A/N: The two pups names are Ichirou (First Born), Hajime (Beginnings). Ichirou is the first born and Hajime is the second born. This first chapter has slight lemon in it, not full. Rin and Sesshomaru have also been mated for 5 years.

Chapter 1

"Ichirou, stop tugging on your brother's ears, It is painful you know." Rin scolded her son as she scooped up Hajime while Sesshomaru picked up Ichirou. "You know Sesshomaru, these two will be like you and Inuyasha if you continue to let them do this."

Sesshomaru placed his pup in the crib as Rin did the same. He pulled her to him and silenced her worries with a kiss. "No worries Rin, they are just boys and they are playing. Nothing more." He stated as he tugged her from the pups room closing the door silently behind him. He pulled her to their room down the hall as he moved silently, moving her towards the bathroom where she had a hot bath waiting for her.

"You look stressed Rin, take some time to relax and let your stress find a new victim to attach to." He slowly untied her sash, letting the kimono fall to her feet. Sesshomaru kissed her on the forehead and lifted her, setting her in the tub for her to sit. He carefully picked up the sponge and squeezed her favorite gel onto it before trailing it along her body, beginning with her neck.

Rin leaned her head back as his hand traveled to her chest, the sponge circling her breasts softly. Rin moaned softly as his thumb brushed over a nipple before doing the same to the other one. Sesshomaru slid the sponge down one arm and back up to move to the other arm for the same treatment. Rin could feel her body slowly tense in anticipation of his next movements. He slowly moved the cloth down her stomach making sure to circle her belly button.

Sesshomaru nipped her earlobe gently as his hand slid between Rin's parted thighs, moving against her delicious heat. Rin moaned softly as her body moved in time with his hand, Sesshomaru dropped the cloth as his hand cupped her, sliding his middle finger deep within her body. Rin's hand grasped his wrist tightly as she moved her hips faster while his thumb caressed her clit gently.

Sesshomaru bit her earlobe harder as Rin cried out, her release bursting through her like a series of fireworks went off. Sesshomaru withdrew his hand and cupped water as he gently rinsed the rest of her body off. Standing, he dried his hands and leaned down to kiss the mark on her neck. "Enjoy the rest of your relaxation Rin. I will meet you in my Study when you are finished with your bath"

Sesshomaru shut the door behind him as Rin sank into the hot water. Things with Sesshomaru had taken a turn for the better in the last 5 years, he had worked hard to earn her trust back, he kept his word and never shared communications with Kagura, even went so far as to make the company transfer her to another country. If Rin had thought anything of his trips out of the country, she was laid to rest with them as he vowed to her any trips would involve her, as his father and Izayoi had promised to take the little ones for the duration of the trip.

She smiled as she trailed a fingertip along her mark, the mark he had given her 5 years ago when they had finally come to terms with starting over. She knew now that he had no reason to fear, she birthed two full demon heirs for Sesshomaru, they even had his elf like ears which they loved tugging were some differences even though they were twins.

Ichirou was the first born, his father's heir to everything. He had silver hair, amber eyes and matching stripes on his cheeks. He did not bear the same mark his father had on his forehead even though he shared a lot of other traits with Sesshomaru, namely his poison whip and immunity to toxins.

Hajime was the second born, not standing in title of heir yet loved by his parents no less than his brother. He has brown hair and deep brown eyes like his mother. He bears the crescent moon on his forehead and also shares his father's power for the poison claw, he however lacks the toxin immunity his brother and father possess. However Rin possessed a gift that Hajime inherited even though it lies dormant within him.

Hajime knew and understood that during the day, Ichirou would spend the time with their father, while he stayed with Rin. At night, they would spend time with both children and Sesshomaru would perform activities with Hajime, such as games and taking him for walks. Rin could not help but be amazed at how he adapted to family life so easily.

She stood and stepped from the tub, grabbing a towel and drying off she then pulled on her robe and tied it securely. She moved into the room and dropped the towel into the hamper before turning to get a pair of pajama pants and a matching camisole top that left her stomach exposed. She hung the robe up and pulled on a loose kimono that showed the camisole top which Sesshomaru would know immediately what she wore under it.

She left the room and found him in his study looking over scrolls, she stepped next to him before tracing his delicate ear with a fingertip making him purr as he leaned into her hand. Rin smiled, "Bored I see?" She asked as she glanced at the scrolls, some village was having an issue with another village wanting its spoils.

Sesshomaru growled as he tossed the scrolls away before grabbing her and pulling her onto his lap as he lifted her and sat her on his desk. "These people seem to make war out of everything that occurs, I swear they are little better than an ill schooled brat" He laid his head on her lap as she ran her fingers through his hair, She reached over and grabbed a spare scroll before reading it through.

"Have you thought of an alternative my Lord? Why not a competition that pits them on the same side, maybe then they would see they are not so different after all. Surely there must be something you could come up with to make them side together." He lifted his head as his gaze met hers, he saw her eyes darken.

He slid open her kimono and growled, she wore no bra and no matching panties and she was traveling through the mansion where any guard could see her. He smirked, then again, maybe he should reward her for her suggestion. Sesshomaru's hands pulled Rin closer as his lips caught hers. "You are in for it now Rin." He growled out playfully.

A/N: I end it here for now, because Rin's reward for her suggestion will be in the start of chapter 2 followed by the planning of said competition, where all will be revealed, including the secret that lies behind these two villages spite and animosity.
