Atsume: Hey guys, I'm sooooooooooo sorry that I haven't updated in a while (ok, a VERY long time!)

Faith: We're sorry for spoiling this story, someone just got a little IMPATIENT! (Everyone glares at Sesshomaru)

Sesshomaru: Why are you fools looking at me? Atsume and Faith are the one's who let me do this! (Glare's back at everyone with promise of death in his eyes)

Atsume: Gulp! Well, I should explain for why none of my stories have been updated in forever…

Faith: We're making everything up as we go along!

Atsume: Sadly, Faith is right… I do not exactly have a plan for this story, thus there will be time in between these chapters, so if you want to hate me and abandon me I will understand.

Faith: Well, on with the story! We'll try to make this a long chapter, but there will be no promises, oh and we will probably be so kind as to give ya'll a cliffy!!!

Sesshomaru: That's MY kind of woman!

Atsume and audience roll their eyes while Faith blushes

Disclaimer: Why does everyone have one of me? Oh well, Atsume does not own anyone but Faith, no not even Sesshomaru…

A Story of Faith

Chapter 5

Last time: He took her in his arms again and made his cloud thingy, and they were off. "Where are we going?" she asked. "To my palace to meet Rin." He told her with a slight hug. "Who's Rin?" she asked curiously

Now:

"Who's Rin, Sesshomaru?" Faith asked curiously. 'Oh no, He already has a wife, I'm just a mistress!' Sensing her distress, Sesshomaru answered her. "She is my ward, not my "wife" as you, humans call it?" He was not sure what to call Faith, since she had just somehow transformed into a demon. 'Actually, she does not really smell like a demon anymore, she smells like… I'm not sure what she smells like anymore', he thought, now extremely confused. 'It's like she changes with each of her moods!' Sesshomaru's eyes widened with realization at this thought. 'Could she possibly be a……' He decided that he would look through his library after introducing Rin to her new mother.

"So, Fluffy, where exactly are we going?" Faith asked, trying to hold in a snicker; she decided that she would test her new mate's limits to see how much the demon lord could handle. Sesshomaru's brain started to turn when he heard her call him by that insulting name. 'Two, can play at this 'game', let's see who shall win this battle' he thought mischievously, thinking of what he could call her. 'Bitch? No, that'd insult ANY female; I need to get to know her better so I can find her weakness… Hmm, her hair color is yellow, I've never seen hair like this, and it's quite beautiful actually.' Sesshomaru was getting a little distracted, so he just decided to ask her about it.

"Faith, your hair color is yellow, even when you were human, explain this. I have never seen a Japanese woman with yellow hair before, you ARE Kagome's sister, are you not?" he asked, wondering if she could be from a different area, 'But, her hair should be… Blackish', "I'm not really Kagome's sister. I was adopted at birth because my mother was ashamed to be pregnant at the age of 13. I am originally from the United States of America. It's another country across the seas, although I've never actually SEEN the country, I'm learning English, so I can go there… for college, of course." Faith replied, hoping that she didn't hurt Sesshomaru with the last bit of her speech. But before he could verbalize his thoughts to her, they had reached a large castle.

"We are here" Sesshomaru replied stoically, not showing any emotion, but his eyes watered slightly with unshed tears. 'He's about to cry, I didn't upset him did I?' Faith thought, not letting her emotions show, much like Sesshomaru was now, but she put on HER mask of specialty, crazy happy. "It's beautiful!" she exclaimed, not really in the mood to be happy; she felt Sesshomaru's sadness coming off in waves, pouring into her very soul. 'It's like we share our emotions through mating. WAIT! I've read all this in a book about youkai before, I'll have to go home and study it before I see Sesshomaru again, well, after this, of course.'

When They Got There

"Sesshomaru-sama! Your back!" A little girl exclaimed, running at full speed, towards the stoic taiyoukai, with her arms open wide for a hug. Sadly for the girl, she only got his legs and an affectionate ruffle of the hair.

"Rin, this is Faith, your new mother. Faith, I suppose you can introduce yourself, and entertain Rin" he said, with a bored tone to his voice, but his eyes betrayed his feelings of fondness and love for the young ward of his. "Where are you going?" Faith said, wondering that if since he'd had his way with her, he'd turn her into a simple nanny. She felt used suddenly, "I will be in the study… Rin." "Yes, milord?" Rin asked with a little hesitation. "Give Lady Faith a tour of the area, then introduce her to………it" he commanded, not wanting to summon Jaken, if necessary. "Yes, milord… Come on okaa-san!" Rin ushered Faith hurriedly.

"Okay, sure Rin-chan" she said with a little hesitation. They turned around and started heading towards the most beautiful garden Faith would surely see in her life-time.

When Faith and Rin are in the Garden

"Woowwwwwwwwwwwwwww…………." Faith was so preoccupied with drooling over the arranged flowers, shrubs, trees, and assorted fruit plants that she did not notice a little voice next to her, asking if she was alright.

She was pulled out her stupor by a little giggle beside her. Faith looked down to see Rin falling to the floor laughing harder with each haggard breath she took. She frowned, wondering what was so funny, when she felt something in between her legs, that was fuzzy, begin to move and twitch playfully with the laughing child. It was her tail, it was back again, and she immediately stopped her torture when she realized that the girl was almost out of breath. Rin, after awhile, caught her breath and sighed while leaning her head into Faith's lap.

Rin shivered, the winter wind starting to get to her, so Faith wrapped her tail around the sweet girl. She would have to tell Rin Sesshomaru about Christmas. She began to quietly sing a tune. And soon, Rin was asleep.

O yeah

Last night I took a walk in the snow

Couples holding hands places to go

Seems like everyone but me is in love

Santa can you hear me?

I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss

I sent it off and just said this

I know exactly what I want this year

Santa can you hear me?

I want my baby, baby

I want someone to love me

And someone to hold

Maybe, maybe

He'll be all my own in a big red bow

'That would be the best gift I could ever get, I wonder if maybe I could drop a few hints around Sesshomaru, he would look cute in a big red bow. Ha-ha, maybe he could fit himself into a stocking! He's the best thing I've ever gotten that my step-sister doesn't have, I love him so much, and in such a short period of time, who would've thought! Me and Sesshomaru! Or maybe he could propose to me!' Faith developed a faraway dreamy look on her features. She did not notice said demon lord was walking up to her, enjoying her beautiful melody, sitting next to her so as not to discontinue her lovely song.

Santa can you hear me?

I have been so good this year

And all I want is one thing

Tell me my true love is here

He's all I want just for me

Underneath my Christmas tree

I'll be waiting here

Santa that's my only wish this year

'This song is perfect for me! All I want is Sesshomaru for Christmas, I wonder if he would actually do a human wedding for me though. He'd better, or else Gramps is not going to be happy, he's already not gonna like the fact that I'm in love with a demon lord, not to mention, I'm mated to him, and in three days no less!' she continued on with her song, unaware of her lover beside her, looking at her with awe and pride. 'She makes an excellent mother, hmm, now that I have an idea of what she is, we can have pups of our own now.' He thought with a slight smirk and a gleam in his eye.

O yeah

Yeah

Christmas eve I just can't sleep

Would I be wrong for taking a peek?

'Cause I heard that you're coming to town

Santa can you hear me?

I really hope that you're on your way

With something special

For me in your sleigh

Oh please make my wish come true

Santa can you hear me?

I want my baby, baby

I want someone to love me

And someone to hold

Maybe, maybe

We'll be all alone under the mistle toe

Santa can you hear me?

I have been so good this year

And all I want is one thing

Tell me my true love is here

He's all I want just for me

Underneath my Christmas tree

I'll be waiting here

Santa that's my only wish this year

Faith felt Sesshomaru's arms encircle her when she shivered. She continued to sing when he gave a slight nudge to her neck.

I hope my letter reaches you in time

Oh yea

Bring me a love I can call all mine

Oh yea

Cause I have been so good so good this year, yeah

Oo

Can't be alone under the mistle toe

He's all I want in a big red bow

Santa can you hear me

I have been so good this year

And all I want is one thing

Tell me my true love is here

He's all I want just for me

Underneath my Christmas tree

Ill be waiting here

Santa that's my only wish this year

Oh Santa

Can you hear me?

Ohhh

Oh Santa

Well he's all I want just for me

Underneath my Christmas tree

Ill be waiting here

Santa that's my only wish this year

Santa that's my only wish this year

Sesshomaru looked at Faith with pride, love, hope, awe… and something else she recognized as lust, but she was pretty tired from their journey. She wasn't really in the moo- 'Well, there went that theory!' she thought as he kissed her silently with so much passion, she would have fallen had she not been sitting down. "Let's get Rin to bed, koi" he told her huskily. She knew what he had in mind, she hadn't heard him say 'Let's go to bed', nope, he was ready for something completely different from sleeping in bed… 'I'm not going to get any sleep tonight' she thought, slightly annoyed, but then a sudden thought slipped her mind. "Hey, Sesshomaru, what about Kagome and the others? Won't they be worried?" she asked curiously.

"We are not staying here, we are only checking in, and taking Rin off of Jaken's hands." He told her with slight arousal in his voice. "Who's Jaken?" Faith asked, knowing she was pushing Sesshomaru's limits, but not caring, she was curious. "He is one of my servants, now let's go" he swept both her and Rin off of the ground and sped off to lay Rin down to sleep. "Where are we going Fluffy?" Faith asked, trying to sound naïve, wanting him to suffer a little before she gave into their desire. "We are going to talk, where no one else can find us… I have information to give to you… about what you are" he told her stoically.

He wanted her to know that she was a very rare creature, thought to be extinct even in the feudal era. 'Then there ARE demons in Faith's era, I'm glad, this means I have a chance to survive into those years' he thought, growing confused. 'Hmm, she does not know what she is. This should be entertaining.' Sesshomaru smirked arrogantly, reminding Faith of a certain half-demon. They reached a secluded cave, much warmer than the winter chill. He sat down, bringing her with him into his lap. 'No way does this guy need Viagra! He's a frigin' branch!' she thought, slightly disgusted and annoyed with him for this slow torture.

"Faith, I have found out what you are….." He told her gently, with a tint of arousal in his voice, slowly killing Faith inside. She turned full demon before questioning him. "What do you mean, you know what I am?" she asked huskily, sliding her claws seductively up and down his chest. This was starting to get to him, she could tell from the lump she was sitting on. "Enough. I need to get this out correctly, not in moans." He told her with a gleam in his eyes, he knew he had just won when she turned into an immortal with a tail, instead of a demon. "Okay, in all seriousness. What is it that you wish to tell me?" she grunted, while shifting from his lap to the ground; he knew why and shifted to where you couldn't see his erection.

"I went to the library today, and I did some reading, I now know why you change according to your moods; I also know why our emotions are connected, it all has to do with what you are. I had had a sneaking suspicion about this when I instantly fell in love with you and became soft. (All throughout his speech, Faith was growing redder and redder in the face) Faith, you are a 'Child of Love'. You are a cross between a 'Child of Heart', or a god, and a mortal, giving you the life-span of the one you choose to mate with. Now when you first see the one you are destined to love, you will fall in love with them, and they you, in only a day, just upon sight. Upon mating, you will receive the ability to share your emotions." While Sesshomaru was explaining this to her, she gaped, wondering if her mother was really ashamed of her, and also if she was truly 13 when giving birth to her.

She grew angrier with each passing thought. She was suddenly filled enlightenment as Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her frame, kissing her temple gently. "I know you were angry with your mother, but she had probably fore-seen your future. She wanted you to be happy… to find love and family." Once he was done saying this, he pulled away from her and looked into her eyes, for he could not sense what she was thinking. He believed her to be thinking but he could not tell, her eyes were shut. When she opened her eyes, he wasn't expecting her to be overjoyed about what he had just explained.

"Sesshomaru, if this is true, that means I can truly visit my mother! I've had her home address for about a month now, I was planning on kind of stalking her anyways, now that I know that there's a chance that she might want to meet me, I can see my mother! Oh, thank you, Sesshomaru!" Faith exclaimed excitedly, hugging said demon lord tightly to her, that the both of them fell to the ground beneath them. Faith looked down at him with complete love, 'He's so beautiful! He's unreal!' Faith thought as she slowly leaned down and kissed her mate gently on the lips. Sesshomaru closed his eyes tightly, trying to hold his emotions in check, along with the tears starting to form in his eyes. Faith pulled back from their kiss, and licked his tears away gently. "Sesshomaru, why are you so sad my love?" Faith asked curiously. "Will you truly go after your mother, into your own era?" he asked her cautiously.

Now Faith got what was up, Sesshomaru thought that she would leave him to search for her mother. "Sesshomaru" she whispered just loud enough to where he could barely hear her. He looked at her, scared of what she was about say to him. 'I know what she's going to say, she's chosen family over me. I guess I can't blame her, I pretty much forced her into this, she deserves better.' He thought, downcast. "Sesshomaru, I'm not going to leave you, why would you even think such a stupid thing? I could barely keep away from you when it was just Rin and I. What could possibly make you think for a second that I could live without you for a year?!? No way could I do that! I love you too much." Faith replied, quickly sealing her confession with a heart felt kiss, not meant with lust, but true love and compassion.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened, and then slowly closed while he took her into his arms. (Yes, Sessho is still lying down) He pushed her up off of him a little bit, and looked at her with slight confusion in his eyes. "Faith, how will you see your mother, or your other family?" he asked, obviously not comprehending what she was trying to tell him. "Sesshomaru, now that we're mated you can go where ever I go. I'm taking you with me, silly" she said with mirth in her eyes.

He looked at her with surprise, and then asked her cautiously, "I will not fit in. Faith, I am not from your time, people have evolved since my time. They have probably even found a way to go to the moon, or something of the sort. Do you understand? As much as I hate to admit it, I would seem mentally challenged while communicating with… the mortals." he said, not liking the fact that mortals would be smarter than he. "Sesshomaru, you'll be fine! I promise, the girls won't care what you say! They'll be too busy droolingover you to notice you don't know anything about rocket science. They probably actually know less than you. Besides, I can teach you most of it, and then I can enroll you in a class. Let's see, how old are you?" she asked.

Sesshomaru thought about her proposition, 'It would be nice to know everything that my mate knows, so I do not feel dumb when she tries to talk politics or makes a joke.' He decided to answer her and take her offer up. "I am 267 years old, but I do not see how this will make me smarter, I'm not sure what you—Faith?" Faith had fallen over; she didn't know he was that old! 'Gees, I thought that he was 20 or something! He could be my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandpa!' she thought.

"Wow, I didn't know that youkai could live that long and still look so young!" Faith exclaimed with awe. He just looked at her with humor in his eyes. "Hmm, I suppose you are surprised by my age? I will live much longer than that; a true youkai can live up to thousands of years. If I am not slain, which is highly unlikely, I could live to the end of the earth. I will not age a single day." He stated before adding, "You will live as long as I do, as long as you're mated to me, (he now stated this with a little growl to his voice) which shall be until we die." He stated pulling her possessively to him to give her a heated kiss. She responded almost immediately, giving in to her temptation.

WARNING: THERE IS A LEMON SCENE PAST THESE WORDS: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Sesshomaru sat up, dipping Faith's head backward to gain more access, moaning slightly in her mouth. He couldn't help himself, she tasted so good!

'Like vanilla and cinnamon combined' he thought, his desire for her growing more with each passing moment. The vixen in which he held transformed into a fiery demoness as she became aroused from the smell and taste of him. He laid her down gently on the soft floor of the cave. She moaned softly when she felt the ground beneath her. His fangs glided down elegantly toward her neck, seeking his mating mark.

When he found the desired area, he bit into the mark, emitting a loud moan from his lover. He felt himself getting lost in the sound of her moans and haggard breaths and he tore off her shirt, exposing her chest to him. He sat up a little, looking down at her with red tinted eyes that had specks of beautiful gold in them. He smiled sinisterly, knowing of the torture he'd put her through before letting her reach true pleasure.

She looked at him, noting the evil smile on his face that looked like he meant trouble. She performed her sexiest smirk, she had something else in mind, this was going to be one hell of a night. She sat up enough to be eye to eye with Sesshomaru with an evil gleam in her eyes that could scare even Naraku, and then proceeded to plot.

She leaned into the crook of his neck, licking the place where she would bite him, and then blowing gently on it. This earned her a growl-moan combo, which made her smile. She decided to end this torture before he took over, and bit into the tender flesh, and licked away the blood hungrily when he roared and grabbed her arms forcefully. He lifted her into the air to where she could straddle him and kissed her passionately, growling ferociously against her mouth in pleasure. "Faith, you'd better be ready" he growled at her.

She knew what he meant; she noticed that she was at her peak of fertility, as was he. If they took each other tonight, they would surely conceive a child. He was asking her if she wanted a child, also if she would allow him to impregnate her now. "Yes, I've never been surer in my life. Promise me one thing though….." she conditioned him. "Anything" he said lovingly.

She transformed back into a plain immortal, looking as she had when they first met…… This was the form she was in when she felt love, and only love. She stood upright and looked into his eyes akin to fire, but the flames were turning gold, the color of Faith's hair. "Promise to take me as I am" she pleaded with him, hoping he would not reject her. He stood there, entranced in her now dark gold orbs.

He couldn't take his eyes away from them, they were absolutely beautiful! 'Is this what true love feels like?' he asked himself in his thoughts. "I would not have you any other way than the real you. Faith, I love you. I want you and only you….. (He laughed) You and all of your crazy emotions!" he replied.

Faith's eyes watered and tears rolled out of her gold-green irises as she rushed to his lips, never in her life had she needed anything as much as she needed him at this very moment. He responded to her kiss at once.

You set my soul at ease

Chased darkness out of view

Left your desperate spell on me

Say you feel it too

I know you do

I've got so much more to give

This can't die, I yearn to live

Pour yourself all over me

And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees

Faith slowly removed Sesshomaru's shirt as her hands slid from his shoulders to his wrists, completely removing his shirt from his chest. What had once been animosity became love and compassion as the two lovers found the meaning of making love. Sesshomaru kissed a trail down to her neck and gently licked his mating mark, remembering that Faith had actually claimed him. He smiled gently, thinking of what a beautiful mother she would make. He wrapped his arms around her frame and hugged her tightly to him. Faith blushed lightly and kissed him, searing the memory of her lips forever in his mind. For once in an intimate moment, the both of them were not aroused by the other, but instead knew that they would never leave each other; they would never become tired of the other.

My mind fails to understand

What my heart tells me to do

And I'd give up all I have just to be with you

And now I do

I've always been taught to win

And I never thought I'd fall

Be at the mercy of a man

I've never been

Now I only want to be right where you are.

Faith knew that she had loved Sesshomaru, but not to the point of not transforming when in such an intimate moment. While making love, 'but I guess that's why they call it making love, I truly and deeply love him… so much!' Faith thought with a deep passion consuming her from inside as he lowered her to the ground, kissing her deeply. He gently and torturously slid her garments from her lower half, now able to see her full beauty. He stared daringly at her in wonderment, 'How can anything be so beautiful and pure?' Faith blushed a deep red, which made her all the more appealing to him. She slid her hands up his chest, memorizing every curve, muscle, and tone of him. She then pulled at his pants, taking in his glory. He kissed her deeply whispering sweet nothings in her sensitive ear.

In my life I learned that heaven never waits, no

Let's take this now before it's gone like yesterday

'Cause when I'm with you

There's no where else that I would ever wanna be, no

I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you lovin me

They looked deeply into each other's eyes, and with one last passionate kiss, Sesshomaru pushed into Faith. The rest of their night was pure bliss as the two made love in the cave, under the stars.

I wanna love you forever

And this is all I'm asking of you

Ten thousand lifetimes together

Is that so much for you to do?

'Cause from the moment that I saw your face

And felt the fire in your sweet embrace

I swear I knew.

I'm gonna love you forever.

IT'S OKAY TO COME OUT NOW….. LEMON IS OVER NOW

"Lady Faith, wake up miss" a feminine voice spoke up to her in her blissful sleep. A grunt came from the sleeping beauty, signifying she was waking. Faith opened her drowsy eyes to see a room more beautiful than anything she'd ever seen in the modern world. 'How'd I get here? I was in a cave with Sesshomaru!' she thought, blushing slightly. "My lady, I'm sorry to interrupt your train of thought, but it's time that you take a bath in order for you to back to your friends with my lord." The maid told her, trying to hide her face for some reason. "Why are you hiding from me?" Faith asked curiously, wondering what was wrong.

"My lady, you're not yet dressed." Said the blushing maid to her. Faith looked down to confirm, she was still naked! Sesshomaru didn't carry her through this big castle while both of them were still naked did he?!? Faith quickly grasped the sheets to her, blushing deeply. "I- I'm sorry about that! Didn't want you to be scarred for life. I'm so sorry!" Faith exclaimed, hoping she didn't leave the maid traumatized. "No, no, it's quite alright! We all have that, no need to worry!" the maid stuttered, not quite believing how nice the Lady of the Western Lands really was. 'She's nothing like I expected! I thought she'd be a spoiled bitch, but she's actually really modest! Not to mention, totally gorgeous!' the maid thought.

"Okay then, so where's the hot springs?" Faith asked wonderingly.

Later on that day: With Inuyasha and the gang

"Where the hell are they!?!"……. Guess who said that? Yup, Inuyasha was just being himself again… duh. "Inuyasha, do you think that maybe they… they-""No way! My brother wouldn't mate with a human!" Inuyasha screamed out, hoping that Faith would be alright. If she died, Kagome would cry, and he hated it when she cried. "I swear, if Sesshomaru hurts any one of my friends, I'll kill him myself!" Inuyasha yelled out, secretly challenging him, wherever he was. "Do not yell half-breed, I'm over here" came a stoic, deep voice from behind him.

Inuyasha turned around, expecting Sesshomaru to be holding the mangled body of Faith… Saying he was caught off guard would be an understatement. "What the hell? Faith, you're not dead and mangled. And Sesshomaru has a smile on his face? What the hell is going on here?" Inuyasha asked confusedly. "Well, dear brother, you are indeed dumber than I can recall, have you not caught wind of our mating?" Sesshomaru said, very much enjoying his brother's face darken with realization. "Oh my god! Faith is this true?" Kagome and Sango asked at almost the same time. "Uhh, umm…. Yes?" Faith said, trying to hide a blush. Everybody rushed Faith away from Sesshomaru and into the woods, while said Demon lord growled threateningly at them. "Lord Sesshomaru, who are those people? What are they gonna do to with okaa-san? A little girl asked worriedly, running up from behind him. "They are her friends, go and play with them while I talk to Inuyasha." Sesshomaru commanded Rin. "Yes, my lord" the girl complied.

"So, Inuyasha, I need to apologize to you." Sesshomaru said, coming up to Inuyasha with a down set face.

Atsume: Well, what'd you guys think? Sorry it took sooooo long to update, oh well, yall forgive me?

Faith: We're finished…. Yay! But, not for good. We're gonna get started on the next chapter tomorrow, so don't worry, we should have the next chapter ready by next month.

Sesshomaru: If they start it, that is…

Atsume: (Sigh) Must I go get the butcher knife again?

Sesshomaru: Gulp Not necessary… (Runs away, but runs into a force field… Is now on the floor with swirly eyes)

Atsume: Well, until next time, see you guys!

Everybody: Bye Bye

The End (For now)
