A/N: I'm really sorry about the lack of update but I have good news! I have thought of a plot for this story! Feel proud of me! I thought of it a while ago but I've had to think about how I wanted it to work out so that's why it's been so long. Pweeze forgive me. Then again you have no choice if you want me to continue my story -grins evilly-

btw this is gunna pick up right where it left off in the last chapter. Oh and I know that Jaken kinda went poof in my last chapter. I wasnt gunna bring him back in but I realized that I need him. I probably wont have him in that much .

Disclaimer: This all belongs to Rumiko. Gotta love her work. I'm just using her characters for a little bit and bending them to my will D. -cough-

You Have My Heart

Chapter 5: Revelations

Rin quickly dressed and walked back to camp, butterflies in her stomach. What do I say to him? Do I act like nothing happened? She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

She rounded the bend and looked across at their camp site, searching for her lord. She spotted him leaning against a tree with his eyes closed. He looked to be meditating. Rin slowly walked into their camp. She set about gathering wood for their fire.

As she was bending over to grab one particular piece, a couple pieces that she already had in her arms fell, startling Jaken awake. "Stop making so much racket, Rin!" he screeched. "Stupid girl," he mumbled to himself.

"Sorry, Jaken," she said quietly, trying not to disturb Sesshomaru. She bent down next the whole she had started to dig for their fire earlier. She set the wood inside the whole and pulled out two pieces of flint from her small bag that she brought with them to patrol the borders.

Striking the two pieces of flint together, she began to think. I can't believe he kissed me... TWICE! I wish he would acknowledge me afterwards... She frowned at the pieces of flint in her hands. They just wouldn't light. She struck them together, harder. What gives him the right to trifle with me and then ignore me? It's not fair! She glared and struck the pieces together one last time. The tender caught and started to smoke. She leaned down to blow on it. Why does he have to be so... so arogant!

She glanced up at him in time to see him smirk at her. That's it! She jumped up and stalked towards him. When she reached him, she glared down at him. "Please come with me, Lord Sesshomaru."

She turned and started walking into the woods, trusting that he would follow her.

When her back was turned, Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow. (AN: I wish I could do that ;.;) He slowly stood up and began to follow her, ignoring Jaken's look of disbelief that his lord would follow the order of a human.

He found Rin standing with her arms crossed and her back to him. Sesshomaru continued to stand there, waiting for her to speak first. It was, after all, she who wished for him to follow her.

Rin bit her lip. Now that he was here, she didn't know what to say. She turned around to find that he had silently come to stand behind her. A mere foot seperated them. She gulped.

Sesshomaru looked down at her, waiting for her to speak. When she didn't, he raised an eyebrow. He heard her sigh softly.

She decided to come right out and say it. "What is going on with us?" He simply stared at her. Sighing, she realized that she would have to spell it out for him. I know he's not that dumb... "You've kissed me twice. Why?"

She hoped and prayed that he wouldn't tell her that he was merely using him to please his demonic urges. She didn't think her heart could take it.

About to deny any feelings for her, he looked into her eyes. They were pleading with him. For this human girl, he would speak from his heart. (AN: I could so end it right here but I'd get beaten to death xD) "Rin, I will say this once. This Sesshomaru does not like to repeat himself." At her nod, he continued. "Rin, I would do anything for you and I do not know why. You stir something inside of me. When I am near you, I want to take you, to claim you as mine." (AN: This is rated PG-13 for a reason)

She gulped. Did he just say what I think he said? Does he love me too? The butterflies in her stomach started to flutter again as he stepped closer to her.

He gently cupped her cheek with one hand. "This Sesshomaru loves you," he stated, his head slowly moving closer to hers.

Rin gently placed her hand on his shoulder. She smiled sweetly up at him, trying to memorize his beautiful face.

Sesshomaru gently pressed his lips briefly against hers and pulled away. "Lord Sesshomaru..." she started but his finger on her lips silenced her.

"You will call me Sesshomaru. Just Sesshomaru. The Lady of the Western lands will not address her mate so formally."

Rin grabbed his hand and gently moved it away from her lips so she could speak. "My mate?" she asked hopefully.

"Your mate," he said. He once again pressed his lips against Rins. This time, however, his tongue shot out to trace her bottom lip, trying to coax her to open her mouth. She happily responded, opening her mouth for him to explore. After a few moments of his tongue tasting her, she tentively moved her tongue to meet his. Sesshomaru pulled away when he began to feel his demon side call for him to take her.

He smiled at her before taking her hand in his and leading her back out into their camp.

Jaken jumped at the site of them, his eyes firmly locked at their joined hands. "My lord?" he questioned. He was saved from a beating at the arrival of someone else.

"Sesshomaru," their guest said, stepping out from behind the tree. "I wish to join you at your castle. I will be your humble servant." She bowed.

"Kagura," he said quietly, looking at her kneeling figure. He raises an eyebrow, his grip on Rin's hand tightening. "Why should I allow you into my castle?"

"Naraku is dead. I have been wondering the land. I will serve you," she replied, her eyes on the ground at Sesshomaru's feet.

She raises her face to look into his eyes. "Allow me to be your servant."

Sesshomaru looked down at Rin. "What is your opinion?"

"Me!" she squeaked.

He raised an eyebrow. "The future Lady of the Western Lands should judge who is worthy of entering our lands and serving our needs. What is your opinion?" Jaken fell over when Sesshomaru said that Rin would be the Lady of the Western Lands.

Rin looked down at Kagura, studying her quietly. After a few moments of contemplation, she looked up at her Lord. "Let her stay."
