True to his word Rin and Jaken return right before nightfall and right when she was getting ready for her bath. Rin ran right into Kagome's room without even a knock and left the door open, luckily Kagome was in a bath kimono. Jaken yelled after her at the door "You stupid girl, have you no manners!"
Rin ignored and Jumped into Kagome's open arms, she was almost a teenager now, still short, still cute. "Rin" Sesshomaru said stiffly,
"Rin" Sesshomaru said stiffly,
Both females turned to look at him,
He didn't look pleased "Its ok really, it has been so long" Kagome stated "Jaken would you mind closing the door?"
Jaken looked at Sesshomaru, who simply nodded, the imp grumbled something about human females, but did as asked and shut the door.
"Oh Lady Kagome I am so happy your here!"
Kagome smiled at the beeming girl "I am happy to see you!"
"Lord Sesshomaru said Lady Sango had her babies!"
"She did"
"I cant wait to meet them!" Rin eyed Kagome "Oh, where you going to take a bath!"
Kagome smiled, she was still a sweet child "I was, or, I am, do you want to come with?"
Sango and Kagome and bathed with her before.
"Sure!" She squeeked.
Kagome opened the secret door and got in first, Rin followed "Lord Sesshomaru is looking for a mate"
Kagome noted Rins low tone, she was worried.
"Lord Sesshomaru said your here to advise him"
"I am" The water was warm and felt so good "Are you worried Rin"
"I afraid ill have to leave my Lord"
"I don't think that will happen"
Rin looked down, Kagome became concerned "What?"
"I think that is another reason your here"
Kagome was confused,
"Jaken said I'm getting older and I need to be with humans, that I cant always follow Lord Sesshomaru, I think they are planning on sending me back with you"
Kagome thought for a moment, that actually didn't sound crazy, Rin would become a woman soon, she had never had a mother and A Mikos job depending on who you ask was to take care of children who had no family.
Kagome sighed "Don't worry too much Rin, Lord Sesshomaru would never abandon you, his honor would not allow it"
That didn't make Rin feel any better.
After their bath and small talk, Rin and Kagome ate together. The only two humans in the place. Demons did not mingle with them, even though all the staff new Rin. Once they ate Rin took her leave for bed and Kagome marched her butt right up to Sesshomarus room. She stood at the door, nothing, she knew he was in there. She released some of her energy, just enough to knock at his senses, still nothing. She slowly let her power rise, not enough to spark or crack, but enough to tell him she needs to speak with him, but still nothing. Kagome cuped her hand and let her power come up, enough now a lesser demon would back off, it was a clear warning, but still not enough to sting, and still nothing.
An attendant came up and turned right back around, her warning was enough.
But Sesshomaru was ignoring her, finally, her power sent out a bite, a good spark, enough to straighten even Lord Sesshomarus spine, but yet he still didn't budge.
"Open this door demon or I am coming in" She was not afraid.
His power snapped, and he yanked open the door. Her power recoiled back and she smiled "Hi"
"A simple knock would have worked miko"
"Yeah right"
"What do you want, it is late, rest"
"It is about Rin"
He stood there unmoving,
"What is going to happen to Rin?"
He blinked, and his shoulders soften a bit, he opened his door wider, she stepped in, he shut it.
"Do not make this habit miko, this could cause scandal"
"Are you worried that it will?"
Yes and no, "Your not the type for rumors Sesshomaru and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to start one"
"What do you wish to talk about"
"Rin, what will happen to Rin, she afraid you know"
"Rin will always be my ward"
"I know, I didn't ask you that" She crossed her arms as a night breeze came into his room. He moved to shut it and the balcony door. The room only lit by torches.
"I do not know the future, or my future mates position"
"So your mate overrides Rins place?"
"Rin will turn soon, her season is not long away"
Kagome knew it "I am demon, my mate will be demon"
"I am demon, my mate will be demon"
She knew what he was getting at "You plan on sending her back with me aren't you"
He turned from her "She needs to be with humans, I am not a mother"
Kagome sat in one of his chairs "I know, your right, it's just sad"
"She can return, I will visit"
"If you mate allows it" She stated under her breath, "What if we find a demon who doesn't mind Rin staying?"
"Then she can stay, but I would require more of your services"
"No offense Sessomaru but I don't much like being a third wheel in relationships anymore, kinda been one for too long"
"Then consider it employment, not help"
"You gunna pay me with the moon?"
"You would have to take that up with mother"
She sighed "We will do whatever is best for Rin" She stood and bowed "Goodnight"
He watched her go to the door "And Sesshomaru, keep me in the loop, no more secrets or hidden agendas please, we are on the same team, you can trust me" She looked back them "If there was anyone you could trust, it's me"
She then left his room and it was not unnoticed by prying eyes.
