Chapter 5: Learn to have patience, calm down..

Inuyasha leans against the tree as he listens to Rin's detailed story of her being raped by the soldier Naru. He snarls as the story is finished up. Rin left out the fact she was pregnant. She looks at Sesshomaru briefly; he nods to her into speaking that little detail.

"There is something else Inuyasha. Something else that happened when I was raped. It could be considered good, but I don't know if you will think so."

Inuyasha snorts and looks away briefly trying to control his darker half. "I don't know how anything from being raped could be good Rin, to me it would be downright bad. Wrong even, to even call it good."

Rin looks down tears in her eyes. Sesshomaru snarls at Inuyasha. Then Inuyasha looks back once he smells her tears. "Rin? What is it?"

Rin blurts out, "I'm pregnant! That is why I am here not just because I was raped. Naru told me the next morning. I told him I'd tell Lord Sesshomaru, but he said my lord would have to choose between me and the lands. If he chose me his people would revolt and his lands end up in ruins. I couldn't let that happen. So I chose to leave. Now I am here. I need a place to stay. I feel bad though, Kaede is getting older and she is now training a new miko to take her place. So there isn't enough room for me or for the baby when he or she comes. I also can't stay with Sango and Miroku, nor Kohaku and Shiori. I mean I maybe could stay with Jenji. With his mom passing two years ago I'm sure he's lonely."

Inuyasha quickly pipes up, getting tired of hearing Rin sound dejected and out of options, "You can stay with me."

Rin stops and looks at him. "What? What did you say?"

Inuyasha clears his throat, and eyes Sesshomaru slightly his eyes widening slightly at his brother's nod of approval. He shakes his head and clears his throat again, turning slightly red. "Um I said you could live with me."

Rin's eyes widen. "But that home you showed me, the hut? Wasn't that the one you built for Kagome?"

Sesshomaru glares at his brother, ready to smack him for thinking of putting his daughter in home that was meant for another female of his brother's choosing.

"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru growls in warning.

Inuyasha shakes his head at his brother then grabs Rin's hands delicately. "No. No… it's not that hut. It's a different one. One I built."

Rin raises an eyebrow at him. "You built the one for Kagome too Inuyasha, please explain."

Inuyasha sighs and rushes out. "No it's not that hut. It's a different one. One I built while you still lived in the village. I built it in the hopes you'd move in with me one day. To be with me and be my mate. But you chose to go with Sesshomaru."

Rin gasps in shock. Sesshomaru's eyes go huge. Jaken falls on his butt and is silent. The three of them are shocked that Inuyasha who use to always be hard to express his feelings told Rin this with not much pressure. Inuyasha quickly turned away from them and their scrutinizing eyes. Rin eyes Inuyasha's back. She can see his body shaking slightly, he leans his hand against a tree, his claws digging into the trunk as he growls softly.

Finally he spoke, "I was going to ask you soon after we kissed. But then you chose to leave to be with my brother; for whatever reason you wished to go. I wanted you to be happy. I thought you were happy with me, but since you wanted to go, I let you. We aren't mated I won't control you even if we were. You can live your life however you wish. I made the hut how I thought you'd like it. I wanted the hut to become a home with you. You would be what makes it a home."

Rin looks at Sesshomaru and he nods. Rin rushes to Inuyasha and grips his hands. She smiles. "You made me a hut? A home? Oh Inuyasha!"

She pulls the hanyou close to her, and kisses him gently on the lips bot caring if father gets mad or not. Inuyasha freezes briefly thinking Sesshomaru will rip them apart. Rin breaks away from the kiss, a little saddened that he isn't returning the kiss. She whispers stroking his cheek. "What's wrong Inuyasha?"

He states bluntly, "I was waiting for the asshole to stab his claws right through me, to be honest. So what are you waiting for huh asshole?"

Sesshomaru shakes his head. "Eloquent as always Inuyasha. I am not going to stab you."

Rin giggles. "I think we are safe Inuyasha. Father can smell that this is what we both want. What I want. But is this what you want? Me? Here? Carrying another's baby?"

Inuyasha looks at Rin, a serious look in his eyes. "Yes. All of it. I want you with me. I'll take care of you. Both of you. I'll raise that little one as my own. Though I've never done it before; raise a baby."

Rin smiles. "You looked out for Shippo so you did do some raising."

Inuyasha shook his head. "Yeah I guess. Now let's go home Rin."

Sesshomaru snorts. "Well Masami will be happy to know Rin is safe. But there is something I wish to give Rin, just humor me Inuyasha alright?"

Inuyasha shrugs. His arms wrapped around Rin from behind, while Rin looks at Sesshomaru. "What is it chichue?"

Sesshomaru glows with pride being called that. He smirks, "I am giving you Ah-Un. He can help watch over you when Inuyasha has duties to the village to contend with. It will make me feel better alright?"

Rin just smiles and nods. "Ah-Un, you want to come with me?"

The two headed dragon trots to her, nuzzling Rin's shoulder, then nuzzles Inuyasha's. Inuyasha gently pats one of the necks and chuckles, "I'll make sure to give you lots of treats."

Sesshomaru looks sad and goes to Rin, pulling her out of Inuyasha's arms hugging her tight. He whispers soft and gentle words to her, "I'll miss you, if you need anything I'll be there."

Rin nods and smiles. "Yes m'lord. Chichue. I know. Inuyasha will take good care of me."

Sesshomaru surprising himself and his brother nods in agreement. "Yes he will. Jaken come we must get Masami and head home."

Rin steps back and waves to her father figure and Jaken as they leave in a ball of light to find Masami. Rin looks at Inuyasha. "So care to take me to my new home?"

Inuyasha gives a toothy grin and steps over to her. "Yes but first...this.
