Hello everyone. Sorry it took so long to update. I was busy with homework and tests are coming up soon for me. After that though...I will be home free. Also...I have other stories on My name there is LadyKayaka. Just for those who are interested.

TiTi awoke in his demon form. His strong body moved in the sheets as Kara layed next to him. Their own pups, born months before sleeping quietly in a crib...for now. He shifted his body in the bed so that he could see the sky out of his window and knew that it must be around midnight or so. His hair was wild and full like it had always been as he sighed. It was time for work again. That is what the purple, black, and dark streaks of blue outside ment, and today...he had alot to do. Today..they would celabrate Rin's new additon to her family. They didn't have a chance to because of all the drama and wars that have been going on as of late. They agreed that the neighboring kingdoms and townspeople were allowed to come. They didn't want the whole country though. He sat up and rubbed at his forhead. He always got a headache in the morning...which made him grumpy. As he got out of bed and walked towards his bathroom he changed into his tiger form to bathe, seeing as he had no time to do it in his demon form.

He let the mini waterfall of water from the washroom wash over him as he growled in relaxation. He had been hunting, running, training, fighting, and walking all the time for the past few weeks. Kara and MiMi had taken off because of their pups and were not coming back to work until the pups turned at least ten. He let the water get into his ears and face as he sneezed and shaked the water from his face. His black fur dampening in the heat. After he was sure with himself that he was clean, he transformed back into his demon form and shaked the water from his hair. Walking out of the bathroom and changing into his black uniform he felt a shock of shiver run up his spine when he looked up from his mirror to see his mate starring at him. Her white long hair resting on her back. Her green eyes shone with interest.

", You do funny things when you wake up TiTi. You did not relize that I heard you from the moment you opened your eyes? Honestly now...have commen sense my dear...ill hearing is not good. Your in a line above the general TiTi..have to keep up the image.", said Kara as he rolled his eyes while he fixed his collar.

", Really...tell me somthing I don't know? We have to start getting ready for Lady Rin's ball today. Kuma is going to help me today. His army is going to do practice drills while he helps with the sercurity work. Tarin, Lady Kagome, Lady Sango, Lady Izyoi, and your grace is going to help decorate the place. Lady Rin and Lord Sesshomaru will be gone for the day.", he said as he looked around for his hair ribbon and clasp. He grumbled to himself when he could not find it.

", Damn where did it go?!", he cursed as he opened the cabinets and drawers. He had to be out in less than ten mintues. Kara laughed softly as she came in the bathroom and reached into a bin onto of the shelf that was in there. Pulling out his black hair ribbon and clasp she sighed.

", You put it there last night after bathing Kunta for me. I guess you had forgotten where you put it.", said Kara as she watched him take it and quickly put it on.

", Lucky for you! Your not the one doing double shift to keep up your drills this week.", said TiTi as Kara shook her head.

", Okay...I have to admit to that. You do work hard.", she said as he nodded while putting on his black shoes, walking out the room as she followed him.

", Yes I do. But...it doesn't bother me.", said TiTi as he tied on his black hilt tie to his belt.

", I know it doesn't. But the way you have to go. MiMi told me yesturday that some new demons tresspassed in the area...be careful..", said Kara.

", I know Kara. I always am. Nothing new to me. I have been serving for mover two thousand years so far.", said TiTi as he hooked on his sword, tieing the hilt to the hilt tie. Tugging it to make sure that it was in place.

He walked around as he grabbed various books and files he would need. Getting about two daggers, placing one in his right leg pocket, the other in his ankle pocket. He then got his black and red mission hat and put it firmly on hid head as he made sure that it stayed in place. He then took his white gloves off the table and put them on as he made sure that he grabbed his case filled with his books and papers that he would need. He then took a mintue to study hid landing as Kara came up next to him, turning to look at him.

", I mean it. Be careful.", she said as he smiled and pulled her in a hug. Giving her a quick kiss as he smirked.

", I said I would Kara. I'm not going off to war anytime soon. I might be back earily so... be ready by time I come back. Keep the little ones in today. I will come back later to get you. I love you Kara, I'll be back around earily evening.", said TiTi as he transformed into his tiger form and leaped out into the still very dark air. The night was cold as Kara shivered alittle as she watched him start to go into the forest.

", Shut the door Kara! You'll get sick!", he yelled to her as he looked back before bounding off into the trees. She smiled as she shut the door and went back to bed. She pulled the covers up over her and thought for a moment before falling back to sleep. Maybe...just maybe this would be a good day.

----------------------------------------------

Rasha was also bounding off into the trees, he who just left his own domain saw TiTi and leaped up ahead after him.

", Still dark out...the eclipse must be coming soon.", said Rasha in his smooth voice as TiTi nodded.

", Any soilder who has eyes can tell that Rasha, but then again...the rookies can't.", said TiTi in his strong and ruff one.

", I see..anything planned for today?", asked Rasha as they passed some sleeping dragons and beasts. There snores and grunts loud and making the earth below them tumble.

", All there is, is making sure the soilders are tight is all...we have to finish this run first.", said TiTi as Rasha chuckled.

", I see...the party is tonight after all. It is so exciting to the town. It has been many long years since then.", said Rasha with happiness.

", Yeah...I can tell things will go well. Invatations have been sent out as far as Lord Reyoku could get them...we shall see.", TiTi said as they flew over some rocks. The sky was warm and soft with the movement of their bodies. The land was still very cold though. Rasha let hs orange mane fly out in the wind as he sighed.

", I want this to be a great party. After all...Lady Rin has just recovered.", said Rasha as they saw the castle up ahead.

", Yeah...Tarin told me that she is back on her feet again...which is good. Lady Yumiko knows best.", TiTi as the guards saw them and bowed. The black gate opened the reveal the huge ground that went on for miles before getting to the castle. They flew quickly as they made it to the castle to see Darkshadow standing, waiting for them.

", Welcome TiTi, Rasha. Good morning. I trust your mates are doing well?", he asked as they nodded their heads.", Good. We have alot of work today. Soilders are to be retaught their post and rank with help of the general. After that, you have to go into town and pick up a special order that Lord Reyoku himself demanded you to get. After that you must make sure that the major rooms look nice.", said Darkshadow as they nodded.

", I understand. We are having entertainment...right?", asked Rasha as Darkshadow let out a deep chuckle. His spot on the many white steps that led up to the door he almost lost balance on.

", Yes Rasha. We are having performers and speakers of all kinds. Including the Sawque Indains who are performing a storytelling act.", said Darkshadow as they nodded. The Sawque would be something interesting. Their princess had been a friend of Rin's for the longest time. That and festival performers, dancers, puppet shows, shadow shows, sky shows, element shows, and spiritual performing acts.

", Alright. Are the soilders ready yet?", asked TiTi as Darkshaow began to walk back inside.

", Yes. Their waiting for you. ", said Darkshadow as they bowed before disappearing towards the army feilds. Darkshadow shook his head as he went back inside to go to his Lord's office, to give him the paper for the grand event.

------------------------------------------

The bright sun poured through Rin's window as she awoke to find Sesshomaru next to her. She smiled as she saw his purple markings line his smooth face as she couldn't help but lift a finger and trace one of his marks. His eyes fluttered before they shot open to look at her. His moon-kissed hair that flowed down the left side of his face and onto the bed, while the rest spread out around his large frame like a blanket, mad him look godsent. His amber eyes, so unreadale to a person who would look at them. They would have no idea what he was thinking. But when she looked into his eyes..his feelings always somehow managed to slip through. His eyes stuided her brown mixed with hints of amber ones and he raised a hand to stroke her black hair.

", Goodmorning...", she said as she smiled warmly at him. He blinked once.

", Goodmorning Rin...did you sleep well?", he asked her as she nodded. She scooted her body closer to his and buried her face in his chest. Her words he could just about hear as he smirked.

", Now that your here..wonderful.", said Rin as he sighed.

", Good...", he said as Rin shot her head up. She then sat up and tackled him back into the bed. Her arms holding his as she looked into his eyes. She made a little noise as she taped her fingernails on his muscles.

", Are you still battling with yourself Sesshomaru? Don't lie.", she said as he raised an eyebrow. His gaze softened only a little bit.

", You truly forgive me...are you sure this Sesshomaru is not being tricked?", he asked as Rin groaned. His mentally slapped herself as she felt like banging her head against something.

", No your not...If you were..would I do this?", said Rin as she leaned over to capture his lips in hers as she gave him a soft kiss. Running her tounge over his bottom lip as she felt him kiss back. She broke away softly as she looked at him.

", Rin...", he whispered as she smiled.

", I'm glad that you see things my way Mr. It took me a long time and some convincing to do what I did last night. Do you know I had to sit in the tube for ten mintues! Ten! And it burned! All this torture was for you so be happy cause I won't be doing it often! ", said Rin as he growled before licking her neck. She shuddered under his movement.

", Thank you for taking it for me..it was greatly appreciated.", said Sesshomaru as Rin giggled.

", Your welcome. So...ready for the big day today?", asked Rin as Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow before it clicked. Today their childern would be introduced to the world of Youmaru as well as Sesshomaru's kind. Their marking day. Since Rin and Sesshomaru were separte races...they would get both marks, Moon and Sun. Sesshomaru nodded as he stroked Rin's hair.

", Yes...I remember. My family will be their. I know. The pups will be marked today.", said Sesshomaru as Rin smiled.

", Yep, that right.", she said as she suddenly smelt her sister's scent outside their door.

", That's right! Which means you have to wake up now and get moving! No time for morning forplay kids! Hurry up Rin!", yelled her sister as a deep blush crossed both their faces. Rin looked the other way as she giggled like crazy.

She hid in Sesshomaru shoulder as she rolled her eyes. Her sister just had to torment her now? Why Tarin...Why?

", Thank you for the unwelcomed wake up call sister!", yelled back Rin angerly as she heard her sister giggle as her steps became distant. She would get Tarin for that later. That she promised.

", I think that is our cue...", said Sesshomaru as he sat up with Rin in his lap. She hung her arms around his shoulders as she sighed.

", Yeah I know...sometimes I hate her for that...", said Rin as Sesshomaru picked her up and carried her out of bed towards the bathroom. She smirked. They decided to have their bath together this morning. Rin pulled in Sesshomaeu with her as she shut the door playfully.

After their bath..Sesshomaru walked out in white hakama pants and looked to find an ouitfit for him. It was the morning wear for a prince of the west. There was one like the one he had except it was a kimono. The design was black silk with gold designs on it. A red dog sign showed from the back of the clothing as a dog tail wound around the torse part, over the shouler, and past the chest area. The trim was gold as his boots were black. A black hair tie laid next to his clothes. He raised an eyebrow that this. They were making him where a hair tie? What had he done to deserve this?

Sesshomaru put on the outfit after putting on his white top. The he put on a red top to go over his white one and pulled on his pants that looked like the white ones he wore, only black. He put on his black boots, tucking the bottom of the pant leg in his boot. He then stood up and put on the black top that went down to his knees, leaving some of the white hakama out

. He then looked at himself in the mirror, before putting on his two swords, tieing them to his garment. After that he went to put the fluff on his shoulder, then picked up the hair tie and stared at it for about two mintues. Did he really want to put this on? He really didn't want to.

Rin came out of the bathroom and practically drooled at Sesshomaru's form. The black out made him look like a god. The whole outfit went and wove around him like a river. Every piece...every item on his body completed it. His hair was still abit messy as he held a black a hair tie in his hand. He seemed to be looking at it like it was an ugly demon raging to attack. She smiled and sighed. Sesshomaru turned to look at her.

", You look handsom...", she said as gave a slight nod. She walked towards him and traced the black ribbon in his hand. ", I know..you never wanted to be like your father...but this is a specail day. You must represent your lands..Sesshomau. As I am your lady, and must walk alongside you as the lady of those lands.", said Rin as she took the ribbon out of his hands and grabbed a jade comb. She combed his sliver locks slowly as she smoothed out his hair until it was silk. His hair was soft as she combed his tips until they were in place.

After that, she brushed his hair until it was thick. She let the hair ribbon raise in his face, taunting him like a cat going after a yarn ball.

", Let me put it on...", she said as he nodded. She pulled back Sesshomaru's hair before she took the hair ribbon and tied Sesshomaru's hair up as she let her hands fall and peered around Sesshomaru's shoulder only to gasp. Sesshomaru looked at himself in the mirror and looked at himself as if his father was looking back at him.

", You look handsom Sesshomaru...a striking image of my savoir...", whispered Rin into his ear as she smiled.

", If I must...", he said as she smiled. Sesshomaru turned around to see her.

", You are beauitful...Rin.", he said as she blushed. He kissed her lips softly as she moaned and kissed back.

", Thank you...", said Rin as she went to put on her own kimono. The same design curved over Rin's shoulders as she slid on the garment. Sleeves that went down to the waist went around loosly around her waist and hands. A gold sash tied around her as it traveled down to the ankle. Once she was done, she and Sesshomaru were dressed alike. She smiled. Their evening wear would be the same except that Rin would have an added piece that went on the back like a long half skirt and a red kimono would be added on. Her hair would also change.. It being black and trailing behind her alittle. Sesshomaru would have while gloves on and an extra gold cape going down to his knees added to his black hori top.

", I love it...I really do.", Rin said as she twirled around. She let her hair swirl around her as she looked at the way it wrapped around.

", You look ravishing Rin.", said Sesshomaru as Rin giggled lightly. She always got flushed when Sesshomaru commented her on something.

", Thank you Sesshomaru...", said Rin as a knock came onto their door. They both looked in that direction as they waited. Their pups started to make small whinning noises, telling them that they were soon to wake.

", Enter.", said Sesshomaru as two maids entered.They kept their gaze lowered to the ground as they bowed to the floor. They did not speak for fear of waking the childern.

", Good morning Lady Rin. Lord Sesshomaru. We have been ordered by Lord Reyoku to do Lady Rin's hair and make-up.", said one of the maids as Rin nodded.

", I'll be done in a few mintues...", said Rin as Sesshomaru nuzzled her cheek before going out the door, he decided to walk to the small library nearby.

Rin watched him leave before she turned back to the servant girls. They awed at her apperence.

", Lady Rin...you just look wonderful!", said the other maid as Rin smiled before they went to do her hair. They combed and brushed it out before pulling it up into a high ponytail. They somehow made the long strands curly and let them fall around Rin's face and waist. They pinned a few up so that they brushed her forhead and one stood in front of her eye.

Afterwards, they put red blush on cheeks, not to much thought and added a clear gloss to her lips. They then made her eyeshadow a light red as they painted black small lines around her sun flower mark on her forhead. Then they made sure that her hair and make-up were straight before they looked at her. They stood back to look at their work and watched as Rin looked in the mirror.

", Wow ladies! I look beauitful! Thnak you so much!", said Rin as she smiled towards them. She touched her face with her fingertips and noticed how grown- up she looked.

", Your welcome Lady Rin...we shall take our leave now and meet you when evening comes.", said the girls as they walked out the door. Sesshomaru came back in with a smile on his face when he saw heer. He had to look over her a moment to make sure that it was really her. He captured her in an embrace.

", You are truly my Lady of the Western Lands...", he whispered in her ear as she sighed.

", Thank you Sesshomaru...I try hard..", she said as she heard her pups squeal nearby. She smiled as she broke away from him and went to them. Today..might be a good day. But it was only the beginning.

I hope you all enjoyed it! Bye!
