I told you I would update today! I do not own InuYasha.

The days past so slowly! But it was finally the night before when they would leave to go to Sesshomaru's castle. Rin was so excited that she was going to marry Sesshomaru the next day that she always seemed to be bouncing and had a big smile on her face that some people might call psycho. (Okay that last part about the smile is what I would be doing if I was a day away from marrying Sesshomaru, but Rin does have a smile on her face just not a psychotic one.)
Aku had helped Rin pass the time by showing her a few simple potions that Rin could make to help cure sicknesses for humans and demons. Aku and Rin had also become friends. Aku had left the cave earlier that day and had yet to return. It was getting late and the sun had already set a few hours ago, 'I wonder where she is? She is never usually gone this long.'
As if on cue the door of the cave opened and there was Aku with a male demon. "Rin this is Roiyaru, he will be accompanying us to the wedding tomorrow."
Rin gave a small bow to Roiyaru and he did the same to her. "Rin have you prepared your things for the trip tomorrow?" Aku asked her.
"Oh, umm… I don't really have anything that I own here so I have nothing to prepare."
"Oh good! Less to carry! Well good night Rin! We will leave first thing in the morning," Aku said. She then took Roiyaru with her into her room near the end of the cave and closed the door behind them leaving Rin alone to sleep on the blanket that she had been sleeping on for the past few nights of her stay with Aku.
Rin woke up at the crack of dawn. She wasn't sure if she was the first to get up or not so she went to Aku's room and she put her ear against the door. She could hear them breathing in their sleep so she knew that she would have to either wait or make a lot of noise to wake them up… She chose to wake them up.
As she was walking back to the blanket she 'gently brushed' (more like shoved) an end table that happened to have a vase of flowers on it. The vase fell to the floor and shattered.
"Oh no! I will have to pick this up before I leave!" Rin said a little louder than normal. As she began picking it up she heard movement going on in the room behind her. Rin smiled to herself, 'Mission accomplished,'
Aku opened the door; she was just wearing a thin night robe. "Rin what happened?" she asked.
"I was walking by the table and I guess I accidentally knocked over the vase," Rin said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
Aku smiled to herself, "Rin you make look innocent, but that only shows what a bad liar you are." Rin's face turned bright red. Aku then walked over to the broken vase and muttered a spell and the vase was back in one piece. "I will go wake up Roiyaru, then we will leave okay."
Rin got a big smile on her face, "Yes okay! Please hurry!"
In about twenty minutes they were on their way to Sesshomaru's castle. Rin was skipping and wishing that she could just run the whole way to her home. While Aku (the real Aku by the way!) and Roiyaru were just walking in front of each other holding hands. Rin was growing curios of their relationship. She had never met nor heard about Roiyaru from Aku before. She had however heard about a demon named Roiyaru who was a general, but Rin had never met him.
"Excuse me Aku?" Rin asked while she sped up her pace so she could be walking even with them.
"Yes Rin?" Aku asked.
"How long have you known Roiyaru?"
"Long enough,"
"What is you're relationship with him?"
"You do realize Rin that he is standing next to me you should ask him," Aku said.
"Alright!" Rin then went behind Aku and Roiyaru and stood next to Roiyaru, "Excuse me Roiyaru, may I ask you something?"
"We are married," Roiyaru said.
"What?" Rin asked.
"You wanted to know our relationship, did you not? Aku and I are husband and wife."
"But don't you to live in different homes?" Rin asked.
"Yes,"
"Aku didn't mention being married at all." Rin noted.
"Aku and I were married in secret, only few people know that we are married and even fewer know that we are married to each other."
"Why were you married in secret?"
"Because of--," Roiyaru started.
"Rin look ahead," Aku cut in.
Rin looked up ahead and saw that her Lord's castle was in view over the treetops, they probably still had about a mile to go but they were really close. "Aku?"
"Yes?"
"May I run ahead to the castle gates?"
"No Rin, you do not want to have anyone see you act so childish, but you may run until the castle guards can almost see you, then you will wait for us to catch up so you may catch your breath,"
"Thank you, Aku!" Rin said running off towards Sesshomaru's castle.
Rin waited for about ten minutes until Aku and Roiyaru finally caught up to her. "Can we go now? Can we go now?" Rin asked.
"Rin you must calm down, I know you are excited, but you have to have some dignity when you arrive,"
"Well then how should I act?" Rin asked.
"Try to act like…hmm…Sesshomaru! Try to act like Sesshomaru!"
"Alright," Rin then stood up straighter and put an unreadable look on her face and turned around and started walking towards the gates expecting Aku and Roiyaru to follow her.
"I don't think you should have told her that," Roiyaru whispered to Aku.
"I beginning to think so as well," Aku whispered back to him. When she looked forward she saw that Rin had stopped walking and had turned to glare at them, then she flipped her hair and began to walk towards the gates again.
"She's really good at imitating him, isn't she?"
"If I didn't know better I would say it was him in a woman's body." Aku whispered to him.
When they got to the gates Rin allowed Roiyaru and Aku to introduce themselves first.
"We are allowed to let Roiyaru and Aku to come in, but the human is not allowed in." One of the guards said.
"Excuse me? Do you not recall me? My name is Rin! I have lived in this castle since I was a child!"
The two guards put their heads together and spoke in whispers that Rin could not hear. When they stopped talking the one that had spoken to her earlier said, "We are aware that Rin was to be coming here today, but we also know that Rin is only twelve years old which you," he said looking up and down Rin's body, "are not."
(Meanwhile with Sesshomaru)
Sesshomaru (Now without voices!) had been in his study looking out the window for Rin to arrive. He finally saw her show up with Aku and the demon Roiyaru. He also saw that the guards were giving her trouble, "Jaken,"
"Yes my Lord?"
"Go tell the guards that the young woman down there is Rin, and then show her to her room."
"Yes my Lord!" Jaken said and then ran out the door before Sesshomaru could throw anything at him. Sesshomaru had been quite violent the past few days but Jaken just thought it was because Sesshomaru was excited about the wedding.
(Back with Rin and the other two)
"I demand that you let me in, now!"
"We cannot allow you in,"
"Look you! I am the bride! I have to get ready! If you make me late to my own wedding I will see that Lord Sesshomaru has your heads!"
"Riiiin! Riin!" she heard an annoyingly familiar voice yell at her.
"What do you want master Jaken?" Rin yelled at him through gate.
"You two let her in! She is the one who is going to marry Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken yelled at the guards.
The guards then quickly let her in and said their apologies, "You should be sorry," Rin said as she walked through the open gate.
"Come Rin you have much to prepare for!" Jaken yelled at her.
"Yes, Master Jaken," Rin said.
