~Mizuki~

The next morning I opened my eyes, to a brown eyed girl staring straight into me. I sat up quickly and looked around. Sesshomaru wasn't in my bed anymore. Boy he was quick. I looked at Rin who had a frown on her face.

"Mizuki, Sesshomaru-sama is sick." She said, pulling my arm to get me out of bed. Wow the strong prince managed to get himself sick from drinking too much huh? That's probably why he got up and went to his room. I walked down to his room and without knocking opened the door. He was lying on his stomach, holding his head. His face buried into his pillows. Rin ran over to his bed and climbed into it, she got all in his face.

"Rin… Please don't shake the bed." He said hoarsely. She moved a few strands of his hair and kissed his face.

"Sorry, Sesshomaru-sama." She said hugging his head. I walked over and sat down on his bed, his back facing me.

"Your highness, I think you should lay off drinking." I said. He turned his head slowly to face me. His eyes were dark with bags underneath. He wasn't pleased at all.

"Silence wench, what I do it my business." He said. I could smell the alcohol still on his breath…Whiskey. I narrowed my eyes. What the hell was his problem with me? I was simply hired to baby sit the ice kings daughter. I stood up and kicked the bed making him grasp the sheets tight.

"Look you hired me to watch Rin, but if this is what you meant by me watching her so you can go get wasted. Then I quit. Rin needs you here with her." I said walking to the door. I smelled the tears come to Rin's eyes, as she ran after me.

"Mizuki wait!" he called. I turned around and folded my arms. He struggled to sit up and when he finally manages to he was slouched sideways with pillows sitting him up. He laid his forehead in the palm of his hand. He was breathing heavily. I knew he had a bad hangover. "Forgive me, just please don't leave Rin." I looked over at Rin who was standing in the doors that connect their rooms holding her bunny. Her eyes red with tears. Sesshomaru looked her way and motioned her to come lay with him. She did and cuddled up in his arms she turned and looked at me. I sighed; this was going to be a very long day.

Sesshomaru spent the rest of the day, puking up his guts, so his father had to take over his duties. He had too much of a hangover and need to rest. Rin decided it was a good idea to make him a card. So we sat in her room, with her coloring utensils. On her card she had drawn a big pink heart on one side and on the other drew what looked like Sesshomaru because the person in her picture had the same markings as Sesshomaru bent over his mouth opened with something yellow coming out which I guessed was puke. This girl was something else. I smiled to myself. After she drew the picture she handed the card to me to write the words.

"Get better Prince Sesshomaru." I read out loud while writing. Then on the side, I wrote. 'Stop coming back drunk.' Rin then took my hand as we walked into Sesshomaru's room. He was bent over the edge of the bed, puking his guts out once again into a small waste basket. His hair was tied back into a ponytail to keep it from falling into his waste. I scrunched up my nose at the smell. Whiskey… yuck!

Rin walked over and gave him the card which he accepted and read. He shot a glare my way, I smirked.

"Thank you Rin, I love it." He said giving her a hug. He lifted her into his lap.

"Mizuki helped too! She wrote the words!" Rin smiled. Sesshomaru didn't bother to look up, instead he gave a short nodded. Man that bastard irritated me, he was sooo cocky! Hmph, but he's the one with the hang over. I walked back into Rin's room and cleaned up the crayons and paper, placing it back into the correct spaces on her bookshelf. Rin ran in, and tugged on my capris.

"Sesshomaru-sama wants you." She said, I was becoming irritated. Why did this dog demon feel the urge to torture me? I walked in, his eyes closed his face scrunched up he quickly bent over the waste basket and once again emptied himself.

"Mizuki, I won't drink anymore… lately I've been stressed and it helped to relieve it." He said laying his head on his hands.

"Sex was the only way? Wasn't it. That's your stress reliever?" I asked. He nodded.

"I do not wish for Rin to worry." He said. "I'm always worrying about her."

"And that's why you're stressed, because you're constantly worrying about her." I said he nodded. Sesshomaru loves Rin more than anything, but I know he was keeping her too close for his own comfort. He doesn't't know how to detach himself. "Look your highness; I think you should take a vacation away from Rin. Like a week or so without thinking about her, she'll be fine." He grunted.

"Absolutely not! I can't take off anytime soon anyway. There's a ball coming up and it's necessary I make an appearance." He said. Rin walked in and climbed in his bed, she laid down. I looked at the clock it was time for her nap anyways, I hope Sesshomaru's puking wouldn't disturb her. Sesshomaru tucked Rin in between the sheets as she looked at him for a while and finally fell asleep. He stroked her hair. "I'm never going to let anything take me away from Rin." He whispered. He looked up. "You may go." I nodded and left. I went back to my room and pulled out my phone, I had received a new text message. It from Inuyasha which I really didn't understand because we were in the same building. I was too nervous to open the one from Hiroshi so I first opened Inuyasha's text.

'Hey, my mom and dad are going to take us to go get attire for the ball, mom says you'll need something as well so you have to come. We're leaving at one.' I looked at the clock it was a half an hour before 1.

'Sure but should I wake Rin and Sesshomaru?' I texted him, within a few minutes he texted back

'Naaa, if he's better tomorrow he'll take her, if not then my mother will.' He texted back.

'Okay then!' I stuck my phone in my pocket and sat down on my bed. Sesshomaru looks like he never gets a break, from anything. Maybe I should take Rin for a week and hide her. But he'll probably go crazy. I felt bad for Sesshomaru in a way.

~Sesshomaru~

I had a terrible hangover most of it had disappeared with the whiskey that I had upchucked. I looked over at Rin, she was still sleeping peacefully. Rin was my everything, if it wasn't for Rin I wondered how I would be right now. Rin needs a mother, and that woman certainly is no mother figure. But Rin adored her, father is right. I do need to find a mate and I guess I'll find her this weekend. For now that worthless woman will do. Rin shifted next to me. I smiled at her. She was such a wonderful child.

"Rin..." I whispered before closing my eyes.

-Later-

I opened my eyes to see that it was already sunset, and Rin was still lying next to me asleep. I shook her gently as she began to open her eyes. She had a moment where I thought she would cry but she didn't. Instead she yawned and cuddled closer to me.

"Sesshomaru-sama." She giggled. I nodded. I was feeling a lot better I guess all I need was to sleep it off. Well tomorrow I had to go back to work, which I knew Rin hated. I need to spend some quality time with her.

"Rin, come let us get ready for dinner." I said standing up, I slid my slippers on to my feet and walked over to the bathroom Rin following behind me. I washed my face and then washed Rin's. After I got dressed, we both walked down to the dining room. Father and Izayoi were already sitting down; I took my place on the other side of father, across from Izayoi as Rin sat next to me. Inuyasha came and sat next to his mother. Mizuki finally came; she had a smile on her face as if she had been expecting something. I glared at her in return she just smiled back; I smelled another scent on her. A male scent…. Hiroshi's scent. My father clapped his hands; servants came rushing out with our food. As I requested I received barbequed eel.

"Sesshomaru how do you feel?" my father asked.

"Better." He replied.

"After puking up all his guts he should feel better." Inuyasha said with a mouth full of ramen noodles. I scrunched my nose up in disgust.

"Pathetic…" I mumbled. Inuyasha heard me and stood.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" he said, he wanted to jump over this table and strangle me. Weak half breed who did he think he was?

"ENOUGH! YOU TWO! Do not act out in front of Rin or Mizuki!" he said. Inuyasha took his seat. Father glared at him before glaring at me. As usual I ignored it and continued eating.

"So… how was your date with Hiroshi?" I overheard Inuyasha ask Mizuki. I looked up to see her blushing. Disgusting, why would anyone date her? I could never see myself with some lowly human as a mate, but then again I did sleep with her.

"It was...o...okay." she smiled. InuYasha laughed. For moment I felt a slight sense of jealousy building up. Didn't I say she w wasn't to see that boy? The whole dinner I kept to myself and as soon as I was finish I walked to my study to get some papers. I decided I would work in my room tonight it was much more comfortable. Rin joined me later after Mizuki had her dress for bed, she came in and laid down on my bed and turned the tv on to a cartoon. Rin snuggled up to me as I worked in my bed. Propped up against the pillows, it felt good and I felt less stressed and more relaxed. By the time I finished it was already eleven o'clock. Rin had fallen asleep at the other end of the bed. I turned her around and tucked her in next to me. As I watched her sleep I couldn't help but remember another moment of when she was a baby. This was when I first adopted her, she never wanted me to put her down.

~Flash back~

Rin's tiny hand embraced my finger as I carried her through the door into my room. She was such a small baby, but she was adorable. When I made it up to my room, I laid her down on my bed and proceeded to the bathroom. To my displeasure Rin started to cry, she moved her small legs and arms. I came back and picked her up and to my surprise she stopped. This happened everyday, the only time I could get away was if she was sleeping, but sadly she had to be sleeping in my bed or else she would start crying. IT wasn't until she got a few months older that she stopped crying and began to accept me putting her down when I needed to. I could tell from that moment she was going to be a spoiled princess.

~end of flashback~

Oh my dearest Rin, your simply my perfection. I could feel Rin kick my leg and then her arm flung backwards barely missing my face. She was my perfection when she wasn't trying to take me out. I chuckled to myself. Rin was something else, and no one was going to come between us and our special bond.
