Common disclaimers on the characters Rin and Sesshomaru, who are intellectual property of the esteemed Takahashi Rumiko-san's InuYasha series. Oh and that I don't own. I'm only a poor college student after all.

Alter Ego,

By Winterwing3000

"I can't believe it!" Rin exclaimed with a furious gleam in her eyes. "That, that, that bimbo has no right to do that!"

Sesshomaru watched as his wife paced the length of the room. One hand was buried in her hair in anger while the other clenched tightly around the latest tabloid. His expression was darker than usual.

"Just because I stepped out of the lime light without any reason why, doesn't mean that she can just waltz back up there and pretend to be me! She is making a fool out of my songs! What is up with those outrageous outfits? Caementa is not some Barbie doll!" she growled before hurling the papers on the ground and stomping on them with all she was worth.

Sesshomaru wondered idly if that was how she reacted to the impersonator taking her stage, how she would react once she found out about that.

"And those videos! That little, good for nothing brat!" the former singer seethed. "I've had it with her ruining my good name."

Hm, guess like she already knew, he thought as she panted from her vigorous burst of energy.

The brunette marched over to her husband on the couch with her hands on her hips. She declared, "Sesshomaru, I am going to sue that girl out of her pants, and I don't care if you are against it! This is a matter of pride!"

"I have no intention of holding you back," he told her truthfully. He reached for her hands and pulled her gently into his lap.

As she fiddled with his silver bangs, she pouted though still irritated. "You don't seem upset about the fact that your wife's alter ego is out there being paraded as a classless porn star by some Caementa wannabe."

Sesshomaru caught one of her hands and kissed the inside of her wrist, skimming his lips along the curve of her thumb. His gold eyes flickered up to soak in her reaction. The corners of her lips twitched from the ticklish feeling though her eyes still contained some ire. He uttered lowly, "The Caementa that I know is more than a side-show whore. She is a fiery creature with endless energy and is well-loved by her fans, who can tell the difference between the fraud and you. So you need not concern yourself with such trivial matters."

"Flattering me doesn't make me want to kill her any less, love," Rin sighed appreciatively as he pressed her closer. "It is a part of me that I spent years to create."

He held back an impatient sigh. Of course she usually did not understand his hints.

"My lawyers have handled the issues and are awaiting your signatures," Sesshomaru told her while staring straight at her. "If you like, I can call them and arrange for a meeting for tomorrow afternoon to have them finished."

She gazed back in disbelief but then her dark eyes narrowed. "Are you telling me you knew about this woman masquerading about me and never told me about it?"

He shrugged and leaned back comfortable against the back of the couch. "I did not think that it was a pressing matter at the time. And now that you are with my child, you should spend less time worrying about such things."

As Rin's expressions morphed between outrage and excitation, Sesshomaru leaned his head down and pressed a kiss just above her navel. Then he waited for the onslaught, only to see her climb off his lap and sashay toward the hall. He stared patiently after her.

The soon-to-be mother turned back once and stated with a tone of finality, "I love you, Sesshomaru. But, you are sleeping on the couch tonight."

NOTES: This is Alternate Universe (AU).

They're both adults.

This is a spin-off from the chapter Caementa.

AN: This one stewed for a while in my head but I never got around to writing it. I do hope you forgive the shortness of it all. But guess what? Only one theme left! And it will be a good one, I promise!

Big thanks for all the support from my readers and reviewers! You guys are awesome!
