Rin and him walked for a ways to the west it was in the western boarders but not by much, he wanted to get her to the new house as soon as he could. He didn't like to worry a lot about her, he knew she would be safe there. The mansion was on near the top of the mountain, and the closest village was at the mountain foot nearly a mile down. He picked it so she would be safe out of harm's way it was secluded and yet near a small village of humans and demons together, if she needed supplies she could go to the village for it.

He walked up the mountain with her and saw her pace slowing down more and more, he walked back to his mate who was panting quietly. Sesshomaru looked at her emotionlessly like always, but he always had something more hidden in his eyes.

Worry…

Kindness…

Happiness…

Love…?

"Rin I will carry you the rest of the way." She smiled and looked at him and kissed his lips as he picked her up bridal style, he kissed back and it was a passionate yet short lived kiss. He knew she was saying thank you and she leaned her head on his chest watching the nature and scenery pass by as he walked, it wasn't long before they reached a bunch of cherry blossom trees and a small mansion it very big. She smiled and felt so happy it would be perfect for their growing family, lots of room privacy and a beautiful garden too.

He kept walking and heard her speak "I love you and this mansion… Thank you my lord thank you so much!" She turned and threw her arms around his neck and smiled into his neck as a tear slipped from her eye "I love you too mate."

He set her down so she could look around, she grabbed his hand and slowly walked in the mansion exploring their new home. She counted a total of ten rooms it was huge, when she did live in a village it was a one room hut that had a dirt floor. There was a big kitchen, dining room, a servant bedroom/headquarters, three bedrooms, a study room, a bathroom and two spare rooms for storage and any other use they have for them. They had a large garden with a small gazebo and koi pond along with a little forest surrounding the back of the mansion that hugged a small valley to the mansion.

She smiled and noticed there were even supplies like bedding and cooking ware. She looked up at him "Say my lord?"

"Hn."

"Will Jaken live here as well?"

"Not for a while, I put him to work at the palace. I will be there perhaps for a few days at a time. However I will be no longer than four days at a time, and I will stay here as much as I can."

"O-oh…I see."

"Rin you are troubled by this."

She nodded and looked up at him "I just don't see if you are going to be there so much why we can't live there. You have saved me and protected me so many times and in even more dangerous situations than what the palace. But I love it here, and you are going to be gone and I'm going to be alone…"

"Hn."

"Well I hate being alone."

"I will hire a maid she will be company for you, as well as a mid-wife. However I must trust them completely around you." Not long after their conversation he took off to find a maid and midwife, or a woman who can be both and company for her. Rin looked at the decided to go look at the cherry blossom trees, she picked a few low ones she could reach.

She walked gracefully over to the other ones, before he had left he gave her a new yukata. She looked down at her yukata, it was a totally red yukata and white sakura blossoms on the shoulder and sleeve. It was like the colors of Sesshomaru's hiori but switched and then she had a golden orange and light yellow obi that looked like Sesshomaru's obi. Her yukata tailed behind her as a princess, she felt as Sesshomaru's mate she had to look just as good as he did. Her hair was up in fine and beautiful gold combs she had black close toed shoes and a hair pin of the Inu yokai purple crescent moon in her hair.

Rin smiled she would have a new friend to help her when he wasn't around, she went over to the koi pond and put a few cherry blossom flowers in her hair. Took a handful of them she had left and threw them in the pond watching them slowly fall and drift amongst the water, she smiled watching the koi smiling calmly underneath the water.

She heard something and smiled running to the pathway leading to her new home "Welcome ba-" She froze seeing a male inu yokai, the new comer had grey hair and ice blue eyes he had no facial markings other than a single purple stripe on each cheek on his pale skin.

"I thought I saw someone walking up here, are you living here?"

Rin felt scared she was alone and didn't know how to fight; this was most likely a villager "O-oh… um w-who are you?" He looked at her and was surprised she sounded so afraid and she smelt afraid and had the scent of flowers mixed in with another's scent, as he stared at her she took a step back. He raised his hand like he was surrendering and showing her he was no threat "Don't be afraid, I was just curious. I will leave, I'm a villager at the mountain foot my name is Tai."

She nodded and watched him leave feeling relieved she couldn't wait for Sesshomaru to get back as soon as he could.

Sesshomaru looked at the village that he knew was an elderly lady he could trust, he landed at a house near a tall red gate. His white hiori stood out and his red sakura blossoms on his shoulder and sleeve, his obi holding his two swords and his armor made him look noble and honorable and lastly his fur over his shoulder. He went to the hut and moved the screen and saw no one inside, he growled in annoyance he had been away from his mate for nearly an hour and didn't like leaving her there alone and vulnerable. He walked over to another hut that held a lot of her scent, when he saw a priestess holding a quarter demon's hand the child had black hair and puppy dog ears with golden eyes with a green hiori.

The next thing he knew he heard the girl shout out "Big brother! What are you doing here?" Sesshomaru looked at him emotionlessly at his disowned half brother's mate. She waited for a answer while the child holding her hand smiled his big smile just like his mothers who he took after "Hi."

"Keade, where is she?"

"Oh with Inuyasha in our hut." The young mother smiled timidly, most likely not sure why he had come and confused if it was for good or bad.

"I require her."

Not long after that Inuyasha walked out of the hut smiling at his wife and child, he looked at who they were next two and ran over to them. He was a protective mate and father and so when he saw them with Sesshomaru who tried several times to kill his mate he took his fighting stance in-between them "Quick Kagome get in the house!"

She walked closer to her mate and touched his back "He doesn't want to fight. He just need Keade." Inuyasha looked at her with a sarcastic look on his face as he lowed his sword on his shoulder "Oh is that all? I guess that is just fine then. NO he isn't like that! He is bastard who brings pain and death in his wake!"

Sesshomaru walked past them "I see you learned some new words congrats after two hundred and sixty years, little brother." Inuyasha glared at him and blocked his path "Are going to kill the old hag?!" Suddenly he saw the elderly woman walk out of his hut and glared "Hey run he is after you!" Keade walked up two the two fighting demons and shook her head side to side "No, I will listen. If a demon has troubles I will also help. So Lord Sesshomaru, what is the problem?"

"I need you to be a maid and mid-wife at my private estate."

"Why do you need me as a maid and mid-wife I'm sure there is much better help elsewhere. I'm a old lady and don't work as hard as a young girl." Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha who jumped up all of sudden into his brother's face "W-wait! Why do you need a mid-wife?!"

"Inuyasha I did not think I need to explain the reason for a mid-wife nor how that comes to be. I assumed since you have a child you already knew." Sesshomaru smirked at himself his insult to Inuyasha actually amused himself, he watched his brother get angry it was amusing.

"I assumed you want me even though I'm old because you trust me."

"More than the others."

"I see. Then I will go."

Within seconds he grabbed the old woman's hand and formed a orb, she agreed and he didn't want to have to deal with an angry Inuyasha. Sesshomaru flew off with the elderly miko and he made his way to his house, his paradise away from the palace. He smelt Rin's scent with a hint of fear in it and quickened his pace and then smelt another male's scent and was there like in a instant. He set the orb down in front of the mansion and he walked into the house with the elderly following quietly.

Sesshomaru searched each room until he looked at their room and saw a closet, he smelt her inside and opened the doors to the wooden closet. When he did a woman inside who looked like a beautiful human princess jumped out and hugged him with tears. Keade watched the two and saw him place his head in her neck and took a deep breath of her scent and encircled his arms around her, Keade smiled and couldn't believe he had found a human mate "You stole a princess from a distant land?"

Rin looked over at her, Keade noted the girl was so beautiful "Hello I am to be your maid and mid-wife, so I assume you are pregnant." Rin smiled as Sesshomaru let go of her, she walked over to the elderly woman and hugged her "It's so good to see you again Lady Keade."

"May I ask your name? I am your maid you don't need to address me as lady."

"Oh, Keade you remember me. My name is Rin."

"Lady Rin." Sesshomaru stated.

Keade smile and said it again "Lady Rin."

Sesshomaru looked at Rin, his eyes held something she didn't like "Rin, I must speak with you in private." Rin nodded her smile not really smiling as much as she had "Alright." Rin walked with him into the garden and she stood looking into the pond she was playing with earlier "What is it my lord."

"You needn't address me like that anymore you are my mate, I also have to take my leave. My mother requires me and is most likely going to be very upset once I do return."

"I see."

"Don't be saddened by this I will be back soon."

"Okay." He kissed her forehead and leaned his against hers, looking deep into her eyes "Rin I love you. I will not let anyone harm you, touch you, or be near you unless I say so." She nodded and walked to the area where he had landed he took off and flew in the clouds and looked down at his mate and his houses fading figures.

Rin looked at Keade and gave her a house tour, and told the old lady who was her friend what had happened in the years she hadn't been anywhere near her. Keade couldn't believe Rin was thirteen she was still a child it seemed and yet she was having her own child, she figured Rin would be married off to some human. Then again Inu Yokai are very possessive, odds were he would never let Rin go. And it seemed he never did, since she was now pregnant with his child.
