I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 12

He stared at the text and contemplated the quickest way out of this 'family-dinner' for news he already knew. Then he glanced at the human who was sleeping on his couch that he had been sketching and wondered how to get her awake. Rin was out, he was relatively certain that not even a nuclear alarm could wake his Rin. Walking over to the back of the couch he leaned down to look at her, perfect. He could pay her one of her owed favors if she got him out of this dinner, plenty fair. Nudging her he looked at her, she just rolled into the back cushions.

"Rin," he said, she cracked an eye open.

"What do you want?" she mumbled as she yawned out, he remembered she was not the first thing awake sort of woman.

"I will pay you a favor in exchange you get me out of family dinner," he informed her.

"They texted you too!?" Rin blinked at with wide brown eyes, Sesshomaru stared at her.

"Hn," was his answer which had her giggling.

"I was going to plead for a favor with you to get me out of it!" she laughed, "they are calling a family meal to announce Kagome and Inuyasha's pregnancy, what they don't know is they eloped last week."

"Hn?" he blinked at Rin then, she laughed some more, he reached down to play with the buttons of his shirt she was wearing. She was smiling up at him.

"Yeah, last week three days after Kagome announced she was pregnant." He nodded as he played with a strand of her hair. Rin just lay there smiling as he toyed with the buttons of her shirt.

"Hn," he replied again as he traced her jawline, Rin just reached up and tugged a strand of his hair.

"Yeah, I'll get you out of the dinner," she informed him. He came down.

"Thanks," he whispered as he kissed her. She just smiled as she giggled, his finger slid over her small body.

"I do owe you a few favors too," she murmured, he didn't counter it had been paid in full many times over since that would mean letting her go. He wasn't ready to let her go. An hour later he was holding Rin on his chest.

"How do we get out of it?" Rin mumbled, he didn't have an idea. Yet.

"Vacation," he decided, she looked at him.

"What?"

"Vacation, always wanted to paint the Fiji shoreline," he informed her seriously.

"And what's my excuse for leaving?" Rin demanded, his fingers traced her naked spine as he thought it over.

"Research," he decided since she and her 'research' often meant her doing whatever wherever she wanted. Looking at Rin he smirked, his lover was smiling with her mischeivious impish grin. Several artistic images flashed through his mind of Rin in the clear blue water. Yes a trip to Fiji was what he needed and he was taking Rin with him.

"That'll work, I'll just say I'm off to do research for my writing," she decided as she sat astride his hips. Sesshomaru watched her eyes laughing mischeiviously.

"Don't think you'll get off that easy, I have serval paintings I want from you," he informed her as he sat up to kiss her. She just grinned at him as her arms came around his neck.

"I won't mind," she admitted, he kissed her smirking lips. This would be fun.

Packing for his trip was easy, getting Rin to not pack was harder. The woman was currently trying to sweet talk him into packing everything short of the kitchen sink.

"No," Sesshomaru informed her.

"You're no fun!" she whined as she pouted.

"No," he repeated as he nipped her pouting lip.

"Grr!" she snarled as she stomped back to her closet. He smirked, he had snuck in the night before their trip to make certain she was packed only to come in through the window to find her throwing everything into the suitcase. "And why can't you use the front door like normal people?" Rin demanded as she poked her head out of her closet.

"Someone could see me," he pointed out. Besides, the window was so much more fun to use.

"True," she sighed as she appeared out of her closet holding a few nice sundresses. He made a mental note to buy her a few more, getting her to wear something other than jeans and sweatshirts was a feat he could only achieve when painting. Then she'd wear whatever he wanted. Rin walked on towards the suitcase.

"So this surprise trip are we going together or separately?" she asked as she shoved her clothes into the suitcase.

"Separately, but we're staying together in a private house," he informed her.

"Oooh! Sounds fancy!" she mused as she continue to shove clothes into her suitcase. Sesshomaru came up behind Rin, his arms encircled her. She leaned against him, he leaned down to rest his chin on her head. Something about this impromptu trip felt right for him. It felt right to be going with her, he kissed her temple.

"What's this about?" she asked with a slight smile on her lips as she tilted her head back.

"Hn," was his answer since he didn't want to tell her what he was thinking. Not that he ever really told her what he was thinking but she seemed to know anyway. Rin was strange that way, she seemed to be the only one in his small world who actually knew him. She tried to know him, and it was nerve wracking to him.

"You know it wouldn't kill you to answer a question just once," she giggled as his hands slid under her shirt.

"Hn," he answered as he kissed her neck. Rin just leaned against him.

"This is our first trip together, what's this mean?" she asked.

"Don't know," he admitted to his shock as he held her. Rin looked at him.

"That's a first," she mused, he smirked. She didn't know this really wasn't a first, where Rin was concerned he often had no idea what they were doing. He didn't know what he and Rin were most of the time, all he was certain of was they were lovers. To him this was new and uncharted areas of his life, none of his relationships meant anything to him. Then there was Rin, which was a different matter altogether. Caring about her was the reason to let her go, he cared too much about her to keep her. If he kept her he'd destroy her, and he refused to be his father.

"Not a first," he countered as he kissed her neck.

"Really?" Rin sounded disbelieving as he kissed her jawline. He didn't counter it as he held her, this was right, but it was also wrong. He wouldn't destroy Rin.
