*I do not own inuyasha*
Family once more
"Leave. Before I change my mind," he snarled at Kohaku.
Kohaku knew better to stay and fight him. Rin already made it very clear that there was never any room in her heart for anyone but her lord. Always and forever. He was defeated. He hung his head low and left.
Sesshomaru held Rin close and tight. He felt her pull away at first but slowly she opened up and returned his embrace. They both missed each other so much but no one wanted to take the first step to resolve it. Admit, accept, and change.
Sesshomaru knew that this would make or break them. He took a big breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm himself.
"Rin, I hid while you were crying in pain. I turned away when you were in need. I dismissed you when you needed protection the most. I will understand if you no longer wish to reside with me. I promise to be better at these things but do know I am still young at this emotion. I need constant examples and guidance. But whatever it is you decide, please know that I will only have you as my mate. There will be no other until we die." He said calmly.
Rin's body was shaking with joy and happiness. She was so afraid that he would leave her be. She never would imagine her mate apologizing to her. And admitting his shortcomings. You can teach old dog new tricks. She smiled a warm loving smile looking up her demon lord husband's face. It was strong, gentle, cold and loving, all at the same time. She was crying now. Crying for the love she was missing. Crying for all the pain and suffering they both went through the first year of their marriage. At last the sun will shine on them.
"Thank you, Sesshomaru, for being you." She whispered.
Nothing else was needed. No more words. The lovers stared into each others' eyes and all questions were answered in a second. The two leaned in for a kiss. Small pecks at first which blossomed into the battle of the tongues. Soon hands and bodies were moving under a full moon.
Out by the river the next morning two bodies were entwined when Sesshomaru turned his mate to face him. He traced over all her features with his claws and paused at her belly and kissed it. " Our children are growing well. You will make me a proud father." He smirked.
"It's with Kagome's help and medicine. I haven't been sick at all. I think... this one will be fine. This one…wait did you say children? There's more than one in here?" She asked with a panic.
*Sorry so short. Had a long 50 hours of work this weekend. Prob 1 or 2 more chapters after this. Enjoy.
