Rin woke to the smell of food. She yawned, stretched, then opened her eyes to morning sunlight coming in from the large window. Sitting up, she blinked the haziness away to find herself alone. Sesshoumaru was not there. The smell of bacon and toast grew stronger. Her stomach gurgled. Could he be the one cooking? She lightly chewed her bottom lip. Would he care if she came into the kitchen and got something while he was in there? Sighing, she flipped the soft comforter to the side and slid out of the large comfy bed. With quiet steps, she padded downstairs to her room to change, faintly hearing voices and wondering who it was while shutting the bedroom door.
On her bed lay a large cloth bag and by the bag, lying on the pillow next to Teddy was a small panda bear. Rin picked up the stuffed bear then smoothed its black and white fur. "Where did you come from?" She smiled and placed it back where it had been keeping Teddy company. "I think I'll call you Pandy." She began looking through the new bag, finding clothes and underwear. "Wonder who brought all this?"

Sesshoumaru sat at the table while Kaede moved about the kitchen; cooking then cleaning as she did so. "I am taking Rin to my father's for a few days."
The older woman paused before sliding scrambled eggs onto a plate that already had bacon and toast. "Do you think it wise to do so? Should she not be resting? From what little you have related to me of the past two days and how close you both came to leaving this world, should you not both be resting and healing?"
"My father's sword revived us both. All of her wounds have healed. She is fit for travel."
Kaede set the plate of food and a glass of juice on the table in front of an empty chair as she sat in a chair next to it. "Yes, her wounds and body have healed but her emotions and mental state are most likely highly unstable. If it wasn't for you and Rin's unfinished bond, I would place her in a home for abused teens with people who could help her cope with all the turmoil going on inside her mind and heart: A place where she could get the heathcare she needs with professionals who know how to deal with victims of rape and violence. But to save her life, she needs to be with you until that bond is sealed." She reached into a bag on the floor then placed three books on the table. "I have brought some books for you to read. These will hopefully help you understand how to relate to Rin. They are subjects regarding human female mates and also information on young girls who have been abused by family members. Please read them, Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru didn't look at the books. "I admit I do not know much of humans and their ways. Nor do I know anything of Rins emotions or how to heal them. But I do know that I will protect my mate. Whatever Rin needs I will provide. Your efforts of assistance are duly noted."
Kaede sighed but did not retrieve the books. "I will leave them here. If perchance you change your mind."
Just as Sesshoumaru was about to protest Kaede's interference in his life, he sensed Rin's presence entering the room. The young female came through the kitchen door wearing a long, sleeveless off white lacy dress that fell just above her knee and white sandals. She had her long brown hair pulled back and tied with a white ribbon. Instantly, his glanced at his mark partially hid by the modest neckline then looked away as a unfamiliar heat flushed his cheeks.
The girl gave him a cautious glance as she hurried to the old woman and embraced her. "Kaede!"
Kaede patted her arm. "Its good to see you, child." She gently nudged Rin to sit down at the table in front of the food. " I made you some breakfast. You should eat."
Rin began eating. "Will you be here awhile?"
"No, child. I must leave soon. I do believe you and Sesshoumaru will be taking a trip today."
She paused in mid chew, swallowed, then glanced from him to the old woman. "A trip?"
Sesshoumaru stood from the table. "Yes, we will be leaving in one hour. Pack some clothes. we will be gone for a few days." He left the kitchen and headed to his room to pack.
---------------------
Rin watched Sesshoumaru leave before frowning at her plate. Where were they going? She felt Kaede's gentle pat once more. "Do not worry, child. I believe Sesshoumaru's intentions are to introduce you to his family." Rin picked up the buttered toast slowly, almost lost in thought. "He wants to introduce me? I..."
"What's the matter, Rin?"
Rin didn't know how to put her worry into words. "What if... what if they don't like me?"
Kaede's warm arm embraced her shoulders. "They will like you, child. Now hurry up and eat. You have some traveling to do and you don't want to start off on an empty stomach."
