Rin closed her eyes as her body
swayed gently in sync with Ah-un’s cumbrous
steps. It was a stiflingly hot day, but
at the pace the pack animal was going, she was able to salvage a slight
breeze. She wore her obi loose today, to
allow that almost imaginary breeze to penetrate her kimono and cool her
flesh. A small sound of relief escaped
her, causing the dragon to swivel its ears curiously in her direction.
With her closed eyes, she could
hear the birds in the trees, the occasional scampering of a small creature
fleeing from her imposing Lord. Closer, she could hear the rattle of Jaken’s Staff of Heads. Once she had taken in the sounds of
her surroundings, she became aware of her other senses. One by one she explored
them: smell, taste, and touch.
Smelling the forest, it had a heady
scent. Thick with life and damp moss, this was the time of year that it was the
heaviest. With her eyes closed, she
could almost discern the details of the forest as Ah-un passed them by; a
fallen log, decaying and giving life to others after death was the foremost. Next, some sort of pine dripping its sap
along its branches with a tangy scent.
The scent was so thick, she could
taste it. It was not unpleasant, but
different. Her lips parted a bit as her
tongue darted out to wet them. A sudden
jarring of the pack animal startled her and almost sent her tumbling off the
beast, but she managed to steady herself by placing a hand on its thick hide.
Unfortunately her lip was not unscathed. The slight trickle of blood on her
bottom lip was quickly remedied with a bit of gentle suction.
Shutting her eyes once more, she
was pleased to find her senses still a bit heightened. Focusing her mind on the sensation of touch,
she became engrossed in the feel of the dragon’s rough hide against her soft
hand. Running her hand along its neck,
she was rewarded when the dragon emitted a rumbling sound, not unlike
purring. Rin would have giggled at its
antics, but feel of the vibrations on the sensitive juncture between her legs
sent a new searing heat through her body.
Rin’s
breath hitched in her throat and her legs clamped closed. The new sensations
that were awakened within her almost made her cry out, and they only
intensified with each continuing step that Ah-un took. Searching for something to hold onto before
she felt she would be swept away, Rin dug both of her hands into his thick mane. Another sudden jarring by the beast sent her
over the edge, and she felt as if she were going to pass out.
Sensing his ward’s distress,
Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to find Rin hunched
over and breathing heavily atop Ah-un.
Immediately he was beside the two, and placing a hand on her
shoulder. To his surprise, it came in
contact with not fabric, but her heated skin.
Her loosened obi had allowed the sleeve to slide down her arm.
Undeterred, Sesshoumaru applied
pressure to her shoulder to get her attention, but the young woman seemed too
lost in her thoughts to look up at him. “Rin.”
That got her attention. Just as Rin looked up to meet his eyes, the
wind shifted, and her scent hit him like a brick house. Arousal. Blatant female arousal. His hand twitched and he felt his pupils
dilate. ‘This is the first time I have
smelled this on her, she must be in heat. That means only three days at most
before she bleeds…I thought I had more time.’
Sensing his inner turmoil despite
his ever stoic mask, Rin responded, sounding breathy and inadvertently
seductive to Sesshoumaru’s ears, “Hai,
Sesshoumaru-sama?”
For several long moments they stared at each other. Rin was the first to
look away, a heavy blush forming on her face. ‘Why do I feel this way? Have I done something wrong?’
Sesshoumaru was bewildered by her
actions. Before he allowed his mind to fully wrap itself around her tousled
hair, heavy breathing, glistening skin, and bleeding lip…’Bleeding lip?’ Removing his
hand from her shoulder he reached up and ran a finger over her bottom lip,
wiping away the small pool of blood that had formed. If it were possible, her blush deepened.
Rather than ponder this turn of
events, he straightened his back and said, “We will be reaching our destination
by nightfall.” He did not wait for a response, resuming the course. He did pull ahead of the pack, however. When he was enough ahead of the three, he
brought his hand up to his face and sucked the blood off his index finger.
Rumbling low in his chest, he savored the coppery sweet taste of her lifeblood.
‘Delicious.’
Jaken, who had witnessed the Lord’s
interaction with Rin, merely shook his head.
‘Baka ninjen, so weak and helpless. If it were not for us she
would be dead a thousand times over.’
His sense of smell was nowhere comparable to his Lord’s, so despite his
agitation, he was none the wiser to what really transpired.
Rin on the other hand was a violent
tide of emotion. ‘What was that…pleasure?
Why have I never felt this before?’
Suddenly acutely aware of dampness between her thighs, she readjusted
herself on Ah-un. Solidifying her
resolve, she decided to ask her Lord about it when they arrived at the
castle. He had always answered her
questions when she asked, or at least instructed Jaken to. Allowing a smile to grace her features once
more, she gently patted Ah-un and looked off into the distance and scanned the
mountain range that their destination was nestled between.

End Chapter Two
As much as I am trying to marry up my two stories to create
a series of sorts, I find that my writing style has evolved much over the past
year when I first wrote Ardent Trust.
You may have noticed that this story has a more humorous undertone than
Intrusion on the Innocent, as well as a change in the style of the character
monologue. As both stories progress, you will be able to see how the two
actually go hand in hand as well as the maturation and heavier overall tone in IotI in comparison
to AT. This is intentional.
It is my goal that once both of these are complete, before I
start the next ‘season’ (if you will), the readers will be able to go back and
read both of them and be able to draw the connection between the two and see
the evolution of the characters in the big picture.
But anywho, as always, please
review. I will from time to time use up a bit of space to address any questions
of ‘gravity’ without giving away any spoilers.
Next up: The coming
home. Rin asks her Lord a couple
questions that have been on her mind and Sesshoumaru declares a faux ‘cease
fire’ with himself long enough flee from the battle with a diversionary
tactic.
