Arigato (thank you) to all my readers, especially Miry, anime-queen46, lunastarcat, and Avelyn Lauren.

Sesshoumaru continued to look at Rin as he repeated her answer. " You'd like to stay here?"

Rin swallowed the lump in her throat and said, " Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama."

Sesshoumaru stood up and walked past her chair towards the door. Pausing at the door Sesshoumaru spoke. " I will tell your adopted parents your decision." Without another word, he left Rin to finish what little dinner she had left.

Rin finished her dinner quickly and went to her room and hopped right into bed.

Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, was being distracted by the images of the new Rin. 'This Sesshoumaru finds no ningen appealing and this Sesshoumaru needs not the companionship ningens have with one another.'

Morning

" Rin! It is time for you to wakeup." Jaken yelled.

Rin shot up from her bed. " Jaken-sama, quiet down." Rin said as she held her head.

Jaken stopped jumping back and forth to scold her. " Rin, why are you just sitting there! Sesshoumaru-sama wants you in his dojo now!"

Heaving a heavy sigh, she got up from the warmth of her bed, kicked Jaken out of her room, and proceeded to get her taijia outfit and armor on. Stepping out of her room, she was escorted by Jaken down to the dojo.

After showing Rin the way to the dojo, Jaken rushed off to do more things where his prescence was required.

Rin watched Jaken scurry off. She turned to the dojo door and took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. Placing her hands on the dojo door, she slid it open just enough to peek inside. She was met by the sight of Sesshoumaru doing deadly, yet graceful moves with his sword throughout the dojo.

Rin's eyes widened as she caught a glimpse of Sesshoumaru's bare chest as his haori flew behind him. 'So beautiful.' Rin thought. After a few more moves, Sesshoumaru disappeared from her view.

'Where'd he go?'

All of a sudden, the door was slid open and in it's place stood Sesshoumaru.

" How long were you going to watch me, Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked as he smirked on the inside.

" O-oh, Sesshoumaru-sama, um, I was just uh-"

" We have much to do." Sesshoumaru said as he headed back into the dojo with a furiously blushing Rin behind him.

Turning toward Rin, Sesshoumaru pulled his sword out of its sheath. Rin did like-wise.

" Training is about to begin." Sesshoumaru said with a little grin.
