Ha Ha! Got this one updated! Finally!

So... enjoy ^^

Teeth ground together in frustration at a clawed hand had dug through his white hair, his body bent over his economics work, InuYasha looking around at the spotless living room, his amber eyes narrowing as he heard the soft feet patter around his brother's study, a quiet giggling from her lips made their actions incredibly apparent to the half-demon. It had been ten days since he and Kagome had switched out the pills and, as the young woman had suggested, Rin had apparently not gone on them and wouldn't go on them until her next cycle. In that time, however, his brother's actions had not changed since the younger's arrival; the demon still smiled comfortably around her, kissed her, teased her, and continually claimed to love her.

His cellphone buzzed beside him, the half-demon glancing at the text message before he typed back his swift response to Kagome, him and the young woman having kept in contact through the week and a half, InuYasha keeping her updated on the things he saw as important.

"Se-Sesshomaru!"

The half-demon grumbled as he head her squeal, every part of him telling himself that his elder brother knew he could hear them and was only do it to further annoy his little brother, the cell phone buzzing a second time offering him a thankful distraction.

Nothing? Are you sure

100% InuYasha responded, Kagome writing back just as quickly.

Damn, can you think of anything new?

For the last time, NO! Not in the ten days you've asked me have I thought of any other way of getting her to see him for the cold-hearted bastard that he is!

Grrr.

Couldn't you talk it out with her?

She won't listen to me! What about you?

Yeah, right! Sesshomaru barely listens to our father-

Their father…

A slow smile spread across his lips as an idea suddenly struck him, the message erased as a new one was typed out and sent.

Actually, I have a great idea!

"Se-Sesshomaru!" Rin squealed as the demon buried his nose into the crook of her neck, "st-stop! Th-that tickles!"

"Hm," the demon hummed against her skin, "why should I stop?"

"Be-Because your little brother can hear us," the young woman giggled as her hands covered the one that was around her slim waist.

"So?"

"That's not nice!" she told, the demon chuckling slightly at her attempt at pouting though her laughter.

"Who ever said I was nice?" Sesshomaru pointed out as he held her closer to his body.

"I did," Rin smiled at him, her lover finally relinquishing her neck from his attacks, his softened amber eyes looking down at her, her delicate fingers touching his marked cheek, "I think you're kind, to me at least."

Sesshomaru smiled softly before he pressed his lips to hers, a small groan slipping from the back of his throat.

"I wish I could take you now," he murmured as he returned to her smooth flesh.

"Is that all you think about?" she teased softly, "sex?"

"No," Sesshomaru grinned up at her, "you are all I think about, more often than not it's when you're in my bed, moaning and moving in pleasure."

"You're terrible," Rin giggled as she playfully smacked his arm, the demon chuckling along with her.

"I thought I was nice," the demon teased.

"Well, now you're terrible," she simpered before she kissed him, her smile ever-radiant, "and I should let you get back to work."

"No, perhaps you should stay here," Sesshomaru murmured, his fingers sliding to the hem of her jeans, "what's another two days?"

"Two arms, two legs, a head and a small torso," Rin told him softly, her hands stroking his cheek, "besides, I'm probably bothering you."

"I am hardly irritated by your distraction and you could never be a bother to me," the demon whispered, his amber eyes soft, "besides," his hand slipped under her white blouse, "there's nothing wrong with you carrying my child; nothing make me happier."

"There isn't," the young woman murmured, a kind smile on her lips, "but… I just don't want people thinking that you're with me because I'm carrying your baby, that I'd be only pregnant to keep you with me or that I'm trying to get money out of you or-"

"Rin," Sesshomaru interrupted softly, his eyes looking into her dark brown irises, "I've told you countless times now, so long as you are with me, I don't care what people think of me."

Brown eyes simply smiled at him as the young woman blushed furiously, his lips meeting hers chastely.

"Now, back to the matter of you distracting me from my work-"

A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts, the demon looking up from the young woman to the door, his jaw tightening as he maneuvered around Rin to answer the rap at the door.

"Hey, bro," his brother's voice halted his footsteps, "don't worry about getting the door, I wanna tell you that dad's coming over tomorrow to pick me up. Kay, thanks, bye!"

"Wait, InuYasha!"

The half-demon turned as his brother wrenched open the door, the demon's eyes narrowing as he looked at his brother.

"What do you mean, 'father's coming over tomorrow?'"

"Just what I said," InuYasha told him, his shoulder shrugging, "I asked dad if he wanted to catch up over lunch tomorrow and he said yes-well… actually, he sent me this twenty page reply about how much of a young adult I was becoming, how he missed me-"

"InuYasha…"

"Right, anyway, he said he'd love too and he agreed to pick me up."

"What about your car?" Sesshomaru pressed, "can't you just meet him there?"

"Don't see the point of taking two cars," the half-demon grinned as he looked around at Rin who was watching their conversation, "why? What's the problem of dad coming over here? Not hiding anything, are you?"

"Of course not!" the demon snapped, "I should just be informed about what's going in my house!"

"Well, now you're informed," InuYasha told him smartly as he turned down the hall to slip down the stairs, a grin on his face as his brother practically fumed.

"Sesshomaru?"

The demon turned to look at the young woman that touched his arm, her throat swallowing thickly.

"If-If you were trying to convince your brother that I'm not just a toy… that wasn't the most convincing thing you could have said."

"I know," he sighed heavily, the bridge of his nose pinched between his thumb and forefinger, "I know and I didn't mean for things to sound that way I swear but…."

"But, what?"

"It's just that I… wasn't so accepting of my step mother in my youth so I don't know what my father would say if he knew about you and me."

"Why would he say anything bad?"

"He might be under the same impression InuYasha is," Sesshomaru told her, "that this is all some sort of scam I'm pulling and just stringing you along for the ride."

"He's your father," Rin murmured softly, "he should be more understanding than your half-brother, shouldn't he?"

"After the way I've treated Izayoi, I don't know," the demon sighed, his amber eyes looking to hers, "I just don't know."

"At least your headaches are gone," the young woman smiled slightly, the demon slipping out a soft chuckle, "that's one less thing you'll have to deal with."

"There's that," Sesshomaru agreed smiling, "at least there's that."

A sleek silver car pulled into the driveway of Sesshomaru's manor an hour earlier than expected, the elder dog demon alighting from the vehicle, his eyes turned interestedly up at his eldest son's home, a small smile gracing his lips as the door was shut and locked behind him, his feet taking him across the gravel to the double doors, seemingly more inviting than when he had first greeted his eldest son almost a year ago. The door was flung open before he had barely a chance to knock, InuYasha practically beaming as greeted his father.

"Hey dad! You're early?"

"I hope it's okay," the demon chuckled at the younger's enthusiasm, a small part of him curious as to why it was so, "I had more free time than I thought so I figured I might as well get to spend time with both my sons."

"Yeah, that's great dad!" the half-demon vigorously nodded standing from the door, "come on in!"

His father laughed lightly as he stepped inside, the door swiftly shutting behind him as InuYasha practically tore up the stairs, shouting at the top of his lungs, "hey Sesshomaru! Dad's here! Why don't you guys come down?"

An eyebrow arched at the younger's energetic attitude, he had never been this happy to see his father since he was a six year-old, the half-demon bounding back almost as quickly as he left.

"InuYasha," the demon started, his voice controlled as he looked at his youngest son, "care to tell me just what you're planning?"

"I'm not planning anything" InuYasha defended, his eyes trying to feign innocence which his father was clearly not buying.

"You seem to forget, son," his father murmured lowly as he pulled the younger into him, "that as a dog demon, I can smell bull shit from a hundred kilometers away and you reek."

"What!? How can you-"

"You've never been this excited to see me since you were in elementary school and you've only ever called your brother to see me when you were barely out of diapers," amber eyes narrowed slightly while his son appeared more nervous, the sound small footsteps caching his attention before he could finish his sentence, his jaw slacking slightly as his eyes widened.

"Hello," the young woman murmured softly, her smile timid, the demon looking over her petite form in amazement, "you must be InuTaisho, Sesshomaru's father."

"Yes, I am," the dog demon nodded, his eyes watching the young woman approached him, "but I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage; you know my name, but I don't know yours or what you're doing here to be honest."

"My name is Rin," she smiled kindly, her delicate hand extended to him, "I'm uh… I'm Sesshomaru's girlfriend."

"Oh!" InuTaisho's eyebrows raised dramatically at her statement, her pale cheeks flushing a light red, his mouth hanging open slightly before he became aware that he might be making her uncomfortable. "Forgive me," he smiled lightly as he bent over to kiss her hand, the young woman still flushing furiously at the action, "it just… this is…"

"A surprise?" Rin finished, the demon nodding with a smile, "I can… sort of understand why."

"Which would be?"

"Among many things, my heritage," the young woman murmured, "I've come to the understanding that your eldest isn't… normally with human women."

"Ah," InuTaisho nodded once more, "that may be a bit of an understatement," his eyes travelled over her form without a hint of lechery or malice, Rin noting where her lover got his soft amber eyes and stature, though the rest of his father looked more like InuYasha than Sesshomaru.

"Are you two heading off?" Rin asked politely, "I think Sesshomaru should be done with his paperwork quickly if you're okay with waiting for a few."

"Our reservation isn't for another two hours at least," the demon told her, "I thought I'd come by and see Sesshomaru too, but if I'm imposing-"

"Of course not father."

All three eyes turned to the stairs to see Sesshomaru descend, his eyes looking from his father to his girlfriend, his body coming to stand beside Rin's.

"It's good to see you Sesshomaru," his father smiled, surprised to see a ghost of one returned to him, "how have you been?"

"Good," he replied truthfully, his amber eyes glanced to Rin, "better."

"That's good to hear," the demon looked at both of them before risking a glance to his youngest, Rin piping up.

"If you're going to be here for a while, would you like to have some tea with us in the garden? It's a warm day."

"That sounds great!" InuYasha finally burst out, glancing back to his father, "whaddya say dad?"

"That sounds wonderful," InuTaisho smiled softly, his arm sliding around his youngest son's shoulders, "the two of us will meet you out there."

Rin nodded and walked with Sesshomaru to the kitchen's, InuTaisho's smile lingering until they slipped through the doors, his eyes glaring at his youngest son, his hand gripping tightly on the shoulder.

"So now I understand why you suddenly thought to invite me for lunch and why I had to pick you up," his amber eyes narrowed dangerously, "InuYasha-"

"He didn't tell you about her," the half-demon defended, "doesn't that say something?!"

"It says he didn't know how to tell me," InuTaisho told him, "your brother rarely does anything without assurance."

"But-"

"He took you in when you needed help," his father pointed out, "without asking for anything or a threat from me, that tells me he's changed and now I know why," his head gestured to the kitchen door, "she seems like such kind young woman and he seems genuine."

"Seems-"

"And if you do anything to try and mess with it," the demon leaned in, "you will not only have your brother to deal with, but myself as well."

"You just met her-"

"And I would like to believe that I am a very good judge of character," InuTaisho finished, pushing his son towards the glass doors, "now, let's have a nice midmorning tea with no incidences, aright?"

"I'm sorry about that."

The young woman turned from the boiling kettle to look at her lover, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

"It's alright," she murmured, "it's not your fault anyway."

"Still-"

"It's okay," Rin turned to him and smiled softly, "your father seems like a nice man."

"He is," Sesshomaru agreed, "I sometimes wish I took after him."

"I think you do," the young woman smiled, "you're kind like he is."

The demon snorted softly, his melted honey eyes meeting her chocolate ones, the other's faltering slightly.

"Hey," Sesshomaru called to her, his feet taking him to her side, his arms wrapping around her slim waist, "what's wrong?"

"I just don't know," Rin sighed, her hand to her forehead and she rested her head in his chest, the warmth of his arms surrounding her comforting.

"Don't worry," Sesshomaru murmured, his lips to her hair, "Rin, don't worry-"

"But what if they find out?" she asked him, her voice watery and her eyes looking up at him flecked with pain, "what if-"

"If they find out," the demon told her calmly, "then I'll still love you-"

"But-"

"Rin," Sesshomaru interrupted, his hand brushing the soft flesh of her cheek, "it's fine! I don't care about what they think so long as I still have you."

"Thank you," Rin sighed after a minute, her head resting against his chest once more, "I just… don't want you to be humiliated about dating someone who was your maid."

"I never could-"

"You were his maid?!"

Both heads turned to the sound of the voice, Rin's eyes widening in terror while her heart felt frozen in fear at the sight of InuYasha's face, the door still open as he stared open-mouthed at the two of them, his own amber eyes wide in shock before his lips curled upwards and he burst out into loud and obnoxious laughter.

AN - Thank you for all the well wishes guys, they were really heart warming ^^
