----------------------------
After InuYasha and Kagome left to wait down in the lobby for her, Rin
slipped out of bed and opened the suitcase. In it she found two
pairs of jeans, two skirts, two pairs of shorts, some blouses, and
some underwear. The blouses were pretty and they matched the skirts.
Rin picked a long sleeve pink button down blouse that was very soft along with
a dark pink skirt. She rummaged through the sweet smelling clothes to
find some tennis shoes and sandals. She dropped the sandals on the floor.
Rin tried on the sandal, finding it a little big but almost perfect.
She slipped it off but stared at her feet for a long moment before turning
and looking at the large mirror over the sink.
Her hair was messy so she grabbed the brush by the sink and began brushing.
Slowly, she brushed while gazing at her hospital gown. It had been a long time
since she last looked at her body. Frowning at the bruises on her neck,
she remembered the last thing her father had done to her and how much
it had hurt.
Rin put the brush on the table then removed her gown. Naked, she turned,
inspecting the damage. On her stomach, side and back were large red welts with
small black stitches in the center of most of them. Delicately, she felt
one with the tip of her finger to find it sore to the touch. Dropping her
arms, she stood and stared at the cuts and bruises along with all the other
scars from the past. Her gaze fell on the bite mark. The holes were scabbed
over but still red. She touched the wound lightly with despair. It was so
ugly; a true symbol of what she really was: a fucking slut. Rin sighed,
letting the feeling pull her down. She remembered how angry the dog demon
had been, how painful it was when his teeth sunk into her skin,
marking her for life, marking her to forever be his.....
Rin closed her eyes and breathed deep and even. She shouldn't let it
get to her right now. Right now, no one was hurting her, no one was around
to tease or make fun or call her names. Right now she was alone and safe.
She opened her eyes and began to dress.
====================
Sesshoumaru stood by Rin's door. He had been there all night, even waiting
while his mutt of a brother and miko mate visited. At the moment, he
could hear her rustling about, probably dressing in some of the clothes
Kagome brought. He frowned at the thought of his mate smelling like
InuYasha's miko wench. Later, he would make sure to buy her some clothes
of her own.
"Sesshoumaru?"
He barely gave notice to the old woman who had walked up and didn't reply.
Kaede smiled. "Still guarding Rin's door, I see. I figured you would
take a break and find some breakfast."
The covered tray in Kaede's hands
smelled of bread, meat, and fruit. He despised fruit and tolerated bread but
seared meat of any kind tempted him. The tray, of course, was for Rin. His
mate needed to eat so her wounds would heal. Not saying anything, he returned
to his silent stance and thoughts.
++++++++++++++++++++
Kaede knocked on the door. Hearing Rin say "Yes.", she opened the door and
carried the tray in. Rin was sitting on the bed dressed in a light pink
blouse and dark pink skirt. It was very flattering on her small frame.
Kaede smiled. "Good morning, Rin. How are you?"
The girl gave a shrug while staring at the blue hospital blanket. "Okay,
I guess."
Kaede sensed Rin's sadness but didn't pry. She placed the tray of food
on the rolling table and removed the lid. "I brought your breakfast this
morning."
Rin perked up some and reached for the food. She munched on the toast.
"Kaede?"
"Yes, child?"
"Are you going to stay with me at...at my new home? At least, for a while?"
The girl sounded hopeful but her large brown eyes were quivering with
worry. Kaede knew she couldn't live there with them. It would delay the bond
that needed to be completed between her and Sesshoumaru. "I can visit
a few times a week, child. That is all. But don't worry. You'll be okay.
Sesshoumaru will take good care of you."
The girl's worried gaze fell to the blanket again as she continued to eat.
"Okay. I'd like that." Rin sounded so sad that Kaede almost gave in but
held her tongue. She knew that it was going to be difficult, but Rin needed
to live with Sesshoumaru alone.
---------------------------
Sesshoumaru readied himself for Rin. A nurse wheeled her out of the
room in a wheelchair. Rin, holding her teddy bear, stared at her knees as
she was pushed down the hall. Sesshoumaru followed the nurse and Kaede
who was holding Rin's new suitcase.
When they entered the lobby, a fast ball of fuzzy tail jumped onto Rin's lap,
startling her. "Hi, Rin!"
Sesshoumaru growled low for only the fox kit to hear.
The kitsune, who had been smiling, suddenly froze and looked at him with wide
eyes. Sesshoumaru wanted to knock the kit off his mate but held his hand when
Rin brightened and wrapped her arms around the fuzzball.
He didn't know what irritated him more: the smell of the fox kit on his mate
or the way Rin hugged the kitsune.
"Shippo." Rin smiled as she hugged the fox kit.
Shippo giggled, obviously forgetting the warning growl. "I'm so happy to
see you. InuYasha said we could visit you sometimes at his brother's house.
InuYasha also said I could live with him from now on. He said he has a big house
and he and Kagome are going to adopt me. Isn't that great?"
Rin hugged the kit again. "That's great Shippo. I'm so happy for you."
Sesshoumaru frowned at the display of affection Rin was showing the
fox child.
InuYasha and Kagome walked into the hospital. "The car is ready, Rin. I'll
drive while Sesshoumaru rides up front with me. Kagome says she'll keep you
company in the back seat."
Rin nodded. "Okay." She slowly stood up from the wheelchair after Shippo
jumped to InuYasha's shoulder. Sesshoumaru felt an urge to help Rin up but
didn't. Instead, he took the suitcase from Kaede.
"I will come later this evening to check up on Rin." The older woman
told him as he began to follow his new mate out the door.

Rin stared out the window as the world passed by: from city to
suburb, to nothing but trees and grass. Shippo, who had been chatting
for half the ride, was now asleep in Kagome's lap.
No one in the car was talking and
Rin noticed the low level of tension. She glanced at InuYasha then Sesshoumaru,
letting her eyes rest on his silvery white hair which half hid his
unexpressive profile. She stared at his face for a long moment before
shuddering from the painful memory and going back to the scenery
of passing trees and grass. Again, she reached up and touched the bite mark.
Blinking the sting from her eyes, Rin twisted the hem of her
blouse in her hands. She belonged to him now. She belonged to that dog
demon and soon she would be living with him all alone in that house.
What would he do to her? How would he treat her? InuYasha told her several
times that Sesshoumaru didn't want to hurt her but...
He had already hurt her before.
He had been so angry.
And she had been so scared.
It had been so painful, so deeply painful.....
Rin began to recognize the landscape. When her house came into view, she
felt a strange sensation of finally being home but nauseous at the same time.
They pulled up in the driveway of Sesshoumaru's house, her new home.
========================
Everyone got out of the car. Sesshoumaru led the way and was the first
one in the house. InuYasha carried the suitcase while Kagome walked behind
her with a sleepy-eyed Shippo on her shoulder.
When Rin stepped in, she didn't see Sesshoumaru.
InuYasha and Kagome helped her unpack and settle into the bedroom she had
slept in before while Shippo investigated everything he could: from her
bedroom, to the living room, to the kitchen. He came back into the bedroom
with some bread. "Hey, I found the kitchen!"
Shippo grinned while gobbling down a spotted banana along with the bread.
"Hey squirt. Don't go digging in the kitchen again. I won't be held
responsible if my brother uses your hide to sharpen his claws."
InuYasha growled.
The kitsune shrugged his small shoulders. "Whatever."
Rin let herself grin at Shippo's cute attitude.
---------------------------------------
Rin waved to them as they pulled out of the driveway, still feeling
the warm hug Kagome had given her before they walked out the
front door. Kagome was so nice
to her. It almost seemed unreal.
Now alone, Rin glanced around the spacious living room. Not knowing what to
do, she decided to go back to her room and take a nap. It was almost evening
though but she didn't care. She was tired from all the people being around,
something she wasn't used to.
While walking through the house, she glanced about the doorways and into
the other rooms, wondering about the dog demon. She hadn't seen him since
they arrived and now, deep inside, a worry crept up. What if he had
been waiting for InuYasha and Kagome to leave? What if, now that they
were alone, what if he was about to...to...?
A nightmarish image of teeth and claws ripping at her clothes and skin
flashed in her mind, making her entire body tremble.
She entered her room and shut the door. Leaning against it, she breathed
heavily, her chest heaving with pain. All at once, something inside
broke, gushing out. Tears began streaking down her cheeks as
she sobbed to the floor, her weight still pressed against the door, solidly
pushing it tight, keeping it from being opened by.....him.
------------------------
The moment Sesshoumaru entered his home, he quickly went upstairs to
his room and closed the door. He stripped off his dirty clothes and
stepped into the shower. The hot spray engulfed him as he stood there,
trying to wash the irritation away.
In his house now was Rin and InuYasha and
InuYasha's miko wench. He only hoped they would leave right after getting
Rin settled.
Naked, he dripped through the bedroom to his closet. Finding some comfortable
clothes for the night, he slipped on the black pants and long sleeve black
robe, which he tied in the front. Trying to forget about everything, he
stood by the window and stared at the evening sky.
After InuYasha left, he listened intently for his mate who he knew was
still in the house. He heard her light footfalls downstairs and then
the bedroom door shut.
Then, he heard her cry.
Sesshoumaru didn't move. What could he do for her? What could he do
for his frail human female mate but guard her from a distance?
Rin accepted
his presence. That was all.
She didn't want him too close.
She didn't want his comfort.
She didn't want his arms around her.
She didn't want his body...

She didn't want him.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and listened to her weep.
