Sesshomaru felt Rin stirring. He looked out the window and the sun was just rising over the horizon. Rin jerked awake and sat up. Sesshomaru smelled the salty water from her tears. He sat up beside her stroking her long hair like he used to do when she was a child and had nightmares from being attacked by wolves. "Rin, are you alright?" Sesshomaru asked with concern clearly within his voice.

An odd feeling came over him as the thought of her regretting being his mate came to mind. "Do you regret becoming my mate?" Sesshomaru asked. Rin stopped all thought at his question. She turned to him and climbed into his lap, her eyes staring deeply into his golden ones. "Listen to me, Sesshomaru, I will never, ever regret mating you. You have had my love, adoration, my heart, body, and soul since I was a child." Rin stated calmly.

Sesshomaru nodded his head. He had always known he had her love since childhood. "Sesshomaru, my tears were a reaction from the dream I had." Rin added explaining the tears. Sesshomaru nodded his head. He wrapped his fur around her as he held her to his chest; giving her time to process her dream. "I could see a young demon, he looked kinda like you, I had my nagianta draw and laid over my shoulder. I stood before a village sworn to protect them from the demon. I told him to change his course, but he kept coming toward me."
