Ch.1

Sesshoumaru stood watching and blinking, he did not however do anything that could draw attention from the one he watched. His eyes were locked on the beauty before him. He looked at his hearts true desire, his life's one joy, his Rin. In the decade or so after Naraku's demise, she had grown up, and well. Gone was the eight year old partial ponytail, long had it been replaced. The long brown silk now fell well past her shoulders stopping about two inches above her waist. In this time of day the light hit it just so that it seemed to glow, almost begging to be touched.

Her eyes were two deep brown orbs that captivated him every time he looked into them. Her face had changed by now as well. Now more womanly features had taken the place of the childish ones she'd once had. The seventeen year old beauty had begun to cost him many battles. Male youkai had been after her from her late thirteenth or early fourteenth year. Never would Sesshoumaru allow them near his Rin. She may not know it yet, but she belonged to him. She would be his mate very soon. No other male youkai or human would ever have her. He looked away from her face, passed her small shoulders and stopped his roaming eyes just below there. Her breasts, perfectly sized and perky, how he wished he could see them through her kimono.

His gaze swept her flat stomach, down to those beautiful hips. About this time the smell of her intoxicating heat hit him, and hard. It was this highly alluring smell that had lead hundreds their graves. It was around this time; if he enjoyed it to much, that he would go on a "mission", to leave it behind. He told Rin and Jaken nothing, but returned to check on her every so often. This time however, he could not stand the idea of leaving her ever again. He wanted her, seeing the sunset bath her in different colors of light and gave her small form a soft glow.

As if called by some want, that was his but of he knew nothing, he moved from his watching place. He went over to his servant Jaken and spoke in his normal icy tone. "Jaken take Ah Un and go find the half breed Jijenji, I require his antidote." His servant gave him a confused look. "I told you to go!" At he Lords second command he bowed, gave a submissive "Yes Milord" grabbed Ah Un's rains, and rode away.

This was no lie, he world have a lot to do to keep Rin safe, better he be ready. The most important reason he had told them to go was that he wanted to be with Rin. He loved hearing her soft melodies in the early morning. It seemed however that that annoying voice always ruined it. With that distraction gone, he could focus on learning how she felt about him. He quickly covered the distance between them, stopping at her side. The smell of her body in heat filled his nose, mind, heart, and swelled his member. Feeling his physical change, he covered himself before speaking.

"Rin" his voice as close to normal as he could make it "Jaken and Ah Un will not return for some time, you may wish to find food before dark." That sweet ever present smile came along with her answer. "Very well Lord Sesshoumaru." With that she set out. He himself stayed close to her, he would keep her safe. He had to muse a little over that thought. When Rin had found something suitable, they went back to the small clearing, and she set about building a fire, in minutes it was crackling away. For a long time the Youkai Lord sat looking at the mortal that had, without him knowing it, stolen his heart.

She looked as beautiful as ever by the soft glow of the campfire. Sesshoumaru knew that Rin would give him anything he wanted. He wanted her to want him. The Lord would approach the subject carefully or at least as carefully as he could while in such a hurry. "Rin, have you yet thought of taking a mate?" His honey colored eyes held hers captive while he waited for an answer. He could hear her heart beat speed up, see the blush painting her cheeks. After nearly two minutes of silence he said "Tell me Rin, I will not be angered" He was impatient this night. His answer came swiftly after his impatient comment. "Yes Lord Sesshoumaru Rin has, and often." Her blush was deepening. He held back a smile and waited for her to go on.

"Rin would like one someday, however that would mean I would have to leave you would it not Lord Sesshoumaru" Her worried gaze and tone pleased him greatly; she still did not wish to leave him. "Only if you choose the wrong being, Rin have given thought to a youkai?" He asked tonelessly hoping she would say yes. "From time to time My Lord, did you have one in mind?" He smelled her heat again, Gods she smelled so sweet. He needed her mouth against his; needed to taste her lips, know if they were as soft and sweet as they looked. "I can think of but one being, youkai or human suitable for you Rin, the one before you." With that he waited for her reaction. Her smile brightened as she told him what she thought. "Yes my lord this was Rin's thought as well." Sesshoumaru could wait no longer, he had to ask now. "Rin will you become my mate?" A single tear hit her cheek, he had finally asked. "Rin would like that very much Lord Sesshoumaru." She had said yes.
