Author's Note: Sorry I've not been posting for so long. I've gotten a lot busier than I was last week. I will continue with my story, and I will do it when Uki and Riki are older (after finishing up a few details of when they're younger). It just won't be posted once a day......expect more like a once a week now. If anyone else wants me to email them when I post, then email me at theshoelace_freak@yahoo.com and make sure to say who you are from adult-fanfiction.org and include The Life After so I know what the email's about. Then I will email you when I post. I will continue updating, but it will be far far less than it was when I first started. I've been a lot busier lately. I appologize that this chapter is so short. I hope you enjoy it. Once again, I am sooo sorry that I can't update as much.

Thanks: music for the masses- Thanks for all the compliments. The story will be continued, just not as often. I will continue emailing you when I post. I love your idea, and will indeed continue when they are older. Sorceressofthenight- I agree Sesshoumaru probably could take them home with him, but I just think that Uki would much more enjoy being with Riki. He'll probably spend occassional weeks with his father...and Riki will probably come with him. Just most of the time will be spent in Inuyasha's village. Kristen- Wow! i can't believe you read this so fast! Thank you! ^.^ I tried my hardest to let Sesshoumaru show his emotions, without losing his fearful edge. I agree with you as well, we will continue with Riki and Uki....just less often updates. I'm a little busier. And a Naraku-type demon is brilliant. ^.^ Thank you. Gemini- Yeah I know. Sesshoumaru would never hurt Rin when she was little. He loved her too much. I just couldn't stand that. Yes the story will continue! i keep saying that, but it's true! I'm gonna keep writing on here, just give me a few days to update. thatRandomgirl- Thank you for all your comments, it certainly was a lot to say all at once. lol. I tried to resolve everyone I could possibly think of, just look at Kirara and Shippo. THEY ARE SOOO CUTE! Note that in my details (thanks to a animegirl007 I added the OOC warning. So if you don't like that, don't argue with me, cuz there is a warning. On the other hand, yes, you're right. I was a bit hasty in putting those last chapters together. I just had so much I wanted to get down before I got sidetracked. Because I knew that this, like everythign else I do, I usually slow down or even stop after I lose my first burst of inspiration. I've been writing it on word, and it is 70 pages without the author's notes and thanks and such. And that was as much as my first burst of inspiration could get me through. So now I'm slowing down. The chapter's might be shorter, or maybe not. I'm not sure. But I'll keep updating, but expect more like one or two a month, because indeed my job has gotten more demanding and I have many things to do. But I do thank you for your suggestions. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Still, I know Sesshoumaru is (NOT RUTHLESS) but determined. Still, he was trying to be good for her and protect his domain. So THAT is why he did not get to her. He was saving people for her. That is the only thing that stopped him. His deep desire to please her. Besides, it would've ruined the story if he'd gotten to her too easily. Besides, despicable as Shen is, he did have a really good plan. Sesshoumaru was too proud to abandon his lands or ask for help. So there you go. ^.^ Anyway, thanks to all my fans. tty soon. Promise to update as soon as I can find time to write some more.

P.S. I've been really really bored lately.......so anyone who's a fan of Inuyasha and thinks Miroku is funny....especially anyone who knows anything about Kingdom Hearts, go to this link:

It was well after midnight, the moon was already sinking in the sky. The party was over, and everyone was yawning and shuffling towards their huts. Rin had told Ukiyomaru that he could spend the night with Riki. The boys were overjoyed. As they sat in Inuyasha's hut, they discussed, yet again, their great battle.

“And then Uki sees him hit Aunt Rin, and he gets all GRRRRR!!! And then SPHHHHOOOOSH!!! He grows into this giant dog thing!” Riki held his arms up.

“And then Riki jumped on my back, cause you told us about the poison, Uncle Inuyasha!” Ukiyomaru used one hand to represent himself, and his other jumped on to it.

“And then Uki got this GREAT IDEA!”

“And I didn't even have to say anything, which is good, cause I don't think I could, but Riki knew what I meant anyway.”

“And then Uki goes FWAP! and knocks him against this tree. And the wolf says,” here Riki made his voice sound deep and scary, “ 'What you gonna do? Slobber on me?!' But Uki's not scared! He bows his head, and the wolf's all, 'Ha! Even your son bows to me!' But Uki knew what he was doing!”

“And then Riki comes up out of nowhere! And he's got his pink arrow going, and says, 'Don't you touch our family, bastard!' and PHOOOOSH!!! PLUNKK!!! The arrow hits him right in the head! And then…”

At the same time they threw the arms out wide saying, “KABBOOOOOMMM!!! He explodes in this pink light!!!” They boys fell over laughing, Riki wincing slightly and clutching his wounded shoulder.

“Riki, honey, come here a second.”

“Aww, Mom!” he sighed, but went to her.

“We have to dress your wound again,” she held up bandages and herbs.

Riki sighed, wincing as she cleaned his injury. Ukiyomaru snuck up beside them, staring at the wound. “Wow!” he whispered, “Does it hurt? You're really brave, Riki!”

The older boy turned to face him, suddenly proud of his battle scars, “Nope! It's not that bad! I'm tougher than that!” he beamed, puffing his chest out.

Inuyasha shook his head and chuckled.


Sesshoumaru lay in the bed in Rin's hut. His hands were clutched over his ears. His head was pounding. He had withstood the noise and commotion for as long as he could, now he just wanted silence. Suddenly, he pulled his hands away from his ears and sat up. “Rin,” he shook her shoulder, “Rin! What is that?”

“What is what?” she sat up sleepily.

“That noise!!! What is it?!” he looked at her desperately.

“What noise? There is no noise. It's quiet.”

“Silence?” Sesshoumaru sighed deeply, and fell back into the pillows, “Finally.”

Rin giggled, rolling on top of him, “Aw. Was it too noisy for you?”

“Indeed. You try having dog's ears in this village; I don't know how Inuyasha and the boys stand it,” he wrapped his arms around her waist, “Kiss me.”

“What did I tell you about ordering me around,” Rin raised an eyebrow, smiling mischievously.

“I am a demon lord. Old habits die hard. Ordering people around is what I do. Now kiss me, my Rin. Or I shall kiss you myself.”

She turned her head proudly away from him with a “Hmph!”

“My darling, might I remind you that it has been three years since I have seen you?”

Instantly her lips were pressed against his, and her tongue searched his mouth ravenously. “Love me,” Rin pleaded against his lips.

“I do,” he whimpered back, “With every fiber of my being.” He wrapped his arms around her and flipped them so that she was beneath him. He used what was left of his strength to keep his weight off of her, and took over dominantly in kissing her while he tore off her clothes.

“I need you,” her brown eyes shook with love. Sesshoumaru's eyes glowed red as he saw the desire in her eyes. A ravenous hunger overwhelmed him; he wanted to take her and claim her forcefully. He shook his head, his eyes returning to their golden brilliance. He had been away too long, as love starved as he was, he would not hurt her. He would be gentle. Rin, however, was quite in agreement with his first thoughts. Her hands ran over his chest as she shoved the kimono he wore to the floor. He kissed her gingerly, enjoying the feel of her skin against his. It wasn't enough for her; she trailed her fingers down his stomach, grabbing his length playfully. He moaned helplessly as she pulled on him in a slow rhythm.

“Please, Rin,” his eyes were shut tightly, for he knew just one look in her eyes would make him lose all control, “It is taking everything in me to keep control of myself. If you continue to torture me, I make no promises of gentleness.”

“Look at me, Sesshoumaru.” Slowly and carefully he opened his eyes, as she had not stopped her tugs on his shaft. “I ask for no gentleness. Release yourself and take me.” Her need was as blinding as his own. The redness returned, taking over his eyes in a fury of passion. He couldn't hear anything but her voice, her scent overwhelming his senses. The only thing he knew was this desire. He pulled out of her hand, and shoved into her so completely that she almost came in that single motion. Rin cried out, her body shaking on the verge of complete pleasure. He shoved his mouth against hers, drowning out her scream as their tongues fought. He didn't close his eyes now; they glowed red and ravenous above her wild brown ones. He slammed into her with a demonic force that threatened to overwhelm both of them in seconds. Sesshoumaru's inner reason begged him to slow down, to make the moment last; but her eyes urged him not to break his speed. He was pounding into her so deeply, she was certain she would break. Rin had never felt such a complete mixture of pain and pleasure. “Sesshoumaru,” she breathed so silently, she wasn't entirely sure she had said it.

“Rin,” his voice shook, it was too much. The love in her voice sent him over. He slammed into her, releasing his seed and screaming her name.

She felt him come inside her, heard his cry, and was sent over herself, “SESSHOUMARUUUU!!!!!!!!”


Several houses away, Ukiyomaru sat up in bed rubbing his eyes. He could have sworn he had just heard his parent's names. No, it had probably just been a dream. He smiled over at Riki. He was so happy to have all of his family nearby; his father, his mother, and even his brother. Yes. No matter what anyone said, Riki was his brother. He inched closer to Riki. The older boy half opened one eye, and ruffled Ukiyomaru's hair, “Nite, Uki.”

“Nite, big brother.”

Riki chuckled, then returned to his sleep with a big smile on his face.


Sesshoumaru lay beside Rin, both of them facing the ceiling. They were panting deeply, and Sesshoumaru was bleeding again. Rin managed to push herself up. “You are more wonderful than I remember. I love you,” she turned to look in his eyes, “Sesshoumaru! You're bleeding again.”

“Oh?” he was smiling, his sharp teeth glinting in the candlelight. Sweat lay in a curtain over his body. His eyes were a mixture of gold and red, “I love you, Rin.”

Rin had bounded off of the bed, still naked, and was digging through the supplies Kagome had left for her. She pulled out some of the disinfectant and some more bandages. She crawled back onto the bed and began dressing Sesshoumaru's wounds again.

“I love you, Rin.”

“You just said that,” she giggled, looking concerned when he winced as she touched his wounds.

“Oh?” he asked again, completely delusional through his injuries, being completely worn out, and his passion for her, “I love you, Rin.” He smiled wider, brushing her hair out of her face.

“I love you, too, Sesshoumaru,” she began bandaging him.

“I think I have died.”

“What?!” Rin looked at him, fear and confusion in her eyes.

“I must have. I have died while fighting all those demons, and now I am in the afterlife. That it the only way that everything could be this perfect. Unh!” he clutched one of the wounds she had just finished cleaning.

“If you were dead, you would not feel this pain. You are alive, and you have found me. I promise,” Rin set aside the medicines and curled up against his chest.

“I won't hurt you again. I will be a good mate and a good father,” he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

“I know you will,” Rin smiled, drifting off to sleep, her cheek against his bare chest.

“I love you, Rin,” he said again, because he wanted to make sure she knew it. He would say it a thousand times, and then he would say it a thousand more. Whatever it took to prove that he was truly sorry. He fell asleep, dreaming only of Rin.
