Chapter 2 � Self-Defense Lessons
            10 years has passed since the fairy cast her
spell on the brothers. Rin remained in the protective care of Sesshoumaru and
had grown into a 17 year old woman. She lived in his castle but rarely went on
his treks anymore as he had requested she stay behind over a year before. This
depressed Rin as she lived for being in the company of her Master Sesshoumaru.
He claimed it was for her own safety, but it was really because he had become
aware of her maturing body and wanted the comfort of stone walls between them
when they slept, a luxury he did not have while traveling across his lands.

Rin had wanted to know the basic skills of fighting, but Sesshoumaru was
reluctant to let her learn. He wanted to be the one to protect her, but since
he could not tell her that, he agreed to let her learn self-defense maneuvers.
Rin desperately wanted to travel with Sesshoumaru again and thought learning to
fight would make her more valuable and less of a burden.
            After many complaints from Rin about her
self-defense teacher, Jaken, Sesshoumaru searched for a skilled fighter to train
her. He did not want a demon because he knew a demon would have no sympathy for
the weakness of a human, so he employed a young human man, Kohaku. Sesshoumaru
knew of Kohaku from when he had Rin in his captured custody. While disliking
the human for the threat he had posed years ago, he knew Rin would be happy to
see a face from her past and that the boy could fight well. It was not easy to
get Kohaku to agree, it was only after promising that he would leave Kohaku�s
village in peace for 25 years that he returned to the castle with him.
Sesshoumaru had not mentioned the details of the training until they were
situated in his entrance hall after arriving home.
            �You did not tell me who I will be training and
for how long.� Kohaku reminded the great Lord of the Western Lands. �I need
you to train a child in my care self-defense. I believe you know her, Rin.�
Sesshoumaru stopped to watch Kohaku�s reaction. �Child? She cannot possibly
still be a child�� his voice trailed off as Rin came running down the central
stairs. Her black hair fell behind her to her waist and she glowed of happiness
and sentiment. This was definitely not a child! She had the body and the grace
of a beautiful woman and Kohaku blushed as she rushed over to hug him.
            Rin threw her arms around Kohaku squeezing him
in a friendly hug. Upon pulling away she smiled at him and breathlessly asked,
�Kohaku! How are you?� He returned the smile and answered, �I am well, and how
are you Rin? It has been a long time, you have grown into an adult.�
Sesshoumaru started to walk away not wanting to participate in this happy
reunion but Rin called out to him. �Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you going?� He
only looked back for a moment but did not respond. As he continued on his way
Kohaku asked his question again, �How long will you require my services?�
Sesshoumaru answered without stopping, �Until Rin can protect herself.� He
disappeared into the back hallway and Rin and Kohaku continued with their
catching up.
*~*
            After two weeks of Rin's training Sesshoumaru
stood gazing out his bed chambers window looking at the night sky. Rin seemed
very pleased with his choice in bringing Kohaku to teach her. Things were going
well. However, he noticed a slight twinge when he thought about them spending
time together. He could not place the feeling other than to classify it as
possession. Rin belonged to him and he wanted it to remain that way.
Sesshoumaru did not realize that what he was feeling could be jealousy, he felt
above those human emotions. It also did not cross his mind that he showed
jealousy while coveting his little brother�s sword, the Tessaiga.
            He had noticed that Kohaku was attractive to
human standards and wondered if Rin had noticed. He knew he should allow her to
find a mate, but when he had brought it up to her a few years back she cried
that she did not want to leave his side. Sesshoumaru chalked it up to her not
being ready at the time yet he had never mentioned it again as he was internally
happy to know she did not want to leave. Rin served no real purpose in his life
but he had become accustomed to her being around and found solace in her
unwavering care for him.
            Sesshoumaru heard giggling from downstairs and
went to investigate. Rin and Kohaku were eating supper and had launched into a
conversation about Kohaku�s love life. Apparently Kohaku was to marry a sweet
girl by the name of Akina at the start of the next season. �We met when I
returned to live in the village with my sister Sango and her husband Miroku.
She�s about your age and is a trained demon slayer. Although, she usually works
on sewing and mending our clothing. She prefers the needle to the sword!�
Kohaku laughed causing Rin to giggle, the sound that peeked Sesshoumaru�s
attention. �Oh Kohaku, that is so wonderful that you have found happiness, I
know the years were hard on you.� Rin lightly touched his forearm and
Sesshoumaru stepped into the room his eyes fixed on her gentle touch. Without
commenting he sat down at the head chair of the dining table and motioned for
them to continue. �Do not worry Kohaku, I will learn fast so you may return to
your village quickly. I would not want to keep you away for long.� Rin shifted
her attention to Sesshoumaru and sweetly smiled. �My lord, how was your day?�

            Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes a bit and
answered, �Fine. And yours dear Rin?� He froze realizing he had just used the
term �dear� with her, something he had never done. Rin also noticed the unusual
term of endearment but hid it well as not to displease Sesshoumaru. �Oh it was
quite a thrilling day! I learned how to throw a man over my shoulders upon an
attack from behind.� Rin squealed eager to show her lord her new move. �Please
show me.� Sesshoumaru politely said.
            �Kohaku, will you assist me?� Rin and Kohaku
stood up and stood off to the side of the table. Rin positioned herself facing
Sesshoumaru and Kohaku ran up from behind her. All Sesshoumaru saw was Rin
standing there, then a blur of Kohaku as he was hurled through the air landing
in a heap on the floor. Rin helped him up and they both turned to see
Sesshoumaru�s reaction. He sat quietly and then very slowly brought his hands
up and began a steady clapping. �I am pleased Rin, it seems you are learning
quickly.�
            Rin blushed at the compliment and returned to
her seat at the table. Sesshoumaru stood up to leave. �I shall leave you to
your conversation.� He walked gracefully out of the room while Rin watched him
with a far away look in her eyes. �So, you are enamored with Sesshoumaru.�
Kohaku stated as he also sat down at the table again. �Wh-What? Oh, I�� Rin�s
face turned red as she tried to think of something to say.
             Kohaku laughed and touched Rin�s arm as she
had done to him earlier. �It�s okay Rin. Your secret is safe with me.� He
smiled and Rin looked up at him. �Can you really tell? Is it that obvious that
I harbor feelings toward my Lord Sesshoumaru?� She had never spoken of her
feelings to anyone and was relieved that Kohaku had noticed, at least now she
felt she could talk about them to someone.
            �It is obvious that you adore him, but it is
not obvious that you love him. You hide your heart well. What is it that you
fear?� Kohaku�s intuitive question brought a sigh from Rin. �I am afraid that
Sesshoumaru does not like humans very much, and although I am in his care, I do
not feel he would take a human mate, much less love a human. I know my feelings
would not be returned.� Rin�s face drooped a bit and Kohaku spoke
sympathetically. �I understand your plight. Sesshoumaru is a powerful demon,
one I would not want to go up against. But I have seen him with you and you do
hold a special place in his life. He would die protecting you. I have also
noticed the way he looks at you when I am near. He shows signs of jealousy,
they are faint, but still, they are there.�

Rin perked up a bit at hearing this. �Jealousy? Really? I had not
noticed, but perhaps you are right. But still, I am only a human and know my
place with him. I am Rin the child in his eyes.� Rin sighed heavily again.
�Trust me Rin, there is no way he sees you as a child! There is nothing
childish about you. Even though he�s a demon, he�s still a male and you are
very beautiful. He refers to you as a child only to diminish the idea of you as
an enticing woman.� Rin giggled at Kohaku�s description of her Master�s
thoughts and they fell into a deep conversation.
             They talked well into the night before
retiring. Rin told Kohaku about how Sesshoumaru had stopped taking her on his
trips and how he no longer allowed her to sit in his lap like she had as a
child. She had also found his bedroom door locked one stormy night ending her
ability to sleep next to him when she was scared. Her kimono�s went from a
normal cut to a more shape revealing design in the last year and Sesshoumaru
ended his guard over her while she bathed in the hot springs. He had instead
stuck Jaken on that duty; luckily for her Jaken remained grumbling behind a
tree.
            Kohaku had offered his supportive listening and
male perspective on the situation. He had advised that if she truly feared
rejection due to her human status, that it would be best to remain quiet and see
if Sesshoumaru came forward. He did not want to see Rin�s heart crushed and he
was worried that Sesshoumaru had been gradually distancing himself from Rin as
she became more and more of a woman. Kohaku left Rin at the door of her
chambers which were down the hall from Sesshoumaru�s before entering his own
room downstairs.
            Rin changed into her sleeping robe brushing the
back of her hand against her breast in the process. Oh Sesshoumaru�if only
you knew how I felt, how I desired you. Rin crawled into her bed pulling
the covers up to her chin. Remembering how her hand had felt along her skin,
she slipped her hands into her robe and lightly cupped her breasts. She closed
her eyes and imagined Sesshoumaru�s hands on her. Rin had pleasured herself
before, but never while Sesshoumaru was home, only while he was out of the
castle roaming his land.
            Still feeling awkward about touching herself,
she let her mind wander to a far off fantasy. Sesshoumaru was her lover and
gently caressed her body while staring into her eyes. Rin�s hands drifted lower
to her abdomen. She could feel herself getting wet and rubbed her thighs
together a bit. Sesshoumaru, touch me. Show me you love me. Rin
relaxed and allowed herself to sink into the slowly building heat. She brought
her hand between her legs and began massaging that little place that had made
her feel so good before.
            Down the hall Sesshoumaru sat reading a book in
his chambers. He had heard Kohaku say goodnight to Rin earlier in the hall and
became annoyed at the late hour they had stayed up together. He had not heard
Kohaku speak of his engagement to another and recalled the gentle touch Rin had
bestowed upon him at dinner. I shall kill that boy if he touches my Rin.
As the thought crossed his mind his nose picked up a faint scent that he had not
smelled before. Concentrating on it he drew a deep breath.


Sesshoumaru�s eyes flared wide as he realized what the scent was. Rin was
aroused. He stood clenching his fists at his side, if that boy is in with
Rin I shall rip him apart! He quickly and quietly moved out of his room and
down the hall to Rin�s door. If Kohaku was in there with her he did not want to
give him a chance to run. Attempting to control his ever growing rage
Sesshoumaru threw the door open, �RIN!�
