A/N: When reading the beginning with Rin's reward, please listen to Grippin by Sean Garrett.

Chapter 2

Sesshomaru set Rin down on their bed, before making sure the pups were sleeping. He came back and immediately parted her kimono, pulling it down slowly. He tossed it to the floor and lightly trailed his fingers along her exposed stomach before sliding under it and moving upwards to pull the top off before tossing that as well.

Sesshomaru lightly kissed her lips as his hands spanned her waist while he made his way down her chest, his lips tracing along her stomach lightly as her back arched slightly. Rin moaned softly as his hands hooked around her pants and pulled them off. His hands slid along her thighs slowly parting them as his lips trailed kisses up her legs.

Rin moaned softly as his mouth blew air gently on her exposed heat, Sesshomaru smirked before lightly tracing her clit with his tongue making Rin whimper as she gripped the pillow tightly. Sesshomaru parted her folds gently as his tongue slid within her body slowly while his thumb was constantly rubbing along her clit.

Sesshomaru slid a hand up her pelvis to circle a nipple slowly, driving Rin insane with his slow pace. Sesshomaru pulled back when he knew she was close. Rin whimpered softly as Sesshomaru turned her over onto her hands and knees as he placed her hands on the headboard of their bed. He leaned down and nipped her neck before sliding within her body deeply and slowly.

Rin moaned as she caught on to his pace and matched his body with her own movements. Sesshomaru growled as he reached a hand around and gently rubbed her clit in time with his gentle thrusts. Rin pleaded with Sesshomaru to stop teasing her but he dragged it out for a few moments longer before giving in to her wishes.

Sesshomaru gripped her waist with both hands as he pulled back only to slam back in causing Rin to moan and grip the headboard tighter. Rin leaned her head back, arching backwards as pleasure flooded her body at his quickened pace. Sesshomaru gave her rear a light slap causing Rin to move her hips faster against his own movements.

Rin gasped as he gave a particularly hard thrust that made him nip her neck hard enough to make it bleed, his tongue gently licking the blood off as his teeth sank in holding her in place for his frantic thrusts. All Rin could do was moan and hold on as he took her for a fast hot ride.

Rin whimpered as her release flooded through her body, Sesshomaru's frantic thrusts stilled against her as Rin felt a knot forming within her. Sesshoomaru whined softly as his nose nuzzled her neck gently sniffing to make sure she was unharmed. He carefully moved them so he could lay her on her side until the knot eased enough to pull from her body.

After a few minutes Sesshomaru slowly slid from her body before pulling her into his arms and resting her head on his chest. Rin smiled as she traced soft patterns along his chest. "So Rin, what is this marvelous idea you have to make them work together?" He asked softly, meeting her soft gaze in the room.

"Wee, you see, this issue keeps happening due to contradicting produce grown. The Asukabe village is known for its vegetable produce such as carrots and the like, while the Koremune village is known for its poultry produce such as chickens and the like. I propose a competition to make them work together to prepare a dish to please your own liking my Lord. If they can manage to win approval from you, they each marry off a daughter from their village to a son of the opposite village" She explained.

Sesshomaru pondered for a moment. "It is actually a brilliant strategy Rin. I will send a letter at once." Sesshomaru sent for Jaken and informed him that he was to write two letters, one to each village with the same instructions that would take place in a week's time. Jaken sent letters immediately and within a week Both villages were seen with wagons entering the Western Palace gates.

Each one was preparing their part of the recipe, chopping vegetables, cooking the meat just right, adding the right herbs and spices. Each member's movements and job was crucial if they were to find a way to please Lord Sesshomaru. At last the dish was done and even the scent was mouthwatering, they only had to wait for his approval.

The servants carried the dish out and set it on the table before Sesshomaru, with Rin standing at his side. He had Rin serve him a small amount of the plate before she sat beside him with her own plate. Sesshomaru took a bite and was very pleased that the aroma, the delicate flavoring and even the spices added were well to his liking, nicely flavored and not overdone.

Rin smiled as she ate her plate, once they were finished, Sesshomaru stood and took Rin's hand, she rose up to her feet gracefully. "I approve the dish. You work well together, maybe a marriage between the head village's daughter and the other village's son would enable peace between the two villages." He explained before he walked out with Rin's hand in his own.

The villagers all packed up and as they walked back they decided on dates between the two children, not knowing they had already met and fell in love. All good things come to those who least expect them, as they are about to discover.

A/N: This chapter was shorter but I will make chapter 3 longer and with the pups growing a bit, they will be 8, able to talk, and function as teenagers as youkai age differently than a human does.
