Alright I Finally get to update. I got the five reviews I was waiting for and now I'm updating the story. A lot of you were confused in the last chapter, what happened between Rin and Sesshoumaru was not romance. Well at least not from Sesshoumaru's point of view. To him it was only lust, at least that he will admit. To Rin it was love and romance. Alrighty then; thanks to every one that reviewed. I hope you enjoy chapter 2 of My Eternal Love.

Chapter 2

Sesshoumaru's POV

I walked back to where Jaken was waiting. He stared at me slack jawed. I smell Rin's arousal and know she is coming back, the water no longer containing her scent. She crests the hill and seeing her, the mask almost cracks; she is so beautiful. She smiles and walks towards me. However, Jaken intercepts her and begins reprimanding her for her actions, practically calling her a roadside whore.

The look of hurt on her face is so intense I have to react. How dare that little toad compare my gorgeous Rin to some bitch that gives up her body for some simple pocket change. He wouldn't dare talk to her in such a manner again without fear of incurring my wrath. I reproach him for his words and he is quick to shut his impudent mouth. That should do. The smile returns to her face once more, but a bit dampened by his comment. What he said must have hurt her deeply. She walks up beside me. Gods! Even the way she walks is seductive. The way her whole body sways is enticing and yet she still looks so elegant. After awhile she asks me if I feel nothing or if it's merely a mask. Why on earth is she asking me something like that? She knows I must where this mask void of emotion. I answer her, simply telling her what she already knows: that she can answer that question herself. That answer should satisfy her. Rin quickly apologizes, lowering her gaze, and continues walking beside me in silence. As we walk she seems to be at war with herself. She suddenly steps in front of me and looks up, a question in her eyes.

"What is it Rin?" I asked concerned. She looks as though she is about to break down and cry.

"Sesshoumaru-sama," she blurts out, tears beginning to form on the edges of her eyes, "Do you . . . do you . . ." She brakes off and runs into the woods. I run after her and catch her before she's gone ten feet.

"Rin, what is the matter with you? Why are you acting like this?" I take her into my arms and she buries her face in my chest, letting the tears run freely. I just sit down where we are, holding the weeping, quaking girl in my lap. I try to remain unemotional, but this girl has the ability to bring out the emotions I try so hard to hide. Rin, please tell me what's wrong. . . I will stop whatever is bothering you if you just tell me what it is. My mask shatters and my compassion and concern show on my face.

"Rin," I say, concern filling my voice, "Please tell this Sesshoumaru what is wrong."

I continue to sit there, holding the crying girl, stroking her hair and keeping her close to my heart. She looks up at me, her face red and puffy from crying.

"I . . . I . . . I love . . . I love you," she finally manages to stutter, her eyes glimmering with tears.

Then it hit me; hearing that made me realize that the poor girl had fallen in love with me. It wasn't only simple human lust that had driven her before, but love. What is this feeling in the pit of my stomach? Why am I feeling anything towards this girl? As soon as I thought about it the feeling vanished, but I still wondered what it had been. Rin buried her face in my chest once again. This time thinking about her I hold her away from me long enough to remove my armor. Now she plunges her head even deeper into my chest. I wrap one arm around her body, the other continuing to stroke her hair. When her sobs finally cease, I realize that she is asleep. I pick her up and her back to where Jaken has set up camp.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, I see you have retrieved Rin. Is she alright?" he asked, his concern for her obvious.

"Rin is fine; she is merely sleeping," I reply, my mask concealing my emotions from my retainer once more.

I begin to carefully undress her, trying not to wake her. She stirs a little but does not awaken to my relief. I lay her down on her blankets and cover her up with them. I think for a moment before deciding to join her. I lay down beside her and find sleep holding her in my arms.

Rin's POV

I wake up naked with a warm body behind me. The last thing I remember was crying myself to sleep in my lord's arms. I realize he must have brought me back here when I found slumber. I still need to know if he loves me. But I can't ask him yet. He is laying behind me, with his arm around me. He is so close I can feel his breath on my neck. His other hand is resting on my upper thigh. I know he is awake; most likely having awakened the moment I did. I get up and search for a kimono. I watch his eyes follow my naked form around the camp. Jaken suddenly emerges from the woods looking somewhat disgruntled. When he sees me, he drops what he is carrying.

"RIN! What are you doing you crazy girl! Have you no decency! Put some clothes on for crying out loud!" he yells turning away from me his originally green face turning to something of a putrid light pink.

Finally finding what I am looking for I answer him, "As you can see Master Jaken, that is what I was attempting to do until you decided to delay me with your yelling." Something like a trace of a well hidden smirk appears on Lord Sesshoumaru's face as Jaken walks back into the forest muttering something about crazy teenage girls and not wearing clothes. I find myself grinning as I put on the black kimono with white flowers. Sesshoumaru-sama is watching me as I pull it on slowly, obscuring every curve and hollow of my body. I don't know why I continue to entice him, seeing as how he already took me. But, I want him to do it again. In my mind I keep reliving the moment he thrust into me breaking my maidenhood, taking my virginity. Gods, I'm horny again. I know he knows, but what does my lord think of me now? The thought of my lord thinking less of me extinguishes my arousal. I walk over and sit down next to him. He sits up and looks down at me as if studying me. I lean up against him, putting my head on his shoulder.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, did you sleep well?" I asked him. Why did I just ask him that? That question was pointless and he probably won't bother to answer anyway.

"I slept fine, Rin," he replied in his normal emotionless voice.

"MASTER! MASTER!" Jaken came running up, another following behind him. The other was tall and handsome; he had a tail trailing behind him and he was definitely an inuyoukai like my lord. He was not a taiyoukai but I could tell he was powerful.

He stepped forward and spoke in a deep gruff voice, "I bring urgent news from home, Master."

"Come," Lord Sesshoumaru states calmly rising and walking toward the seclusion of the waterfall where our act of passion had taken place the day before, as the other youkai follows him.

When they are out of sight, I turn to Jaken, "Jaken-sama, what's going on?"

"I don't know Rin. It doesn't sound good though," he answered.

We sit down and wait for Sesshoumaru-sama to return.

Sesshoumaru's POV

As I return Rin stands and approaches me.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" she begins.

I know what she is going to ask before the words leave her lips, "Yes, Rin?"

"What's going on Lord Sesshoumaru?" she asks gazing into my eyes.

"There is a war going on in my lands. I must leave and take Jaken with me," I answer her. I can hear the heaviness in my voice. I know she notices it.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, what about me? Aren't I coming too? Where am I going to go?" her voice is full of hurt and confusion. She's scared I'm going to abandon her.

"It is far too dangerous for you to come Rin," I answer her, the heaviness once more blaringly apparent and only getting heavier.

"So where will I go? What will I do? What'll happen to me?" tears are streaming down her face as she asks me these things, "I want to come with you."

I look at her knowing that emotions are beginning to show, my mask slipping, revealing my concern, compassion and longing. "No Rin you will not come with me. I will not endanger the life of my mate and unborn child!"

Rin's POV

Shock spreads through my body as I comprehend what he has just said. His mate and unborn child! "I'm . . . I'm . . ."

"Pregnant, yes. I've known since this morning," he replies managing to answer both of my questions at once, "While I am gone, I have decided that you will be placed in the care of my hanyou brother and his human mate." He practically snarled the word 'hanyou'.

"You mean Inuyasha and Kagome?" I asked him excited at the idea, somewhat recovering from the shock.

"Hai . . . ," he sounded annoyed but resigned, "I'll be taking you there tonight, but there is something I need to do first."

At the completion of this comment he picked me, drew me close to his body and walked quickly into the woods. I realize what is happening and before I can stop myself, a moan escapes my lips, brought on by my swiftly increasing arousal. I know he hears this and can smell my arousal, as his own is pressing against my back. My lord stops and lays me down in a bed of clover. He begins disrobing and following suit, I open my kimono, having failed to put on my obi. I lay there, my body exposed, watching as my lord finishes removing his own garments. Time appears to crawl as my lord mounts me. He lowers himself down onto me and pushes into me. Short quiet moans escape me and begin to buck my hips up to him. I surprise him by wrapping my legs around him and rolling him onto his back. As I ride him my moans grow louder and turn to screams. His eyes have a tinge of red around the edges and he snarls as he forces me underneath of him once more, no longer allowing me to dominate him. Just as I am about to fall into the void where all that remains is my pleasure, my lord thrusts into me one final time, more forcefully than before, lifts me up roughly pulling my hair back to expose my throat and sinks his fangs deep into the area where my neck and shoulder meet. There is pain but it is quickly transmuted into pleasure as my body quakes against his savage caress and I find my release. He has found his release as well and is lapping up the blood from the wound. It heals almost immediately, likely the result of his licking, but , the bite leaves a defined scar.

Sesshoumaru's POV

I couldn't allow her to ride me any longer. She needed to know her place and I was already losing control. As I rolled her onto her back I thrust into her hard and pulled her hair jerking her head back so I could plant my fangs in her neck. Rin's whole body quakes in my grasp as she finds her release and I find my own. Rin, my sweet Rin. Now you're mine.

"Rin, do you understand what this means?" I ask her a slight smile curling on my lips.

"To a degree Sesshoumaru-sama. It means you have accepted me as your mate," Rin answered me.

"Yes, but it also means that you are mine for the rest of your life as well," I responded once more, "Also no other youkai would dare touch you with my mark on you."

"So I am safe from other demons?" she asked me.

"Yes Rin, but, you still cannot come with me. I will still be leaving you with Inuyasha and Kagome. Do you understand this Rin?" I continued.

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama, I understand. It is too dangerous for me to go with you. To do so would endanger my life and that of our child. Will you be taking me to them now?" she replied pulling on her kimono.

"We will depart as soon as we have returned to camp and gathered your things," I spoke coolly and calmly putting my own garments back on.

As we walk slowly back towards our camp, Rin gets closer to me and wraps her arm around my chest. I respond by setting my arm on her shoulders. We walk this way until we are just out of sight of the camp, then, by mutual consent, we let go and walk the rest of the way back without making contact.

Rin's POV

As we arrive at camp, Jaken looks at us and practically shouts, "You marked her! But Sesshoumaru-sama, she is a human! Why would you take a human as your mate! You hypocrite!"

In an instant Sesshoumaru-sama was on Jaken, pinning him to the ground by his throat.

"How dare you question my decisions you ignorant toad! You are my retainer and thus my servant and you will act as such. Do you understand me?" He was snarling at the toad youkai.

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama," Jaken responded in a strained voice.

Sesshoumaru-sama gets off of Jaken and walks over to me.

"Gomen Sesshoumaru-sama. I forgot my place," he whimpered bowing repeatedly.

"Well don't forget it again, or next time you'll lose your head with it," Sesshoumaru-sama finished fuming at Jaken and turned to me, "Now Rin, gather your things and prepare to leave."

I smiled, "Hai Sesshoumaru-sama."

I dashed around the camp, throwing all of my things into my trunk on Ah-Un's back. About ten minutes later, all of my things were packed. I walked over to Sesshoumaru-sama, "Okay, I'm ready to go now, my lord."

"Good, then let's go," Sesshoumaru-sama says as I climb on Ah-Un's back with Jaken and we leave, heading for the small village that Inuyasha and Kagome call home. Sesshoumaru-sama is leading the way, running through the forest, with Ah-Un flying above. When the village was in sight, Sesshoumaru-sama stopped and Jaken led Ah-Un to the ground.

"We'll go the rest of the way on foot. Jaken, stay here," Sesshoumaru-sama instructed.

"Hai, me-lord," Jaken responded.

Sesshoumaru-sama and I start towards the village.
