Chapter 20 Theories and Plans

At Sesshomaru and Rin's den

Rin was cleaning the cooking area of the main cave a week after her mating with Sesshomaru, when she heard someone calling from the main entrance of the den.

"Yes?" She asked walking over to see who was there.

Koenma and Kurama stood outside and smiled when she appeared.

"Hello Rin, how have you been doing?" Kurama asked.

"Very well thank you," Rin smiled and gestured for them to follow her inside, "Would you like some tea?"

"Is Lord Sesshomaru here?" Koenma asked hesitating at the invitation.

"Not at the moment; he's hunting. He should be back before too long though. Do you need to speak with him?" Rin walk back into the cave giving them no choice but to follow.

"Well, no, I would like to speak with you but I would not wish to intrude in your den without your mate present." Koenma said staying just in the entrance of the cave, as Rin began making tea.

"Don't worry the whole reason our din is here is so I can see my friends, what's the point if I can't invite them in when they come to visit?" Rin shooed them over to the table. "So what do you want to talk to me about?" she asked sitting across from them as the water heated.

"I'm bringing news about the tournament in demon world, and Koenma wishes to discuss the well at the Higurashi shrine." Kurama said.

"Well then let's start with the well since Sesshomaru will want to hear about the tournament when he gets here." Rin turned to Koenma, "Have you learned anything new about it?"

"Yes, it seems that it was opened with sacred energy by Sensui, a former spirit detective. He must have figured out that it could be used to get to the past but we don't know why he would want to do that and why he didn't go through once it was open. We think there might have had to have something done on both sides for it to fully open. Can you think of any similarities between to two times it opened?"

"Hmm… let my think…" Rin began poring the tea and passing it around. "The first time Aunty Kagome… actually I guess she's my sister-in-law now," Rin giggled, "anyway the first time she went through the well she was dragged down by a centipede demon. So, maybe, power on one side and someone on the other to forge the link? Kagome wasn't trying to open the well but she was right next to it, and madam centipede was in the well at the right point in the past."

"But no one was in the well in the past when Sensui was on this side trying to open it." Kurama suggested.

"And perhaps the energy stayed in the well after he gave up and left, just waiting for some one in the past to finish the connection and open the tunnel, which happened when the kids and I fell into the well." Rin finished. "But that still begs the question why would he want to go into the past?"

"Sensui was overwhelmed by guilt over all the demons he killed with out ever questioning if they were evil; as well as all the humans he saved without questioning if they were all good. He was opening a tunnel to demon world to bring demons here to judge the evil humans," Koenma said. "Perhaps he thought it would be easer to bring demons from the past then try to brake through the barrier."

"Ah, Sesshomaru is coming," Rin interrupted the conversation and smiled starting a fresh pot of tea to brew.

The two guests glanced at each other nervously before turning their attention to their tea cups.

They didn't have long to wait before Sesshomaru walked in and, giving them a brief glance, walk to Rin who was sitting by the fire preparing the tea. Kneeling down he nuzzled her cheek in greeting and placed two rabbets and a few flowers in her hands, before turning to the table and sitting across from their guests.

"Greetings, Lord Sesshomaru." Koenma said as he and Kurama bowed to their host.

"What brings you to my den?" Sesshomaru asked.

"We were discussing the well, and I bring news from Yusuke about the tournament." Kurama answered.

Sesshomaru nodded for him to continue.

"The tournament will be held in ten days. There is a stadium were the three lands meet that is the place."

Rin sat next to Sesshomaru placing a fresh cup of tea in front of him and, setting a bowl of water on the table, began trimming the flowers stems and placing the colorful blooms to float in the water. "Will you be fighting Kurama?" She asked.

"Yes, I will. So will Hiei and many others. It looks to be a great turn out with so many willing to try for the victors reword as well as all those who are just going to watch and see who the king will be." Kurama said, "Will the two of you be attending?"

"Yes." Sesshomaru stated.

Rin woke feeling gentle tugs on her hair. As she opened her eye she rolled onto her back and saw Sesshomaru sitting against the wall next to her. He was running her fingers through her long hair which was lying across his lap. She lifted her left hand to touch his face with her finger tips where he caught it and pressed a kiss to the small crescent moon that had appeared on her wrist on their wedding night.

"Morning, Love." She whispered.

"Hn." Releasing her hand and placing her long hair over her shoulder, Sesshomaru pulled Rin onto his lap and rapped his arms around her waist pulling her tight against his chest.

Rin sighed laying her head on her mates shoulder. "What time is Kurama getting here?" she asked sleepily.

"In about an hour."

Rin's eyes shot open, "What? An hour? I have to get ready!" She tried to pull away from him but couldn't move as he tightened his grip on her and pressed her head back down onto his shoulder.

"It takes you twenty minutes to get ready, we have some time." Sesshomaru said nuzzling her sleep ruffled bangs.

"This is not the morning to be selfish Sesshomaru, and I need to wash my hair so it will take longer."

"Your hair is beautiful." he said not removing his nose from her black locks.

"It will be more beautiful if I wash it." She tried. When he gave no response and showed no sign of letting her go she sighed, "I'll make you something extra special for breakfast." Bribery sometimes worked.

"I will gladly spend the extra time you would use cooking to keep you here."

Rin lifted her head and narrowed her eyes as she studied him.

Sesshomaru smirked, waiting for her next argument, but was surprised when she leaned in to press a gentle kiss to his lips, recovering quickly Sesshomaru returned the kiss. When Rin pulled back she gave him a big smile and pressed her hand together in front of her as if pleading. Sesshomaru sighed and released her. Rin gave him another quick kiss before rushing off the get ready for their return to demon world.
