Fireash: I am back. And I got more reviews. *all choked up* You guys don't know how happy
that makes me. And just for you I will make a long chapter. :D

VampirePrincessMiyu: Glad you like the story. Yes I am a very happy person when I get
reviews. I hope I will get better at writing as I go along in the story.

punkSESHOUMARU/Rin-rocker: Hopefully I will get better as the story progresses. Hope that
the future lemon won't be a disappointment. No college is easy so far. I just started. Sorry I just
love cliff hangers. I will try to make this one longer.

ANIMEluverFREAK: Glad you like the cliff hangers. I like them too. Just to warn you it will
take a while for him to admit his deep feelings even to himself but he will let her know that he
cares for her.

HIEIdude411CHICK: No problem. At least it was a review. I was happy. Thanks for reviewing
again.

Sesshoumaruluver#1: Of course I read your review. I am starving for them. I am just glad I
haven't gotten flamed. I know some people don't approve of the rin/sess pairing. I think it
makes since that he would choose her being as she made him feel.

Thanks for all the reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys :D

Disclaimer: Sigh nope don't own them. Wish I did.

Chapter 7
The Melting

‘Think of me?' Those words still haunted him years later. They were in his dreams and

they tortured him while he was awake. Three little words made his body tremble and his blood

boil. The dreams weren't helping him cool off. They got more intense each night. Sesshomaru

tried to tell himself that he didn't need her...didn't want her, but his inner voice told him

different. Now that he was finally old enough and was able to choose a mate he couldn't help but

do as he promised. He hadn't stopped thinking of Rin. There was a strange feeling in his chest

as well. It appeared once he left the east. It turned almost painful as time passed. Once Jaken

commented on his appearence... "My lord, are you feeling well? You look a little pale." "Jaken,

I do not get sick. What ails me doesn't concern you." He finally admitted to himself that he

missed Rin. He wanted her and he wanted her now. ‘Rin will be mine.' "Jaken, prepare to

leave." "Yes my lord. And where will we be heading?" "The east." "At once my lord." Jaken

replied keeping his knowing smile to himself.


Back in the east Rin waited with anticipation till the time Sesshomaru was old enough to

choose a mate. She had rejected many suitors trying to win her affection. She only wanted one

demon. She wanted the one that claimed her dreams. She had loved him when she was a child

and that love has only grown. All others compared to him were merely shadows. Rin asked her

mother to train her to become a lady. If she was chosen by Sesshomaru she would want to make

him proud of her. Over time she learned grace and refinement that couldn't be rivaled. She will

be a proper lady for her lord. ‘I will wait forever for you Sesshomaru, but please don't make me

wait too long' she smiled.


Sesshomaru pace quickened as he approached Sun-Lin's castle. The Lord of the East

came out to greet him. "Welcome back Lord Sesshomaru. Is there anything I can do for you?"

he grinned. "I wish to talk to Rin. I am sure you have guessed why by the smile on your face."

he replied. "She is where she always goes. Rin is in the garden waiting for you. Although you

don't need it you have my approval." and with that he moved out of his way.


Sesshomaru didn't waste any time. Using his speed to his advantage he was there in a

matter of seconds. He didn't think she could get more beautiful but she proved him wrong. Rin

smiled at his quick intake of breath. She bowed low before him. "Lord Sesshomaru, I have

waited for your return." Rin wasn't expecting declarations of undying love she knew

Sesshomaru too well. Just the fact that he was here was enough for her. "Rin..." he walked

closer to her, "will you be my mate?" He unknowingly held his breath. She noticed this ‘does he

really think I'd refuse?' "Yes, I will."she smiled as he let out breath. Wanting to know if his

dreams held truth he leaned down to kiss her. The pain left his chest as a warmth spread through

his body. It felt so right. He pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. The warmth turned to fire.

Soon he was forced to come up for air. "Not here. Let's go home." Rin was lost in his eyes.

They had clouded with his desire. She didn't know if she could move. The kiss had left her

weak. Rin managed to nod her head in agreement.


As they entered the hallway, they came across another suitor. "Lady Rin, I have chosen

you as a mate." This made the taiyoukai cross. ‘How dare he be so confident.' "I have chosen a

mate. You will have to find another." The suitor was not easily deterred. "You mean him? He

is barely of age and only has one arm. How can he protect you? He obviously is weak or he

wouldn't have lost." Sesshomaru merely raised his eyebrow. ‘How ignorant. He has never

heard of me. No matter he die for his ignorance.'he smiled. Rin noticed the smile. It was the

one he wore before he killed something. She felt kinda sorry for the other demon.


"Fine, if you do not care for your life then I shall challenge you." With that Sesshomaru's

eyes turned blood red as his smile got bigger.
