Sesshomaru reluctantly pulled his lips away from Rin's. He watched her eyes flutter open and closed, changing from brown to violet. This worried him, but the knowledge that she loved him overwhelmed all other thoughts. 'She loves me… But is this a reaction from the transformation? The transformation…how did it stop? Ah-ha! Now I can ask her.' Before he could ask, she kissed his face, all over. He felt her warm lips trailing along his jaw line, on his cheek, pressing softly against his lips. Inuyasha and Kagome stood a few feet away, in utter confusion. Ah Un wasn't even paying attention, and Jaken, his jaw was dropped. After a few moments of Sesshomaru and Rin staring into each others eyes, Jaken burst out in a line of incomprehensible babbling.

"But, but, my, my, MY LORD?!?! LORD SESSHOMARU??! Rin! WHAT!!" That was really all anyone could get out of Jaken's rant. Inuyasha burst out laughing, a complete belly roll of a laugh.

"Inuyasha! Stop laughing, its romantic!" Kagome, slapped him on the arm. He choked on his laughter, just long enough to speak.

"Kagome, how is that romantic? She tried to kill him! Now they're sucking on each others face? Yeah that's really romantic. She's a half breed now, like me, but even a lesser form. He hates half breeds, now he's in 'love' with one. Its ironic, not romantic." Inuyasha said, then he laughed again. He slapped his knee, and nudged Kagome's arm. Sesshomaru wouldn't allow Inuyasha's smart remarks get to him. Rin would though, she looked down at her feet. Sesshomaru thought she might be embarrassed of him. He let his arms drop to his eyes, as he took a step away, Rin grabbed hold of his clothing, holding him in place. Her eyes fluttered violet. She raised her head and turned toward Inuyasha, with a wave of her hand a lash of power slapped him across the face.

"Inuyasha, it is romantic if you take the time to let it sink into your thick skull. I was out of control, just like you in your demon form. Your mind is gone, you can't control your body. I was vaguely aware of myself every now and again. I would wake to find I had hurt Sesshomaru, you brother. Your flesh and blood. You two may not get along, but he came to you. In a desperate situation, to save my life, when he could have left me for dead. He's not as uncompassionate as you may think." Her eyes fluttered back to brown. She took a step away from Sesshomaru and towards Inuyasha. "I was so out of it. I was fighting it with all my strength, I couldn't stop myself. I couldn't understand what anyone was saying. It was all white noise. I could hear voices, but nothing was clear. I could hear the roar of the demon in my head. It blocked out everything." Sesshomaru raised his head, intently staring at the back of Rin's head. "But, Inuyasha… Even with the roaring of the demon, there was one thing I heard loud and clear. When he said he loved me, everything snapped back into place. I gained control of the demon. His voice wasn't even raised. But it echoed through my head louder than the demon." Rin allowed a tear to slide down her cheek. "It was romantic to me. Ironic yes, but more romantic than you've ever been to Kagome. I love Sesshomaru, like you love Kagome. The romance broke the spell. I know that. More than I know my own name." Rin turned on her heel and ran into the woods. Sesshomaru was stunned. He let her go, she needed a moment, even he knew that. She'd never been so outspoken.

"She's right Inuyasha. Why can't you be romantic like your brother?" Kagome snapped at him. "Inuyasha, sit boy!" Inuyasha was slammed into the ground. You could hear his muffled yelp from the ground. Sesshomaru never took his eyes from where Rin had disappeared into the woods.

"She's right Inuyasha, any time I showed affection towards her as the demon took control. She'd calm down. She'd go to sleep. I'm sure some affection towards Kagome, a few sweet words, a fleeting kiss, and brush of hands, would keep your face in one piece. When you hurt her, she makes you sit, which I'm sure hurts. Eventually, your going to break something. Maybe your nose, maybe her heart, and maybe your own." With that said, Sesshomaru was ready to find Rin. He'd leave Inuyasha to whatever Kagome had in store for him.

"Wait, Sesshomaru! Please wait, please, give these to Rin. She needs it." Kagome said as she ran towards Sesshomaru. He stopped dead in his tracks. He'd accept these gifts from Kagome if they were for his sweet Rin. As Kagome reached his side, she dug around in her yellow bag. He turned his head towards her, but his body remained facing towards the woods. He was just itching to find Rin and set everything strait. Kagome handed him a black purse, a heavy black, leather purse. It was even bigger than her yellow bag, he didn't know how she fit it all in there. He inspected the contents of the purse, most of which were completely foreign to him.

"Thank you Kagome, I'm sure she'll be very appreciative. I know we are on opposite sides of the spectrum, so to speak. But I appreciate it, and I know Rin cares for you. In some little way." He actually smiled, just barely a hint of his fangs showing. "I don't understand mortals, but I'm trying. Demons are different, and I hope Rin won't change too much. I love her just the way she is." Kagome stared up at him.

"You really do love her don't you? You'd die for her, at any given second. If it meant saving her life, you'd sacrifice yourself, because you love her." Kagome asked, staring at him, eyes intent on an honest answer.

"Yes, Kagome, as I've said before, I would die for her. Even if she didn't love me, because I love her." Sesshomaru lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"Sesshomaru, you said demons and humans…are different. Your right, but emotions stay the same. You're a demon, and she loves you. She's… well, human, and now a demon, in a way. I don't really understand it. But I do understand emotions. Human or demon, they stay the same. Human or demon, she loves you. Human or demon… she loves you." Kagome put her hand on his arm, turning him towards her. She was surprised he allowed it. "Would you give her this as well?" She placed a pulled a ring off her finger. It was really a simple ring, a simple silver band, with scales etched into it, like a snakes' scales, or a dragons. "Don't give it to her until your ready. She'll know what it means. It isn't a gift from me. It's a gift from you."

"Again, thank you Kagome. But what does this mean?" he seemed so uncertain, of anything. Except he loved Rin, it seemed like that's all he knew was a real tangible thing in this world.

"She'll know Sesshomaru. All you have to do is ask."

He'd found her, and she knew it. She could sense him, more so than ever before. She could feel his power emanating from all around. Something was troubling him, she couldn't blame him. She'd been pretty frustrating for these past few weeks. She took a look at her reflection in the pond she sat by. There was blood running down her cheeks from where she'd scratched herself. Her hair was matted, god she wanted a hairbrush. Her dress was wrecked. Kagome had given it to her, and she'd destroyed it. She knew… that even though the demon was sleeping now, it'd be back. She didn't even trust herself around Sesshomaru. With a sigh of frustration, she splashed the cool water with a slap of her hand. She heard Sesshomaru land lightly on the ground behind her.

"Rin." When she turned around, he held out a black purse. Something that looked like it was from Kagome's time. "Kagome asked me to give this to you." She stood on shaky knees and grabbed the bag with shakier hands.

"Thank you, My Lord." Rin said as she half sat and half fell on the ground. She took out the contents of the purse one by one. Shampoo, Conditioner, razors, she remembered how to use all these things. Makeup, and two different outfits. A pair of black jeans, a black skirt, a red tank top, a purple tank top, and a black sweater, two bras, and two pairs of underwear. She had no clue how to wear the underwear, there was just a little lacy string in the back. Oh well, she'd figure it out. Shoes too, black flats, red flats, and a pair of black heels. She'd remembered Kagome showing her these things before, but she had never worn heels. She pulled out a really small towel, and oh thank heavens, a hair brush.

"Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru said as he leaned against a tree, Rin looked up at him in confusion.

"What?" Rin asked.

"Sesshomaru, call me Sesshomaru. It is my name after all." He said with a smile, his eyes shut and his fang glinting in the moonlight.

"Okay Sesshomaru. I'm just going to wash up, if that's okay with you." She said.

"You don't need to ask my permission Rin. Go ahead." Sesshomaru slid into a sitting position. "Take your time, I am in no rush." Rin nodded her head.

"Thank you Sesshomaru." She pulled off her clothes and waded into the water. Which was surprisingly warm against her cool skin. She sank into the water, going completely under. When she resurfaced, she shook out her hair, pulling out the pony tail she always wore, and gasped for air. Sesshomaru turned, the water lever was just above her chest.

"Sesshomaru, could you hand me those things, the two bottles and that bar. Yes, and the pink package with orange things in it and silver blades. Yeah. Thanks" Rin washed and conditioned her hair, and scrubbed herself down as well as she could. She shaved everywhere just as Kagome had told her how. When she was finished, she soaked in the now cool water. Sesshomaru couldn't take his eyes off of her. Not like this, she was so vulnerable. With her back turned to him, she rose from the water, which stayed at her waist line. Her hair plastered to her back from being wet and water dripping back into the pond. She turned her head, looking over her shoulder at him.

"Sesshomaru, I want you to teach me to love." Rin said. Her voice barely above a whisper. How could he refuse her?
