CHAPTER 4

"Princess Rin. I'm so glad to finally meet you." Naraku said. "You are as beautiful as I imagined you would be."

"Prince Naraku. I'm honored." Rin replied. Oh how she hated him already.

"Rin dear. Will you please show Naraku to the room he will be staying in? It's the one next to yours." Her father asked.

"It will be my pleasure." Rin said. "This way Prince Naraku."

She felt his eyes on her the whole time the walked up the stairs. "It's quite rude to stare."

"Just admiring your beauty. Is it bad for me to do so, when it is my future wife I'm looking at." He asked.

"Here is your room. Mine is right here." Rin said as they reached the rooms. Her door opened and Sesshoumaru was there.

"Who's that?" Naraku asked.

"My slave."

Sesshoumaru eyes bored into Naraku. "Rin, dismiss this vile slave from my presence and I don't want to see him again." Naraku commanded.

Sesshoumaru growled. 'No one commands me…or Rin.' He sniffed the air. 'Hanyou.'

Rin gave a warning glance at Sesshoumaru. He noticed it and went back in shutting the door.

"Sorry, he's really protective of me. He's been my slave since I was old enough to have one." She lied. It was a perfect lie because it didn't give off any scent that it was a lie.

"Once we're married, he will have to go."

"Why? Do you dislike demons or something?"

"I only dislike ones that openly defy me."

Rin frowned. He's going to be a hard one to get use to.

"My lady, I must depart. The journey has tired me." Naraku said giving Rin a kiss on the hand. Then he opened his bedroom door, went inside, and shut the door behind him.

Rin gave a sigh of relief. "Glad that's over. For now anyways." She said as she heard her bedroom door open.

"Do you wish for me to kill him?" Sesshoumaru asked. He had listened to them talking. He also smelt the want for Naraku to be dead on Rin.

Rin sighed. "No. I'm afraid I'll have to get rid of him a different way. Though it would give me great pleasure to see his head on a platter."

Sesshoumaru chuckled. This was a different side of Rin then what he got to know in the short while they have known each other. "Maybe there's luck for you yet, hanyou."

Rin shook her head. "Not if you keep reminding me of what I am, demon." She replied. When will he start using her name?

"Are you going to stay out there all night, or are you going to come in and go to bed?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Rin looked back at Naraku's door. Then went into her room. Sesshoumaru shut the door behind her. "You are going to have to chain me up to my bed to prevent me from murdering him in my sleep. I sleep walk."

"Now why would I do that?" Sesshoumaru replied.

Rin shrugged. "Good night Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Good night…Rin." Sesshoumaru said then shut his door.

She smiled at him saying her name. Then she got into her nightgown and went to sleep.

Rin stretched. She didn't want to get up, so she rolled over. She slowly moved her arm and felt something soft. She cuddled up to that soft thing then she felt the bed move slightly. She opened her eyes and saw Sesshoumaru asleep right beside her. She got up slowly so he wouldn't wake then looked around. She was in Sesshoumaru's room.

"Sleep well." Sesshoumaru said. She looked at him and saw a slight smile on his face, or was it a smirk.

"I told you I slept walked."

"Well you better hurry and get ready. Mr. I'm too good for demons since I'm a hanyou, has been demanding for you to get up and go meet him."

"I think I'm wearing off on you." Rin said shaking her head as she walked to her room and started to shut the door between theirs.

"And I on you, princess." Sesshoumaru replied as she shut the door. He heard her dress in a hurry. "Maybe you like this Naraku character more than you think." He said through the doors.

"Yeah right," she replied opening up her door to see Naraku.

"About time my lady. I'm hungry."

"Sorry. I slept in."

Naraku looked her over. "That dress looks good an you, but I have one that would look better on you." He said lustfully.

Rin rolled her eyes when he wasn't looking. "Well, if you are hungry. Follow me. But next time, you don't have to wait for me."

'Oh, I'll wait on you until you are mine.' Naraku thought as he followed her to the dining room.
