Chapter 5:

*New Years Eve*

For the past couple of days Rin had been avoiding Sesshomaru, trying not to get cornered. She was having a hard time, believing that he truly wanted her and not because she looked like a full demoness. The truth was that she's scared that his feelings are as real as hers. Never had she experienced true love, just the illusion of it. Roaming the garden allowed her to think clearly without anyone bothering her…or so she thought. Rin was sitting on the bench in the middle of the garden, deep in thought. Quietly he sat down astride on the bench before saying, "Rin…"

"Huh…what do you want pain in the ass." Rin growled being pulled from her thoughts.

"Rinny…I'm hurt…I come all the way out here in the cold to check on my little vixen and there is no 'hi Kenji, how are you' or 'I missed you Kenji' it's just 'what do you want pain in the ass'." Kenji said dramatically.

"I'm sorry Kenji…I've just had a lot on my mind." Rin sighed feeling guilty for snapping.

"About what….you can tell me anything Rin."

"Fine, it's been about Sesshomaru…you see I'm scared Kenji. I'm scared that if I give into his game at seducing me….that he will hurt me in the end. I don't know what love is like, and my feelings for him are strong. I don't know what to do." Rin busted into tears clinging to Kenji.

"Hey…hey…hey…The vixen doesn't cry. It will be ok…if it makes you feel any better Sesshomaru is driving me crazy about you…" Kenji said holding Rin.

"Really….About what?" Rin asked curiously.

"You have been avoiding him sweetheart. He wanted me to see why you have been distant. Rin I can guarantee that he won't intentionally hurt you. He is new at this too. You need to give him a chance."

"I'll try…where is he now?"

"Moping in his study." Kenji said letting Rin go.

Rin walked up to the study door not bothering to knock, going in to find Sesshomaru staring at some papers. "So I heard your in here moping." Rin said walking up to his desk sitting on the edge.

"I'm not moping…just pre-occupied." Sesshomaru stated.

"Kenji said your moping…either admit you were moping and tell me what's wrong or I'll leave." Rin said making a move as if to get up.

"Wait…don't go…" Sesshomaru said grabbing Rin's hand, "Rin, why have you been avoiding me?"

"Because, I'm scared of getting hurt." Rin whispered.

"I would never hurt you."

"I know…Kenji told me."

"So what else did Kenji tell you?" Sesshomaru said pulling Rin on his lap.

"You were driving him crazy for once." Rin said running her fingers through Sesshomaru's hair.

"Hn…he over exaggerates…Do you want to sit out in the garden tonight, when the clock strikes midnight?"

"Ok…what's out in the garden?"

"Every year there are fireworks. I know the perfect spot."

"Ok….it's a date."

*11:55pm*

Sesshomaru led Rin out to the part of the garden that is closest to his balcony outside his room. Up on the balcony had two wine glasses, a bench, and a big blanket. Rin smiled giving him a knowing look. He was trying to make it sweet and romantic.

"I thought you said we are out here just for the fire works." Rin said with a hand on her hip.

"We are out here for the fireworks, and ringing in the new year." Sesshomaru said grabbing the blanket.

"Uh huh…So who did you have to beg for help?"

"This Sesshomaru does not beg…But Cookie did recommend the beverage. She said you don't like champagne."

"No I don't…it's expensive piss…it figures Cookie would step in…" Rin said sitting on the Bench with Sesshomaru.

The fireworks began as the clock chimed 12. Rin and Sesshomaru clinked their glasses together, downing their drink. They cuddled under the blanket in each others arms, as they drank the bottle empty. The sky lit up beautifully for a whole hour, when it was over Sesshomaru guided a tipsy Rin into his room.

Rin sat on the bed as Sesshomaru got her a night shirt to change in. Being polite he left the room to go shower and change into his black sweat pants. When he came out Rin was in a white button down shirt that had two buttons holding it closed. Her hair was ruffled seductively. Sesshomaru didn't realize that Rin's demon side took over in her drunken state. His demon side growled so wanting to pounce and mate with this demoness. Cautiously Sesshomaru stalked over to the bed, Rin waiting eagerly. With demonic speed she pulled Sesshomaru into a fierce kiss, their tongues fighting for dominance. Clothes falling to the floor as a night of heated passion began.

Sesshomaru and Rin were in pure bliss as they reached their climax. His demon side licked Rin's collar bone sinking his fangs in as his seed shot deep within Rin. Instinct taking over for Rin as well, she sank her fangs into sesshomaru's collar bone right after he bit her. The lovers felt a wave of exhaustion as they laid beside each other catching their breath. Rin sighed contently laying her head on her mate's chest as she drifted to sleep.

********************************************************************

It was afternoon before either of the two began to stir from their slumber. Rin was the first to wake, she vaguely remembered the events of the previous night. She was aware that she slept with Sesshomaru, but she didn't remember the mating. Sesshomaru looked so peaceful and content, she just didn't want to wake him. Quietly slipping out of bed, Rin took a shower and went in her room to change into sweat pants and black tee. She made her way down to the kitchen for some food. Cookie stared at her for a moment catching the change in Rin's scent. Rin smelled like Sesshomaru.

"Oh my….you must be starving. Sesshomaru must of gave you one heck of a time." Cookie chuckled making Rin some food.

"You're no help…and that was only one time. It will never happen again." Rin snarled.

"You can't deny Sesshomaru anything…you're his mate now."

"I didn't…I don't think I did…" Rin said as she moved her shirt to look at her collar bone in the mirror, "MOTHER FUCKER…I am going to kill him…that pompous ass!"

"Didn't you know he mated with you?" Cookie said confused.

"No…I didn't…I didn't want to mate…Now I am his mate…Damn it…" Rin said in hysterics.

"I thought you have feelings for him… he has feelings for you." Cookie stated.

"I did…I was just scared that he'd use me like the other demons tried to."

Before Cookie could get another word out, Sesshomaru sleepily came down dressed in his sweat pants. His mating mark visible.

"Morning…" Sesshomaru said kissing Rin on the cheek.

"Grrrrr…." Rin growled in response. It startled Sesshomaru slightly.

"Afternoon dear…here eat, then you and your mate needs to talk." Cookie said seriously.

Sesshomaru looked over at Rin before nodding to cookie. As soon as they were finished eating, Sesshomaru escorted Rin to the study. "So what is wrong?" Sesshomaru asked.

"You mated me!!" Rin yelled.

"Yea…you did the same thing Rin…is it so bad to be my mate?"

"Why…why did you choose me?" Rin asked starting to tear up.

"You're my other half…you don't take shit off of anyone, you demand respect…and…I love you…only you is who I will ever submit to. No one will ever dare disrespect you." Sesshomaru said kissing Rin.

"Wait…you…you love me…" Rin broke the kiss a little confused.

"Yes…from the moment I met you….it wasn't until I found you that I realized what I was missing…Will you stay by my side Rin?"

"….Yes….I will stay by your side…I love you too Sesshomaru." Rin smiled making her decision.

Later that night they gathered the family and told them the news. Izayoi was both thrilled and sad. Thrilled at getting another daughter, but sad that she was going to have to find another curator.

THE END

Or is it….
