Chapter 3: The aftermath

The next morning Rin woke up with Naru glaring at her. She stumbles out of bed and looks at him. "You.. you raped me! You..how.. why?"

Naru sneered at her, "You're human. The Lord will not believe you over a trusted soldier. You are just a human girl. Plus now you will be kicked out of the palace. So go…tell the lord if you dare."

Rin gasps. "I won't be kicked out. You will suffer."

Naru grabs her face hard. "You are pregnant you foolish girl. I can smell it on you and soon everyone else in the palace will too. You will be hunted. If the Lord protects you over his people he will have to deal with a rebellion. So as I said, he will choose me and his people over one human girl."

Soon Naru leaves and Rin breaks down in tears, crying harder and harder till she can barely breath. Masami having perfect hearing rushes into the room without knocking and wraps her arms around the young human girl. She coos softly and soon Rin blabbers everything. From missing Inuyasha and loving him to Naru attacking and raping her and now her apparently being pregnant.

Masami looks into the girl's eyes when Rin lifts her head. "Rin what do you wish to do? Naru is right about if Sesshomaru does choose you, but that doesn't mean he won't choose you, and it doesn't mean he won't kill Naru. He loves you like you were blood. Yes this will cause problems, but it may work in your favor."

Rin sniffles and looks down. "How? I am pregnant. It will be a half demon which I have no problem with, but Naru may come after us, and I don't want Lord Sesshomaru to be in trouble for this or his lands to rebel against him. I must leave. I just got here, and now I must go."

Masami smiles. "You are so brave Rin. So brave. We will talk to Sesshomaru, tell him what happened. Then go from there."

Masami personally helped Rin get dressed and they headed to Sesshomaru's office. Soon Rin explained, not needing much coaxing from Masami or Sesshomaru to tell him what is wrong. Soon Masami had to hold Sesshomaru back from murdering Naru, though it would be in his right to do so.

Rin was the one who got him to calm down. "Sesshomaru-sama. Chichue. Stop. Naru isn't worth you having problems with the court, nor your lands. Nor am I worth it either. I'll leave. I'll go back to the village."

Sesshomaru glares at her. "You just got here. I will protect you Rin. I'll protect all of you. You, your little one, Masami and Inuyasha is family. I can protect you all."

Rin goes to him and hugs him tight a smile on her face."I will go back to Inuyasha's village, they can keep me safe. I do not know if Naru will come after me or not. But at least being there your lands are safe and you are still welcome to see me; you and Masami."

Sesshomaru raises an eyebrow and smiles slightly. "You like him? Yes?"

Rin looks at him raising an eyebrow as well. "Like who?"

Masami holds back her laughter as she watches these two banter.

"You like my half breed of a brother. You like Inuyasha." Sesshomaru has a mischievous look in his eyes. "Did you believe I wouldn't know?"

Rin looks down shyly. "I hoped you wouldn't find out. He is your brother chichue, and I am your daughter. We can't, in human ways he would be my uncle. So nothing would come of it."

Sesshomaru actually started to laugh. First a chuckle, then full blown laughter. When his laughter died down when he looked at Rin and Masami, he smirks.

"Oh my Rin. My sweet daughter. Human rules do not apply to us. I know of a couple that are mated that are full blooded brother and sister but they married to preserve their species of demon. I do understand what you are saying daughter. In this case though you are not my blood daughter no matter how much I wish you were. So with that, you can be with my brother."

Rin's eyes go huge. "You'd let me be with Inuyasha? I mean, you always seem to have hated him."

Sesshomaru chuckles ever so softly, and looks at Rin, nodding slightly. "Yes I used to hate him, but Inuyasha has some redeeming qualities, qualities that at times make me proud to call him my brother. Though never tell him that. So Masami my dearest, help my daughter pack and I mean with everything. We be sending all her stuff with her."

Masami gets up and does as she is told happily. She calls her servant and together she and the older lady go and pack Rin's clothes, and anything else Lord Sesshomaru was going to give his oldest daughter.

Sesshomaru then bellows out once Masami is gone. "JAKEN!"

The imp demon rushes in, crashing into Rin's side. Rin helps him up and he then bows before his lord. "Yes Lord Sesshomaru, how may I serve you today?"

Rin rolls her eyes at the imp's typical phrase to Sesshomaru as his lord sighs. "Prepare Ah-Un, we will be taking Rin back to the village."
