Chapter 29 - Merry Christmas

Recap:

Rin's POV

I moved to sit up, and Sesshomaru stopped me, again.  I looked at him, and then he slowly helped me sit up.  I spoke to him in our little way again.  “I need a back rest.”  I gave him a look and he moved onto the bed, sat behind me, and I leaned back on him.  He kept his arms gently around me, careful not to hit the wound.  His father seemed to ease up some at that. 

“I apologize.”  I said to Inu-taishu, “that was rude and wrong to say, I just don’t like it when people stare at me okay.  Besides if you wanted me dead, something tells me you wouldn’t get very far, even if you tried.”  I could feel the rumble in Sesshomarus chest when he growled at his father.  I placed my hand over his.  “Calm down, Mr. cranky pants.”  He turned his attention to me, and sighed, calming himself.  His father continued to stare at us, and I was about to make another comment.

“You’re good for him.”  He motioned towards Sesshomaru, who looked back to his father.  I smiled and turned my head some to look at sesshomaru.  I kissed his check to get a low groan.  Hahahahahha.  His father noticed and grinned at us, and I laughed.   “If you’re a good boy, you get a treat.”

His father shook his head, and then turned and left the two of us in the room together.   

“Rin.”  It was a warning tone, lol I win.  I sighed and leaned my head back onto his shoulder, and turned my head towards his neck, I kissed his neck once, and closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of being in his arms.  Inu-taishu left I guess, I didn’t see him leave, but I no longer felt his presence in the room.  Sesshomaru brought my lips to meet his, and I felt sadness and joy behind this kiss.  He pulled away to whisper in my ear.  “Don’t you ever do something like that again.”  I just nodded my head and placed my hand to the back of his neck, as the other made patterns on his arm.  I brought his lips back to mine, and refused to release him.  Once we pulled away, I leaned into him more, and closed my eyes.  “I’m tired.”

“Rest.”  I did as he said, and fell asleep in his arms.

Rin’s POV

I woke up leaning against Sesshomaru, he had his eyes, closed, but I knew he wasn’t asleep, just relaxing.  I brought my hand up and started to trace his jawline, to feel him and then hear him start to make, almost like a purr sound.  I smiled and pecked his lips with my own once, and winced, when it hurt to move.  Sesshomaru’s eyes shot opened and looked at me, to check on me.  My hand went to my side, and I sat up.  Moving so that I could see the wound.  It was bandaged, it didn’t open or anything, that I could tell, but it did hurt.  “I’m okay.”

I just got a glare.  Kagome came in, and saw me awake.  She checked me, making sure that I was okay, and that there was no infection, then gave me a new bandage.  Sesshomaru stayed by my side the entire time.  I smiled at him, and he nodded his head at me.  Everything is perfect, sort of, other than the fact that I have people trying to kill me and Sesshomaru, and that I am injured.  Inuyasha came in with a bowl of soup for me to eat, and I took thanking him.  I ate in my room with Sesshomaru watching me, as if I would fall over and die right here in this very moment, I shook my head and smiled to myself.  While eating I thought of when I should tell them that I need their help, I so wanted to do this on my own, but it seems that, that is not the case, I need the help of my family.  I will talk to them about it tomorrow.  

Once I had finished my soup Inuyasha came and took the now empty bowl, I laid back down and Sesshomaru held me in his arms.  I don’t think that I will ever leave these arms, don’t get me wrong, I love being in his arms, but he hasn’t let me go ever, not once.  Okay that seems overly dramatic, but I am sticking with it.  I closed my eyes, just to focus on us, just him and me, laying down in my bed.  I hadn’t realized that I had fallen asleep.  I sat up, and my side did not hurt as bad as it did before.  Sesshomaru wasn’t holding me.  I stopped breathing, there he was, he moved to a chair that was beside my bed.  His eyes were closed, and he looked as if he were asleep.  Wait is he really asleep right now.  I wonder.  I managed to stand up and then sit in his lap.  His arms wrapped around me on instinct.  I smiled at that, how cute.  I started poking his face, and in my best talking to a baby voice.  “Who is the cutest little doggy ever.”  I didn’t even get to finish what I was saying.

He grabbed my wrist, “Stop that, now.”  He opened his eyes to look at me, and they showed annoyance, love, affection, worry, anger, and lust.  I smiled at him.

“No way.”

“Rin.”  He used his warning tone again.

I crossed my arms across my chest, “Fine, alright you win.”  I was pouting like a child, I haven’t acted like this in years, I like it.

He lifted me up and placed me back on the bed.  “No, I am tired of being in bed.  Wait how long did I sleep for?”

“Almost two days.”

“Really?”

He nodded, and I shook my head, wow!

“Sesshomaru, could you please help me walk around, if I am in this bed any longer, my head will explode.”

He helped me stand, and we walked to the living room.  No one was here, it was just us, and I didn’t mind at all.  I like having alone time with him, although it would be more fun if I weren’t injured.  Oh well, life goes on.  Sesshomaru helped me sit down, while he went to get me some food.  I waited a while for him to come back, but after a few minutes I couldn’t take it anymore.  I stood slowly and walked to the wall, I used the wall for support, so that I wouldn’t fall.  I slowly walked around the house, just to walk, I needed to do something, walking around the house was the best bet.  If I walked outside Sesshomaru would be pissed, he will already most likely be upset with me just walking around the house.  I will be fine, I have had worse than this.  I was walking around the living room again when he returned.  He glared at me, and I glared back.

“I figured it would be best to walk around a little while a waited, and instead of going outside I decided to just walk in a circle around the living room.”

He nodded and then began to cook the few rabbits he had gotten me.  Rabbits were good, and he knew I liked them, but are they annoying to try to catch, although for him I am sure that it was a piece of cake.  I learned that saying from Kagome, or did I.  It is from her time period. 

I went and sat down next to him.  He wrapped his arm around me, and was careful not to hurt me.  I laid my head on his shoulder closing my eyes, relaxing and breathing in his scent that calmed me.  I could feel him relaxing as well, I still felt tired, but that is because I have been in bed for days, unable to move around.  I know that once I a healed completely I am sparring with someone, or I might lose my mind. 

“Sesshomaru?”

“Hn?”

“Once I am completely healed, I’m fighting someone before I lose my mind.”

I lifted my head to look at him.  He had a smirk on his face which caused me to let out a giggle. 

“I have missed that smile of yours.” 

I stopped smiling a giggling at his comment, only then to smile bigger.  I reached up and traced his jawline with my fingers, and then kissed him gently.  Pulling back I smiled at him and laid my head back down waiting for my food to be ready.  Why must it take so long for it to cook?  Oh well. 

All too soon there were little feet running towards my home, and soon running in side followed by her parents and grandparents.  Kit came running to me and I opened my arms for her.  “Careful with me now.”  I told her so that she wouldn’t harm me.  She made sure to slow down and be careful, she is such a good girl.  After our hug, I turned her around and she sat in my lap and started to poke Sesshomaru. 

We all watched and waited for Sesshomaru’s reaction.  Soon we got it.  He turned his head towards her and said “Boo.”  She hid in my arms and turned her head into my chest giggling.  Everyone had a smile on their face, I was enjoying this time with the people that I call my family.  They may not be family by blood, but they are the people that care for me, and I care for them, so they are my family.
