“Mine,” he growled then swooped down and sank his fangsinto the nape of her neck. The taste of her blood was nectar running over his tongue. He drank deeply then licked the wound sealing the blood flow. The taste was not enough; he must have all of her.

“L-lord Sesshomaru?”

He shot up and stared into the eyes of the innocent girl who trusted him so completely. Sesshomaru fought within himself and pushed back his demon blood. His eyes became golden again and he casually sat upright against his fur like nothing had transpired. Inside his heart was beating wildly and his jaw was tight with suppressed rage.

Rin slowly sat up and looked around confused. She remembered stumbling back into camp seeing Lord Sesshomaru’s fur and falling into. I must have fallen asleep on his fur! No wonder he was angry with her. She sat on her knees and brought her hands together in a plea.

“I’m so sorry I fell asleep on your fur, my Lord! Forgive me!”

Sesshomaru glanced at the girl. She thought he was mad over such a simple thing. She does not understand what has happened. His gaze fell to the mark on her neck which was now healed and only a small scar remained. He took a breath and Rin’s scent was now mingled with his, he had marked her. There was no taking it back. He glanced away staring into the early morning light.

“Please don’t send me away, Lord Sesshomaru!”

As if I could now, he bitterly mused.

“Don’t be foolish, Rin.”

He stood up draping his fur back over his shoulder. He sniffed the air and located the scent of fresh water in the woods. Casually he strode towards the scent. After he was ten yards away he paused.

“Come with me, Rin.”

Rin leapt up and ran after him as he continued walking deeper into the woods. Her scent was still very strong and punished his senses. Every whiff was a struggle against his suppressed nature. His mind was buzzing with questions that had no answers. He had been near her numerous times when her cycle hit and he had never lost control as he did this night. Could it have been the poison mixed in her blood? His teeth clenched tighter as he rationalized that his questions were moot. The mark once given cannot be removed. In one moment, he had become everything he loathed. He was as weak as his father.

Sesshomaru noticed how Rin kept trying to sneak glances at him, sensing his obvious displeasure. Despite her age she was still an innocent, unfamiliar with her woman’s body and ignorant of the ways of male demons. Already the urge to complete his claim of her was coursing through his veins, but she had no idea as to what had transpired. The woman-child was still worried that he was angry over his fur. Even when his demon self was on the verge of devouring her innocence she still held no fear of him. She knew what he did not, that he would never harm her. Pitiful, he thought to himself. If only she knew the truth.

When they reached the clearing Sesshomaru stopped so suddenly that Rin ran into him.

“Forgive me, Lord-”

“Silence, Rin.” He sniffed the air and convinced that the area was free from imminent danger he stood to the side and looked down at the woman, human woman who was now his. Her head barely came up to his shoulders and when she looked up at him, she smiled with the same brilliance as the previous day. Her spirit was still unfaltering. I will not tell her, he stated firmly in his mind. If her innocence is to be lost it will not be by my hands. His demon blood howled inside him in frustration, but to Rin it looked like her Lord had fallen asleep with his eyes open staring at her.

“Lord Sesshomaru?”

He blinked and turned away from her.

“You will bathe here.”

Rin glanced at him in confusion. Sesshomaru walked up to a large tree and jumped into the branches, lounging on a limb he looked out into the forest seeming to ignore her presence.

“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru.”

Rin unceremoniously started removing her simple kimono, but stopped short when she saw a spot on the fabric. She brought it close to her face, in a panic she glanced at her thighs. When she realized it was blood she gasped in embarrassment shed her clothes and jumped in the water. She sunk into the water almost up to her nose her cheeks blushed red.

Her scent was momentarily concealed in the water and Lord of the Western Lands allowed his insides to relax. It was not his intention to embarrass her as he known he had when he heard her gasp. Unlike his brother, Sesshomaru knew his limits (as he despised his limits) and therefore sought out the only way to temporarily evade her intoxicating aroma and tame the demon now clawing to be released. He did not know why he glanced at her from above as she silently tried to scrub her body raw with a water stone. His eyes zoned in to the way each drop of water slid down her pale flesh. He could hear the scraping of the stone against her skin, her fast heartbeat as she desperately tried to cleanse herself. She always felt shame during her cycle.

“Rin, why are you hiding from me?”

The little girl who was now twelve glanced away her cheeks reddening.

“I-I’m-”

He sniffed and knew immediately.

“You have started your cycle again.”

She brought her knees to her chest and hid her face in her kimono.

“I make you angry at these times, because I smell bad. I swear I wash twice a day when it‘s here, I scrubbed really hard. See?” Rin pulled back the sleeves of her kimono showing the scratches from the stones.

Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed slightly at seeing her self inflicted wounds and hearing her foolish words. She knows nothing of the way of it, he idly thought.

“Do not harm yourself again, Rin.”

She stared at him in shock and silently nodded.

They were few things that Rin disobeyed blatantly. Scouring herself was one of them. She does not heed my words for fear that the alternative will anger me more. Sesshomaru watched as the stone fell from her finger tips and splashed back into the water sinking to the bottom. He followed her tapered fingers along her slim arms to the creamy expanse of her chest. He did not even notice the low growl coming out of him or the shocked expression of the woman who could not understand why her Lord was looking at her like a meal. She shook herself of his gaze and ducked back into the water.

“Have I displeased you, Lord Sesshomaru?” she asked quietly.

He stared at her blankly then looked away.

“You still do not do as I commanded?”

She blushed deeply.

“I don’t want to be an offense to you, my Lord. Please forgive me for disobeying.”

He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and heard her quiet intake of breath. You mar what is mine, he growled inside. “Do as you like, Rin.” he stated blandly looking away.

“Lord Sesshomaru?”

“What is it, Rin?”

“Why were you staring-” She paused uncertain, “Never mind.”

He jumped out of the tree landing deftly on the ground. Casually he walked to the edge of the spring and looked down on Rin. Her eyes widened with every step as his shadow loomed over her. He could feel his body throbbing, the clear water did nothing to conceal her body from him. A body he had seen many times, yet it never quite held the allure as it did now. His jaw clenched even tighter as he fought for control.

“What do you know about demons, Rin?”

“Huh?” She paused and chewed on her lower lip thinking of an answer. “They do not sleep much, some are very ugly, others…” His eyes slightly widened, “can be pretty,” Sesshomaru’s eyebrow lowered, “They’re really finicky, many don’t eat human food though some eat humans. They don’t talk very much but can say a great deal in a few words. They don’t like humans generally but some protect humans. They usually have animal or insect traits which heightens there senses. Most demons mate for life and-”

“And?”

“They think women stink when they are in heat.”

Sesshomaru turned and started walking away. “Get out, Rin, and get dressed.”

She knows nothing. I have been lax in her education not that humans can attain much, he thought.

He heard Rin scrambling to catch up with him. They walked in silence to the campsite and Rin spent most of the time staring at the ground. Sesshomaru could sense her unease and though it was not her fault he found some satisfaction in her nervousness.

“Gather what you need from the camp, we leave soon.”

Rin looked up at her master in question, “What about Master Jaken?”

Sesshomaru did not spare a glance at her.

“He will find us.”

Rin ran ahead to the camp gathering what little belongings she had and in a few moments proclaimed herself ready only to look around and find Sesshomaru already walking towards the west. She quickly mounted Ah Un and followed after her Lord.
