I am not getting good reviews on my kind of oneshot " Heart of the Matter"and for my pretear stories but I guess that some of you don't like pretear oh yeah... never mind. bye.!
The castle had a kind of cheerful buzz to it now that the little kid fox demons arrived at the castle that noontime. The maids and butlers enjoyed hearing there laughs and cries of happiness while playing in there rooms and they wondered when Lady Rin would have childern of her own. They loved to clean there sheets and drapes as they watched them play happily in there bed chambers.

Rin slowly closed the door as she smiled to herself then giggled from Sesshomaru's response. He was obviously happy. Well happy to him in seeing Rin smiling. She sighed before ruffling her kimono before walking down the gold and white painted walls. She walked down the hall and then down three sets of stairs before she made her way to the dinnning hall where she found Kenshi and Kimiko nowhere to be found. She then saw Ms. Kara walk into the room.

", Ms Kara. Can you please go get the childern. They will starve if they don't come down soon. It may be hard to get them to leave though." said Rin as she laughed at the thought of them saying they wouldn't come down.

", I shall see to it mi'lady.", said Kara as she made her way out of the room towards Kimiko and Kenshi.

Rin walked towards the table as she saw enough seats for four. Noodles and rice balls were layed out before her. Tea and grapejuice set nice and neat. Decorative platters of sliver and black with pinewood chopsticks. The room was fairly big. It had a lot of tables but this one was just for them. It had beauitful lighting and a little stage in the corner for music. Japanese symbols lined the walls as a trim as the rest as a light yellow. Rin then walked over to the brown tall chairs and outlined the carvings of them. She smiled to herself as she thought of that cute little chair the fox demons adoptive parents had. She then turned her bright face into a slight smile as she thought of there deaths. They were probably buried by now.

", At least they had a good life and now know there childern are safe.", said Rin as her senses told that Sesshomaru was coming and as well as she knew him he came into the room seconds later.

", Taking a break love.", said Rin as she smiled towards him.

", Hai...where are...those demon childern. ", said Sesshomaru as he knew he never did want to learn there names much.

", You've heard me call to them Sesshomaru...Kimiko and Kenshi. ", said Rin as she sighed.

", Hn.", said Sesshomaru as if on cue heard there voices.

", You know...they depend and look up to you Sesshomaru. I told you this before. I know it will take time. That's why I am depending on you to. I love you..as always.", said Rin as they shared a quick kiss before the kids entered the room then stopped in there tracks.

", Are we interrpupting something? Why do ya two look so happy?", asked Kenshi as he smiled.

", They love each others! Yay!", said Kimiko as a light blush came to Rin's cheeks and Sesshomaru turned his gaze somewhere else.

", ummmm I don't think that was very nice young ones.", said Ms. Kara as they looked up at her.

", Okay...sorry!", said them together as they ran towards the table.

", Did you wash your hands and face?", asked Rin as they nodded there heads.

", Good afternoon Lord Sesshomaru.", said Kenshi as he smiled.

", Good afternoon.", said Kimiko quietly as Rim smiled before pointing a little to the table.

", Sit down now. You can eat then go take your nap.", said Rin as they giggled before climbing on the chairs and gasping at the food that was layed out before them.

", Yay food!", they said before they digged into there food.

Rin watched as she sliently ate her food. Sesshomaru not eating clearly telling her that he had already eaten. A few moments later, they were done there food and stuffed. There eyes slowly closing.

", Naptime.", said Rin as she got up and picked up Kenshi, suprised to see Sesshomaru pick up Kimiko before they made there way to there rooms. Sesshomaru went inside Kimiko's room and indeed saw that it was fit for a girl. His servants had done well. He tried to place Kimiko down only to discover that she wouldn't let go of his neck. That made him very uncomfortable. She had an iron grip so he just tried to place her on the bed again. Rin walked in and giggled as she saw the sight before prying Kimiko's tiny fingers off of Sesshomaru who just watched as she placed them on the bed.

", Yeah, forgot to tell you she has that grip of hers. Never fails I guess. They should wake up around three. They sleep for three hours.", said Rin with pride as Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

", You have cared for them before?", asked Sesshomaru although he knew the answer but wanted her to tell him.

", hmmm prying answers now eh, well...yes..when there adoptive parents were alive I use to watch them while there parents went away or went to work. There real parents left them at the village gate three years ago. ", said Rin as Sesshomaru nodded.

", I gave Kenshi a play sword...", began Sesshomaru.

", Yes., with an engraving. Do...you...really mean that...Sesshomaru?", asked Rin as she waited for his answer as they made there way out of the room and down the hall.

", It is my knowing only. He seems strong for his age. He will make a good private in the battle feild.", said Sesshomaru as rin turned to him.

", Yes..but he will also make a good person in a lot of different things to. He seems to like making battle plans and trainning his toy soilders he has. Only time will tell.", said Rin as she then saw a glint in Sesshomaru's eye. It was beginning to get cold and Rin was planning to go outside so she went back to her chamber only to see that all her things were in Sesshomaru's room.

", I'm not even going to ask...", sighed Rin as she walked in and digged through her drawer to find a better outer kimono to wear. She felt Sesshomaru's eyes on her back as she thought to herself. Then it it her. It was the beginning of May...mating season. She knew that his desire was starting to show and mating season was next week. It was a good thing that Kara and some other maids were taking the childern out for a couple of days.

She found a dark blue one and slipped off her old one before putting on the dark blue on then turned around.

", Trust me...I know you can't wait...I intend to make your desires complete. No other will give you what you want better than I. You can wait until it begins I'm sure...", whispered Rin as she felt his arms incircle her waist. She leaned into his touch as she heard him speak.

", I can take you whenever I choose to do so. The way you captivate my gaze so much it's hard to resisit you..", whispered Sesshomaru as he heard her heart quicken.

", I see...oh Sesshomaru...", whispered Rin as she laughed in his embrace. This demon that won her heart with no intention on doing so caused her so much pain...so much need...yet so much strength.

He was her light that she saw in times of danger. A handsom demon among evil. His heart was destined to forever remain ice. But when Rin came into his heart and mind he melted it completly. She was so special to him. She didn't even know how much he would sniff and sense her smell to make sure she was happy and unharmed. How he could drown in her scent forever. His demon side thrashing wildly to come out and take her sweet body.

", I will never forget the day you saved me...for all my life I have been thinking about what to give you as a token back. But since I love you it doesn't matter. I want to live my life next to you...help you with all of your questions and problems. Make you stronger my each passing day. I may not be as lady like and proper as uptight ladys of the lands but I can try.'', said Rin as she looked into his eyes. Warmth and confusion stared back at her ax he couldn't believe what she was doing. Rin was...giving herself to him...without protest...willingly. Oh Kami...he would die without her this much he knew. He could wait to make her apart of his mind and soul...and those days where fastly apporching.

Slowly...the week of mating began to make it's first peeks of light into the lands as the couple stayed true to there choice.


I hope you all like it. I don't think Sesshomaru is out of character but just showing his new feelings towards Rin. I bet you all know what the next chapter will be ( lemon) so for those who agree good. others...well...bye...see you next time! -
