Hello. Enjoy^^ Goodbye.

I OWN NOTHING.

''In love with another man,'' Izayoi sighed. ''Very well. But are you sure, dear?''

''It has to be love,'' Rin assured her. ''I've never felt this happiness before...I want to hug him and kiss him.''

''Who is this man?'' Izayoi questioned.

Rin bit down on her bottom lip nervously. ''It doesn't matter. I can't keep ignoring my feelings. Every time I see him my whole body quivers. When he touches me, it's as if...''

''Rin, did something happen between that man and you?'' Izayoi asked.

''No, no, not yet,'' Rin denied. ''Nothing yet because I've been avoiding him since our last encounter, but it's really hard for me. Now, I can finally be happy. I don't want to give up on that love.''

''You must talk to Naraku then,'' Izayoi told her. ''You need to leave him. Only then can you start over.''

''If it were only that easy,'' Rin scoffed. ''Izayoi, Naraku gave me something last night that made me lose my wits.''

''What? What are you saying?'' Izayoi questioned.

''He drugged me or something like that because I just remember how drowsy I felt and I dreamed about making love to that man. I was very happy, but when I woke up Naraku said I had been with him,'' Rin whimpered. ''I felt dirty. I can't be with someone I don't love. I don't want him to touch me again. I don't want to see him again.''

''That bastard,'' Izayoi swore and pulled Rin into her arms. ''Let's think of something, my girl. You need to put an end to that marriage at once. Even if your mother goes nuts..no matter what..you need to leave him. And if that man is the love of your life, listen to me, you deserve to be happy. You do, honey.''

''I'm willing to leave everything for him,'' Rin confessed. ''I want to be with him and be part of him. I want to be his. If I felt that way in a dream, how will it be when I'm really in his arms?''

''You're in love,'' Izayoi smiled. ''Oh, sweetie. I'm here for you.''

Sesshomaru dropped Mr. Jaken and his chair off in his room and was about to leave when he noticed Rin's bedroom door. He almost went to open it but fought the temptation until she opened it and came out anyway.

''Sesshomaru,'' Rin called out.

''Ma'am,'' Sesshomaru greeted her and stepped closer. ''You're avoiding me. Why?''

''You should go. If my mother sees you, she'll make a scene and I don't want that,'' Rin avoided his eyes.

''If your husband finds me, it'll be worse than that,'' Sesshomaru reminded her. ''But I don't care. The only thing I fear is what I'm feeling for you.''

''Don't say that, please,'' Rin pleaded.

''You're scared too,'' Sesshomaru pointed out. ''I can see it in your eyes. In the way your lips tremble.''

''Be quiet,'' Rin looked around to make sure they were alone.

''It's not easy to have you so close,'' Sesshomaru moved so their foreheads were touching. ''It's not easy to look at you and not be able to take you in my arms.''

Rin moved away just as Sesshomaru brought his lips closer. ''No. This can't happen. Please go. Get out of here.''

''Rin..'' Sesshomaru stopped. ''Excuse me, ma'am.'' Sesshomaru walked back downstairs leaving Rin alone.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Miroku were helping themselves to some lunch when Kagome walked through the kitchen to go upstairs.

''Good morning, Miss,'' Miroku greeted.

''Good morning, handsome,'' Kagome smiled.

''Good morning, Miss,'' Inuyasha greeted.

''Jerk,'' Kagome huffed and left.

''What did you do to her?'' Miroku asked his brother.

''Nothing bad,'' Inuyasha answered.

Late that night, Rin was lying in bed when Naraku came in, very obviously drunk.

''My sexy wife,'' He slurred. ''I missed you today. I can't wait to have you again.''

Rin sat up and backed up against the headboard of her bed. ''You're drunk.''

''Drunk off of loving you, my love,'' Naraku chuckled and moved up the bed to pin Rin down.

''Get off of me, Naraku!'' Rin shouted.

''You'll be mine again,'' Naraku whispered in her ear.

Rin fought as hard as she could until she pushed him over. ''I didn't sleep with you last night, don't you get it? I don't want you!'' Rin grabbed her robe and went to her grandfather's room to sleep.

The next morning, Naraku informed everyone that he brought a psychiatrist to come examine Jaken, with the pretext of dementia. Raven agreed. The girls were furious.

''Rin, stop!'' Naraku ordered when Rin walked out into the fields.

''I won't. I don't want to hear from you,'' Rin yelled.

Naraku grabbed her arm and turned her around. ''I'm your husband. I want what's best for you.''

''My grandfather doesn't deserve what you're doing to him,'' Rin pulled her arm free from his grasp.

''He's crazy!'' Naraku tried to convince her. ''This is best for him and the family.''

''You're the only nutcase here!'' Rin retorted. ''You'd be doing us all a favor if you just left.''

''This is how you repay me?'' Naraku scoffed. ''I married you after what that bastard did to you!''

Rin went to slap him but he caught her hand and grabbed both of her arms. ''You're hurting me! Let go!''

''Let her go!'' Sesshomaru shouted as he came up behind them.

''Who are you to stick your nose in my business?'' Naraku questioned him.

''A man who won't let a woman get abused in his presence,'' Sesshomaru told him.

''This woman is mine, and I'll do what I damn well please,'' Naraku growled.

''Since she's your wife, you should treat her better,'' Sesshomaru said.

''Oh yeah?'' Naraku grabbed the front of Sesshomaru's shirt and punched him across the face.

''No!'' Rin tried to stop him but Naraku pushed her down and went to hit Sesshomaru again.

''I told you not to touch her,'' Sesshomaru growled and blocked Naraku's fist and twisted it around his back. ''I told you not to touch her!''

''What happened?'' Raven asked Rin and Naraku. Her father moved his chair in when he heard the commotion.

''I was putting that worker in his place, that's all,'' Naraku answered.

''He was just defending me because Naraku was insulting me and he hit me!'' Rin told her mother.

''Come on, Rin-'' ''Listen to Rin for once in your life!'' Jaken yelled at his daughter.

''I was arguing with Naraku because I don't agree with grandpa being committed, and then he flew off the handle,'' Rin looked at her husband with hatred. ''He even said he did me a favor by marrying me after I was raped.''

''Oh yeah? Let's see who the real man around here is,'' Jaken tried to ram into Naraku but Rin put her arm around his shoulders to calm him.

Rin was in her bedroom looking at her arm in the mirror, seeing the bruise already forming when Naraku slammed the door open.

''You always seem to get your way. You play the victim part so superbly,'' Naraku sneered before threw Rin down on the bed. ''Be very careful about what you do from now on. Because if you make me fight that man again, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. And he won't live to tell about it!''

Naraku stormed out, leaving a shaken Rin behind.

Rin sighed as she walked towards the stables. She noticed Sesshomaru at his truck and they made eye contact. Rin looked at him for a moment before walking into the stables, feeling Sesshomaru follow behind her. Her heart began to race.

''Why did you follow me?'' Rin turned to ask him.

''You shouldn't ask that. You know the answer,'' Sesshomaru responded. ''Why else would I defend you the way I did? Knowing I could be fired.''

''Because you're a gentleman,'' Rin shrugged.

Sesshomaru shook his head. ''I'm just a man who is feeling something he's never felt before.''

''Sesshomaru, please..''Rin whispered.

''A man that can't fight this feeling any longer,'' Sesshomaru said before pulling Rin into his arms and placing his lips on hers.

TA-DA! A kiss! Reviews people, reviews.
