Chapter 11-One Year Later

Rin smiled. She had moved out of her apartment and was living at Sesshoumaru's penthouse in his guestroom. They decided to do that so Rin wouldn't be alone anymore and so that they could see each other more. (AN: no…they don't sleep together…they aren't that perverted. Only Miroku is the perverted one. )

"What you smiling about?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Oh, just thinking really."

"About what?"

"About how much more happy I am." She said. Giving him a quick peck.

"Grr. Stop doing that. Stop torturing me."

"Why should I? It's fun to annoy you."

"Oh, really." He said as he licked her neck. Then he rubbed his nose in her hair.

Rin giggled. "That tickles."

Sesshoumaru grinned. "That's the whole point."

Rin pushed him away. "Don't you have to meet your brother?"

Sesshoumaru moaned. "Yes."

"Get out of here then." She said, then she pushed him out the door.

Inuyasha watched his brother walk up to him.

"What'd you want Inuyasha?"

"You know what I want. When are you going to ask her? Everyone knows it's coming, but why not make it happen soon. We all know how much you want her."

"Why do you care?"

"We don't want you to have…you know…before you become mates. That sometimes ruins the relationship."

"I can wait."

"You may think you can, but if you make your demon self wait to long. Something bad will happen."

"All right, all right. I'll ask her…but she wants us to be equal."

"Equal, how?"

"Well, we talked about being mates but we both decided that we…both want to be…demons."

"Oh, just like Kagome finally became a half-demon. You'll have to ask father how, he did change mom…well, for you, step-mom."

Sesshoumaru nodded. "Is that all you wanted?"

Inuyasha nodded then walked off.

Rin skipped through Sesshoumaru's green house. She was looking for a flower. She had found out from Toutousai that there was a certain flower that would turn her from a human to a demon when she mated with Sesshoumaru. He couldn't tell her what it looked like, but he did tell her that she would know when she found it. So now that Sesshoumaru was away, she decided to look for it.

She passed roses of all colors, tulips, daisies, but none of them were it. She was about to give up when she stumbled upon it. Bleeding hearts and demonflower roses surrounded it. (AN: bleeding hearts are real flowers, demonflower roses are made up.) The flower she was looking for looked like a rose bush, but instead of roses it had bleeding heart flowers. She smiled.

She picked five of the flowers. She then carried it back to Sesshoumaru's penthouse. She grabbed the recipe that Toutousai gave her and started mixing them. Once she finished, she poured the contents into a bottle. Then she heard Sesshoumaru come in. She walked towards Sesshoumaru with the vile bottle behind her back.

"Rin, I'd like to make you my mate, but…I can't find away to make it so you can become a demon." Sesshoumaru said sadly. "I asked everyone, but I can't find out how."

Rin smiled at Sesshoumaru. "Don't worry, love. I found the way."

Sesshoumaru looked up in shock. "How?"

"My old professor in college, Toutousai, told me how. I have it already."

"Toutousai?"

"Yes, he told me he knew you. Not to sound impatient, but lets get this mating thing over." Sesshoumaru nodded and they went into his bedroom. Rin drank the contents in her bottle then laid down on the bed.

Sesshoumaru got on top of her and marked her.

Once the mark was complete. They had their first kiss as mates. Then Rin felt her body start to change.
