~Sesshomaru~

I went to go see about Rin and how she was doing. I had Izayoi put her down for a nap two hours ago. I cracked open the door to her room and peeked in. It was dark but I could see a small figure on the bed meaning Rin was still sleeping. I closed the door slowly. Rin was always peaceful when she slept; to be honest I loved it better when she was sleeping that meant more quality time to myself. I'd wake her up in a little while I know if I let her sleep too long she won't want to go to bed tonight and I would have to stay up with her.

"Sesshomaru-sama" A small voice called. I turned around to see Rin standing in front of her door rubbing her eyes and holding her bunny. She yawned I walked over to her and picked her. She laid her head on my shoulder.

"You have a pleasant nap?" I asked. She made a grunting noise, putting her arm around my head as if she was hugging it. We walked down to my room I was still carrying Rin; I laid her down on my bed as she snuggled into the covers and continued her nap. As for myself I went to the bathroom to take a warm shower.

But before I could there was a knock on the door. This irritated me when would I be able to get some alone time?

"Come in." I sighed. My father entered with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Sesshomaru I wanted to let you know that next weekend is the Annual Spring Ball." He said. I nodded.

"I think this is a good chance for you to get to know some women, and probably find a mate." He said. Father has always tried to convince me to find mate. Before Rin came into my life I didn't care about any female but when Rin came she showed me so much and to let someone else come into her life was something I couldn't do. "Give it a try Sesshomaru." My father left. I continued to the bathroom and took a long shower, trying to sort all my thoughts out. To bring another woman into Rin's life? I know Rin wouldn't have a problem with it but I'm afraid of someone hurting her. What should I do? I finished with my shower and stepped out. Placing my robe on, I walked back into my room, Rin still lying on my bed sleeping. I sat down and stroked her hair before kissing her cheek and walking over to the closet. I picked out a white polo and some slacks. After getting dressed I felt it was time for Rin to get up, slowly I shook her as she slowly opened her brown eyes to me.

"Rin nap time is over." I whispered. She started to whine; I picked her up and walked out the room making my way down stairs to the dining room. Rin will wake up if she had something to eat. I sat her down in my father chair which was at the head. She was slowly trying to wake up; she was bending over her lids slightly closed. I held her head up under the chin so she wouldn't strain her neck.

"Ryoku!" I called. He rushed out the kitchen and stood in front of me.

"Yes sir!?" he said in a military tone.

"Fix Rin a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." I ordered. He nodded and ran back into the kitchen. Under five minutes he had brought Rin her sandwich. I handed it to her she began to take little bites until she was finally awake to finish the rest.

"That was yummy." She giggled. I placed her down and she ran off. I followed after her. "Mizuki!" she screamed running into her arms. The look in her eyes I could see she was still uneasy; she grabbed her head and fell to her knees. Rin embraced her with a big hug. "Is Mizuki okay?" she asked. Mizuki smiled and shook her head.

"I'm fine my head still hurts but I'll be okay. I need to get going." She said standing up. I walked in her way.

"Tonight I request you spend the night. You are not well enough to go home." I said. She looked at me with anger in her eyes.

"I'M PERFECTLY FINE! SEE!" she held out her arms. I lifted her bridal style into my arms. She tried to release herself from me but it didn't work so well. I carried her back into the room I had put her in the first time. Rin following close behind. I laid her down on the bed she stared at me for a while waiting to see what I might do. She stood up but I pushed her back down she continued to do this for a while.

"Fine! I'll stay!" she growled. I smirked. Rin was excited she ran over and hugged my leg and Mizuki's leg. Mizuki patted her on the head. Rin really adores Mizuki I don't know why. Maybe….. No Sesshomaru you barely know this woman how do you know she can be trusted when you're not around?

"Mizuki, would you consider being Rin's nanny and teacher?" I asked. Her eyes widened at the request.

"I don't have that kind of experience and if I did what about my job at the dance studio?" she asked.

"You would stay here in the palace; I will cover all of your necessities." I replied. She was quiet for a while.

"Um sure I guess. But will I be able to still go out?" she asked. "I mean when I don't have to watch Rin that is?" I guess she still wanted to have a social life. I nodded.

"Okay then I'll be Rin's nanny and teacher."

"This will be your room, I will send somebody to go get your clothes and stuff later." I said. She shook her head.

"No. No that's fine I can do that when I'm feeling better!" she stuttered. Rin was jumping up and down in excitement.

"Well Rin, meet your new nanny. She will be staying with us from now on and she will teach you ballet." Rin hugged my legs.

"Rin love Sesshomaru-sama!" She squealed.

"This Sesshomaru loves you."
