Rin tossed and turned having to wait for this next meeting. She didn't want to upset her patients by canceling their sessions with her. She thought it was ironic that she was a psychologist, and she is going to marriage counseling. All in all, she had to do what she had to do for her. She couldn't be there for her patients if she was not mentally there. So, she made sure she called her patients to see if they would like to reschedule or be referred to another psychologist. Luckily, she has some loyal clients, they chose to stay with her, and they understood her situation and said take as much time as she needed. She said she would follow up with them as soon as she gets the time.
Sesshomaru was getting impatient by the day. He gave the option for his staff to work from home. He must be in their good graces because they all decided to keep working under him. It was business as usual for him, but it was a lot quieter since it was only him at the office. Sesshomaru did lose a couple partners, but that it didn't affect him being that he had been doing this forever. He understood why they left but everyone makes mistakes, they too have had some scandals themselves with multiple mistresses. I guess they were trying to impress their wives, so it made sense to make those moves.
Rin gets dressed and ready for her session with Sesshomaru. She dedicated three sessions with Sesshomaru, she will see if they can get to some truth. She wanted to get some clarity and get to the bottom line. Sesshomaru puts on his suit, his hair in a high ponytail and looks at himself in the mirror. He really was not in the mood to hear what Rin had to say about her being sad, it would only bring him guilt.
Rin sees Sesshomaru in the waiting area and she greets him, and he nods. They are called to the back, and they take their seats in Dr. Tsukuyomaru office. He could feel both of them were not ready, but they were present, so this had to mean, this meant something to them both.
"I hope everyone is feeling well, I know this may be a tough session but you both will come out as better individuals. Now let's get to it, we all are trying to get on the same page, which is getting some understanding, some clarity".
"Rin you may start".
She turns to Sesshmaru, "I have heard what you been saying during counseling. I admit I didn't want to hear what you had to say when you popped up at my place of work. It was too fresh and I didn't care to hear what you had to say. I know that my schedule got busier, and I wasn't being who you wanted me to be for you. I can accept that I was not the wife I should have been, and whom you needed, I will own that. I just didn't think you would go that far and step out. I would have rather you divorce me and then do your thing. I can't get these images out of my head, every time I think I can forgive, I can't. It hurts too much to know my husband that I gave myself to would even think about pleasuring anyone else besides me. I gave myself to you and I cherished that, only you could do those things to me. I never thought I would be here with you contemplating divorce and spending my life without you, with someone else".
Sesshomaru stands and turns towards the window, he is trying to calm himself down.
"You belonged to me; I was supposed to be the only one that could see you in that state".
Tsukuyomaru looked to Rin and put his hand up to motion to let him have his time.
Sesshomaru was pissed at himself, how could he do this to her. She gave herself to him and she trusted him with that, and he enters himself into another. She should be the only one that knows what it feels like to have him inside. Even though he used condoms, it was the principle. He not only gave his body to another but his time to another, which he had enough of to fuck her for a whole year.
Sesshomaru calms and turns back to sit down.
"Sesshomaru did you hear her?"
"Yes".
"Sesshomaru tell your side".
He turns to Rin, "I hear you, my wife. I have also heard what you have spoken of during counseling. I was foolish into thinking I could find you in another. It is not easy as for me as it is for you Rin, demons are different. I Sesshomaru cannot live without you now that I have you, my wife, my mate. I think at times the bond would have helped in having more self-control of my feelings. I think about that a lot. All I wanted was you, every part of you, forever. When I stopped receiving that, I didn't know what to do. I felt when I expressed to you my feelings, they were ignored. I then turned to the first one that threw advances at me, and I took it without a second thought".
He hated having to admit that to Rin, but it was his truth.
He knew this part was going to be hard for Rin to hear but he had to say it. "Fucking her was unsatisfiable. I would imagine me having intercourse with you, to feel you and to see you writher but reality would hit me and it would be her. I tried so hard to mold her into you, but she could never be you. She could never be you ever, I wanted to believe that it could. I realized then I didn't have my wife anymore".
Rin eyes welled up, she hated having to hear him being inside another woman making her feel the way she should have been feeling.
"Stepping out of the marriage was my way to fill the void I was missing at home. My only coping mechanism was seeking someone that could satisfy the hunger I desired for my wife. We were like animals, not saying our relationship was based on sex but damn, that woman knows how to satisfy me, and I wasn't getting it anymore".
He is so spoiled. I must got it going on for him to admit that, she thinks, she felt pride.
"So, Rin from what I am gathering, you are mostly bothered by him stepping out to satisfying another and not fighting harder for the marriage".
"I know it seems selfish but those are my feelings".
"Yes, Rin you are entitled to those feelings".
"Sesshomaru you are saying you missed your wife and being that you felt like you couldn't reach your wife, you tried to find her in another".
Sesshomaru nods.
"It seems as though you both are sort of speaking the same language. You desire each other so much! You don't necessarily hate Sesshomaru, you hate the act. For Sesshomaru he wouldn't have never stepped out if he had his time with his wife. Neither one of you cared for the act but it was something that happened. This situation forced you both to pay attention to what was lacking in the marriage. Even though it came in a painful way and made both of you uncomfortable, it was necessary for it to happen. I hate to put it that way".
They both look at each other, it was true. They both did want each other badly. Rin agreed that she loved Sesshomaru but hated what he did.
"We were no longer on the same page and both of us are not who we once were when we got married. We should at least learn to adapt to the change by listening to each other's concerns".
Sesshomaru thought about what Rin said, he wanted Rin to be the same woman he married but that would be unrealistic. He changed some parts of himself throughout the centuries so he shouldn't want Rin to change herself.
"That is good to hear Rin but how will you move on with all this information? You say you can't get the images out of your head, what are you going to do about that? the infidelity as a whole".
Rin thought about that, how will she move on? How will she move on with Sesshomaru? To trust him again.
"It will take some self-re-evaluation of ourselves individually. We both have to look at our own faults and stop playing the blame game. Give each other the space we both need to grow and maybe". She looks to Sesshomaru, "We could start on a new leaf".
Sesshomaru liked that, he will pull out all the stops to win Rin back. He will prove himself to her.
"Well, it seems you have it all figured out Ms. Rin, that degree really paid off".
"Maybe so, I will follow up with my life coach as well. I may be a psychologist, but I don't have all the answers and I am not perfect; I have flaws".
Dr. Tsukuymaru looked to Rin and smiled, "That is good to know. If you all would like to come back being that this was technically our last session together. You can call my office anytime and we will set that up".
"I think we should," Rin says.
Sesshomaru sits up in his seat, "I agree, I feel that is best for us".
Rin smiles but never looks to him.
"So, you are both in agreeance of coming back and possibly working on your marriage further in the future so that you will all be on the same page once again?"
They answered at the same time, "Yes".
Rin cheeks became rosy.
"It will not be easy but if you both put in the work, you will succeed".
Sesshomaru felt appeased that Rin wanted to try again.
"The point of these sessions is to help you both communicate and listen to each other again because some way along the line you both forgot how to. I think we are going down a better path than before".
Dr. Tsukuyomaru stands up and says, "Alright you all have a good evening and I look forward to hearing from you soon".
Sesshomaru and Rin walk out of the building and Rin stops him, "We can call and text each other sometimes".
"I will".
Rin turns to leave and smiles, she finally was starting to feel good about everything.
Sesshomaru could not wait, he thought about him eventually being back in the house sheathing within her over and over again. He needed to make up for so much lost time.
Authors Note: I love hearing you all opinions and thoughts of this story. Thank you for the continued support. I am trying to conjure up a story for Yashahime, since it will be premiering in a matter of weeks. Hopefully I can come up with a one shot or something since they came out with a 2nd trailer.
