Chapter 6: Serious Discussion, Wings of Passion Once More

By Tainted InuShemeeko

Sesshomaru walked back into Rin's room as he was pulling his white shirt over his head. When he got there however Rin was nowhere to be found. He slowly started to make his way through the house when he found her staring into the living room.

"Rin."

His voice sounded commanding as he spoke to her. Rin turned slowly to face him; one of her brightest smiles filled her face.

"Yes, Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru's eyes held their cold look once again.

"I take it you are ready to leave?"

Rin nodded her head.

"Yes, I'm ready."

Her eyes then caught Sesshomaru looking around the house as if he was trying to decide wether or not it was worth something. It was then that his amber honey brown looked back at Rin as he spoke. His voice remained cold.

"I have decided."

Rin looked over at Sesshomaru she was completely confused about what he was talking about.

"Sesshomaru what have you decided upon?"

Sesshomaru nodded his head at her as if he was saying he understood why she was confused.

"I have decided to leave you here. I shall return home and bring my car back here to fetch you. That should give you enough time to pack whatever you wish from this house. For I shall not allow you to come back here unless I see fit too."

Rin was to shocked to answer him. Was he truly asking her to move into his house with his family? Sesshomaru then turned and made his way toward the door.

"I shall take my leave now. I will send a moving van to load whatever you wish into it. I have matters to discuss with my father. I shall return for you when they are finished."

Rin nodded slowly as she watched him walk out of the front door. At first she was still too stunned to move. Once she was able to grab on to her sense Rin when through a list in her head of all the things in the house she want to keep.

*************************************************************** *********

Sesshomaru stood graciously in front of his father's office. He held an air of confidence and power around him. His honey brown eyes were cold yet filled with determination, as he lightly knocked on the door. Waiting for his father to bid him enter.

He was about to set the course of his life today and nothing was going to change his mind. He had thought about it when he had awakened beside Rin, he had thought about it on his way to see his father. It was one he was willing to make and keep for the rest of his life. Sesshomaru softly turned the knob of his father's office door as he heard his door.

"You may enter."

Inutaisho looked up from his paper work as he saw Sesshomaru enter his office. Sesshomaru could tell his father was surprised to see his eldest son standing in front of him.

"Sesshomaru what brings you to my office at such an early hour. I didn't expect you to return until noon. I take it Rin is with you?"

Sesshomaru held no emotion on his face as his eyes locked with his fathers. His cold hard glaze told his father that he was there to discuss something of importance with him.

"No she is not she's is packing her clothes and other treasures as we speak. I have sent one of our vans to her house. I take it that is not a problem father?"

Inutaisho raised an eyebrow as his elder son spoke.

"So you just planned on moving Rin into our home with out clearing it with me and your step mother?"

Sesshomaru's face remained stoic as he stared at his father.

"I see. Then I suppose you do not wish to hear of my other plans?"

Curiosity over took Inutaisho as he stared at his son.

"You have other plans? I suppose these other plans are the reason you have come to speak to me?"

"Indeed, Father."

Inutaisho nodded to Sesshomaru and waved toward the chair that sat in front of his desk.

"So what exactly are these plans you have in mind?"

Sesshomaru's face still held no trace of emotion, his eyes hard like ice. Sesshomaru's voice was as chilly as his eyes, as he began speaking to his father.

"I wish to purchase Rin's house. I am sure there is away to do so?"

Inutaisho studied his son as he spoke.

"What makes you so interested in buying her house from the state. What is there that you haven't told me?"

"There is father."

Inutaisho's mismatched eyes continued to stare at his son as he spoke.

"I have debloomed a precious and pure flower. I was reckless, and acted in a disgraceful manner. I plan on taking responsibility for my actions."

Inutaisho's voice remained calm as he spoke.

"I see. This flower that you have ruined, I suppose is Rin."

Sesshomaru remained silent as he stared at his father. That is when Inutaisho saw it guilt and yet there was more to it, that was all he needed from his answer.

"I will restore the honor to our family name. I will also care for whatever comes from my union with Rin."

Inutaisho couldn't believe what his son had confessed to doing. Something that he thought was never expected. Sesshomaru had acted with out using his head. He never did that, however he had never seen guilt in his eyes before either.

Sesshomaru continued to watch his father as he cleared his throat.

"So you plan on buying Rin's house and giving it to her as…?"

"It shall be my wedding present to Rin."

Inutaisho couldn't believe what he was hearing. His son Sesshomaru wished to married a young orphaned girl just because he had been careless when she had been most vulnerable. Inutaisho was unsure if this was wise for him to do. Yet he understood him, for he had done the same thing with Sesshomaru's mother.

"Sesshomaru are you sure this is what you really wish to do?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his father.

"Are you saying that I am using poor judgment?"

Inutaisho shook his head as he looked at his son.

"Not at all Sesshomaru. He then sighed, "I only wish to make sure that this is something you really want to do."

Sesshomaru's voice remained unmoving as he spoke.

"It is father. I wish to discuss a different matter with you now."

"Oh." Inutaisho replied as he tried to read the expression on his son's face in which he could not do.

Sesshomaru was silent as he waited for his father to tell him to continue.

"Well go on Sesshomaru. It is clear you have come here to speak your mind so speak it."

Sesshomaru nodded, "Very well."

"I wish to marry Rin. However, I desire to do it in secret only you and Rin as well as I will know about it. Once Rin graduates next year, we shall have a formal wedding. As for know, everyone else including my brother and Izayoi shall not know that we are all ready married. They will just think we are engaged."

Inutaisho kneaded his chin as he looked at Sesshomaru.

"I see you have thought about this through. You know I do not like keeping secrets from your stepmother. However, I shall do it nonetheless."

Sesshomaru nodded to his father as he stood.

"I thank you for the few moments of time that you have allowed me. I shall take my leave from you now."

Sesshomaru stood and slowly made his way to the door. When his father's voice stopped him.

"Sesshomaru, I must ask this of you. You have known Rin for only a few short weeks. Can you truly look at me and tell me that you are truly in love with her? If you cannot look at me and tell me that you care as deeply as I do for Izayoi, I will not help you. I will not have you break her heart just because she is what you are interested in now. I must know that you will be interested in her forever."

Sesshomaru turned gracefully to look at his father.

"I shall admit that I have these strange feelings for her. She makes me feel things that I have never felt before. I have found that I enjoy seeing her smile and hearing her laugh. When she is not smiling I find myself desiring to see her smile."

Inutaisho eyes widened as he listened to his eldest son talking about Rin. Something warm sparked with in his eyes as he spoke her name. Something Inutaisho had never seen in Sesshomaru's eyes. Not since Inuyasha was born. Could it be that Sesshomaru was truly captivated with Rin? Could what he now see shining in Sesshomaru's eyes be his love for the young woman?

"I see. Very well Sesshomaru. I shall do what I can about Rin's house. As well as arranging a time with the Justice of the Peace."

Sesshomaru nodded once more to his father.

"I am in you debut father."

*************************************************************** *********

The first thing Sesshomaru noticed as he pulled his silver Pontiac GrandAm in front of the little blue house was that the gray moving van was not longer there. He had many things he wished to talk to Rin about. He however was unsure if now was a good time seeing how today was the second day of her mother's passing.

Upon entering the house light sobbing floated to his ears. He knew that sob he'd heard it before.

"Rin."

Sesshomaru rushed through the living room and down the hallway. The crouched on the floor crying was Rin. He then realized that the door was open to the room that she was knelt in front of.

"Rin. What is wrong what happened?"

Rin choked back a sob as she looked up at Sesshomaru with her tear-streaked face. He looked into the room and now he understood what had caused her tears. The room that lay before them had belonged to her parents.

"I'm sorry. I must look a mess. I had planned on going through their room and packing up all their things. But when I opened the door, the smell of my parents got to me. I just couldn't do it."

She looked away for a moment and then back again.

"You must think horribly of me."

"Never would I think such a thing," his voice suddenly soft as he spoke.

"I would never think such a thing of you. It is foolish for you to even think so. You have suffered a great loss, such tears are expected."

Rin smiled softly up at Sesshomaru, before she spoke.

"I just don't know how I'm going to do the preparations for the funereal."

Sesshomaru gently stroked her left cheek as he held her on his lap. His voice was cold yet it held a warm gentleness to it.

"Your mother's funereal arrangements have been finalized this morning. Her wishes followed through with. The only thing they need is your approval."

Rin's cinnamon eyes widened as she looked up at Sesshomaru.

"You and your family have done so much for me already I don't know what to say?"

Sesshomaru kissed the top of her head as she sat in his lap. The scent of mangos and apples, mingled with the jasmine scent of her flesh.

"The only thing you have to say is yes. I would be honored in you would stay with me and my family."

"I said yes this morning did I not?"

Sesshomaru nodded, a small smirk appeared on his lips.

"Indeed. I believe you did. However, there is one thing that I carelessly forgot to ask you. You do me the honor of wearing this for me. I was told it would go beautifully with your lovely cinnamon eyes."

Rin was confused she was completely unsure of what Sesshomaru was talking about.

"Sesshomaru? What on earth are you talking about?"

Rin's eyes eyed the small box in Sesshomaru's hand. She wasn't sure what was inside. A pair of ear rings maybe, or a delicate necklace. What Rin saw inside was not what she expected to see. A nice sized hexagon cut diamond, with two Citrine gemstones on each side.

"Oh Sesshomaru it's beautiful."

"Rin, your mouth is open. You have not answered my question. Will you wear it for me?"

Rin blinked a few times as she stared into Sesshomaru eyes.

`Is Sesshomaru asking me what I think he is? Why though why would he want to be with me?'

A smile shone on her face and a small laugh escaped her, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Yes, I will wear it for you. I only wish I knew why? Are you that ashamed over last night that you feel that you must marry me?"

The small smiled that had crept onto Sesshomaru's face vanished quickly as Rin finished her last question. At first he was speechless and unsure of how to answer him. Sesshomaru then decided it was best to tell her the truth.

"I do not find fault in what you did Rin. You were in pain, seeking comfort. I do find the fault in me, you were in a vulnerable state and I took advantage of that. However, I can't deny that having you the way I did. Felt correct in every way possible. I feel so many things when I am with you I come unsure of myself until you smile at me then I am a peace once again."

Sesshomaru tilted Rin's chin up as he kissed her lips gently. Something glimmered within his honey gold eyes.

"I will not lose you Rin. When I am with you, I feel alive. It would pain me to lose you; it would be like losing a piece of myself."

Rin took the ring from the box, and placed it within Sesshomaru's hand wrapping his fingers around it.

"I have told you that I will wear it, but before I allow you to place it on my finger I need to know how long you intend to keep me."

Rin then started to talk in second person, which baffled Sesshomaru.

"Rin knows what it feels like to be someone's trash and she does not wish to become it ever again."

Sesshomaru continued to look at Rin he was shocked at what he had just heard.

"For one thing I assure I never plan to throw you away. I plan on keeping you as long as you will have me."

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru as she placed a kiss upon his cheek. Another small smile graced his lips as his looked at her. Sesshomaru then kissed her left hand as he slid the ring upon it.

"Shall we go home Rin?"

`Hmmm, home something I thought I had lost. Only to be given a new one.'

*************************************************************** *********

That night as Rin got ready for bed her last conversation she had with Sesshomaru ran inside her mind.

~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*

"Rin my father has arranged for us to be married in a few days. We shall be the only one's there this time. However I promise you a true former Wedding the summer you graduate. I trust you understand my reasons of doing things the way I am?"

Rin nodded her head her stunning cinnamon eyes locking with his honey one's.

"Yes, I believe I do. It's because of my age, I have yet to turn eighteen."

~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*

Sesshomaru had nodded to her and then excused himself. Leaving Rin to prepare for bed. Just as Rin was about to slid under the covers. There was a gentle knock at her door. Rin then slowing climbed out of bed and walked over to the door.

"Oh Sesshomaru it's you. Did you forget something? It really is getting late."

"Indeed I did."

Sesshomaru cupped Rin's chin in one of his hands as he brought his lips to meet his. Rin's body responded to the kiss by leaning in closer to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru pulled her to him as the kiss deepened and the heat from the kiss passed between the two involved in the kiss.

Sesshomaru then cursed at himself he had been lying in bed for a half an hour. Rin plaguing his thoughts once more, Rin was like an intoxicating drug, one drag and now he was addicted to her. The smell of jasmine's still burned his senses with its sweet smell. Yet he also knew where this kiss could lead them. Sesshomaru had always been in control however, whenever he was near Rin the tables seemed to turn.

"I implore you Rin. Would it be so wrong for me to want to feel your flesh against mine? We are now joined together as one. Our bodies joined to make one complete one."

Rin shook her head no as one of Sesshomaru `s hands traveled down her back. His other fumbled behind him closing the door. She shivered as she felt a familiar tingle in the junction of her thighs.

*************************************************************** *****

The clock now read one, Rin's chin rested on Sesshomaru's shoulder. Sesshomaru now held one of Rin's hands in his hand as he kissed each finger. Rin found herself absent-mindedly tracing the blue crescent moon on his right shoulder.

"When did you get this? You don't seem the type to believe in defiling the body."

Sesshomaru nodded in agreement.

"I was fifteen when I came upon the open door to my father's study. I saw a portrait of a person with the very same crescent moon shape tattooed on his forehead. When I saw my father I question my father about it. He told me that the man in the painting was one of our ancestors and that they had believed in body art."

"I then question him more and more about it. The only thing he would say was that it was believed that it gave him great power. From that day on I was determined to be just as strong."

He was silent as Rin spoke.

"So that's when you decided to have that very mark tattooed on your body?"

"Indeed."

Rin then voiced the question.

"Sesshomaru? May I ask what his name was?"

Sesshomaru face turned stoic once again as he answered.

"His name was Lord Sesshomaru."

He smirked as a gasp escaped Rin's lips.

"However I am not the first to carry his name. I am the thirty-fifth. Our family records hold a lot of valuable information."

Rin was able to ask him more able his family tree when she found herself stifling a yawn. Her hand fell from Sesshomaru's back as she was claimed by sleep. Sesshomaru smiled when he realized that she had fallen asleep.

Once he was sure that he wouldn't disturb her. He climbed out of bed and then back in spooning her body against his.

"We shall talk more about my family tree in the days to come."

He then lost himself to bliss dreams something he could never remember having.
