A/N: Hello dear readers. Now we can start getting into this that we have gotten through character establishment and the girls are friends, sort of, yay.

This chapter contains a lemon. sessxrin only...for now.

Enjoy!

Kohaku had asked Izumi if he could call on her.

Having a fixed herself onto Sesshomarus fur, his moko-moko as Rin called it, they flew quickly towards the land that Sesshomaru and Rin were to call home.

Sesshomaru held Rin securely in his arms while Izumi balanced herself on the tail end of the long fur. Normally she would have inwardly laughed at the fact that he still kept such a childish thing well into his adulthood but there was Kohaku pervading her mind.

As Rin had let everyone know they were leaving and would be back at some later date Kohaku had spoken with Sesshomaru some distance off in a hushed tone before making his way over to them.

Izumi had been upfront with everyone from the start why she was there and what her role was so it wasn't a surprise when Kohaku had approached her, asked her to walk with him, she assumed to bid well wishes.

"Lord Sesshomaru has told me that the three of you will be leaving shortly." Kohaku had said.

"Yes." Izumi replied as they walked on the outskirts of the village closer to the river.

"Once you have successfully become pregnant by Lord Sesshomaru, what will you do, my lady?" He asked casually.

"As Lord Sesshomaru and this one are not mates it will be expected that I return to the east." Stopping by the river they both stared out across to the other side.

"If it would be appropriate Lady Izumi, once you are settled, might I call on you before you leave?"

"That would be up to Lord Sesshomaru to decide. We may not be mates but we are to breed."

"I already have. He saw no issue with it and told me to ask you directly." Kohaku replied turning to her. "I just wish to spend some time with you before we won't see one another again."

"That would be…acceptable Kohaku." She stated clearing her throat. Glancing in his direction she stood still but inside she felt herself tremble.

Staring down at her claws on one hand she was still attempting to compose herself. No male had ever been allowed to make a request to spend time with her.

She hadn't thought that Kohaku would follow them. If maybe he had shown up to see Rin or Sesshomaru then that would be understandable but he had specifically asked her, directly, to see her, to spend time with her.

Izumi wasn't exactly sure how to feel about the situation. It would have been easier if Sesshomaru had either told him yes or no, but the decision had been left up to her.

The fact was she enjoyed his company. It was interesting to get to know a human male as she was learning from Rin about human females. When exactly though had it been that she looked forward to their conversations and walks?

Why was she so glad and relieved that he would still come to see her even though they were leaving the village? As Sesshomaru shifted to land on the ground Izumi shook her head of the thoughts.

"Oh!" Rin thrilled as he landed placing her gently on the ground. Izumi stepped away from them a few feet back and stared at the estate.

A large front jutted out from the main house that was covered by a part of the roof. Sliding doors led inside and were ornately carved from Japanese maple giving them a rich color in contrast to the porch.

"Lord Sesshomaru, this is…I didn't…" Rin stammered.

"There are quarters in the back for Jaken and a stable as well for An-Un." He stated. Rin turned to face him flinging her arms around his middle.

"It's beautiful." She sighed out. Turning back to their new home she ran to the stairs bounding up them. Opening the front doors she went inside leaving Sesshomaru and Izumi alone.

With her eyes trained to the ground as soon as Rin went inside she reasoned that until it was time to breed she would be kept in the back away from the main house which suited her fine.

"Izu!" She heard Rin shout as she ran back outside. "Come and see your room." Grabbing her hand and tugging on her Izumi stood confused.

"My room?" She asked slowly staring at Rin.

"Yes!" Rin laughed out following behind her as she coaxed her into the main house.

They walked into a sitting room that served as the front before moving down a corridor. "See, this is mine and Lord Sesshomarus."

She pointed to the carving on the wall next to the sliding door of the hexagonal pattern with the six petaled blossoms. "Now over here…" Bringing Izumi to another room beside hers she pointed to the flowers carved into the woodwork. "Is your family crest, yes?"

Izumi stared at the sunflowers with the petals mimicking the rays of the sun. "Yes. It is the symbol for the eastern house of the sun."

"See, I told you that Lord Sesshomaru is not so bad." Rin said opening the sliding door. Empty shelves lined the walls that went from floor to ceiling. The wooden floor was polished and immaculate leading to a raised platform to set up a futon.

The room was well lit with the windows being in the ceiling allowing one to lie down and stare up at the sky. A hearth was in the middle ready to be brought to life. "Our room is almost the same just the other way around."

Nodding her head slowly Izumi took a deep breath releasing Rins hand. Knowing that Sesshomaru was behind them she turned with her hands clasped to her front and brought her gaze to meet his.

Bending down at the waist she bowed before straightening back out.

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." She said.

"You're welcome Lady Izumi." He replied.

"Izu, let's go see the stable! I can't wait for An-Un to see it." Rin enthused grasping her hand again and dragging her out of the room.

"Who exactly is, An-Un?" Sesshomaru heard Izumi ask as Rin whisked her away in her whirlwind of excitement.

Lying snugly in her new bed against the moko-moko Rin couldn't seem to settle down. She was far too excited to sleep and kept breathing in the richness of the fresh wood that made their home along with the familiar scent of her mate.

Sesshomaru sat beside her in a simple white yukata. His kimono and hakamas were hung in the closet with this swords and armor displayed on the wall.

"I am so happy my lord." Rin gushed sighing contently. "This is more then I ever could have asked for."

"Have I not told you before, whatever you desire is yours. All you need to do is but ask." He replied moving to look at her. A light smile danced across her features as her eyes sparkled in the fires glow from their hearth.

Sitting up she knelt beside him placing her hand against his cheek to trace his stripes.

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru, you always have. For as long as I can remember." Moving closer to him she grasped onto the front of his yukata pulling on it gently. "But you see, the one thing that I have always wanted was just you. Not what you can give me or do for me…just let me stay by your side. Let me go where you go and I will be so very happy…"

Closing the gap she pressed her lips against his moaning at the contact she had initiated. Hearing a deep rumble come from his chest encouraged her to run her fingers down his front tugging at his tie that held his clothing shut.

"Let me show you how appreciative Rin is that you allow me to be with you."

Opening the robe she pushed the sides apart revealing his body to her. Pushing him down gently onto the futon he obliged her by lying back. Her fingers trailed across his exposed skin from his chest to his abdomen before settling on his hips.

Ghosting lightly over his erection only caused him to become harder.

"Rin." He whispered out staring up at the night sky through the skylights as he felt her tongue flick out and lick him from base to head and back again. Growling at the delicious, sinful heat of her tongue he licked his own lips wanting nothing more than to take her.

With her hands grasping his length she slowly eased her mouth down and over the tip sucking on it while running her tongue over the slitted end.

Stuck between wanting to say her name but giving into his more basic vocalizations of growling he relaxed and allowed himself to enjoy the pleasure and attention his mate was lavishing him with.

He knew she just wanted him for who he was rather than whom he was. For as long as he could remember there were so many expectations of him given his high pedigree.

Once he grew into his own those expectations of him became wanting something from him, their current situation with standing.

Rin had always been different. She had just loved him so effortlessly from the start ; it was foreign and overwhelming.

While at the time he had denied it and lied to himself she had seized his heart the moment she first smiled at him.

Gripping her hair he removed her from her administrations to his sex and pulled her up to him taking her mouth with his.

Removing his lips from hers he licked at her lips trailing down her chin to her throat before settling on the spot where had bitten her.

Sucking on it he nipped the flesh with his fangs drawing a small amount of blood. Running his tongue over the abused flesh Rin gripped him to her threading her fingers into his soft hair, kissing at his crown and forehead.

"Take me Sesshomaru. Please, I need you." She nearly whined out. Removing her own yukata he kissed her stroking her eager tongue into his mouth and sucking on the appendage.

Feeling her juice gush out of her onto his hardened member was too much for him to hold off any longer.

"Turn around." He said. Biting at her lower lip Rin smirked.

"Like this?" Rin questioned her tone laden with lust as she turned herself around and went onto her hands and knees. "Is that how you want me my lord?"

"Yes." He ground out gripping her hips with his claws as he clamored to his knees driven by her heady scent and her posturing.

"Rut me hard. I want it hard, show me how you have done it with other females you've lain with." She said breathlessly as he rubbed himself against her entrance.

"Rin." He whispered out.

"Show me what a demon such as yourself is capable of." Rin coaxed. With a snarl she gasped as he began to pummel her.

His thrusts were sharp, hard, and fast leaving her screaming as the pleasure rippled to her engorged bud. The force of him pounding into her as the sound of wet flesh smacked against each other was enough to make her pant and loose herself.

"Sess, Sesshomaru! Oh yes…my mate! You're so good." She cried out as he raked his claws gently down her spine causing her to shiver.

"My Rin. Only mine." He panted out as her walls tightened and clenched around his shaft forcing him to still. "Ah! Ah!" Tossing his head back as his chest heaved he pulled her up to him while he stayed securely within her as he filled her with his seed.

"Yes." Rin whispered lazily relaxing against him as he twitched inside of her. His tongue licked up the side of her throat to her cheek and then down again.

Sitting in her room Izumi could sense that they were mating. Shuddering she pulled her outer robe over her more tightly even though she knew it wasn't a chill that had seized her.

Now with the estate built she would be expected to do what she had been brought there to do and be on her way.

Frowning she laid down hoping that she could at least hold it off until Kohaku visited.
