EVEN IF YOU DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER, PLEASE READ THE LAST A/N BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT!!

I got a couple requests for a lemon. I tried to add humor to this chapter, because I had the urge to make it as hard to go through with this lemon for the characters as possible. I am evil, no? ::evil grin:: This lemon is between................ Rin/Sess! Every one celebrate! Don't, worry, I'll make it work, or at least I'll try. There was a really little hint in the last chapter about Sesshy and what he is planning on asking Rin. If you didn't catch it, don't worry. It wasn't that bigga deal.

Ok, again, this chapter doesn't have to be read for the rest of the story to make since, k? YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS CHAPTER. All you have to know is that everyone went home or to a friend's house and Rin and Sesshy went to Sesshy's house to have a little fun. Just remember that Sesshy is a youkai, so that accounts for some of his behavior in this chapter. Like if he gets impatient, then its because he's a youkai ::lol::. And I will try to make this one better than the other. Trust me. I don't have an annoying brat calling over my shoulder telling me what should be put in this chapter.

Lets just get this down pat, shall we? I don't own ANYTHING. Not a damn thing except this story line. Got it? Good.

"A Hanyou in the Heart" by Inu Faceness

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Plan Revealed

Sango, Rin, Chastity and Kagome stood, wearing their normal clothes, in a circle in the parking lot, each holding a cup of sake, courteous of our houshi in training. Each looked down at their glass like it was a plague on this earth. Miroku walked over and laughed.

"Oh, come on. This is a toast to Kagome's birthday. It ain't gonna kill ya, and if any one sees, I'm here. It religious." He lifted his own glass to his lips and looked at the girls. "Trust me." And with that, he finished his shot-glass sized cup. With an evil grin, Rin looked over at her three companions and each smiled. Together, they all walked to Miroku and poured their sake on top of his head.

"Bye Miroku! Don't get caught smelling like sake, or you'll be deep in trouble!" Kagome called out as she and Sango went to Mrs. Higurashi. "Mom, can I go over to Sango's house? She's gonna get me all gooified for the dance." Kagome made a face.

"It's not 'gooified', its make-up. It'll be fine, don't worry." Mrs. Higurashi laughed as Sango and Kagome bickered. With a nod, she sent the girls off to stop by Kagome's home to get the dress.

---

About the time the two girls left the little circle, Inu Yasha joined with Sesshomaru and Shippo. Rin stood next to Sesshomaru {they were holding hands}, Shippo by Chastity {who put an arm around him} and Inu Yasha crossed his arms next to Miroku.

"Where's your girlfriend, Miroku?" Inu Yasha asked. He knew that, most likely, she and Kagome went off somewhere.

"She ran away," he replied, faking hurt. "She and Kagome went to her house to get ready for the dance." Inu Yasha then turned to Chastity and Rin.

"Why does it take so fucking long for you girls to get ready?" Rin made a face while Chastity went into an explanation mode.

"Well, we've got to look perfect, so we take our time on our make-up and hair and-"

Rin grunted. "Speak for yourself. It takes me about thirty minutes to shower, and ten minutes, if not less, to do my hair and make-up. That's forty minutes. Don't make it sound like I take forever." After a moments consideration, she added, with no hidden meanings, "I could do anything until eight o'clock tonight." she felt the grip on her hand tighten oh so slightly. Rin looked up at Sesshomaru, but his face was blank, just like always when he was in front of people. (A/N: hehe I made Sesshy 'uncomfortable' lol)

The sports watch on Inu Yasha's left hand beeped, signaling the time was three. He grunted and looked towards Miroku. "Your X-Box still hooked up?" Miroku gave a curt nod. Shippo joined in at this.

"Halo?" His eyes were bright with hope. Again, Miroku answered with a nod. "Alright, lets go then!" Shippo kissed Chastity lightly and rushed to Miroku's car. Inu Yasha patiently walked to his car, got in, and rolled down the window.

"Lets go, houshi! Sesshomaru, I'll be back bout seven." Inu Yasha started his car. Miroku said goodbye to his friends and got into the driver's side of his vehicle, Shippo bouncing excitedly in the passenger seat, saying something about 'kicking their Asses' and searching for any candy. With that, the two cars drove away.

"Well, a woman's beauty is nothing to rush so I had better get going." Chastity gave Rin a small hug. She then walked to her red Mini Cooper and left the pair alone. Rin let out a chuckle as she took Sesshomaru's right hand.

"What's so funny?" he asked, looking at her angelic face, dancing with happiness.

"That neko! She's obsessed with her looks; I just wanna see her ONE time without any make-up on. Just once." She held up the index finger on her right hand to emphasize her point. She took Sesshomaru's other hand. "So, what to do now?" Rin didn't care what they did. They could just sit on the curb, right there, and she would be happy out of her mind. The just- graduated-girl only wanted to be with her boyfriend.

"Well, we could finish that little conversation we were having this morning." Sesshomaru watched as Rin's face developed a light pink blush. He set his plan into action. "Or, we don't have to, Miss Rin. It's your choice."

Rin almost choked at his suggestion of what to do. She did want to talk about it. It had been pestering her all through the graduation. When Sesshomaru said they didn't have to, she spoke up. "N-no, we can. Just, not in front of all these strangers, k?" She glanced around them, assenting that there were indeed many people now leaving the grounds. Sesshomaru led her to his car and opened the door for her.

"Where to then?"

She hesitated a moment, not sure of what to say. "Your place? Inu Yasha wont be there to listen in."

She felt so childish. She was in love with Sesshomaru but afraid for anyone to hear it. Rin didn't want to care, but she couldn't help it. For some reason, Sesshomaru just seemed so out of her league that he would be shunned upon for even being with her. He was a youkai and she was nothing more than a human. He wasn't supposed to be with her. No. They were not supposed to be together. No matter how much it hurt her to admit it, it was true.

---

They pulled into the Songiya residence at around three twenty. Getting out of the parking lot proved to be hell with all the cars. Rin just laughed as they inched out of the park. The engine's roar died down as it was shifted into 'park'. They walked together, hand in hand, to the door. Sesshomaru held the door open for Rin as she walked through, heading towards the living room. Rin sat on the couch, her back against the arm of it, fully prepared to tell Sesshomaru everything.

He sat in a similar position across from her. "Sesshomaru," Rin took a deep breath, trying to find the words. She knew little about how Sesshomaru felt for her. From what she had been told from Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru was normally a very solitary person who didn't care or talk to the outside world unless absolutely necessary. From what Rin had observed, she was one of the only one's he would talk to on a daily basis. He seemed to be talking more with Inu Yasha. Did she make that change in him? She felt the molten eyes on her and she blushed. "Sesshomaru, I wanna tell you something."

"And what is that?" His voice was still strong, still deep, but it seemed to have softened as he sat there, talking with her. Her chest rose with another deep breath.

"I think...no. I know that I," her voice softened severely. "I love you." She lifted her eyes to meet his. Nothing showed on his face. Not a single emotion flashed in his eyes.

The second she said the word, Sesshomaru's youkai instinct started kicking in. He sat there, not moving hardly any. It was all he could do to keep from giving into his heart's call. Rin swallowed a large lump in her throat. She had begun talking about something she had felt for a while and she needed to get the rest off her chest.

"I, uh, want to apologize, incase none of this matters to you. I just wanna tell you how deep I feel for you." Rin, having done many speeches before, prepared to talk. Her fingers intertwined in her lap. "I don't know why, but I've felt like I have been attached to you since we met. It was more than a physical attraction. I don't know if you felt it, but to me, it was like our souls were bound to each other." She stopped there, not really wanting to go any further in her confession. She watched Sesshomaru for a reaction.

The more she talked about loving him, the harder it was for Sesshomaru to control himself. In a very un-Sesshomaru-like manner, his left hand started shaking slightly under the confinement. Rin touched the quavering hand. "Sesshomaru?" she questioned. Then, it was like a dam had burst from the pressure of his instincts. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Her eyes were wide with surprise, but she soon was swept away by the magnitude of love that transferred from his lips to hers.

Rin wrapped her arms around his neck and he pushed her down into the couch cushions. They pulled apart, desperate for air. The sound of 'Love Shack' by the B-52s chimed from Rin's jeans pocket. Both pair of eyes looked at the sound. Her hand dug into the pocket and removed the small singing phone. She had hardly caught her breath when she flipped open the phone.

"Mushi Mushi." she said, positioning the phone between her shoulder and her head so that she could rewrap her arms around Sesshomaru's neck. It was her mother. "No mom, I didn't disappear. I'm at Sesshomaru's house to get some grub... Then, I'm gonna go to Sango's and help her with Kagome." She sent a wink to Sesshomaru as her mother said something into the phone. "Yes, mom. I'll see you tonight, if you're still up. I love you too. Bye."

She picked up the phone and clicked the off button, then let it fall to the floor. Sesshomaru smirked at her. "Lying to your mother, Rin. Not good." She shrugged.

"I can eat something here. Then, when Inu Yasha gets back at seven, I can go to Sango's. I didn't lie." She smiled and kissed him. Sesshomaru pulled away and looked at her. His eyes held the look of seriousness. "What?"

"Rin, you said you love me." She nodded. "Do you want to be with me forever?" Rin's eyebrow rose in a silent question. Sesshomaru propped himself on his forearms, one on either side of her small body. He thought out loud to himself. "I guess humans call it marriage. Rin, you know getting married, right?"

"Yeah, all girls do." she chuckled. "Is that what you are asking?"

"Somewhat. Rin, what I am asking is deeper than marriage. Rin Takenaki," Sesshomaru took one of her hands from behind his neck and held it. 'Thank you, father,' he thought mockingly. "Be my mate?" Rin's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered about youkai and their mates. She remembered learning about it in an advanced history. Rin then recalled Sesshomaru's high stature as a youkai.

Tears rimmed her eyes as she put her hand on Sesshomaru's cheek. "Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." She lifted her torso to meet his in a heated embrace, their lips locking like this was their last moment together. Sesshomaru's hands traveled down her sides and she broke into giggles against his warm lips. As his attack on her sides came to a stop, 'Love Shack' was heard once again. Both people on the couch ignored the song for three minutes. Finally after the third call, Sesshomaru stopped kissing Rin and let her get her cell phone, much against the girl's wishes.

In a less than joyous mood, Rin answered the ringing phone. "Mushi Mushi? Hey, Sango." Sesshomaru decided this was not an important phone call. His clawed hand was flat on her stomach and slowly made its way up her soft flesh, sending goose bumps all over her body. Rin bit her lip.

"Yeah, I was just hanging out with Sesshomaru and had my cell phone set on vibrate on the carpet. I didn't even know it was ringing." She let out a chuckle as Sango spoke. "Yeah, gotta keep in my pocket from now on." Rin was hardly able to finish her sentence before gasping. Sesshomaru's hand had found it's way to her right breast. "No, Sango, I'm fine, I just," Rin glared at Sesshomaru and took his hand from beneath her shirt. "I just stubbed my toe," she finished. An evil grin showed on Sesshomaru's face as he began sending butterfly kissed on her neck, collarbone, and her exposed cleavage. When his lips touched the sensitive space where her neck and shoulders met, Rin was thrown into pure ecstasy and almost completely forgot she was on the phone.

"No, Sango, I'm listening. You said Kagome's trying on her dress. Really," Rin tried her hardest to ignore Sesshomaru. "I cant wait to see her if you think she looks good."

Sesshomaru was getting bored with the phone. His patience was wearing thin as Sango kept blabbering on. He looked at the girl beneath him and took the phone from her grasp. "Hey!" she said before Sesshomaru silenced her with a kiss. The light voice on the other end of the phone was calling put for Rin, so the top was flipped shut, cutting off any more communication. Rin put her hands on his toned chest and pushed him off of her. She struggled up and looked at him with a smirk.

"Just for that, I think I'll go home. Good evening, Sesshomaru." And with that, Rin headed towards the doorway. In a flash, Sesshomaru had her pinned against the oak door. She looked up at his eyes and smiled. Rin knew all about this; she had told him she would be his, and he was going to have her, no matter what. His reaction was all she was looking for. Sesshomaru looked down into her chocolate eyes. He saw a glint of humor in them. "Impatient, are we?" She chuckled as she heard a low growl erupt in his throat.

"Not for long," he answered before bending down and claiming her mouth once more. She moaned into the kiss as he explored her mouth with his long tongue. Just this one activity was driving her insane with a growing heat in-between her legs. Breathing deep, she tightened the grip she had on his neck, lifting herself to her tiptoes in an attempted to make the kiss deeper. Her body pressed into his, seeming to mold his body perfectly. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her small waist, adding his own pressure into her. Rin's feet were no longer touching the floor as Sesshomaru kept her elevated with one arm as the other stroked her leg. Inevitably, Rin broke for breath. She put her forehead against his as she panted heavily, her breath landing on his lips enticingly.

Using the door as a prop, Sesshomaru used both hands to guide her legs around his waist. When her ankles locked behind his back, he pulled away from the door and headed up the stairs. Rin's arousal was enticed as she gently moved up and down with each step he took. She could tell this was having the same effect on him because she felt his own arousal pressing into her. Finally, he swung open the door to his room, heading straight for his master bed. The old grandfather clock in the hall just outside Sesshomaru's room chimed four times as Rin and Sesshomaru flopped onto the bed, completely wrapped up in each other.

He grabbed the bottom of her blue t-shirt and slid it off her body. Her own hands were in the process of unbuttoning the white dress shirt he wore for the day. Sesshomaru's long fingers began fiddling with the latches keeping her pants on, and Rin's soon joined them. Their lips forever locked in a never-ending kiss; she shimmied out of the jeans she wore so that she was in nothing but her panties and bra. Pushing his left shoulder with her right hand, Rin changed to a position where she was straddling his hips. She broke the kiss long enough to undo his black slacks.

Sesshomaru ran his clawed hand over her flat stomach as she sat on his lap. He leaned up and put his mouth to her ear, whispering the words she longed to hear. "I love you," his lips traced her neckline as he went to the junction of her neck and shoulder. His light breath danced on her flesh just before he bit down, breaking the skin. Tears rimmed her eyes from the pain as he licked the blood from the wound, watching as it healed over. Pulling her onto the soft bed sheets, Sesshomaru removed what cover they had on their bodies.

Rin ran her hands down his tight back as Sesshomaru entered her. Out of both pain and pleasure, her nails dug into his back, drawing eight thin lines of blood. Sesshomaru growled loudly as he attacked her lips. Her hands fell to the cotton sheets and gripped them tightly as Sesshomaru went into her, again and again.

She bit her lip and moaned loudly when she wrapped her legs around him. Sesshomaru moved above her, couscous not to hurt her too badly. His hands grabbed hers as she yelled out in ecstasy for the first time in her life. He kissed her once before joining her in her orgasm. Both of them were panting, their breaths coming short and strained.

Rin put her hands on either side of his face, kissing him gently, before crawling out from under him, allowing Sesshomaru to collapse. He lay on his stomach, his face turned to hers, as she lay on her side beside him. His right arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her in close to his body. She watched as the marks she left on his back healed over. Rin kissed his shoulder and laid her sweat-covered head on the bed and listened as their heart rates both slowed. Her eyes closed and a smile graced her lips. Sesshomaru propped himself up on his other arm; his long silver hair falling over his left shoulder and his eyes locked on her peaceful face.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked, a smirk forming. Rin opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Taking a nap," she replied, relaxing into the bed. Sesshomaru sat up, pulling her into his lap.

"Think again." His hands went to support her back as he began relishing in her sweet taste.

---

It was past six thirty when Rin began to redress. She stood next to her mate, who was lying on the floor, and slipped into her underwear. Her arms stretched above her head as she looked around the once tidy room. Papers, that had been stacked neatly on Sesshomaru's desk, were now strewn in random places around the room. Pillows were here and there, a sheet lay underneath the inu youkai on the ground, and their clothes were long forgotten on the ground beside Sesshomaru's bed. Rin walked to them and picked up Sesshomaru's white dress shirt.

Sesshomaru stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist as his shirt hung open on her body. He pulled her hair behind her ear and began to whisper.

"I didn't know you were that limber."

"I was in gymnastics for a few years," she replied, a deep blush creeping onto her already flushed cheeks. Rin heard his deep chuckle as it sent vibrations threw her body.

"I want you to soak in warm water when you get home, mate." His tone was serious with concern. His right-clawed hand lightly rubbed her inner thigh. "It will help with any soreness."

Rin smiled and turned her head, meeting him in a short, but loving kiss. She stepped away from him, buttoning the shirt. "Thank you, love. I'll do that." She bent down and picked up Sesshomaru's boxers and slacks. Rin tossed them to him, winking. "Don't wanna be caught naked when Inu Yasha comes home, do you?" a light laugh escaped her lips as she watched her lover slip into his pants. "Come on, I'm hungry," she added, winking as she left the room.
