Runaway Chapter 4, an inuyasha fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha. I also do not own 'Runaway' By: Groove Coverage. Or any other song I might refer to.

A/N: I'm sorry if I sounded a little... bitchy about the reviews I was receiving. I guess I was just a little upset about some things in my personal life and I was taking them out on all of you wonderful readers. I would like to thank those who are kind enough to read and review. It means a lot. Thank you very much.

As for what happens after they mate... I think I will stick with what is expected.

I think I might have gone a little OOC in this chapter. I'm sorry, but it fit with the story. Please don't flame me too much. hehe. I'll try and have him back to normal soon.

Any who...Some might be worried that Sesshomaru might go and 'demate' poor little Rin. (Thank TJcat01 for the term 'demate') I guess that's just something you will have to wait and see. I know, I can be so mean. I'm also a tease. I don't go into great detail when it coming to the lovemaking. I like to leave it open for you to allow your minds to wonder.

Well, enough ranting from me.

Happy Reading!

Rin walked a few steps behind her mate. Ever since they started their journey back to the others, he seemed to treat her as just his ward. She knew that he would not be as open as he was at the spring, but he acted as if nothing had ever happened.

She subconsciously ran her had along the left side of her neck. She could feel the slight raise in her skin. She knew that that was where her Lord had bitten her. What shocked her, was the face that there was not two holes where his fangs had entered, but a crescent moon. She did not know anything on youkai matting, but she figured that it was the same mark as on her Lord's forehead.

Rin allowed her mind to wonder once again. She did not feel any different, but she assumed that she was with child. 'He said that we would not leave until I was with pup. I guess that means I'm going to have his baby!' She was excited at the thought. To be able to have a child that was hers and his. Nothing could make her any happier then she was at that moment. Unless he would turn around and kiss her like he did the past week.

Sesshomaru growled low in the back of his throat. 'That smell...' He could tell that Rin was thinking yet again about their matting. That seemed to be the only thing she thought about. He smirked at the thought of being able to do this to her. He used all of his strength to keep his thoughts clear. 'I got what I want. Why am I allowing her to take over my mind and body?'

"M'Lord!"

Sesshomaru frowned slightly at the sight of Jaken. The imp ran over until her he a mere two feet in front of the great youkai. "I take it all is well, Jaken."

"Yes, M'Lord. Our days were uneventful." The imp looked around his Lord to the quite young women behind him and back to Sesshomaru. "Was your trip satisfactory?"

Sesshomaru just walked over to a tree on the other end of the clearing. He sat down and closed his eyes, yet not allowing sleep or his thoughts to overcome him.

Jaken turned his attention to Rin and was about to badger her about her him with their Lord, but stopped before the first word left his mouth. 'He has marked her!?' Jaken stared wide mouth at the mark on her neck.

Rin noticed that Jaken seemed to be in a haze and was concerned. "Master Jaken?"

Jaken snapped out of his trance like state and shook his head violently. "Stupid wench! Don't call me Master! You are a Lady now. You should act like it." The imp crossed his arms over his chest and walked over to where the small fire pit resided.

Later that night, Rin found it hard to sleep. Jaken and Ah-Un were asleep, she was sure, and she hoped that her Lord and mate would be well awake. She needed to be closer to him. Even if they did not dance. Just to be held in his arms or to even be able to touch him. She felt as if she was going to die if she was not closer to him.

Rin soundlessly stood and made her way over to her, what appeared, to be sleep youkai Lord and mate. She smiled to herself. 'I guess he really is asleep. I hope he is not angry in the morning. I'm sure he will understand.'

Rin sat down beside her Lord and was about to lean against his towering form when she noticed that he was glaring at her with his colder then ice eyes. "M'Lord! I'm sorry. I just wanted to be near you."

Sesshomaru knew that mates could not stand to be apart from each other, he was also feeling the distance was too great, but knew that limits needed to be set. "If you are lonely... Sleep with Ah-Un."

Rin's eyes widened in shock. 'He really does not love me.'

"Move. Now." His voice was dangerously low and colder then winter.

The next morning Rin awoke next to the sleeping form of Ah-Un. She smiled slightly, but it soon faded as she remembered her encounter the previous night. 'What can I do to make him happy? Maybe if I was more of a Lady? Master, I mean Jaken will teach me. I know he will.'

With thoughts of becoming a Lady that would make her Lord proud, Rin approached the imp that she once called Master. "Jaken. I would like for you to teach me how to be a proper Lady."

Sesshomaru was in his usual spot with his eyes closed when he heard his mate's request. He opened one eye and watched as the imp started to tell her the basics that all Ladies need to know. He also informed her of the bonds between mates.

"You are saying that I will now live the life span of a youkai?" Her eyes were wide in wonderment and excitement. "That means that I will be able to spend more him with M'Lord."

Jaken sighed. "Yes, but you don't have to call him Lord if you do not wish. He is your mate now! You can call him by name."

"Jaken."

Jaken turned to his Lord who was still sitting in the same place as before. "Y-Yes, M'Lord?"

"She is your Lady and my mate. Treat her with the same respect that you show me. I will not allow you to talk to her in that manner. She will call me Lord if she so wishes."

All four were shocked at the great youkai's words. No one more shocked then the Lord himself, but he did not show it. "Yes, M'Lord."

"Now take Ah-Un and go to the nearest village. The new Lady of the Western Lands will not be dressed in such attire."

"Yes, M'Lord!"

The imp and two-headed dragon were soon gone.

Rin thought that this was a good time to talk with her Lord. He seemed to show that he did in face care fir her. 'Why else would he talk to Jaken like that?'

Rin walked over to her mate and leaned close to his sitting form. He wanted to kiss his cold lips and taste the fire that they would bring. She slowly leaned closer and was stopped by a pair of clawed hands on her shoulder.

"Don't think about it and you wont want to do it."

Rin's eyes started to fog over as she held back her tears. Her heart was telling her that she needed to stand up for what she wanted and needed for once. Yet, her mind was still loyal to the great Lord and she wanted to do as he said.

I wanna know the structure of your heart
Why do you tear my broken soul apart.
Is it a dream or my reality ?
Love comes without a live-time warranty.

Rin looked into his icy orbs and found that she could not hold herself back anymore. "Why!? Why are you doing this? When we were alone you wanted me. I could feel it. Now you treat me like the plague." her tears were slowly streaming down her pale face, but her voice was as strong as her gaze.

The great youkai stood and glared down at his mate as he growled. "You shall not talk to this Sesshomaru in that tone! Know your place."

Rin almost stood on her toes so that she would appear closer to him in height, but knew that it would be no use. "I do know my place! It's by your side. You are my mate and I respect and love you."

Oh, oh, oh, I want to run away
You told me nothing else but lies,
I'm singing...
Oh, oh, oh, I try to run away
Cause I just want to live my life
I'm singing...
Oh, oh, oh, I want to run away
As long as you are by my side
I'm singing...
Oh, oh, oh, I try to run away
But I can't find a place to hide

"I never told you to love me and I never said that I loved you!" The Lord had lost his patience. She was causing his demon blood to boil. Yet, he was finding this new side of her was having an even greater effect on his body and mind as he pictured her under him in the moonlight in an open field.

"You chose me. We could make each other happy. Neither of us would have to be alone again. We could go up to heaven and never leave the ground. I'm yours and no one can take me away. Please, allow me to love you and make you happy." Rin had calmed down a little. She focused more on his happiness and needs.

No I'm not your f second choice
No I'm not turning down my voice
Until you understand there's nothing to command
Until you realize that we could touch the skies
Can you feel it's out of control can you feel there's nothing at all.

Sesshomaru growled once again. "This Sesshomaru needs an heir. That is all I want from you. nothing more, nothing less." He turned his back to her to show that he was done with her and her little tantrum.

This only caused her fire to be lit once again with renewed flames. "No! I refuse to believe that. If an heir were the case, you would have found a youkai onna. Everyone knows that The Great Youkai Lord of the Western lands hates human and would never mate with one. I refuse to believe you."

"Believe what you wish."

With that, she watched as he walked into the woods. Rin fell to her knees and allowed her tears to fall. "I just want to runaway, but I can't. I need to be by his side. I love him, why can't he just return my feelings?"
