'Or was it a wife?'
He pulled her a ways out of Jaken's hearing and seeing range, she was looking at him with those big scarlet eyes filled with lost, confusion and hope also fear of the unknown. He held her wrist a little tighter than he should of and then looked at her as her lips formed a sentence "What was Jaken going to say?" She looked at him and noticed his grip growing tighter and he looked like his eyes were narrowing and he was very agitated. What ever it was I was supposed to be unaware of for sure, but now that it was brought up I have a right as his mate to know what it was or is.
'I hope was, and not is. I don't want more problems for be and Sesshomaru, we are having trouble with Setsuko and my parents already what more?'
"I have a wife Rin."
She glared at him her red eyes glistened with rage, jealously and feeling betrayed she grabbed her hand with her other hands pulling her wrist free and glaring at him more intensely "How dare you!? How could you?! You have a wife and you mated me!" She started pacing back and forth with tears forming in her eyes she turned back to him and poked him in his What the hell am I to you just second best?! Just your whore?! Your mistress?!"
He grabbed her and pulled her close locking their lips together in a passionate kiss suddenly, Sesshomaru feels a slap to his cheek and pulls back to see a crying and angry Rin glaring at him. Just as he was about to say something she ran away with her demon speed in another direction crying, she hoped that Sesshomaru would leave her be for a while.
She hoped he would however he came to her very quickly "Rin, I understand your anger howev-" She stood up glaring at him he was a foot taller but she was so angry she didn't care "How would you like it if I said I have a husband, or that Setsuko kissed me or had me?! You're married! You have to have been with her that way!"
"Rin I understand, but I have not done anything physical with her yet. I only married her so I could have freedom and leave that palace, my mother said I could travel around with ease if I married and she would keep my wife there. However you are my MATE that is more important and our rules a wife, you also carry my heir so you again out rank her since you are alpha female and my bitch when she is not."
She looked at him and blinked several times hearing a word that surprised her "Heir?! I have a baby in me?!" Rin instantly brought her hands to her stomach where her child lived even though she didn't know it. He nodded and hugged her showing lots of emotion even though he never did earlier "There is a annual talk about a ball celebrating me and a heir of mine. Which I had thought I could reveal you are my true mate and I ended my marriage with my wife."
Rin felt better now knowing it wasn't his choice and she was the number one to him "So what until then? When is the ball?" He smiled and looked at her and putting the palm of his hand on her belly "In half a month we shall be at the palace tomorrow, and you will say I adopted you as my daughter so they won't be suspicious if we are closer than normal."
His plan seemed very thought out and she felt safer with her mate then took a step closer eliminating the space between them and placing her hand on his cheek and looked concern "I'm sorry I hit you."
"Just don't do it again, my mate." With that they sealed their agreement with a kiss and walked back to camp to sleep until tomorrow. Rn looked at Jaken and smiled looking at him "Master Jaken look at the rainbow over there, isn't it pretty?"
He rolled his eyes with his arms crossed "Really you see that once you never need to again." She narrowed her eyes Ah Un was flying above them while Sesshomaru was walking ahead leading and listening to the two behind him.
"Master Jaken then you be blind, since you've seen everything once already."
He huffed and glared at him "Don't make me look stupid or belittle me ever, you girl you."
Rin stopped for a second giggling and then began to walk again looking at the green little demon ahead of her "Well I don't have to help you look stupid you already do that yourself. Also you are so little I'm not sure how much smaller you can get and if you're so stupid you can't even remember my name, which is only three letters then your are the dumbest person I know."
Sesshomaru looked at the two in the corner of his eye and then returned his attention to the front with a hint of pride and amusement in his eye "Yo- Rin you are just a burden on us all! I just can't understand why milord took you back."
Rin made a pouting face "Well it's because I'm more important," She ran up and hugged her lord's arm "I'm his daughter so therefore more important. Right Daddy?" He was struck by his mate's knowledge she knew that Jaken would be stunned by this and also he couldn't make fun of her as much and have to watch himself now.
"My lord this cannot be true tell me the stupid human girl is only joking."
"Do you dare question me Jaken?" He turned with a fierce glare to the little green toad demon, who just was annoying and stupid. Rin smiled seeing Sesshomaru look at her and she giggled walking with her Mate who she was acting like he was her dad, this might get interesting. She looked up at him "Daddy can you carry me or put me on Ah Un I'm so tired."
"Aw the poor poor central region princess." She was then picked up by Sesshomaru bridal style she looked over his shoulder "I'm also the princess of the western Region now since our lord is my daddy now, right my lord?" Only thing she got was a 'Hn,' meaning yes or at least she took it that way and laid down in his arms. He glanced down whenever Jaken wasn't looking he took a sniff of her hair and purred seeing her curl closer he loved the thought of her carrying his child.
'Mate, the mother of my heir she is so gentle, strong, humorous, and is so daring. Even when she was a human she didn't fear some demons and waited for him to save her.'
Rin woke up in a room that was all white and the bed sheet was cream and white and then the furniture had some western European furniture that was a gift from their distant relatives in England. She saw a black yukata that had blue flowers on it and purple butterflies with light pink sakura petals so when she turned or moved the demon yukata that was unable to be stained or ripped would look like the sakura petals were moving across the material. To top it off she had a purple obi matching the butterflies, she smiled and looked at herself her two pink stripes on her cheeks and her purple crescent moon and ruby red eyes stood out more wearing this yukata as her dark brown hair was nearly black like night.
She stopped looking at her reflection when she heard a maid enter with a ivory box of silver combs for the royal family to wear the maid sat Rin down and put her hair up in a extravagant manner that screamed princess. Rin smiled and blushed the woman didn't say a word as she did all of this and put on Rin's makeup making her have ruby red lips that was it she didn't need to add anything else she was perfect.
"Um, where is my father?"
The maid didn't say a word and her heart went out of the young woman who looked like she was having brown eyes with dark brown hair the woman also had a scratch across her right eye she had no smile and was a girl with red X on her forehead. This caused Rin to grow curious "Are you mute?"
Rin handed the woman a paper and ink brush to write her answer she watched as the woman wrote down yes, her heart went to the mute girl once being the same "Oh well um… are you a human?"
The girl took a minute to answer Rin noted the girl's hesitation "I am not human or demon nor half-demon. My name is Ari I was a half demon who was killed tending to business out of the palace and I was brought back by a witch and then I was mute. I can't talk and I have this X telling other's I am not of this world I am not alive nor dead I am cursed just being here I should be in hell…
Rin sighed and got up putting on tabi socks and walked back to the girl and put a comforting hand on the girl's shoulder "Hell isn't so great, trust me I was there." This caught the maid's attention she had heard stories from her lady Inu Kimi that her son Lord Sesshomaru saved a human girl's body, but Inu Kimi had to bring the girls soul to her body. This must be the girl, she took the paper and wrote down a question ' I thought our lord saved a human girl.'
This caused Rin to smile and nod "Yes, he did. I was her, however certain things happen and some rare happenings such as a human girl turning into a new breed of Inu Yokai can occur. I am princess Rin, it is a pleasure to meet you."
The maid nodded and kept her eyes low to the ground and then looked at the princess and motioned to the door, Rin nodded and went along with the maid who was trying to escort her elsewhere. She looked at the paintings along the wall most of nature and others of demons, she noted it was so elegant and beautiful 'I didn't get to see any of this since last time I was here I died… I'm starting to freak myself out now.'
She was relieved seeing her lord having tea looking out the window, but his eyes instantly found hers when she entered the room and Rin's found his until she saw a woman get up one who was not his mother. Sesshomaru also got up instantly noting that she was not happy in her own way, she wore a fake smile that only he could tell.
A woman in a all white yukata with blue little flowery designed in it, the woman had blue eyes and white hair with no facial marking's like Rin, Facial markings meant high ranking royalty. She however had none, Rin felt jealous just seeing the girl who was smiling at her "Oh this must be my new daughter!" Rin was taken into a hug before she was able to react, Rin's eyes narrowed looking at Sesshomaru mouthing 'I hate her already.'
He let out a smirk through his eyes so only she could see him, the wife Rin and him both hated pulled away "I'm your new mother Nani." Rin narrowed her eyes to her love rival and smiled with a happy face that was fake as can be "I'm sorry my only mother is Kagome, Lord Inuyasha was my first father and Sesshomaru is my second, however I do not want a new mother so Kagome is my only one. Sorry to disappoint you Nanami."
"Oh it's okay and its Nani."
"Rin let your father escort you around the palace."
Nani smiled and walked toward the two "I'll come too."
Sesshomaru turned a glare to her "You know this place well as to were my daughter does not. Why don't you keep practicing on your flower arranging and painting. You know how I like the fine arts." Nani looked at first upset but then grew happy at her lord's command 'He wants to see my art!'
"Bye Nana, me and father will be back."
"It's Nani."
"Sorry Ami." Nani stood there with a dumbfounded look and then noted the girl was only around thirteen and a half with the mind of a human who was playful 'Perhaps she is simply playing with me in order to try and grow closer with me.'
Once Sesshomaru was alone with Rin, they strolled in the garden alone as he smirked letting it show on his lips this time as they entered the garden that was secret it was his father's secret garden to escape and have peace in his life, he only told Sesshomaru where it was.
Rin grew confused seeing Sesshomaru stop in front of a flower and pulled off the six petal in a strange order and watched as a smoky mist made a ring around their feet encircling them both in smoke. She closed her eyes seeing a grassy plain in the palace walls where they most likely strolled or practiced fighting turn into a huge garden full of trees and flowers she never even saw.
She also noted a small hut with a luxurious bed and hot spring with a small stream and little bridge. Sesshomaru led Rin over the bridge making sure she was careful since she only would be pregnant for three months and would just start showing in a month. She smiled when Sesshomaru picked a flower that was white orchid with stripes of purple on the white petals, twirling the stem in between his thumb and index finger "This is my father's favorite flower, this was also is private sanctuary. I thought it could be where we don't have to be father and daughter or Lord and ward but mate and mate and Alpha and bitch."
She smiled when he leaned in close and put the flower behind her ear and kissed her neck slowly stringing along kisses front her neck to her crescent moon forehead "Rin…" He held her close and smelt his scent in her skin it was radiating off her and he loved it, hearing her start to giggle he pulled away and looked at her blushing face "My lord i-it… you were tickling me."
He smirked and began to nip at her neck and she gasped feeling his hot his and steaming breath on her neck nearly making her melt in his grasp if he weren't holding onto her. Rin looked at him and smiled then touched her stomach "Will you know the gender before we have the child?" He nodded smiled a smile that Jaken thought only meant someone's death or pain, but he was really happy when he was getting something he never thought he would have.
'I will have a family that I will actually want and love, with Nani I didn't want her I don't even like her I would only love a child from her for it being part of me. Perhaps that is why father and mother never had other children or why I never saw them together, I was always with father. I love Rin and I will love this child whether it is a boy or girl.'
"I hope it is a boy my lord."
"You need not call me that when we are alone, you may call me mate."
Rin was walking with him hand in hand until she stopped and inched close to him with a few breaths on his lips only a few centimeters away for kissing "Maaattteee. My powerful, loving, handsome and amazing lover my mate Sesshomaru." That was all he needed until he lost all his composure, he took her in his arms kissing her passionately as she kissed back fiercely.
Setsuko walked out of the hut and to his palace where he would order his men and people under him to look for his future wife, Rin the central princess and one of a kind demoness. His eyes looked at the horizon with dedication and rage in his blue and purple eyes.
"Soon she will be mine."
