Rin's P.O.V

The morning was a quiet one. Rin woke up and gathered her things together for the rest of the journey to the Western castle. Shaking Jaken awake, Rin made sure the fire was out and that there were no signs of them being in the clearing.
Not once did she look at her Lord, she was still really mad at him for treating her feelings like a game.

She could feel him staring at her, willing her to look at him, but she refused. She wasn't about to forgive him as easily as she normally did. It wasn't right for him to treat her so inconsequential.
Sure, she may be a human, but she still had feelings. She sighed and shook her head, getting rid of all of her thoughts.

Once Jaken was ready to leave they all set out towards the Western castle. Rin was walking along side Ah-Un like she normally did, when she felt Lord Sesshomaru walking next to her. "Rin."
"Yes My Lord?" She kept her voice even and her eyes on the path before her.
"Has This Sesshomaru done something to upset you?"

Rin sighed, she never thought he'd out right ask her if she was upset with him. "It is nothing my Lord; I don't wish to bother you with my thoughts." She risked a small peek over at him and watched as his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
Well he can figure out what she meant by himself. She started walking a little faster, hoping he would take the hint and leave her alone.

He didn't get the hint. He kept up with her easily. "Rin, I do not understand why you are mad at me."
She stopped suddenly and turned to face him. He had taken another step before he turned to look at her.
"My Lord, I am upset with your actions from last night, and I would be most grateful if you would allow me to have time to myself?" She made sure to word it where she did not challenge him.

She stood there looking at him waiting for his answer. She couldn't help but remember everything that happened last night. She felt her face go red, and a heat began to pool in between her thighs. She tried to stop her thoughts from wandering any farther.

Sesshomaru's P.O.V

Sesshomaru stood there and replayed her words through his mind. What did she mean that his actions upset her? She could not say that she didn't want This Sesshomaru. He could smell her arousal even now. He narrowed his eyes on her, "are you saying you do not wish to be with This Sesshomaru?"

He watched her eyes widen "I don't mean I want to leave My Lord, just that I would like some time to myself." He sighed, when she misunderstood what he meant. "That is not what I was asking you Rin." He let her contemplate his words before he spoke again "Do you not wish to lay with This Sesshomaru?"
He heard her small intake of breath, and watched her face go a deep red.

He waited for her reply, though he could already smell her answer. When she finally spoke he was surprised at her answer.
"No My Lord, that is not what I wish for. I wish for you to never ruin your name by bedding a lowly human like myself. I am not worthy for anything other than your ward."
Before he could stop himself he growled, making her flinch. "You are not just some human Rin." He watched her eyes widen in surprise and flicker with hope.

He could see the doubt flood into her luminous brown eyes. For some reason he had put her to tears. "I do not wish to be toyed with My Lord. Please, let us finish this conversation and continue on."
Sesshomaru looked at her concerned. "Rin, I did not mean to upset you again. I am merely trying to understand."
She nodded at him and gave him a small smile, making his insides twist into a knot. "It is alright My Lord, I am fine."

He stood there as she continued walking in the direction of his castle. Sighing internally he started following her. Sesshomaru continued to think about what she had said to him. Though he could not figure out why she thought he was toying with her feelings. Does she really think he could do that to her?

Tell me. What do you think is different about Rin that I do not know?
How would I know something you do not know.
You have said that she is hiding something. How did you know when I did not?
It is easy to see, the hair, the smell, the eyes. Pay attention and you will see that there is something different about this human.

Rin's P.O.V

Rin fought her tears the entire way to the castle. She would cry when she was alone in her room. Walking through the gates she waved at the castle guards. They were her friends and tutors. They helped in her lessons since she was seven.
She heard Lord Sesshomaru walk in the direction of the front entrance.

Going in the other direction to the servants entrance she ran into the cook. "Oh Miss Rin! Good to have you back dear. What would you like to eat?" The cook was a thin cat demon, she had brilliant orange hair and pretty green eyes.

"Oh the same thing I suppose. I don't want to put you through too much trouble. Has the Lady of the West arrived yet?"
The cook smiled at her "It's no trouble dear, and no she hasn't arrived yet, you have time to eat and bathe as directed by the Master."

Rin sighed at the mention of Lord Sesshomaru. What was he saying 'lay with him'? Was he really saying that he wanted to be with her?
Shaking her head at the impossible thought she walked through the servant halls, trying to avoid being seen by anyone.
She wasn't in the mood to be pestered by her lady's maids.

Reaching her bedroom without a problem she entered and shut the door behind her firmly. She smiled at her décor. She had thrown a fit when she was twelve, to get all of the little girl stuff removed from her room.
She wanted to be more sophisticated for her lord. She had her lady's maids work on the curtains and bed sheets secretly.

The curtains were white on the side facing the room, but red on the side facing the window. Every time the sun shone through her curtains it looked like the whole room was being set on fire.
It was completely beautiful. Her bed was covered in red sheets with blue crescent moons stitched on all the corners. There was a thick, soft white blanket with a large blue crescent moon directly stitched into the middle.

It was a tribute to her savior, that he knew nothing about. Ever since she had them placed in her room she forbade him from ever entering her rooms again.
She had also changed the small bed into a large open bed with sheer curtains falling from the ceiling, around her bed; with small openings on the side.
Going over to her wooden kurōzetto she got out her normal kimono for the castle grounds.

The kimono was a royal blue, with a grey dragon stitched into the fabric as if it was coiling around her body.
The head of the dragon came from behind her sitting on her shoulder as if it was looking out into the room.
Rin took the kimono and walked into the adjoining room next to hers. There was a bathing room, with a pool of warm water in the center.
Next to the edge were different scents and a drying towel.

Sesshomaru's P.O.V

Sesshomaru walked into his office and went over to his desk. Looking through the paperwork that had been left in his absence, lord Sesshomaru called for his servant.
A scrawny young man came into the office and bowed. He was Sesshomaru's normal errand boy.
He was a mouse demon with yellow eyes and grey hair. "Yes my Lord?"

"Do you know when my mother will be arriving?"
"Just before dinner my Lord. Not for another six hours."
"Thank you, have the cook prepare the usual, bore meat and vegetable soup with bread. Also, make sure she doesn't let Rin just eat fish again."

Being dismissed the boy bowed low and left the office. Sesshomaru sighed and started reading the complaints of the nobles in his lands. Some saying there weren't enough farm lands near the mountains and some saying there weren't enough coal mines near the plains lands. Both nobles refused to make amends and trade materials. Sesshomaru growled at the stupidity of the demon nobles.

He didn't understand why he had to settle disputes between two grown demons.
Sighing again he wrote a letter to both, offering a safe trade route between the two sections of land.
He also offered two ambassadors so the two demons didn't have to converse with each other. He signed them and rolled them up setting them on top of the send pile.
Sesshomaru sat there for another two hours doing the same thing with different situations.

There was a knock at his office door. "Enter." Sesshomaru looked up to see who was entering his room.
He watched as Rin walked in with a plate and bowl of food. "Rin?" Rin smiled over at him "They said you didn't answer your door when they brought your food. So I'm bringing it to you my lord."
He watched her walk over to him. He watched as the dragon on her kimono looked as if it was flying around her.

He moved the papers on his desk and leaned back so she could place the food down. He caught her sweet scent and breathed in deeply.
He remembered when it was just a pure vanilla smell. Now it was mixed with a milk and honey scent. "Thank you Rin."
He looked up into her eyes and saw a small determination in her eyes.

"Forgive me my Lord for leaving my rooms after you said not to, but I was worried about you, and there was something I had to do before your mother showed up." Sesshomaru raised one of his eyebrows at her, for her to continue.
He watched her take a deep breath, her eyes flickered with nervousness and indecision. He was curious as to what was going through her mind.

Sitting up a little more he turned his body towards her, waiting for her to say what was on her mind.
After a moment her determination came back. Worried she was still mad from earlier he started thinking of ways to keep her calm.
She looked into his eyes and before he could register her movements she leaned down and kissed him with all she was worth.

A.N /\/\ Now, Don't hate me for where it ended! I know, you're sooo frustrated right now. But, if I were to add his reaction to her kiss, then it would be over my word limit for the chapter.
