Hey everyone! I hope you're enjoying the story so far. I know it's kinda boring with all of the small introductions and you've probably read others where the setting is somewhat similar but I promise that it will get much more interesting after this chapter. I've basically made an outline of my story and finished it in my head but now all I have to do is put it together and write it:-)

Dawn of Demons

Chapter 5

One Surprise After Another

Sesshomaru was relaxing in his private hot spring after the chaotic dinner. Takeshi has always been that way but he didn't appreciate him involving Rin in his daily mischief. However he was quite amused by Rin's reaction and slightly irritated by what she said for some reason. Sure he would never get involve with Rin in any way since she is a lowly human but it bothered him that she said it anyways.

He went under water for what seem like forever. Meanwhile Rin was able to slip into the hot spring undetected. When he finally came back up, he saw a silhouette approach around the screen and before was Rin, completely naked. His eyes slightly widen before going back to his emotionless stare at her gorgeous perfectly sculpted body. She was watching her step at that moment but when she lifted her head up, her eyes locked into Sesshomaru's. Her eyes widen dramatically in fear and shock. What happened next really gave Sesshomaru a headache. Rin shrieked out a deafening "Kyaahh!"

She ran back behind the screen, grabbed her kimono and loosely wrapped it around herself, and bolted out of Sesshomaru's private hot spring.

Sesshomaru just sat there thinking about what he just saw. Her skin was flawless and smooth, her stomach was flat, her arms and legs were tone, and in between them were curt little midnight curls. Her breasts were full and perfectly rounded showing that they were meant for nursing. "It could probably fit into my hand perfectly-" he stopped and immediately banished his thoughts. He was shocked he had even thought of it. He got up, wrapped his bath robe around and went to his chambers.

Rin on the other hand was trying to run back to her room as quickly as possible. When she finally found her room, she yanked it open and slammed it shut. She flopped onto her bed and cried her eyes out due to the embarrassment.

Ten minutes later, Nina came back into the room telling her that she was looking for her everywhere when she didn't find her in her room. When she saw Rin crying and she quickly tried to console her. She asked what happened and Rin told her what happened.

After Rin stopped her tears, Nina lead her to the bath and help her bathe.

After her bath, Nina dried Rin's hair before leaving her chambers. Rin laid down on her bed and thought about all of the events that had occurred. She couldn't stop thinking about Sesshomaru's naked form. Sure the fog was too think for her to see anything under water but the view she saw was more than her little heart can handle. She kept seeing the image of his well chiseled and muscular chest dripping with water droplets. His bangs were swooped over his head giving her a perfect view of his crescent moon while the ends of his hair were floating around him, making him look like a water sex god. After great difficulty, Rin was finally able to fall asleep.

The next morning Nina had come to wake Rin up for breakfast. She was dressed in a white kimono with pink sakura petals and a light blue obi. Rin was thankful that Sesshomaru wouldn't be joining her since he had some paper work to tend to. She didn't know how to act around him after what happened last night. It wasn't until during the after noon that she was summoned to meet him in the tea room.

On her way there, she saw Takeshi in the halls and immediately came up to him.

"You knew!" she yelled accusingly. Takeshi stared at her questionably.

"Don't act dumb, you knew that was Sesshomaru-sama's private hot spring and that he would be in there." Rin said angrily while stabbing his chest with her finger.

Takeshi only laughed "I never told you that it wasn't only that hardly anyone goes there and that it had a great view." Takeshi said while trying to muffle his laugh."So how was it? Was it big?" Takeshi asked with a smirk while raising an eyebrow.

Rin's face turned completely red "I didn't see anything" She yelled angrily.

"Your scream last night tells me that something definitely happened." Takeshi retorted.

Rin thought back to what happened last, about Sesshomaru seeing her completely naked. "Hmph!" was her only response before she walked away to head to the tea room. In the back Takeshi was bursting out laughing.

When she got there, Rin hesitantly knocked on the door. "You may come in Rin" came Sesshomaru's voice through the other side.

Rin slowly opened the door and took in the appearance of the tea room. It was beautifully decorated with curtains, and paintings. One of that paintings stood out the most. It was a painting of the true form of an inu-youkai, she can that it was Sesshomaru in his demon form after seeing him in that form a couple of times as a child.

"Have a seat Rin" Sesshomaru said in an even tone. She snapped out of her trance and slowly walked over to the low wide table. She sat across from him and saw that he had scrolls laid out everywhere on the table.

A servant came in shortly to hand her a cup of tea before she went back out. Rin took a sip of her tea when Sesshomaru finally spoke "Rin, it's natural for the body to grow and especially in certain areas so there's nothing to be embarrassed about." he said flatly.

Rin nearly chocked on her tea at his bluntness. "My lord, I am aware of that. It's just that… I've never shown a male my body before." She said with a beet red face. " She was slightly disappointed and sad that he wasn't attracted to her body but boy was she wrong. In truth, Sesshomaru couldn't stop picturing her nakedness all night.

"Hn." was his only respond. Inside he was more than happy knowing that he was the only male to have ever see her naked.

They sat in silence for a while Sesshomaru looked through his scrolls some more. Rin enjoyed spending time with her beloved lord even if he didn't talk or do much.

Sesshomaru glanced over at his innocent ward awing at the room once more. When see catch him looking at her, she gave him a bright smile. "Have you've been to the garden?" He asked slowly. He didn't know how to act around her now that she's no longer a child, especially after he had seen her naked last night.

"No my Lord, I was told that no one is allowed in there except you and the gardener." She said obediently.

"And you." he said looking deeply into her brown doe-like eyes. "You may go there whenever you wish." He continued.

Rin was surprised at his permission. She squealed with joyed and Sesshomaru saw her eyes glimmer. "Thank my Lord!" she said excitingly. "May I go there now?" she asked with hope.

"Do as you wish" was his response. He watched her get up, bowed and then wave as she left the room. He was glad to make happy after sensing her unknown sadness earlier.

Rin quickly walked to the garden and gasped at how breath taken it was. It was hard to imagine that it was a part of this world. Flower bushes of every color were grown throughout the garden. There were many trees with beautiful white flowers in the process of blooming. What really took her breath away was a large sakura tree in full bloom. Pink petals slowly fell onto the koi pond beneath it. Rin looked around to make sure no one was watch her when she suddenly dashed to the tree and climbed it. She sat on a sturdy branch and took in the the view of her new home.

A week had passed and Rin was starting to get bored. She wasn't allowed to leave the perimeters of the palace grounds to explore so she spends most other time in the garden or in her room. Sesshomaru was always working and training soldiers so she barely saw him. Jaken would sometimes come to talk to her but his screeching got annoying. Nina was sometimes too busy to talked to her too.

She walked around the palace and noticed the warriors training either with weapons or sparring with one another. Takeshi was there to train them instead of Sesshomaru today. She suddenly got a great idea and walked over to Takeshi. He saw her coming and told the men to take a break.

"Hello goddess, what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you in the training grounds?" He said while kiss her hand.

Rin only glare at him before saying "I'm looking for Sesshomaru-sama. Do you know where he is?" She asked while yanking her hand back.

Takeshi chuckled at her response "I see someone's not having enough attention." he snorted "He's in his study room"

Rin ignored his comment and went to Sesshomaru's study room. She lightly knock on the door before Sesshomaru said "Enter Rin." She walked in, peering her head in first before walking over to him. She noticed the his beautiful and perfect hand writing on the scroll he was writing on. The room was filled with books and scrolls and had a noticeable smell of parchment and ink.

"Can I help you Rin?" He asked while staring at her intently.

Rin played with her fingers and chewed on her lips as she stared down on the floor, wondering if she should go through with her question. Sesshomaru was amused by her nervousness and cocked an eyebrow. She looked up and "eeped" at his amused expression "Well" he said teasingly.

"I-I was wondering" she looked into his eyes "if I can train with the other warriors." She finally mustered up.

Sesshomaru immediately frowned. "Rin, I have told you, while you're under my protection, you will not fight. Don't make me repeat myself again." He said angrily. She can feel his anger but continued on anyways "But I've been training for years, I don't want all of my efforts to go to waste when" she paused " I only did it to be with you again." she whispered in a soft voice.

"Why do you insist on fighting. Do you doubt this Sesshomaru?" he asked with irritation.

"Of course not!" she yelled back immediately. He was stunned just as much as she was at her outburst. "I doubt myself. I don't want to be a weak human. I want to prove that I'm worthy to be in your company, that you didn't make a mistake to ask me to rejoin you." She said with determination. "Please Sesshomaru-sama. Let Rin fight." She implored with tears falling down her face.

He was shocked to hear her reasons and her tears. After what felt like forever of looking into each others eyes in pure silence Sesshomaru finally cracked. "Fine, but if you get hurt, you will stop and never ask to fight again." Rin's eyes widen at his approval. She quickly wiped her tears away and gave him the brightest smile she can muster. She quickly went over to him and gave him a giant giggly hug before she realized what she was doing. Sesshoamru was too shock to react and only stood there frozen as a statue.

Rin gasped and quickly released him when she realized she was hugging him. "I'm so sorry Sesshomaru-sama!" she said with a bright red face. She speed walked to the door but stopped before stepping out. She turned around facing him "Thank you for letting me fight" she said with a smile full of gratitude. She walked out and sprinted back to the training grounds.

Takeshi and his men were still in the middle of training when Rin came back. He noticed her scent and grin "So I see the goddess has return" he said sacarstically.

"Yes I have, and this time its to fight." she stated with a strong voice.

"What? You mean train?" Rin nodded without drifting her eyes from his. "But you're a human and a female one at that." Rin gave him an annoyed looked telling him to continue. "You'll only get hurt and get in the way. Besides Sesshomaru-sama would never let his ward fight let only train with his men." He said trying to defend his reasons.

"Sesshomaru-sama has given me his permission so there no reason as to why I can't" She said threateningly implying that no one can stop her now.

Takeshi signed while shaking his head. "Fine, I'll let you spar today but if you can't keep up, I won't let you train with us again" he said with defeat.

"Great" Rin smiled. "So who am I sparring with?" she asked with triumph.

"First off, you can't spar in that." He gesture to her kimono.

"Fine, I'll be back with a more appropriate attire." she signed before leaving.

When she came back, Sesshomaru was overlooking the warriors while talking to Takeshi.

"I see that your dressed correctly" he stated with sarcasm. Rin was wearing demon slayer with a short dark blue kimono with a widen bottom so that she can move more freely. It was tied with a yellow sash that held her sword that she brought with her and was completed with black boots that ended at her calf.

Takeshi called a young inu-youkai over by the name of Hirose. He was handsome but not nearly as attractive as Sesshomaru. His black midnight hair was tied up in a pony tail and ended at his mid-back. He had a single purple stripe on both of his cheeks and sun kissed skin.

"Yes Takeshi-sama" he quickly greet.

"I want you to spar with Rin-sama." he instructed, using her name for the first time.

"B-But I" he quickly said while looking nervously back and forth to Takeshi and Sesshomaru.

"But she is Sesshomaru-sama ward. What if a harm her?" He asked terrifyingly. He knew that Sesshomaru would kill him if he injures Rin.

"Don't worry I'll be the one doing the harming. And if you're lucky enough to land a move on me, I'll make sure Sesshomaru-sama doesn't harm you." She said arrogantly.

Hirose was angry at her comment "Okay then, I guess I won't hold back." he said with a glare.

They got in their position. Rin drew her sword while Hirose drew his. He made the first move by striking her from the side. Rin easily blocked his attack while pushing him back before landing a foot to his stomach. He staggered back, surprised by her strength and speed but quickly attacked again. This time he used his demonic speed to get behind her. She saw what he was planning and quickly turned away to block his strike while trying to draw her sword back to strike him back. Hirose barely dodge her in time before she went back for another attempt. They attacked each other, both barely dodging the other's attack for twenty minutes. The others warriors had stopped what they were doing to watch the fight.

Rin was getting really annoyed and decided to end the fight. "Okay let's end this." she said calmly. She quickly ran to him with a speed she wasn't using before and strike him with more strength this time. Hirose positioned his sword to block it but Rin knocked it out of his hand. She punched him in the face with her left hand causing him to fall flat on his back. By the time he knew what had happened, Rin's blade was to his neck. "I win" she chime.

Hirose was shocked. He could only gulp while processing what had just happen. Everyone else watching them were speechless. They couldn't believe that a human woman had defeated one of their best fighters.

Takeshi was bursting tears laughing while Sesshomaru smirked with a huge sense of proudness for his ward.

Rin smile at her lord before reaching her hand out to help Hirose up. He showed good sportsmanship and accepted her hand. She pulled him up be saying "Good job. That was an amazing fight." She said with satisfaction.

"Yeah" he breathed "I didn't expect that outcome. You're an great fighter Rin-sama." He said with a bow. Rin smiled at his compliment "Thank you. You're really strong too. It's been awhile since I've fought against such a tough opponent." He smile at as she sheathed her sword. Hirose left to retrieve his sword while Rin headed over to Sesshomaru.

"So how as my fighting Sesshomaru-sama?" She asked shyly.

"Hn. Good job Rin. You may continue to train as long as you don't get hurt." He replied calmly.

Rin lit up at his compliment and quickly thanked him.

"You're a lot better than I thought" he spoke with disbelief.

"So does that mean I can come back again?"

"Anytime you want. I kind of need your help whipping these boys to shape anyways." he said with a smirk.

Two weeks have passed since Rin had started training daily with the warriors. She was improving greatly and learned many tips and moves from the warriors while she helped them train in return.

Meanwhile while Rin was training, Sesshomaru was reading a letter requesting for his appearance for the annual summons of the four great lords.

At dinner, Sesshomaru and Rin were the only two eating that night. She enjoyed the alone time with her lord and couldn't be happier at the moment.

"Rin, do you want to attend the lord summonings with me?" he asked flatly.

"Rin stopped eating and looked surprisingly at Sesshomaru. She didn't expect for him to ask her to come to a place where powerful demons would gather but she quickly nodded her head. "Yes of course my lord. I would love to go with you."

"Hn. We will leave in five days then."

"Hai" Rin said with a cheerful smile before eating the rest of her dinner.
