A New Beginning

NOW!!! BE WARNED!!! THE LONG AWAITED LEMON IS AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER!!!!!

Some of you may find Sess & Rin OOC at times, but remember, they're both older, and Naraku is dead. If Sessshomaru happens to act somewhat like Inuyasha, weeelll, he IS his half-brother, after all. So enjoy. There will be another short, very short chapter, but probably not until the next week-end or so.

Well enjoy. And REMEMBER!!! NO REVIEWS...MEANS NO EPILOGUE!!!


Sesshomaru litterally flew down the path that led him into the flowered garden. He took a deep breath, trying to find Rin's scent. It was there, faintly intermingled with the flowers, and his own scent from earlier that evening. He could also smell his scent from his haori. Then, her scent seemed to disappear.

'Damn! This was going to be even more complicated than he thought. Maybe Rin knew him even better than he'd thought she did.

He walked between the flowers and shrubs, his night vision finally 'kicking in', as Kagome had often said, but Rin was no where to be found. Her scent either for that matter.

'Where on earth could she be?' Sesshomaru asked himself. He didn't think that she'd gotten herself into trouble, for he would have smelled her fear right away.

No, she was in hiding. Somewhere, some place. No matter, he would eventually find her. He growled, anticipating the spanking that he felt like giving her for placing him in this state of mind.

'Then again, there are OTHER ways to make her cry out in submission.', He thought, grinning to himself, as visions of him thrusting into her vividly came to mind.

"YOU CAN HIDE, RIN...BUT, AS YOU KNOW, IT IS ONLY TEMPORARY! I WILL EVENTUALLY FIND YOU! THEN, WHAT WE'D STARTED, SHALL BE FINISHED IN OUR...YES I SAID...OUR...BEDROOM!!!"

Sesshomaru shouted out, confident that Rin had heard, and hoping that, with this outburst, she would make a sound of some sort. Something that would lead him straight to her. He was already anticipating throwing her onto his bed and rutting the living daylights out of her.

He growled. Inu-Youkai mating fever was starting to take over him.

NOW THE HUNT COULD TRULY BEGIN.

Little did Sesshomaru know, Rin was nowhere near her garden.

She'd decided, that the best defensive had to come from the best offensive. She'd always been a very good tree climber. So, after leaving a small trail for him to follow, she had hid her scent, knowing that his haori would take care of the rest, rubbing it all over her body for camouflage while hiding in the bushes.

Now, sitting in one of the higher branches that she knew would support her weight, from the very first gift that she'd ever gotten from him, her Sakura tree, Rin listened as he called out to her.

'OUR (?!) BEDROOM!' This surprised her.

She had learned, over the years, not only by living with Lord Sesshomaru, but with what Jaken had told her from his travels with 'HIS LORD' before they'd come upon her (leaving out all of the embellishments that Jaken was so fond of), that Inu-Youkai would usually mate for life. She had seen this happen between Kagome-Chan and Inuyasha-Sama, for that matter.

But, depending on their breeds, they were also VERY territorial, not always letting their females share the same sleeping chambers, and, for that matter, not letting their females raise their offspring, either (after weaning, and toilet-training, of course), taking that unruly task upon themselves seeing as they were the Alpha Males, not trusting the females to be capable enough to instill all of the disciplines that they felt were necessary.

So...exactly what was Sesshomaru proposing?

And, even if the hunt was on, she still had her say in the matter.

After all...Rin was the one that had started it, and Sesshomaru, well...he did know the rules...as did she!

For him to stake his claim on her, either he had to catch her, which would forfeit anything that she could ask from him, (that was something Rin had absolutely no intention of doing), or she simply let him take her, in his own den. Or, in this case, his very own bedroom. Now, THAT (!!) was exactly what she was hoping to be able to accomplish.

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

Sesshomaru continued to prowl the gardens, his impatience growing steadily.

"Where in the HELL could she be hiding?" He asked himself for the umpteenth time.

"DAMN IT!!! Her scent has me running around in circles! I must admit, she really is a clever bitch. I can imagine her already training our pups."

With that thought, the Great Tai-Youkai stopped dead in his tracks.

"(?)...What did I just say???" Sesshomaru had to pause in his musings.

"Pups?? Hanyou...pups??? Dear Kami...what has she done to me? As if I could EVER have pups that could resemble Inuyasha, that Baka." Sesshomaru groaned, an image of half a dozen miniature Inuyasha's running around him, calling him "Father" coming to mind. Shuddering, he banished it just as quickly as it had appeared.

But, deep inside of him, he knew that Rin would make a very good mother to his pups.

He'd never really thought about having offspring. Truly, it had never even occurred to him. It had been enough seeing to Rin's needs over these past few years, caring for her, and for Jaken, who had always stood by her, albeit his continual grumping and complaining each and every time that he would have to watch out for her, because he, LORD SESSHOMARU, had ordained it to be so.

Looking upwards, towards the beautiful starry sky, he could not help feeling that his Father, the Great Inu-No-Taisho himself, was staring back down upon him, goading him, telling him in no uncertain terms, that whether his mate-to-be was either human or not, that he should just follow his Youkai's instinctual choosing, and then let it be. Everything else would eventually fall into place by themselves.

Growling, Lord Sesshomaru sniffed the area closest to him. It was time to find his mate; find her, and claim her.

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

Rin swiftly climbed down from the tree, purposely leaving her scent so that he would find it. She quickly ran up the path that led to Sesshomaru's balcony. Three-quarter's of the way up, she stopped, and turning around, let out a long low whistle, then a second one, just to make sure that he would know which direction to take. Then she quickly resumed her way once again, making it to the doors in record time. Entering them, she whistled a third time, just before closing them, knowing that she didn't have much time to accomplish what she had in mind.

Sesshomaru stood stock still. That whistle, that was Rin. He'd taught her how to do that eons ago, when she'd still been a child. Cocking his head, trying to figure out which way it was coming from, he then heard the second, low shrill trill that he knew was hers, and hers alone.

"The court-yard. So...THAT was where you were hiding." He growled, leaping towards the Sakura tree that he knew she was so very fond of. As Sesshomaru got there, he could smell Rin everywhere. Especially on the tree.

"Clever little minx, finally leaving her trail for me to follow." He murmurred, as he took a deep breath, inhaling Rin's rich, heady, heated scent.

Then, it came to him. She must have been here the whole time, watching him, maybe even laughing at his antics because of the way she had succeeded in hiding herself from him. She had probably planned this all along.

In a way, he was very proud of her, because everything she knew had been taught by him. But for her to have used this knowledge against him, now that irked him.

"Rin, you little..."

There it was again. Her whistle. Low, with a very sweet resonance. Looking around, searching, he gazed up, just in time to see his balcony doors close.

"FINALLY! NOW I'VE GOT YOU!" He crowed as he leaped, coming face to face before the double doors that led to his private chambers.

He wondered if she'd locked them, buying her some more time, as he grasped the clasp, but, no, they opened easily.

Sesshomaru slowly walked into his living quarters, effectively closing both doors behind him, wondering if Rin had decided to face him off here. Looking around, he spied his haori draped upon the very chair that he had inadvertently tangled with earlier.

Taken somewhat aback by this wanton display, and yet knowing that it was a deliberate show of erotic submission, Sesshomaru sucked in his breath in anticipation, and headed towards his bedroom.

Rin had managed to leave his haori in full view upon the very chair that had started all of this, knowing that he wouldn't miss it as he passed the double doors, entering his living quarters.

She nervously shivered underneath the thin sheet that covered her nude body, knowing that it would only be a few minutes before Lord Sesshomaru found her lying on top of his king-sized bed. The one that had been a gift bestowed upon him from a very pleased Lord of The Northern Lands. She still remembered the debate that had gone on for several weeks, before terms had been found to everyone's satisfaction, both Youkai AND human. Sighing, Rin propped her head upon her right hand, letting the crook of her elbow dig into the bed, and fitted the sheet as provocatively about her as she could. Listening carefully, she heard Sesshomaru walk towards her.

As Sesshomaru opened his bedroom door, he wasn't quite prepared for the sight that met him. Quietly shutting the door behind him, he stared at the beauty laying atop his bed, hidden beneath his bedsheet.

Rin's hair splayed about her shoulders, framing her face. Her body, hugged in his sheet, could be seen outlined against it, each curve accentuated, highlighted against the soft shadows that the moon cast upon her from the open bedroom window.

Without saying a word, meeting her eyes with his, holding her gaze, he undid the ties of his hakama, letting it fall to the floor. As he stepped out of the pooling material between his feet, he heard Rin gasp. As he watched her reaction towards his nude, aroused body, he slowly made his way towards her, stopping mere inches from the bed, letting her see him in all of his naked glory.

"Rin." Sesshomaru whispered.

"I lay claim to what is rightfully mine. Even though the hunt was for our mere amusement only, you still belong to me." Sesshomaru softly said, hoping that she would respond as a true Inu-Youkai mate would; hoping that Kagome, being trained by Sango, had passed down the necessary information to Rin.


"I know the rules just as well as YOU do, My Lord. I shall not forfeit anything that is rightfully mine. You did not catch me. I sent for you, letting you know of my whereabouts. Was it not my whistles that led you to me? Have I not proven myself worthy of being your mate? Or for that matter, the mother of your children, if there are to be any forthcoming from our union? You could not even find me...(giggling)...and yet I left a trail for you to follow. No, Lord Sesshomaru. For once in your life, someone has outsmarted you, and that someone is me, your charge, your pupil from so many years past. Even if I am only a mere human, and female at that, rest assured that you taught me well. Maybe..a bit too well, at that."

Although Rin bowed her head, she couldn't stop the fit of giggles that overtook her. Seeing Sesshomaru's face, knowing that she'd answered him exactly the way he'd hoped for, knowing that, for once, her Mr High & Mighty Lord had been bested, and it was all because of what she'd learned over these past few years, and what Kagome had told her, made everything completely worth it. And even though she was very nervous, knowing that they would be mating very shortly, she still looked forward to it.

"Rin, look at me." He said, waiting to continue what he had to say until her eyes met his.

"Who am I?"

"You are Lord Sesshomaru, Great Tai-Youkai, Ruler of The Western Lands." She answered, a bit surprised with the question.

"And that means, that even if I'd caught you, you wouldn't have had to forfeit anything. By claiming you for my own, you would have automatically become Lady of The Western Lands, and all offspring that we may have is just that. OURS! YOURS AND MINE! What I have is now yours, also. Do you understand me, Rin?"

Rin sat up, the sheet falling to her waist, unnoticed by her, but not going unnoticed by him, his eyes darkening with desire as he watched her breasts rise and fall with each breath that she took.

"Do you mean to say that I made that speech all for nothing?" She burst out, her eyes glowing angrily.

"No, not for nothing." He whispered as he slowly climbed onto the bed. Then sitting on his knees, he reached out for her, bending down and tilting her head up towards him so that her lips could meet his, his other hand reaching out to caress her breasts, one at a time.

Moaning against his mouth, Rin tried to get into a more comfortable position, but only managed to slip, breaking off their lips' contact, as she fell backwards onto the bed.

"Rin!" Sesshomaru growled while she laughed at his shocked expression.

He grabbed the sheet and litterally threw it away from the bed, exposing her body completely. Sliding up alongside of her, he started to kiss her again. Her lips, then her eylids, her cheeks, and finally making his way down to her breasts. He took one nipple into his mouth, suckling on it like a babe, while he pinched the other between his thumb and forefinger making her arch and moan.

He rolled himself on top of her, letting her adjust to his weight, then pressed his hard arousal against her. Lifting his head, he looked into her lust-filled eyes, her face flushed from his ministrations.

"Rin, let yourself go. Let yourself be pleasured." With this having been said, Sesshomaru pushed himself downwards, his face coming into contact with her nether lips. Slowly, he parted them, inhaling the intoxicating scent that greeted him. As he felt her tense, he bent down and licked, finally getting the taste that had been on his mind for so long now. Tenderly, teasingly slow, taking his time, Sesshomaru started to suck on that hard little nub protruding just above her virginal channel, making Rin cry out and buck her hips against his mouth.

Rin couldn't believe what her lover was doing to her. Sesshomaru had to hold her hips down while sucking on her most intimate place. She'd tensed up at first, not really knowing what he'd planned on doing, but, oh the feelings that were washing over her. She felt him enter a finger inside of her, slowly teasing her, pushing it in, turning it around inside, then pulling almost completely out, only to repeat the process all over again. Then he added a second digit, and finally a third. She whimpered his name over and over, chanting it like a mantra, thrashing her head from one side of the pillow to the other as he thrust them in and out of her, lubricating her channel, getting her ready to receive him.

She started feeling something pull deeply inside of her, growing, coiling in her belly, until it exploded, making her fist her fingers into his bedsheet scream out his name.

"SESSSHOOMMAAAARRUUU!!!"

As Rin slowly came back to her senses, she felt him pull his fingers out of her, and daring to look, saw him watching her with a very satisfied look upon his face licking his fingers clean from her juices. With a lustful gleam in his eyes, he climbed back on top of her and started to nuzzle her neck, positionning his erection against her hot, now very wet channel.

"It is time for me to claim what's rightfully mine, Rin. I have heard that a woman's first time can be very painful. I shall try to take my time, so as not to hurt you too much." Sesshomaru whispered against her ear as he started to enter her very slowly.

Rin could not help tensing as this foriegn object entered her secret passageway. Every few seconds, her lover would stop, all the while licking and sucking on her neck and earlobe and playing with left breast, giving her time to adjust to his large, erect penis. Finally, the tip touched her maidenhood, pulsing against it.

"Rin...are you ready?" Sesshomaru breathed into her ear. Feeling her nod as she gripped his shoulders, he slightly pulled out and thrust back in, breaking the tiny barrier, completely engulfing his erect cock, so that his silver pubic hair mingled against her own jet-black.

"AAGGHH!!" Rin cried out in pain, then bit his shoulder, hard, to keep from crying out again. She was grateful that he'd stopped moving, waiting until she gave him a sign that everything was alright. Her body was wracked in pain, and she couldn't control the sob that left her lips.

"Sshhh. Take your time, it's alright. I'll wait. I can wait until you are ready. Even if that means stopping tonight and resuming sometime in the near future. I didn't know that it could be so painful, Rin, I'm sorry." Sesshomaru said, shifting his position so that he was able to look at her.

"No, it's already subsiding. Just give my body time to adjust. You ARE very well-endowed, you know. I should have expected something like this." She whispered, looking up at him through her tears.

"Rin..." But he got no further, for she grabbed his long, silver mane of hair and pulled his head down, catching his lips with her own in a searing kiss, forcing her tongue into his mouth, showing him that she was ready to be made love to. He had no choice but to comply.

Breaking away from her, Sesshomaru got up onto his forearms and started to move, slowly thrusting, rocking back and forth until they were both moaning and groaning. His body then started moving of it's own volition, pumping harder and harder, grinding itself deeply within her, making Rin cry out in ecstasy as he rubbed against that sweet spot that he had finally found over and over again.

There it was, that coiling feeling that she'd had earlier, only this time, it was much stronger. Rin thought the her blood in her veins had turned into liquid fire, so intense was their lovemaking. Suddenly, without warning, she saw stars behind her closed eyelids, and gripping Sesshomaru by his wrists, her body arching, Rin screamed his name into the night as she climaxed, soaking his deeply embedded shaft.

Sesshomaru stopped moving, his body heaving. He waited until she was coherent enough to understand what he was about to do. As she opened her eyes to look at him, he bent down, giving a quick kiss. Then, pulling himself out of her and settling himself onto his knees, he flipped Rin onto her stomach. Grabbing her by her hips, he pulled her up onto her own hands and knees, in the Inu-Mating position.

"Now, it's MY turn." He growled as he re-entered her, this time from behind, making Rin gasp, as he started thrusting hard and fast. He was close to his own release, but had deliberately held himself back, having Rin find hers had been more important to him, seeing as the pain that she'd encountered had nearly made him stop everything.

As he pounded into her, he realised that Rin was giving just as good as she was getting.
Her body rocked backwards everytime he thrust forwards, keeping time with his body, with his testicles, full and heavy with seed, slapping against the skin of her inner-thighs.

This time, there would be no holding back. He wanted them to climax together.

Sesshomaru reached down between their bodies, finding and rubbing her hard nub, stimulating her into another orgasm. As Rin once again screamed his name for all the world to hear, her arms collapsing, her rear sticking up even higher, he grabbed on to her hips, pulling them against his body, filling her up to the root of his engorged cock.

Then he released, roaring her name into the stillness of the night, filling her womb with his life-giving seed. As his cock pulsated, knotting deep within her, preventing her to pull away even if she had wanted to, he bent over her back, the lenght of his body covering hers, and bit her shoulder, marking Rin as his mate for all the world to see.

Slowly, Sesshomaru lay onto his side, pulling Rin with him, holding her tightly against his body until he grew flask and slipped out of her. Rin sighed and snuggled her back tightly up to him. Her scent was already changing. He placed his clawed hand against her belly, knowing that his seed was taking hold, planting itself deeply within her womb. She HAD been in heat, after all. That's how all of this had started. He thought back to when he had come to bed, alone, several hours ago, and sighed. Well, what was done, could not be un-done. For that matter, he was glad. He didn't really want it any other way, either.

'By tomorrow, she will be an expectant mother, and not even know it. Yet.' He thought to himself.

"Rin, I know that you are tired, as am I, but this is important."

"Mmmm?? What is it, Sesshy?"

'Sesshy??? Only when we are alone I hope.' He groaned to himself.

"Rin, we must talk. Wake up."

Rin turned around, her face brushing against his chest, her tongue licking a trail over one of his lavender markings, making him moan.

"Stop it, you little Minx! Tomorrow shall be a brand new day for us. A new beginning. We'll have to plan our wedding. I won't wait for more than a two or three days. By In-Youkai standards, we are ALREADY wed, but I know that there is a special celebration that must be done by human standards. You will most likely want Kagome and Sango here with you, which means that the best choice for a priest would be Miroku. And that means having Inuyasha by my side, as well, unfortunately, but that cannot be helped. So, are you in agreement with this? Shall I make all of the necessary arrangements for their voyage? Or would you prefer something quieter, with no celebration?" Sesshomaru stated, already knowing the answer, beforehand.

Rin squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him for all that he was worth.

"Do you really mean it? You truly want me for your wife, not just a concubine, by our human ways?" She could hardly believe that he had just proposed to her.

"I would not have said as such if it were not so. I wish to make an honorable woman out of you." Sesshomaru chuckled.

"Go to sleep, beloved. You shall need all of the rest that you can get. These next few days shall be trying for the both of us. If not physically, then emotionally, and I, for one KNOW that my patience shall be severely tested." He murmurred, as Rin snuggled against his naked body once more, sighing.

Sesshomaru rested his chin on top of her head, letting her even breathing lull him into sleep. A new beginning, yes, how very fitting for what had happened tonight. Placing his hand onto her belly once more, he fell into a blissfull sleep, one that he had not had in centuries.
