This story might sound long at first, but it will pick up the pace soon. Just bare with me… Thank You… Now on with the story…

It was a beautiful day. Rin was finishing her last class in collage. As soon as the professor dismissed the class, she ran out. Rin was a girl who balanced a lot of things. Monday through Friday, she went to classes at the University of Tokyo, then if she did not have nursing clinical, she was working. She worked at Olive Garden, it was something she had to do for money to live on. Rin was always a busy person, but this was ridicules. She also has to find time to date the president of Inu Enterprises. His name was Sesshomaru. He was always busy too, but he only had one thing to take care of. Inu Enterprises was the biggest dog food and toy supplier in the world. They produced dog food, Toys and exercising equipment, they made anything for the house hold dog.

Rin looked up to Sesshomaru ever sence she was little. Rin, Kagome, Songo, Miroku, and InuYasha were all good friends sence they were in kindergarden. Sesshomaru is InuYashas half brother. So Rin always saw him, even in school. When Rin was a sophomore, Sesshomaru was a senior. When Rin would be made fun of, and picked on, he was always there to defend her.

At Rin and her friends graduation, he came up to her and confessed that he loved her, and one day wanted her to be his mate. That was six years ago. Rin was getting through collage first. She had stopped collage before, about two years ago because of her family problems. Rin mom died in a car accedent, and Rin had to take care of her grandparents. Her mom always took care of her grandparents, so now she had to see about getting them into a home so they could be safe, and Rin could finish her schooling and her own personal life. When Rin came back, she decided to take one year off of collage so she could save money up, and be able to live on her own. Rin's mom also supported her and everything that had came from her mom. (Cloths, school books, extra money, and a place to live.) Sesshomaru told her he would help her with anything, but she refused his help. Sesshomaru shrugged it off and let her do what ever she wanted. Sesshomaru admired everything that Rin was, her courage, her whit, and her pride. He loved her pride most of all, it always reminded of his own in some way.

After Rin ran out of her last class at collage, she got in her car and started to drive to her job. She was a little early, so she stopped by her friend Kagome's house. Kagome lived two blocks away from Rin's job.

Rin pulled into Kagome and InuYasha's condo. Kagome was sitting outside on her balcony holding their daughter Umi. Rin always thought that Umi looked a lot like her father, even the attitude. When Kagome noticed that Rin pulled into the drive, she put Umi down in her crib and ran down to see her friend that she has not seen in a while. When Kagome got to the door, she wiped it open and shocked Rin a little bit from the force of the door slamming into the wall of Kagome's house. Kagome was a little taken back from what Rin looked like. Yes she hasn't seen Rin in a month or so, but this girl in front of her did not look like the friend she knew so well. Rin looked like she lost some weight, her skin was as white as paper, and he looked like she hasn't slept in weeks. Just then she realized that she was staring, so Kagome put that aside for now and greeted her old friend.

"Rin! How are you doing?"

"Everything is great!" Rin said while she rolled her eyes. Just like Kagome, she thought.

Then Kagome invited her in, and both sat on the couch.

"Don't you have to work today?" Kagome asked still really excited that Rin was there.

Yah, but I don't have to be there until 3:00pm and it is only 2:30pm. Anyway I have been so busy, how are you, InuYasha and Umi doing? " Rin was acting really hyper, probably from Kagome's attitude.

" We are all fine. Umi is such a doll. I would bring her down, but I finally got her to go to sleep. She is so much like her father." Both girls laughed at that, and oh how right they were. "How are you and Sesshomaru doing?" Kagome was looking at her like she was trying to get the whole story.

Rin stopped laughing and looked down at her hands. "Everything is ok, I guess. If not seeing your one and only man you loved forever is ok, then yeah." Rin started to get a little bummed. Kagome noticed this has been going on for a while.

"Cheer up Rin, you will find time. Anyway, I know that Sesshomaru has plans for this Saturday, but you didn't heir that from me." Kagome said with a big smile on her face.

Rin looked at Kagome with a hopeful look in her eyes. " Oh really? How do you know that?"

" Oh, InuYasha told me that Sesshomaru has been really jumping down everyone's throats about everything. So when InuYasha talked to him two days ago about it, he said he just had a lot on his mind, and to leave him alone. Then yesterday InuYasha slapped two tickets to the ballet and reservations to a fancy restaurant on Sesshomaru's desk. All Sesshomaru said was Thank you, and went back to his work. The ballet is Giselle, and I can't remember where you reservation is for dinner, but I know it is very expensive and beautiful. You are going to love it."

"Kagome, you and InuYasha didn't have to do this. I have to work on Saturday; in fact I think that I am pulling two shifts, so I won't be able to go. Sorry…" Rin put her head down in her lap. She felt miserable! How can she not go to work and pay bills, but not go and spend time with her one true love? 'This is all so complicated!' Rin thought.

Kagome stud up and hovered above Rin, and started to yell at her."Rin! You cannot back out of this! It is only Wednesday, you are going to work so explain everything to your boss, and I am sure he will understand."

At this Rin felt like she was trapped. She hated that feeling, so without thinking she stud up and yelled franticly, "No! I know he will be really upset with me after I already volunteered to work, so I am sorry, but I can't. How could InuYasha go and do all of this without consulting me first?" Rin started to get a little light headed from the sudden rush of blood going to her face.

Kagome was taken back a little by the sudden movement and how loud Rin was. So Kagome calmed herself down and talked in her normal manner. "We wanted to surprise you Rin. You are never home, and you are always at work or school. How do you find time to sleep?" Kagome was really concerned for her long time friend.

Rin felt stupid. Why did she yell at Kagome? This is her long time friend and Rin did not do these kind of things to her friends. "I don't know, but I manage…" Rin looked at her watch, "Oh my gosh…! I have to go, I am suppose to be there in three min. I'll talk to you latter Kagome. See ya…" Rin ran.

Kagome fallowed Rin out to her car, and waved her off. Kagome thought to herself, 'What have you done to yourself Rin? You are so pail and thin… Wait till Sesshomaru sees you…' At that Kagome turned and went back into her condo to attend to a screaming Umi.

Later that night at Rin's work…

"Rin! Your order is up! Hurry up!" Yelled the cook very impatiently

"Coming!" As soon as Rin turned the corner with plates in her hand, she felt dizzy. She almost lost her footing, but recovered it quickly.

As soon as she got the rest of her orders, she took them out and noticed three new people at her table. Rin went to give the orders and took a deep breath before she went to her new table. When she got there, she was about to introduce herself when she noticed who they were. "Oh Hi Sesshomaru, InuYasha and Kagome… Where is Umi?"

"She is at Kagome's mom's house. Why?" InuYasha answered before Kagome could speak.

"Oh I just haven't seen her in a while, and I would really like to see her someday soon." Rin said with a small laugh. Rin's laugh caused something in her throat to make her cough. She didn't realize that her throat was that dry. Sesshomaru had Ice cold eyes, but everyone who really knew him saw the concern. He looked at Rin not believing his eyes. There stud his loving woman and yet she did not look the same. In fact she looked like she was sick. This pained him to see her in such a state.

"Are you ok Rin?" Sesshomaru had a cold voice, but Rin new that it is just the exterior.

"Yah, just a tickle in my throat." Rin said diverting her eyes. He looked at her sternly.

"What is wrong Rin? You can not fool me; you look like you are sick." This time he was showing compassion for her. In fact it scared him a little. In all the years of knowing her he never saw her sick.

"Now if I was sick, wouldn't you notice it in the way I smell?" She looked quizzically at him. Sesshomaru just nodded his agreement.

Rin was getting looks from the other customers. She decided to act like they were regular customers. "What could I get for you guys?"

"Rin, can you get Saturday off? Kagome told me that you are working a double shift." Sesshomaru couldn't wait until she calls him at night after work. He wanted to resolve this issue before he left the restaurant.

Rin looked nervously at Sesshomaru."Ummmmm… I haven't asked yet." She said with a cute grin, hopping that he won't make a scene. Not saying he would but, come on this is Sesshomaru we are talking about! He gets his way whenever he can.

"Yet! How did you know that I wanted you to be free Saturday?" Sesshomaru looked at Kagome with cold eyes.

"Yah, Kagome let it slip." Rin looked at Kagome with an 'I'm sorry' look.

"Well can you ask while we are here?" InuYasha was a little nervice. He never did tell Kagome that it would be double dates untill the ballet started.

Rin rolled her eyes… "Ok! Ok! I'll ask him, but let me get more tables taken care of before I get yelled at for not doing my job. Can you guys stay late?" She asked apologetically.

"We will stay until you give us an answer, and it better be yes Rin…" Sesshomaru looked down at the menu and smiled a slight smile. Sesshomaru new he could always get what he wanted just by being a little rough with her, but Rin never took it as being mean.

"Ok, give me about a half hour or so, and I will let you know. I will be right back with your drinks so you look like you're here to eat and not here just because of me." She saw everyone nod at this, then wiped around hard enough to make her dizziness come back tenfold. Rin only remembered the floor coming into view then passed out. When everyone noticed Rin starting to fall, Sesshomaru, with his demon speed, caught Rin before she hit the floor. Rins boss came out to see where she was, and noticed that Sesshomaru just caught her from falling.

Rin's boss approached the group. "Mr. Sesshomaru! I am so sorry that you had to do that. She will be fired for fainting on you and your friends."

Sesshomaru shot him a nasty cold glare. "This woman is Rin, and she is my Fiancé'. You will not fire her!" He continued to pick up Rin and headed for his car.

"I am so sorry! I did not mean any disrespect." The boss walked after Sesshomaru and just about groveling at his feet for forgiveness.

Sesshomaru looked back at Rin's boss, " I am taking her out of this place for a while. She will return to work when she feels better, and you will have a spot open for her if she decides to come back and work for you, right?" If Sesshomaru didn't have Rin in his arms, he would have ripped the boss man into little paces for putting HIS Rin in this situation. Didn't her Boss see how she looked? Didn't he see that she was pushing herself to much? The only thing that Sesshomaru thought was 'how could I let this happen to her'.

All that the boss man could do was nod vigorously while Sesshomaru stared at him.

Sesshomaru looked towards the door with Rin in his arms bridal stile and His brother and mate in tow. "Good!" Was all that Sesshomaru said as he walked out the door and to his car to drive Rin to the hospital. InuYasha and Kagome got to their car and drove to the hospital also, they were worried about their good friend.

So I hope you like this version better. I added more and fixed the spelling. Please let me know if you like it.
