A New Beginning

Sesshomaru was quite content with the idea of confining Rin. He was almost gloating as he walked towards her inner-apartment's door. Without knocking, as was customary, he silently opened it, and haughtily walked in. Stopping in mid-stride, his heart skipped a beat at the scene that played out before him.

He stood, dumbfounded, at her entranceway, unable to move, watching her fight with her comb. Rin was sitting at her desk, her arms held up high, over and slightly backwards, askance to her head, where her hands were busy trying to pull her comb through a large, unruly knot of hair. Her mouth was drawn into a frown, as she bit her bottom lip in concentration, groaning. Her nightshirt, still wet and very revealing, was plastered against every lithe curve of her body, molding it against the silky softness of the cloth.

Completely out of character, without thinking, in two strides he was behind her back, reaching out towards her hand, grasping the comb, easily prying it from her fingers. Not a word was spoken as Sesshomaru took it from Rin, and proceeded to un-do her tangled knot of hair, being careful not to pull too hard against it.

Rin could not believe what had just transpired. Sesshomaru was actually combing, GROOMING, her hair. She looked up at him through her long lashes, studying his graceful movements reflected in her mirror plating.

His face was just as stoic as ever, not letting anything show, but Rin could feel an undercurrent within him. He was holding himself back, she could sense it, feel it, but...back from what? Was he still angry with her? And yet, if that were the case, why was he here, grooming her? Would he not have had her summoned to his quarters to chastise her? For what, though, she could simply not fathom, for Rin felt that she done nothing wrong.

Sesshomaru looked down upon his hands, knowing full well that he was only trying to buy himself some time. Time to compose himself, so that he might be able to tell her of his plans for the next several days. Plans that included her confinement. He also knew just what to expect when this bit of news came forth. Finally managing to pull the comb completely through Rin's hair without hurting her, and proceeding to thoroughly comb her long locks, making sure that all knots were gone, he took hold of her shoulders, and, pulling her up onto her feet, Sesshomaru proceeded to turn Rin around to face him.

As Rin turned, her scantily clad body brushed itself against her Lord's, making her... gasp...and him...flinch...against their touch. Thinking that she'd repulsed him, Rin bowed her head, hiding herself against her cascading hair, her cheeks growing hot. As she was about to apologise, something very unexpected happened. Something snapped deeply within the Tai Youkai.

"TO HELL WITH HER CONFINEMENT!"

Sesshomaru growled, and, reaching out, he grabbed hold of her chin and tilted her face upwards, so that they could look straight into each others eyes, her chocolate brown melting into his molten gold. He bent his head down towards her and crushed his lips against hers, kissing her, letting all of his pent up feelings, urges, buried deeply inside of him for so very long now, burst forthe, as it should have been several full moons ago.

There would be no turning back, he knew. His Youkai had spoken, had chosen. She was his. It was too late. By this night's end, he would stake his claim on her, and they would be mates.

Rin felt his arms snake around her, crushing her body against his as he dominated her mouth. She wrapped her own arms tightly around his neck, underneath his long mane of hair, clasping her fingers together. Moaning against his lips, she pressed her body closely against his, letting him know that she understood, and that she would let him have his way with her. Rin had wanted, even dreamed of this for so long now, that there was no way that she'd do anything to compromise this moment in time between the two of them.

Panting, Sesshomaru pushed her away from his embrace, but never letting his gaze leave hers.

"We are both severely overdressed." He growled, as he cupped one of her breasts in a clawed hand, thumbing the nipple against the wet fabric, making it harden against his touch.

Rin, smiling coyly up at him, started to untie his evening attire. Soon the white haori
had been freed from it's binding knot, and she opened it, letting her fingers play over his skin, gently, shyly teasing him as she traced over his markings.

Sesshomaru groaned. He wasn't quite sure as to what she would do next, but he did know what he was going to do. Grabbing the front of her nightdress, just underneath her collarbone, he pulled hard against the yielding fabric, slicing it open with his claws, exposing her full, ripe breasts for his hungry eyes to gaze upon.

Rin gasped, instinctively moving to cover herself, but Sesshomaru stopped her.

"No, Rin. Do not hide yourself from me. Let me look."

Rin closed her eyes, blushing fiercely, as she felt his gaze running completely over her.

"Beautiful. You are so very beautiful." She heard him whisper just before feeling his hot, moist lips against her right breast, licking the nipple. As he took it into his mouth, suckling it, he heard Rin whimper as she arched herself towards him.

"Sesshomaru..." Rin moaned, feeling as if her legs were going to give out on her.

Sensing this, Sesshomaru broke away from her, breathing heavily, and bending down, he picked her up bridal-style, covering her with the opened folds of his haori. He turned and strode towards her bedroom door, clearing it in three strides, and made his way towards his own apartments, deciding to continue this in the comfort of his own bed.

'AND MAY KAMI HELP ANYONE WHO SHOULD STAND IN MY WAY!' He thought, growling.

I sent this in a bit too early for my tastes, but I didn't really have much of a choice. I've been having BIG problems (with a capital 'B') with my computer. I lost chapter 2 three times and had to start completely over from scratch each & every time. That's why it's not the oneshot that it was supposed to be. I really did not want to have to do that all over again with chappie 3. I've wasted enough time as it is because of this cluncker that is suposed to be a so-called 'Big Computer Brain'.

Sooo, needless to say, in the very near future, chapter 5 will have THE MUCH AWAITED LEMON!!!

******If you've liked what you've read so far, then may I suggest my short story on 'Eternal Destiny, One Hanyou, One School Girl..'. If you can't find it, here's a tip. Go onto LiveJournal. Look up Inugrrrl's LJ. Then slowly browse down on the left hand side of what she has posted. Hit on 'Eternal Destiny'. There, not only will you find me...but a plethoria of FANTASTIC STORIES that are sure to please any fussy reader. Many an author has graced their presence there. Many a story for many a taste.*****

As for mine...it's called 'Springfever Obsession'. It's about Inuyasha & Kagome, and has a couple of nice lemons. It should keep all of you occupied until I can finish THIS little tid-bit over the week-end.

At least, I hope so.

Well, until next time, Luv ya & leave ya. JA NE.
