Chapter 25 Life's Transitions

'This morning is going to be a rough one.' Kagome thought, as she sat up and stretched her arms to wake up. Inuyasha had already gotten up and decided to shower before all of the events going on today.

Kagome got out of bed and went over to her dresser. She changed her under garments and picked out a nice blue top with pink flowers embroidered on it to wear with her jeans. She put them on and walked towards the bathroom. She had heard the water shut off a few minutes prior. Inuyasha walked out with a towel around his waist and drying his hair with another.

Kagome bit her lip as she approached her sexy mate. He smiled at her and bent down to kiss her lips. After their peck, she proceeded to enter the bathroom. The mirror was foggy from Inuyasha's shower so she whipped it with a dry washrag. She brushed through her raven black hair and then her teeth.

When she finally felt ready, she returned to the bedroom. She saw Inuyasha sitting on the edge of the bed dressed and ready for the day. But she didn't really want this day to begin. Sadness clinched at her heart. 'Everyone is leaving today.' She thought.

Inuyasha could see her pain, and feel it. He stood and hugged his mate to comfort her heartache. He hated to see her like this. Kagome felt the tears sting her cheeks.

"They're not going away forever." Inuyasha tried to make her feel better. A small smile covered her lips.

"Thanks." She said, sweetly looking up at him. She stretched up on her tip toes to give her lover a peck. The two then walked down stairs hand in hand to begin their day.

Kagome saw as servants carried Sango and Miroku's belongings through the main halls and out the door. She took in a deep breath of air as they continued. Inuyasha rubbed his thumb over the back of Kagome's hand to comfort the anxiety he felt radiating off of her. It did help. She felt better knowing he was right there beside her.

"Kagome!" Sango called running down the hall. Kagome turned and was almost knocked over from the hug she received from her best friend. "Thank you so much for everything. You're a great friend." Sango said tearfully in Kagome's ear.

Kagome hugged her friend's shoulders tighter. "I always will be." She replied. Kagome knew this wasn't the end of their friendship.

Everyone was there to wish the couple well. Rin was very emotional. She felt close to Sango because of how they came to meet. The day they met was the day they were saved. Sesshomaru was right be her side for support. She felt relieved knowing he was with her. Kagome saw how her face became calmer and softer when they looked into one another's eyes. She kept seeing these kinds of things between them recently and she became curious.

From a short distance, everyone could hear the rawr of Kilala. In a few seconds, Kilala came into sight with Kohaku on her back. She landed only briefly so he could let them know they would lead the way.

After some heart felt goodbyes and many, many 'thank you's, Miroku helped Sango into the carriage that would take them to their new home with Kohaku. Sango waved out the back window as the carriage pulled away. Kagome waved extra big to make sure she would see her.

Inu No Taisho sighed. Now, he also had to go. Every time, his heart tinged with pain as he rode away from his family. Especially with his sons growing up so quickly.

He had already said his goodbyes to his beloved Izayoi that morning. It would be better for her not to have to show her emotions in front of the family.

He walked over to Sesshomaru and Rin. He placed a hand on his son's shoulder and smiled. "Keep up the good work son!" He praised. He has done a great job of protecting everyone so far. At least since he had retaken control of himself since Rin came.

He then turned to Rin. "Keep him in line for me." He said, then gave her a wink. She giggled and nodded in agreement.

Lastly was to say goodbye to Inuyasha and Kagome. Two people he held very dear to his heart. His precious son and his last link to his dear friend. His new daughter. Inu No Tashio approached the two with a smile.

Kagome had tears filling her eyes. She had gotten so used to him being there whenever they needed him. He was her new father. She didn't want him to go. Taisho saw her sadness and gave her a fatherly hug to ease her mind.

"I will always be here for you Kagome. You don't have to worry." He assured her, giving her an equally assuring grin. Kagome smiled and nodded. Taisho then gave Inuyasha a quick but meaningful hug as well.

He looked around at all of the faces of the people he cared for and his heart wrenched at the thought of leaving them again. He needed to hurry this up before he change his mind about leaving. He gave his loving mate a kiss one last kiss before walking to his carriage. He got in and was on his way before he know it. Kagome and Rin waved goodbye as the two brothers just watched the carriage roll away again. Izayoi had turned away, unable to watch him leave.

Shippo came barreling out the front door and leaped into Kagome's arms. He was panting but his face looked mad. Kagome scrunched her eyebrows together as she tried to read his expression.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up?! I didn't get to say goodbye to anybody!" He yelled. His face quickly turned from mad to sad as tears came to his eyes. Kagome hugged the child close and rocked back and forth soothingly.

"I'm sorry sweetheart. I just didn't want you to watch them leave. I knew you would be sad." Kagome told him comfortingly. He soon calmed down and realized it was for the best. Shippo apologized for his outburst and Kagome just hugged him again for his cuteness. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist lovingly.

"Let's go eat." He offered his family. Shippo almost jumped out of Kagome's grip in excitement. Kagome smiled up at Inuyasha, heart swelled with his fatherly ways. The three proceeded to head to the dining room to fill their growling stomachs. Izayoi followed close behind them but stopped short at the hallway. She turned to Sesshmaru and Rin who had quit following a few steps back.

"Are you two going to join us?" She asked sweetly. Rin shook her head.

"We are a little earlier. But thank you for the offer!" She replied with a smile. Izayoi smiled and continued to follow behind Inuyasha and Kagome.

Rin turned to Sesshmaru. He looked down at her small frame with a hard face but soft eyes. She smiled as she grabbed his hand and dragged him towards her bedroom.

"What are we doing?" Sesshomaru asked curiously. Rin just smiled at him again and continued to lead. They reached her door and she released his hand.

Rin faced him as she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. He followed her in. She shut the door and hurriedly pushed him to sit on the bed. He didn't resist. She rushed to the corner of her room where a vanity was placed. In a moment, she approached him again more calmly.

She sat down next to him on the bed, extending her hand towards him. In them, she held a bracelet made a wooden beads. There was one space though that had a different charm. A wooden heart with one shiny diamond in the middle of it. Sesshomaru inspected the piece, trying to figure out where she got it and what it meant.

"I made it." She said softly. Sesshomaru looked back to her. "So I would be able to always have you with me." She explained, slipping the small bracelet onto her wrist and held it out in front of her to admire it. "The diamond in the middle reminds me of the place I have for you in my heart. I wanted to show you before I started to wear it around."

Rin placed her hands on her lap and looked to Sesshomaru's face to see his reaction. She didn't know if he would react at all, with his usual defense up. But she looked anyways. To her surprise, his face showed a soft and gently expression. She stared into his eyes. They were so warm and loving. She loved when he looked at her like this. She felt so wanted.

Sesshomaru lifted his hand and grazed her cheek. Her skin felt warm against his. Her eyes were full of life. So inviting. If he could, he would sit and stare into them all day and night.

Sesshmaru felt nervous. Was she telling him she loved him? He wanted so badly to make her his mate, if she would have him. He had been waiting for a woman to capture his heart for years and no one came close to melting his icy barrier. He had been waiting for Rin. She was his better half.

"Rin." He said. Rin felt a shiver run down her spine from hearing him speak her name. "I want you to chose for yourself, but I would like it if you chose to share a room with me." He told her. "If you need time, I understand."

Rin's eyes filled with tears and Sesshomaru thought he had done something wrong. She flung herself into his arms. She hugged him as hard as she could. He hugged her back more gently.

"I will." She whimpered into his clothing. A wave of relief flowed though him like a dam had just broken. A grin graced his lips. He knew from this point on, he would never let her go. He closed his eyes and took in her floral scent. Calm and content with her in his arms.

Rin calmed her tears and smiled. She loved Sesshomaru so much and all she wanted was to be with him. For the rest of her life. She knew now that he loves her too. He wants to stay by her side like she did him.

Rin finally pulled back after a long, loving embrace so she could look into her favorite set of eyes. She marveled how beautiful his face was when he smiles. She pulled her legs underneath her so she could sit on her knees. She sat up and slowly wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's neck. Never losing their eye contact. She was so close to him. Mere inches from the lips she wanted to kiss since the day she met him.

Sesshomaru followed her movements through her eyes. Not wanting to look away from her beautiful milk chocolate orbs. Her fingers touched his neck. So gently, like a butterfly perched on a flower's petals. He felt a serge of pleasure from her touch jolt through his body. He placed his hands on Rin's hips.

The dress she wore unintentionally raise on her legs. Sending a whiff of her arousal to hit his nose. His stomach tightened. He was making her feel this way. A wave of pride and love filled his heart. She is attracted to him. He could have only wished for such a perfect female to have come along. Beautiful, caring, innocent, and she loved him.

'Rin is perfect for me.' He thought as he closed the distance between their lips. Rin closed her eyes as she felt his breath fan over her mouth. As if he was scarred to break her, Sesshomaru softly touched his lips to Rin's. His eyes rolled into the back of his head. Rin pushed herself closer to his body and kissed him slightly harder. She wanted more.

Sesshomaru felt her urges to continue and wrapped his hand firmly around her back. Holding her tightly to him. She moaned lightly into their kiss. Sesshomaru growled in almost a purr. The vibration in his chest passed into Rin's and sent a chill of pleasure down her spine. Her arousal spiked.

Sesshomaru smelt the wave of pleasure. He clinched her dress fabric in his fists. A small piece of the cloth tore. His eyes shot open. He pulled back from her kiss and released her from his hold. He looked away from her confused gaze. With her arms still holding his neck, she tried to look into his face, but he wasn't having it. She was surprised, confused and scared. What had she done wrong? He seemed to like it when she kissed him.

"Hey." She whispered gently, a little shaken. "What's wrong?" Sesshomaru could hear the shakiness in her question. He looked up to her face like she wanted. She saw his face looked ashamed. Her questioning look made him feel as though he had to explain.

He looked away again. "I'm sorry Rin. I shouldn't force you into these situations. It's too early for me to lose control of myself with you. I don't want you to regret your decisions in this moment." He told her. Rin smiled, placing a hand on his cheek and forcing him to look at her.

"I don't see you forcing me into anything." She assured him. She kissed him again softly then hugged herself to his chest. He put his arms around her. "But if you want to slow things down, I can do that for you." She said. Sesshomaru grinned and hugged her close to him.

The two sat together on her bed for a while before deciding to begin the transfer of her things to his room. Their room. Sesshomaru kissed her forehead before standing and exiting the room.

Rin let herself fall back on her bed. Her flowing brown hair slipping across the sheets. She felt blissful. She now had the love she had always wanted. She sat up and walked over to her dresser. A mischievous smirk on her face. She slipped out of her room and into the next room, Sesshomaru's room, with a fresh pair of panties in her hand. She quietly shut the door behind her. She wanted him so badly. Even though she said she would slow down, she couldn't help but tempt him with her scent.

She snuck over to the bed. She slipped off her soiled panties off and put the fresh ones on. Knowing Sesshomaru had an excellent nose, she placed her fluid covered ones in his nightstand drawer. As quickly and quietly as she was in his room, she was out. Back in her own, waiting for his return. He did shortly after she sat back down on her bed. She smiled at him sweetly. He had his usual guarded expression back in place, but she knew better.

He had brought a few servants with him. They rushed into the room and began to gather up her things from around the room. It was now late afternoon and Rin's stomach growled furiously. Sesshomaru was holding out a hand to help her up a second later.

"They can finish this and we will return later." He said. She accepted his hand to help her stand and walked with him to the dining room. Rin held his hand as they walked. She loved the feel of his strong hand molded around her small one. She was happy. Happy she was his and he was hers.
