Thanks to Sesshomaru-lover, Jem46, mai, “blank”, tsujita_91 and some1 for reviewing.

Some1: Yes, I know Baka means idiot/fool/stupid. That’s why I named the demon Baka. I always thought it would be pretty to have a minion where all you had to do was shout idiot to get him to come… kinda like my uncle damnit.

I really have no reason as to why I am so late, minus the school work that is. You might see this chapter as a slight cop-out but I think it actually kind of fits.

Oh and before you venture any further…. This chapter contains a flashback. I don’t indicate where the flashback is, but you should probably be able to figure it out, hopefully. So no yelling that it doesn’t make any sense. The little flashback signs would really ruin the mood I’m trying to set.

So without further delay…. Here is the next chapter.

Chapter 21 –Sesshomaru’s Heart- -Sesshy’s POV-

I look ahead, my eyes trained on the woman crouched in front of me. Her muscles are tight with restraint, waiting from the signal of her master to attack me. I know that I will not fight, for once I will back down. I have only done this once before; when my brother was under the influence of his demonic nature.

I don’t notice anyone else, minus perhaps my son as my mate launches forward, her movement quicker than I had ever seen. I knew though, that it was all Naraku’s doing, that bastard hanyou caused my Rin to gain such speed. My hands reach forward as she approaches me and grasp her wrists in my grip, twisting her arms lightly so she can feel how strong I am.

As I look into my mate’s brown eyes and see her try to forcibly pull herself from my grasp. I can’t help but transfer both of her wrists to one of my hands as I slowly trace the contour of her cheek. Her eyes are biting and if I did not have my mask up I would wince at how different she looked. Under Naraku’s control my mate is far different from the young girl I rescued over 50 years ago, and she’s changed from the woman I mated 40 years ago.

I know that it’s dangerous to let my mind wonder, but I know that Rin can not break out of my hold so I allow what comes naturally to happen. With my impassive mask still in place I think about how much this woman has changed me. When she found me after I had been slightly injured by my brother’s attack I had thought I would have no use for this human girl. She was small and did not speak.

But as the days grew on, though I remained impassive, almost to the point of being cruel she still continued to bring me food and one day I noticed that she had bruises, and something over took me. I had probably spoken to her more than I ever had spoken to anyone, minus possibly my family when I was younger. I had asked the frightened girl questions as to why she was hurt and since she could not talk I did not get answers. I do not know what came over me that day, but now that I look at it I am grateful that I did question her.

Those thoughts somehow plagued my mind and I’m still not sure why. It didn’t seem to matter anymore after I had healed enough to move; I thoug cou could push the young girl out of my mind. However fate seemed to be laughing at me and I stumbled upon her again, but she was dead. I know that my excuse to Jaken about why I used tenseiga was a lie, it was a lie through my teeth in all honesty. The reason why I saved her that day was because, even though before, when I was in the forest Rin’s eyes were dull, but they still held life, still held hope. That hope was lost when I looked upon her dead body, and I couldn’t deal with that. It was like showing that all hope was lost, and I could not handle that. It would mean that all hope of achieving the greatness I sought, the hope of bringing my brother back up to his place while looking like I was trying to bring him down would be gone.

So I swung tenseiga over Rin’s body, passing it off as a test. And she followed after me, became another companion.

A sharp bark towards my mate jolted my attention back to the present and I found myself looking to where the shout had come from. I knew it was Naraku, that disgusting bastard. He was silent after his initial shout and I caste a glance back to my brother who was searching for the source of Naraku’s voice as well. My eyes go back to my mate and I narrow my eyes at her cocky look. It’s never a look that crosses her face. I’ve only seen it during her younger days where verbal battles with Jaken were common. Even then she only gave this look when she knew that he would not lash back in fear of my wrath.

So it was almost amusing to see her give me this look before she tried to twist her body away, flipping her body upward. The hand on her cheek, however, slid down and grasped her ankle, pulling her back to the ground.

My mate gave a disgraceful “umph” as she tried to land on her two feet, but the force which I pulled her down with caused her to fall backwards, landing on her butt. I almost laugh again, this position brought back even more memories. Dark-humor memories. Memories of her trying to run away. Though I had always known she had loved me; her heart had almost been captured by another.

I would allow Rin to take trips with Jaken to the closest human village around our castle. I despised human company and felt myself too superior to walk amongst them, so I never followed. Besides, if they knew that Rin was associated with me, they might hurt her, even if they feared me. But when Rin turned 17, her and Jaken would come back arguing, Jaken saying something about betrayal and Rin fiercely denying any such part.

“Shut up Jaken,” Rin hushed my servant, her brown eyes flashing with menace. Her head shot up as she heard my silent approach; having learned instinct through almost 10 years in the companion of demons. “Sesshomaru-sama, we’re back.”

I said nothing, sparing Jaken a glance. “Go to your room.” I didn’t need to say her name; she knew I meant her.

Rin tried to question me, but as I gave her a hard glare she bowed her head, shuffling past me as quickly as she could in her full-length kimono. My mind wondered as to why I would constantly buy her the length that she so despised, but I knew it was more for my control over her than to please her. She still had a few knee-length ones in her closet, ones she had made for herself.

My eyes went to Jaken and I looked as expectantly as I could. At Jaken’s curious look I turned heel, intending him to follow after me into my office. As I comfortably stood by the window looking over my land I asked my servant the one question that had been plaguing my mind since these bickers between the two of them had begun.

“How is she betraying us?”

My servant squawked and he quickly explained the situation to me. “She’s been running off every time we go to the market. I use to never find her, but after much trouble I found and she was in the company of a human male! And they are talking about marriage!”

I unconsciously stiffened but did not let my servant see it. “What matter is that to me Jaken? She is human, eventually she will live in that village, that was the intent when we allowed to go there. To find a mate and settle down.”

I heard Jaken shuffle his feet and resisted turning my head. “Forgive me, Sesshomaru-sama, for this might seem to be intruding into your own personal business, but I thought that you had already laid a claim to the girl. I mean, you still keep her around, and only recently have you allowed her to stop sleeping in your chambers, and even sometimes she runs to you if the nights are cold or there is thunder. And while we are out surveying the land-“

I stopped my servant from speaking as I turned sharply and saw him start to shrivel in fear. I took a step towards him and saw him resist all urge to retreat. “It is none of your business what my intentions were towards the human. They matter not now. She obviously has chosen which life she wants.”

Jaken seemed at a dismay, and I knew that he had become attached to Rin as much as I had, though not in the same manner as myself. I however could not allow that to stop me. She wanted to leave, then she could leave. I would merely give my blessings.

I walked to where Rin was staying, obeying me in retreating to her room. I opened her chamber door without a thought and walked in, shutting the door after me. I took in the sight of her room, where she was sitting brushing her hair by the mirror I had gotten for her. Her room is neat and cared for, though possibly not as lived in as it should have been. Jaken was right; Rin was 14 when I finally allowed her to have her room, not that she wanted to leave my side, a trait shown every night she would come back to me in fear of being alone.

Rin turned herself around and gave me a pleasant smile. “Hello Sesshomaru-sama.”

She didn’t ask why I was there, in her heart she probably already knew. I merely step into the center of the room which is still bathed by the sunlight, not yet needing the candles to be lit. My eyes were drawn to the bag by her feet and hurt went through me, she was already packing to leave. “Ready to go somewhere?”

Rin blushed and quickly stammered as she noticed where my eyes were drawn too. “Go- gomen nasai Sesshomaru-sama. I, I was going to tell you.”

I said nothing as I picked up the bag and lifted it up. It reeked of human and I could only guess it was the male Jaken had been talking about. Now that I sniffed the air I noticed that she smelled of him too. How could I not have noticed? Had this man’s scent gotten so etched into what was mine that I had thought it was part of her natural scent?

I looked back down at the girl and turned my back after our met. I refused to show any weakness towards the girl. I had no feelings for her, I had no need for her. “Go to your human. I give you my blessing.” The words came out harsh and I almost regretted them, but the look of relief on my Rin’s face made my heart melt, if only an inch. But if I had looked long enough I would have also seen the hurt that was mixed in as well.

My arms come up again and I grasp Rin by the wrists again. She thought that she could take me by surprise but she is wrong. I try not to remember why she came back to me, it is not something that is pleasing, and I would rather have it not known by anyone but myself and her.

I know that my eyes must be looking softly at her making the possessed demon in my hold confused. My concentration however is broken as an arrow aims straight for my mate’s back. My body turns quickly and the arrow meets my armor instead of the soft skin of my mate. I grit my teeth as the arrow’s power does not give and it takes another arrow, one shot from the power of my brother’s mate to make the arrow leave my back.

I turn back around at the gasp of the others, still keeping Rin in my hold but protected by my body. My eyes narrow at the sight that greets me. Naraku and Kikyo are sitting atop a tree, Kikyo with her bow pulled back. I know it’s Kikyo only because of her hanyou body, one that greatly resembles my brother’s mate’s body.

Another arrow flies towards the group and again the arrow is met by another just like it.

“Naraku!” My brother screams, his hands reaching for tetsusaiga at his hip.

The Kikyo woman drops down from where she was standing and slowly walks towards me and my mate. I let lose a loud growl, threatening her with all my being. She pauses out of fear or what, I’m unsure but all I know is that she stopped for just a moment. That moment is all that I need to keep her away from my mate. My hand presses against Rin’s pressure point and I almost wince as my mate goes into the world of the unconscious.

Lifting my mate back up I turn my back to the Kikyo woman and walk my mate back to my son. I know that when she awakes all will be over, and she will no longer be under the control of Naraku.

~End Chapter~

Wow…. That took sometime. But never fail! The next chapter is underway. Hopefully you all liked that little peak into Sesshy’s mind, and the S/R get together. I’m thinking of almost starting a sequel of sorts of how those two got together. So it would be separate but not, you know? It would be after this of course… cause guess what, we only have two more fights to go then the birth of Tama’s daughter (don’t think I’ve forgotten about her) and that will probably all be in the epilogue. Possibly. *shifty eyes* So anyway, yes. Please review. PLEASE! Until next time, which will be on Monday, and if you’re really nice Sunday night because I have already completed the next chapter. *big grin*
