Bonjour~ I apologize for taking so long to update. College life has really picked up, plus I was involved in a car accident (I'm fine, but the car of the woman who hit me was totaled! That what she gets for texting and driving!), not mention several family emergencies with my father, nephew, mother, and granny (who was in a wreck yesterday because of an idiotic motorcyclist that nearly ran head on into her so she slammed on her brakes. A poor 11-year-old girl on a four-wheeler ran into the front of my granny's truck from her yard which was horrible so I am asking several people to pray for her and her family, or if you're atheist to keep the girl in your thoughts).

It has literally just been one thing after another. x_x Just ask ILikeCheetos!

Time for review answers:

Ms90sGirl: Thank you! And it's fine. Normally I just review and say, "Hey, I love this story," because it always makes the writer happy. And I love to hear from my readers. :D You caught onto that, did you? There is a hidden plot/thing to it. o.o You will just have to continue reading to see what it is! And thanks. I'm glad to hear that! Enjoy this chapter...but don't hate me at the end...

Misstwilightfan: Thank you for reviewing, and don't worry about it! Power going out and things like that happen to the best of us. Haha. Sounds like day in my normal life outside of these stories! Thank you! I am so glad that you like it. :D Don't worry, I will continue to update as much as I can!

crazykens: It's Sara, she would not care. Too psychotic, my darling. But I agree. Kind of wish she would stop being a b****, but that would mess up the plot. :P As usual, I love hearing for you! Enjoy this chapter and don't murder me at the end.. Or else I'll have to hide somewhere!

Taraah36:Yes, it truly is a sad flashback, and makes me sob like a baby every time I write it or read (How pathetic is that?). Now he has a chance to actually be with her and this time not lose her to a psycho demoness who wanted her powers. And we both know that he going to try to protect as much as he possibly can with all the drama coming their way! You're right. It's not Rae's fault but she will blame herself because she believes that since Rin IS a human who was born of a demoness that the Council would be able to save her. But that is neither here nor there. Aww, I truly hope so! I have always looked forward to your reviews. Please enjoy this chapter...and don't kill me later on. I think you should remember what will happen at the end of this chapter...

Golden pools of liquid amber glared heatedly at the ceiling as if everything was the ceiling's fault. It had been exactly one month since Rin returned to school. A month since Sesshomaru began travelling and wandering around the city more often, trying to figure out his thoughts on the beautiful human who plagued his thoughts. It was so frustrating and infuriating. One moment he wants to devour her. The next he wants to pull her into his arms, hold her small frame against his larger one, kiss her and be everything she wants.

With a scoff, the inu-daiyoukai pushed himself off of his silky bed sheets and walked to the French doors that led to his balcony above the garden. Giving a gentle turn to the knobs, he opened the doors and stepped outside into the cool night air. He took a deep, long breath before turning his gaze upwards, looking at the crescent moon above.

'Riiiiiiin,' his inner demon purred within the depths of his mind, aching for the young human. Oh, how he wanted her. How he craved her. It was pathetic and disgusting. Such a regal and powerful demon like himself did not yearn for simple humans.

Snarling and growling his fist connected with the granite railing that wrapped around the balcony. It cracked and groaned in protest to the abuse that continued to rain down on it. The pale knuckles continuously colliding the hard stone until there was nothing left except for dust and his eyes no longer bled red. His fist that pummeled the stone was soaked in his blood before the wounds slowly began the healing process, closing up until there not a trace.

His thumbs and forefinger pinched the bridge of his nose while he breathed slowly and deeply. About two weeks ago he had asked Rin to become his girlfriend, the first step to the courting process of his kind. The petite female has beamed him and almost tackled him to the floor in her enthusiasm. It had been a nearly perfect day for both, and Sesshomaru remembered how the light in her eyes shined at him. They had nearly blinded him like her smile.

The great inu-daiyoukai's eyes softened a fraction as he remembered feeling those velvety soft pink lips press against his in a small kiss. He remember how she softly whimpered his name and held him tightly to her as she cried tears of joy and excitement. She was very ecstatic to become his girl. His.

Resisting the urge to sigh mentally and pummel something else in his frustration, Sesshomaru walked back inside of his room where said girl was laying on his bed after a very long night of studying. This was the very first time Sesshomaru had ever brought her to his bedroom. And to be completely truthful, it gave him immense pleasure to see her curled up on his bed with her face buried in his pillow. He knew that in the morning and a few day to follow that it would hold her scent.

Sesshomaru sat down on the edge of the bed and brushed a few locks of her hair out of her face. Those silky strands had someone escaped that intricate braid she had pulled her back into. How they managed that would forever be a mystery to him. But what was even more mysterious was how she could just lay there so innocently, without a care in the world, when at any moment he could kill her.

How the darker part of his being wanted to kill her for making him feel so weak. In all the centuries he had lived there had only been one other who had made him feel this way. She disappeared and Sesshomaru swore to himself he would never allow another to make him feel this protective of them. Yet, here he is five centuries later, caring for yet another human female.

Would she betray him and leave him like she did?


Nearly two months had passed by before anyone knew that it had. It was such an exciting and exhilarating time. This month they were all going to go the dance that school hosted every year. And to say that they were excited and bouncing on the balls of their feet was the understatement of the century. They were exceeding more than excited that there was not even a word that would fit.

"Hey, Rinny!" came Rae's loud voice as Rae tackled her best friend from behind, nearly sending her to the ground.

Rin let out a loud yelp of surprise and was very happy to find out that her best friend's boyfriend, Draco, had purposefully walked in front of her and softened her fall. Both of the girls could not help but laugh at the dragon demon's face. His look was one of cat that had fallen in water. It was the funniest thing to them, especially when he feigned that he had hurt himself catching such a "heavy" load.

With a gentle tug Rin pulled out her headphones after she put her mp3 on "Fuckin' Perfect" by Pink and paused it. She was going to have to listen to that song later.

"So Riiiiiiiinny," Rae drawled out softly, her blue eyes sparkling. "Has Sesshy asked you to the school dance yet?" Normally Rae stayed out of their business, but she was honestly curious. Sesshomaru had been acting strange over the last month, more secretive than usual.

A light blush dusted across Rin's cheek as she began to stammer. How did she explain this to Rae without making it seem like Sesshomaru was avoiding the subject when he was not? "W-Well…uhm…n-not ex-exactly… Heh."

"What do you mean?" Rae demanded, an amber color flashing in her eyes before they returned to their normal blue hue. Icy blue. Never a good sign. Rin, or Sesshomaru, was in trouble.

"Well, what I…uh...m-mean is that w-well... Uh...heh... He sort of just…well... He said that I-I-I was g-going wit-with him," the brunette squeaked and stammered out in embarrassment as she played with the small crescent moon pendant that hung around her neck. Sesshomaru has given it to her as a present, telling her that it would show everyone that she was his girl and that she was off-limits.

In anger, Rae opened her mouth to yell at Rin for allowing Sesshomaru to boss her around. That is, until her eyes landed on the pendant. As soon as she saw it her jaw nearly hit the floor in shock.

"What?" Rin nearly snapped out in annoyance. Ever since Sesshomaru had given her the blasted thing everyone stared at it and her like they were foreign objects or some weird things. It was starting to piss her off.

"D-Did you get that from Sesshomaru?" Rae whispered softly, her eyes never leaving it until Rin nodded her head in confirmation. Squealing excitedly the small blonde nearly tackled the brunette to the ground. "Oh, my kami! Oh, my kami! Oh, my sweet LORD!' Bouncing up and down Rae clutched Rin's hands in her own while Draco stood off to the side staring at Rae as if she was psychotic.

"Rae," Draco calmly called out to her, his silver eyes burning through the two girls.

Rae's head snapped in his direction, her smile wide. "Do you know what this means?!"

Rin just blinked before she quickly stammered out the lame, but honest, excuse that she was going to be late for her next class and bolted down the hallway with a blush still burning her cheeks. She knew that the necklace Sesshomaru had given her was meant to mark her and show all the demons around that he was courting her because it had his family crest on it. A simple blue crescent moon. It was also meant as a way to ward off unwanted attraction from other humans.

It amused her how possessive demons were of their mates, especially the ones that were human. Sighing, she wondered how she was going to make it through the rest of this long day.

The question Rin asked herself was answered as the day quickly by and the next thing she knew was that she was being dragged inside the mall to pick out a dress. She had already caught a quick glimpse of Sesshomaru's outfit so she knew that she needed to find a dress that sort of matched him. The theme for the dance was actually based back in the Feudal Era, which meant that she would have to find a kimono. There was just one problem: what store sold kimonos worthy of a high school dance?

With a frown marring her delicate features, Rin walked from store to store trying to find the right kimono that she wanted to get for the dance but they all looked a little too…skimpy. The girl was just about to give up her fruitless search until one store caught her attention. "Feudal Kimonos" claimed on their sign that they sold the best and most efficient kimonos for any and all events. Shrugging her shoulders she decided that it was worth a try. After all if they did not have anything she could just borrow one of Rae's old kimonos and have it altered to fit her, which she did not want to do.

"Hello?" she called out softly as she walked inside of the very rustic store and looked around for a few moments.

At the beginning of her scanning it seemed that nothing here would work for her. None of them called out to her and she was thinking about just giving up completely. That was when she saw it. She had found the perfect kimono! With a sly grin she determinedly walked over to where it was hanging and her fingers gently caressed the fabric as one would caress their lover. It was so soft.

"Ah, I see you like milady's kimono," chuckled a soft, yet deep male voice. A tall male with long, dark hair and tan skin stood off the side of the kimono, his green eyes sparkling.

"Yes. It's positively beautiful," she whispered in awe.

"Yes, so was milady. Milord had this kimono made just for her the night he intended to mate her. She only wore it once." The demon's voice was soft, sad. "You know you look much like my late lady did when she was around your age."

Rin could not stop the blush that covered her face at the compliment as the demon looked her up and down in an analyzing way. She quickly muttered a quiet "thank-you" to him before she turned her attention back to the kimono.

"Forgive me, I have forgotten my manners. I am Konoharu. And you are?"

"Rin, sir," she said before bowing to him, which he quickly returned the favor.

"Well Miss Rin, how would you feel if I sold you this old kimono?" he asked watching as Rin's face lit up in excitement before it crumbled when she saw the price. His green eyes catching every change. She truly did look like his late lady before she had vanished from his master's home so many years ago. And her kimono deserved to be worn one more time.

"I couldn't possibly afford it," whispered the young woman in regret. After looking longingly at the kimono, she sighed in resignation. Well, there went that one. It was absolutely perfect. If it wasn't so expensive, she would have happily bought it and worn it to the dance.

"I will make you a deal. I'll sell you the kimono for half price if you could supply me with the name of the man who gave you such a lovely pendant."

To say that she was shocked was not even the right word for it. Rin was positively baffled. This man was going to sell her this expensive kimono for HALF of its original price just for the name of her boyfriend? That was unbelievable. There had to be more to it than that.

"Why do you want to know who he is?" Rin asked suspiciously only to look confused when Konoharu smiled at her smugly.

"Because I know of only one who held a pendant similar, ma'am," he chuckled. "Now do you want that kimono or not?"

Rin just sighed. It could not hurt to tell him, could it? "Sesshomaru. His name is Sesshomaru." Her whisper was so soft that she was scared he might not have heard her say it. The blush on her face was actually beginning to seem like a permanent thing. Why was she blushing so much as of late?

With a soft smile Konoharu smiled while gently taking the kimono off its display rack. The tenderness with which he wrapped it surprised Rin as she watched him carefully slip it into the bag, along with a pendant that she did not see because she had turned around. Taking it to the counter, he rang the kimono up for less than half its original price and slipped the money in the register after Rin paid him.

Muttering a quick thanks and giving a small bow, Rin bolted out of the store as Konoharu's piercing green eyes watched her. Soon, very soon, the West would know that their Lady had returned to them. They would all know that their Lord was now no longer alone in this world for he would have his Lady by his side once again.


Squealing in delight and joy, Rin quickly ran to take a shower. It was so odd that the girl was shopping for an outfit at the last minute but she had had no other choice. Today she had just been paid from work, and sadly it had not been as much as she thought it would have been. What could you expect from working under the tables?

Humming an old tune that she had hummed since she was a young child, Rin quickly finished getting ready to go to the dance this evening. The kimono in place, her long ebony hair down, and light, natural looking make-up. She was ready. Rin smiled at herself in the mirror before slipping on the long, elegant kimono-like jacket that would hide her outfit until she took it off. Sesshomaru was going to have a heart-attack when he saw her, she just knew it.

Softly chewing on her bottom lip, the young woman debated on putting on the pendant that had been in the bag with the kimono.

'Should I put it on? I mean…it's very pretty, but I want to wear Sesshomaru's pendant. UGH!' her mind groaned out at her in frustration.

Don't you dare off that crescent moon! I will kill you! …Somehow... was the retort her inner conscience snarled out.

Rin released a soft chuckle and smiled wide before she ran down the stairs of Rae's family's home. Every being who happened to be in the house looked at the young human teenage as she walked into the living room. Her hazel eyes lit up at the sight of her best friend in her own kimono that was handed down through the generations and was, shockingly, in perfect condition. There was not a single thread or scrap of fabric out of place.

"You look so wonderful, Rae," giggled out the brunette as she stared at her best friend in awe.

Rae smiled a dazzling smile, her blue eyes sparkling like sapphires. "You look like a goddess, Rin! C'mon!" she squealed as she dragged Rin out of the house, down the front steps, and straight towards the limo that was waiting there for them. "So are you ready for tonight?"

"Ye-… No..." Rin whispered in complete honesty. She let her head hang down in shame as she sighed. It was true that she was not ready for tonight. She was nervous and anxious.

"I completely understand, Rinny. I'm nervous about tonight as well. But Draco said that he has something planned for later on. That has me so ecstatic!" Rae smiled, bouncing on the leather seat. Her blonde locks flying all around her.

All Rin could do was smile at her friend. She knew exactly what Draco had planned for Rae tonight. Her eyes held amusement as her best friend continued to bounce up and down in excitement, chattering nonstop. Oh, his was going to a night that they would never forget.


Sesshomaru leaned back against the wall with his arms crossed wearing his family's Grand General hakama and haori, white with red honeycomb designs on the shoulder and sleeves. The purple sash around his waist contained a yellow design. (AN: Basically, this is his traditional outfit from the series, MINUS the armor, so I'm not going into detail about it.) The white fluff, his mokomoko that he kept hidden at all times, over his right shoulder had been pulled closer to his body was he waited for his intended to finally make her appearance.

If it was in his nature to groan or show emotions readily, Sesshomaru was sure he would have groaned as he walked over to where his annoying half-brother and said brother's friends were all sitting at. The demon leaned back against the wall near the table, staring at the entrance to the room. He had to resist the urge to head towards them and hunt down his intended mate. Rin was supposed to be here by now, yet she was not.

Right when he was about to start getting ready to leave the doors opened and in walked the most beautiful woman – no, teenage girl, he had ever seen in his life. Her kimono almost matched his, but hers was red, instead of white, with the white crest of his family embroidered on its fabric.

Pride. Sesshomaru felt his pride swell as his golden eyes trailed up and down the beauty in front of him. That is until his eyes landed on the pendant that was resting on top of the seam of the kimono. His eyes narrowed until they looked up into her hazel eyes, those beautiful green speckled brown eyes that belonged to his Rin. His intended mate. His Lady.

The inu-youkai absent-mindedly wondered where his human partner had found that kimono. That particular kimono had been lost to him for many, many years and now he suddenly saw his human wearing it. To say that he was shocked was not even a way to describe what he felt. He was happy to see that it fit her so perfectly.

"Good evening, Lord Sesshomaru," he heard her whisper softly as she bowed slightly towards him, her curtain of black hair falling over her shoulders.

"Lady Rin," he responded and mentally growled in pleasure at the sight of the blush that suddenly painted her pale cheeks. "Stroll with me, my lady." Not a question, a command that was given with his arm offered towards her.

A smile was on Rin's face as she placed her hand in the crook of his arm. With Rin now at his side Sesshomaru led her outside, the night air enveloping them as they walked into the garden that was at the back of the hotel that was hosting the school dance. Its beautiful flowers closed due to the sun no longer being out and the moon shining brightly from above down on the young couple as the young man led his female companion over to a sakura tree nearby. He moved to sit down under its gently swaying branches before motioning for her to do the same, the petals of some of the flowers falling down around them as she sat next to him, a few getting caught in her hair.

After she was seated and comfortable, the silver-haired male pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her to his chest and purring softly. A light blush covered her cheeks before she rested her head against his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his waist so she could snuggle into him. From above them, the full moon smiled, bathing the two in her ethereal light.

"Rin."

"Hmm? Yes, Fluffy?"

Sesshomaru suppressed the growl that always arose when she used that despicable nickname, but he said nothing about it. "What do you believe the pendant I gave you means?"

Rin rolled her shoulders in a shrug, her hand subconsciously reaching up to play with the crescent moon that had been replaced for the night. "I haven't the slightest idea. But for some strange reason demons out in the middle of the street bow their heads to me and move out of my way. It's very confusing and uncomfortable."

"Hn," the demon replied before he nuzzled his nose against her neck, breathing in her unique scent. "It shows that you are my intended."

"Your intended?" Rin questioned softly as she gaze up at him, suddenly wondering if he meant what she thought he meant.

The smirk that curled on corner of his lips could not be stopped thanks to the look on her face. She did not realize how absolutely beautiful she looked with the moon hitting her face causing her eyes to sparkle in a new light, or how the moonbeams reflected and danced against her hair giving her a very angelic appearance that melted his heart. Softly, tenderly, he ran the fingers of one clawed hand through her silky hair.

"My intended maaaate," Sesshomaru state, softly purring out the last part in her ear causing goose bumps to rise up on her skin and her to shiver.

"M-Mate? You mean….," she looked up at him startled, her wide eyes widening even more. He couldn't possibly mean that could he?

Sesshomaru just nipped at the hollow of her throat in response to her startled expression. "Yes. You are my intended mate, or in human terms my wi – "

"I know what it means, Sesshomaru," she whispered cutting him.

The heart in Rin's chest stopped, stuttered, before galloping like a horse in a race from excitement and the sudden adrenaline rush. Everything inside of her was screaming "YES!" and doing cart-wheels, but some other part of her was more reserved and worried about this. The part that protested was quickly shoved away as she was overwhelmed from the happiness sweeping through her. Sesshomaru had just basically proposed to her! But the happiness was soon gone and she looked down, worried.

"Sesshomaru... I-I'd be honored, but…we are moving kind of fast," was her sad whisper. "How do you know that it's what you want?"

There was a very serious look on Sesshomaru's face when she looked up at him. "Your scent." At the confused look on her face, he continued to explain. For someone who was raised around demons, he was surprised she did not know more about their customs and ways. "A demon knows who their mate is by their scent. Once they catch the scent, every primitive instinct takes over and they hunt down the owner of the scent. And," he stopped before he gently pulling down the collar of the kimono, showing a little shadow of a mark on her shoulder, "there's a mark that will show on the intended."

A look of absolute shock crossed the female's delicate features as her fingers came up to caress the ghost mark of a crescent moon that rested on her clavicle, her birth mark. For as long as she could remember she had it. Her brown eyes darted down to look at it before looking at her intended.

"I was always told it was my birth mark," she whispered. It seemed that both her parents and father had lied about that little detail. The question is why.

"It's a mark that shows you are to be the mate of a demon, his other half… his soul mate," the inu-daiyoukai whispered softly while his head leaned down, the tip of his tongue darting out from between his lips to caress the mark… his mark. As if sensing that it's intended was close, the mark became more pronounced against the young woman's skin before golden eyes and a hazel eyes.

Sensing where Rin's thoughts were heading, Sesshomaru released a gentle growl his nose skimming along the tender flesh of her bare throat. There was no doubt in his mind that he would take her and mark her as his for all eternity, but now was not the time. She was not ready for such a commitment yet. He was not going to force this on her. It would be her decision when they would complete the Mating Ritual.

"Not now, maaaaaate," he growled softly against her throat feathering soft kisses up her neck to her ear lobe where he sucked and nipped at the delicate flesh. A small wanton whimper escaped from her as she pressed closer to him, feeling liquid heat warming her belly and working its way down to her core. Why did he have to have such an effect on her?

Swallowing and looking him dead in the eye, Rin searched deep inside of her to find the courage to say what she needed to say. Even though they had only known each other for such a short amount of time, she knew that she was meant to be with him. That she had to be with him.

"What if I want you to mark me as your mate?"

Sesshomaru's body stiffen slightly in shock as he looked at her. Was she saying what he believed she was saying? "Then this Sesshomaru will comply."

All of a sudden a young woman with long, black wavy hair busted out into the area looking highly ticked off. The girl's dark brown eyes held hatred and a deep rooted hurt deep inside their depths. Her kimono was slightly mussed as she ran right past the couple as black haired, dark blue-ish eyed boy in a red haori and hakama pants ran after her. Panic was vibrating in his eyes.

"Kagome, wait!" he yelled out as he quickly began to gain on her retreating figure.

"GO AWAY, INUYASHA!" was the girl's, known as Kagome, response to him. Her aura flaring a bit in anger and pain. She could not believe what he did. The jerk!

"Seems that you have chased yet another female away, brother." Sesshomaru released a quiet chuckle that only Rin heard. The sudden amusement radiating through him surprised her. Sesshomaru was hardly even amused and he certainly never showed it. To hear it in his voice and really the laughter subtly vibrating through him shocked her.

The boy whirled around and his glared at Sesshomaru. The hatred in those dark depths startled Rin. "Fuck you, Fluffy!" Inuyasha hissed out, agony and hatred rolling off him in waves, before he ran off after Kagome in hopes of fixing his mistake and apologizing to her. He had never meant to hurt.

With a gentle sigh, Rin stood up since she knew that the mood between her and Sesshomaru was completely ruined. A smile was sent to Sesshomaru and she motioned with her head that she was going to head back inside. The ghost of a frown that formed on his lips caused her to pause before laughing. He looked so much like a dejected puppy that was denied a treat.

Each time he showed his emotions it warmed her heart more and more. He was such a feeling creature but no one truly knew how much he felt. For that she was glad. She should be the only one who saw this side of him.

"C'mon, Fluffy," the brunette purred out with a wide, toothy grin pulling her lip upwards. "If you take me home, you might get a treat," After saying those words, she bolted because she saw the way that Sesshomaru's amber eyes lit up with something that could only be described as lust and something else that she could not place since it swirled in so deeply with the other emotion.

The demon, in his human disguise, quickly ran after his human companion, making sure to keep his speed to a more humane more so as to not attract unwanted attention. Quickly catching up to her, he pinned her small figured against a wall of the building before he looked down at her briefly. His lips slammed down on hers in a bruising but passionate kiss, showing her the emotions that he could not express otherwise.

He was falling in love with his human mate. That was something that he could not deny as he lifted her form up into his arms and carried her towards the parking lot where he car was. Soon he would be unable to stop himself for falling off the edge and he could only hope that his inner youkai would not allow him to hit the bottom and burn. Hoped that she would not leave him, like she had.

"You shall regret those words, Rin," the dog demon whispered into his human's ear before he gently set her on the passenger seat.

Faster than her human mind could comprehend and her eyes could notice, the silver-haired man was in the driver's seat and driving out of the school in the direction of Rin's house. One of his clawed hands, which still showed even when he was in his disguise, gently reaching up her leg and flicked part of kimono away to expose the creamy skin beneath. He slowly trailed his hand up from her knee feeling her shiver beneath his touch, which in turned caused him to growl his approval and his nostrils to flare at the sudden scent of her heady arousal.

Slowly, oh so slowly, he moved his hand a little higher. His claws gently dragged across the flesh causing goose-bumps to rise. Just the sound of her quiet sigh of pleasure filling the car nearly sent him of the edge. Kami, how he yearned to touch more than just her thigh. He would to bury himself deep inside of her untouched sex and send them both over the edge into oblivion over and over again.

Torturing her this way would sate him from now. From the corner of his eye could see her flush as she leaned her head back against his seat as he continued to stroke her suddenly hot skin with his claws and fingertips. She could not stop shivering and moaning under these innocent touches. It made him feral at the thought of how innocent was, especially when she whimpered under her as he retracted his hand to get out of the car. The gasp she released when he picked her up and carried her out of the car towards the house just about undid all of his self-control.


(LEMON WARNING)

Locking his lips against hers in a kiss, Sesshomaru made his way up to Rin's new apartment he had purchased for her and opened the front door. The demon set his human female down after shutting the door with the heel of his foot and both of them started working at the ties of the other's clothing to get the offensive clothing off. They made their way towards the bedroom just about ripping the clothes off each other. Backs hit walls, bodies molded together with teeth and lips clashing together and tongues battling, and furniture fell and crashed against the floor as they made their way towards the bedroom.

Lifting her up, the youkai quickly laid his intended on the bed in just her bra and panties. His normally cold gold eyes melted to a liquid amber as the slightly bled red, trailing up and down her flushed body. They started from her beautiful eyes to her bright red cheeks, straight down to the tips of her toes.

"Beautiful," he whispered before he leaned down and softly kissed her lips. He wanted to ravish her, attack her mouth with her, but he forced himself to be gentle as he reached around smooth back and skillfully unsnapped her bra. Chunking it across the room, his gaze dropped to her perky, round breasts that caused his mouth to water even more.

The sight of those beautiful globes affected him more than the smell of her arousal. Affected so strongly, he leaned forward and gently took a testing lick at one nipple, feeling and hearing gasp and groan in pleasure. Her entire body heated and moved against his as he began kissing each breast before gently sucking, licking, and biting each mouth.

A throaty moan left the maiden's throat as she squirmed under his body, her fingers slipping into his long, silky silver locks of hair and gripping as his teeth nipped, and his tongue swirled and flicked his mouth sucked and kissed one nipple and his free hand pinched and softly twisted the other one. A smirk crossing his lips before he switched his ministrations to the other breasts, showing it just as much attention as the first. He could feel back arch so she could press herself more firmly against him, her pull his hair but hold him in place. So responsive his little mate was.

The demon's inner youkai growled in approval as the scent of the human girl's thick arousal hit his nose hard, vanilla spice. Reaching a single clawed hand down, he slowly and gently pushed her panties down, watching her reaction. A scarlet red blush painted her normally pale cheeks and her eyes held embarrassment and bashfulness.

With a tenderness that surprised himself he spread her legs and caressed her thighs before looked down at the source of the most mouth-watering scent on this Earth. Already it was dripping, showing her arousal so plainly.

"How wanton our bitch is," Sesshomaru's demon growled out, his fangs enlarged in his mouth before he leaned down slowly, predator-like eyes locked with large doe eyes that widen as the watched him and what he was doing.

First, he stopped moving when he was only a few inches away from her core. He inhaled deeply, his eyes turning hooded and even more red bleeding into their depths at the scent. She smelled so good.

Then the pink muscle, known more commonly as his tongue, slipped out of his mouth and slowly ran from the bottom of her wet sex to the tip where he spread the lips apart with his fingers. The appendage slowly swirled around her precious pearl, every so often flicking against it, as she whimpered softly in her throat, writhing in pleasure. Twirling and flicking faster and faster, Sesshomaru growled in his throat before burying his nose against her hard pearl and speared his tongue lower into her opening, nearly snarling at the taste of her delicate cream.

Rin's scent had been highly addictive when she was not aroused, its sweet vanilla scent constantly calling to him. Now that she was aroused, it was even more addicting with the spicy musky lacing it. The sweetly thick scent wafted inside of his sensitive nose causing a growl to rumble deep in his throat before he thrust his tongue deeper inside of her, pumping it in and out, letting it caress the inner wall of her womanhood. His thumb flicked across her pleasure pearl and moved in little tight circles around it.

Panting and moaning, her head thrashing back against the pillow, Rin squirmed and softly bucked her hips against Sesshomaru as pleasure raced through her blood. That is until a hand firmly held her down and warming growl erupted from him. She yelped out in pain and pleasure, growing wetter, when he nipped gently as her bead before continuing his torture on her, adding one more finger.

Her body felt as if it was on fire. Her eyes were shut so she could hold onto the feeling of his tongue moving around inside of her and his fingers playing her like an instrument, strumming her as she climbed higher and higher. The soft moans and pants only caused his tongue and fingers to move faster and faster.

A tight knot started to form in the pit of the young woman's stomach. She could feel it tightening with each thrust of her lover's tongue and every stroke of his fingers. It was so now coming so tight that she knew something exciting and mind-blowing was about to happen. Gripping the feeling and letting it wrap around her, she felt herself moving closer and closer to something new with each thrust of that devilish tongue until she finally felt herself fall off the precipice. Stars danced across her vision as her back arched and she screamed Sesshomaru's name as she reached her climax.

A smirk twitched at the corners of Sesshomaru's lips as he lapped up her sweet juices feeling like a drug addicted fool. Her taste was addicting. This little human writhing underneath, coming down from her first orgasm, was his addiction. His drug. Most of all, she was his.

"Se…Sessh…Sessho…ma...maru," she whimpered out softly as she gazed at him through half-lidded, loving eyes.

"Rin," he whispered in response before removing his silk boxers with a flick of his wrist. His throbbing member hardening even more at the feeling of being released.

The smirk that spread across his features could not be stopped as Rin's eyes grew wide at the size him. Sesshomaru had been blessed with a rather large endowment that most human men, and demons, would kill to have.

"Having second thoughts, mate?" he asked only to be met with a defiant look.

"Never. I want to do this. I want….to be yours," the girl hissed out before looking back down at the large, intimidating member in front of her. She was extremely curious as to how it was going to fit inside of her. It was so big that she was scared it would rip her apart.

As if sensing her fear, her demon reached down and kissed her tenderly. His amber eyes softening and warming as he caressed her cheek. "I shall be very gentle, Rin-ai. I would never hurt you."

When he saw her give her consent and relax, Sesshomaru gently flipped her onto all fours. The inu-youaki put his human into a positon that his demon wished to claim her in the very first time they join and the girl was actually glad about it. To a demon like him, the position that was made for the actin of mating and was a great honor to the bitch who was put into it for not just any female was claimed in such a way.

The sight of the way her back curved into a perfect arch, the dimples right above her perky rear end, and how her long ebony hair spilled across the pillows and sheets caused the man to harden even more. She was so beautiful. The low light in the room caused shadows to dance across her bare skin. It was breathtaking. Sesshomaru had to take moment to just admire the view of his Rin.

"S-Sessh," Rin whimpered softly as she felt his hard shaft throbbing as it rubbed her nether region. Her body was ablaze and yearned from him with such a powerful and primitive need that it scared her.

"Miiiiine," Sesshomaru suddenly growled, one of his hands resting on her hip and pulling her firmly against him. "Sesshomaru's biiiiiitch will hurt briefly," he muttered gently against her ear as his inner demon clawed to the surface, his elongated fangs scraping back and forth against where his mark would be in a few moments.

Steeling himself both mentally and physically, the demon slowly inched the head of his manhood into the young woman's tight, wet passageway rocking his hips back and forth to help ease whatever discomfort she have felt. When he reached her maidenhead, he grunted and slowly pulled his hips back before thrusting hard, breaking through her barrier feeling her body clamp down hard at the unwelcome intrusion, knowing that a sharp, nearly unbearable pain ripped through her belly.

He trailed soothing kissing up and down her shoulder as she whimpered and cried out quickly. The scent of salt water filling the air.

The searing, red-hot pain hurt so much that she couldn't stop her tears. Soon the pain eased after what felt like an eternity. Awkwardly she wiggled and thrust her hips against his earning a growl from her mate as he showed that he was enjoying those little movements from. A small giggle escaped her parted lips only to be turned into soft moans and mewls as the demon started to thrust into her, pulling her hips back to his thrusts.

Soon the sound of flesh smacking against pervaded the air as Sesshomaru speared into his seemingly fragile human as she begged and cried for him to move faster, harder. Never did he know that a girl – no, that his human could respond to him so eagerly. A small smirk played across his lips as his lover met each of his thrusts with her own and moaned as much of his name as she could.

The way she looked in the moonlight as its beams danced across her skin stole his breath away. Her hair was sprawled out above her writhing body that gave her angelic appearance that seemed more godly than anything. The way her eyes glowed and glazed over with passion, love, and so many other emotions caused his heart to clench tightly and his mind to go fuzzy.

Lips travelled up and down the female's back, shoulders and face. A small growl of approval leaving the male's lips as she dug her nails into his hands that were resting near her face as if she was trying to pull him closer. He leaned over her, pressing his front against her back feeling her clenching tighter and tighter around him.

Another knot began to form in her stomach, startling her with the swiftness of its appearance. The girl knew this time it was going to toe-curling mind-blowing and send her to the sky, and her lover knew it as well. He could feel the tense building in her body and the heat radiating around them both as passion over took them.

Sesshomaru pressed himself firmly against Rin's body as he whispered the words that would be forever burned into both of their minds and his lips, words that only she would hear.

"My Rin, you are mine, now and FOREVER!" His demon hissed in her ear softly as he gave a few more hard, deep thrusts before sweet oblivion over took both of them as they reached their climaxes. Rin screamed out his name at the top of her lungs as he buried his fangs into her delicate neck when he howled his release, growling with the taste of her blood touched his tongue.


(LEMON END)

When the world finally centered and came back to both of them, they moved onto their side with Rin's back pressed firmly against Sesshomaru's chest as he held her possessively to him. A low growl rumbled in his chest while his lips pressed against the mark on her neck, his tongue stroking it.

"I… I love you, Sesshomaru," Rin whispered in the darkness feeling him caressing her side and stomach tenderly.

Right before she slipped in the best she was ever going to experience, the brunette heard her silver-haired loved whisper, "As I love you, my Rin," in her ear.


"Riiiiiiin!" Rin whined pathetically while Rin just continued to ignore her. "Oh, come on. RIn!" You possibly can't still be made at me for that can you?!"

Rin spared her best friend a glance as she adjusted the shirt she was wearing to hide the blue crescent moon mark on her collarbone. Even since Sesshomaru had marked her, all the demons around seemed to move well out of her way, even though at first she did not know that they were demons. Besides that Rae kept moving the shirt to show off the mark as if it was a prize. AND kept dragging on and on about the responsibilities that came with it.

In all honesty, it was scaring Rin. She that she would be in line to be either Sesshomaru's Alpha Bitch and he would have to take a Beta to produce a full-blooded heir, or have to become his concubine even if she was marked as his mate. It hurt her terribly to even think about another woman touching her Sesshomaru. Hurt her a lot more than she originally believed it would, but she continued to hold her head high, leaving an air around her that most thought only an aristocratic person could muster.

"Hey, Rin," came that sickly sweet voice that always caused her to stop dead in tracks, like it just did.

"Hello, Yakunan-san," was her short reply as she continued to walk away.

Ever since both Yakunan and Kohaku had been released from the hospital, they made it their life goal to make her life when Sesshomaru was not around to come to her rescue. Kami, how she just wanted them both to drop off the face of the earth forever so maybe she could without having to stop Sesshomaru from killing them both.

The damn dog was so prideful and stubborn that the only way he would back was when she had to almost beg him to leave them because she did not care what they did. She knew the reason he never wanted to be back down, but she did not care about it. All she cared about was why he finally started backing off and that was good enough for her, or so she believed.

"I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out with me to see a movie or grab a cup of coffee some time," the cat demon began as his blue sapphire eye bore into her green speckled brown ones. His gaze always unnerved her for some reason, same with his aura. "And maybe we could ta-"

"Anywhere that she goes, I accompany her," interrupted the tall dog demon as he walked up behind his human woman. His arm instantly wrapped possessively around her tiny waist, pulling her flush against her side.

A deep blush suddenly covered Rin's cheeks at the close proximity, as it always did when he did something like this.

"Sesshomaru, it's fine," she began before her mate's piercing amber eyes silenced her.

"Come on, Takahashi! I'm not going to do anything," Yakunan said with a smile. "I just want to treat her out to see a movie and maybe go get something to eat."

"I. Said. No," the inu-youkai growled out, his amber eyes hardening and narrowing.

Swiftly Sesshomaru turned around with Rin being pulled along beside him gently but firmly. If she had been in a skirt, she was pretty sure that it would have flown up and showed everyone her underwear at the speed she had been turned. With her pulled tightly against his side, his fingers pressing against flesh, Sesshomaru led the way to their next class. The anger rolling off of him sending several students scattering out of his way.


The rest of the day seemed to pass without much more incident. That is until P.E.

"Like, oh, my gawd! You won buh-lieve wha I jus heard," squealed one of the preppy girls as Rin walked passed the small group as she was heading to the changing room.

"That weird Rin hoe is sleepin wit Yakunan AND Sesshomaru! An that Sesshy-sama is sleepin wif Kagura!" the girl squealed out, her dyed too many times blonde hair swaying as she started to fan herself.

A deep frown marred Rin's features pulling her lips down as she stiffened. Everything inside of her suddenly began to scream that it was not, and could not, possibly be true. But she did know what else to do other than to run towards the bathroom crying. In the back she could hear the girls' cruel laughter.

Even more tears swelled in her eyes as she swung to girls' restroom door open and ran inside the stall farthest from the opening, locking it before running into the corner and pulling her legs close to her chest where she cried. It just couldn't be true. Sesshomaru would never do that to her. She knew it.

Suddenly the sound of a group of girls walked in so Rin went silent as she instantly recognized one voice. That voice made her blood boil with such hatred and she had to grit her teeth to keep from lashing out. She clenched her eyes together tightly and began to calm her breathing.

'Kagura,' her mind hissed in anger.

"Oh, yes," the wind demoness chuckled as she applied an even thicker layer of red lip gloss to her already shining lips. "Sesshy-kins was soooo good to me last night. He let me finish twice before he finished even one time." A smirk played across her face in the mirror as she reapplied her eyeliner and eye shadow that was already caked on. "It was sooooo romantic!"

A few of the girls giggled but only one spoke, Kikyo. "Yasha-babe was the same with me. He said he was planning on leaving my weak ass, skanky cousin Kagome," the young miko cooed as she redid her make-up as well. "But he said he can't 'cause he marked her, whatever that means."

Kagura released an evil sort of laugh. "Sesshomaru said he was going to remove his mark from him first change he got. He said it would be their next 'mating,' and then he would mark me as his mate." She laughed even harder with the girls as they left.

All of them knew that Rin was in the stall. They had seen her run inside of it. They also knew that Rin had been listening and had blatantly ignored her. Their work was done. They achieved what they wanted.

Steadily more and more tears swelled in the young woman's green-speckled brown eyes as she fumbled to her feet and with the lock to the stall before she bolted out. This could not be happening to her! Not now that she had finally found some form of happiness.

All that she could think about was finding Sesshomaru and confronting of him about it all. Even more tears filled her eyes as she suddenly thought about how she would have to tell Kagome about Inuyasha. Poor, sweet Kagome. She was going to be as heart-broken as Rin was right now.

A choked sob left her raw throat as she continued to run down the length of the track before bursting inside of the school building and running down the long hallway. She did not care if there were people staring at her with knowing, pitying looks. They all knew that she now heard about the rumors. Most of them seem happy to see her in this kind of pain.

Abruptly the human girl stopped at the sight before her. Sesshomaru had Kagura pinned against the wall. His long, silver hair was like a curtain that hid their faces from her view, but she was pretty sure that she knew what was transpiring between the two of them. The thought of it broke her already shattering heart in two piece.

The tears fell more freely from her wide eyes as Sesshomaru suddenly looked up with a glare in his hard, amber eyes as he turned to where he heard the sob escape from her.

"So it is true," she whispered, so softly that it was a wonder that he heard her, even with his demonic hearing.

The demon's eyes widened a fraction when it finally dawned on him what she thought she was seeing.

"Rin," he began, stepping away from Kagura and towards his mate. He could feel and smell all of her emotions and it was hurting him.

"Just shut up!" the girl yelled causing everyone to look in their direction. "You lied to me, you good for nothing dog! How could you do this to me?!" Her hand connected with the side of one of his ivory cheeks when he stepped too close to her. Normally he would not let any one touch him in such a way, but this was his Rin. His upset and confused Rin.

He growled softly, soothingly to her. Hoping that he could calm her. "Rin, let me explain. It's not wh-"

The brunette quickly interrupted him, stepping back with her hand that she slapped him with clutched to her chest. "It's exactly what it looks like! I've already heard, Sessh… Ju-Just…stay away from…me," she cried out before watching Kagura wrap her arms around his waist and hug him from behind.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Rin pivoted on her heel and ran as fast as her feet could carry her. She did not stop. Did not want to stop… ever.

As she ran past a group of people, she felt someone grab her arm.

"Rin?" came the female's panicked, worried voice. Even though she could recognize it she could not quite place it in the state she was in. So she jerked her arm away and ran even faster. This was just too much for her to handle at this moment. Her life was shattered… broken. She was… nothing.

Rae just continued to watch as her best friend ran away. The scent of Rin's tears assaulting her delicate nose causing a rise out of her inner demon before she turned down the way where the crowd was still gathered. Her blue eyes narrowed into last while she walked closer before seeing Sesshomaru and Kagura standing there looking at each other with hushed words being exchanged.

Of course even she had heard the rumors, but she had believed they were a lie. They always were.

"Sesshomaru Takahashi!" rang her voice above that of the crowd as she dragging her cousin away from the wind sorceress, planning on having a long conversation with him.

All Rin did was lay in her bed, just staring up at her ceiling. Events that had happened in the last few weeks replaying in her head over and over again. Sesshomaru had left for the city right after what had happened at the school. She believed that it was because she found out that he was being unfaithful.


We've got the same friends
We're gonna have to see each other eventually
So won't you tell me how we're gonna deal with that
(How we're gonna deal with that, how we're gonna deal with that)

Whenever Sesshomaru would come down, Rae, Kagome, and Inuyasha were always around him. So that meant that when she knew he was coming down she would avoid every single of them and their homes as much as possible. She knew how much it hurt their feelings, especially Rae's because they were so close, but she just could not be around him anymore. Every time that she tried it hurt her so much that she cried herself to sleep the following night.

My CDs are at your place
And you know I'm gonna have to pick 'em up
So won't you tell me how we're gonna deal with that
(How we're gonna deal with that, how we're gonna deal with that)

Sesshomaru was sitting down at his desk staring at the purple CD case covered with emerald green writing all over it. His long fingers softly stroking the cover before he turned away from it, suddenly disgusting. With a growl his fist connected with the wall above the desk.

This was just so damn frustrating! He hit the wall once again with more force in a different area and successfully cracked thick stone.

Even though it was mutual, it still kills inside
'Cause for so long, how I've been defined

Both of them knew that it was kind of mutual for them to avoid each other ever since what happened with Kagura and that fight that followed. And both of them knew that it was an absolutely stupid fight, but it still hurt. Sadly their prides would never allow either to admit the wrong that had happened, or even confess that everything was wrong.

The amber eyes of Sesshomaru closed as he thought about beautiful, green-speckled brown ones. And Rin's brown ones closed as she thought honey colored, liquid amber eyes. A sigh leaving both of their lips before their eyes opened.

It feels just like I'm going crazy
I guess that this is breaking up
And now, not even you can save me
Will someone wake me?
(Someone wake up)

Rin released a quiet sob of pain as she curled into a tight ball on side in her sleep. This first that she had finally had in over a week, and she dreamt of Sesshomaru. Most of the dreams she had when she would finally sleep were about her being attacked, and no one was there to save her until it was too later.

When it was much too late, Sesshomaru would appear and her mind would suddenly scream, 'Someone wake me up!' right as Kagura appeared and kissed him on the lips. It wasn't until after the kiss that she would wake up and cry. She missed him so much but was so hurt.

How could he cheat on her?

Never thought that we'd go under
I guess we won't be making me
And if this is a dream I wonder,
Could someone wake me up?
(Someone wake me up)

Lost deep within his thoughts, Sesshomaru travelled in his back to when everything was fine. Not even in his worst nightmares did he think that he would lose. He never even thought that what happened could happen to them. His life felt more like a night than anything else now.

'If this is a dream, I wonder if someone could wake me,' his conscious whispered.

I still have your old shirt
You know the one I said I'd thrown away?
I put it on when I went to bed last night
(I went to bed last night, I went to be last night)

Small feminine fingers played with the hem of a shirt that was way too big on her small frame.

'I told him I threw it away last time I talked to him…' Burying her nose against the shirt she took in a deep breath, breaking in the masculine scent that was all Sesshomaru. 'It still smells like you Sesshomaru..,' she thought with a sad smile showed her sorrow more than anything.

Sesshomaru looked towards his bed where her shirt still laid from the last night that they mated.

'Rinny…' He walked over to the bed and laid down on her side, burying his deep in the pillow. His fingers gripped her shirt tightly in his fist, so tight that his knuckles turned white.

'Maaaaaaaate,' howled his inner demon in pure agony and a sadness that racked through his entire being. He was lost without her.

Baby, is this where our story ends?
When I turn out the light
Fantasy and reality fight

"Sesshomaru," the young woman moaned in her fitful sleep after her father had turned out the light. Every night that she was able to sleep it was the same old story. She would think that he was next to her, and then she would awake in disappointment when she did not feel his strong arms around waist. When she didn't feel him holding her against his chest, tears would swell in her eyes she began to cry herself to sleep, like she did right now.

On the nights when Sesshomaru was able to fall asleep, which was not very often, he would think that she curled up in his arms, snuggled against his chest like she always did after their first night together. Then when he would go to bury his nose in her silky hair, to breathe in that scent that was uniquely, he would growl and come awake with his demon fighting to get out because she was not there in the place she was supposed to be.

It feels just like I'm going crazy
I guess that this is breaking up
And now, not even you can save me
Will someone wake me up?
(Someone wake me up)

Never thought that we'd go under
I guess we won't be making up
And if this is a dream wonder,
Could someone wake me up?
(Someone wake me up)

Someone wake me up

That night, both human and demon, dreamt of seeing each other in their favorite garden at the demon's home. They dreamt of hugging the other tightly to them and wished it would happen outside of the dream world. Dreamed that everything was fine, but all of this was making them feel like they were going crazy.

It needed to end, but they did not want to stop dreaming of the other. They did not want to stop dreaming of a world where they were finally together again and that the incident at school never happened.

Even though it's over now, it still kills inside
'Cause for so long you have been my life
(Someone wake me up, Someone wake me up)

If feels just like I'm going crazy
I guess that this is breaking up
And now not even you can save me
Will someone wake me up?
(Someone wake me up)

Never thought that we'd go under
I guess we won't be making up
And if this is a dream I wonder,
Could someone wake me up?
(Someone wake me up)

While walking to the park one day, Rin let her mind wander to Sesshomaru. She wondered how he was and if he had moved on. Wondered if he forgot about everything that had happened between the two of them. Just thinking like that made her heart clench.

"Oh, Sesshomaru," she whispered as the tears fell down her cheeks to hit the ground beneath her. How she missed her Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru could not stop nor help himself. He just had to see her, if only for a moment. On his way to her house, he decided that he would take the long way through the park like he used to do. That is until he caught a whiff of the scent of the one who he was missing. His head snapped towards the pond right as he heard her whisper his name. How wonderful it felt to finally hear his name leave her heavenly lips again.

Oh, baby you were my first time
I will always keep you inside

(Someone wake me up, someone wake me up)
Someone wake me up
(Someone wake me up, someone wake me up)
Someone wake me up

Tears streamed freely down her unusually pale cheeks as Rin whispered softly, "You were my first time…" Her arms wrapping tightly around herself she chewed hard on her bottom lip. "And you are always here inside of me…"

"Rin," he whispered quietly to himself, the cold wind carrying it away as his fist clenched at his side. All he wanted to do was go over where she was and comfort her.

Quickly he turned around and walked away with a lone tear making its way down the side of his face as the sweetest combination of strawberries and vanilla filled his senses, sending her demon into a roaring frenzy. "Forgive me, koiboto."

"Someone wake me up," the two whispered before leaving the park, heading in different directions.

Would there be someone to wake them up?
