Previously:

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed in anger, "I won't let you take her," he growled and swept his sword across the demons, slaying them in one sweep.

He stared down at Rin for a few minutes…his eyes grew wide in shock…

Now:

…his eyes grew wide in shock…

Her scent started to slowly change…no longer was it only the smell of a human, but it was starting to take on another scent.

"A half demon…" Sesshomaru whispered softly, almost unheard by the green imp by his side.

"Milord?! She's turned into a half demon?!" Jaken squawked.

"Yes Jaken…and I turned her into one," the dog demon said, torn in two; half of him was glad while the other half regretted doing what he had done. He was glad that she would now be able to live at his side forever since she was now immortal. Yet, the other half of his heart regretted deeply what he had done because she was a half demon…society looked down upon half demons; by bringing her back as one, her life will be all the more difficult than being a human in his kingdom.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. No, he thought, I will never let anyone talk ill of my Rin…the punishments of such a crime will be harsh. He looked down at the girl before him. I will protect you, Rin…Did you hear that? I have someone to protect now, Father.

The storm had past sometime during the night, clearing up to show the starry sky. Rin had yet to awaken and her half demon scent grew stronger within every hour.

Sesshomaru had revived A-Un who was now being catered to by Jaken; 'catered' meaning as in that the two headed dragon sent the little imp to and fro on silly errands and snickered at his control over the poor thing while the green demon was out of ear shot.

Sesshomaru had no intention in stopping A-Un's teasing of Jaken, seeing as he was actually pretty glad that the annoying imp was not around and wasn't bugging him to no end like usual.

The great dog demon took a spot lying down next to his love and wrapped her in his moko-moko (aka: the fluffy thing). She would most likely be unconscious until dawn; it will take a while for her to become a half demon and he will be there for her when she wakes. Already her fingernails had started growing into sharp claws and her ears began growing black fur and started moving up to the top of her head.

(Meanwhile with Jaken and A-Un)

Jaken ran up to the two headed dragon with a bucket of water twice the size of him. He stood hunched over before the scaled demon and panted heavily. "Here's (pant) your water (pant). Do you need (pant) anything else?" the imp asked; just to let you know why he's doing this for A-Un, it's because the dragon is a close friend and he decided to cater to him for the night until he regains his strength from being brought back to life…little did he know that the dragon was perfectly healthy again and was enjoying teasing the little green man.

A-Un rumbled a low tone in his throat in reply, causing Jaken to widen his eyes.

"You want WHAT?! But that is only found on the other side of the mountain range…it will take hours before I return with it!"

The two headed demon only feigned hurt and bowed its heads low in mock sadness.

Jaken jumped up, "I-It's alright! I'll be r-right back with them just you wait!" the imp stuttered hurriedly and took off towards the mountains to get what the other demon 'wanted.' The dragon only laughed menacingly once the toad man was out of sight.

The sun was barely over the horizon when Rin started to shift awake. Sesshomaru looked down at the half demon girl and smiled, but only slightly so A-Un wouldn't see his moment of weakness. She had dog ears, like Inuyasha's on the top of her head, but instead of white ears they were black, matching her jet black hair.

Her eyes opened slowly and Sesshomaru was relieved to see that her eye color stayed the same deep chocolate brown as usual; the ones that would constantly seem to hypnotize him further into loving her.

"Sessh..o…maru…" she mumbled softly and reached up to rub her eyes.

Suddenly she snapped out of her momentary daze and stared wide eyed at her beloved lord. "Sesshomaru-sama, but how…I died, didn't I? How am I alive…I thought Tenseiga couldn't revive me anymore… at least that's what she told me," the girl said lowly and gasped, "Kagura! Where is she?! Sesshomaru- sa-"

She was cut off by her lord placing one of his clawed fingers up to her lips to silence her. "Rin, you no longer need to call this Sesshomaru by his name with such formality…I am simply 'Sesshomaru' to you now. And as for your questions; I have slain Kagura and now she and her sister are no threat to you anymore. And Tenseiga still revived you…only there is one thing you should know…" he trailed off.

Rin looked at the dog demon in confusion, Sesshomaru-sam- I mean Sesshomaru- never had difficulty with speaking so why does he now?

She reached a comforting hand out to touch his shoulder but she stopped halfway there. Her hands! They had CLAWS! She reached up and touched her face and noticed something different about her ears…they were on the top of her head and they were dogs ears!

She gasped and Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes, Rin, the only way Tenseiga could bring you back to me was if I turned you into a half demon."

"So…I'm immortal now?" she asked hesitantly.

Sesshomaru would have winced at the tone of her voice but controlled himself, "Yes Rin…you are immortal now."

He waited for her to get up and leave after she found out she was turned into a half demon without her consent…but she never did. In fact, the reaction he received was the opposite of his assumption...

Before he could react, he was tackled into a tight embrace by the girl.

"Sesshomaru, this means I can stay by your side forever!" she cried with joy into his chest and the dog demon smiled despite A-Un's watchful eyes.

"Rin…" he said slowly.

She thought he was annoyed with her close proximity to him and blush while whispering and apology. As she tried to back off of him, however, his hands tightened around her waist causing her blush to turn an even deeper shade of red and she looked up at him shyly.

"I wish you to be this Sesshomaru's mate."

The girl's eyes brightened in happiness and she nodded vigorously, "Of course Sesshomaru! Aishiteru!" she smiled and tackled him again with her new gained half demon speed.

The Lord of the Western Lands wasted no time in claiming his love's lips with his own. Oh, how long he had waited for this moment. Her lips felt so soft and her body curved just in the right pieces, as thought their bodies' were made for each other, which they were. She tangled her long slender hands through his snow white hair as he ran his hands up and down her body; they were finally able to touch what they have dreamed of touching for so long and they couldn't get enough of each other. A-Un took this moment to leave seeing as things started escalating quickly from there to a simple kiss to the untying and discarding of kimonos.

Rin's scent, still with the smell of flowers and honey, smelled even more desirable with her new demon blood in her veins...Sesshomaru's blood…his blood…the blood he spilt on Tenseiga and the blood that revived her. There bare flesh touched, becoming one, and he bit her neck, marking her as his own; his one and only. She was now and forever by his side. She was now and for ever his mate.

There's going to be an epilogue but I won't be able to post it until probably Wednesday because I have to fix my computer…I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS CHAPTER!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! (no flames though please)

Oh and Aishiteru or Koisiteru mean 'I love you' and Aishiteru is usually used in fan fictions and not actual anime/manga/real life (it's a very passionate way of saying 'I love you'…the Japanese barely say 'I love you' as much as we do in the western hemisphere…sometimes some Japanese people never say I love you but instead ' daisuki desu' daisuke-des meaning they really like each other ) (AI- and Koi- mean 'love' and Dai- means 'big' as in 'big like' or 'really like')

Thank you all for your support and please, even when I finish this story and it's all completed, still review because it really makes me happy and motivated to write another story!
