I do not own InuYasha (though I certainly wished I did) just the characters and the plot and, of course, the idea. Enjoy! :)

To Pochi-Pu: oh, my God, thank you for the review! I was afraid that I'd have to wait for ever and a day for one of them!

And here you go! Another chappie for you. The last one wasn't that short though. It was over 1,192 words long... so yeah. Yeah, I know. You told me once that you would and I believed you then. *smirks* Really? *laughs* Well, I'm glad I helped you out there. And yes, Shiori is alright (you find out in this chapter...sort of) which is a good thing. And yes, I really do have a ghost living in my apartment. It's following me around. *grimaces* I hate the paranormal sometimes. Not exactly interesting..more like terrifying. (^-^) But I see your point! Thanks again!

Oh and this chapter is dedicated to you!

Anyway! Onto the chapter! xD

Chapter 16

"There's not much more I can do for her, Rin-chan," Kagome said quietly after three hours of working and healing Shiori. She washed her blood soaked hands in the sink and turned back to look at her. "The rest is up to her."

Rin only nodded as she stared down at her daughter. Sesshomaru sat next to her with his suit rumpled and his hair slightly disheveled with his arm around her waist and his thumb rubbing soothing circles to keep her calm as his chest rumbled affectionately. His eyes were still red but he was currently in control. Not his inner youkai.

Inuyasha watched his older half-brother and his sister-in-law warily. Even though he and Sesshomaru got along well enough, he could only trust him aout as far as he could throw him. Pretty much not at all. So when his eyes remained red, he remained on his guard. At all times. Tsukimaru and Akiko were both passed out in the chairs they were in. The youngest out of the two was snoring softly filling in the silence of fear and worry. That, at least, made it a little easier for Inuyasha. Just a little though.

"Inuyasha," Kagome called softly from behind him. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at his mate to find her reaching out to him to take her hand. "Come on, we aren;t needed here anymore."

Rin looked up at her sister-in-law panic shining deep in her chocolate orbs as her breathing grew labored. Sesshomaru tightened his his hold on her and looked up to meet her eyes as well. "What about-"

"Don't worry," Kagome interrupted her with a kind and gentle smile. "Shiori is stable. If her condition suddenly worsens, which it won't, then call for me and I'll come running faster than my mate can keep up."

Though she didn't want them to leave, she let them hearing the Infirmary doors click shut softly behind them. Neither of her her sons of her daughter stirred as she leaned into her mate seeking the comfort only he could provide.

"Do you believe Kagome-nee-chan, Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked quietly as she rested her head against his wide shoulder.

"Hn."

She wanted to giggle as his response but couldn't. Not until Shiori opened her eyes and said something funny. Without her consent, tears pooled in her chocolate eyes and spilled onto her cheeks. The rumbling in Sesshomaru's chest grew softer, almost like a purr, as Rin quietly wept. Without leaving his embrace, Rin crawled into his lap to wrap her legs around his waist and threw her arms around his neck to pull him into a fierce kiss of need and desperation. He kissed her back hungrily missing the feel of her body against his. It'd been far too long since he tasted her lips, smelt her delicious scent of honey and lilacs, and felt her satin skin beneath his fingertips. Of their tongues dancing, their hands roaming, their hips connecting. He'd missed it all. And he was ready to admit that to her. Right here. Right now.

He groaned when she pulled back to meet his eyes with her wet ones. She smiled at him as she crawled off his lap, her eyes lighting with amusement when he growled possessively and drew her back to his lap and his lips. She pushed him back and shook her head.

"Not here," she mouthed and motioned to their two sons who feigned sleep. Sesshomaru only stared at them before meeting his mate's eyes agains fighting off a smirk of mischief. Rin smiled even bigger and shook her head again as she crawled off his lap once more and took one of his hands. She helped him up and lead him to an adjoining room closing and locking the door behind them.

Akiko and Tsukimaru opened their eyes and looked at each other in shock and disgust.

"Please tell me, Nii-sama," Akiko chocked out, "that I just imagined that intense make-out session provided by our parents."

Tsukimaru just shook his head and eyed the door their parents just locked moments ago when certain sounds reached his ears. "Unfortunately, that's a no. I think I'm gonna be sick."

"Me too," Akiko mumbled as his face went green and shared another look of disgust with his older brother.

"Yuck!"

~0~0~

Sayuri and Kaede stopped pacing long enough to hear grunts and moans coming from the Infirmary or somewhere close by. Kaede turned gree and gagged as Sayuri paled and put her hands over her sensitive ears.

"I regret ever joking about an orgy session going on in there," she groaned and Kagome and Inuyasha laughed. Kaede covered her mouth with both hands and gave Sayuri a nasty look.

"Yuck!" they both cried and gagged. Sayuri turned green before both of them ran to the nearest restroom to empty their stomachs.

A bit of humor for you guys there at the end. (^-^) So what did you guys think? Review and tell me, please?
