Chapter 20!

Family; Let The Ritual Begin!

Two years later…

"Hey! Inutashi! Get back here this instant! Be a good son and take a bath!"

"Wee!" Rin was exhausted! At just two, the twins could already walk and speak perfectly. They had their fathers brains after all. So many things had happened in two years. Kohaku was married to Aya-Me now, with a son named Koha. Miroku and Sango had five children now in total. Inuyasha and Kagome had three children in total. Ever since the twins were born, the mansion had been quite hectic!

Rin slid across the hallway and caught Inutashi!

"Ha! I got you!" Rin bellowed, as she scooped up her half naked son. "Mama! No fair!" Inutashi replied, as he was caught red handed.

"Come now, your sister took a bath, why won't you?" Inutashi rolled his eyes and folded his arms then replied. "Sis always likes baths because baths are for girls!" "Son, baths are for everyone. Why, even your father takes a bath now and then."

Rin said, taking the child into the bathroom, where the hot spring was. Inutashi huffed and replied. "Oh really? Papa takes baths? Some how I don't believe you Mama." Rin chuckled, then replied, while putting her son in the shallow end of the hot spring. "Sure he does, if he was here right now I bet he would." Inutashi lowered his head, then replied. "Well, I don't want to by myself. Mama, will you come in with me?" "Sure, I could use a soak."

So Rin and her son bathed in the spring, bonding as mother and son. Once they were both clean, they exited and got dressed. The hot spring made Inutashi very sleepy, as he passed out in Rins arms. Rim smiled and threw on her house coat to cover herself, then carried Inutashi to his ajoined room with Resashy. She put the child in his crib and tucked him in. She then exited the room and slid the doors shut.

She sighed, as Sesshomaru was wondering yet again. She sighed again and went into the master bedroom to find- Sesshomaru waiting for her.

'Oh sure.' Rin thought, rolling her eyes. 'Show up for sex, but not for your children.' she thought again, sitting next to him. Rin sighed again, then spoke.

"You were gone for over a month." Rin said, as her voice showed anger. Sesshomaru nodded, then replied. "I know, I'm- sorry." Rin rose to her feet and pulled back the blankets with a reply. "You always say that." Sesshomaru helped, also replying. " I didn't mean to be gone so long. I was- looking into things. I was researching about the ritual." Rin huffed and slid into bed.

"You always say you're researching, but you have never even tried! It's been two years Lord Sesshomaru, I'm 20 now, I'm getting older." Sesshomaru nodded and shed his kimono then slid into bed with Rin, replying.

"I know, I just don't want you to loose your human blood." "I already told you," Rin started, turning off the light. "My life as a human was never normal or perfect." Rin said, finishing her sentence.

"After my parents and brother died, I had no one. I was living in constant fear from the village, they would always beat me, and take crops that I grew, saying that I stole them. When I met you, I was still weak, as you always protected me. If I were to be like Inuyasha, I could protect my family, even when you're not around.

My point is, is that I don't want to be just a human anymore, who you always have to protect. I don't care if you turn me into a half demon, at least I can live with you and not age one bit- ever."

"Rin, what are you exactly trying to say?" Sesshomaru asked, looking over at Rin. Rin smiled and stradled her husband, then replied. "Let's do the ritual right her, right now." Rin replied, smilling. Sesshomaru was shocked, at a loss for words! Rin was right though, if they were going to do this, they had to do it now. Sesshomaru nodded and undid Rin's house coat.

"Listen carefully, after we make love, you have to bite me, and I have to bite you, understand?" Sesshomaru said, looking up at Rin. She nodded then replied. "Yes, I understand."

So the couple made love, so they could start the ritual.
