Sooo… I finally had time to finish this chapter during vacay. I hope you like:D There will finally be some kind smex so enjoy:D
A few days have pass since the war and everyone was back home. The lords and their armies have returned to their respective lands without much trouble. The demons who were under Kiraya's control have regained their senses and memories. They were split up and allowed the rights to stay under the care of the lords until they are adjusted with their new life style. Some choose to return to live where they originally came from while other choose to travel and explore the other lands. As long as they behaved, no harm will come to them and as they will receive the same rights as other demons.
All and all, everything was back to normal, except for a few things. After the blinding light, they had found Airi's collapsed on Rin's still body.
Kagome had check their body, announcing that neither were breathing with very faint pulses. Refusing to believe they were dead, Rin and Airi were taken back to Sesshomaru's castle where their were under intense observation and care. If they had a pulse, then it meant that they were still alive so no one gave up hope on their possible survival.

"Ughm… Why isn't she waking up?" Inuyasha grumbled loudly with a scowl imprinted on his face. He was currently pacing around one of Sesshomaru's many rooms while the others sat and contemplate about the same things. The mood was solemn and intense. Even the kids were having a difficult time staying cheerful.
They were all equally as worried, however, they can all agree that no one is more concerned for the well being of Rin than Sesshomaru. He rarely left her side ever since they returned to the palace except when he went to bed or during meetings. Its been three days and Rin has shown no sighs of waking up whats so ever.
As worried as they are for the girl, everyone gave Sesshomaru space and left them alone to discuss and figure out a solution to their predicament. And besides, they didn't want to be any where near the irritable demon lord. He was very over protective about Rin, especially since she almost died for the third time in front of his eyes. Though he didn't voice or show it, he clearly blamed himself for Rin's state. They were surprised that he cared so much about the girl despite his cold demeanor and emotionless mask.
They were even more surprised when Sesshomaru had agreed to let Senri stay within his castle after much begging and pleading from the demon. He had much to offer in regards to information on Kiraya and her demons. Being Kiraya's right hand man since the beginning, he had more knowledge than any of the other demons.

"Hey, do you know where Senri is?" Inuyasha wonder out of no where after much pacing. The two had a unique relationship. After the whole war catastrophe, Inuyasha realized that Senri wasn't such a bad guy. He even vouch for him to stay in the castle even though he was the enemy just days ago.
"He's probably with Airi." Kagome replied, her face very dejected.
When he wasn't informing the others about Kiraya, he was with Airi the whole time, refusing to leave her side unless necessary. Especially ever since last night.
"Do you blame the guy." Miroku added.
"I feel so bad for him." Sango said.
"You don't think Rin will…" Inuyasha started, his voice fill with trepidation.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence!" Kagome yelled, slamming her hands against the table she was sitting at. Inuyasha looked at her and only saw the painful and terrified look on her face. He looked down, feeling very anxious inside for some reason.
He remembered the events of last night and how scared he felt for the well being of Rin.

It was well past sunset and everyone had their dinner. The dinner consisted of Inuyasha and his companions since Sesshomaru rarely needs to eat in the first place. Of course it wasn't as cheerful as it could have been, not with Rin and Airi's condition still unknown. After dinner, everyone had retire to bed when Senri screamed.
"Airi!" He howled in agony. Everyone awakened or snapped out of their sleep-like trance, startled by the loud cry. Within seconds, Sesshomaru was at Airi's door.
Senri was on the ground, hunched over with Airi's body pressed against his. He was crying and whispering her name.
"No. No. No. Airi please. Please wake up. Don't leave. Please… don't die." He whispered into her deaf eyes, his tears dripping onto her pale lifeless fece.
Realizing that Airi was dead, Sesshomaru vanished from the room in a flash.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and their friends finally made it to the scene without their children.
"Oh no." Kagome gasped, tears forming on the corners of her eyes.
"Don't tell me…" Inuyasha whispered. They stayed in silence, speechless.
It was hard to see the demon crying over his lost love, his body shuttering in a state of shock.
Then it suddenly dawn on her. "Rin." Kagome gasped. The others snapped out of their remorseful state.
Running to Rin's chambers with the others hot on her tail, Kagome burst into the room with Sesshomaru already inside.
When Sesshomaru realizing that Airi was dead, the first thing that popped in his mind was Rin. He rushed to her room, finding her still alive thankfully. He felt a pang of fear rush over his body at the though of Rin dying again. He never wanted to go through the same pain when she died the second time and he was helpless to revive her. He felt emotions that he never cared to harvest, making himself feel weak. He hated the thought of being weak. Ever since Rin's kidnapping, that's all he felt.

Still consumed in his thoughts, Inuyasha failed to notice the small pattering of footsteps coming towards the room. The door slammed open, shocking everyone out of their state of mind to reveal an out of breath Jaken.
"She's awake!" He announced after catching his breath.
Everyone's eyes widen, knowing full well what he meant. Rushing up, they each grabbed their kids and ran to her room, stampeding over Jaken in the process. When they reached her chamber hall, they heard an angry scream.
"Don't touch me you filthy dog!" Came a feminine voice, followed by a loud resounding smack.
When they bursted into the door, Rin was sitting up on her bed, her hand up as she glared at Sesshomaru with red vicious eyes. His eyes were slightly widen from the verbal insult and the assault.
"Rin!" Came Kagome's voice above everyone else's as they rushed around her, ignoring Sesshomaru. Rin was slightly puffing from over using her voice so suddenly during her weaken state.
Kagome brought her into a tight hug, overjoyed from her awakening. "I'm so glad you're okay, I though… I thought.." She cried, unable to finish her sentence, imagining the worse. The others smiled, a few tears here and there, but definitely relief back in their eyes.
"You can let go now." Came Rin's sharp voice. Kagome flinched and quickly back away.
"Oh sorry, you're probably still in pain after what happened." Kagome exclaimed in a rush. Rin didn't respond and instead gave her an annoyed look. The aura around her was off, as if she wasn't herself.
"Anyways, what was that about? Calling the bastard a filthy dog." Inuyasha asked, a thumb pointing to his glaring older brother.
"You did what!?" Came Jaken's voice as he finally made it to the room. Everyone turn to stare at the annoying breathless imp. "You rotten child, after everything milord has done for you, is this how you repay him? Why a otta.." He threatened.
"Shut up Jaken." Rin snapped in a low malicious voice. He was frozen in a wide gape. Rin has never sounded so cold or angry at him like that before. She was always tolerant of him, no matter how annoying he can be sometimes.
Everyone else was equally as surprised. "Rin…" Kagome began cautiously before she was cut off.
"Let me make this clear." All eyes and ears were on her. "The Rin that you know, the kind, cheerful, weak, and human Rin is gone." Rin announced as she glared at each individual, sending shivers down their spine, except for Sesshomaru's of course. He was stunned but didn't show it as usual.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked in disbelief.
"I am the inner demon counterpart of Rin's mind, just like how they have their own." Rin replied coldly, gesturing to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's demon only comes out when his life's in danger. Sesshomaru has a better control of his demon, bringing it out at will. Though their inner demons are there, they only come out for a short period of time then recede back to the deepest part of their self-consciences.
"So what you're saying is that the Rin we know is gone?" Miroku concluded in speculation.
"That would be correct." Rin replied, a small sly smile on her perfect face.

"Nina!" Rin yelled from inside her room. Just only moments later, the panting demoness maid came rushing to tend to her lady.
"How can I help you Rin-sama?" Nina asked after sprinting into the room once again. Ever since Rin's change in personality, Nina thought it was wiser to address her formally than not. She was elated to hear about the awakening of her friend, but it wasn't the same Rin that she knew and love.
"I want to take a bath. Quickly prepare one and make sure you put in those sakura blossom." Rin commanded, pointing to the giant sakura tree Airi accidentally made.
"I'm sorry my lady but that tree is in Sesshomaru-sama's garden. I am forbidden to go in there."
"Forget it. Just draw me my bath." She sighed in annoyance.
"Yes my lady." Nina quickly scurried away, too afraid to deal with Rin's change in personality. As much as she adore the girl, Rin had made it impossible for anyone to be around her. She would yell, complain, threaten to have Sesshomaru punish them, even though at this moment he probably wouldn't. He himself didn't even know how to deal with her. She was the polar opposite of the sweet Rin they all knew and love.
Rin slowly walked over to the window and perched herself onto the wide wooden window sill, admiring the gigantic sakura tree in Sesshomaru's private garden. She was drawn to the tree for some reason. She remembers the old Rin's memories but that tree was new even to her since even the old Rin didn't even realize what the tree was. She'll unconsciously turn her attention to the tree and stare at it for long minutes without moving from her window seat and become lost in her mind.

Meanwhile, while Rin was enjoying her bath, the others were in Sesshomaru's study.
"What are we going to do about Rin? It's only been a few hour since she's woken up and already she's driving us all crazy." Inuyasha started.
"There must be some way to change her back to the way she was." Sango added.
"But the demon Rin said the human Rin was gone." Miroku countered.
"She could be lying so that we won't try anything." Kagome retorted.
Sesshomaru was sitting in his seat, thinking a mile a minute. He had to revert Rin to the way she once was. This Rin was not the Rin he cares for. He's afraid, yes afraid, that he might do something to her if she continues to defy him and act the way she does now. He may have a lot of patience when it comes to Rin but it was only so much. So far, the girl has done everything that he would kill others in an instant for doing. She was testing his patience by talking back to him, attempting to attack him, and degrading him like she did before. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a slight knock.
"There might be a way." Senri announced, stepping into the room. After mourning over Airi, he finally settled down. He had overheard about Rin's situation and came down to help them.
The others remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"The truth is, when Rin was transitioning, we used another demon to speed up the process by drawing out her inner demon self to the surface faster. He did an incantation to lure the premature demon out. I'm assuming that her demon is too strong, too attach to the surface and refuses retreat back to the confines of her conscience unlike the inner demons of the other rogue demons."
The others were speechless. Sesshomaru wanted nothing more than to kill Senri for even having a part of doing this to his Rin. How dare they tamper with her mind and body, turning her into a… monster.
"However, if we can locate that demon then perhaps we can get him to undo the spell." He quickly said as he felt Sesshomaru's demonic aura rising with anger.
"Hn" Was his only response as his aura slowly diminished. Standing up, he walked to the door. "We leave tomorrow." He instructed to Senri before leaving the premises.
Walking back to his room, he sat behind his low desk to look over some more documents. After several minutes, a light knock drew his attention from his work.
"Come in." He said, knowing it was Rin.
Rin came in wearing a deep purple sleeping kimono with the top slightly sliding off to reveal her creamy shoulders.
"Sesshomaru-sama." She purred seductive as she walked slowly to his desk, swaying her hips to emphasize the curves of her luscious curves.
He watch her intently, curious as to what she could possibly have in mind after all of the stunts she pulled earlier today. She didn't bother to hide the fact that she despised him the most for some unknown reason and now she wants to seduce him. What is her objective?
Once she reached the desk, she placed her hands on his desk and slowly leaned forward so that they were on eye level. The angle dew her kimono down to reveal ample cleavage. She smirked when she noticed his eyes flickered to her chest for a split second before they went back to her face.
"What is it Rin?" Sesshomaru asked evenly, trying his hardest not to eye her cleavage. He never had this much trouble ignoring Rin's beautiful body before, even when she was human and when he had a couple of peeks other alluring body.
She stayed silent for some time before she brought up a hand and slowly guided it to his face, gazing into his eyes the entire time to make sure he wouldn't do anything. When he stayed completely still, she cupped his cheek. Using her thumb to brush his magenta stripes, she brushed each stripe before slowly tracing the curve of his moon. Sliding her hands to his chest, she suddenly leaped forward, using all of her strength to push Sesshomaru to the ground. She landed on her knees by either side of his waist, with her hands next to his head.
Her dark silky hair cascaded down to create a curtain surrounding their bodies.
"Sesshomaru-sama~" She purred once again, leaning down to press her nearly exposed chest against his.
Sesshomaru was shocked. He let his guard down and allowed her to push him down like some weakling. Angry that he let her get the better of him, he tried to push her off when he smelt her arousal. The intoxicating smell was penetrating into his system. He could feel the affect of the scent causing his own arousal and his inner beast craving for more of her touch. His eyes widened when he felt her heated core press against his length. He could feel himself hardening with every downward thrust.
He gave her a low growl, warning her not to test him. He grabbed her waist which was a big mistake. The position was perfect to keep her in place as he accidentally bucked his hips up to rub against her core. She let out a soft moan, pressing herself harder against his hot harden length.
"Rrrinn." He growled once again but with more lust.
"Am I arousing you Sessommarrruu-ssama?" She chuckled, going over to his ear to lick the outer rim. He shivered from the slippery feel of her soft wet tongue and hot breath against his ear. She reveled in the fact that she could put him in this state…however, it also disgusted her to the very core.
Reaching into his haori, Rin trailed her hand over the planes of his hard and soft skin, followed by hot open kisses.
Sesshomaru clenched his hands into tight fists by his sides so that he doesn't further encourage her. He knew that this was wrong. He shouldn't be doing this with Rin. Not when she's in this state- He stopped right there. What as he even thinking? Did this mean that he would allow her to continue and reciprocate her intentions if Rin was back to normal? But he shouldn't. Rin is his ward, not some whore. Yes she admitted that she loves him and should still love him once she returns back to normal. Her love was genuine and pure, not full of lust.
Rin slowly traced her hand down his perfectly sculpted abs to the tops of his hakama. Looking up at his face, she saw the lustful eyes directed at her. He was affected by her. She climbed up his body, licking her luscious lips to further drive him crazy.
"You're attracted to me aren't you Sesshomaru-sama?" She asked seductively, her hot breath fanning over his face.
Sesshomaru did everything he could not to grab her head and shove it down to capture her tempting lips.
"Now that I'm a demoness, you've acknowledge me." His eyes narrowed from her accusation. Has he really acknowledge her? Would he let the human Rin do the same to him if she so desired? He has never denied her anything except her feelings for him. She never had the chance to persuade him to change his mind so would it change if she was never kidnapped?
"How callous can you be?" She asked lowly, her eye full of coldness and animosity.
Sesshomaru was once again stunned. What did she mean?
Rin got off of him and slowly stood up. Tightening her kimono, she stared down at her lord.
He could still see the hatred in her eyes, except they was something else in there too.
He sat up and reached for her on instincts. Before he could touch her, she retreated and left his chambers in silence.
