Sesshoumaru watched the wind demon ascend, still somewhat perturbed by his father’s ongoing persistence. It was his life, Damnit. He should be the one making all the decisions about his present and future. Not his father. He turned to leave.
“Sesshoumaru.”
He paused.
“Have you explained everything to your mate? Does she know the full gravity of the situation?”
　
Sesshoumaru sensed the concern in his sire’s tone. “Explain?”
　
“Yes, my son. Does your mate know what will happen if the union is not consummated? It is not hard to see that the girl is suffering. Do you wish to cause her more pain? Have you made any effort to bond?”
Taken somewhat aback by such personal questions from his father, he did not answer, knowing the truth. No. He had not, in full detail, actually sat down and explained everything to Rin: how the bond directly affected them both and how they needed to consummate because of his father’s formal mating agreement.
“What I and my mate do in private is none of your concern.” He grumbled a growl while walking toward the house, choosing not to fly for he needed the time to think before seeing his mate again.
==================================================
After taking a warm bubble bath, brushing her teeth, and drying her hair with the electric hair dryer,
Rin, smiling, crawled up on the bed, loving the feel of how the fluffy mattress hugged her body and how soft the sheets and comforter was. Grabbing Teddy and Pandy, she snuggled under the covers. It had been one of the happiest days she had ever had. Still smiling, she sighed, recalling the days events: playing volleyball, eating all the good food at the dinner table while laughing and listening to all the family commotion, and playing board games with Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo and Izayoi. Yes. It had been a very good day and for the moment, lying there, safe, with her teddy’s, she was happy.
Eyelids heavy with sleep, Rin’s last thought was of Sesshoumaru and what he had said to her that day. ‘”You are good enough. You are now my mate. I want you to sleep here, in our bed. You now belong to me and are a part of my family. We are family. You belong here. With me.”’ His voice had been so deep and soft, resonating with the warmth that she had seen in his eyes. That warmth in his eyes had made her warm on the inside. It was the first time she had ever felt like she was wanted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru opened his bedroom door to find it dimly lighted by the open bathroom door and Rin in the bed fast asleep. Silently, he walked to the bed, making sure his mate was sleeping soundly before going to the walk in closet to change into a pair of grey sweat pants and white t-shirt.
Moments later he lay down on the couch with one of the books that Kaede had given him along with a couple more he had found in the library downstairs: one on human anatomy and the other on human mating practices.
A couple of hours of reading passed by. The information on human females was enlightening but somewhat confusing. They needed so much of what the book called ‘affection’: holding, hugging, kissing, along with playful pats and tender caresses. The explanation of why such acts were warranted was not lost on him. He knew that humans were different but he also knew that Rin, because of that damned hanyou, may not be ready for that type of ‘attention’. He sighed heavily, reading on. Somewhere, somehow he was going to gain the knowledge to help him and his mate. Never again did he want his mate to be hurt, especially by him.
Another hour of reading passed. Just as he was about to shut the book, he sensed Rin’s breathing grow unsteady. He set the book on the floor, stood, then went to stand by the bed. Indeed, her chest was rising and falling in halted jerks. A low moan left her slightly parted lips as her head moved from side to side.
Seconds passed as the low moan became more pronounced into pleading whispered words. “I’m sorry. Daddy. Don’t. Please. I’m sorry. I won’t.. Please don’t.. Uh… It hurts.”
The girl’s heartbeat began thudding in his senses as she began to thrash weakly within the covers. “No. No. Nooooo…. Daddy please…”
His hackles rose when her fear began filling the room and her breaths became more and more labored, her chest heaving in distress. “Nooo!!! Please!!!”
The next sound left her throat in a strained gurgle as if she were choking.
Suddenly afraid for his mate, he slid onto the bed and reached out to her. Gently, he took hold of her shoulder. “Rin. Wake up.”
At his touch, her eyes shot open and she sat up breathing hard. Staring wide and fearfully out in front of her, Rin gasped for air, her chest heaving painfully. The girl blinked a few times, her brown eyes glazed over with an unseen fear.
Still dazed, she began to pat the covers, searching, almost frantic. “Teddy? Teddy? Where are you?”
Knowing she had probably pushed the stuffed bear over the edge while thrashing about, Sesshoumaru made a move to get it only to freeze when her searching hands found him. She froze in shear blinding terror. “Daddy?”
When the word quivered from her lips, a lump lodged in his throat. He swallowed the feeling down.
“No, Rin. Its me. Your mate. You were dreaming.”
At his voice, she trembled out a breath. “Sesshoumaru?”
“Yes. It is I.”
Rin went limp against him, clutching his waist as she began to cry. “He was here. He was here. He said he was going to…. To.. That I’d been a bad girl and he was going to…then he…he… made me..”
Sesshoumaru held her trembling body close. “You were dreaming. He is not here.”
For several minutes, he held her, waiting till her quiet sobs died to the occasional sniffle. “Are you better?”
The girl nodded into his t shirt which was now damp from her tears.
Gently, he lowered her back to lie flat on the bed. Before he could move away, she took his hand and held fast. Begging. “Please. I. I don’t want to be alone.”
He could not bring himself push her hand away. “I will be right here on the couch. You will not be alone.”
She shook her head, pulling him down. “Please. Please stay with me.”
Sesshoumaru could not refuse his mate. He lay down beside her.
Several moments passed as he listened to Rin’s breathing which was now calming along with the beat of her heart. The smell of fear had vanished, now replaced with the sweetness of a calmed serenity. On his side, thankfully on top of the covers, he gazed at Rin’s profile, quite aware of her warm hand still latched onto his arm, which she had draped over her waist. She blinked, her lids opening and closing slowly with sleep. Hopefully she would fall asleep soon so he could remove himself from such a close proximity. He did not know how long it would be before…
As if answering his mental worry, his body betrayed him yet again. The sweet smell of his mate in this relaxed state, and her body being so close, aroused him. He needed to move away and soon. “Rin…”
He began but paused. What could he say to her? She needed him close but that closeness was going to make him… Without thinking, he watched her sleepy profile: the way her long brown lashes fluttered with the slowness of sleep, how her flushed red cheeks faded to a lighter pink, how her sweet lips parted while she began a rhythmic breathing. He licked his lips, not realizing how much he wanted to taste the softness of hers.
His vision hazed with the want and all thought faded. He leaned in and tasted her cheek and the saltiness of dried tears.
　
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warmed and falling back to sleep, Rin let her body relax knowing she was not alone, feeling the slight weight of Sesshoumaru’s arm lying across her waist. As the dim light of the room fell to darkness, she breathed evenly and slowly.
Then. She felt a warm wet touch on her cheek.
