The Captive Bride
Chapter Twelve – Aftereffects of My Heart
Sesshomaru rolled over,
stretching lightly as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Sunlight streamed in
through the terrace doors, covering the room in a bright radiance. Blinking his
eyes, he scanned the room out of habit. He noticed his shirt and pants on the
floor along with what remained of Rin’s nightgown. Smiling in remembrance, his eyes turned to
his left and found the form of his new mate.
Rin lay on her stomach,
her face pointed toward him. A small smile wavered on her lips, a content look
to her whole face. His eyes instantly found her new marking, two white circles at
the bottom of her neck clearly evident upon her creamy skin. A toothy grin
spread across his face as his gaze glazed over the exposed skin of her back.
The bed sheets were at her waist, but he already knew what lay below. He
remembered later that night, he had suddenly woken bolt upright with his mind
reeling from what most would call a nightmare, though Sesshomaru would never
admit to it. After realizing where he was, it confused Sesshomaru that he was
actually relieved to find Rin still beside him, her warm body nestled against
his. But then he recalled why he had
married her, why she had actually agreed, and the smile on his face shrank
away.
Snorting with renewed
irritation, Sesshomaru pushed off the bed and stalked into the bathroom. Even
if he was just married, there was still work to do, even more now that he was
officially Lord now. He opted to take a walloping cold shower, knowing that his
body had other ideas every time he recollected events from last night. Why did
he let himself be attracted to this human woman? She was a thief and a liar, no
doubt about it. She wasn’t trust worthy and try as she
may, there was no excuse for what she did. The only reason he even took her
into his bed was for the good of the lands, basically for his sake to be Lord.
She was a temptress no matter how she disagreed with him. She seemed so
innocent and defenseless on the surface, but she hid something inside, hiding
just below her facade.
Sighing heavily, he
turned off the cold water and stepped out of the shower. It wasn’t that what had happened last night
was nothing, she invigorated his body just at the
thought of her yearning body. But once he had seen her in that nightgown,
silhouetted by the light from the fireplace, it wasn’t his mind that had
advanced, it was his lust. That little voice that had been nit-picking at the
back of his mind was the main reason for his actions over the past few days,
wheedling away at his own emotions. Was she trustworthy? Was she worth all this
effort?
Tucking his light blue shirt
into his black trouser pants, Sesshomaru walked over to the dresser mirror to
knot his tie. From the reflection in the mirror, he noticed Rin start to stir
on the bed. He froze, watching her form slowly sit up. She quickly covered
herself once she realized how exposed she was and began to scan the room, much
like he did when he awoke. Once she saw him, he busied himself back to knotting
the tie.
“Morning.”
Rin said with a blush.
Sesshomaru turned his
head to look at her over his shoulder. He nodded his head slightly. “Morning.” He replied as he finished his tie, cinching it up
tight.
He walked over to his
side of the bed and sat down, shaking the whole bed. Rin stayed where she was,
pulling the covers closer around her. Sesshomaru stared ahead, unknowing what
to say to her at this moment.
“You’re going to work
today?” Rin questioned.
He didn’t answer, just
nodded his head in agreement. Bending down, he started to pull on his shoes.
“Before you go…do you
need anything? I can make some breakfast for you.”
“I have servants who
cook for me.” Sesshomaru quickly snapped. He saw her small form shirk at his
hardened words and instantly regretted saying that.
“Sorry. I just thought I could help.”
“I don’t need any help from you. You make
enough trouble as it is already.”
Rin’s mouth hung open in shock, her face
paling by the second. “You really think that of me? Am I really that much
trouble for you?”
“I don’t think, I know you are! For the past few days, you have put me into
more turmoil than I have ever had to deal with!” Sesshomaru stood rigidly from
his seat and began to walk toward the bedroom door. His hand paused as he
gripped the door handle. “You are my mate. You share my bed and my name,
nothing more. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have work to
do.”
Quickly escaping the room, Sesshomaru was not
able to see the wounded look on Rin’s face. Nor know how much pain that he had
put her in with those words.
Rin stared at the door even after it closed,
replaying his cruel words over and over again. She made trouble for him? She
never asked him to do this for her, she never asked to be his wife. He was the
one who asked her to marry him, become his ‘mate.’ He brought that so called trouble on himself. How could he think that of her, after everything,
after last night?
Yes, last night, Rin reflected, now that had
been a different experience. Oh, how he had excited her. She never dreamed that
making love could be so….so passionate. Her first impression of sex, it had not
been a moment of making love, but something of a disappointment. Eighteen and
fresh out of high school, Rin’s first job was at an accounting firm and there she
met him, Hojo. He had been sweet and caring, buying her flowers every other
day. It wasn’t much to her surprise when he asked her out on a date. That
night….they went back to this apartment and one thing led to another. He had
been rough and it was over within a matter of minutes, setting a basis that Rin
would live on through the years. She began to believe that having sex, that
kind of sex was what happened to everyone. It wasn’t a fun or enjoyable moment,
Rin thought, it had to happen to everyone, right?
That’s also why she fought so hard against
Sesshomaru’s advances. She was scared that Sesshomaru would be the same as her
first time and she didn’t want to know that, for she actually had started to
care for him. But then Sesshomaru had surprised her, opening new doors to her
mind that she had never even thought about. Time and time again, he had taken
her over the edge leaving her body and mind reeling while begging for more. It
was more than a dream, it was a fantasy that she
thought never could come true. But it was true, for Sesshomaru was the real
thing.
And then there was the part when he had
actually bit her. She’d heard of masochism, but what he did,
now that was on a different level. She rubbed the spot on her shoulder where he
had bit her, but was surprised when she didn’t feel any evidence of the wound.
Climbing out of bed and wrapping the covers around her, Rin scurried over to
the dresser mirror. Her eyes widened in shock while her fingers grazed the spot
where now two white circles lay. This is what he meant by marking?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rin closed the door behind her as he shook
the rain off of her jacket. It was pouring outside, soaking everything that
stepped out into it. She had been visiting her mother, taking her out for a
walk in the local park, like she had done everyday since her marriage to
Sesshomaru only a week and a half ago. But her time had been cut short by the
graying clouds and rumbling skies. Her mother, though saddened that she had
been unable to see the marriage, was delighted for Rin. It was so wonderful for
her to have found someone to love and exuberantly told every orderly and nurse
at the home. This caused Rin to blush every time she did it, wishing that she
wouldn’t make it such a big deal.
Though Rin wished that the words her mother
spouted were true. If she really had married him because of love, but that wasn’t
going to ever be true. Sesshomaru was too cold, too angry at her to even try to
have feelings for her. Even after the two times that week when Sesshomaru had
kissed her awake, arousing her desires once more to the height of passion, she
knew it couldn’t be true. He never even talked to her during the day. Dinner
was eaten in silence if he even arrived or else it was just her and Inuyasha.
But now she stalked up the three flights of
stairs, cursing aloud at the idiot who decided to put in so many stairs.
Arriving in the master bedroom, Rin shed her wet clothes for a dry burgundy sweat
suit and put her hair up into a low ponytail. Again she started her descent
down the flight of stairs, knowing that she would never get used to them. She
was hoping to snag a warm cup of coffee when halfway down the stairs, she saw the soaking figure of Inuyasha making his
way up. He looked just like a wet dog, even his ears were drooping with the
weight of the rain.
“Inuyasha? Is everything alright?” She said, pausing on
the second floor landing.
His body quirked at the sound of his name,
but did not bother to look up at Rin. The way that he carried himself was
unnerving to Rin and she knew something was wrong. He made it to the second
floor landing and started to walk around Rin, who was still waiting for an
answer. Immediately she reached out her left hand and grabbed his arm.
“Inuyasha! What’s wrong?!” She demanded of him,
tightening her grip on him.
“What’s it to you!” Inuyasha sneered,
averting his eyes from looking directly at Rin.
“I want to know what’s going on! Why are you soaking wet?!”
Inuyasha tried to roll off her grip, but she
remained firm, a new found strength kindled in her anger. She brought her right hand up to his face,
much like a mother would do. She felt his cheeks were wet and figured it to be
the rain. Slowly she turned his face toward her own searching gaze. What she
saw shocked her, for the wetness that she had felt was not the rain, it had
been Inuyasha’s own tears. His eyes were red and swollen, a sure sign of
crying, but the truth of it laid in his eyes. They were just like his brothers
deep glowing amber, but now Inuyasha’s eyes had a sadness lying inside, a
turmoil that Rin knew was hurting him badly.
“Inuyasha, tell me. What happened?” She said
softly, rubbing her hand along his cheek.
His face became distressed, eyes watering
once more with renewed tears. It wasn’t more than after a few seconds of seeing
his saddened face that he suddenly crashed his body against her, pulling her
into a vice-like hug while crying into her shoulder. Rin could only wrap her
arms around him in response, all the while wondering what had happened.

Rin sat in the master bedroom, her foot tapping
incessantly on the wood plank floor. Her face was tight with irritation, her
mouth a thin line of anger. Sitting in the chair next to the fireplace, her
view was in direct line with the front doors. She’d be able to see the moment,
the instant that Sesshomaru walked through.
It
wasn’t until the hall clock chimed eleven that Sesshomaru entered his home, the
cold wind of the dark night blowing in behind him. He slowly peeled off his
long black trench coat, savoring the feeling of being home finally. He slowly
made his way up the stairs, his mind playing tricks on him with visions of Rin
in her thin nightgowns. He really needed to stop doing that, later. But upon
opening the door to their bedroom, Sesshomaru realized, those visions were not
going to happen anytime soon. Stuffing hands into his pant pockets, he
leisurely walked toward the glaring figure.
“Something on your mind?” He joked mildly, seeing Rin quickly stand
from her seat and approach him, her shoes tapping loudly on the floor.
“You’ve got a lot of nerve Sesshomaru
Sadamoto!” She yelled at him, stopping only a few feet from his form, “I can’t
believe you could act so cruel to your own family.”
“What are you talking about, woman?” He said,
sidestepping Rin to head toward his closet.
Rin turned to watch him disappear between the
closet doors. “You know exactly what I’m talking about! Today your own brother
came to you and asked if he could marry a girl. And what do you do? You turn
him down flat without a word of consideration on his part! I can’t believe that
you could be such an egotistical moron!”
His deep voice emanated from the doors. “So
the little hanyo came running home, did he? I thought as likely. Just like a
weak human.”
She approached the closet, her anger kindled
even more. “Weak human! Is that all you think he is! How irresponsible can you
be, he’s your brother!”
“Half-brother!” Sesshomaru roared back as he walked out of
the closet, “And this is none of your concern, so don’t interfere anymore in
our affair.” He had changed his clothes quickly, for he wore a white sleepwear
ensemble with the nightshirt hanging open on his shoulders, accenting his abs.
Rin took a step back, letting him pass.
Watching him walk to the fireplace, Rin
curled her hands into fists, giving her courage to continue. “You know as damn
well as I do that the second that boy walked into this house, it became my
concern! The moment I became your wife…your mate, I was part of this family! So
everything that happens between you two, deals with me as well!”
“You think that I really care what you think
of me?” Settling into a chair, Sesshomaru glowered back at Rin. “The little
thief thinks that she can tell me stories on ethic? You have no right to tell
me how to deal with my family, especially Inuyasha! My decision is final!”
“You call me a thief and ridicule me about
ethic? You’ve got a lot of guts, Sesshomaru Sadamoto. I don’t care if you are a
demon or not, what you did to your own brother was the worst!”
Sesshomaru leaned forward in his chair,
slamming a fist onto the chair arm. “What I did is policy for every demon
wishing to marry outside of our own species! I am the Demon Lord, I choose
whether they can marry or not, it’s my decision! It doesn’t matter what you
say, I never change my mind on any circumstances! And no hanyo, even my own
half-brother, is going to change that!”
Rin guffawed at his answer and paced across
the room. “All of this because he’s a hanyo? You hate
him because of that! I can’t believe you! Its because
he’s your half-brother that you should show the decency to help him.”
Sesshomaru snorted. “Decency?
What decency! I knew all along that girl was visiting Inuyasha every moment
that I wasn’t home. I’m not blind! Traipsing around my own home, trying to keep
their little love affair hidden from me, I knew every step they took! But the
fact that he even requested to marry that girl…doing that was the last straw.
Even a hanyo has no business with the like of her kind!”
“Her kind! What? The fact that she’s
just a lowly human?”
“No, the fact that she’s a miko! You do know what a miko does, right?”
Sesshomaru growled through his teeth. “They destroy demons! It’s their job! I
don’t want a miko, much less that woman to be part of our demon heritage! What
kind of Lord would I look like if I let a miko in my house?”
“I don’t know how you would look, especially
after you let a human woman into your house.” Rin said, crossing her arms
across her chest, her eyes narrowing in anger.
“Do not tread on paths
that you do not know, woman.” Sesshomaru gritted through his pearly white teeth
as he stood up from his seat. Slowly he walked toward Rin, his eyes locked with
hers in a dead-fast staring contest. “You just might get caught in a place that
you can’t get out of.”
“I’ll take my chances!”
Rin declared loudly and promptly turned on a heel, heading straight for the bed
room door. She grabbed the robe from the foot of the bed as she passed and
wrapped it around her arm.
“Where do you think
you’re going?” He called out to her mockingly as she reached out a hand to the
door knob.
“Anywhere
away from you!” Rin yelled back. She swung open the door forcefully and
slammed it behind her, leaving the Demon Lord alone in his room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“That
jerk! That insolent bastard! He’s so full of himself that he can’t see
how shallow he really is!” Rin yelled out into the empty 2nd floor
bedroom as she plopped down onto the bed. It was colder in there because the
fire hadn’t been lit yet, so her skin shivered, spreading goose bumps all over
her body.
“He just…. He’s just so
heartless!” Rin cried, hiding her face in the fabric of her robe, “I thought
that he would have some feelings, demon or not! But all he seems to care about
is his power and nothing else. I hate him! I hate him so much!”
Suddenly Rin dropped her robe and bolted for
the bathroom door. She felt all of a sudden very sick to her stomach.

Hello again!
Thank you for reading another chapter of my story! I greatly appreciate
your readership!
I know that this chapter was a bit smaller than most, but don’t worry.
The next will be full of pages to read. Only a few chapters left to go! I can’t
believe it!
I especially loved writing the next morning part. Everything is so tense!
And they had their first major fight, like a real couple! Though the topic was
a bit unusual, but everything will work out sooner or later, right? Yet
Sesshomaru fights so much with his own emotions, thinking that he can not feel
for the woman Rin. Oh is he in for a big surprise!
Thanks again!
