All male demons as a general are highly dominating creatures and will command anything under them. In the times when demons were the controlling force of the planet, they would fight for territory, food and women. As time has progressed and they have adapted to the modern world, the battles have turned to battles of business, money and power. However, male demons of all kinds will always be highly possessive over females.

Most demons will hold this domination at all times, the female having to fight for control or manipulating the demon. However, those of Demon Nobility are an exception to this rule, allowing their females certain freedom in their actions.

Many believe this is due to the Nobility being of higher intelligence and having a higher level of self-control than other demons but this theory is yet to be confirmed.

In the matters of authority over a female, Demon Lords often will demonstrate a higher level than other demons in public, particularly when other males of either species are around.

However, when the demon is alone with the female in either his home or hers, the demon becomes submissive to her commands, reduced to using subtle movements of his head, hands and eyes to make requests to her but is at all times under her control.

For example, if a Demon Lord enters a room where the female is, he will always give her a small token of his attention, agreeing she is in control, before seeing to his own purposes for entering the room.

Even if their culture states that a female is in control while in the home, it is possible for a female to give the demon dominancy over herself in the simple method of making herself smaller to him, keeping the lord above her or looking up to him. Although she is still in control, it is allowing him to do as he wishes. To remove the control, the female simply makes herself taller or his equal again.

Rin smiled as she put the book down and looked over at Sesshomaru while he read the newspaper across from her in the lounge. Placing a bookmark on her page, she put the guide down then stood and walked over to him, noticing his eyes on her as she sat next to him, pulling her legs up onto the sofa and placed her head on his lap.

His eyes widened a little but he didn't hesitate in putting a hand on her hair, running it back in his claws. His attention remained on the newspaper but his hand never stopped in the smoothing motion on her hair. As he turned the page, Rin shifted and closed her hand around the fabric in her grip. The demon didn't return to the print, instead looking across the room to the large green book on the other chair. "Rin… what is that book? For the last two days you seem to take it everywhere and I often see you reading it."

Rin giggled under her breath. "Oh… you'll laugh at me."

"I would never laugh at you. Tell me."

She rolled onto her back so she was looking right up at him. "Promise?"

"I swear."

"It… it's called 'A helpful guide to Demons for Humans.'"

A laugh would have been better than the scowl he gave her. "What?"

"I know, it sounds like some kind of pet book but it's a really serious book. I've only read a couple of chapters because I keep going back and reading them twice, just to make sure I get it." She reached up with her hand and stroked a few strands of hair on his shoulder. "It's all about your history and culture and… well it's just given me a heads up on a few things."

"My history?"

"Well, Demon Nobility. There is a whole two hundred page chapter just for your kind."

"I see."

She shrugged a little. "It's really useful. I just read about how… as a female… I'm in control in the house but… I can give it to you by keeping my head under yours." She laughed and scratched her forehead. "Not difficult when you're as short as I am!"

The demon stroked her hair backwards slowly. "Did I ask you to submit?"

"Umm… I'm not sure. You were tapping your finger but you could just be singing in your head." She looked up at him as he gave her an unpleased face. She scowled back. "Look, give me a break, it's like trying to learn a whole new language!"

The face went back to still and stone. "Yes, I understand it must be difficult for you, Rin. But I appreciate that you are trying to understand my culture. I'll help you where I can."

"Could you do as it says in the book? That would really help me."

"I'd need to read the book."

She smiled, jumped up and ran over, grabbing the book before returning. "Here, I know how fast you read."

The demon took the book and set it on his side, tapping his leg with one hand. Human or demon, that was a clear direction and Rin returned her head to him. She looked at him as he began to read. "I have only got to chapter three but I'm getting there."

"It's a well written book. They have done their research. Remind me to send a message to the author, expressing my thanks."

Rin smiled before closing her eyes, allowing the demon to read in silence.

Yawning, Rin listened as Sesshomaru sat down on the side of her bed, removed his watch and placed it on the side before slipping in with her. She closed her eyes in a smile, expecting him to squeeze up around her as he normally did for the last two nights. But nothing happened so she looked over her shoulder at him. He was there, eyes narrow and shining with amber but he looked a little cross. "Is something wrong?"

"You haven't got that far in the book have you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Turn over and I'll tell you."

Confused, Rin rolled from looking out over the bed to looking at him. No sooner than she had, the demon moved, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest.

He had his nose on her shoulder and smiled into it. "That's better."

"What… what do you mean?"

"You asked me to do as in the book, to help you learn."

She widened her eyes and pushed back so she was eye level with him. "Oh, did I do something?"

"Yes. You had your back to me."

"And that's bad?"

"Turning and keeping your back to a demon is a way of saying 'I'm angry with you, leave me alone'."

"Ops."

"Yes. Rolling to face me is a way of say 'I want you close and to protect me'."

"I see… so if I…." She rolled onto her stomach, still looking at him. "Did this?"

"You're telling me you are not angry at me, but want to be left alone."

She nodded then rolled onto her back. "And this?"

Sesshomaru's eyes darkened slightly as he shifted, kneeling by her side, a hand on the bed by her head, the other moving to her waist, caressing it while his lips crashed hard on hers. He'd never kissed her like this before. It had always been smooth and tender, quick nips.

This was pure passion.

Raw and dripping.

He was unleashed and wanted her.

He forced open her mouth with his lips and pushed his tongue into her, hearing her yelp and grab him, trying to push him back which she managed. He barely registered that his moves were making her giggle. At hearing it, knowing she didn't know… he pulled himself back. Not yet.

As soon as able, Rin rolled onto her side, her back to him, chuckling as she did. The demon growled and leant over her ear. "That's not fair."

"How about this then?" She rolled onto her stomach.

He nodded to himself and lay on top of her, arms pushing under her to gain their grip. "I can live with this."

Rin closed her eyes but after a minute shook her head. "Nope, nope won't do." She pushed herself up and the demon moved, watching as she rolled onto her side, facing him, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her head into his chest. "This is what I want."

He smiled and held her head tighter. "As you wish."

Ok, so take the chapter number and times it by 10... what do you get? 100. Which is also the amount of reviews I want! PLEASE!
