I edited all of my previous chapters last night and wrote this new one this morning. I hope someone still cares enough to read. Enjoy

Chapter 7

I'm a what? With who?

Rin tried to pull away from the warm comfy moving pillow but something held her down. Rin was about to panic when she heard a familiar voice. "You're safe Rrrin calm yourself I will allow no one to hurt you." For some reason Rin was reassured and relaxed into the fluff. That is until she remembered Koga and tried to ask where he was only to find that her voice refused to work. So instead she tried again to sit up. This had happened before and she had learned sign language to cope. The being under her sighed. "He is gone for now Rrrin you should rest sleep you've had a hard day." Rin was so warm and surrounded by softness that she could barely think a nap sounded delightful but she still needed to know where she was. So she tried again this time simply turning her head as she shifted her body till her hands were free to sign. Where are we? She asked. Where is Koga? What happened?

Sesshomaru had been comfortable watching his mate sleep off her stress. He had taken her to the infirmary. A curtain was pulled to ensure their privacy. A sub was taking over his classes that day and he would have taken her home but she might have been more stressed if she woke up in an unfamiliar place. Or so Jak had informed him when he had handed Rin to Sesshomaru so he could go wash the wolf taste out of his mouth and show up to his classes that day. He would return later to check on Rin. Sesshomaru had laid Rin gently down on the infirmary bed but he hadn't liked the way the scent of that wolf clung to her so he had slipped his momoko around her and sat with her in his lap on the bed purring at the feel of her warm body safe against his own. It had been peaceful for a few periods now and it was almost time for lunch which was when Jak would return. It frustrated Sesshomaru that his mate wouldn't listen and sleep some more but anything was better than her being the doll she had been before. A broken doll and he had feared she wouldn't come back to him. Still she was at least moving and apparently trying to ask him something. He wondered why she simply didn't speak, so he let her sit up. Still she persisted in using sign language. Sesshomaru was surprised and a little worried but answered her questions so he could calm the worry he saw on her face. "We are in the infirmary Rrrin."He loved the way her named rolled off his tongue.

" The wolf you came with is... busy. You fainted and Jak brought you to the infirmary I am the teacher on duty." Not really lying this morning he had been the teacher on duty since he didn't have a class in the mornings. He couldn't tell it all since Jak had asked him not to. Rin apparently thought he was human and Jak had not denied it because she had a phobia of snakes something about a documentary and her hair. Undoubtedly the wolf was to blame. Just the thought of it made Sesshomaru want to tear the wolf apart, but modern day society tended to frown upon such actions….. he would have to disintegrate the bodies. However, that was later for now he had a mate to care for, a mate who wasn't speaking. Sesshomaru frowned why wasn't his mate speaking to him? "Rrrin, why do you not speak?" Sesshomaru looked down at his little mate once again puzzled.

Rin sighed she knew that explaining her childhood would take too long to explain and that it was likely that he wouldn't believe her. No one had believed her as a child not even her own father, and Koga had punished her for speaking of it. Which was probably why she was mute now. She simply signed that it was a side affect of her stress and that she would be fine in a few days. Rin didn't see Sesshomaru frown at this explanation and so thought that he believed her. She then asked if she could go to class. "No Rrrin, I have something to talk to you about. But first who is that wolf to you." Rin thought about how to answer his question and what they could possibly have to talk about. He is my fiance. She was puzzled as she felt Sesshomaru growl. Felt? Rin looked down and finally noticed that she was sitting in Sesshomaru's lap. Rin turned almost completely red as she spang off of his lap, Sesshomaru had let her go so that she wouldn't fall back off of the bed, and she scrambled away from him. Correction she tried to scramble away from him. but the white fluffy thing on his shoulder held her captive by the bed. Rin frantically signed that Koga didn't like the smell of other guys on her and that whatever they had to talk about they could talk about without him holding response was a growl that instinctively made her freeze. His white fluff pulled her closer as he growled in her ear, "Cancel it, break off the engagement."

If Rin had not been so scared she would have laughed bitterly… having a voice would have helped as well. Did he really think she wanted to be engaged to that abusive walking nightmare that she wouldn't have broken the engagement if she had any way out? Things simply weren't that easy and she told him so despite her fear. Sesshoumaru's response was to growl louder "Then find a way to make it easy, I will not have my mate belonging to some weakling flea bitten mutt." Your mate? Since when? Rin was sick of all of this drama all of this pain and all of these overly dominate piss for brains mutts trying to control her. I'm not five I'm sixteen and I am sick of all of these dogs sniffing around my skirt and trying to hump my leg. I am not a thing to be traded off at will I am a human being and I will thank all of you misogynist pigs to remember that. Kami between you, my dad, Koga and Kohaku I'm going to go on some insane killing spree. And don't even mention Miroku and Inuyasha. I will find a way to end this engagement but if and when I do it will not be to become someone else's possession, it will be so I can finally be my own person again. So mate or not back off. Rin's hands flew as she continued her rant on all men (except Jak) Going into detail about how she was going to get rid of all of them then bury them in her flower garden,nice thing about sign language, there was no need to stop and take a breath.

Sesshomaru watched this stunned. He had not known that his mate had such a sadistic streak in her. It amused him and quite honestly seeing her so vicious amused him. Before he knew it, he was chuckling before full on laughing, much to Rin's chargen. "You my little mate are wonderfully vindictive. I agree you should be your own woman but surely you will allow this Sesshomaru to court you. This Sesshomaru will be unable to let you go otherwise." He smirked and pulled her a little closer. "Who knows you may even find this Sesshomaru a help to your plans for revenge." Rin blushed as she thought of her rant and opened her mouth to answer when the door flew open and Sesshomaru quickly let go of her just before the curtain parted and Rin found herself in the arms of Jak.

"Angel are you ok? I was so worried. Did that big bad wolfie do anything to hurt you?" Rin smiled as her friend continued to squeeze her. "Don't ever scare me like that again…. Angel? Angel why aren't you talking?" Rin told him the same thing she'd told Sesshomaru. Jak shared a look with Sesshomaru that said bull crap and patted Rin gently on the head. "So this is why you made me take those sign language classes." Rin blushed harder and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. Jak grinned "She insisted that Ayame and I take sign language classes with her during the summer, I thought it was weird that she already knew everything." The bell rang Jak ignored it "Mr. Taisho would you mind taking rin home she lives nearby but I need to stay after school for something." Sesshomaru nodded and picked Rin up and she struggled insisting that she could walk. Jak and Sesshomaru ignored her struggling. "Bye bye Rinny see you next week." Rin's eyes widened it was only Tuesday. She glared at Jak and mentally added him to her list of men she would like to wallop. Jak's laugh followed them down the hall.
