Telling!

Sorry if this chapter is short. I kind of hurt my head really bad and so I don't know how long this will be. So please and enjoy this lovely chapter I have for ya. Also thank you for all the positive reviews they make me so happy.

I had been putting up with pain in the butt Sargent Aoyma for three months. I wasn't sure how much longer I could put up with him and his sweet loving personality. I sighed as I looked at the papers I was grading and then heard a knock. I rolled my eyes and then went to the door.

"For petes sake Sargent can't I catch a break?" I asked as I answered the door. Sure enough Sargent was there. "Hn...here." He said handing me a envelope and then he left. "Whatever!" I yelled after him and then opened it up. "What the heck did he give me?" I asked Kari as I sat back down at the counter.

Rin,

You are invited to the Soldier's Ball this Saturday evening. Dress is formal, dinner is at six. Please join us in celebrating our brave men a return home.

Sincerely InuTashio

I sighed and then laid it down. "Aoyma!" I yelled and then went to my closet and looked at the dresses I owned and pouted. "I guess this is where I call him in for some help." I said and then grabbed my phone. "I need help." I said and then the line went dead. I sighed and went back to grading papers.

After and hour of grading a knock came. I smiled and let Kari growl at the door and then watched as she pouted for attention when she saw who it was. "Thanks by the way." I said as I got a dress bag handed to me. "No problem. I wouldn't be surprised if he waited so long just to make sure you didn't come." Inuyasha said.

I once again said thanks and let Inuyasha go about his day. I went to my room and tried on each of the dresses Inuyasha gave me. The first one was one with sleeves and I wasn't a big fan of them. That it was green and I didn't think it looked good on me. So I called that one an out. The next was a dark blue but I didn't like the material. So that was an out as well. After four dress I finally tried on the last one and fell in love with it.

The last dress was silver and strapless. But the part I loved the most was it being a princess dress. I didn't want to take it off but I did and hung it up and out of harms way. I put the others away and then went to take a shower. I had exactly three hours to be ready for the soldier's ball and I wanted to be there so I could get in Aoyma's face.

"Ok. Shower, check. Makeup, check. Heels, check. Dress, check. Me, check. Alright looks like I am ready to go and have a little fun tonight." I said to Kari. She yipped and then I patted her on the head and made my way out. I locked the door and then left to go to my car.

It was a twenty minute drive to the manor that they always held things like this. I pulled up and a valet came and let me out and took my car to park. I smiled at all the people I noticed and then smiled as I seen InuTashio at the door greeting guest. "Rin you made it." He said as he took me into a hug.

"Yes I did and it's not thanks to a certain Sargent." I said more to myself and InuTashio heard and glared at his son. Aoyma seemed to ignore his father and talked to others. I shot him daggers and looked about the room. "Well you look nice for someone who just found out about this." Inuyasha said as he walked up to me and I smiled.

"I don't suppose I can talk you into a dance tonight?" I asked him. Kagome giggled and pushed us to the dance floor. I smiled as Inuyasha and I did the waltz. But it was short lived when Aoyma interrupted us. I glared once again at him. But so as not to cause a scene Inuyasha left us alone. That was when I started to shoot daggers at him.

"I can't help but notice that you don't seem happy with me." Aoyma said to me. I looked him in the eye. "Oh I'm sorry if you got that impression I was trying very hard to hide it from you. Ya see I can't stand arrogant men like you Sargent." I said to him. He looked at me for a moment. "Sesshomaru." He said and continued dancing.

"Excuse me?" I asked him. He looked at me again and then kept eye contact with me. "I prefer to be called Sesshomaru." He said to me. I raised an eyebrow and then nodded. "Well Sesshomaru just because I am talking to you doesn't mean I forgive you for what you have done." I said to him. He nodded and then continued to dance with him.

After three more dances it was time to eat. Some how I ended up next to Sesshomaru. I rolled my eyes and then went about the dinner. I talked to the soldier on my right and we talked about a lot of things. When he started to try and look down my dress that is when I turned the conversation off. Unfortunately he didn't take the hint and kept talking.

After another minute Sesshomaru jumped into the conversation. "Do this table a favor and shut up. An do her a favor and leave her the hell alone." He said and then went about the meal. I smiled and then ate my own food. Little conversation was made after Sesshomaru spoke out. But that was alright by me.

After dinner Sesshomaru asked me to join him out side. He took me by the hand and lead the way. "So what did you need to talk about out here?" I asked him. Sesshomaru turned to look at me and then he looked away. "You need to be careful about what you wear and how you act around men who haven't seen a woman in a while." He said and then left.

I glared at him and then went back in myself and danced with both Inuyasha and InuTashio. After those two dances I said my goodbyes and good nights and made my way home as far away from Sargent pain in the butt Sesshomaru.

I made it home safe and sound. I got changed and then took Kari for a small walk through the park. After a half hour we returned home and for some reason I was not surprised to see Sesshomaru standing at my door. "What can I help you with?" I asked him as I unlocked my door. "Lunch tomorrow. I will pick you up." He said and then left. I sighed and then got ready for bed.

Sesshomaru came to my door and then took me out to lunch. I wasn't sure if I should be worried or happy. But either way he has a reason for bring me here and I am gonna find out why. "So lunch can I ask what's the occasion and expect and answer this time?" I asked him. Sesshomaru seemed to have smirked a little and then set his coffee cup down.

Sesshomaru seemed to think about how he was going to answer my question. "Rin do you know how demons work?" He asked me. I scuffed and then looked at him. "Yes I took demon courses in both high school and college. What does that have to do with you bring me out to lunch?" I asked him.

Sesshomaru took in my attitude and then took a deep breath. "You are my destined mate Rin." He said to me. I looked at him for a moment. "Look I know your not the repeating type from what I hear from Inuyasha but do you th..." I was cut off by Sesshomaru and a slight growl. "Ok never mind." I said to him.

I looked him in the face and noticed he was looking at something else. I turned around to find a man looking at me. I turned back around and looked at Sesshomaru. "That's why last night at the ball with the man that was hitting on me." I said and looked Sesshomaru over. "You don't seem like the type to get jealous." I said to him. "Wait why am I so calm about this?" I asked myself.

Sesshomaru glared at me. "Whether I look the type or not we dog demons are possessive over what is theirs and you are mine." He said to me. "Got it?" He asked. I nodded and went about eating my lunch. "So how did you find out? I mean don't you need my scent?" I asked and then I paused. "Which you got when I sent you a letter." I said to him. "Well interesting." I said to myself.

Sesshomaru took yet another sip of coffee and then looked me in the eyes. "Rin you understand how this works do you not?" He asked. I nodded once again. "Good and so you will be moving in with me by next week." He said to me as he asked for the bill. That caused me to pause.

"Wait I can't I mean..." I tried to talk but I lost my voice. "Rin it is only right seeing how we will be married with in six months." He said to me. That was when I went into complete shock. "Six...six months you say." I said trying to take in everything I was just told. "Why do I have to move in with you?" I asked him. Sesshomaru sighed and glared at me once again. "It is to make sure that no other male comes near you of course." He said as if that was common sense.
