The Matchmakers

I do not own Inuyasha

Day 4 Sess part 1

Aizen Myoo appeared in the forest. It was such a nice day. He sat down in front of a tree. Before long Gekka-O appeared "So how are the necklaces coming along?"

"They are coming along fine. They will be ready when needed." Gekka-O chose to sit down across from Aizen-Myoo. "How goes your business?"

"Do you have any idea how tiring it is to make a demon lord fall in love?" Aizen-Myoo frowned at Gekka-O when he heard him laugh. "He is very strong. Mentally and physically. The only weakness he seems to have is his human ward. She is helping all she can but the majority of it is still left up to us."

"How goes your dream magic?" Gekka-O smiled at Aizen-Myoo. He had always enjoyed that game.

"That part is going fine. I don't think they will have any problem in that area. One good thing is we have his youki on our side. It would make the girl his mate today if it could." Aizen-Myoo leaned over and plucked a flower from the group growing beside him. "It would be nice if we could find a way to get them to court her."

"But is he ready for that? We can't have him hurting her." Gekka-O leaned back against the tree and closed his eyes to think.

"The only time he seems open to any thought of her is at night when he dreams.
And after last night I don't know when he'll go back to sleep." Aizen-Myoo twirled the flower in his hands.

"I thought you said the dream magic was going good." Gekka-O opened one eye and looked at his friend.

"Get that smirk off your face. I told you the dream magic worked. But it may have worked too well. I will be lucky if he sleeps sometime in the next month." Aizen-Myoo crossed his arms and leaned back against the tree glaring at Gekka-O.

"Well if they can't court in the real word what about the dream world?" Gekka-O watched as Aizen-Myoo suddenly set up straight.

Aizen-Myoo stood up and held the flower out in front of him. "I have an idea." With that he disappeared.

"I hope it is a good one." Gekka-O leaned back against the tree and fell to sleep.

Aizen-Myoo appeared in Sesshoumaru's garden. Now all he had to do was wait for the girl.

Rin awoke and dressed then she walked to the dinning room to find Sesshoumaru already seated and as usual drinking tea. "Good morning Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin smiles at him and took her seat beside him.

"Hello Rin" Sesshoumaru watched as the servant brought the child her food. "You have studies this morning Rin."

"Sesshoumaru-sama can Rin go the garden before Rin starts studying?" She looked up at him with her big brown eyes filled with hope.

Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin and almost groaned. How am I suppose to say no to her when she looks at me like that? He sighed, the child won again. "For a little while but you must promise not torture Jaken when he is teaching you." He saw Rin frown at the second part but she must have thought that the first part would be worth it. He was rewarded with another of the Child's bright smiles. One of these days he would have to learn to say no to her. But today obviously was not it.

Rin finished eating then rose from the table and gave Sesshoumaru a hug. "Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama" Then she turned and ran outside.

Sesshoumaru nodded to Eijiro and the captain followed Rin outside.


Rin ran around the garden until she came upon a section that she did not remember. She stopped and watched in wonder at the beautiful flowers in front of her. She had never seen such pretty flowers before. They were white and had large petals. She bent down and inhaled the wonderful scent coming from them.
She went to pick one and fell back when a man appeared before her. She looked around her for Eijiro. He was leaning against a cherry tree and didn't seem to see the man. Rin turned back and faced the unknown man.

"Do not worry child I mean you no harm." Aizen-Myoo watched as the girl looked at him with curiosity. "I believe you met a friend of mine yesterday."

"Yes pretty lady came to see Rin. Is she the one you talk about?" Rin smiled at the man.

"That would be her. You helped us yesterday and we would like for you to help us again." He watched the girl as she thought this over.

"How can Rin help you." She looked at him with some doubt on her face. "Rin can see no changes in Sesshoumaru-sama yet. Rin would really like to have Kagome for her okaa-san and Shippou for a brother. Rin gets lonely here. No one will let Rin play with the other children." Rin looked over her shoulder
at Eijiro. He still hadn't moved but he was watching her more closely now.

"Do not worry child. He can't hear or see me. Only you can. He can how ever hear you so you might want to whisper." Aizen-Myoo watched as the girl nodded.

"What did you need Rins help with this time?" Rin watched the man point to the flowers.

"I need you to pick enough of these flowers to fill a vase and then put the vase in Sesshoumaru's room. Do you think you can do that?" He watched her eyes light up at this then they again grew wary. "What is wrong?"

"You are not going to hurt Sesshoumaru-sama are you?" Rin frowned at this thought.

"No child. I will be honest with you. They will make him sleep for a little while and that is it. No harm will come to him. And hopefully when he wakes up he will be ready to make Kagome your okaa-san." He laughed when Rins eyes widened at this. "It may take a couple of days for him to wake up so do not worry about him if it does. My friends and I will ensure that no harm comes to him while he is sleeping."

Rin nodded her acceptance to this and started picking the flowers. "Rin hopes you need a lot of these pretty flowers." Rin picked enough flowers and to fill her arms before she turned and nodded to the man and went into the castle. She found an empty vase and arranged the flowers in it until they all fit. She carried the heavy vase to Sesshoumaru's room and set it on a table by the balcony doors. The flowers made his room smell so sweet. She turned and left the room before anyone saw her leave and she would get into trouble. She ran down the hall to find Jaken to begin her studies.

Aizen watched the girl place the flowers on the table and leave the room. He smiled and walked over to them. He moved his hand and removed the spell from the flowers. Then he disappeared.

Sesshoumaru returned to his chambers and the first thing he noticed was the vase of flowers. The gardener must have found a new type of flower somewhere. He didn't remember seeing them in his garden before. Trust Rin to find them. He didn't think any flower was safe from her small hands. Their scent was a little strong but that should die down after a while. He walked to the chair that sat by the
balcony door and sat down. After last night he really didn't want to go to sleep. It had taken him most of the morning to recover from that dream. He still found it difficult to believe that a lowly ningen could excite him so much. Even if it was a dream. For some reason it had felt so real.

"That is because you desire her."

"I do not. It must be because of you and your feeling toward the girl."

"You can't blame me I have no control over your dreams and you know that."

"You must have found a way."

"Why can't you just face the truth. You care for the girl."

"Why can't you just leave me alone."

"I may have no control over your dreams but that doesn't mean that I don't know what they are about and that dream last night was so nice."

Sesshoumaru rubbed his head he should have known better than to take a break. It seems that every time he got a free minute to think his youki had to tell him what he thought.

"Is that what you call it. I would not call it nice. It took me most of the morning just to get the dream out of my head and my body to settle down. It was painful on both counts. I do not want a repeat of that adventure again." Not if he didn't get his release taken care of before he awoke at least.

"Why do you persist in this argument. If you do not claim her then some other youkai might. That wolf prince Kouga would take her to mate if your brother doesn't first. Would you like to see her with either of them." His youki smiled when he heard the growl that Sesshoumaru emitted.

"They will not touch the girl. I will protect her from their advances."

"Why would you do that if you do not like her?"

"Fine, I find the girl interesting and she is somewhat passable for a hanyou. But that does not mean that I plan to take the girl as my mate. But neither will I allow anyone else too till I make up my mind." Sesshoumaru rose from the chair and started out the door. He reached his bed and before he could stop himself he fell onto it fast asleep.
