Note: Hi, all of these one shots are not in order. Rin and Sesshomaru and usually not together at the beginning of the fics. If they are I will imply it. THANKS FOR READING!

Sesshomaru massaged his temple, walking back to his private chamber. Today had been stressful, more stressful than usual. Dozens of lords begged him to give them alliance, just to make sure they were protected for the upcoming war proclaimed by the North.

Being the Lord of the West has its faults but today made him ponder about leaving the West again to travel with Jaken and Rin in the forests of Japan. He let out a rare sigh and slid his door open.

He pulled off his boots and placed them near the door. Looking out the window, he could easily tell it was quite late at night, meaning everyone would be somewhat asleep. Sesshomaru walked over to his storage and striped off his haori and placed it inside.

There was also the stress of finding a mate given to him by his mother. Yes, she was growing impatient and wanted pups, but it was Sesshomaru's decision of who to marry. Sesshomaru believed having a mate would be a nuisance. He didn't want some overindulged female at his side for the rest of his life.

Once you mate, you mate for life and that person shares your lifespan. Why would he choose to marry someone who has no interest in him or worships him for his attractiveness and riches?

"Foolish." He whispered to himself. He strided over to his futon and pulled the covers back. To his surprise, he saw Rin who was curled up, clutching his pillow beside her.

Sesshomaru smirked to himself from his little surprise she had left him. He wondered if this was intentional or maybe she slept in his room when she knew he would be away for a while. Sesshomaru scooped her in up in arms and set her aside so that he could lay next to her.

He stared at the window in front of him, listening to Rin's breathing change in rhythm and then he knew she had awaken. Rin shuffled from under the covers before sitting up and rubbing her eyes. She was confused, what had woken her up?

"Go back to sleep, Rin." Sesshomaru chimed in, causing her to turn her attention to him.

"My lord, please forgive me. It was cold in my room, so I-" Rin apologized but stop speaking when he did not respond. He glanced over at her, before going back to the window.

"It is alright, Rin." Sesshomaru stated. "Relax."

Rin stayed still for a few moments, making sure he was positive of what he said. She sunk back down into the blankets, scooting a bit near Sesshomaru to feel his warmth he produced. Even though she was much more comfortable, she couldn't fall back to sleep.

Though she flushed when she realized she was lying next him shirtless. She felt excited and anxious of something she has know clue she wants.

Sesshomaru was having a hard time keeping calm around her. He hadn't felt heavily induce to take a female before. It was making him frustrated that he couldn't brush away his manly desire. Her smell was making it even worse. An unfertilized woman who he undoubtedly cared for.

Maybe he should mate Rin.

He bit down on his lip and cleared his mind. He just needed to get some rest. Tomorrow there will be more issues to deal with and right now he doesn't want anything else nagging at him; but the problem is, he could get rid of it.

"My lord, do you think Jaken will find a wife?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru was confused by the question.

"Why do you ask?"

"Today, I saw Jaken giving a flower to another imp demon that looked like him." Rin answered, smiling at the memory. "They looked really happy together." Rin finished and turned on her side away from Sesshomaru. It made her sad that even Jaken had someone to give his love to, but she was glad he had found a mate.

Sesshomaru noticed Rin's actions. He could tell that she was feeling lonely by her scent as well.

"Hm." Sesshomaru knew the imp had had a woman on the outskirts of his personal life, but now he hears he has taken her as a mate. Everyone needs love, Sesshomaru thought and looked back over at Rin.

He could feel himself harden at the sight of her back turned to him. She was so vulnerable and she didn't even notice. Her loyalty to him was outstanding. Everyone knows to keep watch when around a demon, especially a powerful one such as Sesshomaru.

He lay down further in the sheets and pulled her waist to his. Rin gasped at the sudden ambush.

"Rin, this Sesshomaru wants you as my mate." He announced and placed a quick kiss on her shoulder. Rin did not push away but stayed silent. Sesshomaru detected her aroma enhance as he continued to embrace her.

"Are you sure me, my lord?" Rin breathed out. Sesshomaru froze and sat up to confront her.

"Do not question this Sesshomaru's decisions." He said, taking Rin into a passionate kiss.

note: this is was a quick one. I realized after I was done that I made a similar one like this. I'm keeping my eyes open for more ideas in the world so thanks for reading.
