The Captive Bride

Chapter Thirteen � What Will I Do Without You?

A
week had passed since their fight, yet Rin stayed where she had fled. That
bedroom felt like the safest place she could run to now, as the house itself
was overbearing enough as it was. Every day and night was the same. She would
wake up, always later after Sesshomaru had left and then would make her way on
a short bus ride to the home where her mother stayed. After a long visit, Rin
would return home and run immediately back into her fortress on the second
floor. She didn�t bother to even show up for supper, yet made arrangements for
food to be sent up to her separately.
And every night, Inuyasha was the one to bring her the tray of food. He
had become more open to her since that rainy day he had told her about
Sesshomaru�s decision and was more willing to talk. Rin knew that he was lonely
and hurting, so she did her best to keep a smile on his face. Although every time that door opened, she
wished that Sesshomaru would be there instead of Inuyasha.

�Why
aren�t you at home with your husband? Surely you have better things to do with
him?� Rin�s mother asked in her slow
manner, her mouth in the small smile that she could manage.
Rin
turned quickly to stare at her mother in shock, mouth agape. �Mother!�
The pair had been having a small dinner in the park located next to the home.
It was a beautiful day out and Rin had finally begun to relax once more. Now
her mother had to bring it up? �How can you ask a thing like that?�
�I
only ask because I care about you, my dear. I fear that there is something
wrong with your marriage.� Her mother responded with a frown.
A
blush filled Rin�s cheeks and she played with the napkin in her hand. �Th�there�s nothing wrong with my marriage, mom. Sesshomaru
is just very�busy. He has a company to take care of.�
�He
also has a wife to take care of.� Her mother said with a wary look on her face.
�Yet he doesn�t seem to take much time for her.�
�Look,
mother,� Rin took one of her mother�s hands and patted it softly, �Everything
is fine. Sesshomaru and I spend plenty of time together. It�s just that he
works late and it�s hard for him to get away. We couldn�t be happier.�
�Really?� Questioned her mother in an uneasy tone.
�Really. We�re doing fine. Now,� Rin slapped her hands on
her lap and quickly stood up. �I think we had better get you back to your room.
You�ve got an appointment with Dr. Charles.�
Rin
with a smile to her mother, she scuttled to clean up the aftermath of their
dinner. Grabbing her bag, Rin gripped the back of her mother�s wheelchair and
pushed her toward the tall brown building.

�SHIT!�
Rin groaned out as she watched the city bus speed down the road. Another minute
earlier and she would have made it! �Great, just great!�
Now
how was she going to get home? Looking around her, Rin shouldered her purse
closer to her and started walking down the street in the direction the bus took
off, her shoes setting a strong pace on the sidewalk. Maybe it wasn�t that far
to the house by foot.
Rin
had walked four blocks and had begun to think that maybe waiting the half hour
for the next bus would have been the better choice. Especially since her feet
were killing her. Never again would she wear heels while visiting her mother.
Sitting down on a nearby bench, she removed a shoe to rub at a throbbing heel.
�Rin?� Spoke a voice through the cluttered city noise. �Is
that you?�
Looking
up, Rin couldn�t believe who she was seeing right beside her.
�Kohaku?
What�re you doing here?�
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
�You know, I never
expected to see you again, Rin. You quit the company so suddenly,
I thought that you had left town or something.�
Rin stopped
playing with her coffee spoon, her fingers showing the nervousness flowing
through her body. �Yeah, let�s just say that there was a lot going on at the
time. I still don�t believe that it�s been over three weeks since I was still
working over there.� She paused, taking a sip from her coffee cup and
delicately placed it back down. �How is Mr. Hashi doing?�
�The
old man?� Kohaku scoffed and brushed a hand through his brown hair. �Ah,
he�s fine. Cozy as a kitten in his little dungeon, whittling away at those
swords he loves so much. Don�t understand what he sees in that stuff.�
She nodded
understandably and sighed lightly, letting her gaze drift away from their
table. The little caf� that Kohaku had directed her to was quaint and nearly
hidden among the rest of the monotony of street vendors. A couple walked past
the open doors of the caf� and Rin noticed right away at how they held hands
with fingers interlocked. Both looked so happy, a beaming smile on both their
faces, a sure sign of love. If that were ever true for her.
�Rin?�
�Hmm?�
She turned her gaze back toward the man across from her. Kohaku was leaning
back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other. He was wearing a red dress
shirt with black trousers, making his boyish looks stand out even more. Though
now his freckled face was marred with confusion.
�Rin,
you alright? You seem kind of� distant.�
She shook her head
in reassurance. �No, it�s nothing�really. I just haven�t been feeling very well
for the past few mornings. I don�t think that everything hasn�t been the best of
luck for me, to say the least.�
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
�Koga, you
braggart! How much longer do we have to wait? I have things to do!� Sesshomaru
growled under his breath, letting his anger fester deeper.
The wolf walked
around the table that Sesshomaru was sitting at and pulled out a chair across
from him. He dropped down into the leather chair and rocked back a few times.
�We should get chairs like these for our office. I like �em.�
�KOGA!�

Koga rolled his eyes and
turned toward the seething Lord. �Geez, don�t have a
heart attack. You might as well relax as well. It�s going to be a while until
that old man who owns this place gets here! You heard the secretary, he�s on
his way. Nothing I can do about it.� Again he started to rock back in the
chair.
�Do you have any
idea what I have left for me back the office?� Sesshomaru slammed his fist upon
the table. �A horde of old angry demons that are clamoring
for information on how I will hold this position as Lord! And you want
me to have to wait for some pathetic human to shuffle his butt in here just to
make some kind of contract? Yeah right! You, my so-called friend, are staying
here while I leave this place!�
Slamming his fist
once more on the table, Sesshomaru quickly left his seat and advanced toward
the door.
�Rin�s holding out
on ya, isn�t she?� Piped up the amused wolf.
If Koga didn�t
know the dog demon so well, he would have seen the look that Sesshomaru now gave
him as one of the scariest moments ever in his life. But Koga merely rolled his
eyes at the clenched fists, bared fangs and reddening eyes. �So I was right!�
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
�Go out with me.�
The muffin that
Rin had been chewing on suddenly stuck in the back of her throat and a fit of
coughing ensued as she tried to pull back the offending bit of food.
�What?!�
Rin squeaked between sips of water from her quickly filled glass.
�Go out with me!�
Kohaku scooted his chair closer to Rin and placed an arm around the back of her
chair, catching her once again in his arms. �Come on Rin. You don�t work at
Sagawa anymore, it works out perfectly for the both of us! I know that you like
me and I can�t help but feel the same toward you.�
Oh great! He was
coming onto her again! She should have seen it coming, Rin chided herself. It
had only been three weeks since he last tried this on her. Why did she think he
was gonna give up?
Rin used an arm to
push back against Kohaku�s chest and quickly moved over to the chair on her
left. �Kohaku, I�m sorry, but I can�t!�
He blinked in
disbelief. �Wha- Come on! You�re not serious!�
�Look,� Rin waggled a finger at his face, �I
told you the same thing before I quit Sagawa and it�s going to be the same
answer every time. I won�t ever go out with you again! Try to understand that!�
Kohaku leaned
forward, putting his face next to hers. �Give me one good reason why you
won�t!�
Rin promptly
shoved her left hand right into his face, extending her fingers wide, making
sure that he saw the ring finger. �I�m married, that�s why!�
His face went pale
and he dropped back in his chair. �Married? How can you be married! You never
had a boyfriend and you never said anything having a fianc�. That isn�t
possible!�
Rin expelled a
deep sigh and stared at the ring surrounding her finger before dropping the
hand back on her lap. �Oh, it�s possible alright. We�ve been married for almost
three weeks now.�
�So what was it?
Something your parents arranged back when you were kids?�
Rin shook her head.
�No, it wasn�t like that. I didn�t even know him until a few days before we
married. What we had was a sort of�agreement.�
Kohaku snorted in
response to her words. Resting his arms on the table, he leaned toward Rin. �Do
you love him?�
�I don�t know.�
The answer was
instant and Rin�s eyes widened in realization of what she had just said and
that she had even said it to Kohaku. Yet those words rattled around in her
mind, refusing to leave. Did she love Sesshomaru? Or did he even care about
her?
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
�Gentlemen! I apologize for being late!� Boomed
a deep voice from behind Sesshomaru. Turning, he met a squat man with
rosy cheeks and a fake smile plastered on his face. �I had to take care of a
few important matters that needed to be dealt with right away. Now are we ready
to talk?� The man clapped his hands together energetically and headed toward
his desk.
Amber
eyes followed the man�s haggard walk toward the desk in his office. His senses
told him that the human had been drinking, quite heavily to be precise.
Sesshomaru didn�t blame him, he knew the reputation that came along with
working with his company, even meeting him in person
was enough to make a human quiver in fear. He glared once at Koga, luck was only on his
side for a while.
Taking
a deep breath, Sesshomaru walked across the office while rubbing fingers on his
temples, a headache was bearing its way upon him. An annoying human and an
aggravating Koga. Everything was so irritating he couldn�t stand it! He walked toward the ceiling to floor window
that was the outside wall of the large office. Eyes scanned the streets below, even
if they were on the 50th floor, he could see just as clearly as if he was on
the street. It was a bit of an uplift to watch the public scrambling to make
their way down the street. He spotted several youkai, minor spells hiding their
appearances from the main stream of humans. There was a young fox walking down
the street, eyes ogling all the young women passing him. A weasel demon was
toting her menagerie of children down the sidewalk and an old bull demon waved
to the child walking behind her. It was a different look to life that he
thought he�d never see, demons living in sync with humans and no one knowing
the better.
His
gaze traveling absently across the street, his eye picked out the a young woman exiting a coffee shop on the opposite side
of the street. She walked beside a young man and was avidly talking with him.
He remarked to himself that her hair was almost the same color as Rin�s.
Realization kicked in with a jump start. No, that woman was Rin!! What was she doing here? She was usually
visiting her mother at this time, but she had time to leisurely sit at some
caf� with another man! His pulse leapt in anger at the sight of her and then
shifted into fury as he saw the man kiss Rin on the cheek.
�Damn that woman!�
He shouted out to the window, watching her walk away from the shop while the
man headed in the opposite direction.
�Everything
okay, Sadamoto?�
Sesshomaru turned
to see the drunken human stare at him in fright from the conference table where
he and Koga had been going over the contracts. Koga merely had an amused look
on his face, all the more infuriating Sesshomaru even more.
Relaxing the growl
he had stressed upon his face, Sesshomaru turned back toward the window,
glaring at the image of Rin walking down the street. �Fine�.just fine.� He
gritted through his teeth.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Rin dropped her
purse on the table beside the front door. Heading into the den next door, she
sank into a plush sofa, kicking off her shoes with an exasperated sigh.
�I am not wearing
heels to my mothers again!� Rin cried out. �My feet are killing me!�
She bent down to rub at her sore feet, the pinky toe on her left foot hurt especially the
worst. Yawning, she laid out across the couch. The day had really knocked her
out and already her eyes were heavy. Maybe just a few minutes to rest would
help.
Rin
didn�t hear the front door slam shut twenty minutes later. Nor the heavy stomp
of feet towards her in the den. The rumbling growl hardly graced her ears. She
was in too deep a sleep to notice anything happening around her.
�Rin!�
A voice said while his hand shook her shoulder.
�Mmmm�what?� She said sleepily, not wishing to leave the
haven of her dreams.
�Wake
up!� Growled the voice and pointedly sat her upright on the couch.
The
owner of the voice was suddenly apparent to Rin, her eyes popping open in
surprise. He stood before her, his eyes glowering at her in a way that she had
never seen before.
�Sesshomaru?
What are you doing home so early?� Rubbing the sleep from her
eyes.
�I
could ask the same of you.� Came the cold reply from
her husband.
�Me?
I left mothers a little early today. And I still missed the bus,
unfortunately.� Rin quickly stood and rounded the couch toward a side tray with
a pitcher of water on it. Hastily she filled a glass and stared straight ahead,
not daring to look into his eyes.
�And
just how is your mother?� Sesshomaru inquired as he paced through the room,
eyes locked on Rin�s form.
Her
body slumped at the question, suddenly feeling weak at the mere mention of her
mother�s condition. She placed the glass back onto the tray. �Not well. She�s�she�s
slipping. I seem to only notice it when I find that she can�t do something that
she could last week.�
�If
you saw her more often, I think you would be able to see those signs more
clearly. How often do you see your mother?�
Rin
shook her head, picking up her water glass again, strength somehow returning to
her body.. �I see her everyday. You know that.�
Lifting
the glass to her lips, Rin had only swallowed a few gulps before his voice
returned, now an icy layer to it.

�Then what is this?! Just what have you been doing on your days
away from here!?�
The
poison in his voice was deadly enough to make Rin turn her head around to look
over her shoulder. Sesshomaru stood beside Rin, her purse in one hand and a
slip of paper in the other. �What the damn hell is this!?� He waved the paper
at her face.
Rin
turned to stand against him. �What are you doing going through my purse? You
have no right!�
�Tell
me what you�re doing everyday, because it can�t be seeing your mother.�
Sesshomaru crumpled the paper in his hands and threw Rin�s purse to the ground,
all the while advancing himself closer to Rin. �I saw you today with that dreadful
human! Getting all cozy when you think I�m not around, huh? Trying your hand at
another man already?�
�Today? At the coffee shop! That
was nothing!�
�So
you admit it!� He pointed a clawed finger at her face.
Glaring
at Sesshomaru in anger, she lifted her head. �If that�s what you want to hear,
then yes! I was there with Kohaku! Are you happy now?�
�Oh just marvelous!� He threw up his arms in the air and
walked away from Rin. He headed toward the opposite side of the room and
stopped beside a table with a lamp atop it. Suddenly he lashed out with his
right arm and took out the lamp. It fell to the floor with a loud crash, bits
of the broken porcelain everywhere. A long stride carried him over to an
armchair and he gripped the back, his claws slowly digging into the fabric. �I
could kill you for this, you know.�
Rin
watched in horror at his actions, but quickly swallowed her fear. She couldn�t
be afraid of him, not any more. �Kill
me? For what? Talking with an old co-worker?�
�Talking?
Is that what they call it now?� He mocked, his jaw
tight with fury.
She
stalked up next to Sesshomaru and used her hand to forcibly turn his face
toward hers. �ASK ME! You ask me what I was doing there!�
In
a split second her wrist was in his grip, claws daring to pierce her skin.
�Why? So that you can lie again to my face?!�
Rin
was too far infuriated by his actions to be deterred by the murderous gleam in
his gaze. �I have never lied, especially to you! All we did was talk and that�s
it! Kohaku met me as I was walking home. I missed the bus and decided to walk!
I thought that it was nice to actually talk to someone who I used to know. I�ve
been locked up in this prison of house for so long, I�m going crazy!� She
jerked her wrist from his hold and took a few steps back, �Kohaku gave me his
address because he�s moving! That�s all that piece of paper was! But how could
I think that you would understand!�
She
pivoted and walked over to the phone on the wall, picking up the cordless
receiver. His eyes narrowed as she pointed the phone toward him and he turned
his head away.
�Call him!� She
insisted. �If you don�t believe me, you can call him! He can tell you the same
thing that I�m telling you now! Tell him that my new husband is angry at him
for talking to me!�
That
phrase caused Sesshomaru to look up at her with a surprised glance. This had
been the first time that he had actually referred to him as her husband, at
least to his face. Yet he brushed away that faint glimmer of surprise, turning
back to the icy malevolence he always carried. Now was not the time to be
taking her side. She was still a liar, still a sticky-fingered thief that would
try anything to get out from the grasp he had on her. But then, he realized, why did he feel so
relieved to hear her words? Why was he suddenly so happy to hear that she was defending
the marriage that she had fought against?
The
room lay silent, their heavy breathing being the only noise interrupting their
next choice of words. Sesshomaru loosened his hold upon the arm chair and
circled it, slowly easing himself down into the plush chair and leaned his
right elbow on its arm. Spreading his wide hand across his face, masking his
eyes from Rin�s accusing stares, Sesshomaru expelled a deep breath. �Why didn�t
you ask for a car or something? If it was so much trouble to even go to your
mother�s everyday, then why not have your own transportation?�
Rin
opened her mouth to quickly retort, to jibe back with a sarcastic remark, but
stopped herself. His whole body language had changed and she realized that he
was being sincere with his questions. Now was the time for a sincere answer. �Because I would be asking for more invites of hate filled insults!
I never want to be dependant upon you for anything. You mock me any time you
can about the money, the loan that you say I intentionally stole. If I ask for
a car, how many more cheap shots would I get from you?�
�Don�t
know. How many more lies were you going to tell me?�
Her
hazel eyes were cast up to the ceiling. �Again with the lies!
It always comes back to me lying, doesn�t it!� She
approached the seated demon, who hadn�t changed from
the first pose he struck. �Listen to me Sesshomaru, I never lied to you! Can�t
you believe that for once in your dense life!?�
He
moved a finger down to expose a tawny eye, finding Rin standing right in front of
him. �I believe what I see and nothing more! I live by my instincts and act on
them. And my instincts tell me otherwise when it comes to you.�
�Fine! Don�t believe me!� She yelled at him, her arms taught
with anger as she flailed them around in an attempt to alleviate her mood. Though it wasn�t working very well. She stalked to the
opposite side of the room and leaned against a bookshelf. �Is that all the
credit I get as your wife, your so-called �mate� as you put it? I don�t even know who I am. You keep me a
hostage, like a captive within my own home! How can I respect you as my own
husband if you don�t even give me any room to move?�
�Room to move?� Sesshomaru questioned as he lowered his hand,
uncovering a shocked expression. Staring at her brazen face, he let out a hard
laugh as he stood up from his seat. �You have been given more room to move than
I have given to any of my allies! You are not staying here against your will, I
merely brought you here in terms of our agreement. In fact,� Sesshomaru paused
as he advanced across the room, snaring Rin�s arms and pulling her close to his
body, �You don�t have an unwilling bone in your body!�
�Let
go of me!� Rin cried out as she strained against his grip.
�No,
I have a better idea.� He said with an evil grin, his eyes gleaming in the
afternoon light.
Rin stopped
struggling and looked up at Sesshomaru, wondering if she was hearing those
words right. Yep. The moment she saw that gleam in his eyes, she instantly knew
what he wanted. The only other time she�d seen him like this was on their
wedding night. The lust in his eyes was rising and it completely caught Rin
off-guard.
Without a word,
Sesshomaru was scooping her up in his arms and carrying her out of the den. Rin
twisted and strained at his hold, trying to get away. She couldn�t let him win
the fight like this!
Sesshomaru smirked
at how Rin tried so valiantly to escape his arms as he carried her up the
stairs, toward the master bedroom. She was a lively woman, human or not. Always
speaking her mind, and never taking no for an answer.
Kicking the door shut with his foot, he crossed the room and dropped Rin upon
the larger bed. She only had a second to try and roll away from him, but that
second had come and gone. Sesshomaru had a hold of her waist, pulling her to
him as he pinned her down with his crushing weight upon the bed. Capturing her
chin in his grip, he laid assault to her mouth. When she resisted, he grabbed
her head and forced her surrender. Licking her lips, as if savoring her taste,
he stared down at Rin, her chest heaving from the heat of the moment and her
struggles. His eyes wandered to watch the rise and fall of her chest, her
breasts ample forms protruding from a blouse that further invited him closer.
�You
can�t make me.� Burned her words of protest.
�Like
hell.� Sesshomaru laid a taunting chaste kiss upon her lips. �I think you
learned that lesson on our marriage night. I can feel your body respond to
every touch I make. I can feel your body trembling.�
Rin
blushed and tore her eyes away from the lust filled eyes that stared down at
her. It was true. The moment he had crushed her body next to his, something
stirred within her. His body, heavy upon her lithe frame, sent waves of radiating
heat that coursed through her body. Her resistance was melting with every
second, willing her to give in to him. For some reason, it didn�t matter if
they had just been fighting.
�You�re
heavy.� Rin mumbled.
Raising
his body off of Rin�s body, he let his lips linger lightly upon hers, seemingly
teasing her. �Do you know what you do to me? How my mind can�t forget the feel
of your body? Or the taste of your lips? Do you know
how angry I was when I saw you this morning?�
�You
shouldn�t jump to conclusions. It isn�t fair for you to attack me like that.�
Rin sighed, a hand snaking around his neck, her fingers tangling in his silver
locks.
�Where
is it stated in our marriage contract that I should be fair?� His hands roamed
over her body, tempting her with unspoken actions.
Rin
looked up into his eyes and her heart nearly leapt with the gaze she met. It
was not malice or anger shrouding those wondrous ocher eyes,
they were warm, glistening with a kind of jubilation. It surprised Rin, as she
had come to believe that all he wanted from her was her body. Nothing more than just an object, a play thing for personal use.
But now, it was as if he was happy that she wasn�t seeing another man.
BRRRRRRRT! BRRRRRRRT!
BRRRRRRRT! BRRRRRRRT!
Sesshomaru
groaned with the intrusion of the telephone ring into their bedroom. It was
just starting to get good. He looked down at Rin and grinned. Let it ring.
Rin
had other ideas. �Aren�t you going to answer that?� She pointed to the phone on
the bedside table.
Sesshomaru
leaned down to nibble at her neck. �Let it ring. I have better ideas to do
right now.� He hoped that Rin would catch his meaning.
�It
might be important.� Rolling away from his kisses, Rin reached for the phone.
Another
groan escaped Sesshomaru�s lips as he leaned on the bed, watching Rin talk into
the receiver. He could hear it was Koga on the line. Now what did that wolf
need now?
After
a few minutes, she hung up and turned back to Sesshomaru with a smile. �We have
a dinner appointment tonight.�
�What!�
He shot up on the bed as he watched Rin slink into her closet. �You actually
agreed to go over there?�
�Why
not?� Came the floating reply. �I haven�t seen Ayame in a while, or Koga. I
want to actually spend some time with people�.demons that I know. I need to get
out of here. Why don�t you want to go? I thought he was your friend.�
�It
doesn�t matter if he�s my friend or not! You just don�t know Koga. A lot of
times these so called �dinner parties� have an underlying method to them. I
just wonder what tonight�s plan is.�
