Sesshomaru chose then to walk into Narakus office. His eyes already narrowed after hearing most of their conversation.

"I've come to send in my letter of resignation. My father is aware that im leaving to pursue a degree in law now that ive fullfilled his requirements." He almost turned away from them when Hakudoshi spoke up.

"And does he know youve been keeping my wife a prisoner? "

Sesshomarus eyes narrowed at Hakudoshi when he pulled his cell phone out and quickly dialed his father.

"Nothings wrong father. Dinner tonight? Yes, yes, I will make it this time. I want to introduce you to...my girlfriend."

He hung up before his father could yell into his ear. A second later his phone rang but Sesshomaru chose to ignore it as he finally walked out of the office, leaving Hakudoshis mouth hanging open.

"Girlfriend eh?" Naraku said to his son. "What did you say about her being your bride again, son?" Hakudoshi sat up and kicked the chair he was sitting in. "I'm getting her back!" He huffed before following Sesshomaru out the office.


Sesshomaru was starting his car before he noticed Hakudoshi following him. If he was going to try to get to Rin, he was in for a boring follow. He pulled out of his parking spot and started driving to the closest mall. He was going to buy Rin a dress for the dinner and maybe some other stuff to make her look nice. He was lost in thought about what would look good on Rin that he almost drove past the mall entirely.

Quickly turning to the entrance he drove to the valet to get to the stores quicker. He wasnt much of a mall shopper so he wanted to get it over with and back to Rin.

Sesshomaru walked through the crowds of people and ignored the giggles of teen girls who blushed as he went past them. He stopped walking when a dress on display caught his eye. It was a knee length skater dress. A deep crimson kissed with white printed flowers. It was perfect. He started to make his was to the store feeling a success that he found something so fast. He chose a size small and was pretty confident it would fit her perfectly.

"Girlfriend?" The cashier asked a little disappointedly. He nodded and paid for the dress. "Now to the makeup store" He thought to himself. He would get her something simple since he didnt know much about makeup in the first place.

He ended up buying Rin an eyeshadow palette, eyeliner, a light pink lipstick, and...primer? He ended up too confused and had to admit defeat and ask for help. The worker was more than happy to assist him. She had him walking all over the store asking questions about Rin that he didnt know he needed to answer in order to get cosmetics.

He was on guard and felt Hakudoshis eyes on him the entire time from outside the store. Why would he follow him to the mall? Did he think he would meet Rin here? What a joke.

With two bags in his hand he made his way to a jewelry store to find Rin a nice pair of earrings. He wanted something to compliment the dress. If his father was going to meet Rin, he wanted to make sure it wasnt in the pajamas shes been wearing lately.

Sesshomaru felt content with his purchases and made his was to the exit. But not before he stopped a security guard.

"That fellow there, with the purple hair has been following me since I came here. I would appreciate it if you could distract him for 20 minutes so I could leave without him following me home to my wife." He pointed down to his bags. "We just found out shes pregnant and I wouldnt want the stress of a stalker make her lose the baby." The security guard nodded and shook Sesshomarus hand. As they shook Sesshomaru handed him a 100$ bill and walked off.

He heard Hakudoshis protests as he walked to the valet to get his car. One problem solved. Now he had to get home to tell Rin about the dinner and he supposed ask her to be his girlfriend. He had already lied more than he liked to that day. First to his father and second to that security guard.


His drive home was uneventful. Sesshomaru just wondered how he was going to start the conversation with Rin when he walked in.

Rin had decided to make the living room her home away from her bedroom. She sat at Sesshomarus couch with a bowl of popcorn in her arms. Ah was sleeping by her feet. She felt comfortable again. She chose to watch a horror movie. With her feet tucked under her she leaned forward in suspense. The music got louder so she knew something good was going to happen soon.


Ahs ears perked up when he heard Sesshomarus car door slam shut. His tail wagged but he stayed faithfully by Rin side. The door jiggled from Sesshomaru using his keys.

"Jaken Sesshomarus home!" Rin yelled but kept her eyes glued to the tv. She heard the im skitter behind her to meet Sesshomaru at the door. She smiled at his devotedness to the man who saved her life.

"W-WELCOME HOME SESSHOMARU." his obnoxious voice chirped. As usual Sesshomaru walked past him and hurried to Rin. He could smell fear in the living room. Why was she scared? Thats when he heard an unfamiliar scream on the Tv and saw Rin jump in surprise. "I'm scared Ah!" she said covering her eyes with her hands but peeking through her fingers.

"Rin..." Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow at her. As she turned to Sesshomaru she paused the tv. "Yes Doctor?" She had taken to calling him that when she wasnt calling him by his name. It annoyed him but he sighed and accepted it. "We need to talk..."

Rins eyes widened. Was he going to ask her to move out and back to her apartment? She knew she overstayed her welcome. Would he visit her?

"Y-yes?" Her voice trembled. Ahs eyes were now on Sesshomaru too. Both of their curious eyes staring up at their silver haired savior. Sesshomaru sat next to Rin and put the bags he was holding in Rins lap. "Get dressed. Were having dinner tonight-"

"I said I'd try!" Rin whined but looked through the bags anyways. Her fingers scanning the dress he got her.

"Dont cut me off Rin." Sesshomaru warned. "Were not leaving the community so you will still be safe. Were going to my parents." Sesshomaru leaned in and kissed Rin on the spot of her neck he became so fond of. "They want to meet my new girlfriend."

Rin was too in shock to even answer. She watched as he walked towards the staircase. He spent a lot of time in his room so even when he was home Rin still felt independent. Was he going to get ready? Her hand reached up to touch the spot he had kissed. Sesshomaru had only ever kissed the top of her head before then. Did he just call her his girlfriend? When had that happened?...

Rin shrugged and jumped off the couch. If she wasnt in any real danger she might as well suck it up. She did promise she'd try to have dinner with him. So she walked upstairs to her room with the bags in her hand. Quietly she shut the door behind her and started to take off her pajamas. She slipped the dress over her head and looked at herself in the mirror. The dress fit her perfectly! And it was beautiful. She twirled in a circle before she went to the rest of the bags.

30 minutes later she emerged from her room. She held her pair of flats in her hands. "I'm ready!" She yelled out. As Rin made her way down the stairs she could see jaken flailing his arms around complaining it wasnt fair that he had to stay home instead of going to his fathers house. Sesshomaru was staring at her as she made her way towards them. She looked beautiful dressed up and not in pajamas. He liked her either way but he was certain his father would approve.

"Lets go." He opened the door for her as she walked next to him. "Were walking to their house." He put his hand protectively on her shoulder and pointed to a mansion a couple blocks down. "Thats it."

Rins eyes widened at the huge building. They walked the rest of the way in silence as they slowly got closer to the house. "My father and his wife are a little... eccentric... Just dont be surprised." He kissed the top of her head before ringing the doorbell.
