Chapter 14

The next morning, Rin woke up only to find herself in Sesshomaru's arms. 'Thank kami that it wasn't another dream.' She thought as she tried to get out of his arms without waking him. Just as she managed to get free she was pulled back down by his tail as he let out a low growl. Rin couldn't help to giggle as she waited for him to open his eyes. Once he made eye contact, Rin couldn't help but o smile before she said, "Moring sleepy head."

"You should have stayed in bed." He growled.

"Yeah, well I have to make breakfast. I'm sure Kagome already started." Rin replied as she once again tried to get free.

"She's not here." Sesshomaru said in a calm voice.

"Oh, well I'm sure she just went out to the store. Let me up." Rin replied.

"Uh." Sesshomaru growled as he wrapped his arms around her waist to hold her in place. Once he was sure that there was no way she could get free, Sesshomaru took in a deep breath and said, "She's lost. She healed the lord of the eastern lands and jumped out the window into a river. They haven't found her."

"Ha, ha…now let me go." Rin whispered as she tried to ignore the truth.

"Rin…I'm sorry." Sesshomaru whispered into her ear.

Roku and Dai had just finished making breakfast when they heard her cry. They knew then that Sesshomaru had just told her the truth. After serving a plate for Rin and Sesshomaru, Roku and Dai got up and headed to the room. Knowing that it would only fuel Sesshomaru's rage, Roku and Dai left the tray of food at the door before they walked back to the kitchen. Just as they sat down, Inuyasha walked in and looked at the two before he asked, "Do you have any ramen?"

"To think a prince would actually eat that." Dai said.

"Yeah, it's in the left cabinet." Roku answered.

"Feh, all the fancy crap never fills you up." Inuyasha growled.

"But isn't it all you can eat?" Roku asked.

"Yeah, but you hardly eat when your parents make you dance with a shit load of people." He replied.

"Yeah well…if we know sis…she'll be back soon." Dai said as he desperately tried to tune out Rin's cries.



"I've got to get out of here." Roku growled.

Before the three of them could get up, they heard a loud crash coming from Rin's room. The three walked into find a very pissed off Rin and a growling Sesshomaru. Before anyone could ask or say anything Rin yelled, "I don't fucking care! I am your indented and so help me god if you don't take me to meet your parents right no." as she left the threat hanging.

"Rin?" both Dai and Roku asked.

"Damn Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled before he turned around to leave.

"Rin gather you're clothing. Dai, Roku…you shall be joining us once we leave." Sesshomaru growled as he easily got up.

"Uh…yeah…we got school." Dai said.

"We were going to leave in thirty minutes." Roku added.

'Rin…don't blame him.' Inuyasha thought as he sat down by himself. 'I'm the one that hut her the most.'

"Then Inuyasha will pick you guys up once you're out." Rin answered as she began to turn to face Inuyasha. "You can send Miroku."

"Feh, what time do you guys get out?" Inuyasha asked.

"Rin, we you sure about this?" Dai answered.

"We get out by four." Roku added.

"Inuyasha, let's go." Sesshomaru growled as he wrapped his aura around Rin while the other held her bag.

"Feh, get ready for one hell of a yelling." Inuyasha stated as he began to walk out.

"We'll see you later Rin." Roku called.

"Yeah, take care." Dai added.

As they made their way to the castle, many villagers wouldn't stop staring at them. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha knew that they were still not know Rin on the other hand had been giving death glares to anyone that looked at her in disgust. 'Bastards…just wait until they find out who my intended really is.' Rin thought as she removed the seal to allow their link to start to from.

Once they reached the castle, Inuyasha walked in front of his brother and soon to be sister as he was led to their father. Once they had entered the family meeting area, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru 

could both fell their father's anger. But before anyone could say anything, the woman that had stood next to Lord Inutaisho smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to our home."

"Hello mother, Lord Inutaisho." Inuyasha stated as he hugged his mother before he gave a slight bow toward his father.

"Mother…Rin this is my mother and Lord Inutaisho." Sesshomaru stated as he introduced Rin to his parents.

But before Lord Inutaisho could yell at his eldest son, Rin had punched him on the arm before she said, "How dare you introduce me in such a rude manner. It's bad enough I have to show them that I CAN be a proper lady."

"Well, I'm glad to see that you both are happy." Lady Izayoi stated as she approached Rin and said, "come dear, let them speak. I would like to speak with you."

"Feh, there is no way I'm staying here with these two." Inuyasha growled as he got ready to leave.

"Inuyasha sit down before I hold you down." Lord Inutaisho growled.

"Mother?" Sesshomaru asked as he watched her walk over to his younger brother.

"Inuyasha…why has a subduing spell been placed on you?" Izayoi asked as she kept her eyes locked on the beaded necklace. 'The power…whoever placed this on him has had years to prefect her miko energy.'

"I told you to allow him to take Tetsusiga." Sesshomaru growled.

Taking notice as to what the demon lord was about to do, Rin pushed Sesshomaru back so that SHE would take the full attack. NO matter how angry she was she still didn't want to see him get hurt. Before Izayoi could do anything, her mate was placed in a protective barrier. She had been a miko and when they mated they and realized that all of her miko powers had gone into protecting her mate from being purified. Inuyasha stared in shock at what he saw. His father was now under his mother's protection while Rin was being protected by Kagome's miko energy. As lord Inutaisho pulled back he looked to his son and asked, "Who have you gone to seek protection?"

'Protection?' Rin thought as she opened her eyes only to find herself in a protective barrier. Rin looked at Sesshomaru and asked, "Is your mother doing this?" in a small whisper.

But before either of her sons could say a word, Izayoi cleared her throat and said, "This is your fault love so do not try to pin it on them. Rin dear I would like to meet the miko that is protecting you."



"You can't." Rin answered as she turned to glare at Lord Inutaisho. "And you better not try to hit my intended again." as she handed Sesshomaru a necklace.

"What's this?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Just wear it." Rin hissed before she followed Izayoi out of the room.

"Feh, good luck when you piss her off fluffy." Inuyasha said as he closed his eyes.

"Stupid baka; this Sesshomaru will never fear any woman." Sesshomaru growled. 'She must of found them when she was in my arms last night…great.'

The two brothers both froze in their place when they heard their father making a strange noise. It wasn't until they had faced their father, that the two realized that he was laughing. Once his laughter had died down, Inutaisho looked up to face his sons only to find the two staring at him strangely. After clearing his throat, Inutaisho let out a low growl and asked, "What? Can't I laugh at my son's stupidity?"

"Feh, don't see why you're laughing now." Inuyasha mumbled in a bitter filled tone.

It was then that Inutaisho lost all of his denial. It was then that he realized the damage his mate had told him of. After taking in a deep breath, Lord Inutaisho turned to his eldest son and said, "I approve, however the ball announced your intended shall take place a mother after your and Inuyasha's ball."

"Why? Mind as well have it in the same night. When is that stupid thing any way?" Inuyasha growled.

"The people were told that you both had been leaving in the east for a while. Should Sesshomaru present Rin, a child taken in these lands, they'll know that it was but a lie." Lord Inutaisho explained.

'Feh, it's not our fault you lied.' Inuyasha thought. He knew that it was partly since they didn't want anyone to know until it was time for them to take a mate.

"Very well, Rin will continue to stay under Dai's and Roku's protection." Sesshomaru stated as he left no room for arguing.

"That is fine, however she two will start to continue and advance in her studies. Sesshomaru you shall make sure that you're intended knows everything she must know." Lord Inutaisho stated.

"This is boarding, I'm leaving." Inuyasha growled before he took his leave.

"Sesshomaru, make sure that Tetsusiga does not leave his side." Lord Inutaisho added.



"I shall, oh and the two neko hanyou's shall be under my protection." Sesshomaru stated as he took his leave as well.

After grabbing his sword, Inuyasha turned to see his cousin walking in. by now only those that we going to help the eastern kingdom. Not wanting to hear anyone's pity, Inuyasha let out a how, dangerous growl and jumped out into the balcony before hearing the monk alone in his room. Miroku tried to stop him only to have his barrier broken by the one necklace that was around his neck. 'Aunt Izayoi isn't going to like this…not only is that a subduing spell but a protection spell. Whoever did this wants him to be safe.' Miroku thought as he walked out only to bump into Sesshomaru.

"Where is he?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I don't know…he just growled at me and left." Miroku answered.

"Just leave, I shall speak with him." Sesshomaru ordered as he picked up the faint scent at pity and sadness off of the monk.

"I'm going to the eastern lands to help. We'll be back by the time of the ball." Miroku said as he began to walk away.

'We? Who has mother invited?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Sango…she announced that after the search she will be leaving the eastern lands to live her own life." Miroku answered before he ran off.

After searching for his brother, Sesshomaru went back to the castle for dinner only to find his brother sting next to Dai and Roku and across his intended. He looked as if he wanted to leave once more but he knew that he could not. 'Don't worry they will find your mate brother.'
