Chapter 10:

"Mmmph," Rin groaned as her lover slammed deep into her holding her hips in place. He panted he continued pounding into her wet and welcoming sex. The walls of her pussy squeezed around him sporadically which alerted him that she would finish soon. His nimble fingers began to rub her clit quickly to match the pace of his hips. Moisture had seeped from her penetrated core making her tiny button slick and ready for his teasing.

"Ah...nnnngh," her moans continued. Liquid heat coiled in his belly and threatened to boil and take over his entire being. He wanted to take care of her first, so he needed to hold on a few moments more. He slowed his thrusts but continued the fast pace of his fondling.

Her inner walls spasmed, and her panting quickened.

"I'm coming!" she exclaimed as she clawed the satin sheets below her. He growled and pushed into her using the hand on her hip to pull her into him. The flesh of her toned buttocks bounced with every snap of his hips. The warmth of his body reached its peak and exploded. With a few more thrusts, he emptied his seed into Rin. When he was done, she collapsed on the bed. He pulled out and joined her laying down.

"So what do you think of doggy style?" he asked her.

Flipping herself onto her back, her playful brown eyes met his warm honey eyes. "Ok I guess," she said in a casual tone.

"Hm, maybe we need to practice more," he replied. Playfully, he squeezed her thigh.

"I'd like that." She giggled and rested her head on his smooth chest. Absentmindedly, she twirled his silver locks around her finger.

Happy carefree moments like this were few and far between lately. Two weeks had passed since the incident, and the police didn't have any leads on who trashed Rin's apartment or why. With no DNA evidence and distorted security camera footage, they had no idea who was responsible.

Consequently, her stay with Sesshomaru had turned into her living with him, which Kaede was not happy about. She did not think it proper for Rin to stay with him since they were not married. However, Sesshomaru pointed out that his complex was much more secure than her house in the suburbs, and the last thing they needed was for the culprit to target Kaede's home. Reluctantly, Kaede tolerated their arrangement but insisted they stay in separate bedrooms. Rin, not wanting to upset her guardian, agreed. Of course, she didn't make it one night without crawling into bed with Sesshomaru. First, he was so sensual and irresistible. Secondly, she was scared to sleep alone, fearing that the culprit would find her and kill her.

Both were on edge from the incident. While he hadn't vocally voiced his concerns, Sesshomaru feared for her safety. At all times, he made sure she was with someone trusted. When home, he was always present. At work, she was with her team or working in Sesshomaru's office. Going out with friends was also out of the question. Anything could happen to her out in public. She could easily be taken without anyone noticing. Instead, they came to her at the condo. Suki and Kanna had visited a few times along with Rin and Sesshomaru's family which helped. His strict protocol was a little annoying, but Rin followed it knowing he only wanted to protect her. It also wasn't a bad idea because she instantly felt safer with only trusted friends and family around.

The longer the police went without a lead, the less likely they would catch the criminal, making Rin and Sesshomaru stressed.

"Were they able to clean up the security camera footage?" she inquired.

Uncharacteristically, he sighed. "No my love. I spoke with my lawyers about either Tensugia or Tetsuiga looking at the videos, and we are allowed with the police chief's consent, which I've gotten. However, we are only allowed to do so after their cybersecurity division has finished with it, and we can only have access to the tape at the police station." He was irritated with the long wait, but he was also doubtful that they would find something. If their tech guys, half of which were hackers taking a plea deal, weren't able to crack it, he wasn't sure about their odds. Not to mention, video manipulation was not his forte.

Rubbing his chest soothingly, she tried to be optimistic. "Maybe it's a hardware issue that they couldn't see. I'm sure that you and Inuyasha will figure it out."

He stroked the skin of her back reveling in its soft texture. "We'll see. If we can't find anything, the police might involve the Public Security Intelligence Agency."

"There has to be something to find. It's only a matter of time before we figure it out." Rin beamed at him. Even though she had her home destroyed and was living under the constant surveillance of him and trusted friends and family, she was happy. The corners of his lips tugged upwards. He needed to be strong, but he also needed to comfort and support Rin.

"I know I -" he cut short by the phone ringing. He grabbed the offensive item from his bedside table and picked it up.

"This better be important Koga," he nearly growled.

"What's got your panties in a bunch?" the police chief teased. This time Sesshomaru growled. "Anyways, I just called to let you know that you and that idiot brother of yours are free to look at the tape."

"We'll be there tomorrow morning."

Inuyasha slammed the door of the office loudly. He took the open seat next to his brother.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked flatly as he typed on the computer as he examined the security camera footage. Something was making the image blurry and blotchy.

"When you said first thing in the morning, I didn't think you meant 6 AM," he huffed and continued, "on a Saturday." The younger Taisho sulked and fidgeted with the pen in his hand, clearly frustrated.

"Time is of the essence," Sesshomaru replied in an unaffected tone. Irritated with his lack of progress, he removed the flash drive and handed it to Inuyasha.

"The all knowing Sesshomaru couldn't crack it," he said mockingly as he took the object.

"I suspect that there's a hardware issue, and that is not my expertise," he replied, crossing his arms and ignoring the jab.

Golden eyes scanned the USB drive meticulously. He took out a small black leather case and his laptop. With his laptop booted up, he pulled out a thick blue wire and connected one end to the computer and gently set the end with a lens inside the drive.

Glancing between the monitor and the tiny device, his lips curled into a toothy smile and chuckled. "I can't believe you nor those boneheads in IT couldn't find this little bug."

Immediately, Sesshomaru turned his head to the monitor and could clearly see the offensive red chip lodged within the motherboard of the flash drive. Inuyasha adjusted the micro camera and retrieved a pair of tiny tweezers. He exhaled calmly and steadied his hand. With gentle movements, he efficiently dislodged the bug.

Holding it up triumphantly, he flashed his brother a victorious grin who ignored it.

"The drive," Sesshomaru ordered with an open hand. Grumbling about an ungrateful prick, he removed the wire from the drive and unceremoniously plopped the drive in the waiting pale hand.

Sesshomaru plugged it into his computer and waited for the footage to load. As expected there was an encryption and firewall which had been triggered with the removal of the bug. As he typed away and bypassed the security measures, he told Inuyasha to get the police chief.

Moments later, the police chief and his top detectives were gathered in the room crowded around Sesshomaru's computer watching the now clean video. They watched a black hooded figure jimmy the lock on Rin's door. With a few clicks, Sesshomaru zoomed in on the figure and nearly growled when he recognized the gold necklace around the figure's neck.

Instantly, Inuyasha noticed his brother's change in demeanor. As discreetly as he could, he nudged his brother. Narrowed honey eyes flashed at him defiantly.

"You know who it is," the younger Taisho stated quietly.

Nodding, Sesshomaru paused the video. "I know the woman in the video." The police turned to him with stern looks. "It's Kagura Hino," the silver haired CEO revealed.

Koga, the police chief, smirked. "Perfect. We'll have her in handcuffs within the hour."

True to his word, the police had easily found Kagura at her law firm and arrested her. Sesshomaru had requested to speak with her, and Koga allowed it on the condition that he and Inuyasha watched on the other side of the interrogation room.

Kagura was waiting in the room, slumped in her seat looking down at the table. Her hair was frazzled and her clothes were rumpled.

The door creaked open and Sesshomaru stalked forward to the table. She straightened up and gasped upon seeing him. She hadn't been expecting him. Good.

He did not sit. He stood and surveyed her, waiting to see if she would say anything. Her red eyes looked anywhere but him, trying to escape his imploring gaze.

Seeing as she wouldn't talk, he slammed his hands on the table, startling her.

"I told you to stay away from her," he snarled.

"What are you talking about?" Kagura replied. She challenged his gaze. "I didn't do anything."

Slowly he circled the table, prowling around her. A humorless laugh escaped his lips. "I have video evidence of you breaking and entering Rin's apartment last Friday night, so don't lie to me."

Her frustrated look became puzzled. "I didn't do it." Stopping his movements, he turned to her.

"You're a good lawyer Kagura, so you know how this works. Confess and you can work out a good plea deal with the police." Her red eyes widened, then narrowed.

"I won't confess to a crime I didn't commit." She turned her nose up at him and sniffed. "Besides, how can you prove that I'm the one in the video? Not to mention, I was working in my office Friday night, so there's no way I could be in two places at once."

He was still angry and didn't believe her. "The person in the video wore a gold necklace with a ruby, the same necklace I had custom made for you five years ago. How do you explain that?"

Her perfectly manicured fingers curled around the chains binding her. Her aggressive aura became serious, almost sad. Now it made perfect sense to her.

"Sesshomaru, I promise that I didn't do it." She bit her lip and pleaded sincerely, "let me prove it to you. Check with my office's security, and they can give you proof that I was working."

"And what about the necklace?" he implored.

Sighing, Kagura smiled sadly. "Someone took it from me. I don't have the proof right now, but I know who did it." Her smile became a frown. "That bastard Naraku set me up. He's been after you for years, and he's trying to pin it on me and distract you while he gets what he really wants."

His body became stiff. The mention of his vicious competitor made his blood boil. He and Naraku had crossed paths throughout life, each time was a more terrible experience than the last. Kagura could be slippery, and he was sure that she was somehow involved, but he'd play nice and get her to reveal Naraku's plans.

If he could take down that asshole once and for all, he would do it.

"You get to stay out of jail as long as you tell me and provide evidence as to how he is responsible."

Licking her red lips, she smirked. "Perfect." She wasn't thrilled about working with Sesshomaru, but if she could manage to get rid of Naraku, she would finally have her freedom. Now that was something worth fighting for.
