Thank you to SessRinLover and Itzatakahashi for reviewing! And to answer your question, Rin will develop her own special abilities, along with some of Sesshomaru's. I want to give her her own special "powers" while also giving her abilities that I feel all full blooded InuYoukai would have. If you have any suggestions or things you would like to see let me know!
Chapter Seventeen
After Sesshomaru was satisfied Rin had eaten enough, he sat the tray beside the bed and stretched out in front of her. She eagerly accepted his head in her lap and ran her fingers through his long silvery locks, even stroking the wrinkles between his furrowed eyebrows with her fingernail.
"Sesshomaru...talk to me? What's bothering you?"
"It...you'd think it's ridiculous...forget it."
"No. I won't forget it," she persisted and gripped his chin. "Tell me, or I'll assume the worst. It's that little red haired whore that seems to be around every corner you turn, isn't it?"
"Rin," he laughed. "Listen to yourself. No. It's not Sakimeri. I swear."
"I'm sorry...I don't know where that came from..." she looked at her hands and back to his chiseled features, his eyes never opening. "Please tell me...I worry for you."
"Rin, you've nothing to worry about. Do you not think I can take care of myself?"
"I know you can take care of yourself. Physically. But everyone needs to vent sometimes, that's all. If you ever need to talk to me...ya know it's kind of my job now to listen," she tugged his ear playfully and he shot one eye open, smirking back at her.
"I talk to you...I've talked to you for years, in your sleep."
"That doesn't count," she retorted.
"Okay fine. I'll think about it. I'm not used to this..."
"Used to what? A nagging mate?," she teased trying to lighten the mood.
"No...I'm not used to these feelings. I need to figure out what to say before I can talk to you about it. I don't have the words," he admitted softly and closed his eyes again, relaxing back into her touch. They stayed like this for a long time, eventually Sesshomaru fell asleep and Rin relaxed back against the headboard, her fingers still braided in his hair. Not the least bit tired, she was content just holding him. He'd only lain his head in her lap once before, five years ago.
Rin felt the same but was starting to feel somewhat...different. She looked down at her mate and giggled when she realized he looked just like her when she slept in his lap. He was curled on his side using her lap as a pillow, one hand tucked under her knees, and the other cuddling her new fur close to his face. The door crept open quietly and she was faced with Diaroku, Jaken cowering behind the old demon as Sesshomaru had been moody to say the least toward the imp.
"L-lady Rin. I didn't expect you to be awake and...radiant as ever," he stammered and Rin regarded him with confusion.
"Master Diaroku...do you need me to wake Sesshomaru?"
"No...well not now. But I've just received word that Inuyasha and his family have crossed the border. They should be here by days end."
"Oh...okay. Who's all with them?," she started to get excited and Jaken scoffed.
"The whole lot. Monk and all."
"Oh yay! I can't wait!," she quipped excitedly and almost woke Sesshomaru, but soothes his hair back until his breathing leveled.
"Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell him when he wakes."
"If you need anything, send Jaken for me."
"I will," she nodded with a smile and they made their exit.
"Hnnn," he stirred as the door closed. "Who's there," he mumbled and drug his eyes open, never lifting his head as he scanned the room.
"Rin...were Diaroku and Jaken here?"
"Mhm. Just to let you know that Inuyasha will be arriving by nightfall."
"Oh...great," he groaned and looked up at her for the first time, his eyes almost popping from their sockets.
"R-Rin...y-y-you have-" he stammered and sat up in the bed, still searching for words and he grabbed the small mirror from beside the bed and handed to her.
"Oh...my...god. I have ears? Dog ears? Wh-what the hell? How did this happen?," she looked back to him horrified, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
"Rin...Rin calm down. It's alright. Why are you so upset?"
"B-b-b-because n-n-now I'm hideous," she cried and his heart shattered.
"No no no, sweetheart. You aren't hideous. You're the most beautiful woman who ever lived, who ever will live," he stated and pulled her against his chest.
"But...but- you said that Inuyasha was a hideous half breed and and and you said you wanted to rip his ugly little ears off!," she wailed and he couldn't help but chuckle slightly.
"Well on you they're downright adorable. And they're adorable on my nieces and nephew. You've heard me say that before also...have you not?," he questioned and put a claw under her chin, pulling her face up to meet his gaze.
"Well...yes, I suppose you have..." she flushed and looked down at her hands.
"And I meant it. You know as well as I do that half of the things I say about Inuyasha are purely out of spite. I've only ever meant a handful of it," he admitted.
"I know...they're quite cute...i don't know what got into me..." she looked back to him apologetically.
"I think I know," he dipped his head and kissed her belly. "I believe that was the doing of the baby in your belly."
"So...does the baby in my belly want me to kiss his daddy?," she batted her eyelashes.
"Hmm...let's see," he pulled up her robe and put an ear to her stomach for a moment.
"No...it would seem not. It would seem that the child thinks it would be more fitting for me to kiss his mommy," he grinned at her seductively and pushed her back to lay under him, pinning her lips under his. She knotted her hands in his hair and pulled hard, earning an appreciative growl from him as he pressed his hardness into her leg.
"Sesshomaru-"
"No," he suddenly pulled back and stopped, inches from her face. "Rin, we can't."
"But why?"
"Because. Your transformation is not yet complete. I was warned to be very careful with you for three full days, Rin."
"Yes," she pouted. "I know. I just want you soooo bad," she pressed herself against him and he held her still.
"Trust me," he twitched his nose. "I'm aware. One more day...in the morning you can lock me in the bedroom and have your way with me," he nuzzled her nose and she gave him a short kiss.
"This is so strange...these urges...are they because I'm pregnant or because I'm a demon now?," she looked to him expectantly as she'd always done before but, for the first time, he didn't have the answer.
"I'm not sure, but I will find out. Is that alright?," he hoped.
"Yes...Sesshomaru?"
"What is it?"
"How am I going to have my way with you if we have a castle full of people in the morning," she stuck her lip out and he let out a short laugh at her.
"I'm sure you'll find a way love...now what would you like for dinner? I'll go and get it for you, and I'll stop by and borrow a book or two from Diaroku."
"Ummmmm...surprise me...I think I'll have a bath while you're gone."
"Not too hot...the baby."
"I know," she kissed between his eyebrows. "Now go so you can get back."
"Yes, My Lady," he smirked and made his exit.

Not very long but I thought it would be a cute little filler. Please review :)
