Run

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!


Sesshoumaru found Rin in his room standing on the tips of her toes as she tried to take down his shredded curtains. “Rin…” he said slowly.


She spun around and when she saw who is was she fell to her knees, bowing before her lord. He was relieved to find that she still was devoid of fear. For a moment he himself was afraid she would fear him, just like all the others. “Sorry my Lord, I was replacing your curtains, I didn’t expect you to be back so soon. I apologize; a good servant should never be seen.”


“Rin, it’s alright, I wanted to see you.”

At this she lifted her eyes to meet his. “Why my Lord? Do you need something?”

“Yes, yes, I do need something…someone rather. I need you, Rin. I realized last night I need someone to talk to. Therefore I have decided to make you the new royal advisor.”

“But I know nothing of war time or tactics my Lord. I couldn’t possible be of any help to you.” Rin said rising to a kneeling position.

“It’s alright; I’ve never really listened to any advisor’s war suggestions anyway.” He said with a dry chuckle.

Rin looked at him uncertainly for a moment before nodding and hoisting herself to her feet. What did this mean? He needed her? How did he need her exactly? “My Lord?” Rin asked

“Yes?”

“I’m an advisor, not a harlot.”

He smiled down at the feisty young girl before him. “Yes, I know this.”

Without another word the two of them left the room each going their separate ways. Each content and absorbed in thought. That evening as Rin sat in her room she was surprised to see Jaken’s head appear in her doorway. “My Lord requests that you report to his room. An emergency meeting with his advisor.” He spat out the word advisor as if it were rotting meat.


Rin silently stood up and made her way towards Sesshoumaru’s room. Before she could knock on his door she heard a voice ring out. “Enter”


She cautiously opened the door and peeked her head inside before the rest of her body followed it. “You called?”

“Yes, please sit down.”

Rin moved towards the chair across from where Sesshoumaru was sitting and looked about uneasily. “Relax, we are here merely to talk.” He reassured her “…about my mate.”

“Oh” Rin muttered sounding a little more than disappointed. “What about my Lady?”

“Tell me, what do you sense in her?”

Rin had never really thought about sensing anything in her. It was a rather odd question. As if reading her thought Sesshoumaru spoke once again. “Do you notice anything off about her?”

“Yes.” Rin confessed. “I can’t put my finger on it, but there is defiantly something wrong. She seems almost childlike in the way she behaves.”

“I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it.”

“I know that the two of you were arranged…but what is the story behind it?”

“Long before either Kimiko or I were born our father’s lands were under constant attack. The two had an alliance, a weak alliance, but an alliance none the less. Both my mate and I were still but pups when our fathers decided. The two warlords came together deciding that the next generation, our generation, should unite. The unsteady agreement remained for quite some time until my father decided to take a human mate. When she birthed that disgrace half-demon brother of mine Kimiko’s father severed the deal.

“He feared that I would fall to the same weakness as my father and so for years I was no longer intended. Yet fate has a cruel way of turning around when you least expect it to. Before he left for his last battle he returned to the Lord of the Southern Lands. He made amends and convinced his fellow Lord to fix the broken betrothal. And so here I am mated to a disloyal wench. Such a bitch makes even the bravest demon shy away from mating.”


Rin sat quietly pondering what the striking demon before her had just said. “How did your father make amends?”

Sesshoumaru’s eyes darkened as he related the final part of his tale. “My father hired an assassin, a wolf demon from the North to be precise, to kill his beloved wife should he fall in battle. However a mistake was made. During the battle father did fall, although he had merely lost consciousness. Mistaking my father’s still form for dead his advisor, a flea demon by the name of myoga, sent out the message to kill his mate.

“When my father awoke and heard the terrible news he himself recklessly drove into battle alone, never once intending to leave victorious. He could not live life without his beloved, nor could he return home to face his motherless son, knowing it was his fault he no longer had a mother to look after him. He died that day, but bravely took his enemy with him.”

“I’m sorry…”

“You shouldn’t be, she was not my mother.”


Their conversation lasted much of the night, only ending when Rin grew too tired to continue further. However each night Rin went to Sesshoumaru’s room and the two would converse about the upcoming battle, Kimiko, and on occasion Sesshoumaru’s half brother Inuyasha. Rin couldn’t help but notice Sesshoumaru’s tone changed whenever his younger brother was dragged into conversation. He appeared to loath the hanyou. His face would contort into a disgusted grimace. Did he really hate half-demons that much?


****

On the night before Sesshoumaru and his army left for battle Rin sat solemnly in his chambers. When he entered his room she turned praying he couldn’t smell her tears. No such luck. “Rin?” He said his voice laced with concern.


He turned her so they were facing each other and he peered deeply into her eyes, searching for what could not be found. “What is this? You have no need for these.” He said as he gently wiped a tear from her cheek. When she tried to turn her head he reached out and cupped her face with his hand and gazed into the depths of her shimmering chocolate eyes before repeating his question. “What is it?”


“I know I shouldn’t be, but I am.” She chocked between sobs

“Shouldn’t be what?”

“Scared…I don’t want to lose you.”

“You won’t lose me, I’ll come back, I promise.”


There was a moment of silence as he let the information at hand sink in. When she had calmed down enough he decided to tell her. He had meant to long before this, but now was as good a time as any. He closed his eyes as he breathed in her fragrant scent. She smelled of lilacs drifting on a summer breeze. “Rin, to answer your question…yes.”

“What question?”

“That night when you gave me a backrub you asked if I could ever take another mate if Kimiko fell in battle. The answer is yes, I could and would.”

Rin’s eyes positively light up. Did this mean what she thought it did? Did she still have a chance? Was it possible that Sesshoumaru loved her in return? Without a second thought she flung herself at him capturing the warlord in a joyous hug. For perhaps the first time in his life the mighty Sesshoumaru was caught off guard.


He would have gained his composure sooner if it hadn’t been for the delicious feel of the young woman pressed against him. When Rin noticed how intimate the embrace was she slowly let go, only to be push closer by Sesshoumaru’s strong arms across her lower back. This time when Sesshoumaru scented her arousal he wouldn’t just ignore it. So what if he had a mate. She hadn’t exactly been faithful over the past few weeks.


She gasped as she felt his member grow and stiffen into her stomach. He growled low in his throat at the exquisite sensation that erupted through him every time she moved. It was like liquid fire spreading through his veins fueled by the scent of her arousal that flooded him. In an instant the two were locked in a heated kiss. He was pleasantly surprised when his invading tongue found no resistance and was quick to plunder her soft mouth.


She shuddered as she felt his hand slip up her kimono, and could hardly hold back a moan when he traced his finger along her slit. His slow pace was driving her insane. Just when she thought she couldn’t stand it any more he raised his hand and began to rub her clit in a fast circular motion. It felt as though a sexily delicious coil was wound tight within her and as soon as he began to increase his pace she was washed over with the most wonderful sensation. A bright light exploded behind her eyes and she slumped into the demon behind her.


He couldn’t help himself; Sesshoumaru lifted one of his fingers to his mouth and licked her cum off it taking delight in its ambrosial taste. He felt as though he was being driven by some unseen force as he removed both their clothing and carried her over to the bed. He flipped her over onto her hands and knees and was deep within her before he stopped to consider the fact that she was a virgin.


Rin cried out in pain, and Sesshoumaru held his breath, praying the pain would soon subside. When the agony of the first thrust melted away she couldn’t help but marvel at the new sensation surrounding her…for the first time in her life, she was complete. When she began to grow uncomfortable with her position she moved her body slightly only to be overwhelmed by a powerful sensation starting near her lower half. She gave an experimental push backwards and moaned out to the heavens at this wondrous new activity.


Sesshoumaru heard her moan and interpreted it as a signal to begin. He slowly withdrew and plunged back into her, over and over, all the while keeping his excruciatingly slow pace. When Rin begged him to speed it up he complied, after all, who was he to deny her? Both reached their climax simultaneously, collapsing onto the bed where they slept till morning.

As Sesshoumaru led the march to battle his thoughts were consumed by Rin. He had wanted nothing more than to mark her as his own, but was unable to do so because of the witch to his right. Could it be possible that he loved this mortal woman? He hoped that Rin would be able to forgive him for doing such a thing without being able to take her completely by making her his mate. She had given him a gift, for the first time he climaxed not on his own. Something Kimiko could and would never give him. He would be sure of that.

Rin emerged from the bushes behind the castle wiping traces of vomit from her face. This had been going on for a few days now and Rin had no doubt as to why. She had ceased her monthly bleeding. This could only mean one thing…she was pregnant with Sesshoumaru’s first child. At first she was overjoyed at the news, she and Sesshoumaru were to have a child. The little family would live together in the palace and raise their child without fear of war.


It didn’t take long for her dream life to be crushed by the harsh truth known as reality. Sesshoumaru, her love, her life, had a mate. He had obligations, and unfortunately she was not one of them. Her mind flashed to their past conversations, the look of disgust that spread across his face at the mere mention of his brother…Inuyasha the half-demon. Would he feel the same towards their child? It too would be a half-demon…a disgrace to both humans and demons, doomed to live a life of sorrow.


She couldn’t bear it, seeing the man she loved looking towards her and their child repulsed. Such a life was not something she wished upon her child. It would be bad enough to be ostracized by villagers, but by their own father? That was too much for anyone to bear and certainly too much for an innocent child who wouldn’t know why daddy didn’t want to look him.


That night she gathered her clothes, blankets, and as much food as she could scrounge and slipped out of the castle, determined never to return. She panted as she splashed along the creek. From now on this would be her rout. She didn’t want to leave her scent…and the best way to avoid it would be to travel through the water. She raced all through the night fighting exhaustion, only stopping to rest as the first rays of golden light appeared over the horizon.

Sesshoumaru had been fighting under the same sun. The war was ongoing as wave after wave of stoat demons rushed the deadly flash of gold and silver, the brilliant warlord Sesshoumaru. Soon he found himself next to Kimiko rushing headlong into a mass of angry stoats bearing their fangs, trying to remain menacing in the face of death. The stench of their blood and fear covered the battle field. Yet as the two were running Sesshoumaru thought of something. He began to ever so slightly slow down.


Losing sight of her mate, Kimiko smirked. ‘It seems my oh so loving lord and mate can’t keep up!’ She let out a triumphant howl as she rushed the stoats unaware that she was alone. Sesshoumaru watched from a safe distance as she tried in vain to fight off the hundreds of demons that surrounded her.


“YOU!” She screamed her eyes flashing with rage at Sesshoumaru as she went under the mass of surging bodies. She screamed in pain as the flesh was ripped from her body.

“You should know better than to betray your mate. We dog demons mate for life, and it seems yours oh wife has ended. Farewell.” And with that he turned his back on his once mate and returned to his comrades.
