Name of Chapter: Protection

Rin woke up bright and early Monday morning, before her alarm clock, with the sun shining through her curtains. She yawned and stretched, making her back crack. She looked at her new bed set, having got it yesterday after she told Bankostu about Sesshomaru and him bleeding over her other one. The comforter was yellow, orange, and had light pink circles around it. The pillow cases and sheets were just pink with yellow and orange stripes. She loved it, but she didn't let Bankostu know that.

He really is trying to get in my life, Rin thought. Bankostu spent all day with her yesterday and her mother. Bankostu answered any questions she had about his work, which Mai knew about. When Bankostu had told her about his work, she just smiled and said okay.

"Rin, are you awake, dear," she heard her mother from the other side of the door. Rin was surprised Mai was still here. Normally, she would have left before now for work.

"Yeah, mom," Rin replied, opening her door and smiling at her mother, whom smiled back. Rin had to admit, ever since they confessed to her about her true father, Mai was really happy and smiling more.

"Hurry up and get ready for school, I made pancakes, eggs, and sausage." Mai smiled more. "And I made coffee."

"Okay, mom," Rin replied, not going to question her mother.

"Oh, and Bankostu said Sesshomaru will be walking you to school today." Mai told her and before Rin could respond, she was half way down the hallway, humming to herself.

Rin shook her head, smiling, before shutting her door to get ready for the day.

"Good morning, Sesshomaru." Rin greeted Sesshomaru about an hour later at her front door. He wore black slacks and a nice blue button down top and black shoes. His silver hair as always was down and perfectly straight.

Sesshomaru inclined his head in response. Rin quickly closed the door and met him on the pavement.

"How was your night," Rin asked as they began walking to school. The morning was cool with little wind that played with Rin's hair. Sesshomaru's hair just deflected it.

"Pleasant," Sesshomaru replied, looking straight ahead. In his mind, he was hearing and smelling for danger. It was difficult for Sesshomaru to focus on other scents besides Rin's sweet raspberry smelling one. But he promised to protect Rin with his life, and he was determined to keep that promise. "Yours?"

"Fine," Rin replied, smiling. "Bankostu and my mom talked a lot, and he answered some of my questions about demons. Gico has decided to stay at a hotel for now, while Bankostu is in town."

Sesshomaru nodded, showing he was listening. Bankostu had told his father Inutaishio that he told Rin's mother about his occupation and involvement in the demon world. Surprisingly, Inutaishio was alright with it.

"Rin," Sesshomaru started, looking at her, "you mustn't tell anybody that you can see demons, understand?"

"I understand," Rin replied, nodding. "Besides, who would I tell besides Kagome?"

Sesshomaru looked at her. "Kagome cannot know." They stopped suddenly and Sesshomaru looked at her intensely. "Rin, you may come across demons today at school. Don't let them sense your fear. And if you feel like you are in any danger at all, call for me and I will be there." Rin smiled at that.

"Haru is a demon, isn't he?" Rin asked hesitantly, remembering the way he looked the other day. Haru's once short choppy black hair was now longer and red, his grey eyes almost black, and his build being bigger. And when he smiled, she saw fangs. She knew something was off about him.

Sesshomaru nodded, deciding not to tell her he fought him the night they met.

"He's my cheating ex-boyfriend, you know," Rin told him as they began walking again. "I wouldn't have sex with him so he went to Naomi, Kagura, and Kikyo. I found Haru and Naomi kissing one day during school. I told him it was over and ran away crying. I later found out from Kagome he slept with all of them."

I should have killed him, Sesshomaru thought angrily. He will pay for hurting Rin.

The rest of walk passed in silence, just the two of them enjoying the morning weather, with Sesshomaru thinking of ways to hurt or kill Haru. He couldn't start a fight with him at school. Too many innocent humans would be in danger and a possible target for Haru to hold hostage. The Oni Clan knows that the Shakai vow to protect humans and they use it against them.

However, if Haru ever hurt or threatened Rin again, Sesshomaru would see to it personally he would be brought to Hell.

"I'll see you in a bit for Art, right," Rin asked Sesshomaru in the school a few minutes later. She had to put some books in her locker first and see Kagome.

Sesshomaru nodded then walking in the opposite direction she went in.

"Hey, Kagome," Rin greeted her friend at their respective lockers next to each other.

"Hi, Rin," Kagome replied, taking out her first period textbook along with her notebook. "How was your weekend?"

"Good, Bankostu brought me shopping," Rin told her. Sunday morning Rin had told Kagome about Bankostu being her real father and her mother's past. "I think he's trying to buy my love. But I got a new bed set out of the deal."

"Cool. At least he cares about you and wants you in his life."

Rin rolled her eyes, shutting her locker after grabbing her sketchpad and coloring utensils. "Then he could have come into my life years ago and not let me believe Gico, a man I look nothing like, was my real father."

Kagome sighed, knowing her friend was stubborn. "Rin, he's here now, so let him in your life."

Rin opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by someone interrupting her.

"Hello, Rin."

Rin looked and saw it was Haru. She gasped slightly, seeing his new appearance. His hair was a reddish brown that fell to his shoulders, his eyes blacker than night, and his canine fangs protruded from his smirk. She caught a glimpse of his hands and saw claws. His brown shirt and blue jeans were tight on his muscular body.

"What do you want now, Haru," Rin asked, glaring at him. She wasn't scared of him, and if she was, she wouldn't show it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Kagome back up in fear. She absolutely despised Haru with a deep passion.

"I just came over to ask you why you've been hanging out with the new student Sesshomaru," Haru said, his black eyes filled with anger. "Seems to me, you two have gotten really chummy in the past few days. I saw you two walking into school together."

"N-none of your business," Rin stammered while her heart was beating fast. She remembered when they were dating; he would get extremely jealous if she so much looked at another guy. "Why do you care?"

Don't let them sense your fear, Sesshomaru had told her. Rin took a deep breath and glared at Haru and continued on before he could reply. "So what, is that a crime for us to be friends now? Besides, we're not together anymore, so I can hang out with anybody that I want to." She looked him dead in the eye. "You don't own me."

Haru growled and in a flash, he had Rin held up by her neck against the lockers, his grip getting tighter.
