I do not own Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru!"Rin can't help but shout. No wonder she looked familiar. Tani gives Rin a knowing smile. "Yes. You know him I believe. He's quite taken with you." Rin can't help but blush at the knowing tone that Tani uses. Tani reaches forward and grabs her hand, Rin notes the now serious look on Tani's face. "I know what happened. I was there when everyone discovered you went missing. Sesshomaru was devastated."

Rin looks down at her lap, embarrassed and ashamed. "When we finally discovered what happened…" Tani pauses and squeezes Rin's hand. "My son's not one to show much emotion and I could tell he really wanted to break down, but couldn't. I knew that if there was any way that I could bring happiness to the two of you I would do it." Rin looks up at Tani, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "It took a lot of convincing and compromising, not to mention secrecy. I wanted this to be a surprise. I want nothing more than for my son to by happy. You Rin make him happy." Rin can't help but smile at Tani's approval.

Sesshomaru slowly walks through the parking lot at his college campus in search of his car. Annoyed yet curious at his mother. She finally called him up and extended him an invitation to dinner at her house. He figured it took her this long because of her being offended with him turning her down for free room and board. I wasn't about to loose my independence. Not that he cared if she was offended. What did she really expect anyways?

He had other things on his mind besides the possible offense of his mother, like wondering what was taking Rin so long to get back to him. He hadn't heard from her since her move. He was worried but figured that maybe she was busy trying to get adjusted to her new surroundings.

Finally making it to his car Sesshomaru unlocks it, climbs in, and starts the drive to his mother's house. Oh joy.

The sound of the doorbell ringing brings the two women away from the vanity. Both are dressed in formal attire, which Tani insisted was what the occasion called for."Ready Rin?" Rin nods her head and with one final look in the mirror they make their way down the hallway and to the staircase.

Stopping right before the wall ends and the staircase begins Tani quickly turns to Rin. "Now wait right here, when I tell Sesshomaru that I want to introduce him to my house guest make your way down the stairs. Got it?"

Rin nods her head eagerly. "Got it!" Tani winks at Rin and starts her way down the stairs and towards the front door.

Finally! The front door opens and without waiting to be ushered in Sesshomaru pushes his way inside. "Welcome Sesshomaru. It's nice to see you so eager." Sesshomaru glares at his mother. "Dressed a little fancy for a dinner aren't you?"

Tani gives Sesshomaru a big smile. "What this old thing." Sesshomaru rolls his eyes. "I have a surprise for you. I want to introduce you to my house guest." Great she's trying to set me up. Tani sweeps her arms towards the staircase. Sesshomaru takes a deep breath and glances to the staircase. He promptly freezes at the sight of Rin slowly walking down the stairs.

Rin blushes when she sees Sesshomaru staring but continues to make eye contact. After making it to the bottom of the stairs Rin makes her way in front of Sesshomaru.

"Miss me?" Rin smirks. Feeling empowered by Sesshomaru's reaction to her. Tani was right, the occasion does call for formal attire. Despite his mother being three steps away, Sesshomaru grabs Rin around the waist and brings her in for a kiss.
