Sesshomaru walked the empty corridors as he looked from room to room; Rin had told him that every maid had painted a room of their very own taste. Looking at all the different designs he did notice all the tastes he, some rooms simply blew him away with the talent.

He made no comment as he walked his eyes cold and calculating, Rin had taken off somewhere, stating she needed to see her horses and home to make sure they were all right. The mansion was dead quiet; the only sound that was heard was the soft pitter patter of his shoes hitting the rugged floor. His parents were out in the gardens with the servants helping gardening. He never knew why they were so nice to their servants; he paid them no mind unless one spoke up to him.

But most kept to themselves even if they had something to say, suddenly he was thrown out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of another's footsteps. The footsteps were too strong to be his stepmother's but not strong enough to be his father's. He stopped and stood his ground as the footsteps came closer, when they where only a few feet away he recognized them instantly and his body froze.

He couldn't believe that he would show himself in his presence.

Rin grabbed hold of Mika's reigns as the horse bucked and shook her head mightily, Sesshomaru's horse only watched not moving. It just ate the hey in the wooden box attached to the wooden fence on the opposite side of the arena.

Mika seemed annoyed by this because she changed her direction of bucking from the air to galloping towards the Arabian horse; Rin held the reigns tight as Mika neighed angrily her hoofs gathered speed ignoring Rin's request to stop.

The hey the Arabian had in its mouth then fell out as he realized he was the horse's target, then he moved quickly out of the way as Mika followed. Rin kept pulling and tugging but Mika never stopped her rampage as the Arabian kept running. Then the sound of wind caught everyone's attention, Mika stopped in her tracks as her ears moved from right to left rapidly.

Rin petted her mane slightly as a droplet of rain hit her nose, looking up she saw gigantic storm clouds form overhead. By the look of how dark they were she jumped off Mika's back and grabbed her reigns firmly and pulled. Mika relaxed but still spit by the Arabian as it followed, Rin shook her head slightly at her horse's immaturity.

Leading the horse's to their stalls she made sure they were as far away as possible as Mika snorted happily rubbing her head lovingly on Rin's arm. Messing up her mane Rin giggled as she took off her reigns and saddle. Then she took out some steel planks that were stored in the barn's closet and some nails with a hammer. Going outside she then plastered the boards on the barn's sides and nailed them down, she had been threw tornadoes before, she knew how destructive they were.

Once the last plank was done Rin felt a large gust of wind hit her hair as it flipped up with the wind, wiping the sweat off her forehead she made her way to her house to try and protect her house as well. Looking to the west she saw the storm clouds forming into a vortex that were getting dangerously close to the ground.

Getting back to her work she nailed her house down until she was halfway when she heard the howling wind, looking back she saw the tornado had formed. Then she saw a figure, or were her eyes playing tricks on her? She was sure she saw a figure flying in from of the vortex, forgetting about it she set back to work. Once the howling was so loud she couldn't even hear herself think she turned around slowly and saw the tornado only a few miles away as her eyes widened.

Was she going to die? Her house wasn't done with the steel, and the barn was completely sealed up so she couldn't go in there. Looking around franticly she nearly cried when she found no place to hide. Closing her eyes she jumped from the ladder and lay on the ground trying to hide from the massive storm. When the howling sounded right above her she opened her eyes and saw a large white form coming closer to her, that wasn't the tornado howling, that was Sesshomaru...

(A/N: Whatever is in these dividers after this note is before the tornado, when I say that it is the present then it will get back to that)

Sesshomaru felt his eyes narrow as he saw the broad shoulders of Naraku as the menace stood smirking in front of him. "So Sesshomaru, it has been a very long time," he stated his voice deep and obvious to his amusement.

"What is so amusing?" Sesshomaru asked as Naraku closed his eyes as he began to laugh, then chuckle "Oh, it is nothing really Sesshomaru, it is just the way I see how your aura has weakened lately," he responded as Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly but not enough for Naraku to notice, unless he was looking for it. How had he known? "It was easy to tell, after you brought that girl with you, I've seen you let your guard down. You hold this girl dear yes?" Naraku asked as Sesshomaru stayed quiet, he didn't want to bring Rin into this. It was his fight not hers; he stroked his silver hair slightly as if not a care in the world. "That girl means nothing to me, she is just someone who follows," he answered his eyes cold yet again. "Oh is that so? Then I hope you don't mind that I have personally asked for her to be taken out," Naraku said, and then moved his head closer his red eyes now gleaming, "Permanently," he added his voice a little lower.

Sesshomaru then felt his eyes grow red, how dare the likes of him even try to lay a finger on Rin. "Oh I see you are mad, and I thought you told me that she meant nothing to you," Naraku stated as he looked at the floor intensely. Sesshomaru's silver hair was now slightly floating by his head as he growled deep in his throat. "If you had put a single finger on-" he began before Naraku placed a hand in front of his body. "I have not touched her, but I don't know if my help has, she may have killed the girl already." Naraku replied as Sesshomaru's red eyes deepened in anger.

"I would say you should hurry, before my hired help takes her out," Naraku stated looking at his hands as if they were more important, Sesshomaru was overtaken in anger as he felt his fangs growing immensely. Letting the sensation of being in his true form Sesshomaru felt his bones jerk and grow as he gained height, but before he fully transformed he darted forward and sank his teeth into Naraku's shoulder as the man laughed and disappeared. A small wooden plank was left in the shape of a human, "A puppet," Sesshomaru whispered his fangs touching his lower lip. "You will pay Naraku!" he yelled for the first time in his life as he hurried off in a run towards Rin's house.

He hoped nothing had happened to her or he would have Naraku's head for sure,

Rin held her hair to her head as she held onto the window sill tightly feeling the wind getting stronger, once her fingers nearly slipped she felt a sharp tug on her leg as she saw Sesshomaru lightly puling her leg from behind her with his fangs. Letting the sill go she was flung onto his snout as she held tight, his white fur seemed like a safe haven for her as she snuggled closer to his warmth. A soft noise was heard from him as she recognized his voice but it was hushed, "I'm glad you're safe," he stated as Rin nodded slightly.

He then bent down as he clutched her close as Rin noticed he was transforming back to his human form, "Hold tight," he whispered as Rin held tight as he turned. Soon instead of holding his snout she was huddled onto his chest as his arms wrapped around her small form protectively. He laid them both down as he tried to stay as low as possible, he could take out this tornado but he had no power right now. He just needed to wait until the storm passed.

Once Rin thought it was safe she opened her eyes to see over Sesshomaru's right shoulder, the vortex was right above them. It's loud howling nearly broke Rin's eardrums as she watched the gigantic storm move slowly, inside the swirling monster lighting struck almost every ten seconds. Its walls were as black as coal as it moved left to right switching directions it was moving to the left as Rin watched, and for a split second she thought she saw a flying feather with a woman atop it. She couldn't recognize her but she looked familiar somehow.

Once the storm moved on Sesshomaru stood on shaky legs, the suction of the storm had nearly gotten him in the air. Looking down he sighed in relief to see Rin getting up also, he was glad she was alright. Before she could look up into Sesshomaru's eyes he grabbed her by the shoulders and took her into a fierce hug. His head was buried in her hair as Rin blinked before hugging him back just as tightly.

"I thought I had lost you," he stated into her ear as he kissed her neck lightly, she smiled at his feathery touch. "I thought I was going to die, and I thought about you, I was so scared," she whispered back as se rested her head on his right shoulder hot tears coating her eyes.

Sesshomaru stepped back and cupped her chin with his right hand as he forced her to look at him, wiping a stray tear from her cheek Sesshomaru smiled slightly. "It is alright, the storm has pasted," he stated, and even though it was a matter-of-fact Rin stepped closer and kissed him anyway. He didn't even hesitate at her touch as his mouth ground upon hers as he tugged her body close. Rin didn't care if another tornado was coming their way at the moment when her senses were taken over with wanting for the man.

When the tornado had almost struck her she thought she was really going to die and never see Sesshomaru again. But now that she was a live and kissing the very man she thought she would never see again she kissed him harder savoring his taste, his touch, his scent, him. Once they broke apart both looked into each others eyes until it felt like an eternity had passed.

"Rin..." Sesshomaru whispered as Rin placed a finger by his mouth, "It is alright, let me get everything done, then we can stay here for awhile," she stated as Sesshomaru nodded. He was just darn happy she was alive at the moment that he didn't care where they went so long as they were together.

After the tornado attack Rin had cooled down from the shock as her and Sesshomaru had taken the steel planks off the barn and let the horses out. Mika was so glad that she was free and she had rubbed Rin's arm lovingly and even patted Sesshomaru's shoulder with her snout in thanks.

Both horses seemed happy to be alive since both were eating hey from the same wooden feeding box. After the horses were calmed they worked on the house, after that it was about nightfall as the couple went into the house and Rin made lemonade. "Thanks Sesshomaru for your help," Rin said as the silver haired man nodded.

"Anything for you," he answered and Rin smiled at the hint of flirt in that statement, but brushed it off as she sat next to him with two cups of cold sweet lemonade.

Kaugra sat on the leather couch of Naraku's apartment twirling her wine glass watching the red liquid swirl with the cup they moved as if one. She just wished her nerves were so intact; Naraku had been enraged when he heard she had failed, but not as much as she was when she noticed how protective Sesshomaru was with that human wench.

Her thoughts were scattered as she noticed Naraku walking in a wine glass of his own balanced in his long fingers. His hair was to his waist in curls as always, looking perfect framing his face like that. Kaugra was never interested in her boss because of the way he ordered her around; it was as if he owned her. "So tell me Kaugra...What is so interesting about Inutashio's older son?" he asked, she detected no hint of jealousy in his words but of curiosity. "He has power and wealth," she answered, that was all she saw in the icy man when he would work with her. "And I don't have that?" Naraku asked, "Well all I wanted was a high pay, a reason for me to splurge on anything I want. I want to prove to everyone that I am worth it. Being Sesshomaru's wife would show that since he is such a picky man," she explained all the while looking into her wine glass.

"Hmmm..."he stated as he placed a hand on her shoulder, she glared at it as he made no move to remove it. "Well I'll make a deal with you, if you still wish to be Sesshomaru's wife, give me 2.2 billion dollars once you are and I'll give you all the info you need on the girl who has him...occupied, at the moment," Naraku replied as Kaugra thought it over. "Fine, but as long as you give me everything," she stated as Naraku smirked and nodded.

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru as he drank the lemonade like he did when they had first met, like it was the best thing in the world. He then bent so his lips grazed her neck as Rin shivered slightly; his lips were cold from the lemonade as Rin giggled. "Hey that is really cold," she said as Sesshomaru smirked against her skin and to make her squirm more he let his even colder tongue slid across her neck as she nearly screamed. Only a small giggle passed her lips as she bit down on her lower one.

His arm traced around her waist as he nuzzled closer so his silvery hair tickled her nose slightly, but the moment was ruined by the sound of the phone ringing. Sesshomaru let out a very nasty word as Rin pushed him off slightly, "It'll only take a minute," she promised as she answered.

"Hello?" she asked as she balanced the phone on her shoulder.

"Um...yes is this Rin?" a woman asked as Rin looked bewildered at the mouth piece.

"Ye...yes, can I help you?" she asked as the woman cleared her throat.

"Well my fiancée went by earlier saying he was going to buy a horse and he hasn't been back for a couple hours. Do you know where he is?" she asked as Rin narrowed her eyes, no man was here but Sesshomaru...

"What is his name?" Rin asked as the woman answered "Sesshomaru, he promised he would only take a minute, men these days right?" she asked as Rin nearly cried out in shock. Sesshomaru was engaged! She suddenly had the feeling of being used.

"He promised me a tour of the town tonight too, and he said we'd take a tour of his place too tonight, I bet he forgot about it, he does love horses you know." She stated as Rin fell back on the kitchen wall for support.

"Oh I almost forgot my name is Kaugra, he has been away on business so long sometimes he is so caught up he forgets my name," the woman giggled as Rin nearly cried, away on business? That was such a common line for when men cheated on their wives. So Sesshomaru had just used her when all the time he had a wife at home?

"I will tell him, don't worry," Rin stated and before Kaugra could thank her she hung up tears in her chocolate eyes. To think she had almost had feelings for such a...a scum!

She then stomped out to see Sesshomaru standing there his golden eyes filled with concern, she then softened. Maybe if she kept a little longer...no this needed to be taken care of now. "Why didn't you tell me?" she choked out as Sesshomaru gave her a confused look. "Told you what?" he asked as Rin stomped her foot loudly. "Told you what? That you had a wife!" Rin cried tears threatening to fall that very second.

"A wife?" he asked, "Yes she just called telling me that she wanted you back before tonight so you could go around the city together and send time at your place. Did what happen between us mean nothing?" Rin asked a few tears streaming down her face. "What? I don't have-," he began but Rin held up a hand. "Her name s Kaugra, and she told me you were supposable off on business when you were with me, so am I just that? Business?" Rin was near yelling at the top of her lungs. Sesshomaru then narrowed his eyes, 'Kaugra..." he growled. "So it is true then?" Rin asked her voice choking out every word, so he did just use her. "No, she is not my-," he began but Rin shoved him out the door and hurried off the lawn to get his horse.

"No you don't understand," he tried to explain but she sent him a glare, he quieted at the tears that made them red and at the obvious hate in her eyes. She kept walking as she answered. "Oh I understand all right, you just got tired of your wife and wanted a little fun. So when you came to my horse auction you were attracted to me and thought I was the best young woman to fool into loving you for your own pleasures," Sesshomaru stared at her dumbstruck, how could she think so low of him?

Once she reached the stalls she took the Arabian's reigns and stuck them into Sesshomaru's hands. "Rin..." he began but Rin glared up at him. "Leave, I don't want any more pain then I am going threw right now," he shook his head. "Are you going to throw what we had out the door?" he asked as Rin kept looking into his hurt golden eyes. "Well what's the difference, you threw what we had out the door since the first time you kissed me," she replied as Sesshomaru slid his fingers threw his hair in frustration. "No Rin I-," he began but she interrupted him "Get out," he looked down at her was she serious? "GET OUT!" she screamed as Sesshomaru stepped back, there were tears now coating her cheeks as she watched him. He had the urge to brush them away but the way she glared he knew it was best for him to leave. So he turned and walked back to the way back to the city, his home, his so called wife.

Kaugra hung up the phone with a smirk, by the sound of the girl's choking voice she knew that it had worked. Now it was only a matter of time before Sesshomaru needed a shoulder to lean on with his heartbreak and she would be there with a tissue.

NOOO! (sobs) I'm sooooo sorry! But this is part of my plot so it has to happen! (sobs harder) it will get better I promise!
