~Sesshomaru's POV~
Rin was the only thing that actually mattered to me. Hence why I saved from when she was only a child, but I never knew that I was going to court her and follow in my father's footsteps.
Then his words finally clicked. "Yes I have someone to protect" I said to myself, as he quickly made my way to my home.
'Soon things would be falling into place' thought my beast which caused me to smile and not out of fear.
~Rin's POV~
I was helping decorating the tree while I tried to figure out what I wanted to give everyone for this Christmas.
I made a list with my head of what to get everyone, expect for Sesshomaru. She watched the others gather around especially Sango, Miroku with their kids, and then Kagome and Inuyasha.
I sighed within my mind, as I thought about Lord Sesshomaru as I sat in the snow and silently playing with it. 'Lord Sesshomaru I wonder what you're doing right now' I thought.
"Rin come on it's getting cold" Kagome called out to me, as she was close to the hut while the others had left for home.
"I'm coming" I called out, jumping up from the ground and made my way into the hut. I couldn't really sleep as my mind was on this whole Christmas thing and Sesshomaru.
~Normal POV Two weeks later~
Christmas was upon us, Kagome had invited everyone that they knew to join them for Christmas. She had sent messages explaining what it was of course.
Kagome giggled seeing Koga and Ayame with their children. Inuyasha was watching out for Sesshomaru 'Stupid Sesshomaru' he thought as he shook his head. 'Of course he has to make a grand entrance' he thought as he shook his head.
He watched Rin having fun and laughing with everyone in the group. He knew that she would make his home feel alive instead of cold and horrible.
Kagome walked to him, as she held out the mistletoe and kissed his cheek. "Merry Christmas Inuyasha" she said happily.
Inuyasha turned around then he gently pecked her on the lips. "Merry Christmas Kagome" he said rather gently.
The gang watched and smirked. 'AWE' they cried out happily watching them. "Shut up the lot of ya" he shouted at them as he crosses his arms feeling embarrassed.
~Sesshomaru's POV~
I was making my way to the Christmas whatever it was, with the presents I had made for Rin of course. 'I do hope she will like these' I thought to myself.
My beast chuckled. 'She will' he responded to me, as he kept running then I stood in the shadows waiting for the right moment.
~Rin's POV~
I was actually having fun when all of a sudden I see white. "LORD SESSHOMARU!" she screamed excitedly, as I ran towards him.
I hugged him around his waist as I placed my face into his chest. "Welcome and I missed you" I said to him softly. While he held the presents above my head, then he stroked my head. "Thank you Rin" he said to me kindly, as Kagome smiled at him. "Welcome Sesshomaru" she said to him kindly.
~Sesshomaru's POV~
I was welcomed and it was pretty nice especially when my precious Rin came and hugged me. I was feeling my beast actually purr in happiness.
Then I got annoyed as Inuyasha started poking me "This can't be the same bastard can it?" he questioned, making me growl.
~Nomarl POV~
Inuyasha was enjoying himself poking his bastard half brother. "Inuyasha stop poking Sesshomaru" Kagome demanded "Or I will say S.I.T" she adds standing there with her hands upon her hips.
Inuyasha backed away from him as his ears went down. "Good boy" Kagome said causing Shippo to snicker.
Sesshomaru happened to take Rin away from the group. As he smiled at her, and he took her hand into his hand then he got down on his knee.
"I've been waiting very patiently for you to grow up Rin, you have changed me from not being the cold hearted beast I once was." He said to her softly, while he held her hand.
"Rin would you please be my mate?" he asked placing a flower ring on her finger.
Rin looked down at her hand, then she looks into his amber golden hues with her brown ones. At a young age she had already learned what mating was since Sesshomaru thought that she might one day mate a demon she should know about how long they mate for, and such.
"Yes" was her simple reply, but he would take the yes, as he stood up to his full height. He towered over her, as he bent down and kisses her lips sweetly.
The group was spying on them, as Inuyasha took a coin from Shippo, and Miroku. "Never bet against me" he whispered to them with a smirk.
