Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fic except for Bijin and Tsubusu… so far.
A/N: Ok I have finally got to work on my sequel to May. I have other fics that I'm working on; one is called Shinpi-teki na Oni, so I think ima do a Masako thing and only update every other chapter. (Like: Update this fic, then Shinpi-teki na Oni, then this fic, then S.O., then this fic, then… well you get the idea ) On with the fic!
This is in no ones POV in particular but I made it so you can tell who's thinking and who's talking.
Chapter One:
Intro: A year and a few months after the tragic death of Inuyasha and Kagome's son, Gogatsu, Sesshomaru has to deal with Rin.
"Do you think she's ill?"
"No, Sesshomaru."
"Sad, mad?"
"No, Sesshomaru."
::Bijin hastily runs around trying to cook dinner and feed Tsubusu::
"What do you think is wrong then?"
"Nothing, Sesshomaru, Rin is fin, she just needs to be alone."
"Why?"
"Quit it."
"What?"
"Doing that."
"What am I doing that could possibly posses you to tell me to quit?"
"Getting into that girls business; you don't have to watch her 24/7 like you use to. She's a big girl now, Sesshomaru
"Hmm… I suppose your right."
"Well, I know I'm right, now, sit down."
"Why?"
"Because I hate it when you pace."
"Hmm…"
"What?"
"… should I talk to her?"
::Bijin stops wondering about and turns to her mate, hands on her hips::
"Sesshomaru, knock it off."
"I just want to know what's wrong."
::Bijin gets right in front of Sesshomaru to were she can feel his slow paced breath on her face::
"Quit worrying."
sigh "Since when do I need to listen to you?"
"Unless you don't want to ::pauses for a moment and turns around to see Tsubusu sitting on the ground with a curious face. Looking at his parents:: pray [A/N: if you don't get that little joke you have to read May, this is the sequel after all] I suggest you sit and watch your son. Pay no mind to Rin, she will be fine."
"Hmm… fine."
"I'll talk to her later."
"Hold on, I raised her, why do you get to talk to her?"
"I might know what's wrong with her and she definitely wont want to tell you."
"Woman thing?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
I never did get their women 'things.'
"I'll tell you what if you want to talk to her… go tell her dinner is ready."
"Hmm… fine, where is she?"
"Probably in her garden."
"She spends a lot more time there now."
"She always did like her garden."
"I know… Bijin."
"Yes?"
"Do you think… she is still sad about Gogatsu?"
"I don't know, that could be it."
"Hmm…"
"What's wrong?"
"If it is, I know what I could do."
"What?"
"Don't worry about it, I will go get Rin."
::Tsubusu starts to whine as his father opens the door and leaves::
"It's okay, Tsubusu, daddy will be back in just a minute."
::Tsubusu lowers his whining, but Bijin can still hear him whimper::
He's definitely his father's son; he won't be as soon as Sesshomaru knuckles down on him like he does Rin.
"Tsubusu you hungry?"
::Tsubusu turns his attention to his mom and makes a strange noise but has a big smile::
"That's my boy, come here."
::Tsubusu starts to crawl to his mother::
Outside
"Rin, dinner is ready." I think I was right, she is still sad about Gogatsu.
::Rin is sitting in front of the Sakura Tree that Gogatsu was buried under, just staring at the small boys grave::
::Sesshomaru walks up behind the small girl:: "Rin."
::Rin turns around surprised::
"Oh! Sorry, my Lord."
"Dinner."
"Um… my Lord, I'm not hungry, may I please excuse myself from dinner this evening?"
I don't care what Bijin says I want to know now.
"Yes, that will be fine. Rin, may I ask you a question?"
::Rin sits and pats that ground in front of her::
"Ask away my Lord."
::Sesshomaru sits::
"Is something the matter?"
"Huh? No, My Lord I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, my Lord um…"
::Rin points to behind Sesshomaru::
"What are you doing, Sesshomaru?"
That's just my luck
.::Sesshomaru turns around to see Bijin with her hands on her hips and stands up::
"Talking to Rin, problem?"
"Yes—"
"Good, Rin has asked to be excused from dinner and I have granted her permission."
"Fine ::Bijin looks down at Rin:: Are you sure you're not hungry?"
"I'm sure, yes."
::Sesshomaru grabs Bijin's arm, as Bijin was about to open her mouth to say something more, and drags her inside::
Inside
"What did I tell you?"
"I wanted to know why she didn't want to eat."
"But that's not what you asked her about."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I know you and your head is as thick as a boulder. I knew you would ask her if I sent you out there ::she shook her arm loose from Sesshomaru's grip and starts to walk around the room, eyes closed and shaking her hands:: but I went against my better instincts and tried to trust my mate."
"Bijin."
"What?!"
"Stop that."
"Your one to tell people what to do, you don't even listen to your mate—"
"Now see her, I listen when I think I should I do not take orders from you especially—"
"You stupid dumb—"
"Bijin, first let me finish and second your young child is sitting right behind you."
"Fine finish."
::Bijin crossed her arms::
"I was going to say I don't take orders from you especially when you are disrespecting me."
"I was doing no such thing."
::Bijin's hands found themselves back on her hips::
"Hmm… cute."
"What?"
"You when you're mad."
"Don't try to sweet talk your way out of this."
::Sesshomaru walked his way over to his mate and replaces her hands with his own on her hips::
"Why not, you say I'm good at it all the time."
::Bijin's hands where now on Sesshomaru's back as she was staring into his amber eyes, moving closer to him now::
"Did you feed Tsubusu?"
"Umm-hmm."
"Can we… pray?"
"No, ::he moves closer to her:: I want you to determine what is wrong with Rin since I already have an idea, I just want to be sure."
"Then can we pray?"
"All night if you'd like."
::Sesshomaru leans forward just a bit more and kisses her lightly on the lips::
sigh "Okay, you put Tsubusu to sleep though. He's been fidgeting all day, I think he wants you."
"I can see he's not the only one."
"Heh."
"Fine, I'll put him to sleep , you go assure my suspicions."
"Okay."
End chapter one!
