KagomeRoseWish: Sorry but Inu is taken. You can have Fluffy though. I'm glad you like my story!
Varan: Ok now onto Rin and Fluffy!!!
Riverswift sat watching Rin study the spell book. As soon as Rin became totally engrossed with her reading she would quietly slip away. Darkwing had passed on a message from Varan earlier. Rin and Sesshomaru were the only ones left. Well, she was sure she wouldn't have any trouble with Sesshomaru. Finally! Rin's concentration was wholly on the spell she was studying. Time to get to work! Riverswift quickly and silently exited the library and headed for Sesshomaru's study. She was surprised to find Jaken standing outside the door.
"Filthy rodent," he spat when he saw her. "What are you doing? Lord Sesshomaru is in there and I will not let the likes of you disturb him!" Riverswift glared at him and tried to pass. Jaken knocked her away with his staff. Apparently he had forgotten that Riverswift was no ordinary otter. He suddenly found himself encased in ice from the neck down. Riverswift pushed him out of the way and looked back at him before entering.
: That should teach you, you ugly toad! : Jaken cursed and tried to free himself to no avail. Very pleased with herself, Riverswift jumped up and pulled on the door handle. She jumped off as the door swung open and calmly walked into Sesshomaru's study.
Sesshomaru was sitting at his desk waiting for her. He had heard the small conflict going on outside the door. It was highly amusing to see his retainer be outsmarted by an animal. He was also curious as to why Riverswift had come on her own. He could tell Rin wasn't with her. They were usually inseparable from each other, so why was she alone now? He heard Jaken curse and gave a slight smile. Riverswift must have lost her temper. The door opened and the small otter trotted into his study looking quite pleased with herself.
"Hello Riverswift," he greeted. "I see you have spoken to Jaken." Riverswift chirped merrily at him and jumped onto his desk. She walked over and settled herself down on the book he had been reading. Once she was comfterble she looked up at him.
: Hello Sesshomaru, : she said. : I hope I'm not disturbing you, :
"No not at all," he told her. "But may I ask why you are here? I suspect it has something to do with Rin, seeing as she isn't with you."
: Well yes, it does have to do with Rin. Do you remember when you talked to her about her having a mate? You told her that only a demon could handle her and she asked what you meant? You said you would tell her once Naraku was taken care of. Surely you haven't forgotten that. :
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
: Then why haven't you told her? She can't wait forever you know. : Sesshomaru looked down at her haughtily.
"I will speak to her when I feel it is the right tome to do so," he told her stiffly.
: Of course, of course. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten. : She stood and stretched leisurely. : I'll take my leave now if I may. I left Rin studying in the library. She's probably wondering where I am. : She jumped off of the desk and started out the door. Just before she was completely out of the room she stuck her head back in. : By the way, you might want to ask Kagome or Starfire to defrost Jaken for you. : Sesshomaru sighed and followed her out, ignoring Jaken's shout for help. The library huh? Well, maybe Kagome was there as well. He headed to the library. Riverswift watched him go, chuckling to herself. She knew for a fact that Kagome was with Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru probably knew it as well. She sent a mental message to Starfire to defrost Jaken...in a few hours...and wandered off to find something to do.
Rin was still absorbed in her book when Sesshomaru found her. She didn't notice that he had come up behind her until she felt his hand on her shoulder. She jumped up in surprise and almost knocked the chair over. When she saw who it was she sat back down and turned to face him.
"Sesshomaru! Don't do that! You know how I get when I read!," she exclaimed. He waited for her to calm down a little. Things could get dangerous if he made her angry. Finally she had calmed down and was willing to talk to him. "So what's up?"
"Rin, do you remember when we discussed you having a mate? I believe it is time to answer your question from then." Rin nodded looking up at him curiously.
"Yes I remember," she replied. "I was wondering when this would be brought up. So what did you mean?" He said nothing, but took her hand and pulled her to her feet.
"Rin, you are long past the age to have found yourself a mate. I think that only a demon could handle you, and I think that demon should be me. Do you accept me as a mate?" Rin stared at him. Mate? Did her mean that...
"Do you love me Sesshomaru?," she asked. "Is that why you are asking me this or is it for some other reason?" Sesshomaru shook his head.
"Rin, there would be no other reason for me to choose you as my mate. If I was looking to gain something, do you think I could get it by choosing a human mate?" Rin smiled up at him.
"Then yes, I accept." Sesshomaru smiled affectionately back. A smile he would only allow her to see. He kissed her to confirm the engagement. She was so young and innocent compared to him, but he would be gentle. After all it was his duty to look after his mate.
Varan: YEAH! ONLY ONE CHAPTER LEFT! I'll post the epilouge tomorrow. It's not very long, just something to wrap up the story. See you all then!
