Rins' POV


(One month later)

The first month in the Western lands was horrid. I remember the day we arrived. Sesshomaru had made sure that I worn the right kimono, it was one that represented his house. He had it made for me just before we arrived, it was a females kimono replica of his. Before we went to his castle we stopped to rest in a village, he paid for me to have a bath and to have ladies help me look the part of a lady of the court. I went in looking like a wild child and came out looking completely different. A Lady.

I made sure that the helpers didn't use any scented soaps or oils, just plain, hot water and unscented soap. I dressed in the kimono and pulled my hair high into a ponytail. The ladies in the room gasped loudly as I did this and began to whisper. I heard their whispers.

"She's a demons lover."

"I heard that she is the Lords' new mate."

There was several other things they had to say and I just beamed at them, they had seen his mark and I displayed it proudly. They could talk I didn't care. I noticed they watched me leave the chamber and how they reacted when I returned with the toothbrush Kagome had given me. They acted like children being caught stealing. They didn't want me to overhear what they had been saying. I could care less what they thought of me, I was happy. Clean body and mouth, I was happy. These women couldn't put a damper on my mood.

He was happy, too. I was done and we could go. He always hated being in human villages, I understood I didn't like being in the villages either. The second I had come out of the bathing house he buried his face in my neck and sniffed there and my hair.

"Just plain soap, which will fade leaving your natural and delectably alluring scent."

He paid the ladies and carried me to set me on Ah-Un. I was so nervous about seeing his mother. Sesshomaru had told me to calm down and kissed my forhead, I did slightly calm. It took us about 20 minutes to reach his palace, he had sent Jaken ahead to announce his arrival. He was helping me down when Jaken came running and squeaking back to us.

"My Lord your Lady mother knew you were returning and has organized an all female get together." he said timidly.

I saw his mood change from happy to down right pissed off. In that moment I was glad I had never ever invoked this kind of reaction from him or had ever been on the receiving end of his wrath. Our homecoming was not a happy one. He was angry, Jaken was scared, and I was furious. I was sure that his mother had heard rumors of him taking a mate and had probably decided to marry him off to some demoness. She had probably thought that he was looking for a mate so she would "help" him decide from her friends daughters.

He could see my mood; it was very apparent with the expression on my face. My face was slightly red, my eyes were narrowed, and my lips were taunt. He chuckled at me and kissed me, he didn't like the frown on my face and decided to be rid of it.

"I will never leave you for another. No matter who she is."

"Good. Now I have a surprise for you and I will tell you inside."

I had something to tell him, even though I was sure he might have a hint that I was different. When we went in I hung back til I thought it was right to reveal myself. I wanted to tell those witches in that room I was his mate and they didn't have a chance in hell now of getting him. He knew I wanted to do this.

The moment he went into the room he was greeted by his mother and surrounded by all those tramps. A couple of them said something that shocked me a little. Of all the audacity. And they say that humans are bad and have no morals.

"You smell of human, My Lord." one said stating the obvious.

" We'll take care of that later after you rest." another said.

That's when I made my appearance. I had to clear my throat twice before his mother even realized I was there.

"You girl are the one. My son is coated in your scent. Remove yourself your services are no longer required." she declared.

I couldn't help it, I really couldn't. I laughed at her, she thought I would actually listen to her. She glared at me, I saw where Sesshomaru got the eyes that glared death from, her. I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw a small prideful smirk had graced his lips.

"How dare you have the audacity to laugh when I speak. Don't you know who I am you filthy ningen?" her voice was icy.

"I know who you are, I'd have to be blind not to. I do have the audacity and no I am not removing myself. I have more rights to be here than they do."

I was pointing to all those tramps surrounding my mate. I stomped over to them and shoved a few out of the way, getting to my mate.

"If you Ladies do not mind get off "My Mate."

They snarled at me as I yanked him from their grasps. When he was free he put his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I leaned up to whisper in his ear.

"We're having a pup."

All that were present gaped at him as he hugged me . He was happy, calm, and smiling. Him smiling was still unconceivable. He then picked me up and left the room, leaving very angry ladies in our wake. I looked up in his eyes, I could tell he saw the humor in what I had done. When I kept looking he looked down at me and I saw another emotion race through their golden depths, they were saying I Love You. He loved me.

Over the next month I was treated terribly by the ladies of the court,his mother, and even some of the staff except for Jaken; who went to get me some maids of my own. Only they were nice. I cried a few times, it hurt knowing that his mother hated me but atleast I had Sesshomaru, Jaken, and my maids who had also become close friends, and our growing pup. The pup wasn't even showing yet.

The one day he gave the maids off his mother and a couple of the ladies of the court cornered me in my garden. Her voice was so cold, she demanded to know what I had done to her son. they accused me of being a witch and placing under a spell, forcing him to love. She demanded me to release him because my supposed game needed to stop right then and there. They were beginning to frighten me so I did the only thing I could do I began yelling. He came running.

I was crying and scared hescooped me up and told his mother to leave. To go back to her land, I was the new Lady of the West. She knew it was futile to fight against him, she didn't have a hope of winning so she left. He told the ladies of the court where to visit his mother at and not to show their faces in his palace again. I was very grateful that they were gone and that I wouldn't ever have to see them again.

We had days of peace before we learned of the plans of the Panther Clan. Sesshomaru immediately made plans for me to leave but the Panthers were closing in on every side, sorrounding the lands. He showed me some hidden old passages through the walls that hadn't been used since he was a pup. He told me to go there when the seige started. Then one morning we walked out onto our balcony and there they were in the distance coming quickly to our home.

He told me to go as he put on his armor. I gave him a quick kiss before I left.

"Come back to me. Find me."

"I will find you."

I ran to the passages to hide; neither of us knew that I was the target, the objective of the whole assualt.

Even though I was safely hidden I could still hear the battle raging. It was like I was standing in the middle of it, only it was muffled. Occassionally I heard a strange snuffling sound and then some growling. There was some pounding on the wall up the hallway, I ran, someone knew I was there and it wasn't Sesshomaru. I knew I could lose them in the tunnels. Had been through them several times to memorize the way in and out orif there was any shortcuts.

I had to get away, I started shedding my clothes; first my getas so I wouldn't make noise. Soon I began throwing off layer after layer of kimono, I threw them in random directions to confuse whoever was in the tunnel. I had to stay away from whoever it was, I had to find Sesshomaru and I had to protect my pup.

I heard a loud noise behind me, I didn't even spare a glance, I just ran. The tunnels were like a labyrinth. I heard some frustrated snarling, the tunnels were doing their duty confusing anyone who came into them that didn't know where they were going. I had memorized every turn I had to make.

Straight, right, left, left, angle, up, right, down, then the catty corner crack that I had found. It was very small, almost small enough that I could barely fit. I knew that there was no way a man, human or demon could fit in there. It was a straight shot to the outside, it was a shortcut. If I had taken the original path it would take hours for me to get outside.

I finally saw who it was that was in there with me. It was through a crack that I saw Kai. I had wanted to speak to him but he was apart of the attack on my mate and was apparently here for me. I saw the light ahead of me and went to it. I came out at my garden and went straight to the woods. Kai was already in the garden calling me and went in my direction. I ignored him and kept running. I wasn't even watching where I was going and ran into the enemies reserve camp.

I realized then that kai had been herding me. My whole body beganto tremble uncontrolably, but they didn't come near her. Kai put his hands on my shouldes, I jerked away from him and ran into the arms of an older panther demon, screaming my head off. My scream was so loud and shrill they flinched and covered their ears. The demon put his hand over my mouth.

"Be quiet!" he hissed at me.

"You were right my son. I see why you thought she was nymph, small and beautiful with a voice of a siren. She is smart too. We had better move I can hear him coming." he told Kai.

I was so relieved my love had heard me and he was coming for me. My Sesshomaru would get me from them.

Authors Note: I decided to cut it here, give a little cliffhanger. I think I have enough left for one maybe two chapters. Read and Reveiw! Enjoy .
