Rin glanced at the backseat of the car where Teddy was nestled next to Pandy by her bags, making sure they were safe and sound before turning to look out the window of the car again. It had been nearly an hour since they had left the house and had passed a couple of small towns. The next town came up and it was a bit bigger than the last. She chanced a glimpse at Sesshoumaru while gripping a bit of her dress in her lap. His amber eyes were fixed to the road ahead, not seeming to notice her at all.
"What is it, Rin?"
Rin stared at her lap. "I need to go...to the bathroom."
He did not answer and Rin closed her eyes. He probably didn't care. Thankfully,  she had years of experience holding it.
Moments later they stopped at an outdoor shopping center. There were shops along the strip of cobblestone sidewalks. Not too far from their parking space was a walk in bathroom. Sesshoumaru got out of the car and opened her door. She stepped out of the car, surprised when he grasped her hand and gently pulled her along. "There is a bathroom here. I will be waiting outside the door for you to finish."
Rin paused at the women's bathroom door as Sesshoumaru let her hand go. She nodded once before going in. "Okay."
It didn't take long for her to finish and wash her hands. As promised, the youkai was waiting for her just outside the bathroom. She looked about. "Are we getting closer?"
Sesshoumaru began walking toward the parking spaces. "We are."
She followed behind him, chancing another question as they neared the car. "Are we going to visit someone?"
The dog demon stopped at the passenger side of the car then faced her, his calm gaze unreadable. "Yes. We are going to visit my father. He wishes to meet you. Are you ready to continue?"
Rin felt her mouth go dry. As Kaede had said, they were going to visit his family. "Yeah. I guess so."
He opened the car door and she got in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not too long after they had left the town, passing a few miles of trees, they stopped at a very wide concrete driveway. Before them was a large black iron gate with two stone dragons guarding each side of it. Sesshoumaru picked up what looked like a small black plastic car remote clicker. He pushed a button. It beeped and the iron gate opened. The concrete driveway seemed to go on forever as they passed an endless sea of perfectly tended green grass along with smoothly clipped rows of hedges and occasional mounds of colorful flowers. Finally they came to what looked more like a castle than a mansion. It was huge! Green ivy crept up the grey stone walls to curl around balconies covered with hanging red and pink roses. There had to be at least five rooms opening up to those balconies on the second floor. Near the great grey castle was a garden filled with flowers, fountains, and trees; their branches swaying in the light summer wind. The car stopped near the front door. Sesshoumaru stepped out. Gazing at the incredible site of such a place, Rin startled to attention when he opened the door.
Rin slowly got out of the car, wonderously taking in the splender. At that moment, the polished wooden door opened and she barely saw the ball of fur that nearly got to her before it was blocked by Sesshoumarus clawed grip. "Rin!" The ball of fur shouted. As it flailed in the tight hold, Rin realized who it was. "Shippo?" She grinned. "Shippo!"
She gave a pleading look to Sesshoumaru. With a irritated frown, he let go of the kitsune who immediately dove for her with a squeel then settled in her arms. "Inuyasha said you were coming! I've been waiting at the window!"
Rin hugged her little friend. "I missed you, Shippo."
A second later Inuyasha and Kagome came out and greeted her. In the commotion, Rin noticed that Sesshoumaru silently walked into the house.
If the outside had been grand, the inside did not disappoint. There was marble and luxurious furnishings everywhere along with a wide staircase that led up to the second floor. They entered a giant living room which had at least four soft looking couches, several wing backed chairs, a fireplace, paintings on the walls, and long navy blue drapes halfway covering the windows which let in the afternoon sunlight through the white sheer curtains underneath.
A maid came in and asked if she needed anything while Inuyasha led her to one of the couches. Rin shook her head but didn't speak. It was all a lot to take in. Sesshoumaru's family seemed extremely rich. What was she doing? She didn't belong here at all.
As if hearing her unspoken declaration, A dark haired woman wearing a light pink flowing dress adorned with red flowers  entered the living room. Waves of jet black framed her beautiful features and her warm smile matched the kind light in her eyes. "You must be Rin." Her tone sounded real and friendly. Something Rin was not accustomed to .
The pretty woman sat next to her on the couch. "I am so glad Sesshoumaru brought you here to visit."
Rin felt the heat of embarrassment in her cheeks as she let her gaze fall to her lap. " Nice to meet you." Was all she could muster to say just above a whisper.
"My name is Izayoi. I am Inuyasha's mother. My husband will be in shortly. I do believe he is in the study with Sesshoumaru. Are you tired from the trip? Would you like something to eat?"
Really, all Rin wanted at that moment was to hide under a rock. She was tired from the long ride but also more so from being so tensed up around Sesshoumaru for the entire ride there. "No. Im fine."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru entered the study to find his father at one of the shelves holding an open book.
His father turned a page. "I sense you have brought your mate. This is good. I have been eager to meet her."
With reserved indifference, Sesshoumaru spoke. "I brought my mate because I agreed to the meeting. Nothing more. She is waiting in the other room. Shall I bring her to you now?"
Inu no Taisho closed the book in his hands and turned to face him. "Yes."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rin looked up to see Sesshoumaru enter the room. He stopped next to the couch she was sitting on. The amber in his eyes was dark and distant. "My father wishes to see you now. Will you come with me?"
She gave him a slow nod. "Yes."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The walls of the room she followed Sesshoumaru in was lined with shelves of what looked like hundreds of books. The shelves even reached to the high ceiling. A tall ladder on the far wall reached all the way to the top. She nearly ran into him when he abruptly stopped. Slowly, she stepped out from around him to see a tall white haired youkai standing in the middle of the study. He was wearing a white dress suit and flowing overcoat. Both cheeks adorned a jagged mark, not like Sesshoumaru's finely outlined stripes. His clear amber eyes beheld her with silent warmth.
For several moments the youkai seemed to study her. Even though his gaze was quiet and almost kind, she couldn't help the rising feeling of awkwardness. Rin knew that she was not the kind of person he would want for his son. She was dirty: a filthy little whore:  No one in their right mind would want someone as damaged as her to become part of their family. A sudden weariness lulled her gaze to the floor. She was so tired.
"Greetings, young one."
Rin lifted her eyes back to the tall, handsome youkai. "Hello."
A small smile graced his features. "My name is Inu no Taisho. I am Sesshoumaru's father."
Rin bowed her head slightly. "My name is Rin."
A warm hand palmed her chin, making her look up to meet the amber depths. He smelled of night wind and summer flowers. "I see my son has chosen a very beautiful creature to be his mate."
At that Rins cheeks began to burn, unable to respond to such a direct compliment. Never in her life had anyone ever said that to her. She was speechless.
The warmth of his hand left her chin and his attention switched to Sesshoumaru. "I approve."
Without a word, Sesshoumaru turned to leave. Rin, not knowing what to do, bowed once to Sesshoumaru's father before hurriedly following after him.
