It infuriated him to no end that her clothes smelled like...that guy.

It would've been tolerable if it was a shirt or two, maybe a pair of pants. But no. Her whole damn wardrobe smelled of the bastard. If his keen nose wasn't telling him otherwise, he would've thought she was sleeping with him. But the bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen were all devoid of his scent.

Just the living room and her closet.

Apparently he'd been coming over every damn day.

Instinctively Sesshomaru rubbed a brusque shoulder across the clothes as they hung in the closet, invisibly tagging her clothes with the warning "Stay the hell away. MINE."

When he was done there, he walked back to the living room and threw himself on the couch, rolling over and over and over, covering it with his scent once more. She walked in while he was in the process of rubbing his face across one of the back cushions, and he froze comically, plastered against the back of the couch like a cat caught in the middle of playing with cat-nip.

"What on earth are you doing, Sesshomaru?" Rin raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms across her chest.

Sesshomaru's eyes shifted back and forth between Rin, and the couch cushion he was practically a part of. "Marking territory." He admitted, almost guiltily.

Rins lips quivered as she suppressed a laugh. "Really now?"

He leapt from the couch. "Well?! I was gone for a week, and I come back, and the living room stinks of him, and so do your clothes!" Sesshomaru defended himself.

Rin laughed heartily now, "Sesshomaru, oh Sesshomaru." She straightened the collar of his dress shirt. "Kagome is my friend. InuYasha comes with her to visit. That's not so bad, is it?"

Sesshomaru mumbled something under his breath. Rin leaned forward, "What?" He avoided her gaze. "Sesshomaru." She flattened her body against his, fluttering her eyelashes before whispering huskily. "Please tell me?"

A muscle in his jaw twitched as his resolve started to melt. "It's not fair that he got to spend time with you." He muttered, just loud enough for her to hear.

Rin grinned widely before throwing her arms around his neck. "I love you too Sesshomaru."

"Hn."

There. A one-shot. Never thought I was capable 'til now XD

I'm thinking I might extend this though, and post another chapter with the, err, more explicit ideas in my head. Hope you liked it! ^_^
