Sorry about the lack of updates, I've just had midterm after midterm after midterm. My last one for the month is on monday...at 8:30...in the morning..for calculus

AN - I don't own InuYasha

Scraping of knives and forks echoed through the kitchen while the three ate in silence, InuYasha surprised at both the conversation and the meal itself. The pasta was actually quite mouth-watering despite his first inclination that it was Sesshomaru's girlfriend who made them dinner that wasn't from a can or a box.

Throughout the dinner, Rin had asked InuYasha various questions about his life, things he liked to do, what amused him, what he didn't and so on; his brother had chosen not to interrupt the two of them, but never showed any disinterest or scoffed at his answers. InuYasha had assumed that she was asking out of courtesy and that she truly held no interest in his life. Opting to amuse her, the half demon watched as she smiled and listened to everything he said, concluding to him that she was either an incredible actress or she really was interested in what he had to say.

"Are you finished?"

InuYasha looked up in surprise at her, two plates already stacked neatly in her hands while she smiled down at his seated position.

"Huh? Oh, yeah," he murmured, handing the plate over to her outstretched hand, her smile never faltering as she carried the dishes over to the sink, the china placed gently into the metal basin.

Amber yes turned to watch his half-brother, InuYasha surprised at the interest his brother was showing in every one of her moves, his own amber eyes watching the slim woman leave the table to the sink, absent mindedly sipping his red wine.

"So, Rin, right?" InuYasha asked, watching his brother's attention turn from her to himself out of the corner of his eyes.

"That's right," Rin said smiling as she turned to InuYasha.

"So you've been dating my brother for, what, four months right?"

"A-about that," Rin conceded looking over at Sesshomaru for a moment before meeting InuYasha's eyes, "why?"

"I'm just curious," the half demon shrugged, secretly enjoying the glare his brother was shooting him, "I've told you a lot about myself, but I don't know much about you."

"That's mostly my fault," Rin conceded taking her seat next to Sesshomaru, her smile remaining kind.

"How has school been?"

InuYasha looked over at his brother in surprise, the question startling him slightly.

"It's, um, it's been good, I guess," he conceded, "I'm really busy in my Master's programme, but I'm happy it's almost over."

"That's sounds nice," Rin smiled, "what are you studying?"

"Economics with a minor in statistics," the half demon told her, I figured it was best for – what I'm going to do," he finished while looking at his brother, his ears drooping slightly.

"You mean work with your brother at the company?"

Both demons turned to look at the young woman, the half demon staring in surprise at her question while his brother looked with mixed emotions.

"How did you-" InuYasha started, before Rin giggled softly.

"Sesshomaru told me," Rin smiled, her brown orbs looking to Sesshomaru before looking back at InuYasha, "that was one of the deals you father made yes? You finish your education and then he'll give you half the company."

The young demon remained speechless as he looked from his brother to his girlfriend, the second set of amber eyes not meeting his while he took another sip of the dark red liquid.

"Um, yeah," he muttered softly, his eyes still wide in surprise. "So um, how – uh, how did you two, you know meet?"

The question seemed to turn the entire atmosphere on its head, Rin freezing at his words, her eyes looking from Sesshomaru to InuYasha while her mouth tried desperately to form words.

"Uh – well – um-"

"That question is too personal, InuYasha," Sesshomaru told him flatly, "don't ask it again."

"Huh?" InuYasha asked, rounding on his brother, "why the hell not? It's just a simple question."

"It makes Rin uncomfortable," Sesshomaru told him rising from his seat, his hand on the back of Rin's chair as amber eyes narrowed at the other set, "so don't ask her". "Thank you for dinner Rin," he murmured, his lips pressing to her hair, "I'll be working late tonight, is that alright?"

"Of course," Rin smiled up at him, his own lips curling into a small smile at hers before he took his leave of the two of them, the faint blush still on her cheeks as he slipped out the door.

"I-Is there anything else you need?" Rin asked him, her eyes not meeting his out of embarrassment.

"Uh," InuYasha stammered slightly, his jaw slacking slightly at the sight he had just witnessed, "n-no, I'm good thanks."

"Alright then," she smiled, her own slim form pushing itself up from the table, her body turned to the sink.

"Do you uh, do you – want me to do the dishes, or something?" the half demon asked nervously, unsure of how to react or respond to the small incident not thirty seconds ago.

Rin laughed lightly, "it's okay, don't worry about it, I'll get it done, you just go relax for a bit."

The eared head nodded at her words, taking leave of the kitchen himself, his eyes catching the faltering smile out of the corner of his eyes, a look of worry taking the place of the carefree grin she sported since he walked through the door.

InuYasha made his way to the staircase, his own grin sliding onto his features, true, Rin did seem like a nice woman, but the unwillingness to talk about their shared past had piqued his curiosity further; moreover, if the girl was so sweet and kind, why had she fallen for a cold and heartless demon such as his brother, a man who sneered at him and his mother for their human blood.

His determination slipped onto his face, curiosity nipping at his heels. If those two wouldn't tell him anything, he'd just have to find out for himself.

Soft feet padded the halls, the delicate woman lifting a graceful finger to her lips, the look of concern InuYasha had seen cross her face still placed on her pale face. Her heart felt like it was being torn in two different directions. On one hand, she wanted there to be no secrets between her and others that were, even though he refused to admit it, important or a part of Sesshomaru's life. On the other, she in no way wanted to offend him or tarnish his pride, something that, if word got out that she was his maid, would most certainly happen.

"It's late you know."

Rin turned in surprise at the soft baritone, her lips curling into a soft smile despite the inner turmoil she felt.

"I know," she agreed, "but I – I think I might have trouble sleeping tonight."

"Why is that?" he asked gently, his arm sliding around her slim shoulders as he walked down the hall with her.

"I-" she looked up nervously at his liquid golden eyes, her fears calming as he looked at her with concern. Swallowing, she continued, "I'm just afraid of what your brother will think if he finds out what I used to do, what your family will think."

"Is that it?"

"Sesshomaru," she smiled up at him, her feet stopping as she raised a hand to his cheek, his larger hand clasping hers, "Please don't think any less of me but, I know you, I know that your prideful and have earned respect from almost everyone but-" her eyes searched his as he stepped closer to her, "-I'm just worried what would happen if-"

"Stop it."

The young woman looked surprised at his sudden outburst, her surprise ebbing away when his own hands found their way to cradle her face tenderly.

"Stop putting yourself down like this, you are worth more to me than anything," he murmured, his lips against hers, "I don't care who says what so long as you stay with me, that's all I want."

Rin giggled softly before their lips touched, the unease in her heart ebbing away at the contact between them.

"As it is," Sesshomaru told her when they parted, "there is one thing I know I can do to help you sleep tonight."

Rin felt her back slam harmlessly into the door, the great demon towering above her, his lips finding hers with practiced ease, his tongue delving greedily into her warm cavern, Rin offering no hesitation to his actions. Delicate singers wove into silken strands, Rin knowing exactly where to dig her nails so as to make her demon lover moan.

Reluctantly, Sesshomaru broke apart from her, his body pulling back to look at her.

"My brother's had your attention all day," he panted, his grin seductive and sending chills down her spine, "I've been rather jealous."

Rin smiled up at him, her hands sliding onto his cheeks, "you're always on my mind," she murmured, "no matter what I'm doing."

His lips curled into yet another grin, this one far more loving and something Rin would never tire of seeing.

"Be that as it may," he murmured, his strong arms sliding under her arms and lifting her up above his head, his lips attacking the now exposed flesh of her stomach, his tongue tickling her as her legs wrapped instinctively around his waist, "I believe it's my turn."

Rin giggle as his hand found the doorknob, the wooden door swinging open as both occupants slid into the room, the dog demon's foot closing the door behind them his back pressing against it to close the heavy wood, his lips finding hers as her own hands slid around his shoulders, nails grazing the navy fabric of his shirt.

Smirking, Sesshomaru gently carried the two of them over to their shared bed, his arms gently throwing her to the bed, her body bouncing at the sudden impact. Standing over her, the dog demon stared down at her with hungry eyes. Her green blouse had slowly come undone in their devious actions, leaving her half exposed chest heaving and lips parted as she regained her breath, her cheeks the tinged red Sesshomaru was so used to seeing and her hair mused from their antics. Rin's lips grinned openly as Sesshomaru unbuttoned his own shirt, his strong chest and abdomen revealed to her eyes, his strong arms pulling the blue material to the floor, excitement shivering through her as slowly advanced towards her, his hands and knees crawling towards her.

Long fingers began to roam freely over her body, the buttons on her own shirt taken off one at a time, his lips finding her throat and collarbone, sucking and leaving dark marks on her normally pale skin. Rin moaned at the contact, the fire under her skin igniting at his touch.

"Sessh- hah," she sighed contently, her body exposed to the cool air as the emerald shirt slid off her body, the warm hands stroking her soft skin gently.

"What is, my Rin," he murmured against her skin, his claws sliding towards the hemline of her jeans.

"I thought-that as long as I – ah – was near, you were satisfied?" she asked breathlessly, his body removing his lips reluctantly from her body to lean over her, his honey eyes looking softly down at her.

"Under normal circumstances," he murmured above her, "but when you're like this-" his hand trailing down the centerline of her torso, her body unconsciously flinching towards his fingertips, "I can't hold back."

Rin just smiled as her hands slid up his cheeks as his firm lips lowered to crush hers, a quite moan escaping from the back of her throat as his knee coming in contact with her core, her own leg curling up around his.

Long fingers felt their way to the clasp on her back, the hooks sliding off their fitted partners as the black lace slid from her heaving chest to the floor with the aide of Sesshomaru's long fingers, her delicate mounds of flesh exposed to his wandering eyes, the amber growing hungrier by the minute as he wandered her form.

"How have I restrained myself from you all this time," he murmured to her flushing cheeks, the young woman giggling at his words before she emitted a loud gasp, his clawed hand sliding between the waist line of her panties to touch her wetness directly, her breasts swelling at the contact.

Lips found hers in bliss, tongues sliding against each other in unison as he continually touched the folds of her womanhood, soft moans slipping from the back of her throat as she slid her hands around his muscled torso, his own vocal chords grunting quietly at the feeling of her nails on his skin, the idea that she responded to him so eagerly to his touch thrilled him entirely. A strangled gasp passed his lips when he felt pressure on his groin, the leg he had trapped found its way to the bulge growing in his own pants, a smirk crossing his lips as he pulled back from her to let her breathe.

His teeth found the junction of her neck, his lips sucking hard enough to leave dark marks while his free hand roamed freely around her body, his hands stroking her breasts, waist and navel, Rin moaning softly at his endeavors. The second hand gently took the material of her jeans and underwear off before sliding it to the foot of the bed, the woman beneath him now fully naked and gasping.

"Sessh-Sesshomaru," she managed to get out, her heaving chest marked with hickeys both old and new as the dog demon reluctantly tore himself away from her body.

"What is it?" he murmured against her alabaster flesh, lips skimming against her collar bone.

"W-won't Inu-Yasha hear us?" she asked breathlessly , the thought of what his brother would say causing her to flush even darker if that was at all possible.

The deep chuckle slipped from his throat as he hovered above her.

"Sound proof walls," he told her smirking, "the half demon won't be able to hear a thing, you can scream as loud as you want."

Rin made a small squeak of protest at his words, the squeak turning into a moan when she felt his lips capture her body once more, his tongue trailing down her torso as her hands gently weaved into his hair.

"Rin," he murmured as he pulled up to look at her, her hazed brown eyes meeting his amber ones, "I promise you, I won't let you go over something as trivial as my pride."

The young woman lay frozen for a moment, her eyes wide as tears unconsciously slipped out of them.

"What's wrong?" the demon asked worriedly, his thumb wiping the loose water that was rolling down her face.

Rin shook her head, "nothing, you just," she sniffed as she smiled up at him, "you just always know what to say to make me happy."

The dog demon smiled at her words.

"That's because," he murmured against her lips, "I want you to feel what I do around you."

"It's not hard for you," she whispered, her hands sliding from his head to his cheeks, "I just need to be with you, even for a minute."

Well...that's just gonna stop there and leave ya hangn' ^^
