Rin was taking a bath when it finally hit her. Shin took her first kiss. She didn't know whether to be mad or happy. On one side she was mad because she hoped one day Sesshomaru was her first kiss. On the other hand she was starting to kinda like Shin and was glad it was him.

She hadn't seen Lord Sesshomaru since she got to the castle . Those 3 days seemed like years to her. Rin should've been used to not seeing Lord Sesshomaru but she couldn't help but feel like she was a bother to him now. Thats probably why he was ignoring her.

Yet Shin was always showering her with attention. Now he had kissed her and she didn't know what to think. Rin thought back to all the times Shin had made her laugh or blush and couldn't help but smile. Shin didn't make Rin feel like a burden instead he made her feel like a princess.

Sighing Rin decided it was time to get ready. She always dressed nicer for Dinner just in case Lord Sesshomaru showed up by any chance. Rin picked out a Red Kimo with small white flower designs .

Rin looked at her hair and grabbed a brush Kagome had given her from her time. They seemed to work better for Rins long thick hair. Inuyasha had tried to cut it when she was smaller but Kagome said no claiming her hair was too pretty cut . Kagome would cut the ends of her hair every few months claiming they were dead and if I let them like that it would be harder to comb my hair.

When rin was finished she looked in the mirror. Her hair wasn't completely dry yet but it looked okay. Rin had decided to leave it plainly down knowing both Sesshomaru and Shin liked her hair down. She also wore the perfume Kagome got looked nice on Rin, it was Lord Sesshomaru's present from when he had picked her up at Kaede's village. She debated whether or not to wear the necklace that came with the kimo but decided against it. It was too much for a simple dinner.

Rin heard someone knock on her door and said "Come in".

"Rin its time to come down for dinner" Ami said poking her head through the door.

"Okay I'll be right down Ami "

Sesshomaru was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Just thinking about seeing Rin made him smile. His demon hadn't said much since Sesshomaru decided he was going to talk to Rin. He was finally at ease.

He slowly made his way to dinner. The chamber he usually resided in was next to Rin's but Jaken had suggested to move to his other chambers when his demon was starting to get out of control. Of course he complied , Sesshomaru swore he would always protect Rin. Even if it was from himself. The great Lord of the West never went back on his word.

Earlier Lord Sesshomaru heard Shin had to go deal a Eastern demon that was crossing into his lands. Sesshomaru didn't ask why he wasn't told about the situation but he knew the answer. He would've sent Shin anyway.

What did surprise Sesshomaru was when he asked what had Rin done the past 3 days everyone told him the same thing. Rin was with Shin . Of course he was furious but he knew it was also his fault . If he hadn't decided to ignore Rin, she would've spent more time with him then with Shin. He wasn't mad at either of them but his demon wanted to rip Shin's throat out. He ignored him of course and convinced him that if he killed Shin , Rin would never forgive him.

Instead he started thinking of what he was going to tell Rin and what he would do to convince her to be his mate. When a demon finds his mate it doesn't mean the female has no say on whether she wants to spend her entire life with him. If Rin doesn't want to Sesshomaru cannot force her to be. On the other hand if she agrees they will be mated for life . Rin would age as Sesshomaru does meaning she would never die unless he did.

Sesshomaru smiled at the thought of spending the rest of his life with Rin . He had finally gotten to the table and saw Rin wasn't there yet . He took his seat and waited for his mate.

Shin was making his way to where everyone sensed the demon. He was disappointed he couldn't make it to dinner but knew he would be back after . Shin wondered if someone had told Rin where he had really gone. He had told Ami , Rin best friend, to tell her he left to go check on a village. Shin knew that if someone told her where he had really gone she would be worried.

Shin honest didn't like to worry Rin. He liked to see a smile on her beautiful face. There was something about her that always seemed to light up the mood. Before she had gotten to the palace ( Castle ) it was a boring , unhappy place. Now that she is back its cheerful . It happened almost overnight.

He laughed when he thought of Rin and Ami. He had heard Ami mother worked for Sesshomaru long ago but passed away when Ami turned 16. She had explained that she and Rin were very close before Sesshomaru had decided to take her to Kaede's village.

When Rin came back and saw Ami she bursted into tears. Shin got worried and asked her was was wrong . Ami and her just laughed at him telling him they were happy tears. They kicked him out of the room so they could catch up .Shin just walked around the garden for hours until Ami came to get him telling him Rin called for him.

Shin spotted the demon they were looking for and snapped out of his thoughts.

" May I asked what your doing in the Western Lands? " Shin asked startling the demon. He heard the demon growl but stayed calm like nothing unusual was happening. Shin raised an eyebrow his green eyes staring the demon down.

Shin saw the demon was about to attack so he moved out of the way. The demon crashed onto the floor unable to catch himself quick enough.

"Tonight you will die. No one makes a fool out of me " The demon growled circling Shin. He pounced on Shin unexpectedly cutting Shin's arm before he could throw him off. Getting up Shin smiled . What the demon didn't know was that his demonic power was slowly fading .

" You're going to pay for that" Shin said an evil smirk appearing on his face.

Rin started walking down for dinner five minutes after Ami told her to go down. She didn't like being the first one at the table . It was awkward for her to wait for everyone to sit down. Ami and all the other servants that cooked were allowed to sit at the table. Lord Sesshomaru ate with them and occasionally talked from what Ami told her. But now he hadn't come for dinner in 3 days and she could tell everyone felt weird.

Slowly she opened the doors that lead to the dinner table stood there in shock. Instead of seeing Shin she saw Lord Sesshomaru sitting in what seemed the usual empty seat. Rin's eyes began to get blurry as tears threatened to spill out. She had really missed seeing him.

Rin still stood there frozen as he got up and started walking her way. The tears she was holding in spilled and she looked down. She needed to stop crying this was probably why he hadn't come to dinner before. Rin felt a hand lift up her chin .

"Rin ? Look at this Sesshomaru . What's wrong? " Sesshomaru took her face in his hands and wiped the tears away with his thumbs.

" I- I missed you !" Rin blurred out and hugged Sesshomaru . She buried her face in his could feel Sesshomaru freeze then slowly hug her back.

"Rin I'll explain why I wasn't around after dinner . Right now I want you to eat and calm down. I'm not going anywhere."

Rin sighed and nodded. She backed away and looked at Sesshomaru. His eyes were locked on hers . She broke eye contact after a few minutes and went to sit down.

"Ami bring Rin her food " She heard Sesshomaru tell Ami from behind her as she took her seat.
