Rin moaned in pain as another needle was jabbed in her neck.

"Hold still." The man ordered. "Moving will only make it worst." She groaned, as he pulled it out, walking away, uncaring about the blood now running down her neck. She didn't know how much more she could put up with it.

"Take her back to the cell. I won't need her for a few days."

Someone started unstrapping her and grabbed her arm. Dragging her along the hall to the dark hole they called her cell where she was thrown through the doorway to land on the dirty floor.

"You think you have the worst of it.' A female sighed. "You just have to get jabbed for the extracting. I have to deal with the transfer and going through testing it."

Rin whimpered, but said nothing as she huddled against the back stone wall.

"How boss thinks you're the one, I don't know." The female scoffed. "You're a weak human. He would never want you as a mate…

…}{…

Rin sat up breathing hard. She found herself back in her room, her housecoat replaced by a nightgown. She took a deep breath, pushing any remnants of the nightmare, and stood from the bed. Quietly, she made her way out to the living room to find the mess had been cleaned up and all the furniture replaced. She would have thought it all a bad dream, if she hadn't raised a hand to her neck to still find the bite mark was there.

A noise behind her caused her to turn around to find Mr. Taisho standing in the kitchen cooking. He smiled at her, holding out a cup of tea. "How you feeling?"

She took the cup and stared at it, not wanting to look him in the eye. She had slept with his son and she had no excuse. "Fine."

"That's good. I made you something to eat." He set a plate in front of her.

She frowned at the steaming food; wishing he would stop this being nice thing. "Mr. Taisho, ummm…where's your…"

"He left, a while ago." He set to work cleaning up. "Don't worry, he'll be back."

She sighed, not sure why she was upset to hear he had left. "I'm sorry."

"For what, Rin?"

She looked at him, confused. "I…" She looked back down at her plate. "I slept with him."

He chuckled. "I figured that when he came storming out of your room dressed in only his boxers."

Rin blushed, "I didn't know he was…I thought it was you at the door and then he just…"

"Rin you don't have to explain anything." Taisho answered. "It is I who should be explaining things to you." He sat down beside her. "The only way to say it is straight out. You are my son's mate."

Rin stared at him. "I'm who's what?"

"Sesshomaru, you're his mate." Taisho repeated. "I knew the first time I met you. His scent was mixed with yours."

She shook her head, "No, that's, you told me you were…your wife…oh." She groaned, holding her head.

"I know I told you that you reminded me of my wife and you do; so warm and kind, a smile brighter than the sun itself." Taisho answered. "But I was also trying to warm Sesshomaru up to you."

She frowned at him.

He smiled weakly. "My son won't be the easiest to live with. He doesn't like humans much." He explained.

"Then how can I be…"

"A demon's inner beast doesn't care if its mate is human, half-breed or full blood." He went on. "But should a demon refuse his mate, it could cause the beast to become…well, it could turn ugly. Much like what you saw earlier."

"I don't understand."

Taisho smiled. "He thought you and I were dating and with his beast awaking up, it took over when it finally saw you in person. It had a chance to make you his and it took it, knowing how Sesshomaru would fight it. It wasn't going to risk losing you; it marked you as his." He pointed to the mark on her neck.

Rin couldn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. She felt sick, her head was pounding and the smell of the food was making her want to puke. "I don't feel so good." She raced off, leaving Taisho to sigh and start to clean up her plate wondering if he could remember the tea his wife had used while she was pregnant with Inuyasha.

…}{…

Sesshomaru threw the file down, growling as his beast snapped at him. It wanted him to go back to the girl.

"Rin!"

He growled again, rubbing his face. It was also getting on his nerve that thing wanted him to call her by her name. "Shut up!"

"They say talking to your self is the first sign of being crazy."

He looked at his half-brother strolling into his office, a smirk gracing his face. "What do you want, mutt?"

He chuckled, throwing himself into a chair. "Just wondering where you've been all day. We were to go see dad this afternoon, remember?"

"I've already seen him." He groaned, remembering what had happened when he had seen him.

"Oh? How did it go?"

Sesshomaru frowned, keeping his back towards him. "What do you know of Naraku?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "He's an ass, been a pain to the company and the family for years, why? What does he have to do with…"

"He came by today and mentioned he knew…" He took a deep breathe. "the girl." He cringed as his beast snapped at him. "He said he took her in when she was living on the street."

Inuyasha frowned. "Naraku told you this and you believed him."

Sesshomaru fisted his hand, breaking the pen he had been holding. "He said she was a sweet girl." He growled, remembering the words once more.

Inuyasha stood slowly, "Take it easy, man." He reached for his phone only to have to duck as Sesshomaru picked up his chair and threw it. "Hey, watched it."

Sesshomaru growled, but remained still. "Just find out what you can about those missing years after she left the foster home."

Inuyasha sighed. "Alright, I will." He left, shutting the door behind him. "Damn father, what are you doing to him?"

Here's another Chapter. So far, a little more about Rin's dark past, Taisho has told her the truth, Sesshomaru is torn, his beast is giving him a headache, me too, but hell, it's for you readers. I am sorry about last chapter, but I'm back and on the move once more.

Review Corner!

ShadowXMoonlight: I'm glad.

Last post: Thank you.

Leonhart9: Yes, Taisho knocked him out. And Rin was on the street a few weeks before Naraku showed up and then she was with him for years. The time for Sesshomaru and Rin to talk is coming, but first…nope not going to say.

Last post: He wasn't, but he was. It's hard to explain. His beast can only make him do what he wants, but refuses to do it. He won't mate a human because he hates them, but his mate is human, means he loves her, but refuses to admit it. Am I making sense?

Taraah36: Do you really want Sesshomaru to stop Naraku before he has a chance to really save Rin?

Last post: Why you sad? And don't worry, Sesshomaru's beast won't allow him to be too nasty to her. We'll get the full story about Rin's dark past soon.

Lady Shenzuki: Headaches are going to be the least of his problem.

Last post: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't hurt me, please.

Blackacess: Poor Rin? And you laugh, am I crazy, or are you?

PAMILA DE CASTRO:Obrigado , eu obtive esse direito ?

Koko81: Thank you

Jj: Yeah, pretty much.

Rill: Coming soon…

Carmen: Rin will never go back to Naraku, or will she?
