Hey it is I returning to the fan fiction scene with a new story. I normally write Harry Potter but I figured hey why not try Inuyasha for once. It may be my own mind thinking I could pull it off but hey I'll let you reviewers decide instead. Well enough of my endless typing and on with the story…. Should be a fairly short story maybe 4 or 5 chapters.

Bra4goten 

This is AU, so I want to clarify that with you guys.

Disclaimers: I do not own Inuyasha, only a Sesshomaru figure and the only way you'll get that is when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Sesshomaru and Rin have been together for two and half years. After a chance pregnancy leaves her second guessing his love for her she leaves him. Will he be able to convince her before it's too late? S/R, I/Ka, M/S pairings.

I Thought You Knew- Chapter 1

Kagome looked up from the pamphlet as she waited for Rin to respond. Sure the café was loud, but she was quite certain the woman heard her. Frowning she leaned back into the booth, watching her worriedly. Something was off she knew it. No she felt it and whatever it was it seemed to have Rin's undivided attention.

"Okay, spill it." She finally said.

Rin didn't answer her at first, choosing to study her water glass instead. Hearing Kagome sigh, Rin finally looked up and she felt the tears coming. However she refused to let them fall. She allowed herself to cry enough this morning once she came to her decision. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath before forcing them open again to glance at her friend.

Kagome knew that something was wrong, and there was no mistaken the watery glaze she caught in Rin's eyes before they closed.

"Rin, I know something is wrong. We're friends right? So talk to me."

Giving a small smile, Rin took a hold of the other girl's hand and sighed as her eyes threatened to water again. Slowly she let her gaze fall on the pamphlets before returning to rest on Kagome.

"Of course we're friends Kagome. You, Sango and I are the best of friends." She said then her eyes shot open wider. She didn't take into account what her decision would do to their friendship and with a look of fear she grasped Kagome's hand tighter.

"We'll stay friends no matter what, right Kags?

Kagome's heart lurched at the pleading look her friend shot her. She sounded so sad and helpless. What on earth had Rin so scared of losing her and Sango's friendship? Then she remembered how Rin looked at the pamphlets and wondered if it was about the trip.

"Rin, is this about the trip to Hawaii? We can change locations if you want its no big deal to us, at least not in a way that would determine friendships." She smiled.

"Its more than the trip Kags, the location is perfect by the way and I'm sure you all will have fun soaking up all that sun."

Letting go of Kagome's hand she reached for her glass of water. Judging by the look of confusion Kagome was giving her she needed a drink to wet her throat. She was about to do a lot of explaining.

Her brown eyes studied Rin as she sat across from her. Okay if she wasn't confused before she damn sure was now.

"What was that supposed to mean? You don't plan of having fun." She asked.

"I'm not going." was her reply.

It took Kagome a minute to respond as she continued to stare at Rin.

"Not going?" she finally said breaking the silence.

"But, Inuyasha told me last night that Sesshomaru cleared the schedule and everything was set. Did something happen?"

Sighing Rin nodded her head. "You could say that"

"Well everything is set to leave next week, but we can push back if we have to." Kagome assured her with a wave of her hand.

"This has been a tradition of ours for two years now. Nothing will stop us from our couples retreat. So if we have to postpone a week or two, we can."

Rin knew she should stop her from rambling but she didn't know how to break the news to her. She was just going to have to come out and say it. Like she had rehearsed this morning. After all telling Kagome wasn't half as hard as telling him was going to be.

"It's not a scheduling conflict Kagome more like a status problem. This is a couple's trip and after this morning I no longer fit that status."

"Okay, now I have a headache Rin. You're not making any sense. What the hell is going on?"

She didn't know if the look Kagome gave her was the straw that broke her reserve or the events of this morning finally catching up with her that did it, but she broke down in a fit of tears. Kagome was by her side in an instant and she clung to her as the full impact of her actions took her over.

Kagome was waiting for Rin to tell her what happened and didn't expect her to breakdown, so when she did Kagome jumped over wrapping her arms around her.

"Rin, what happened?" she asked rubbing small circles on her back.

"I'm leaving Sesshomaru" Rin said crying.

Rin leaned back into the booth when Kagome's arms fell slowly to her side.

"Wh…" What?" Kagome managed to whisper. Her eyes were wide, staring at Rin as if she had never laid eyes on her before.

"Rin, why? I thought everything was going great. I mean you love him and Sesshomaru loves…"

"Nothing or no one but his company." Rin sighed.

"Rin you know that's not true. What started all of this? Did he say he didn't love you?" Kagome asked frowning.

No. There was no way Sesshomaru would have said that Kagome decided. It was obvious to everyone that he felt deeply for Rin. Why was Rin so uncertain of his feelings?

"Kagome, you and I both know that Sesshomaru is a man of little words. I thought that over time he would open up more, but after two years I'm not so sure"

"Rin, you know that they have their reasons, just look at me and Inuyasha. We started off rocky with everything concerning Kikyo." Kagome tried to reason.

"Yeah, but at least you knew he could feel. I would take another woman into the equation if it meant that I had proof he does feel something."

"Rin, it wasn't as simple as that and you know it. Those were hard times for us and it took a lot for us to get where we are today." Kagome frowned as she twisted her wedding band.

"You and Sesshomaru have always known where you stand, he cares for you Rin." Kagome told her.

"Cares for me I know, but I don't know if caring is enough for me anymore. I can't love for the both of us Kags. Add the fact that I may be pregnant by a man who may be settling does not sit right in my heart"

There she said it, finally confessed what had her analyzing her relationship with Sesshomaru. Two days ago, she realized she was late. If that wasn't enough lately she didn't have the energy for much. She was tired all the time. Exhausted, really. Plagued by bouts of nausea, she wanted to dismiss it as stress; planning the trip and making the move into Sess's penthouse had been grueling. However she was no fool, it was a possibility she had to consider.

"You think you're pregnant?" Kagome gasped.

"Yes, think… but I haven't confirmed it yet." Rin explained.

"Wait a minute, if you think your going to have a baby then why are you leaving him Rin? Sure he is a little antsy about humans and demons but look at how far he's come."

"That's all due to you I might add." She smiled.

"I'm sure he didn't take it so badly when you told him. He may have been a little shocked but heck I was too. He didn't act rash did he?" Kagome asked.

When Rin didn't reply Kagome's hands went to her mouth.

"Oh, no he did… didn't he, that's why you're leaving him. Rin what did he say?" Kagome demanded.

"He doesn't know Kags."

Whoa, wait a minute. You didn't tell him that you might be carrying his pup. Explain Rin?"

Rin blinked… How could she explain her feelings? Last night she tried to tell him when he came home but one thing led to another and they ended up going to bed. After he had fallen asleep she laid there thinking about their relationship. Just last month she moved into his house. It was something any couple did eventually but they had been together for over two years already. Why did they take so long?

It was that question that got her thinking about her importance in Sesshomaru's life. Would a baby force him to commit more than he desired? Rin was no fool, she knew he believed in honor and he would not leave her.

That's where the problem lied. She wanted him to want her completely. She needed him to love her like she loved him. Caring for her was not enough. And she decided that if they remained together like this, the want would slowly consume her till her heart broke. And if she really was pregnant with his pup then she would never know his true reason for staying with her.

"So, you're just going to run away without telling him. Rin that's cruel." Kagome sighed.

Rin glared.

"Kagome this isn't high school. Give me some credit here. I have no intentions of running away and hiding from him. But I refuse to stay with him if he feels obligated. After two and a half years, we should be more than boyfriend and girlfriend for crying out loud."

She banged her fist on the table in a fit of rage.

Kagome closed her mouth in surprise and Rin took it as a sign to continue.

"Do you know how hard this is for me Kags; I love him more than anything. The thought of being without him alone scares me to death. On the other hand I don't want to doubt whether he loves me or not." She added.

Rin was surprised when Kagome's hands lifted hers in a squeeze. She gripped the other woman's hand.

"Rin, I know you don't see it but Sess loves you. How can you doubt that?

"With his personality and actions how can I not?" was her answer.

Rin sighed, as Kagome shook her head.

"Look, I didn't expect you to understand Kags, but I have already decided and leaving is best…"

"For all of us…" she added.

Wiping her eyes to dry them, Rin left out a breath to calm her nerves though it did little to help. Letting go of Kagome's hand with her other one she reached for her jacket. She needed to get out of here before she foolishly changed her mind. She loved him enough to not seal him to a life that he would eventually regret. Grabbing her jacket up she paused to glance at her friend one last time.

"It's already done Kagome. I moved my things out this morning. I'm back at my old place; at least some good came from me keeping it." She had to smile at the irony of Sesshomaru's suggestion of keeping the house.

"By tonight he will know I'm gone and he'll come looking for me. And when he does I'll tell him everything. Maybe after that he'll forgive me enough to be friends, baby or no baby." She whispered.

Kagome was trying to understand what happened here. How in the world did a simple lunch to go over travel plans turn into Rin crying, claiming to have left Sesshomaru. She couldn't figure it out. God she wished Sango was here but she had to work later than expected and didn't come. Together they could have thought of something to knock some sense into Rin.

However, Sango wasn't here so Kagome had to do this alone.

"Talk to him now Rin. He will explain and fix this. Don't be rash or if you like I'll speak to him, I'll tell him where to find you." Kagome began.

"You will not get involved Kags, this is between me and Sess and I'd like you to respect that. My decision stands…" she paused to wipe away her tears as she stood up.

"But Rin…" Kagome cried out, flying around the booth again to reach for her.

"I have to get out of here." Rin choked out.

She knew the tears were coming again and she didn't have the strength to face Kagome any longer. She wanted to go home and curl up in bed. Though she knew it wouldn't take away the pain, it would help her forget at least for a little while.

If Kagome heard her request she sure ignored it as she reached again grabbing Rin's arm to stop her from moving.

"Rin, don't…"

Rin jerked away from her as if she was burned. The room felt like it was spinning. Her emotions were waging a war inside her. She had to get out here and fast.

"Kagome, stop." She shouted and a few people turned to watch the two women standing in the aisle.

Once again Kagome made a move to reach for her but she stopped mid air upon noticing Rin's eyes struggling to keep the tears at bay.

"Not all of us can be like you and Inuyasha" she whispered before turning on her heel and rushing out the door.

Kagome paid no mind to the other costumers watching her as she stood in the middle of the café staring at the door. It wasn't until she felt her own tears hit her hand that she moved to get her purse. Throwing some money on the table she silently turned and walked out.

"Damn it, Miroku. We need that deal closed before we leave for Hawaii." Sesshomaru barked standing up.

"Keh, if the bastard doesn't sign we'll just go ahead with the merger. It's not like we need him to make it happen." Inuyasha sighed tossing a ball at Miroku.

"Even so, Inuyasha" Miroku said "It would be better in the long run to tie up ends so Naraku doesn't come back and cause problems."

"I say we try him again and if we don't hear from Naraku by closing tonight we go through with the merger." Miroku added before tossing the ball back at Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru nodded as he sat down on his desk.

"Miroku's right. One more try and then we'll proceed. I don't want any trouble once I'm in Australia with Rin."

Inuyasha smirked at Miroku.

"Think we should warn Rin about what she's getting herself into?" he asked.

Miroku laughed, "Sesshomaru Taisho settling down, who would have thought."

The man in question growled. He was quite tired of the idiots cutting at him. Every since he informed them of his plans they haven't let up. He still couldn't believe it himself; he was finally going to make it official with Rin and mate her. Granted he hadn't told her yet, but that was the surprise.

It was no secret that he distrusted humans and he was just as surprised as anyone when he fell for one. He remembered that night like it was yesterday. His idiotic half brother woke him up at three in the morning for a ride. Apparently the fool made a comment about his ex to Kagome resulting in her leaving him stranded after she took off in his car.

Under other circumstances he would have found it humorous but he was the one who had to drive clear across Tokyo to get the fool and his damn car and to make matters worse he got punched. He couldn't help but give a small smile as the memory flooded back.

Inuyasha charged back to the car cursing.

"She told me to get the hell out of here. Can you believe that? All I said was Kikyo would have let me pay for dinner and she storms out taking my car."

"Now, Rin's pissed at me and won't let me in to see her." He growled in frustration.

Sesshomaru sighed. Damn it all he wanted to do was go back home, crawl under the sheets and sleep. He did have to work in five hours. Growling himself, he gripped the steering wheel.

"That's it, I'm going home. Come back to my place and let her sleep on it. You can talk to her tomorrow." He said fighting the urge to yawn.

"Like hell I will, she'd going to talk to me tonight and give me my damn keys." Inuyasha snarled.

He held back the urge to punch his stupid brother and flung open his car door.

"Wait here, idiot…" he spat getting out.

Little did he know that that trip to the front door was going to change his life forever. He knocked two times before the door flew open and a fist connected with his eye. Getting hit was the last thing he expected and he stumbled back hearing some woman screeching.

"I told you to go home Inuyasha, You did enough to her already…"

When she stopped talking so suddenly, he growled glancing up with one eye to see a woman with long brown hair, opened mouthed and eyes wide with fear.

"I'm so sorry" she gasped rushing over to him. "I thought you were Inuyasha…" she explained.

"Well clearly you were mistaken human." Sesshomaru snarled getting up, carefully avoiding her offer to help.

"Sesshomaru" someone said behind the girl, "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Pleasure as always Kagome" he said. "I'm here thanks to your decision to rid my brother of his car." He told her.

He watched the girl's eyes water and quickly asked himself why he got involved. His damn eye hurt like hell and now he was about to listen to this damn girl cry.

"Inuyasha, is such a…" Kagome begin.

"A big idiot who loves you more than life itself" came a voice from behind him.

Sesshomaru turned to see his brother walk up to Kagome and kiss her.

"Oh, Inuyasha I'm so sorry," she cried hugging him.

"No, I am Kags. Forgive me?" he begged.

He was pissed when she nodded, before taking his hand and disappearing with his brother into the house. For this he could have stayed in bed and retained the function of both eyes. A cough brought his attention back to the woman standing there.

Turning he faced his attacker and growled. Such a small woman and yet she managed to inflict pain, and at the moment he wanted nothing more than to snap her neck but something in his mind dismissed the idea entirely and instead he turned to head back to the car.

"You can't drive like that." She said making him stop.

"I'll manage human." he said heading back toward his car.

His whole body stiffened when she placed her hand on his arm. This human had a lot of nerve touching him in such a personal manner. In any manner for that matter. He growled, letting her know to remove herself.

His eyebrow rose in annoyance when she failed to heed the warning. He glanced to her hand and back at her as a way to hint to her again. She offered a weak smile and sighed.

"I'm really sorry sir, please come inside and let me look at your eye." She pleaded.

Something in his mind was telling him to walk to the car and leave. Sesshomaru didn't even realize he accepted her offer until he was already standing in her kitchen as she fumbled in the freezer looking for something.

She motioned for him to follow her to the living room, and they both sat down on the couch when she looked at his eye wincing and she handed him so ice.

"I'm really sorry about the punch. Its just Inuyasha can be really annoying at times and to give me credit he hurt my friend." She said worriedly.

He grunted before turning to look at her. He was about to comment about his brother but found himself stunned by her face. In that moment he was quite positive he never seen anyone more beautiful.

He jumped up with quickness as soon as the thought entered his mind. There was no way a mere human would spark any interest from Sesshomaru Tashio. He knew it was time to leave. Inuyasha had his damn car now so nothing was keeping him here. He was full demon so his eye would be just fine.

"Please, don't leave." She cried when he stood up.

Her gaze followed his to her fist clenching his sweater and she blushed before letting go.

"Please," she whispered and he sat back down surprising both of them.

"So, its Sesshomaru isn't it?" she asked.

He nodded, "Yes. Sesshomaru Tashio" he replied against his better judgment.

"Well, I would like to start over. Name's Rin Somotou, pleasure to meet you Sesshomaru Taisho."

It was seven in the morning when they realized they spent all night talking. After a promise to meet for dinner that night they parted and the rest was history. Now two and half years later they were living together and he planned on marrying her during the couples retreat.

"Earth to Sesshomaru," Inuyasha yelled again causing Miroku to burst out laughing.

His attention snapped back to his brother and he growled at their laughing. Sesshomaru made his way around his desk searching for his cell phone.

Miroku smiled as he nodded to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha was asking you if you were that worried about your wedding night performance."

Sesshomaru threw a look at his brother, all thoughts of his phone lost.

Inuyasha tried not to laugh at his brother's face and Miroku wasn't helping matters.

"I'm sure me and Miroku here can give you some pointers. You know for Rin's sake of course." He snickered as Miroku stifled a laugh.

"I assure you Rin is quite satisfied in that department especially after last night." Sess smirked at the idiots.

"But since you guys brought it up, maybe you need some pointers." He questioned.

"I got that covered, thanks" Miroku blushed.

"You don't hear Kagome complaining bro." Inuyasha told him.

He smirked, yeah now it was his turn to rag on them.

Shrugging he looked away, "Says the man who comes in to work with a handprint on his face, and the idiot who listens to everything his wife says."

"Wait till your married" they grumbled in unison.

He laughed as he continued the search for his cell phone. Spotting it he grinned.

"Gentlemen, shall we call Naraku?" he asked.

Kagome stopped just outside the double doors. She hands were sweating as she debated whether or not to go in. Rin had asked her not to interfere, but could really stand by and watch her best friend destroy the best thing to happen to her.

Her thoughts quickly went to her brother in law. Sesshomaru had come along way since he met Rin. Kagome knew in her heart that he loved her. Sure he wasn't really one to show his emotions and he was cold, not to mention blunt, but it was just who he was. Rin softened that hard cold exterior he projected to those around him.

Kagome feared what would happen to him if he lost Rin; she knew the results would be devastating. That thought alone gave Kagome the courage to enter Taisho Inc. and with one last deep breath she entered the elevator praying Rin would forgive her.

Pressing the button, the lift jerked to life and Kagome leaned against the wall. She slowly twisted her wedding bands as Rin's last words resounded in her head.

"Not all of us can be like you and Inuyasha"

Sighing Kagome moved toward the door as it opened slowly. Stepping out she heard Rin's words again.

"Your right Rin, maybe people can't be as happy as Inuyasha and I. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't try."

Kagome smiled as she came to the front desk and spotted the secretary.

"Good afternoon Hitomi," she waved trying to appear like usual.

"Afternoon Mrs. Taisho." Hitomi said looking up.

"How many times must I ask you to call me Kagome? Mrs. Taisho sounds so formal." Kagome laughed

"Sorry, Kagome" Hitomi grinned. "You looking for Mr. Taisho?" she asked.

"Actually I wanted to speak to Sesshomaru" she said. "Is he in?"

"Yes, he is in the office along with the others."

Nodding, she headed for the door asking for one more prayer of forgiveness.

"How in the hell does a cell phone lose signal in mid ring?" Sesshomaru yelled.

As Kagome watched her brother in law close his cell phone, stride to the northernmost window in his office and push it open, then toss the thing into the air, she found herself thinking that maybe, just maybe this wasn't a good time to tell him his girlfriend just left him.

"Inuyasha, give me your phone" he barked.

"Forget it. Bastard you aren't throwing mine out the window too." He scoffed.

Then he looked at Miroku…

"I left mine in my office sorry." He said before he had the chance to ask.

Kagome stood by the door afraid to enter past it. None of them had even noticed her yet so she took a minute to decide how she should approach him. Running in there wasn't going to work. But then again how does one go about telling something their partner left them.

"No matter I'll use the office phone idiots." He growled reaching for the phone. "While I call Naraku back one of you have Hitomi order me a new phone then call Rin let her know not to call the other number."

When she heard him say her name Kagome burst into the office full of fear.

"Sesshomaru what did you do?" she cried hugging on to him.

To say he was surprised was an understatement. One minute he was reaching for the phone, the next his Brother's wife was clinging to him in tears.

"Kagome! What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha yelled pulling her off Sesshomaru. He didn't give a damn if it was his brother or not. His wife was not about to cling on another guy.

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her trying to calm her down.

"Love, what happened?" he asked clearly worried.

"Did something happen between you and Rin?" she asked turning away to face Sess.

"Is something wrong with Rin?" Sesshomaru yelled coming out of his daze. His heart beat rapidly in his chest.

"Sess, Rin moved out this morning she said she's leaving you" Kagome sniffed.

The world seemed to stop after he processed her words. Rin moved out? She was leaving him?

He fell against his desk in shock. His Rin was gone. His chest tightened and he wondered if this was what pain felt like. Fear consumed him, fear of a life without Rin. He was no fool, he knew enough to know survival without her was not an option. But why?

"She doesn't think you love her?" Kagome whispered.

It took a minute for him to realize he must have voiced the question out loud.

"Ridiculous?" he spat.

"She doesn't think I love her. What the hell, is that supposed to be a joke?" he roared.

Hurt and betrayal quickly turned to anger. He was pissed that she mocked his love for her. It served as a reminder that love was better left alone. Yet he fell in love with this human, only to have her question it.

He ignored them as they tried to stop him form leaving. The only thing on his mind as he hit the button for the lift was finding Rin and demanding her to stop all this foolishness.

To claim he didn't love her was preposterous. And he would make sure she knew just how preposterous it was indeed.

Well I'll let you guys tell me if you want more or not. Please be kind and review.
