Rin was an eighteen year old hanyou she had long layered dark hair that reached down to the middle of her back, her frigid bangs outlined her heart shaped face perfectly. She had the largest doe eyes with the most admirably thick lashes and her iris's were colored a pale blue; her skin was fair with the current exception of her tinted pink cheeks as she stood peering over to her friend Kagome's swollen belly.

"I didn't know you and Inuyasha were trying to have a baby" Rin stated shocked as her friend rubbed her hand over her newly showing baby bump.

"Yeah, well it tends to work that way... Soon after courting you are to start trying for pups" Kagome said with a cheeky smile.

"Weren't you two married.. Or erm, courted a year ago?" Rin questioned as Kagome nodded.

"I sort of went against councils wishes and was put on birth control. I had to at least graduate from high school" Kagome said in a hushed voice.

"Well, thanks for taking me to school today" Rin said graciously her voice was soft and almost melodic as she buckled into her seat. And they drove off in the direction of the high school.

"No problem, Inuyasha was having his brother over today for some sort of family business and he is a real pain in the ass without my heightened hormones. I couldn't even imagine being around him in my current situation!" Kagome yelped jokingly. Rin had only met Inuyasha once or twice but she had never heard anything of his brother.

"Well, thats a bummer" Rin said sighing lightly and biting her lip softly brushing her fingers lightly through her long black hair avoiding contact with the small black perky white tipped dog ears perched on the top of her head as she looked onto her lap at her schedule.

"Yeah, I'll get threw it though" Kagome replied knowingly "How about you Rin? Aren't you the least bit excited for the your last year in school?" Kagome questioned cheerfully.

"I guess..." Rin replied dully

"You guess?" Kagome said shooting her an angered look "What about that boy who likes you? Don't you like him? You at least have to be excited about seeing him!" Kagome urged

"I don't like Momiji, Kagome. He likes me, and he is extremely obnoxious. I have told him countless times I only view him as a friend." Rin stated sighing heavily as they pulled up to the school and she exited the car.

"Well at least try and have a nice day! I'll come pick you up after school and maybe we can hangout!" Kagome yelled before Rin nodded and slammed her door shut.

A nice day. Rin laughed at the thought. She had rarely had nice days. As she entered the school building there was much fuss over a new student who was to be attending school that day. It was uncommon for new students to arrive, so Rin joined in with a group of her friends discussing the matter at hand.

"A new student?" Rin said as Naomi whipped her head around towards her friend.

"Yes! So you've heard to!?" Naomi said swooning

"I haven't really heard much of anything, just that there is a new student" Rin informed her. Momiji rolled his eyes arrogantly.

"There is a new male youkai student, he says he will be attending today because he has caught scent of his mate" Momiji said distastefully.

"Oh" Rin said fixing her tight clinging shirt from further revealing any skin. Rin was always a pessimistic person when it came to relationships and wished not to further talk about the subject.

"What do you mean oh?! This could be it Rin! One of us could be marked!" Naomi said hopefully. Naomi was the exact opposite when it came to the romantics, she had always wanted to be marked in the most beautiful and unsuspecting way. Nothing had been more important to her, than that.

"Yeah, I'm not so sure I'm so into that whole idea. The whole possessive dominance trip my kind goes through seems like a bit much for me" Rin said pulling her books from her locker. Rin had expected her to retort something quickly, but when she hadn't Rin turned around hurriedly to find out why.

"Umph!" Rin scoffed crashing against someone and dropping her books to the floor.

As Rin looked up, she was staring directly into a pair of flashing crimson orbs with a deep red lining along the top of the demons eyes. She quivered in fear for a moment, but couldn't take her eyes away from him.

He had long white hair with a silver sheen to it, much like Inuyasha's. It had looked so smooth she had just wanted to run her tiny delicate fingers through it. His bangs reached his eyebrows and parted directly in the middle showing off his blue crescent moon, as she moved her eyes down his face she noticed two more distinct markings on his porcelain cheeks. Two perfectly formed magenta strips and elvish ears.

He was around six foot four, which was well over a foot above herself. She traced his body down with her eyes examining him carefully and loved the way she could outline every detail of his body underneath his thin long sleeved shirt, the way his jeans hugged him in all the right places and the ruffles they made around his high top converse. As she stopped herself from a metaphorical drool, she noticed his Mokomoko that had been wrapping itself around her petite waist line.

"Who the.." Rin spoke softly her angelic voice soothing the mans mind and reassuring his next action, he brought his face closely into her hair and buried his face in her intoxicating scent.

"Sesshomaru" The man spoke in a monotone voice without any hesitation as he breathed heavily upon her neck. Everything was happening so fast her friend's hadn't known what to say.

Suddenly, a burning sensation filled her neck and caused her to wince in pain. Sesshomaru had nipped her neck roughly and then pulled himself away staring deeply into Rin's eyes.

"Did you just... Bite me?" Rin questioned.

"Just what do you think your doing mutt?!" Momiji shouted angerly his wolf demon tendencies shining through. Sesshomaru hadn't given her any sort of answers and by the emotionless expression plastered on his face he didn't plan on it.

"This is mine, stand back" Sesshomaru stated coldly as the wolf demon growled.

"You can't just mark someone without consent! She is not yours! I had her first!" Momiji argued as Rin began to feel faint.

"I do what I please" Sesshomaru thwarted back "Now step aside" He said lifting his hand and bearing his poison claws.

"Wait" Rin shouted finally finding the courage to speak for herself as both the dog and wolf glanced over to her. "I am not anyone's property not now, and not ever" Rin said as Sesshomaru took her hand.

"Do not say such things mate" Sesshomaru said warningly as he looked to her his eyes seemed like golden pools.

Rin tried tugging herself away from him but could not break free.

"Come with me, I shall accompany you to class" Sesshomaru stated as Rin felt inclined to follow him. She hadn't like the attitude she had been getting from him, but her attraction for him was almost instinctual.

"I will follow you, if you let me go" Rin said as Momiji's blood began to boil.

"Don't follow him! He's a creep!" Momiji shouted as Sesshomaru looked to him with penetrating fire red eyes.

"You must stay by my side" Sesshomaru insisted as Rin nodded

"Please Momiji, I can handle myself" Rin said as Naomi stood speechless. Why was Rin aways the one? She never even tried and I always try but I'm never the one... Naomi thought to herself sighing heavily.

Sesshomaru dropped Rin's hand and they began to head off.

"You can not handle yourself, that is why I am here" Sesshomaru assured her in the utmost cocky tone.

Rin looked over to him agitatedly and furrowed a brow at him.

"Oh how did I ever survive without you" Rin said sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Keh"

"Do not sound so sarcastic towards me Rin, I am your alpha" Sesshomaru said in all seriousness.

"How do you know my name" Rin said in a whisper winding as her face lost all color and vibrance and she began tumbling towards the ground.

When she came to she was being carried in strong arms, and held close to the warmth of a mans chest. Her memory was a bit blurry at first, but as soon as she looked up to see that it was Sesshomaru who was carrying her it all started flooding back.

"Nurse, please explain to Rin what is going on and exactly what is required of her" Sesshomaru said in a deep baritone voice. That was the most words she had heard him speak since she'd first encountered him.

"I'm fine, I know what's going on" Rin said as the nurse nodded to him, he set her down and left the room.

"I'm sorry dear. The council had not expected Sesshomaru to find you so quickly" The nurse said kindly holding a ice pack to Rin's newly marked neck.

Rin of course knew what was expected when it came to her native inu customs, but what she was unsure of was the lack of words Sesshomaru used and the manner in which he had marked her.

"Well, what am I to do?" Rin said with a sassy tone in an almost mocking manner.

"Are you telling me you actually do not know what to do girl? Or are you just being sarcastic?" The nurse questioned irritation in her voice.

Rin jumped off the table still feeling a little dizzy as she hit the floor.

"I was kidding" She replied placing the ice pack down and walking out of the room only to find Sesshomaru standing there patiently waiting for her.

"Are you ready for class?" Sesshomaru asked with a straight face. It seemed as though his expressions were never changing, he was always cold and emotionless.

"Not until you answer some questions for me" Rin said politely. She waited a moment before saying another word, in hopes he would agree or at least show some sort of interest but when he had failed to she continued speaking. "Why did you mark me without my consent? Without any warning at all?"

"I thought I told the nurse to answer your questions" Sesshomaru replied

"How is she to know why you marked me without a word?" Rin replied, not that she minded she just wanted to know.

"You wanted me to" Sesshomaru stated matter-o-fact ley

"I.." Rin began to say before her cheeks began to burn red, she couldn't really argue with him their if anyone were to mark her she didn't mind it being him. "W-Well, h-how do y-you know my n-name?" Rin stuttered turning her head away from him in embarrassment.

Sesshomaru began to move towards Rin, and she shut her eyes tightly in fear.

"This" Sesshomaru said simply flicking at the key chain of her name that was danging off the purse's strap she had been wearing across her chest.

"R-Right..." Rin said looking away from him

"Is that all?" Sesshomaru asked impatiently

Rin nodded, she decided to save the rest of her questions for later so she could at least be in her first class for twenty minutes.

"Come then" Sesshomaru said as they walked to her class together. Sesshomaru had not even shown her his schedule and was just following her from class to class. Rin was beginning to question if he had even really had to attend class at all. After their third class she couldn't bare not to ask him exactly what was going on.

"Sesshomaru?" Rin whispered quietly as he looked over to her. Everyone in the halls were gossiping about the newest 'coupling'. If you could even call them that. Rin thought.

"Yes" He responded

"Do you even have a schedule.. To go here?" Rin asked as he looked away from her.

"No. I do not need such a thing" Sesshomaru replied as they walked past a noisy group of youkai who were play fighting, one of them knocked into Rin and Sesshomaru immediately got defensive picking him up by the throat.

Rin's eyes widened the the sight of it.

"Watch were you step, vermin" Sesshomaru snarled baring his fangs to the demon.

"Sesshomaru, quit it. It was an accident" Rin defended the poor demon, who's eyes had looked like they were about to pop from his skull before Sesshomaru inconsiderately dropped him to the floor.

"Why do you defend such a lowly demon?" Sesshomaru questioned

"I am not defending him" Rin lied as Sesshomaru smelt it all over her

"Do not lie to me" Sesshomaru retorted

Rin hadn't said anything else to him for the rest of the hour. She hated that he could sense every thing she was feeling and she could not sense anything from him. He was harder to read than anyone she had ever come across before, youkai or mortal.

After third period they had lunch, and she was not looking forward to seeing how everything would pan out due to the current Momiji situation.

"Rin!" Naomi shouted waving her over, Sesshomaru still escorting her around.

As she began to speed walk ahead of him, he quickly grew infuriated and got in front of her. Stopping dead in his tracks, his eyes penetrating hers.

"W-What...?" Rin backed up slightly

"Do not walk ahead of me. I am accompanying you, not the other way around" Sesshomaru spoke huffing his chest.

"You can still accompany me, if your behind me" Rin assured him

"Change your tone" Sesshomaru responded as Rin huffed and bowed her head to him

"Fine, I will stay beside you"

As they walked over to the table where Naomi and Momiji had sat, Rin could already feel the tension rising.

"Great, you brought that stinky dog over here" Momiji said annoyed as Sesshomaru ignored the comment.

"Please don't" Rin said gesturing to her friend

"I just don't get it Rin. I have loved you and even declared my love for you more than one time yet you have now started seeing this.. This mutt" Momiji fussed a definite sound of pain was heard through his outburst

Rin thought to herself a moment. I am not seeing anyone, he must be mistaken.

"That is because she was not made for you" Sesshomaru began "She was made, for me"

Momiji stood to his feet pushing himself back from the lunch table and staring down into Sesshomaru's eyes.

"Anyone can do what you did" Momiji began roughly grabbing Rin's arm and pulling her towards him. Sesshomarus growl began deep in his chest and vibrated beneath their feet as Momiji sank his fangs into Rin's neck, close to where Sesshomarus mark had already been placed.

Rin pushed herself away from him as hard as she could and slapped him straight in the face.

"Don't you ever... Touch me again!" Rin shouted. Her neck felt as if it was burning from the inside out, she had never felt such an immense pain before. It was nothing like the pain she had felt earlier when Sesshomaru had marked her.

Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's hand and lead her out of the cafeteria and into the seemingly empty hallways. Rin held her other hand tightly on the burning wound.

"Move" Sesshomaru demanded as Rin looked up to him and removed her hand from it.

Sesshomaru gently moved her hair from her neck exposing the almost closed wound, he quickly lapped it with his tongue and a cooling sensation ran through it. Rin was re-leaved.

"Why..." Rin hesitated a moment, but decided to carry on "Did it hurt so badly when Momiji marked me?"

"He did not mark you" Sesshomaru stated pulling away from her slightly

"He didn't" Rin asked confused

"No" He said simply "I have already marked you, you are mine"

Rin's ear twitched a few times in irritation as she stared at him and he noticed this.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru questioned

"I do not belong to anyone" Rin stated as Sesshomaru then leaned in to her once more, nipping softly at her neck with his fangs. It caused her knees to weaken and her heart to flutter but she would not go back on her word. She still didn't belong to anyone.

As Sesshomaru pulled away he looked her straight in the face, as if studying her expressions.

"You belong to me" Sesshomaru insured her

"I do not belong to you, nor do I belong to anyone" Rin said becoming frustrated with him. How could he expect to own someone anyways? Not only that, they weren't even together! Rin thought to herself and scoffed at him.

"Do not say such foolish things" Sesshomaru growled as the bell began to ring and everyone began rushing back to their classes.

The rest of the day drug on slower then she would have liked and it couldn't have gotten over any sooner. She sighed heavily from time to time, hoping to strike some sort of conversation between her and Sesshomaru but she had no luck. That man was a stone. She thought to herself before the final bell let out and they were able to leave.

"I'm taking you home" Sesshomaru said as Rin looked over to him, he kept his gaze held straight ahead.

"Kagome is taking me home today, were going to hang out" Rin said noticing him flinch a little.

"Kagome" Sesshomaru said as they walked out into the front of the school and he sniffed her out right away. Along with his half sibling, Inuyasha.

"Yeah, you know her?" Rin asked asked Inuyasha jumped in front of them startling her a bit.

"What are you doing with Rin, Sesshomaru!? Don't you have business to take care of?!" Inuyasha shouted referring to their previous meeting that day. Inuyasha was dull when it came to relationships in general and must not have put the pieces from their earlier talk together fully yet.

"Step aside" Sesshomaru demanded as Kagome rushed over to them

"No way! No way!" Kagome began to squeal "Are you Sesshomaru's mate!?"

"Uh, sure I guess you could call me that" Rin said looking down her cheeks flustering

"You?!" Inuyasha said bluntly

"So it seems" Rin said kicking up dirt with her shoes

"Awe no!" Inuyasha growled

"Step aside" Sesshomaru demanded once again raising his claws and getting ready to attack as Inuyasha moved and dragged Kagome aside with him.

"So I guess we wont be hanging out today, huh?" Kagome asked a little disappointed as Sesshomaru started to walk on.

"Come" Sesshomaru said as Rin looked up too him and then back at Kagome silently wording 'call yah later' before following behind him.

They reached a black mustang and Sesshomaru held the door open for her. Rin got in and fastened her seatbelt, not knowing what kind of a driver he was yet and feeling a little nervous with him to begin with she didn't want to take any chances.

As Sesshomaru got in the car and started off, he hadn't said a word. Rin casually looked over at him from time to time hoping for him to say something, but again it never came.

"How did you know where I lived?" Rin questioned as they pulled up to her adoptive parents house.

"Not important" Sesshomaru said calmly as Rin sighed heavily. She had a feeling she was never going to get this guy to open up to her as he got out of his car and went around to hold the door open for her.

"Thanks" Rin said bubbly trying to get him to show her some sort of attention.

"Hm" Sesshomaru responded as he walked her up to her door

Thankfully her parents weren't home because Sesshomaru had just took it upon himself to come inside.

"Would you like to go in my room? I'm not so sure my parents will be so fond if they know you are here" Rin said sweetly trying to coax him upstairs.

"I will go where you go" Sesshomaru responded and followed her up to her bedroom. It was a little messy and cluttered from her interesting morning disaster after not being able to find the exact outfit she was looking for.

"Sorry my rooms kind of messy, I didn't expect to have company" Rin said blushing softly as she sat on her bed.

"Hm" Sesshomaru said scanning over everything in her room with his golden orbs.

"You don't talk much do you?" Rin asked as he turned to her

"No" Sesshomaru replied

"Well, that could cause problems" Rin said as Sesshomaru furrowed his eyebrows at her a bit.

"How?" He questioned sternly

"Well, I love to talk. I am always talking, laughing, playing, and smiling. So far you have yet to show me any emotions... I mean, I don't know if you've noticed but we don't have a whole lot in common. Maybe you marked the wrong girl?" Rin started explaining her thoughts to him and ended up asking it as a question.

"I do not make mistakes"

Rin sighed heavily at his response, she was hoping to at least get a sentence out of him with that one.

"Well, how am I suppose to follow through with this courting if I barely know you" Rin asked showing concern.

"Hm" Sesshomaru responded "I am taking you out tomorrow"

Rin had a huge grin on her face and all sorts of things running through her mind. Since Sesshomaru didn't earn any sort of acceptance from simple marking her as his property, she was glad he was going to make an effort to get to know her better.

"Oh! Where to Lord Sesshomaru?!" Rin shouted with glee as Sesshomaru began purring loudly. Sesshomaru was glad he had made his soon to be mate happy, but was also excited at the sound of her calling him her lord.

"It's a surprise" Sesshomaru responded as he sat beside her on her bed and his purring called to her inner instincts.

"I love surprises" Rin said meekly as she leaned into his chest and let herself pur against his puring. Mokomoko had wrapped itself around her waist once more, comforting her even more.

Rin's comfort was quickly depleting as she sensed both her parents only a few blocks away.

"Sesshomaru, you have to go" Rin said jumping off her bed and away from him.

"I do not wish to go" Sesshomaru stated

"My parents are coming home, I'm not ready to explain to them that I have a boy..." Rin stopped herself suddenly

"I am not your boyfriend Rin, I am your fiance'" Sesshomaru corrected her as her eyes widened and her cheeks boiled red

"My fiance'?" Rin questioned

"Hm"

"But you haven't even..." Rin sighed lightly, she hated knowing so little about her heritage. If only her parents were here to explain this to her. Parents, right! Rin thought silently to herself.

"You have to go! We can talk about this tomorrow" Rin said sorrowfully

"If you wish me to go, you will have consequences to deal with tomorrow" Sesshomaru said as Rin pulled him up by his hand and started leading him towards her window.

"Okay, whatever you say Sesshomaru" Rin said as he nodded and took his leave.
