"Run, Inuyasha!" Miroku hollered. It had taken Sesshomaru nearly an hour to pull himself away from the cuddling, cooing little five year old girls, so with his poison claw held ready, he wanted nothing more than to run it clear through the hanyou's skull.

Jaken was somewhat of his own personal cheerleader. Evidently, the daiyoukai now had a fan club, to his displeasure, composed entirely of very young village girls, and with Jaken as their leader, they shouted him words of encouragement:

"Give me an S!" the imp cried.

"S!"

"Give me an E!"

"E!"

Give me another 'S'!"

"S!"

"One more S!"

"S!"

"Give me an H – O – M – A – R – U – SAMA!"

"H – O – M – P – Q – A – B – C… uh… SAMA!"

"What's that spell?"

"Fluffy Man!" a girl giggled.

Rin walked over to the fence and sat down, watching dejectedly as her mate grabbed his brother by the ankle and swung him like a club into the nearest building. She sighed.

Kagome came up beside her, "What's wrong, Rin-chan?"

"Sesshomaru-sama," she replied, "I know he said for my birthday I could have anything I want… but really Milord is all I could ever need. Inuyasha has angered him terribly, now I must sit here and wait for my master to return."

"Why do you call him 'master'?" Kagome asked, "He's your mate, you shouldn't have to use an honorific with his name."

Rin gasped, "I have always referred to my Sesshomaru-sama as so! It would be disrespectful otherwise."

"Always?"

"Always."

"Even when…?"

Rin blushed, "Hai, even then."

The miko whistled, "Well, isn't he a stickler for formalism." She looked up at the warring brothers, "Rin, I think you're going to be waiting awhile. Why don't I give you a present?"

Her eyes lit up.

Kagome pulled an iPod from her kimono pocket, "Have you ever seen The Lion King?"

The sun was already setting when Sesshomaru found Rin sitting alone on the roof of the miko's hut, staring at a strange metal device with its tentacles in her ears. A classic smile lit her face.

"Hi, Sesshomaru-sama! Where's Inu-kun?"

"In the river," he answered coolly, "What is that you have?"

"A present from Kagome-chan. Is Inuyasha okay?" She thought the light in his eyes were unnaturally bright.

"If you mean, did I kill him? No, this Sesshomaru was merely curious as to see if his brother could swim." He swiftly changed the subject, "Come to me, this Sesshomaru requires your touch."

Rin hastily ran into his arms, kissing along the lower edge of his jaw.

"Hn," he purred, "Perhaps I shall pup you tonight."

"We are not yet acclaimed official mates," she pointed out, as he reached around to untie her obi, "We need your mother's blessing."

"My mother," he growled lowly, "Can go chase her tail. What type of influence can she have over this Sesshomaru?" He started lapping at the sensitive flesh of her neck. Reluctantly, Rin relaxed in his arms.

"Knock, knock," a voice drawled.

He knew it was too good to be true. This day – aside from it being the birth date of his reason for existence - was an unrelenting nightmare. However this just took the cake.

Sesshomaru pulled himself from Rin's neck to glare viciously at Inukimi.

"What are you doing here?"

"It is a pleasure to see you as well, My Son," her sharp amber eyes zeroed in on his mate, scanning for flaws, "Tell me, Sesshomaru, when were you planning on informing your dearest mother you were engaged?"
