Kai watched and listened to their confessions of for each other. It made him angry.

"I will fight him. My demon strengths developed early. I also am one of the best warriors of all of the clans. Fighters lessen than me have killed dog demons so can I. I want her to be mine, my mate." he thought.

He quickly turned away from the couple to look behind him, he had heard footsteps. He smelled the air and caught the scent of a toad demon. No threat to him, it was moving away from him. Even though he wasn't looking at Rin and Sesshomaru he still ehard the words he was waiting to hear come from the dogs' mouth.

"My Lady, I will be honored if you become my mate."

When Rin heard these words come from Sesshomarus' lips her heart fluttered. His mate, he wanted her to be with him as his Lady, his woman. The one to live by his side always, the one to love him and have his children. His one and only mate.

"Rin lets get married the human way."

He didn't really want to but he thought it would be best for her. Also he didn't want to hurt her.

"No."

"No, you don't want to marry me?"

"No I don't want to marry you the human way. I want to marry you the youkai way. This is for me as much as it is for you and i want you to be happy as well, so pleeeease!!"

"We will have it your way."

She knew what was to come and she spent the last 3 years training herself. To run faster than most humans and how to evade a demons tracking abilities. She turned towards him as he growled loudly letting any and all youkai in the area know of his intent. Also calling forth any challengers for her hand. He listened to the demons flee the forest but two. Jaken and Kai.

Kai suddenly came forth as the challenger to Rins' horror. She had thought of him as a friend not a potential mate. He jumped across the river brandishing his sword.

"I'm your challenger for this woman."

"Kai please don't fight him. You will be killed. Leave it be."

Sesshomaru moved Rin out of harms way as Kai was advancing upon him. He moved out of the way so fluidly anyone would have thought Kai was a lesser youkai.

"I will not leave without her. She will be my mate!" Kai yelled.

Several minutes past and Sesshomaru continued to dodge Kais' attacks. In truth Sesshomaru was playing with him but it was growing old,Kai thought so also.

"Let's stop playing shall we. My panther against your inu, now."

Kai transformed into his beast but Sesshomaru didn't; it would be over in a moment and he didn't need to wast his energy on him. Kai dove at him, swiping at him with his claws but he never struck. Sesshomaru assessed that he was just showing off his power and not even realizing he was spending his strenght too quickly. He kept moving knowing from experience a young warrior such as Kai will slow soon because he was not patient or of equal status as he. Being in the demon form put his power in overdrive and being really young Kai didn't harnass his power he just let it flow wildly in this form.

Kai struck out at Sesshomaru over and over again still never making purchase.

"He is getting tired and with transform back to conserve enrgy." Sesshomaru thought.

Sure enough he did just that.

Rin on the other hand was getting very bored and very annoyed as she watched. Soon she just laid down on a log watching them. She sighed. Rin knew that Sesshomaru was just wearing Kai down
and he never struck out there wasn't any reason to. If this kept up any longer she would go to sleep but she kept watch anyways hoping they would actually get to finish their marriage sometime that night. After a few more minutes Kai nicked him on the collarbone, just barely breaking the skin. Rin saw and couldn't help but gasp aloud.

Sesshomaru felt the sting of the cut and put his hand to the area. He pulled back and saw blood then heard Rins' gasp. He saw red first he was cut and second Rin knew and was upset. His Youkai flared, enough was enough. The boy hadn't realized that he has already been beaten. He grabbed Tensaiga and swung, flinging his opponents sword from his hands and swiftly pinned him down.

"Yeild boy, you have been beaten. I will spare your life for Rin will not wish for me to kill you. The sword I hold on you gives life, now yeild for my other takes life. Do you yeild?"

Through gritted teeth Kai bitterly snarled, "Yes."

Sesshomaru let him up and made his way towards Rin. She lept up to run into his arms and saw Kai leave. She leaned back to look at his collarbone and saw nothing but a little blood. Rin pulled him down to her level to kiss the area and then pulled him towards the river. She took off her obi, wet it to clean off the blood. When he was clean she cleaned off her obi and replaced it . Finally they can get to their mating. Rin looked up at him and kissed him on the mouth slow and full of hunger, she pulled away to say..

"Are you ready My Lord?"

Authors note: I know it is rather short but i wanted to seperate the fight and the lemon. The next chapter I promise will be longer.
