Oh man this chapter. I don't know how to describe how I feel about it, maybe it's just best to just skip the pointless banter and let you read.

Have fun.

Warning: This chapter contains a little sexual interaction as well as a little language. This story is now Rated M. For a reason...

Sorry.

Okay... Now have fun!

But not too much!

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

It's dark, quiet, senseless. They're bodies are completely numb, minds clouded, not having a single sober thought to what they are doing. He holds her close, she hangs onto his neck for dear life.

He literally rips her clothing off, though she tries her best to rid of his. It didn't take him long to throw her on the bed, and pounce on his prey, pining her down with his body in dominance, and holding her wrists in restraint.

But in this moment, she was strong, breaking free from her clutches just so she can comb her tiny fingers through his long and luscious hair, desperately trying to entangle herself that much closer to him.

Their lips never part, they are so drunk in themselves, and they waste no time getting to know each other.

They get lost.

Her senses blur,

His senses heighten,

She struggles to follow command,

He punishes her.

She's feisty.

He growls her name.

"Rrrrin,"

...

"Rin-"

"NOTHING." she bounces back to the present. She looks to see the shelter, and her boss Kaede standing with a questionable look on her face. "I-I mean, what?" Memories from the night before fade, at the same time, they don't. She struggles to stand. "Yes ma'a-" she trips and falls to the ground.

She is starting to lose it... She is starting to lose control...

'Conceal... Don't feel, Rin... Control it. God, he was right... This is freaking hard.'

"My goodness child, are you alright?" she asks helping her employee up to her feet. "You have been out of it all day." Kaede shows genuine concern. "Is there something on her mind?"

Rin's eyes continue to grow. "O-oh yeah..!" she laughs dismissing the thought. "Just a..." she gulps. "A-a long night-" 'NO! Wrong words. Wrong words!'

"Aah, yes." Kaede nods. "I'll bet it was a long night, indeed."

"What?" Rin becomes nervous. What does she know?

"I saw the flyers in the neighborhood about Ah. Did you ever find her?" Kaede pats a loving hand on Rin's back.

"Oh yeah!" Rin smiles, thankful that the subject is changing. "I found her last night. Someone took her in and got a hold of me. so, you know- long night."

"Oh, good. Was she far?"

"No, no... Just... far enough..." 'What?'

"Is she home now?"

"Yes she is. Yesterday was a trying day for her. She passed out when I got her home." Rin laughs a little more wholeheartedly.

But before her nerves could really settle, in comes Sango, Kagome and her dog Koga.

Wonderful!

"Hey, Rin!" Sango says running up to the counter.

"Hey ladies," she tried to be nonchalant, not wanting to give any nervous vibe. "What brings you here?"

"Well, the twins birthday is coming up,"

"Oh my goodness it is!" Rin was so happy to hear.

"Yep, and every time they come here, they fall in love with a kitten that you have here, so I have bent my will to my children and am adopting a cat." Sango sounds so disappointed in herself.

"And I am here for Koga. He wanted to play with Ah today." Kagome smiles big and bright.

"New pets for a party, I can do. But Ah is not here today. She's grounded. Sorry, Koga."

"You grounded your dog?" Kagome quirks an eyebrow.

"Yes I did. She knew she wasn't supposed to run away but she did. There was a hole in my back yard fence, so I blocked it, and locked the doggy door shut." Rin stated in a powerful fashion. "She's exhausted anyway."

"That seems to be a little extreme since all she wanted to do was see your boyfriend-" Sango paused with a smile. "I mean HER boyfriend." both girls giggle.

"Kagome!" Rin buzzed through her teeth in anger.

"Oh, yes. That reminds me," Kagome's sarcasm was clear. "How was your ride home with Sesshomaru last night?" the woman is not very discreet.

"Oh yes, why don't you tell us?" Sango was ready to hear the gossip.

Rin's hatred could be felt a block away. "Do you want to adopt or not?"

"Oh, yes. But that can wait-"

Rin opened the door, rather harder than usual waving a hand to allow her nosy guests to enter the viewing area.

"I guess not," Sango said as they both headed for the area.

As they enter, Kagome suddenly caught a small glimpse of something rather interesting residing on Rin's neck.

She reaches for it, "well what is thi-"

*SLAP*

"Screw you," Rin says slapping her hand away, then immediately fixing her hair so no one else can see it.

Then it clicked in Kagome's head.

"Oh my God. It didn't even take you a day!" she bursts into laughter knowing exactly what that is on her neck.

"What?" Sango turns to her friends.

"Rin has a little tender spot on her neck," Kagome rose her eyebrows at the thought.

"Really, now?"

"Both of you shut the hell up!" she started to blush.

"She couldn't even wait an hour," Kagome says with a tisk.

"Well, Sesshomaru is a full demon, Kagome. Married or not, I'd tap that in a heartbeat." Sango says in brutal honesty. "I mean who could wait a whole week... unless their mate was a half demon, or something? Oh wait-"

"Shut up Sango," Kagome blurted in anger as she crossed her arms in a huff.

"Stoooooooooop!" Rin held her ears shut. "None of you know what the hell you're talking about! Now get your pet and get going!"

"Ooh, feisty thing," Sango giggles.

"Just like Sessh-"

"SHUT UP!" she walked away to go get Kaede to take care of them.

"Oh, come on Rin, don't be like that." Kagome said with care. "We are just playing with you."

"I know you are just dying to tell us what happened anyway." Sango says with the same care.

"I know I couldn't keep my secrets hidden for long." Kagome elbowed Sango playfully.

"No, I'm not." Rin didn't even look in their direction.

"Oh, come on Rin. I've been on this rollrr coaster before."

"Yeah, and I'm not stupid." Sango adds.

"NO! I am not telling you anything, and that's final!"

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

The morning was not Rin's favorite time of day. She groans in hatred for the early hours as the sun burns her eyelids from her skull. She does not want to get out of bed.

'Come on, Rin. Time to get up. Wakie Wakie...'

She wonders why her alarm didn't go off when it was supposed to. She is always so paranoid about it not going off when it should.

She turns over to see it-

She turns over to-

She turns over...

She can't turn over...

Something is blocking her.

Then out of the blue, a sudden arm that had a firm hold of her bare back had tightened its grip around her to pull her close...er.

That's different.

'Wait-who the hell's in my house?!'

She opens her tired eyes to look around the room... that's not her's.

'Where the hell am I?!'

Then suddenly she hears the smallest and most sensual sound of a purr from behind her head.

She froze in fear, eyes growing twice their size, still trying to grasp what is going on.

She's naked...

'WHAT?'

She whips her head to see who resides next to her and...

'Holy shit!'

Her jaw drops.

...

She can't speak.

...

"Morning," his voice resonated her ear drums. A deep, voluptuous, sexy voice called out to her, and she was mesmerized in an instant.

She went completely pale.

'What the fuck happened last night?'

For the first time ever, she remained speechless. She didn't have a witty one-liner, she didn't have anything insulting to say, and she didn't have a way to ruin the wonderful moment. For the first time, Sesshomaru smirked at her speechlessness. He could get used to this kind of silence from her.

She opens her mouth to speak again...

Nope.

"I am sure that you have several questions," he says as he releases his grasp on her so she can squirm away from him on the foot of the bed. He sat up, comfortably situating himself as he saw fear in her eyes as she pulled the sheet up to her neck to hide any prominent body parts. "Now would be the time to ask," he says combing his hair back.

There he is, completely nude, lower half of the body covered with his comforter. His muscular chest, amazingly fit torso, the creamy smooth-like skin that she itched to feel, those arms and those hands... Oh good Lord... 'NO! QUIT!'

She used all of her mental strength to look away from him. After that exhausted her, she tried to dream up of some kind of memory from the night before. What exactly DID happen last night?

...

'I don't fuckin' know!'

Finally, she was able to speak in a hushed tone.

"My head hurts..." she spoke groggily, holding her head in a sudden head rush. "I..." she sighs heavily. "I don't... Don't remember a thing." her voice was so quiet.

"Not surprising," he says as he suddenly takes a hold of the sheet. The sensation of her only barrier between them moving caught her off guard. He pulls her closer. "Most humans black out when they are marked by their mate." he says continuing to pull her close, knowing that she will follow the sheet. He finally became close enough to her to touch a most tender spot on her neck.

She felt his touch...

She instantly gasps at the sensation.

It made her go ballistic.

Her eyes turn dark as she instantly jumped him, shoving him down onto the bed, shoving her fingers into his long wild hair, pushing their bodies together, demanding him, and losing control in a new way to him that was not at all unpleasant.

He loved it, yes.

But...

"Rin," he managed to speak in a more serious voice. When she wouldn't listen, he growled her name again. "Rrrin..." she wouldn't listen, and he struggled to keep control of himself. But, he maintained his composure, and used his strength to shove her off of him. "No," he demanded as if he were commanding Un.

It took her a moment to snap back to reality. Her eyes turned back to their normal chestnut color... Then they bulged at what she saw.

She was pinning him down to the bed...

She wasn't controlling it...

"What the..."

She then climbs off of him in confusion, hugging her legs together after covering herself with the sheet once more.

"We will have to work on your control." he says as he starts to get out of bed.

Completely naked.

"Oh no," she covered her eyes in embarrassment. He chuckled.

"Rin. We had sex. It's a little late for blushing." he says as he finds the dress she wore completely ripped to shreds on the floor. Perhaps he, too should learn some restraint.

"Oh, don't say it like that." she groaned blushing even more. "And I don't even remember what happened last night, so forgive me if I am a little red in the face after waking up in a random-ass bed with a strange man... I'm quite new at... this!" there she is. Feisty as ever. He loves to toy with it.

"You will remember in time," he says as he tosses one of his shirts at her. She picks it up in question before she sees the shredded mess that used to be her favorite dress. She sighs trying to put it on. "And when you do, that will be a decent start to learning how to control your urges." he says getting dressed.

"What, is it going to appear to be some mental prono that get's me all hot and bothered or something?" she does not know how to put this shirt on, and it's really bugging her.

After getting a pair of black slacks on, he looks to see her getting frustrated with such a simple task as putting on a shirt and goes to help her.

"It will more than likely appear as more of a flashback," he says sitting to help her. "When it happens, you need to remain calm." he says starting to button up her shirt. She tries to shoo him away but she doesn't prevail. "It will be a good first lesson on control."

"How did we go from hating each other to... this?" Rin asked as simple curiosity.

"Have you ever witnessed a "romantic comedy"?" he sneers at the very thought of it.

"I don't really think that becoming a demons mate is the usual plot for a chick-flick." she says as he buttons the last one just above her breasts. There was a moment of subtle silence as he felt the softness of her hair. She paused for a moment wondering what exactly what he was doing. Before she knew it, he was caressing her shoulder, her side and eventually snaked his hand behind her back and pulled her close.

Then out of the blue, he starts to gently purr in her ear.

She wiggles away from him then, "Stoppit-" she was weirded out, standing to attempt to get away from him. "Why are you getting so touchy feely all the sudden?"

Standing, he towers her completely, showing his dominance in this new found relationship. As she tries to back away from him, he grasps a hold of her hand and keeps her close, whispering into her ear.

"My body and soul have been deprived from it's mate for two years." he says with a darker, more sensual voice, one that he could not control. "Knowing who your mate is, and not being able to touch..." he reaches under the shirt to feel her skin. "...is pure agony, Rin." The closer she became, the more drunk she felt. "So now this body and soul gets to play catch up." And before any of them knew it, he placed the most tender, loving kiss that she had ever experienced. It was gentle, chaste, something completely unforgettable to Rin's memory. This is something that he wanted Rin to remember, and he savored the taste of her lips.

Gently parting, he whispers once more. "Get used to it," That is all he says before leaving her to exit the room completely...

O_o

...

'Well then...'

Rin practically fell on her face, due to the fact that most of her body weight resided on him.

"We are leaving in five minutes." is all he says to shake her from her endless thoughts.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

"Omigawd, that is one of the most adorable stories that I have ever heard!" Sango praises just before sipping her lemonade on the outdoor table of a little sandwich shoppe. The story led to Rin taking her lunch break a little early with the girls, in which she doesn't even know what to do at this point. She had no intention of saying any of that, she just opened her mouth, and didn't shut up for an hour. She is so red in the face, she can't even look at the girls.

"Stop. It's embarrassing enough without you having to cutsie it up." Rin held her head in shame.

"So..." Kagome snorted, desperately trying not to laugh. "Did you have to wear that to your house?" Kagome tried to seal her lips.

"I don't wanna talk about it." Rin warned.

Then Kagome burst into practical tears she was laughing so hard.

"God, I really hate you right now," Rin groaned. Kagome tried to contain herself.

"I'm sorry... WOO!" she shouted in hilarity. "I'm sorry Rin, I've just... I've been there." Kagome lies a friendly hand on hers. "I know. It's okay."

"No. No it's not, guys... He's a complete dick-"

"No he's not... You said it yourself that, the dog park thing was a misunderstanding." Sango caught her.

"But-"

"No, you don't have an excuse, Rin. Live with it." Kagome said with truth.

"But..." she tried to think of something... "But... This is so... weird! He's my enemy one day, and the next-"

"I know, Rin." Kagome completely related.

"Do I even have a choice in this?" Rin blurted out. "What if I don't want to be with him? What if I want to be with someone else?"

"Who?" Sango asked knowing that there was no one she was interested in.

"Well... Not right now... But what about in the future-"

"Then you shouldn't have slept with him in the first place." Kagome just shrugs.

"You are NOT helping!" Rin was so frustrated.

"Rin, these were all questions that I asked myself, okay? Remember, I have been down the same road. These are things that you will just have to figure out as time goes by. And a lot of time will go by."

She was at an impasse. She was so confused and frustrated to no end. This all just came as a shock to her. Sure, Sesshomaru has known for two freaking years, but she didn't. She is still learning about what the hell a "mate" is.

It's just a lot to take in.

After Rin had a moment to breathe, Sango starts.

"So, was it good?" Sango asks quirking an eyebrow.

Rin sighed... Really, it's time to smile and enjoy something... "I'm not gonna lie, I don't know how I forgot that... wow." Rin started to let loose.

"Yeah," Kagome sat back in her seat, taking her drink with her. "I remember those days full of sweaty nights and having sex 'till dawn..."

"I don't want to hear of your sexual experiences with Inuyasha, Kagome." Rin wanted to be spared on the details.

"I'll save that for blackmail on you later. I am still finding it cute that you hated his guts a month ago and now you're sleeping with him." Kagome smiled a cheesy smile.

"I wanna see the mark." Sango suddenly says.

"No." Rin was quite stern on her answer.

"Ooh, good idea. I wanna see it too."

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Common!" Kagome begged. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

"I feel so left out of the group right now. I'm stuck with a human," Sango huffed.

"What is this, a peep show? No!" Rin would not crack.

"Aww. Be a good sport. Don't be a party pooper, Rin!" Kagome whined like any good friend would.

"Ugggghhhhhh!" Rin grunted "Fine. But don't touch it."

"Well, no duh, I'm not gonna touch it. I don't want you going insane."

Rin then pulled her hair back to the side so they could see it. "See it? Because this is a one time only show."

The two girls stared in awe at the sight of it. It looked as if she had gotten scratched and that it scarred over time. It was in the shape of a crescent moon, and the color and swelling would go down in time.

The two girls smile at each other knowingly.

"What?" Rin knew that look on their face.

"Well, Sango. It's official."

"What?"

"Looks like it, Kagome."

"What?!"

"You're pregnant, Rin."

"WHAT!"

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

I am a horrible person. Like, you have no idea!

SHIT!

Well, there you have it. Have fun thinking about that for a while.

And I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been keeping up with this story. It is truly a blessing that you are taking so much love to it as I am. Thank you so, so, very much for interacting with me and having fun with me on this interesting ride! I really love you guys, and am so blessed to have you in my life!

Okay... Imma stop before I cry.
