Thank you so much for all the review. I really appreciate them! All of them keep me writing so thank you! I hope you like this next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

It was ten in the morning and Kaname still wasn't home. Something was up; Kaname always came home early after spending the night with Hiro; most of the time she tried to sneak past me while I was sleeping so I wouldn't pester her about her crappy boyfriend. I've called her cell phone almost twenty times. I was sitting on the couch, my cell phone in one hand, and I was using my other hand to chew my nails. I was almost down to the cuticles. Kaname was always the responsible one she was always the one looking out for me. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if it was anybody else, but Kaname came home early every single time that she spent a night away from home. I was starting to get really worried. Deciding that I couldn't take it anymore I called my mom.

"Hello?" Just hearing her voice could calm me down if only a little bit.

"Mom I need your help, I'm so scared," my voice almost cracked.

"Honey what's wrong?" Her voice was so urgent that I thought if I didn't answer fast enough she would drive over here.

"Mom, Kaname didn't come home this morning she said she was staying the night with Hiro but she always comes home early when she spends the night away from home." Tears were starting to run down my face.

"Rin honey calm down. Have you called her?" My mother asked

"Yes mom I've been calling her all morning I even called that jackass Hiro. No matter how many times I called they haven't picked up the phone."

I went back to biting my nails and started pacing in the living room. Before I could bite my nails on my other hand all the way down to my cuticles I heard a door open and shut.

I spun around and saw Kaname standing there, she wasn't injured she just looked shocked and she had tears running down her face. I bet we were mirror images of each other right now.

"Mom I've got to go Kaname's here, she looks fine. Thanks for putting up with me momma I love you bye."I hung up the phone and moved towards Kaname.

Kaname had slid down the front door. I wiped all my tears away. I crouched down in front of Kaname and put my hands on her cheek. "Kaname, what's wrong?"

She looked into my eyes tears still running down her face. Before I could question her again she had her arms wrapped around me tight and started sobbing.

I hugged Kaname until she calmed down. I didn't know what was going on but I tried to comfort her as best as I could.

When she finally loosened her grip, I pulled back far enough so I could look at her face." Kaname sweetie what happened?"

"I didn't mean for it to happen Rin," she said looking into my eyes.

"What didn't you mean to happen Kaname?" I was so confused.

"He looked just like Hiro, he tricked me into sleeping with him," her voice started cracking.

"Who sweetie?" My blood was boiling with anger at this point but I did my best to keep my temper in check.

"Hiro's brother Naraku, and Hiro knew about it he said that's what brothers do they share. I never thought Hiro could be like that Rin. I didn't even recognize him he was so cold."Kaname rested her head on my shoulder and started sobbing again.

I recognized that name. Was it the same Naraku from my dreams or was it a coincidence or was he a reincarnation? I clenched my fists so hard my fingernails stabbed the palm of my hand and drew blood.

I finally calmed Kaname down enough so she could get a shower. I didn't get the whole story out of her but I got enough to know I was going to kick Hiro and Naraku's asses.

She told me where the hotel was at which was good enough for me. I picked up my phone and dialed my mom's number. "Hey mom, sorry if I worried you I need you to come and stay with Kaname for a while. I have to go take care of something and I don't want her to be alone."

"Okay honey, if you need me I'll be there," she sounded unsure, but for right now that was all I could tell her.

"Please hurry," I put on my shoes and walked out the door making sure not to slam it. I didn't want Kaname to know I was leaving. I was wearing a white t shirt with some skinny jeans, and a little bit of eyeliner. I had planned to call Sesshomaru and plan a date but when I came out of my room ready for the day and saw Kaname wasn't there I knew something was wrong.

I pulled up to the hotel that Kaname was in last night. I parked my car and then speed walked into the lobby. There was a man at the front desk. "Hi I'm looking for Naraku's room."

"Sure just let me call the room and check with the guest." He grabbed the phone about to call.

"Actually I'm his girlfriend, I really want to surprise him you see he's been overseas for a long time." I was giving him my mega watt smile. He smiled back and then gave me the room number. Worked like a charm.

I reached Naraku's room and I knocked. When I didn't hear any noise coming from the other side I knocked louder. Then I heard someone grumbling "I'm coming" as if he was half asleep.

He opened the door. I got a good look at his face, but it didn't ,match up Kaname said he looked just like Hiro. As far as I could tell he didn't look anything like Hiro. He had long black hair and haunting red eyes. He was the evil guy from my dreams. I didn't remember all the details but I knew he was trouble.

He looked me up and down, "What the hell are you doing –

Before he had the chance to finish his question I punched him in the face, I could hear his nose break from the impact. He grabbed his noise and yelled; before he could retaliate I punched him in the stomach as hard as I could. He bent over holding his stomach.

"If you ever touch Kaname again you'll be sorry," I watched his huddled form topple over.

I decided to book it just in case Hiro was thinking of dropping by. I was strong but I had caught Naraku off guard. I'm sure if he knew I was coming he would've put up more of a fight. I could fight but I didn't want to get into an all out brawl right now. Kaname was probably at home freaking out because I wasn't home.

When I made it home, my mom and Kaname were both sitting on the couch. As soon as they saw me they started asking where I had been and what had I been doing. I didn't feel like answering them right now so I just shrugged them off. I gave Kaname and my mom a hug and a kiss on the cheek before I headed back to my room.

I shut the door and laid down on my bed, I lifted my hand up. My knuckles were bruised from the punches I gave to Naraku. As I was examining my hand I heard my cell phone ring. I dug my hand into my packet wincing when my hand hit the denim of my jeans. "Hello?"

"Hello Ms. Davis it's Dr. Okami." He said in his deep masculine voice.

I had to think for a minute, and then I remembered the job interview. "Oh, yes doctor good to hear from you again."

"I just wanted to let you know you got the job, you're hired." He said in a congratulatory tone. "You start next week on Monday."

I couldn't believe it I got the job, "Thank you so much sir you won't regret it."

He laughed, "I'm sure I won't."

I remembered something I had to ask him, "Doctor I know this may be a little rude considering you just gave me a job but would you do me a favor and schedule an appointment for my friend?"

"Well I don't usually take last minute appointments but... I have an opening for… tomorrow at four p.m.," I could hear papers rustling in the background.

I wore a grateful smile on my face, "Thank you so much I appreciate it doctor."

"Then I'll see you and your friend tomorrow." I could tell from his voice that he was kind hearted.

I hung up the phone and placed it on my stomach. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

Kaname came into the room with a blanket wrapped around her. Her eyes were all red and puffy from crying. Kaname was really pretty; unlike me she was fully Japanese. Her eyes were a brown hazel color, her hair was onyx black, and she had very soft facial features. I hated to see her so sad.

Kaname came and laid on the bed next to me, "Your mom just left she said that she had to go and run some errands. She said she would come and visit again tomorrow.

I looked over at her "I made an appointment for you at the ob clinic just in case."

She just stared blankly and nodded, and then put her head on my shoulder.

"It's going to be okay Kaname," I said trying to be as reassuring as possible. My cell phone rang, I looked at the caller ID I didn't recognize the number.

I picked up deciding I wanted to cheer Kaname up a little, "Hello, this is two hot sexy chicks." Kaname giggled.

"Hello Rin" a deep stoic voice said.

My heart skipped a beat, it was Sesshomaru. I swallowed, "Hi Sesshomaru." My heart was beating so fast, damn this man and the effect he had on me.

Kaname hit my arm obviously wanting to be clued in. I gave her a look saying I would tell her later.

"I wanted to call and see if you wanted to go out with me," his voice was still stoic but I could tell he was nervous about what I was going to say.

I didn't want to disappoint him but I didn't want to leave Kaname alone either. I guess I didn't answer Sesshomaru fast enough for Kaname's liking.

She grabbed the phone from my hand, "She would love to go out with you Sesshomaru, when can you come pick her up? There was a pause. Okay she'll see you then bye."

I grabbed my phone back and glared at her hard, "I'm not leaving you alone here!"

Kaname stood up off the bed, "That's good because I wasn't planning on staying here alone; you're going to drop me off at your mom's house so I can hang out with your hot cousins and then you're going to meet Sesshomaru at Inuyasha's house. Please tell me your cousins are still staying with your mom."

I nodded my head yes and rolled my eyes when Kaname did her little happy dance. I looked at her skeptically "I don't know if this is a good idea."

She gave me little glare of her own, "Hun you know you want to go. You obviously like this guy a lot. I thought you were going to stop breathing when you heard his voice. Besides you don't have to worry about me I'll be with your hot buff cousins.

I sighed, "It's not just that. I haven't known him for that long either."

Before I could say anymore Kaname jumped on top of me.

"Get off of me!" I tried pushing her off but she wouldn't budge so I gave up.

Kaname looked at me, "Stop second guessing yourself it will be fine. Besides if he hurts you I'll kill him."

Kaname got off of me "I'm going to go get ready but before I go I'm picking out something for you to wear.

I got up and went to go shower and after Kaname finished picking out my clothes she too went to get ready.

After my shower I wrapped myself in a white fluffy towel and wrapped my hair in a towel too. I moved towards my bed to see what my roommate picked out for me to wear and the first thing I saw was the sexy underwear and bra she made me buy when we went to the mall a couple weeks ago. I shook my head but decided not to put them back in the drawer and just wear them. I pulled on my robe, put some eyeliner on and curled my hair. The eyeliner really made my green eyes pop and my auburn hair was filled with curls. I put on my white skirt that flowed to my knees and the pink tank top that Kaname had picked out for me. I went to my closet and picked out some pink wedges to go with my outfit.

I carried the shoes out to the living room and put them by the door. As I waited for Kaname to finish getting herself together I sat on the couch and turned on the television. Kill Bill was on, I loved this movie so much, it was one of my favorites. The part of the movie where Uma Thurman and Lucy Lu were about to sword fight was when Kaname made her presence known. For everything she had been through today she looked pretty good. She was wearing some short shorts with a white t shirt and some black high heel boots.

I whistled as she came strolling into the living room, "Who are you trying to look good for?"

"Your hot cousins of course who else," she stated smugly.

I rolled my eyes and giggled at her, "well let's go before I lose my nerve and call this date off."

Kaname obviously took what I said seriously because she practically dragged me to the car. I was laughing at her the whole way there she was trying to run but her high heel boots were proving to be a challenge. She kept tripping over her own feet it was quite entertaining.

We had made it to my mom's house in about ten minutes. She was about to get out of the car when I grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug. "You be careful, understand?"

Kaname smiled and then got out of the car before she closed the door she reassured me, "I will definitely be careful, promise."

I watched my mom open the door and let Kaname in she waved to me and then I drove off.

It only took me about twenty minutes to get Inuyasha and Kagome's house. I made sure not to make the mistake of parking on the street and drove up the driveway and parked my car. Slamming the car door I walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

I felt really nervous, what if he wasn't there or what if he decided he didn't want to go anymore. Before I had the chance to run for it Sesshomaru answered the door with Kairi in his arms.

A cute little giggle could be heard coming from the tiny girl with silver hair and dog ears, "Rin! I mished you!"

She held out her arms to me. Sesshomaru handed her off to me. It melted my heart to see her reach out for me. Kairi gave me a hug as she made herself comfortable in my arms. Sesshomaru bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek. It was hard for me to believe he actually had to bend down, most of the time I was the same height as the guys I knew or they were shorter than me. Because of my mixed heritage I was pretty tall.

My face flushed when I realized he was staring at me.

Sesshomaru gave off a cold vibe but I knew better, I knew he could be sweet and gentle and he reinforced that with his next statement. "You look gorgeous."

I could feel my face get warmer. "Rin's face is red," Kairi stated amused by my obvious embarrassment.

Before my face could become anymore flushed Kagome rescued me. "Come inside already it's cool out tonight."

We walked inside with Kairi still in my arms. When we came into the living room Inuyasha and Kagome were waiting to greet me. Inuyasha had the same old smirk on his face and Kagome smiled gently. Kairi was pulling at my shirt letting me know she wanted me to let her down so I did. I didn't realize how much I missed Inuyasha and Kagome until I saw them. I went up to Inuyasha and hugged him tightly. He was surprised at first but soon returned the hug. I swear I heard Sesshomaru growl when Inuyasha hugged me back and I heard Inuyasha chuckle. Before any trouble ensued I decided to move on to Kagome, I gave her a side hug because of her bulging stomach but she didn't seem to mind.

I felt such a strong connection to Kairi, Inuyasha, and Kagome but I felt an even stronger connection to Sesshomaru. Whenever Sesshomaru touched me or looked at me it sent tingles down my spine and gave me butterflies at the same time.

Deciding that it was too quiet I decided to speak up. "I missed you guys so much but as much as I would love to spend more time with you guys Sesshomaru and I should go before it gets too late.

Everybody looked surprised at my assertiveness especially Sesshomaru but he nodded his head. Sesshomaru and I walked to the door getting ready to leave when I felt a tug at my skirt.

Kairi looked up at me, "Rin leave already?"

She was so adorable. I smiled and bent down so I could be at eye level with her, "I have to go but I promise I'll be back to play with you soon."

Kairi seemed satisfied with that answer because she smiled, kissed my cheek, and then went to join her mommy and daddy. "Bye Uncle Sess" she said waving her hand at Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru smiled at her and waved back blowing her a kiss. That one movement by him pulled at my heart strings. Once all the goodbyes were said we walked outside into the cool night.

We decided to take Sesshomaru's car and he would bring me back to Inuyasha and Kagome's later so I could pick up my car. The only thing was I discovered Sesshomaru didn't have a car he had a motorcycle. Man I was falling for him more and more each and every second.

Sesshomaru handed me a helmet, "Try to lean your body with mine when we turn or hit curves."

I nodded my head but my mouth wanted to hang open at the sight of Sesshomaru in a leather jacket and motorcycle helmet. Sesshomaru smirked and shook his head as if he knew what I was thinking. He motioned for me to climb onto the bike behind him. I wrapped my arms around his midsection and my legs come up around him. I could feel my heat pressing against his back. Oh this was definitely going to be an interesting ride.

When got to our destination I was feeling a little hot and bothered. Once I calmed down a little I examined my surroundings to see we were at a small café far away from any other businesses. We had to drive forty five minutes out of town to get here. I didn't mind though when I was in the United States my family and I stayed in a small secluded town. It was nice to be away from the city every once in a while.

We went inside the small café and there was a hostess waiting for customers at the podium. When she spotted us she put on a customer friendly smile, "How many will there be in your party?"

Sesshomaru looked at the hostess, "Only two."

The hostess became mesmerized by Sesshomaru's looks. I was starting to get a little annoyed so I cleared my throat, "He said two please."

Sesshomaru let out a small chuckle while the hostess became very huffy and led us to a booth in the back. Sesshomaru sat on one side and I sat across from him. Just as the hostess left a waitress came to get our drink orders. I got a beer and so did Sesshomaru. She didn't take long to get us our drinks and then she left to give us time to look over the menu.

I took a sip of my beer and noticed Sesshomaru staring at me intensely. I smiled, "What is something on my face?"

He shook his head no, "You're really beautiful."

It amazed me how his face could remain stoic but I could tell that he meant every word he said sincerely.

I looked down at the table a little smile lighting my features. Then I felt his hand on my chin. He lifted my face up and leaned over the table to kiss me. I don't think Sesshomaru meant for the kiss to turn as passionate as it did. At first it was just a touching of lips and he pulled back but I wanted more. I leaned closer to kiss him again but harder. He lightly nibbled at my lip asking for passage and I gave it to him whole heartedly. Sesshomaru slipped his tongue into my mouth and started exploring, I tried to match his tongue with my own but he won the battle. Out tongues move against each other sensually.

We were so into the kiss we didn't notice the waitress arrive until she cleared her throat. I pulled back right away my face heating up. Sesshomaru let out a chuckle at my embarrassment. I glared at him and he chuckled even more.

Clearing her throat again the waitress asked "Have you decided what you're going to order?"

I nodded my head "I'll have a burger with fries."

She looked to Sesshomaru, "And for you hun?"

"I'll have the same," he said without much thought.

The waitress collected our menus and went back into the kitchen.

I could feel Sesshomaru's gaze on me, "Do you like this place?"

I looked up at him surprised at the question, "Actually I like it a lot it reminds me a lot of my hometown. It's not crowded like the city is. I like the quiet. I've always dreamed of raising a family somewhere in the country."

"Sounds like a good dream," he said.

I looked up to see he was completely serious, "Speaking of dreams the night when I came to dinner I had a dream about you and I. You looked different you had stripes on your cheek and a crescent moon on your forehead. I was very sick." I paused at his cringe I wondered if I should continue or not.

Sesshomaru looked into my eyes with sorrowful expression, "Sorry your dream just reminded me of some painful memories."

Looking down "I'm sorry I'll stop if – his hand covered mine.

I looked up into his golden eyes, "Its fine I know you want answers but you don't have to continue I already know how your dream ended. I beg you not to leave and then you slip away correct?"

I nodded my head yes, "So my hunch was right that wasn't just a dream that really happened?"

"It seems that since you're a reincarnation you're starting to remember your past life. I do find it weird that your first name is the same though." He said.

Shaking my head I smiled at him, "Actually Rin is my middle name but my first name is American so it made more sense for me to use my middle name when we moved here to Japan."

"So what's you real name," he asked genuinely curious.

"Maybe if you're lucky I'll tell you one day," I said playfully giving him a wink.

I was about to ask another question when our waitress came by and delivered our food to us. We were quiet while we ate our food, sharing glances every once in a while.

When I was so full I couldn't eat anymore I looked over at Sesshomaru, "How come you look different from the way you were in my dream?"

He looked surprised that I asked. He then looked at me and then looked around. He gradually took the ring he was wearing on his left index finger off. Then all of the features I saw in my dream were there: the red stripes on each cheek, the blue crescent moon, and the pointed ears. I reached across the table that was separating us and traced the stripes on each cheek, and then I slid my hand upwards and traced the crescent moon. As I caressed the markings on his face his eyes closed.

Once I was done I drew my hand back, and Sesshomaru placed the ring back on his finger.

I was so shocked how everything changed back, "Can't you just leave the ring off?"

He was obviously pleased with my reaction because he reached over took my hand and brushed his lips over it. "Demons have to conceal their identity, that's the rule."

I snuffed, "That's a stupid rule."

He chuckled at my response.

I loved to hear his voice and his laughs. Deciding to bring down the mood I asked, "Do you ever wish I looked your wife, I mean I know I'm not the prettiest girl out there and –

Before I could say anything else he squeezed my hand and gave me a hard look. I gulped at the intensity in his eyes, "Your beautiful Rin I wouldn't want you to ever change or look any different."

Turning my face away feeling embarrassed I decided to change the subject, "Is Inuyasha a demon to?"

Sesshomaru snorted, "He's half demon."

I was very interested, "So Kairi is a quarter demon?"

"Correct," he said as he took another sip of the ice cold beer.

"Do you really trust me this much I mean you're telling me a big secret," I said amazed.

Sesshomaru gave me a smirk, "I know I can trust you Rin and I want you to know that you can trust me too."

I gave him a serious look, "I think I met Naraku today."

His expression suddenly turned grim. "Naraku's dead."

"The Naraku I saw today looked exactly like the Naraku from my dream. Sesshomaru maybe he's a reincarnation. I kinda also roughed him up a little." I looked away from his eyes.

Sesshomaru grabbed my chin roughly turning my face back toward his. "Rin what the hell is wrong with you? You could have been hurt or worse." I could tell from his tone that he was angry.

I looked at him defiantly, "I can take care of myself! I don't need you to you to protect me from everything."

How dare he lecture me like a little kid. I was a grown woman. I was just fine before he showed up.

Sesshomaru had an annoyed look on his face, "I think we should go it's getting late."

He threw a hundred dollar bill on the table. Roughly grabbing my hand he dragged me out of the café.

We got outside and I jerked my arm away from him.

He looked surprised that I jerked away from him. "Rin get on my bike and let's go."

Oh hell no he was not going to boss me around. How dare he think it's okay to talk to me like that. I walked towards the phone booth; if he was going to act like a jerk I would just call my old boss Kiri. We were good friends; if I needed help she would definitely come.

But before I could get to the phone Sesshomaru grabbed my arm and turned me around. If he didn't look pissed before he definitely did now. He backed me up against the wall of the café.

He wasn't the only one pissed, "Let go of me Sesshomaru before I scream!"

Sesshomaru's eyes flashed a red color, "Don't walk away from me Rin!"

I was outraged, "Excuse me? I can walk away from you if I want to and there's not a damn thing you can do about it."

He growled I was about to tell him to let me go again but before I could his mouth was on mine. I struggled against him but he wasn't letting go of my arm. Each second it was harder and harder to pull away from him. I just wanted to melt in his arms, and so I did. I know I was being a pushover but the way his lips felt against mine was amazing. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me tight against him. My breasts brushed against his hard chest. He bit my lip and I gasped giving him entrance. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rolled my hips. He groaned into my mouth sending vibrations down my body. I shivered from the pleasant vibrations then wrapped my legs around his waist. He thrust into my center. I could feel his man hood and moaned in return.

Before we could go any further a bell sounded. It was a couple walking out of the café. They looked shocked seeing my and Sesshomaru's positions. Right away I pulled my legs away from his waist. The couple walked off to their car. Feeling embarrassed I hid my face in Seshomaru's chest. He chuckled and I could feel the vibrations from it.

I looked up at him and sighed "I'm sorry. I know it was wrong of me to go to Naraku and deal with him by myself. But you have to understand I couldn't just let him get away with hurting my friend. He did something awful to her and I couldn't just forgive that."

He grabbed my face gently and moved it up so I was looking into his beautiful golden eyes. "I shouldn't have gotten that angry and for that I apologize."

I was surprised that he had even apologized I wasn't expecting it, but I appreciated it. I gave him a kiss and then pulled away. "What do you say we get back it's getting late?"

Sesshomaru nodded his head in agreement and we got on his motorcycle and drove off.

Little did we know two red eyes were hidden in the darkness watching us.
