and as he grew his scars caused his face to look grotesque. He is great with medicines and has no genitals. He would be great for you my Lord.” Sesshomaru smirked. “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t kill you now that I know this. You are foolish.” With that he snapped her neck and the body went lifeless on the floor.





Rin finally awoken from the incident shuddered as she looked at the body oozing its contents next to her. She felt vomit rising up into her throat and not being able to stop it she turned and over the edge of the walkway puked onto the dirt and grass. “Sesshomaru?” Rin looked around but he was nowhere to be found. She noticed the demon girls; they had looked like the one who had tried to dip her in the pot of oil and vegetables. She felt chills cover her arms and back. “Sesshomaru!” She slowly crawled away noticing the farther away she moved the more the girls closed in. As She clumsily got to her feet and ran she knocked over her Lord who had been coming up behind her. Next to him had been the Leper. Sesshomaru got to his feet and so did Rin.



“Rin, I have another ward to accompany you for when I’m gone. You will obey and listen to him if I am not there. Understand?”



Rin looked into Sesshomaru’s eyes with rebellion aflame.



“No Sesshomaru, I don’t want another Ward. Please my lord, I assure you I will stay out of Danger…”



“ENOUGH!” Sesshomaru growled. He was not asking Rin if she wanted a ward. He was not her father, he was… his mind went blank. The only word that came to mind was companion, but such a word could not be appropriate for their relationship. “I was not asking you if you wanted a ward Rin. This is how it is going to be; now we are leaving.” Rin was hurt; the feeling of pain that sank into her heart she couldn’t evolve into any word she knew. She could only nod and obey her lord. Rin hadn’t paid any mind to the Leper Sesshomaru had picked but eventually she would have to look at him. Sesshomaru left with his belongings and headed in the direction of his Father’s western region. There he would stay in his Father’s old Dojo and prepare for Mating season. Time had slipped by him rather quickly; this would have to be a year he chose. A final mate that would stay at his Dojo and bare his pups. Sesshomaru’s mind was contemplating many of these thoughts, and he didn’t like the idea of being tied down. He never had. He was not that type of man; much less he was never fond of a clingy woman. She might talk too much, or argue over simple things, she would ask him for things he did not care to give her. Having a mate was more trouble than it was worth, but it had one larger picture that Sesshomaru had to continue. Passing the InuTaisho blood. Continuing his father’s pure demon lineage. He knew Inuyasha could not fulfill this job. Therefore he could mate with demon or human, it was obvious he was going to choose a Human woman, seeing as he was shunned form the demon society long ago. Perhaps his fame across the land gained him respect, but he still was not acceptable. He was still nothing without his swords, unlike most demons.





They had journey for another two weeks. Sesshomaru was relieved, this leper had taken Rin to bathe every night and using his skill of herbs made the water mask her scent. He had also kept her occupied for days in towns while Sesshomaru met up with Demon women for his own needs. Sesshomaru was getting comfortable again. This Leper and Rin should be returning any moment this day and Sesshomaru planned to reward both the leper and Rin with a fine meal or perhaps a gift. He was not normally in such a cheerful mood. The day waned on and still no sign of Rin or the Leper. Sesshomaru was getting impatient. He sniffed the air; the leper’s herbs were very good. They even blocked Rin’s scent from him. But they didn’t mask the lepers’. Sesshomaru smelt his rotting flesh as clear as the trees and their dying leaves.



Rin grabbed the towel from the rack at the local town’s spring. The Leper had taken her here and the town was so friendly and nice to her. They had taken her three kimonos to wash and had left her one finely wrapped kimono. She wondered why she was being treated so kindly. The Leper stood in the doorway, the fog covering much of his Maimed face. The one thing Sesshomaru had failed to check was if the leper had truly been neutered. While Sesshomaru had been busy with his own agenda and leaving the leper to babysit the girl he had studied her. He had studied Sesshomaru. He knew that she was quite beautiful, that she wore 3 kimonos to keep others from catching onto her scent. He knew that she had not been able to live in a human village by the foods she ate. He also knew that she didn’t fear demons, but she did fear death and not being by her Sesshomaru. This was an easy situation to manipulate. Sesshomaru left for days on end therefore Rin would not worry, she could wander and then A-Un could find Sesshomaru for her. Or He himself could. She was oblivious to anyone having an intention to hurt her or use her therefore she was kind and friendly to all. The Leper had gained her trust and had eliminated Sesshomaru’s keen nose by using his herbs to mask Rin’s scent. Now he could have his way with the young vixen, and he knew she would not resist. He saw her dark fantasies, he knew what naughty playing she did at night, and she would enjoy him; whether or not it was her intention.



The Kimono that Rin was now in, was a creamy white with golden designs of wind, and lavender salamanders, and blue chrysanthemums. She had no string to tie her hair up so it fell to her ass; the women of the village put her in make up giving her green lipstick and perfume to wear. They called her their princess. Rin was amused, she was having quite a time. It was then they brought out a travelling band and puppet show for everyone to watched. The Leper took this as an opportunity to cast a barrier and a sleeping dust around the village. If Sesshomaru were to come looking the barrier should camoflauge the village and he could pass over. Once the Leper had finished he noticed Rin walking around. He was surprised she wasn’t fast asleep, but little did her know. Rin had been resurrected by Meido. She was not of the living world yet she was not dead for Tenseiga had given her life. The Leper was frustrated. This definitely complicated things.







Rin looked around at all the sleeping people and an eerie feeling crept into her gut. She wondered where the ward had gone, she didn’t remember his name but she remembered his hunched over back and his feet. As she looked around she felt a tight grip around her throat and wrists. She felt dizzy. She wanted to run, she was afraid; that ward was not Sesshomaru. He couldn’t protect her; he might have left her even. Her eyes searched frantically around, she attempted to scream. No sound came from her throat. She was panicking; while on the ground she wiggled and flopped to get away. Turning around finally she saw his face. It was the Leper, have of his face had caved in and his eye was not present on that side. His mouth was just a small thin lin and his flesh had bubbled up in all places. He had few teeth, and what was there were rotting, his whole body zigzagged the effects of the mauling. Rin was horrified! She had to escape him, she had to get to Sesshomaru. Her wrists were still bound by some invisible strength and she still had no voice. Tears streamed from her eyes as he took her away to one of the huts. There he tore at the beautiful Kimono, his long yellow nails were jagged from him biting them. They made terrible shreads in the fabric and made string like beds for Rin to be wrapped in. This demon un-clothed himself. Should any other being have seen him they would vomit and beat him on sight. Rin was no different. She puked at the sight of him; he was disgusting; and much more. Apparently around his genitals were puss filled blisters and whelps. The Leper knelt above her. She avoided his lips, anything of his that he tried to touch her with. To no avail he grabbed her face by the cheeks and forced a kiss, his slobber and nasty face tormented Rin. She was crying still. He now smirked ending the kiss a line of spit trailing from her to his mouth.

The Leper took the stringy parts of the fabric and stripping them from rin used them to bind her up against the wall. There her body, naked; hanged her hands risen toward the corners of the ceiling her bound her ankles together. He admired her like a demon with webs for wings. Her makeup made her a heavenly object. Her green lips reminded him of poison; that brought him to run his decrepit thumb over her mouth. “You are mine now Rin. Sesshomaru didn’t know what he had with you, he didn’t pay attention to you… but I have. I adore you, I want you. I am all the things he could never be. You stimulate me; you bring out the animal in me; you are…. Such a …. Good Rin…” He used his tongue on her breasts sucking on them, even though Rin couldn’t scream she still writhed and opened her mouth to. This Leper used his magic to lower the fabric and bring her closer to him so that he could penetrate her. His breathing held weezing , and his body sweat furiously as he dove into her. He rejoiced at the smell of her blood that ran down her leg and onto his body. Her bouncing breasts and the droplets of tears flying from her eyes. He moved her into odd positions, such as her resting on her neck bone as he stood like a squatting frog and drilled into her womanhood. Another he lifted her up and forced her to suck his mutilated member. The last was one she had once hoped with Sesshomaru. He lifted one of her legs and from the side thrust into her. He had come over and over, and eventually she had stopped bleeding; and the pain had faded. But Rin’s Humiliation would remain forever. She had lost her only special gift to him. This Monster her Lord had set for her to obey.



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



Sesshomaru had searched for some time now. It was growing darker every moment. As he rushed over some trees he noticed a shift in energy, A Barrier. He lowered himself from the sky and taking out Bakusaiga he eliminated the barrier. It was a village fast asleep. All that could be heard was the sound of the animals and a grotesque grunting noise. Apparently the Leper had enjoyed Rin so much he had prepared a meal and left her lying naked on the floor as he fed her and washed her body. There were many scratches and still lots of blood stains on her thighs. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying so much and there were no tears left for her to cry. She stared into the Flame wondering why her Sesshomaru hadn’t come for her. Why he had left her with this beast whom ripped her soul apart. She never wanted to be touched by a man ever again. Rin shut her eyes, her heart destroyed and her pride broken. Sesshomaru headed towards the hut seeing as it was the only with any activity in the village. Sesshomaru drew nearer and smelt the Leper. But he was also smelling something else… Blood! He walked into the room and the Leper Jumped to his feet and tried to hide in the corner, but what good would that do? Sesshomaru knew as well as him he had nowhere to run. It was then he looked at the naked body wrangled on the floor. “Rin!” Sesshomaru frowned and his energy filled the room, his aura and essence bringing about its own wind. He felt himself turning into his dog demon form, but he knew he mustn’t. Rin might be injured further. He wondered how he could have not noticed the Lepers admiration and intentions sooner. He wondered if he should even be around Rin; if maybe the time had come for her to leave his side. To pursue her own life; find her own…mate. Sesshomaru hid his face with this thought and taking out his whip of Light ferociously beat and sliced at the Leper. He made sure not to kill him, he wanted to make him endure pain and humiliation from both human and demon. To have him hurt in his deepest part of his soul for what he had done to Rin.





With the Leper’s blood pouring into the pit with the fire Sesshomaru went to Rin’s side. Her body was so soft and light. Her hair had blood all over it and she was bruised in many places. Her wrists especially. Sesshomaru looked at her and it only reminded him of her destroyed body from long ago. When she was young and killed by the wolves, how he had come back to see her, but had lost the one person who asked for nothing but gave him everything. Even now she asked for nothing, she only stayed by his side. She came to him when he asked, she was his companion so he were never alone, she waited for him no matter how long he were away. Sesshomaru felt the damp cold feeling of wetness on his chin. He had shed a tear, this had almost happened once before. When he had brought her to the underworld and lost her forever. How even though he hadn’t asked Jaken and his mother both knew he didn’t want to lose her. Could it be now that it was him running from the wolves? Running from feelings that had manifested and he could not control? Sesshomaru is always in control…but…He looked at Rin. Her fragile face with scratches and cuts on her lips; he couldn’t understand what brought him to tears. Was she dead?! He began to wonder, she hadn’t moved at his touch or at the mention of her name. She was bloody all over… could it be that this wretch had taken all from Rin. Sesshomaru’s face stiffened. It was then he felt a small wiggle from Rin. Her eyes brought themselves to open slightly. She caught a glimpse of Sesshomaru’s silver locks and her eyes quickly opened wide. “…Ses…Sesshomaru Sama!” Rin threw her arms around his Neck. “Please don’t ever leave me again. I will stay out of your way, but never leave me alone again. I won’t be in heat, I will make it stop, never again lord. I swear it…” It was like a splash of water for her. Tears unbounded poured from her eyes and she held him tighter than ever before. Sesshomaru held Rin and scooping up her legs he left the Hut. The Leper looked to follow but with the glare returned in his direction he had known that such a thing meant death.



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



Rin fell quickly back to sleep in Sesshomaru’s arms. He was so warm and he smelled so soothing. He had the calming scent of the forest, and his own unique smell. It was so special to her. Sesshomaru found a place that he and Rin could stay until her wounds healed. He wanted to ask her what happened. To wake her up and make her explain it. But he didn’t need to Rin leaving the comfort of his arms woke in desperation. She clung to his kimono sleeve like a frightened child. “Rin, tell me what happened. Why are you so bloody…” She turned from Sesshomaru. “I am too ashamed to say it my lord.” Sesshomaru clenched her arms tightly and shook her. “You will tell me. I want to know, I demand it!” There was anger in his voice and Rin dared not challenge her Lord. “Well, he took me to that village, he said it was to make me pretty for you. I didn’t know why everyone was so nice, and then they all fell asleep. I went to look for that Leper but, he had cast some spell and bound my wrists and my voice. I couldn’t cry out, no one could hear me. Then he…” Rin began to sob thinking about it. Sesshomaru aloud her to cry but not in his arms. He was familiar with this magic; he felt responsible for Rin’s rape. It was almost as if he had done it himself. It was then that Rin spoke to him and cut his heart in half. “He took the gift I was saving for you…”
