Sesshomaru could feel her even breathing while her head was nestled into his neck, his hand tracing lazy patterns on her bare back. He sighed, wishing she would wake up, her light breathing showing she was stirring awake. She looked up and smiled when she saw his own eyes watching her, his own inner pondering evident on his face.

Rin felt a shock course through her as she saw a man with tentacles spearing Sesshomaru before ripping him apart, making her grip the sheet tightly as she tried to shut her eyes to block out the vision, only making it worse. She wasn't aware how long she was sitting like that until she heard Sesshomaru call her name and felt him shaking her slightly.

"Rin, What is it? You went pale as a ghost and started shaking" he said softly, holding her tightly when she threw herself at him to assure herself he was safe. He grasped her arms and moved back so he could see her face. "Rin, what is wrong?"

She focused on his face before wiping her own face clear of any tears that may have slid down her cheek. "I saw…something horrible Sesshomaru. It had so many….things, all slimy and they ripped you apart." He tipped her face upwards slightly before focusing on her eyes.

"Rin…..are you telling me you SAW something? As in a vision something?" he asked softly, sighing when she nodded. He moved from the bed and grabbed a pair of pants and threw a top on. "Rin, get up and get dressed, I need to take you to my father. He may have an explanation or something" he said, handing her a change of clothes.

He moved towards his car with his hand on her lower back, propelling her to keep up with his pace. Once he got her seated in the car, he ran around to the driver's side and got in. Locking the car doors he started his car and took off for his father's.

Sesshomaru didn't care that it was only just a little past midnight when he knocked on his father's door, nor did he car that the scent of mating was emanating from the door. Inutaisho opened the door and was clear on his face Sesshomaru interrupted something. "What is it Sesshomaru?"

He pushed his way in, tugging Rin in after him and stood facing his father. "What do you know of Seers? You once told me about crystal gazers but I do not recall you saying anything about Seers" Sesshomaru stated, moving Rin to stand before him. "Rin saw something, something bad and she is clearly unable to handle what she sees"

Inutaisho's gaze fell on Rin's, as if drawing her to him with such ease. "Let us see what it is she saw" He said softly, his eyes probing her mind for an answer to this predicament they found themselves in. "She sees Naraku in his true form. In your haste Sesshomaru, you will fall at his hands." Inutaisho looked at his son before catching Rin when she fainted. Inutaisho escorting Sesshomaru to the guest house so they would be undisturbed for the night.

Sesshomaru was watching her stir restlessly, before she sat up slowly complaining she was overheated. Sesshomaru moved to grasp her arm when his eyes widened as she started to transform into a dog with fur as black as the midnight sky. He called her name softly, only for her to lunge at him, pinning him to the ground. Sesshomaru growled warningly at Rin for her to back off and submit to her Alpha mate. Rin merely snapped her jaws and advanced.

Sesshomaru shoved her off of him and shifted into his own form which was much larger than her own, his presence instinctively attempting to force her submission. Rin lunged at her mate once again only for Sesshomaru's powerful jaws to lock on the back of her neck as his paws shoved her down to the ground, his length sliding into his mate with ease.

Rin whimpered as the heat she was experiencing fanned slightly while her mate moved within her body. Sesshomaru's jaws keeping her pinned while his hips continuously thrust into her. Sesshomaru's hips stilled against his mate as Rin felt her mate's length swell and knot within her as she lay flat on the ground when he released her neck.

They lay in their dog forms for several minutes before he softened enough to pull from her as they shifted back to their human appearance. Rin glanced at Sesshomaru and immediately regretted her lack of control. "Sesshomaru….The scratches, I am sorry" she said as her fingertips caressed the lines gently. Sesshomaru merely moved her hand from them and stood, helping her up.

"It happens during mating season Rin, every year the two mates become aggressive." He said softly, moving her to their bed. He pulled the covers over her and made his way to the window, glancing out as his eyes swept the area, taking in every inch of the surrounding.

He could feel his energy draining and knew this was the moment Naraku would strike, as his own strength would be stronger than Sesshomaru's. He sighed, he was once again forced to seek safety of his father's home. He glanced at Rin, for her sake, he would beg his father for help if it meant guaranteeing her safety.

He pondered on how far they came, the first time he met her she was a virgin human which went against everything he stood for. But from the first time she met his gaze, he felt that pull and now here he was, sacrificing everything for her. He was determined to not let Naraku near his mate, especially not when she was so fearful of what she had seen. He could only hope that when the time came, her instincts as a dog demon would kick in, she would be even stronger if she were a full dog demon.

But Sesshomaru couldn't be too choosy as at least she was able to shift and gain a temporary boost in power. He was going to need her strength and would even come to rely on it greatly. Rin yawned as she woke after having slept for a long while, her eyes falling on Sesshomaru staring out the window. "What is it Rin?" he asked softly, sensing she was awake.

"Something is coming Sesshomaru, I can sense it. I don't understand any of this, how is it that I can sense things" she asked, taking her lap top when Sesshomaru handed it to her. She opened it and signed into it before opening her file with her story in it. She started typing away and sighed when Sesshomaru left the room to give her some peace and quiet.

Rin lost track of time by immersing herself into her story, stretching she glanced at the clock and set her laptop down before getting up and putting a robe on. She made her way down the stairs to the kitchen and was surprised to see Sesshomaru's father sitting at the table instead of her mate.

"Where is Sesshomaru?" She asked before she moved to the table to open the bag he left for her breakfast. Inutaisho explained that he had an errand to run and would be back soon. Rin ate her breakfast and went back up the stairs to work on her the rest of her chapter. Quickly editing it she emailed it to Miroku for a final opinion.

She had just closed her laptop when the door to the bedroom opened and Sesshomaru walked in, shutting the door behind him. He moved to the bed and sat down before meeting her gaze, "Rin, you and I must have a talk. It is of dire importance and cannot be prolonged."

Sesshomaru took her hand and placed it on his lap before contemplating his words. "Rin, as I am newly mated my strength right now is at its lowest due to the amount of energy I gave to you during mating." He said, almost as if it pained him to admit to his weakness, Rin took his cheek and met his gaze directly.

"I already know Sesshomaru. I did my own research into Dog demons such as yourself, I know how the mating mark works, the transfer of demonic energy and I even understand now why I can see things and shift. It is all in order to protect my mate until he is powerful enough to return to full power." She said softly, Sesshomaru sighed in relief at having not lay his weakness out in the open.

"I will keep you safe Sesshomaru, after all It is you I inherited my brutality from is it not?" she said, laughter filling her voice as he smirked. "All I am I got from you, so that means I can tap into the strength to go with it." Rin said.

She felt herself pulled into his embrace and she rested her head on his chest. "I emailed my chapter to Miroku, I don't know if all that work made a difference or not in my erotica, but I guess we will see when he reads it and emails me back." Sesshomaru brushed a hair from her face before kissing her gently.

"You will do great Rin. Besides, if you need more practice for your writing I am entirely at your service little one." He said with a chuckle as he pulled Rin on top of him, reclining back so he was flat on his own back with her perched atop him. Rin laugh before swatting his shoulder.

"You are incorrigible Sesshomaru" she said softly, before Sesshomaru pulled her down to lay claim to her lips. His hands shifted along her back before settling on her waist, rocking her along his body. She moaned softly before pulling back when her phone made a sound indicating an incoming text. She leaned down and kissed Sesshomaru softly. "I should see who it is" she whispered before pulling away, despite his attempts to pull her back.

"It's Miroku, he said he loved the chapter, it had much more detail and he was impressed." Rin said quickly, she was speaking so fast that Sesshomaru had to claim her lips in deep kiss to silence her ramblings. "I'm Sorry, was I rambling?" she said softly.

"Yes, but now that I have you where I want you…." He broke off when her lips touched his own. He nuzzled his nose into her delicate throat, chuckling when she giggled. Rin was truly a force to be reckoned with, she just didn't see it yet.
