A/N: Sorry that the last chapter was a little confusing. I hope this one is better. I will let you know now that I'm working on finishing this one up. Maybe one more chapter. It's longer then I originally was going to make it, but I'm just not doing it justice anymore.
Thanks for all the reviews, they mean a lot.
Happy Reading!

Sesshomaru said nothing as he carried his Rin through the dense forest. Once they were far enough away from the others that he knew they would not be able to disturb them, he stopped. The forest was still dense, but there was enough room to move around and allow him to do what he needed to do.
Sesshomaru placed Rin on her feet and when she turned around to ask him what was going on, he quickly found her lips and kissed her passionately. He smirked into her sweet lips as she quickly and hungrily returned his passion.
He moved quickly, but gently, so that she was pinned against one of the nearby trees. The great Lord pulled away slightly to look at the desire filling his mate's eyes. He felt his inner youkai taking over his thoughts and his body as his eyes flickered red and he once again began his aggressive, yet gentle assault on her lips and soon her body.
:
Rin walked just behind her mate as they walked back to the camp that they had left hours ago. The sky was just starting to lighten and she knew that the others would be awaking soon. She was tired from the long sleepless night, yet still felt the gentle touches of her mate and that thought kept her spirits high and still able to walk without complaint.
Once back to the camp, Sesshomaru walked over to the tree he had sat down at the night before and watched as his little mate took place beside a sleeping Ah-Un. Just as she closed her eyes and was going to allow herself some well deserved sleep, Jaken let out a rather loud yawn alerting the others that he was now awake.
Rin's eyes snapped open and to frowned slightly. 'It looks like I will not be getting any sleep today.'
Sesshomaru kept his eyes closed, but did not allow sleep to overtake him. Instead, he listened to the sounds and movements of those around him. He could just barely hear the soft undertone of a growl as Jaken yawned louder then needed. He heard the little imp move around preparing the morning meal, while Ah-Un listened to Rin as she told the old youkai about how the next time they come across a nice flower field, she would make a wreath for each of his heads.
:
After the morning meal, the small group started to walk around the Western Lands once again. After a few short hours, the great Lord Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks and growled quietly as a clumsy Jaken ran into the back of his legs.
"You will stay here for awhile." His voice was it's usual calm and held no emotion. "I will return shortly." With that, Sesshomaru started to walk once again, but was stopped at the annoying sound behind him.
"But M'Lord!" Jaken's voice was as shrill as ever and Sesshomaru had to try not to shiver at the annoying sound.
"Do not question This Sesshomaru."
With that, the small group of three watched their Lord and Master walk away into the dense forest. Jaken coughed and turned to Rin, who was sitting on Ah-Un. "Don't wonder off, girl."
Rin smiled sweetly and jumped off of her two-headed friend. "What would M'Lord say to you speaking to his Lady in such a manner, Jaken." Rin giggled when she saw the little green imp go white for a split second and then turn back to his normal green color, only to shake with anger.
"Listen here, Girl! I will show you the respect that you deserve. As of now, you don't deserve any!"
Rin started to laugh and turned to walk into the dense forest, in the same direction that her mate had headed. After only walking a few feet, she walked into a big clearing that was filled with flowers of all sorts.
Rin's eyes grew wide at the site before her. She felt as if she could never leave. The sight and smell was taking her to her own little world. With the thought of her Lord and Love, along with the thoughts of her two friends, Rin started to pick the flowers the she would make into wreaths and other such things.
As Rin sat in the middle of the flower covered field for what felt like hours. Her smile never left her mouth. 'I love it here. I just wish that M'Lord was here with me.' The young woman let out a small sigh at the thought of her 'cold-hearted' mate. 'I'm still not sure of his feelings for me... That is... if he has any.'
Rin was so lost in her own thoughts that she never noticed the youkai that appeared behind her petite body. That was, until he ran a clawed hand gently across her back. The young Lady of the West almost jumped out of her skin, but only smiled.
"M'Lord, is that you?" The young girl was so excited to see her lover that when she turned and was met with a pair of black, heartless eyes, she screamed and tried to move as far away as she could from the strange youkai before her.
"My, what do we have here?" His voice was low and cold. He turned his head slightly to the heavens above and inhaled deeply. "I see that our Great Lord Sesshomaru is following in his father's steps. I guess that I should be on my knees, since you are My Lady." The youkai took a step closer and smelled the air once again. "And also a pup?" A wicked smile creped across his twisted face. "I guess that today is not as bad as I once thought it would be."
Rin tried to keep her body from shaking. 'Where are you M'Lord?' "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
The youkai's smile only grew at the smell of her fear. "I want revenge. Your mate slaughtered my clan only hours ago. Now, I shall do the same to you. My Lady."
Rin watched in horror as the youkai raised his clawed hand and was ready to strike her. She held her breath and closed her eyes. 'Please, M'Lord! Save me and our child!'
Rin heard a grunt and then a loud thud. She slowly opened her tear-filled eyes to see her attacker, lifeless on the ground before her. The young woman slowly raised her head and saw her Love walking towards her. She could not help herself, she just had to run to him, even if he was to push her away, she needed to be close to him.
Sesshomaru stopped his slow pace towards his mate when he saw her stand and run towards him. At first, he did nothing when she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head into his chest. He could smell the saltiness of her tears. That was all it took for him to place his arms around her and lean down so that his face was in the crook of her neck. He nuzzled the mark that he had given her and inhaled her scent to make sure that she and his heir were not harmed while he was gone.
The Lord and Lady of the Western Lands stood like that while the sky become darker and the sun begin to set. If one was to witness such an event, one would think that The almighty Sesshomaru was in love with the human girl that he had taken as his mate and lover.
