In the morning Rin laid in bed, she didn't feel like getting up just yet.

"Rin get up!" Dian said as he went to the window and threw open the curtains.

Dian was the person who got Rin dressed and did all the other things that Jaken didn't want to do. Not only that Dian was Rin's Best Friend.

"Go away Dian!" Rin said as she pulled the blankets over her head.

"Well you know." He sat down on the bed next to her "If you don't Lord Sesshoumaru will be angry with you."

Rin sat up and looked at Dian "Right now I don't care what he thinks or how he feels." She flopped back down on the bed.

Dian looked down at her covered form "Rin did something happen that I don't know about?"

She sat up and wrapped the blanket around her "He wants me to find a mate. And right now there is someone here who wants to court me." Rin put her head down and put her hand to her head and started to pull her hair. "No I take that back he is courting me" Rin pulled harder on her hair.

"What! you mean that Lord Sesshoumaru actually wants someone to court you, I'm surprised he didn't say no to this person right away." Dian grabbed her hands and stopped her from pulling out all of her hair.

"Tell me Dian what should I do?" Rin laid her head on his shoulder.

"Wow this was gong to hard to deal with." Dian rubbed Rin's head just then some thing hit the window he turned his head.

"What was that?" Rin got off the bed and walked to the window she reached out to open it to look out when all of a sudden it burst open and Shuichi jumped inside the room

Rin's eyes grew wide with shock "Shuichi-San what are you doing her" she backed up a step.

Dian moved closer to Rin "Who are you? and what do you think your doing in my Lady's room." Dian said as he pushed Rin behind him. Rin was of course still in her nightgown.

"Dian this is the person we were just talking about." Rin pushed him aside a little

"So Shuichi-San you know if your caught here Lord Sesshoumaru will no doute kill you" Rin and Dian walked behind her changing wall.

"He's kind of cute" Dian whispered to Rin

Rin could tell that Dian was jealous of Shuichi.

"Well Rin-Chan if I wanted to see you I knew I would have to break one of the rules that Lord Sesshoumaru has made for me, and this seemed like a good one." Shuichi was looking around her room.

When Rin was done changing she walked over to Shuichi who was looking at a sword that Sesshoumaru had given Rin. It was the first thing he had ever given to her it was with this sword that he taught her how to defend herself.

Rin reached over and took the sword from Shuichi "I Love this sword." She put it back in its sheath.

"Where did you get such a fine sword?" Shuichi asked her

"Lord Sesshoumaru gave it to me Shuichi-San" she put it back where he got it from

"Rin now that I got you alone I thought I might tell you how much I Love you, I know that we don't know each other and I have only a little time to show you my love." Shuichi scratched his head

"What do you mean you only have a little time?" Rin asked

"Well if you must know My Lady has only given me a month in witch to court you." He looked at her and blushed.

"Your Lady and what would her name be?" was his answer going to worry her

"Lady Patricia of the Eastern Lands." He said

"Wow! Really." Rin's head was spinning

"Does that shock you?" he cocked his head to one side

"I don't think so." She put a hand to her cheek

"Well we can talk some more met me in the rose garden, like I said I only have a short time here." Shuichi said all this as he walked to the window when he was close enough he jumped.

Rin was shaking her head when the room door burst in and Rain came running in with his sword drawn.

"Rin-Chan where is he?" Rain looked around when he found nothing he put his sword back in its sheath. "Did he do anything to you?"

"No Rain he just wanted to see if I was ok, Rember he thought I was ill last night." She moved closer to the door to leave

"Stop! If he ever comes here again to call to me or to Our lord and if all else fails Jaken." Rain told her

"I will Rain." Rin walked out the door, she wasn't going to go to the Rose garden to see Shuichi she was going to make him wait after what he pulled this morning.

A few hours latter she showed up at the rose garden "Oh man I thought he would give up waiting for me." Rin though as she saw him walking towards her.

"Rin-Chan what took you so long to get here?" Shuichi smiled at her

she was going to have to think fast "Umm.. well after what you pull this morning I've had to have some guards with me. So I had to lose them Yeah that's it."

"Oh I see." He reached out to take her hand

"So what do you want to talk about." Rin looked down at their hands

"Well I thought you could tell me more about yourself." Shuichi turned her hand over to look at her palm

"What do you mean Shuichi-San." She tried to take her hand away from him

"Well like how did you end up living here with Lord Sesshoumaru." He let go of her hand.

Rin waked to a bench that was under a tree and sat down Shuichi sat down next to her

"That's a long story, and after what you did I don't know if I want to tell you it.

"Oh come on it has to be…." Shuichi's voice was cut off by Sesshoumaru he had grabbed Shuichi by the throat.

"I was just informed that you were in the East wing this morning would you care to tell me why?" Sesshoumaru squeezed Shuichi's throat

Shuichi's face was turning red. "My Lord stop it! Let him go." Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru and grabbed a handful of his kimono

"Stay out of this Rin I told him to stay out of the East wing." Sesshoumaru let out a growl

"I know you did My Lord, but if you want him to court me he is going to have to see me sometime without you and Rain.

Sesshoumaru turned to look at her "RAIN!" he yelled out when Rain appeared Sesshoumaru let go of Shuichi "Take him to his room and put guards at the door until I come and see him.

Rain bowed to Sesshoumaru "Yes my Lord." He looked at Rin she had her head down

Sesshoumaru stepped over Shuichi, Rin knew that he was mad so she put her head down lower when he was about to walk pass her he reached out and grabbed her hand, Rin let out a surprised gasp Sesshoumaru was about to let go of her hand, but she reached out and garbed his hand with both of hers when he looked down be could see her cheeks start to blush.

When Sesshoumaru reached a small pond at the back of the garden he had made up his mind to tell her how much he loved her. "Rin I know that I told you that I wanted you to be courted by Shiba-San but…" he turned to look at her

"What is it My Lord tell me" Rin closed her eyes and waited to here the words. He couldn't face her so he turned back around to face the pond.

As Rin stood there waiting to hear his voice tell her what she hoped was something about love. Someone grabbed her from behind, with their hand over her mouth she reached out to Sesshoumaru.

"Rin I don't want you with Shiba-San I want you only with me because I love you." He took a deep breath and turned to look at her she was gone. He looked around when he found nothing he ran inside to find Rain.

When Sesshoumaru found Rain he was at the front entrance "Rain Rin is missing."

"Look my Lord" Rain pointed to the sky

"Is that?" Sesshoumaru could barely make out Rin

"Yes my lord, I thought I felt something so I came out here to see if something had broken in but when I got here I seen Rin-Chan being carried away when she saw me she had called out to me, I sent a bolt of lighting at the person who has her but I'm afraid that it wasn't enough, I didn't want to hurt Rin-Chan either."

"Rain send a tracker out to find out where she is being taken to." Sesshoumaru was mad his eyes were tinting red.

"My Lord keep calm we will find her and bring her back." Rain reached out and grabbed Sesshoumaru's shoulder.

Somewhere in the sky

"Who are you?" Rin asked as she held on shed didn't want to fall

"No one you know Rin-San." He said to her as he headed to the Eastern Lands

"Then how do you know my name?" she frowned

"My Lady's chief commander told me my targets name." He looked straight ahead

"And what would your Lady's name be?" deep down Rin knew what her name was going to be.

"Lady Patricia of the Eastern Lands."

"Some how I knew it would be her." Rin laid her head on his shoulder "I wonder what she wants with me?"

The Eastern Lands

"My Lady I just got news Shade has Rin Black and he is on his was back." Cain said as he entered the green room.

"Hum.. Good when she gets here bring her to me." Patricia smiled 'we'll see if your good enough for my Shuichi.

"Yes My Lady." Cain bowed to her and left the room.
