I walked back to my room with Sesshomaru's guards following me. I wondered if I would ever be able to go somewhere without them. They stopped outside of Sesshomaru's door as I walked inside. At least they weren't supposed to follow me inside. When I walked inside Sesshomaru was there with Jaken. My eyes widen in shock. Why was he here? I thought Jaken was looking after his home. Jaken saw me come in and frowned. He stopped talking immediately as if he was trying to keep something from me. I frowned.

"Welcome back Rin." Sesshomaru said as he took my hand and brought me closer to him. I smiled slightly at him and placed my bag down on the ground.

"Jaken what are you doing here?" I asked while giving him a friendly smile.

"I happen to be discussing some very important business plans with Lord Sesshomaru! They are private and not meant for the likes of your ears Rin, so you should go to—"

Sesshomaru snarled at Jaken angrily which made him cowered backwards and shake in fear. "You will speak to my mate with respect and address her correctly or I shall rip out your vocal cords and make it so you never speak again."

"M-My apologies my lady!" He said looking at me nervously.

Sesshomaru nodded looking appeased. I frowned at look at him, "Sesshomaru…he doesn't need to address me like that. He can call me Rin." I said softly. I didn't need Jaken to resent me anymore then he already did.

He shook his head, "No Rin, he may not address you by your name. He is my servant and will address you with the proper respect you deserve."

I sighed and nodded. There was no fighting him on this, not when he had that stubborn edge to his voice. "Fine. Should I go to our room? Do you not want me here for your discussion?" I asked.

He narrowed his eyes back on Jaken. Jaken took a hesitant step backwards. "Rin you do not have to retire to our room if you do not wish it. Stay." He said wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me onto his lap as he sat on a chair. He looked at Jaken with irritation but waved a hand at him. "Continue where you left off."

Jaken nodded and pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed at his sweaty forehead. He licked his lips and said, "Yes my lord. Naraku is desperate to find a way to take down your company! He made a similar one of his own. It's like he is trying to take everything you love! We cannot stand for this!" Jaken shouted getting overly emotional.

Sesshomaru's arm tightened around me slightly, "The only thing I love is sitting right here in my lap." I felt my face flush but when he said that it make me feel so warm. "As for Naraku, he will not succeed in attempting to destroy my company. If he continues to push me I will drive my sword through his heart." My eyes widen. He said that so casually. Killing was second nature to Sesshomaru and it still shocked me how easily he could bring it up. Like we were discussing the weather.

"Isn't there a more peaceful way to settle this rivalry?" I asked.

Jaken laughed and shook his head. I could tell he wanted to say something very nasty to me but he was on thin ice with Sesshomaru and he wouldn't risk it at the moment. I honestly didn't mind his comments. Usually whatever he said didn't faze me too much, he is just protective over Sesshomaru. "No my lady…peace will not work in this situation." Jaken said clenching his jaw angrily. I could tell he hated addressing me like that. He didn't think I was worthy of Sesshomaru, and he was right. I'm not.

"Rin listen to me." Sesshomaru said, "Naraku is no laughing matter. He is vicious and I do not want him anywhere near you. He would try to use you to destroy me."

I nodded, "I promise I'll stay away from him." Sesshomaru looked satisfied. After a long conversation between Jaken and Sesshomaru I grew bored and went to the kitchen table to begin my homework. Jaken attempted to try and stay the night but Sesshomaru wasn't having it. He kicked him out…or really threw him out. I cringed when I heard him hit the hallway wall. Hard. Very hard.

After that Sesshomaru had a slight smile. He enjoyed tossing Jaken around. We settled down for the night and ate dinner. I noticed that Sesshomaru was in a very good mood after he threw Jaken against the wall. Now was the time to ask him. "Sesshomaru?" I asked taking a sip of water.

"Yes Rin?" He said looking up at me from his wine.

"I would like to go out with Kagome this weekend to the mall…" I began. He narrowed his eyes at me. I quickly added, "Of course I'll bring along my guards!"

"As if I would trust them so far away with you. School is one thing. Everyone here fears my name."

"I think most fear your name outside of the school walls as well." I gave him a small smile trying to lighten the mood. "But Kagome's mate Inuyasha will be going too." He looked agitated. Oh boy…that was not the way to sell this.

"As I would trust that half breed to protect you!" He shook his head and sighed, "Very well, if you wish to attend the mall with your friend then I shall go as well."

I think my eyes nearly popped out of my head. Was he serious? I honestly couldn't picture him at a mall but I quickly nodded not wanting him to change his mind. "Oh thank you Sesshomaru." I got up from the table and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back just as tightly and once again pulled me in his lap.

"You will owe me for this mate." He said with a small smirk.

I blinked, "What do you want?"

His smirk turned devious, "I have yet to decide but I have a few ideas."

My face turned red and then his lips came crashing down on mine in a very passionate kiss that had me moaning against his mouth. Man he could really kiss. I only hope that he can get along one day with his brother.
