The breeze ruffled Rin's hair as she looked forth, trying to see past Sesshomaru's hair she could barely make out anything, but of what she could, she saw Sesshomaru's castle, she let a small smile creep upon her lips.

Sesshomaru glided through the air, finally, his castle was in view. Taking in a smooth breath of air he sighed gently, landing on the ground he let Rin climb off of him," Rin, follow me."

Rin nodded happily as she followed her lord,' I wonder where he's taking me.' Sesshomaru lead her to the mighty lair. Walking around many halls she took in everything she saw. Finally they came to a halt.

Sesshomaru was leading her to Hanabi, the best weaver known. Her name stood for her the vibrant colors she would sew together to make the most beautiful kimono's. Sesshomaru entered the room," Hanabi." He said.

Hanabi raised her head, her winkled face forming a small smile," Lord Sesshomaru…who is the girl behind you?"

Rin stepped forward; bowing graciously to the elder before her she greeted her," Konnichiwa Hanabi."

Hanabi chuckled lightly," Is she the Lady of the Western Lands?"

Sesshomaru winced at her questioned," That is none of your concern." He hissed back.

Hanabi nodded," Ah, she has been taken by Akuma, the female user." Hanabi said, her lips forming a frown.

Rin nodded weakly then said," But not for long. Lord Sesshomaru said the mark will go away…"

Hanabi kept the frown on," But it won't change anything about the child growing within you."

Sesshomaru growled," How did you know woman!" He ran to her, his hand wrapping around her neck.

Rin yelled," Don't hurt her Sesshomaru!" Her voice wavered as her eyes glossed over fearfully.

Hanabi gasped," You forget, I still have the capabilities of a demon Sesshomaru, may I ask why you came to me?"

Sesshomaru released his grip," To make Rin a kimono of your greatest fabrics, she will choose the colors."

Rin quietly said,"Onegai Shimasu …if you want to that is."

Hanabi grinned once more," Ah, you only seek me out for your wants. As for the josei beside me, Rin as you call her, she does not command…but ask in a unique way. I will make you one my dear." She said looking to Rin.

Sesshomaru's growl returned," When you are done Rin, Shiawase will be here to guide you back to my study."

Rin nodded smiling.

Hanabi nodded smoothly then looked back at Sesshomaru," Don't worry…" Then she refocused her attention on Rin who was waving limply at her Lord's back.

Rin felt the old woman's gaze on her and she quickly turned her attention to Hanabi, a warm smile on her face.

" Rin, Sesshomaru hasn't just sent you to me," she chuckled lightly," there are actually 2 reasons…I assume you want to learn more about me," Rin nodded gently," plus, he wants me to teacher you about the difference between a human birth and a demon birth."

" Come, I will tell you as I make your kimono…" Explained Hanabi. She then got up and walked to two dresser-like things and pulled out 5 drawers out of each dresser. In each drawer there were many shades of different colors, all made out of the finest silk," Choose milady."

Rin's jaw dropped at all the shades. Stumbling over to the drawer that had shades of pink she pulled out a sakura colored one and then went to the red's and pulled out a rose colored one. Finally making he way the last color she wanted she pulled out an egg-shell white silk and handed them to Hanabi.

"First I will tell you the stuff Sesshomaru wants you to learn, then you can learn about me…"Hanabi said taking the fabric from Rin's hands," Ok, now we shall begin." Said Hanabi beginning to sew the fabrics grinning.

Rin sat down graciously and peered at the old woman smiling as she rested her hand on her stomach.

Hanabi coughed for a moment then spoke," Now, since you have mated with a neko demon and you are a human, your son will be a Neko hanyou. The gestational period for a demon is different from that of humans, where as a human's growth proceeds in 9 months. A demon will only take 1 month. Amazing isn't it? But since your son will be a hanyou, he will take 1 ½ months." Hanabi chuckled when she glanced over to see Rin's expression.

Rin had a look of total shock,' 1 ½ months! That's not much time!' Rin thought. She shook of her surprise then nodded.

Hanabi quickly finished her kimono and handed it to her," Here you go dear."

Rin took the kimono smiling brightly," I still haven't learned about you…"

Hanabi frowned," We will save that for another time my dear." Then she shooed Rin out of her quarters laughing.

Rin smiled as she saw Shiawase leaning against the wall," Good day milady." She greeted bowing. Something was different about her though. She was an elf! Her skin was slightly pale but had a small teal glint to it. Her eyes were almond shaped and filled in a forest green color. Her ebony hair reached her butt and seemed a bit wavy at the tips and her ears were slightly pointed," Hello Miss Shiawase."

Shiawase inspected Rin then turned her back to her in a gentle spin, her blue-green kimono lightly touching the floor as she led Rin to Sesshomaru,' I can't believe Lord Sesshomaru spends such forbidden time on her.' Thought Shiawase, jealously boiled through her veins.

Rin looked at the walls once more till Shiawase stopped," We're here?" Said Rin giggling.

Shiawase put on a fake smile and nodded then opened the doors politely.

Rin entered, her Lord's figure dim under the burning candles," Hello Lord Sesshomaru." Rin said walking towards Sesshomaru.

"Shiawase leave.' Sesshomaru commanded, he looked to an open chair in front of the desk he sat on, a signal for her to sit.

Shiawase let out a huff but left reluctantly, closing the wooden doors angrily.

Rin winced at the noise Shiawase made then sat down happily.

"I assume that wench told you much about the gestational time for a hanyou?" Sesshomaru asked in a rather cold voice as usual. His golden orbs had a slight tint to them of sorrow and passion though he only showed this since he and Rin were alone,' Damn that Akuma!' Was all that he thought constantly when ever Rin was near him, her scent was intoxicating but yet poisoning to Sesshomaru for the pregnant odor that swarmed it.

Rin nodded," One and a half months isn't long…" She added. She looked to her lap, a grim smile still plastered on her face, she twiddled her thumbs, not wanting to talk much about her future child and how it won't be Sesshomaru's. The bitter thoughts caused her to squeeze her eyes shut then reopen them just to push them away.

Rin felt her life being sucked from her as the dragon disappeared," Sess-" She blacked out.

"Damn it! Akuma must have put some temporary curse on her!" Hissed Sesshomaru running to Rin's limp body, he picked her up gently, grabbing the staff and ignoring the burning sensation it gave him from his demonic aura. He carried Rin to his room and set her on his bed, then tucking her in he growled," Why is this Sesshomaru, the lord of the western lands falling for a human girl! I spend my time worrying about such a precious being because of the feelings this Sesshomaru has for her." Sesshomaru then found out what escaped his mouth," Damn it all to fucking hell!" He cursed.

Ok, well how'd it go? I suppose you want to know the words I used? Lol
