I want to thank all the pretty people who supported my first story and have been waiting for this sequel. I apologize for the wait, and again for the delay the next chp will probably have, school is a bitch. I hope you all like it, we get a new character in this chp who is going to have a big influence on Sessy and Rin’s lives. Anyone who read True Companion already knows who. You don’t have to have read my previous story, but it might clear up a few things, especially in the first two chps.
Pretty short chp here, a small recap of my first story, only through Sessy’s POV. Read on, and Review! Remember reviews help me write!
Forever Mine
Sesshoumaru tensed as he heard Rin’s screams coming from the room above him. He scolded himself. He, the Lord of the Western Lands, couldn’t stand to hear a woman scream? That wasn’t completely true. He didn’t care t evt every woman, just his mate. He had heard her cries too many times and now his body tightened on own accord each time her airy shrieks touched his sensitive ears. His claws tapped impatiently on the arm of his chair. How much longer will this take?
Behind him he heard a soft tapping on the screen door. "Enter."
Jaken scurried into the room, head bowed in respect. "Sesshoumaru-sama, Saka wanted me to come down and inform you that Rin-sama is having difficulties."
Sesshoumaru’s golden glare fell harshly on the toad below him. "What kind of difficulties?"
"Her body is tiring and if she does not give birth very soon she will be too weak to. Saka may have to cut into her and remove the infant by hand. If that happens she would like you there to heal Rin-sama before she loses too much blood."
Sesshoumaru nodded his understanding and Jaken hurried out of the room. Sesshoumaru’s eyes passed over Tenseiga, which leaned against his chair. Slowly, he removed the blade from its sheath and held it up, letting the light from the fire before him dance over the shimmering metal edge.
Tenseiga. You are the cause of this. You compelled me to restore Rin and now she screams in pain. Twice you have given her life wrongfully stolen from her frail body. Her human body.
Another scream echoed through the castle walls and attacked his senses.
A hanyou. That is what he will be. A hanyou, a creature I hated and despised. A hanyou is pathetic, weakened by the human blood in him, but is that true? Rin is not weak, so her blood cannot weaken my son…our son.
More screams filled Sesshoumaru’s ears, each one weaker than the last. He replaced Tenseiga to its sheath and focused on the flickering flames consuming the helpless wood. Her screams started after he found her hanging above the fire, body covered in smoke, though even its strong smell could not hide the stench that filled her. That demon’s foul odor tainting her gentle, calming scent. Taking Rin wasn’t insult enough, that low-blooded demon marked her. Marked his Rin.
Sesshoumaru scolded himself again. He had no claim to Rin then, if he had, perhaps he would have known she was in danger or not left her that day. No, at that time Rin was just a human, a weak human, no matter his attachment to her. Still, claimed or not, Rin was under his protection, and he had allowed her to be tortured, raped, and murdered.
His gaze turned back to Tenseiga as he remembered how he had found Rin. You restored her life and body, but her mind was far even from my reach.
She had smiled, as if waking to realize everything had been a dream and she was now safe. He hadn’t wanted to make her see the nightmare, to know it was real. How could she accept such a truth? The terror filled her, stealing the innocence from her eyes and overpowering her scent.
He closed his eyes and breathed in the undeniable memory, a low growl leaving his throat. How he hated that scent. Terror. Pain and fear ripping Rin’s sweet essence into a maze of madness from which she couldn’t escape.
Another scream ripped Sesshoumaru from his thoughts. At least this time she wasn’t afraid, this time Rin would be well rewarded for her suffering. She had been very excited when he told her. He, of course, knew long before Rin herself would have found out; her scent had changed and hinted of the demon blood brewing in her body. She smiled for weeks after she found out, but still, her initial reaction had disturbed him.
She had said she could hardly believe it was real. Sesshoumaru listened carefully to her words. At times he wondered if Rin believed she was still living a dream, only she didn’t care to wake up. Her sense of reality had been destroyed by the endless nightmares that plagued her after the kidnapping. Her terrors caused her so much pain, pain that not even Tenseiga could heal, and that sometimes, Sesshoumaru was sure he added to.
She had been scared of him, at his very presence her body would tense up or shake uncontrollably. How could the young child that would run to him when frightened suddenly pale when he entered a room? How could his precious Rin scream in fear when her eyes looked into his own? Yet, she never truly saw him when she screamed. She saw the bastard who beat her, who took her for himself, filling her pristine body with his revolting one, taking not only her innocence but also her sanity.
A scream began to meet his ears but stopped prematurely. She was weakening. How much more could she take before her human body gave up on her? Inwardly a smile formed, though Sesshoumaru’s cold face betrayed nothing. She is far from giving up. Rin can take much more than this.
For weeks after they had come to the castle Sesshoumaru was unsure if her mind would ever heal. She would not speak of it and the one time he had asked, her physical reaction was so severe he dared not delve deeper. Perhaps that was what was most unnerving about her, the silence. She had always talked, if she had nothing to speak of then she talked about nothing; she just always talked. But she was so silent, so deathly silent, and if any noise did come from her it was either screams or sobs.
She was strong though, and she brought herself back. Her nightmares lessened her screams became laughter, smiles brightened her radiant face once again. She wanted to leave the castle. She wanted to face her terrors and overcome them. She wanted her life back. Most of all, she wanted Sesshoumaru back in her life, the way they had been.
He hadn’t realized his, want, for her until she had been taken from him, until he couldn’t restore her with a strike of a sword or simple word. He had been given a second chance to protect her, to take care of her. Even after they left the castle he didn’t understand why he wanted…needed that chance, not until he almost failed her again.
Sesshoumaru rested his head against the back of the chair, his eyes closed so he could remember the scene in its entirety. That debased human man had the audacity to touch Rin’s precious body, to cause her beloved scent to be tinged with fear once again. Sesshoumaru had thought with the offender’s death Rin would be all right, but when the wind failed to bring her essence to his senses he realized his mistake.
He had not expected to see her body floating below the smooth surface of the lake, and the sight disturbed him more than any other for he knew she had done it on her own. Had he waited one more second only Tenseiga would have been able to save her from the water’s grasp. Sesshoumaru struggled to understand why she would have done that to herself, to hold some small reason for her desire for death. Had she hated him so much that life was unbearable? He wanted to know. He needed to know.
Her answer was not what he anticipated. Rin a disgrace to him? He was responsible for her. He had failed to protect her. The fault was his and his alone, yet over and over she placed it solely on herself, finding every excuse to relieve him of the guilt. Surely she felt some anger to him, some hatred. She had relied on him to keep her safe and he failed, some part of her must have thought that. Sesshoumaru knew she could not feel fear when near him if she thought of him as perfect as she said. She needed to place the blame on him, some blame, and he directed and coaxed her until she did.
Still, despite the fact he wanted her to admit his guilt, it pained him to hear her say, "I hated you!" She had suffered so much, survived such agony, and in the end released all her hatred of him. She took the last of the disgrace that should have been his and convinced herself she was worthless. And one human man had destroyed all the strength she had gained during her time in the castle. How many times would she suffer in this way? How many times would he let her feel such torment? How many more times would his Rin have to weep?
His Rin. He wanted to end her pain. He wanted to hear her laugh again. But what surprised him the most was that he wanted her. He wanted her with him. He wanted her near him. To hear her speak of her torture, to finally understand what caused her to scream and cry, tore at his soul. His failure was so grievous, yet she did not want to blame him, she wanted to be with him, and he needed to have her by his side.
In that moment, the thought that she was human didn’t cross his mind. The idea that she could only bear him a hanyou wasn’t an issue. All he knew was he had to have her for his own, so that no one else could ever harm her again and she could understand how much he needed her.
At first she had been afraid, afraid of what being his mate entailed, but when she understood he would not force her into anything, she calmed. She improved much quicker and her smiles and laughter were more genuine. She was becoming happy again and, as time passed, more than just happy.
One night he smelled a very unfamiliar, though not unwelcome, change in her scent. She had become aroused, and the sensual smell, in turn, made him de hee her. But Rin could feel his emotions through his mark on her neck and it frightened her. He cursed himself. How foolish he had been to let her scent affect him and cause her discomfort. Yet, when she returned she was relaxed and fear did not linger in her scent.
Rin had once said the fates were mischievous, he was inclined to believe they were cruel. She was safe. She was healed. She was his. Why then did she have to suffer again? Why did it have to be so fierce not even Tenseiga could stop the pain? Why was he forced to fail her once more?
He hadn’t believed the miko who cursed her could not lift it, not till he heard it from the miko’s own mouth, but when he had finished with her Sesshoumaru found himself at an impasse. If he returned to Rin the only thing he could have done to help her was kill her and end the nightmare she was in, but how could he so quickly give up on his mate? He had promised never to harm her, but he also swore never to let her suffer.
Was this the weakness a human brought to him, this indecision? Why could he not just go and kill her and let her rest? Was that not the best choice? End her pain? No, he couldn’t just leave her, after everything she had been through he couldn’t just give up. He didn’t know what could help her or where to look, but he knew if he returned to her the only thing he could do was kill her, and Sesshoumaru couldn’t take Rin’s life.
He pulled himself from his thoughts and listened. There had been no screams for a few minutes, not even the quiet wail of an infant. Had the pup been born or was Rin still having trouble? As he waited a soft pounding on the floor increased only to stop outside his study. He turned as Jaken opened the door and bowed.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, Saka says you can come and see Rin-sama now."
"There were no complications?"
"No, Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin-sama was able to deliver on her own."
SessSesshoumaru got up and headed to the chambers he shared with Rin. The scent of blood grew exponentially as he approached the room, and he couldn’t help but wonder just how much Rin had lost during the birthing. Beyond the screen he could hear Saka ordering the servants to finish cleaning the floor.Slowly, Sesshoumaru drew aside the screen and the scent of Rin’s blood nearly overwhelmed his scenes. The floor near the bed was tinged red, while two servant hurried to wash up that which was still pooled beneath the sheets. Sesshoumaru’s eyes moved to the fragile form quietly sleeping on the bed. Rin’s face was the shade of fallen snow, her body shivered involuntarily and her breath was quick and short.
Saka looked up from her chair next to the bed, a smile on her face and a small bundle of cloth in her hands. She stood and met Sesshoumaru at the edge of the bed. "Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin-sama managed to give birth on her own, though it was worrisome near the end. She lost more blood than I would have liked, but if she remains in bed for a few days and lets her body rest, she should be all right."
"The pup?" Sesshoumaru looked into the bundle of cloth and saw a few wisps of black hair.
Saka’s smile brightened. "Doing very well." She moved back the cloth to expose the small infant below.
Now with an unobstructed view, Sesshoumaru could see white strands mixed into the coal black hair. Black-tipped white dog-ears rested atop the pup’s . S. Saka shook the tiny bundle slightly, waking the pup. Sesshoumaru was shocked to see one brown eye and one gold eye staring up at him.
Saka laughed quietly as Sesshoumaru continued to stare. "She is quite unique."
His gaze left the pup’s and turned to her, his face betraying none of the shock he felt. "She?"
"Yes, you have a daughter, Sesshoumaru-sama."
"What shall we name her?" Rin’s tired voice carried weakly to Sesshoumaru.
Both Saka and Sesshoumaru neared Rin, Saka handing the infant girl to her mother before backing out of the way. Sesshoumaru watched as Rin looked into her daughter’s mismatched eyes. "She is beautiful. I wasn’t expecting a girl, though." She looked up at him, a tired but worried expression lined her pale face. "Are you disappointed it is not a boy?"
Sesshoumaru placed his hand on Rin’s forehead and moved back some stray pieces of her black hair. He let his eyes pass from mother to daughter, taking note not only of their similarities, but also the apparent traits the girl received from him.
"No, both you and she are well. Nothing more is needed."
Rin smiled and rested her eyes a moment. "What shall her name be?"
"Saraku."
