A/N: I became really busy with RL this summer. More busy than I thought. I also became a review moderator on the popular anime site MyAnimeList, so I'm not bothering with my updating schedule anymore. So going forward, whenever I update, I will update. End of story.

Anyways, this chapter is shorter cause...I guess it would be considered a filler. But there are some important things said. hmm...it's mostly filler. Like one of those Naruto Shippuden episodes.

Chapter 24

Such a nice pheromone smell to you

What was wrong with me?

I wasn't even touching my food, which happened to be my all-time favourite. All I could do was keep looking at that sparkle on my left hand. It twinkled whenever I went for my food, distracting me. Goddammit, Sesshomaru! Why did you have to propose before I ate?

Too all you teenage pregnant ladies out there, never let your boyfriend or whoever distract you with shiny objects that obliterate your senses for food. I swear I felt like a pampered princess without the princess part and the pampered part…oh. Well…at least I was in a giant house wearing a giant diamond ring the size of my eyeball. Better not wear this in school…. Or when I eat for that matter.

I took the ring off and gave it to Sesshomaru. He gave me a quick eyebrow look, questioning my decision on removing it, and I politely said in an English speaking accent. "It was distracting me from spending time with things that matter in this world."

Great, I sounded like someone who came out of an Austin Power's movie. Guess I was ready to go with Sesshomaru to Oxford. I would fit right in.

Sesshomaru then sighed and took the ring, placing it in his pocket. "Just remind me to give it to you when you're done your binge fest. Oh and Rin, don't ever talk like that. Ever."

I glanced at him with my mouth full. "Loke wot?"

"And swallow your food before you talk. You're worse than Inuyasha on sloppy jo night."

I swallowed. "Then don't talk to me while I'm eating. Duh!"

I heard him sigh as I went back to my food. And I think I saw him shake his head too. Eh, whatever. Food was more important than everything right now.

However, the entire time I was eating, I had this strange feeling I was being watched.

And when I looked over…I didn't know why I did it…but I jumped when I saw Sesshomaru looking directly at me. He had this face…like he wanted to eat me. I didn't know what it meant. Maybe he was pissed that I was eating too much. It wasn't my fault I liked food! Blame the child inside of me growing!

"What?" I asked cautiously.

"Nothing," he blinked, resting his chin on his right hand.

"Okay," I slowly said, returning back to my food.

Then I felt a hand on my thigh and moving slowly up. My eyes bulged out and I slow turned to look at him again.

"Did you need something?"

He shook his head slowly. "Nope." He moved closer. "It's just…" I heard him take a sniff beside my ear. "…such a nice pheromone smell to you."

I froze then, mentally cursing.

Great, now my scent was a strong as a skunks smell, but opposite of being disgusting, and it was affecting Sesshomaru more ways than one. Oh yes. I was pretty sure the child inside of me was messing with my hormones or something so much that it made my scent go wild. Which made him go wild and…well…you get the picture.

No, seriously, I hope you did, because I didn't and I was very confused for a few minutes and… why was Sesshomaru taking my food away.

"Hey! I wasn't finished!"

He took my hand and threw the fork in the background. I gave him a look over sorrow before he took my hand again and started to drag me upstairs. Oh…I know where this was going.

But did he really have to drag me again?

Nope, because apparently he thought I was too slow, stopped, swung me onto his back and flew upstairs in less than two seconds. Yeah, didn't even know what happened until I was flung onto the bed.

"Common! Can't you be more romantic about it?" I begged.

Wait…

"Oh yeah," I rolled my eyes, "I forgot, you aren't a romantic."

"You know me so well, Rin," he grinned. And there he goes with the neck.

"But maybe you can try?" I asked.

"You smell too good."

I placed my left hand on his shoulder, trying to push him away. "Yes, but maybe you can pause for a second and let me breathe?"

He sighed with exasperation, getting off. I sat up shortly after and looked at his disappointing face.

You know, after all this time, I've come to realize the faces of the one Sesshomaru Takahashi. He doesn't just have one expression like everyone thinks he has. No he has several others. The Cold Look happens when…well whenever really. The Smile happens when he thinks of something horrible. I get chills whenever I think about it. The Tuesday Look happens only on Taco Tuesdays at school. His nose gets scrunched up because of the smell. I laugh every time. The Smirk or The I-am-about-the-jump-you Look happens…well it just happened. And there are several others. Then there was this look. The Narrowed-eyed,-look-at-me-and-feel-bad,-puppy-dog Look. He always did this when he didn't get his way about something, which didn't happen very often because he was Sesshomaru Takahashi. But whenever I said 'no' to him, he would look away from me and just have this depressed look and an 'imma kill you' look both written on his face.

"That isn't going to work on me this time," I said, pressing my lips together.

He moved his eyes to the side and looked at me, then looked away again.

And we sat in silence for five minutes. Five, long, gruesome, agonizing minutes.

"Oh for fuck sakes! You—"

"Rin, tell me, am I too…hard on you?"

"Hard?"

"Forceful? Rough?"

"Uh…" What should I say?

"I am…" A pause. "Rin, how could you stay by my side after all this time?"

"Well, I really had no choice," I laughed, holding the cuffs up.

"That isn't what I meant," he narrowed his eyes. "I mean, after all these years. After everything I did to you, all the things I called you, the bullying," he looked at me with soft eyes, "how can you even stand me right now?"

I blinked, shaking my head at his words. "Takahashi, what are you saying?"

"Rin… I got you pregnant after taking advantage of you while you were drunk. I placed a bet on you just to get out of wearing a damn chicken suit. I broke your heart after saying I didn't love you. I could be lying to you now about loving you, and yet you accepted my marriage proposal. You should hate me right now, Rin."

I looked down at our cuffed hands and smiled. "And yet I don't."

"Why?"

I smiled at him and shrugged. "I don't know. The heart is strange that way. Maybe I didn't stop being by your side and getting teased by you because I liked it. Maybe I've always cared for you."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Because your question is a little hard to answer." I took his cuffed hand in mine. "Us humans…it's just part of the package of being us. We can't help it. Without compassion, without hate, without love, we would go crazy. Perhaps that's why I never stopped trying to get your attention. Perhaps I thought deep down I could change even your heart a bit. Even if it was a small portion, I guess I wanted to prove that humans are worth more than you think. We might be weaker and not live as long, but we can do extraordinary things not even demons can do."

"So you're saying you would have never given up on me?" He turned to me with soft eyes.

I thought for a second and nodded my head. "Nope. I would keep fighting for you, even if you didn't want it. Guess it's just part of being human."

He pushed me down gently and stared deeply into my eyes. "Then I hope one day I'll understand humans more and help change the world like you changed me."

I smiled as he leaned forward to kiss me softly. Then the kiss deepened and I felt his tongue enter. Our hands explored our bodies while our tongue danced. We crushed ourselves together, leaving no spaces between us.

Sesshomaru made quick work of our clothes, shredding them quickly with his claws. And guess what? I didn't even care. Eh, Izayoi would take me shopping anytime.

He went back to kissing me, his lips crushing against mine and bruising them instantly. Oh I was so going to wear lipstick tomorrow. But for now, I was going to let his lips do what they wanted.

"Sess…" I trailed off, feeling his right hand drift down my thighs.

Our cuffed hands intertwined on instinct, mine squeezing him with force, as I felt his finger enter into me.

"Too…fast…" I breathed out. Oh I could already feel myself coming.

But of course he didn't stop. Why would he stop? He was an asshole, so of course he would never listen to me.

His finger went in and out several times before placing another finger in, repeating his action. During this his face was buried in my neck, sucking and nipping and kissing at every millimetre of skin.

"Sessh…I…I'm going to…" oh shit. "Ohhhhh fuck!"

And there I went. Swirls of rainbows flooded my visions as I heard fireworks go off in my ears. I should really get that checked out. But for now, I was in absolute ecstasy.

I watched his face pull away from my neck as his fingers left me. I breathed out hard when he licked his fingers, giving me an idea.

It was time to switch this around.

I narrowed my eyes at him as I used my legs to flip us. I was now on the top, staring down at the most beautiful creature on this planet. His white hair fanned out on the silk pillow. His golden eyes passionately stared into mine. I was proud of this moment, just as I was when I looked down at his trophy.

It was bigger than I remembered. But none the less I took no time to give a quick glance into his eyes and then dive my mouth onto him. My eyes kept popping up to his face every now and then to watch him groan and hiss as I sucked him. My tongue swirled around at his tip as he growled out my name. Oh yes, he was about to go out of orbit. Geez, he was faster than me!

I felt him shake, his muscles clench then BAM, into my mouth. It wasn't that bad…but it wasn't something I would have regularly. But this…these moments we had together…was what I hoped we would have every day.

"Oh fuck! Rinnnnn!" he growled louder.

I took my mouth out and used my hand, rubbing up and down, watching him break.

He collapsed, his face sparkling in the light from all the sweat. I knew it was gross, but gods it was turning me on more. I leaned over him and kissed him. He turned me over and slowly started to push into me. I gasped out, arching my back for more. And he followed by pushing in and out, going faster and faster until everything blurred and I arrived on cloud nine.

It wasn't until he collapsed again, this time on me, us covered in our sweat, that I knew it was over. He kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear, "How you let me back into your heart, I will never know, but I'll be grateful every day I'm with you, my love."

And I smiled, falling asleep in his arms.

Review ya filthy animals. ;)
