Chapter V
I Have Always Loved You.
THREE DAYS LATER
Rin sat out in the garden surprised. It had been three days since her fight with Nioka and Sesshomaru had not punished her.
That was odd. Although he had never really punished her before. He would always confine her to her room for about an hour and then he would give in and she would be back off of punishment again. During her earlier teen years the arguments that they had would last for hours but Sesshomaru always gave in and let Rin have her way. Rin wouldn't even let him send her to her room because she would always storm out before he had a chance to.
Rin smiled, closed her eyes and let the sweet summer breeze glide across her like silken veils. After a while Rin's mind started to drift off and she started to daydream about her and Sesshomaru.

Nioka saw Rin sitting down in the garden with her head back and her eyes closed. The warm summer night's breeze was intoxicating and she knew what she must do. She had talked to one of the rogue male dog demons that did not reside in the castle and he had agreed to be her scapegoat. Nioka would place the lust potion in Rin's drink and somehow get her to consume it and then place the dog demon in front of Rin so that once she consumed her drink he would be the first thing she saw. Nioka knew exactly how her plan would work. She had obtained some extra spicy fish from the cook and would get Rin to eat it which would in turn make her drink the potion thus falling for the demon. Nioka was so proud of herself she wish she could pat herself on her own back, which she tried.
"Now Sesshomaru will be mine," she whispered.

Sesshomaru was walking down the halls of his castle searching for Rin. Her celebration party was less than two days away and he had still not found a mate for her. Truth be told Rin should have already been mated by now, but Sesshomaru felt that she had not matured enough for him to find a mate for her. Rin had remained the innocent and sweet child for long and when she finally entered her teenage years her whole attitude had completely changed. Rin and he would argue non stop over minor things and Sesshomaru knew that if he had brought up anything about mating during that time he would have started a war. Rin seemed somewhat alien to him during her teenaged years and he never wanted to visit those again. He smiled to himself when he recalled his little spit fire and her fiery ways.
Sesshomaru had once thought about mating Rin himself but he knew that Rin only thought of him as somewhat of a father or friend or big brother even though he did not think of her in the same light. At first when he had saved her life with his sword he only saw a beautiful misfortunate child who needed someone to take care of as he needed someone to take care of him. Sesshomaru didn't realize how much he was in love with Rin until three years ago. He knew then that she had stolen his heart and there was nothing he could do.
Sesshomaru followed Rin's sweet scent which was carried to him on the warm summer night's breeze.

Rin smiled languidly as she stared up at the many stars that were in the sky and wished on all of them that Sesshomaru and she would be together one day. Just then Baken, who was a toad demon like Jaken only female came up to Rin and smiled. Baken worked for Nioka as her personal servant. Baken came up with a tray of goodies in her hand and smiled at Rin. Rin smiled back at her. Rin liked Baken she was completely different from her master and Rin knew that she secretly liked Jaken and he her. They were just too shy to say anything to one another. Rin prayed that would not be the case between her Sesshomaru.
Baken approached Rin carrying a tray of some type of fish glazed in a special red sauce and sake.
"Baken what is this for?" Smiled Rin as she accepted the offered tray from Baken.
"I saw you out here all alone and I knew that you had barely touched your food so I thought to bring this to you," she said as she smiled at Rin.
"Thank you," said Rin as she looked at the tray. "It smells delicious."
"Would you like to sit with me as well?" Asked Rin of Baken.
Baken declined and stated that she needed to do some things for her Mistresses to which Nioka rolled her eyes. Baken then left Rin all alone in the garden. Baken remembered her mistress telling her to take the tray to Rin because the cook had seen that she had not been eating properly and he wanted to make sure that she was ok. Baken did not think anything of it and took the tray to Rin.
Baken absolutely loved the girl. She was nice, sweet and smart girl- everything that her mistress was not. As Baken walked through the castle walls and her mind ended up back on Jaken to which she was deeply involved in a daydream. Baken decided to go and find Jaken.

Rin picked up the sweet spicy glazed fish to place the succulent morsel in her mouth when she saw Sesshomaru approach her. Rin put the fish back down on the tray and smiled a welcoming smile to him. Sesshomaru smiled back and took a seat next to Rin on the lush green lawn.
A dog demon came on to the lawn just then and Sesshomaru growled lowly at the male demon. The dog demon looked as if he would perish from the spot and immediately left. Sesshomaru frowned. He did not know the scent of the male demon and would have to investigate it later.
Rin frowned as the male dog demon immediately left the lawn when Sesshomaru growled a warning at him. Rin wondered who he was. She has never seen him around before. Maybe he was one of Nioka's boy toys.
"What's this?" Asked Sesshomaru as he looked at Rin's food on her tray.
"I was just about to take a bite when you showed up," she said smiling to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru picked up one of the pieces of the fish and placed it in his mouth and chewed. Rin was just about to place a piece of the fish into her mouth as well when she saw Sesshomaru gagging on the side of her. Rin quickly picked up the whole tea pitcher of sake and gave it to Sesshomaru to drink; Sesshomaru drank it greedily and took exasperated breaths. Rin rubbed Sesshomaru on his back to calm him down and took the tray away. Obviously the fish was too hot for him; Rin wondered why he hadn't been able to tell that by his sense of smell alone.
"Sesshomaru?" Asked Rin concerned.
Sesshomaru looked up at Rin with eyes so intense that they took Rin's breath away. Rin was sure that she saw something primal and feral in their deep golden depths.
"Sesshomaru?" Asked Rin breathlessly.
Sesshomaru grabbed Rin around her waist and pulled her onto his lap and kissed her deep and hard.
"Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yelled Nioka from across the lawn.
