A/N: I must say... I'm not too happy with the review/hits ratio. I hate that it has come to this, but I will not continue if I don't get reviews. If I get at least one review, I will write another chapter, but the more reviews I get, the faster the chapters come. Thanks again to those who do take the time to review. Oh, and the song will be put into the story very soon. I'm just waiting for the right time. Thanks again for reading.

Happy Reading!

Rin was in awe. The hot spring that her Lord led her to, was almost just like the last. The one thing that made this spring more beautiful, was the flowers. There were flowers everywhere.

Rin was so excited, that she could not help herself. She ran past her Lord and soon to be mate, just so she could smell all the wonderful smells that nature had to give her.

She felt as if she was the only person in the world.

She loved it.

Then hated it.

She did not want to be the only one to live in this heaven. She wanted to be here with her Lord and protector. She spun around and saw that he was walking towards her and she greeted him with a smile. "M'Lord, this place is wonderful. Thank you for bringing me here."

Sesshomaru held back the smirk that dared to play on his lips. 'If she is this much pleasure now, just wait until later tonight.' He walked as if he was floating on air. His large frame dwarfed her petite one. He placed a clawed hand under her chin and held her face so that their eyes could meet. "You are mine."

With that being said, Sesshomaru lowered his cold lips onto her warm ones. The kiss was gentle, yet held a fire that caused Rin's knees to buckle under her. When Sesshomaru noticed this, he smirked and wrapped his unused arm around her waist and held her close.

The kiss deepened and he could hear her small moans of pleaser. He was thrilled that she responded this way to just a kiss and could not wait to see what his touch could do.

Rin's mind was clear, all but one thought. His' words kept running through her mind. 'You are mine.' Her heart melted. She was not sure if he truly just wanted her to give him a pup or if there was another reason to why he had said such a thing. Either way, she did not care. The only thing she wanted was to be here in his arms, forever.

As if he knew her thoughts and wanted to tease her, he pulled away. "You please this Sesshomaru."

:

When Rin awoke the next day, the sun was high in the sky. She knew that half the day had already passed her by. "Why did I sleep so late?" She asked herself as images passed through her mind: his soft hands, his cold kisses that soon turned into fire, his words that were few and far between and... his eyes.

Rin felt her body grow warm. His eyes will forever be burned into her mind. She never thought that the cold amber pool could warm so much. The emotions she knew he was trying to hide and felling miserable. The one thing that she remembered most, was that his eyes flashed red. At first, she thought that she had displeased her Lord. His eyes only turned red when he was in a furry and his demon instincts took over his logical thought.

Then he bit her.

The pain was sharp and fearful, but as quick as it came, it left and was replaced with the most wonderful feeling of pleaser. Rin felt like she was going to turn into flames as her mind went over last night's events. She also remembered that they did not part from their intimate dance until the sky started to lighten and the sun started to rise.

Sesshomaru had been sitting under a nearby tree. He thought many times to wake his mate so that he could take her yet again, but stopped himself. He wondered why he would have such thought. 'She is already with pup. I could smell it not too long after she fell asleep.' The great youkai Lord frowned slightly and closed his eyes. He willed himself not to think about last night's previous events, and found that he was succeeding.

After a few hours of controlling his thought, the Lord began to smell the heavenly sent that Rin had given off all of the previous night. He held back a growl and allowed the burning sensation to engulf his whole being. He felt like he wanted to roar up to the heavens, but held it in. Sesshomaru felt that he had to get his mind to stop playing tricks on him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that Rin was awake.

Her back was to him, but he could tell that she was lost in her thoughts. He could also tell that his mind was not playing tricks on him. The divine scent was coming from his mate. 'She must be thinking about what happened.' The youkai Lord could not hold back the smirk that played on his lips. He loved the idea that she was his. He had her body, mind and heart.

Sesshomaru felt that the distance between them was too much.

The youkai Lord stood and walked soundlessly over to his mate. He bent down and picked her up bridal style and smirked at the gasp of surprise and then her sudden spike in arousal.

He walked over to the hot spring. Once they were in the hot water, he let her down so that she was standing facing him. He slowly began to undress her and then himself. He looked at her and his eyes flashed red. He quickly closed them and slowed his breathing. He did not want to loose control. She was with pup. He did not need to give into these urges.

Rin could tell that her Lord and mate was holding back his emotions and instincts. She figured that he did not want to force her into anything or did not want to hurt her. She did not want him to hold back when it came to her. She knew that he would never hurt her or cause her pain.

She closed the small gap between their exposed bodies. She placed her small hands on his broad chest and laid her head against his warm skin. She did not look up into his eyes, yet she tried to get her point across in words. "I'm yours, M'Lord. Do with me as you will."

Sesshomaru was less then shocked at what she said. He knew what she had to be thinking. She had been at his side for years and he knew what she meant. He looked down and saw that she was not looking at him.

He growled.

He placed one arm around her small frame and he used his other hand to move her to face him. "As you wish."

Each day seemed to pass just as the last. They seemed to fall into a routine. Rin would wake up late because they danced all night long. They would spend the first few hours when she awoke in the spring. Rin would eat a meal. Sesshomaru would watch her every move. Rin would play in the flowers. They would spend some more time in the spring and then would dance the dance that called to the both of them like a moth to a flame.

However, this day would be different. When Rin awoke from her well deserved rest, her Lord instructed her to eat her meal and then bathe. "We will be going back to the others."

Sesshomaru could feel the disappointment that she would no longer be with him... here. He could also tell that she was happy to be able to see her friends again. Sesshomaru, however, knew that her happiness would not last for long.

Once they returned to the others, things would be back to the way they once were.
