My Choice

Chapter 4

The doors slid opened slowly, reveling Rin and Shippo hand in hand, love in their eyes for only each other. They walked down the stairs to the dinning room, taking their set. Rin sat one seat down on the right of Sesshomaru, Shippo next to her.

During dinner everyone had their own little conversations, Rin and Shippo tried not to talk to each other much so Sesshomaru wouldn't know much. When ever someone asked if Rin was taken her reply would be. "Yes and no. I do not have a suitor but in a way I am taken." Some would just laugh but if you actually looked at Sesshomaru you could see he was not at all happy she was doing any of this.

'Why does she do this?' 'Maybe she's in love.' Another voice said. 'Who are you?' 'Kagome.' 'What are you doing in my head wench?' 'Telling you what is right in front of your own face.' 'Why? Do you think this Sesshomaru is stupid?' 'No, you just can't see what's in front of your own face sometimes.'

'So she may love him, what about it.' 'Why do you not like Shippo? It's not like he's human or a peasant. He's a strong fighter and a loyal and loving person.' 'Because I want to find her someone!' 'Do you, or do you want her for yourself?' 'What are you talking about?' 'I think you're a tad bit jealous that Rin is actually in love, and it's not you she's in love with.'

When dinner was over and people started to get up and dance. Many came over and asked Rin for at least one but she refused everyone. A strange female demon walked over and glared at Rin. "Shippo, may I please have this dance?" Rin looked at Shippo not understanding, he wasn't suppose to be courting. "I am afraid I was just about to dance with someone else." Shippo got up and help a hand out to Rin. She took it quickly and the walked to the dance floor.

"What was that about?" "What?" "Who was that?" "I have no idea. If you think I'm courting, I'm not." Rin saw Sesshomaru standing next to the female demon. 'What is he up to?'

Kagome had noticed what had happened and saw that Sesshomaru was standing to the demon as well and walked over to him. "What are you doing?" "What do you mean?" "You're trying to break Rin and Shippo apart, aren't you?" "What if I am?" "If you love her, it's to late now. She is in love and she will not love another like she does Shippo."

Sesshomaru growled deep in his throat. "You do not know you place woman." "Hay!" InuYasha had come over and heard some of the conversation. "Back off brother." Sesshomaru just looked at the couple and then turned to leave before a big scene could accrue.

Soon people returned to their rooms and the party ended. Only Kagome Rin Shippo and a few others were there. Shippo got up and walked over to Rin. "M'lady, may I have a dance?" He asked extending his hand out. "Of course." Rin put her hand in his and he pulled her onto the dance floor. They danced to their own music, it seemed as though they could hear the same tune though.

"I love you." Shippo whispered into Rin's ear. Rin blushed a little. "I love you too." She whispered back. Shippo pulled back a little to look into her eyes. "You're so beautiful." Rin looked deep into his eyes lovingly and smiled. "Rin." "Yes?" "Would you umm..." "Would I what?" Shippo kissed her softly. "Would you be my mate?" He asked mumbling against her lips. A single tear left her eye and wandered its way down her cheek. "I would only want to spend the rest of my life with you." She mumbled back.

Shippo kissed her a little harder and gently slid his tongue over her lips. She gasped slightly and he slipped his tongue into her mouth, running it along her own heatedly. Rin pulled back from the lack of air. "I love you." Shippo whispered running his thumb over her cheek. "And I you."

Kagome made her way over to the couple. "You two should be getting to bed." "Ok." They whispered together. Kagome and the rest of the others left to their rooms. "Would you like to go back to my room?" Rin looked into his eyes and nodded.
