I just finished a ton of yard work. I had to drive the rose and blackberry scraps out to the dumpsite in the back yard and right in the middle of the trail was this huge thing of fallen poison ivy. The huge hulking barky vine verity. Much fun, any way on with chap one part two.

She felt tears well up in her eyes, she knew better then to cry. Crying never made anything better she knew that. She looked up toward the direction that Sesshomaru had gone. She waited and thought she saw some one coming. Wait she did see someone, no two people! The taller was undoubtedly Sesshomaru but who was the other? It was a female yokai, a kitsuni she thought. Wearing a midnight blue kimono with a forest green obi. It was pretty. Hers was much nicer though being made of silk. It was purple with silver embroidery at the hems and a matching indigo obi. Sesshomaru had said she looked beautiful in it.

"Sesshomaru-sama!!!" Jaken called. Sesshomaru stopped saw Rin and smiled at her sweetly. He'd been doing that a lot lately she thought. But it didn't bother her in fact she liked it. She knew why as well, she wasn't naïve, she knew about what went on behind closed doors so to speak. "Rin I would like to speak with you. Alone." Said Sesshomaru. This got her attention. He'd never done that before. 'What could he want?' she wondered. She fallowed him to a more secluded area of the forest. Leaving Jaken with the kitsuni. "Rin. I want to discuss your future." He stated. "Nani!?" sense when did he ask her about any thing, much less this. And she knew he was talking about her choosing a mate. "Rin we both know that you need to take a mate," he stated flatly "I intended to choose one for you but realized that would be unfair. You fallowed me out of free will and therefore I have no control over your choice." He said. Her mouth was hanging open; literally, all she could do was stare at him. He wanted her to choose a mate. She didn't even know any men, save Sesshomaru of course. 'What am I going to do?' she thought just then an evil smirk spread across her sweet face. Sesshomaru never said he was off limits.

Yes I avoided great globs of sappiness. Oh and the other demon will be explained in the next chappie. Thanks for the reviews slyslicra and Brownie- luving Icee-chan.

Hope everyone's spring break was better than mine FTO
