Wicked Ways

Hiten tensed. Sesshomaru could see it as the man turned, his crimson gaze falling upon the dark outline of the intruder in the shadows. Hiten grinned evilly, tsking a bit as he stepped forward, his arms crossing over his chest as he spoke to the demon challenging him. “You? You come here and decide to foil my plan to get her. You..who so nicely used and abused her and left her to go on your merry fucking way. FUCK NO!!! You don’t realize how much she died the day you left. As much as she hated herself for it, she loved you. No matter how much she knew it would never be, a piece of her belonged to you.”

Sesshomaru hissed, stepping into the light as Manten came to stand beside his brother, cracking his knuckles as he laughed maniacally. “Can I kill him? He has pretty hair too.” Hiten nodded slowly, before turning back to face Rin.

Manten growled before he screamed to Sesshomaru as he charged, his claws bared at he waddled at full speed towards him. Sesshomaru barely faltered from his stance, before he leapt into the air, flipping forward before a heavy metal tip boot crashed into the back of Manten’s head, rendering him unconscious.

Hiten growled, turning once more towards Sesshomaru as he stood ntlyntly across the room. “You think you can come in here and just..” He drew closer to Sesshomaru as he spoke, but soon found himself dangling in the air. Sesshomaru’s claws tearing harshly at the flesh about Hiten’s neck as he tossed him across the room like a rag doll, before following closely behind him.

“You….” Sesshomaru grabbed Hiten’s collar, pulling him up to stand before he kneed him in the gut and let him fall once more.

“Ses….Sesshomaru…” Rin whispered in her sleep, but the noise was enough to freeze the two men in their places. Hiten grumbled and closed his eyes, knowing his plan would fail and he would lose his goddess forever. Sesshomaru raised his brows, a smile never crossing his lips as he moved to sit by her side.

Her muscles jolted in her sleep. Obviously, the girl was having a nightmare from the drugs solicited into her veins. He frowned, his hands moving to fix the corset about her slender form as he watched her sleeping face twisting with the wave of emotions displayed in her dream.

Sesshomaru let a hand smooth back Rin’s hair, before fingertips ran over the curves of her face, memories they shared flooding his mind. “I’m here, Rin….I’m here…right beside you.” He sighed a bit and shifted, his arms slipping under her form as he lifted her.

Hiten scrambled on the floor, grunting as he tried to regain his strength to face the demon carrying Rin. “She’s not yours!!” He cried out, before finally giving up as Sesshomaru passed him, never looking down to the harmed man.

Sesshomaru stopped, turning to look down to Hiten as he neared the door. “Funny….I was about to say the same thing.” And with a nod, he turned stepping out the door to free Rin from the dank environment of the warehouse. His car sat before the door, black in its sleekness.

He pulled the passenger door handle, allowing the door to open before he settled Rin upon the front seat. He crouched down next to her, sighing heavily as he inclined the seat to allow her comfort for the ride. “Kami, Rin…” It was almost a plea for her to wake up, but she just stayed still, her chest rising and falling slowly with her breaths as she whimpered a bit.

Sesshomaru stood, closing the passenger side as he moved to sit in the driver’s seat. He gripped the steering wheel, looking to the sleeping girl a moment, before turning back to the road as he started his car. He moved quickly, heading for his house in the mountains. “There….we can be alone, my kitten.”
