AN: Okay, I�ve got more than 199 reviews.
Can you fucking believe that?!
It�s so fucking strange-- I don�t think I�ve ever even gotten half of that on another story... hm. And the funniest part about it is, my old stories used to be more serious, but this one started out just being written to pass the time.
So I guess it�s thanx to everyone of those reviewers that this fic is up here (and this far along) cause I sure as hell wouldn�t have continued it without you! -- If you�re enjoying it, give yourselves a pat on the fucking back-- you deserve it!
Lol, okay, so I have been fairly busy lately with Christmas, Boxing day, and the soon-to-arrive new years (which, in my opinion, are placed too close together) and that�s why I didn�t get the chance to respond to people last time, so this time I�ll cut out of my ranting a bit (I think) and respond to the people from last chapter and this one:
(And btw, those little / at the beginning of the last chapter used to be / christmas trees, but I guess the computer is a bit of a scrooge and decided to destroy them...)
THIS IS GONNA BE LONG, SO IF YOU DON�T HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON YOUR HANDS, YOU BETTER JUST SKIP AHEAD TO THE STORY (Though do NOT skip the disclaimer *Glares warningly*)

To Reviewers from Chapter 11

-inufangirl007 - Yeah, can you just see those two sitting in a little room with some idiot phsychologist asking them to talk about their feelings? I can�t. But I don�t much like physchologists anyway. Did they ever consider that maybe I want to be this way? That maybe I like the little voices in my head? *sighs* sometimes life can be so depressing. ^_^
-Lill - That�s a good question. Who here wouldn�t love my story?
-Kiara - Merry Christmas to you, and it�s good to know that some people are enjoying Rin. I am not sure people will go for the description I have of her because I altered her ever-so-slightly (come on, she�s like 15, did you really think she�d stay the same and have that weird ponytail of hers?) and a lot of people actually tend to spaz out over things like that.
-uzamaki liliana - I celebrate Christmas. I�m glad you�re enjoying the story so much, but now I have to ask, what�s with all the 3�s and +? Computer error, or is it some kind of strange code? ^_^
-Chibi-Porunga - Really? You mean even better than the mating one? Lol. And I don�t necessarily hate beta�s or editors or anything-- they�re fine for the people who need them and like having other people alter their work-- but it�s just not something I have any personal tolerance for.
-Deity - Well I�m glad you decided to take a peek, cause that means one more reviewer for me, and all the more updates for you! ^_^ -- I don�t know how well you can write because I haven�t read any stories by you and I try to avoid reading other peoples stories when I�m writing my own. Strange, maybe, but it sometimes helps to avoid plagiarizing other people. �To Steal from one is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.�
-Weathered - Wow, you must have sat in front of the screen for hours. And that�s not including the story!
You find this story amusing... hm. With Inuyasha about to maybe get raped by Naraku, and all the other shit that�s happened so far... well, whatever floats your boat, as I said, I am only here for your guys� entertainment (and I know I said that!) ^_^
- Karoustalker30 - Holy shit. You talk almost as much as I do! (Lol, jj. Nobody talks as much as me!) Well, since they were so long, I may have to split up my responses. We�ll just have to see.
Chapter 8 - Lol, I kinda liked the idea of Sesshomaru saying that to Inuyasha. Not the dirtiest thing in the world, but definitely effective, neh? Sorry if I made you fail your final (and about the nosebleed), but it�s good to know that I can have such an effect on people. *Grins evilly* (Let�s see what else my evil made can come up with). Yeah, I know onegai shimasu (or however you spell it) is really the more proper term for �I beg of you� but it�s a lot of work to type for a lazy person like me, and I have seen onegai used in the context of �I beg of you�. Can�t remember where, but I have seen it... And don�t feel bad about being a pervert-- isn�t everyone on this website more than a little bit hentai?
Chapter 9 - Lol, I wasn�t aware I had taken a role reversal with them-- I really can never tell with my writing when I�m doing one thing or the other-- but I�m glad you liked it nonetheless. As to Leiko, I�m afraid I have absolutely no idea-- maybe somebody else as a clue: DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF LEIKO MEANS ARROGANT? There, if anybody who knows is reading this rant of mine, we should have the answer soon enough. Don�t worry about going off topic, I do it all the time. Unfortunately for the people I�m talking to, I usually go very often and quickly, and when I go, I really go, and very rarely can I ever remember the way back. ^_^
Chapter 10 - Well, this may sound strange, but I still think Christmas should be about Christ. I don�t personally care if nobody celebrates it to be about Christ, but when people try and change it to become just another random holiday, that bugs me, because me and my family have always celebrated it as more of the Jesus�s birthday than just random exchanging of gifts. If people want to have a day where they just randomly exchange gifts, fine by me, but do it on a different day, or don�t try and alter ours. We had it first after all. Lol, that sounded really religious and all that, but, like I said, I will very firmly defend any and all arguments I have. No, you don�t see a lot of people saying that, but you don�t see a lot of people saying on St. Valentines day �Hey, this is the day that guy married that couple� or whatever, or walking around calling Halloween �All souls day� or �All Hallows eve�. I�m not sure what my point was there, so maybe you should just ignore that last part... (hope you got your game, btw)
I�m glad you liked this scene so much, and I hope you got some new circuits for your brain in case I have to write another chapter like that. ^_^. Yeah, I thought Inuyasha being, not only a hanyou, but also ever-so-slightly naive in these sorts of traditions, wouldn�t quite understand what was happening at first when Sesshomaru bit him, and, let�s face it, when would Inuyasha ever let Sesshomaru (or anyone for that matter) bite him without kicking some serious ass.
Chapter 11 - Yeah, Naraku means hell, and Oni means devil. Since that�s the first part of the name Onigumo, I would have thought his name had something to do with that (though I�m probably wrong, someone did say once that it meant Devil�s servant, so...) Anyway, I was unsure what Kanna�s name meant (hope I didn�t put anything stupid-- if anything at all) Yeah, Sesshomaru�s name is pretty chaotic, but, in a nutshell, I�m pretty sure it means something like �Destruction of the circle of life�. Did I ask about Izayoi?... Oh yeah, I did, didn�t I, now I remember. Thanks, but are you certain it doesn�t mean stomaching the nice or whatever the hell I had there? (lmao, you don�t have to answer that if you don�t want to) New moons? New moons, new moons... well, we�ll see if I�ve got any new moons in me... wow, that was a really strange statement (lol)... but if there is, it won�t be for a while yet probably. Definitely not this (or next) chapter anyway.
Chapter 12 - Oh. Well I guess it doesn�t really matter, I don�t actually say the word that often either, because, lets face it, either no one�s going to know what you�re talk about, or you�re going to get slapped in the face. If I ever have the need to say it, though, I�m just going to stick with �ya-o-e� and hope I don�t sound like a fool (though there�s really nothing new there). What a coincidence, I�ve got way too much fucking time on my hands too. Luckily enough, I let it run off into the keyboard so I can type this stuff out. ^_^
I love their arguements too (even if it�s about Kagome and the bitch always sits poor Inuyasha-- I�d like to Osuwari her, just once!... okay, more than once, but still...) And you�re no weirder than me if you do that. I actually found myself quoting one of them once, and then I was kinda like �Holy fuck, can you say Obsessed?� And you know what? I could! Can�t say yaoi, but I can say that! In actual fact, I never did get to see much of the episodes where Sesshomaru was first introduced, and since then have not seen a terrible lot of him referring to himself in the third person (why the hell would anybody do that anyway? How arrogant is this guy?-- Lol, just kidding, I love Sesshomaru! Probably my fav character next to Yash) Sorry about confusing you at the end of the chapter, I tried to give a fairly viable reason for Inuyasha�s actions. I promise all will be revealed in future chapters. ALRIGHT! Someone finally hates Naraku! Yeesh, I was beginning to think it was a lost cause! (Lol, I don�t have anything against him personally, I just didn�t understand why everyone else thought he was so awesome for trying to kill andor rape poor Inu-- is it an insult to call him that? After all, I am literally reffering to him as �dog�...) Wasn�t there a song like that once?... Nope, wait, that�s �I�m a love machine�, sorry, got confused again. Is it only 12:45? Man, I�m answering this during the day, but that�s about the time I�m usually heading toward bed. I am seriously becoming concerned about this, since last night I got four hours of sleep (even on christmas that�s not a lot) and am beginning to wonder if I am, perhaps, an Insomniac.
Lol.
(BTW, I thought you�d like to know that, according to this microsoft document I am writing this on, answering to your reviews alone have taken up about 2 maybe 3 pages-- more evidence proving exactly how much and for how long I can talk)

Reviewers from Chapter 12

-Naraku�s mistress who ties him to the bed and rides him till he bleeds - I had to stop there so that I could have some of Sesshomaru and Rin�s encounter. Sorry, but you never know, Inuyasha�s brother may yet save him from your favourite hanyou.
-Well, if you think seeing poor Inuyasha getting raped (or about to) is fun... as I said before, whatever floats your boat, I am only here for your entertainment.
-Devious little author? Never been called that before. Has a nice ring to it though, doesn�t it? Lol, anyway, I have never really thought before about hanging a person by their fingernails, but it sounds painful. How would one go about doing that?
Chibi-Porunga - Huh. I made Naraku... hot? Never really considered that a possibility before of me portraying him like that. Anyway, this chapter has more of Sesshomaru and Rin�s side so maybe that�ll help with the �what about Sesshie?�
uzamaki liliana - Huh, now I�m torn. I�ve got you telling me not to let him rape them, people like Naraku�s mistress wanting me to have him raped, and then people caught between who feel sorry for Inuyasha, but want him to have whatever I can give him.
Deity - I don�t know if you remember correctly as my memory is not so great itself. However, I do indeed enjoy keeping people on the edge, and hope to continue doing so with this next chapter.
ArchNemesis - This story isn�t on FF.net. You won�t find anything like it near there (at least, I never have) because people really don�t like it when you put a story like this so close to freely clicking minors. This is the only website this story is posted on, so go AFF.net!
That�s all for now, I hope I answered most of your questions there (it took me 4 fucking pages to do it!) and will answer any other you have next time.

DISCLAIMER: To tired to write a proper one, so: I own none of the Inuyasha characters and make no money off of them. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. The story belongs to me.

Only Human

�Lord Sesshomaru?� The tentative voice of Rin reached Sesshomaru�s ears and he glanced back, eyes cold at the girl who actually had the audacity to poke her head in the door and look around for him without receiving any sort of answer.
He turned away, deciding to leave it be for now, staring back out the window at the familiar grounds splayed out before him while he felt Rin�s gaze fall upon him as she tentatively entered the room-- again, with no invitation to do so.
�I do not know what the customs are where you come from, but in this household we await an answer before entering another�s chambers.� He said, his voice a blanket of ice that shot back to envelop her, and she froze halfway into the room.
�Hai, Lord Sesshomaru, and believe me, if this were not a case of utmost urgency, I would not have veen dared to do so, but I have been looking for you everywhere, in all the rooms and I simply could not find you, and there is not much time for me to tell you this I fear, so I�m afraid I had to abandon the customs of aristocratic society to save time.� She said. The girl had a tendency to rant, and it, quite honestly, both amused and angered Sesshomaru.
And now he was intrigued as to what exactly was so urgent that the girl would risk disturbing him in such a way. There was a moments silence as both waited for the other to speak, before Sesshomaru seemed to sense that Rin was currently not feeling inclined to do so, and decided to save time (and get the ningen away from him as fast as possible) by breaking the silence. �What is it you want, Rin?� He asked in a tone that said he really couldn�t care less and was only asking out of morbid curiosity.
�I�m glad you asked.� The girl said, though her voice had a tone that said that she wasn�t entirely convinced of that face as she continued on �You see, there is something very important I must tell you--�
�I assumed as much, otherwise you would not have �searched every room� to find me as you claimed.� He said.
�Well I did!� Rin shot back, and Sesshomaru blinked in surprise: The only ones to ever talk back to him were his father, that ningen mate of his and Inuyasha. But they were all considered his equals or betters (at least by others) and so had right to do so. This ningen wench, however, was hardly worthy of such a right. He glanced back, taking in her distance-- about ten feet away: well within easy striking range, should she choose to further evoke this stolen right of back-talking.
He raised an eyebrow, taking a moment to scrutinize the girl�s appearance, something he had never much taken an interest in doing before, but now that she had caught his attention, he had to admit she was not a bad-looking woman. For a human, anyway. By youkai standards she was unbelievably plain.
Her eyes were deep brown-- nothing unusual there as most ningen�s had brown eyes, but these held stories behind them that no eyes of a girl that age should be able to tell. Her hair was long and dark, falling down to mid-waist, and held in an unusual style where all but a single braid on one side about mid-way back was loose and hanging about her, falling in a shiny (if slightly messy and uneven looking) sheet of satin, framing her face, which, in Sesshomaru�s opinion, was far too pale-- It was as though the girl never saw sunlight! And, judging by the amount of time she had spent outdoors, just lying amongst the grass or running about in a very unladylike manner, she probably did not get to go outdoors much.
She also wore a necklace or large beads with fangs placed at regular intervals that and it reminded Sesshomaru of a rosary he had once encountered. It was too long and looked incredibly out of place on her, further enhancing the idea that she was not the true lady she pretended to be, hanging oddly on her skinny frame.
That was one thing she had in common with Inuyasha-- besides their free-spiritedness: The girl could pack away a small mountain of food and never gain a pound. It was almost startling, as though their metabolisms were working on overdrive to make sure no food stayed in them long enough to get them fat, while they themselves battled to do the very opposite.
He realised that the girl had been rambling on about something or another that he (strangely enough) had been completely ignoring. Ignorance was a weakness in his eyes, and so he had always made it a point to never ignore what another said, for, more often than not, the truth of a persons intentions could be heard clearly in both what was and what was not said, it all depended on who listened to the information and what they did with it.
Resentfully, he forced himself to focus in on the girl�s rant.
�...And he holds our very lives in his hands, so we are forced to do whatever he wants or he�ll kill us, and this time he sent us here to become your-- you and Inuyasha�s, that is-- mates, but then you two mated each other and so he came up with a new plan, but I do not wish to go through with it, only I did not know what to do to destroy him. Kagura said that you were probably strong enough to defeat him, and I agree--�
Sesshomaru watched in morbid fascination as the girl continued to rant on for a good few minutes about him, his youkai beginning to get more agitated than it had been before the girl had come in.
Something had been bothering it, other than his fight with Inuyasha. Ever since they had marked each other, Sesshomaru had felt strangely connected to his otouto. He wasn�t sure if Inuyasha could sense it, being only half-demon, but Sesshomaru had begin to faintly lock in on his brother�s emotions. He had felt Inuyasha�s happiness that morning when they had woken up, had felt his discomfort and agitation at the few lustful stares he had received, and that, coupled with his own anger that anyone dared to look at his mate in such a way, had been the main things to drive him to become so possessively protective over his mate.
But now there was something else there. A lot of confusion, which Sesshomaru had accounted to their encounter, but something else, something entirely new that he could not place, and it bothered him, causing his youkai to thrash and snarl in agitation.
Rin was still ranting in the background, and Sesshomaru decided it was time to end the girl�s constant stream of words and get to whatever it was that was so damn important before they both died (him from boredom, her from decapitation), and, without thinking much of Rin�s status, he lifted his narrowed gold eyes to her and said �Be silent, Rin.�
Immediately the words died on her lips as she stared up at him with wide-eyed that held none of the usual traces of resentment or hurt that people usually held toward his commands to �shut-up�. Ningen and beneath him or not, she was still of higher status than a servant or even a warrior, and therefore he had no real right to command her silence. Neither of them, however, seemed to care very much about that insignificant little fact.
A moment after he came to this realisation, Sesshomaru wondered why he cared. She was only human, after all.
�Now.� He said, smoothing the agitation from his voice before it passed his lips. �What is it exactly that you have come here for?� He asked, and Rin blinked in a way that suggested she herself wasn�t entirely sure.
A moment later, however, her face cleared, then became dark as she met his golden eyes (something even some youkai had trouble doing) and said �Sesshomaru, I think that Inuyasha is in trouble.�
Before she knew what was happening, she was hanging by her throat in midair, Sesshomaru�s claws wrapped cruelly about her neck-- tight enough to choke, but not suffocate. Not yet, anyways.
�You had best explain your words is you value your life at all, ningen.� He said, deliberately using the word that he so often threw out as though it were an insult.
Ever since he come to his room that strange feeling he could not name had begun to grow and seethe within him, sending his youkai into a frenzy, but only now was he finally beginning to consider what it actually might be.
Fear.
A pure, unadulterated, fear-for-your-personal-safety-andor-life kind of terror.
And it was something that Sesshomaru had never, never felt from Inuyasha before. And now that he was beginning to realise what it was (his youkai confirming it by thrashing about violently in need to get to his mate now that the idiot in control had finally caught on) he felt panic (another thing he had never felt before) beginning to wash through him.
�Please... Lord Sesshomaru...� Rin wheezed out, her small hands coming up to wrap around his own, trying to convince him to let go (though really just encouraging him to hold all the tighter, an urge he barely resisted) �let me down... and... I�ll tell you...� She gasped. Sesshomaru eyed her a moment before letting her fall to the ground, not bothering to even attempt restraining her or blocking the door. She was, after all, only a ningen, and if she tried to run, she would not make it three feet before he would catch her and kill her.
Rin coughed a few times before looking up into his deadly eyes, hand going to her throat, chest heaving as she said, �Lord Sesshomaru, please, try to understand.� Another statement that made no real sense to Sesshomaru�s uninterested mind, as it barely registered the fact that she had spoken at all. He could feel Inuyasha�s panic beginning to rise, and he knew that he needed to get to his mate soon if he wanted to protect him from whatever monster had gotten it�s grips on him.
�My sister an I were in the plot to mate with you, put there by our brother, Naraku...� she said slowly, swallowing several times and wincing slightly. �But, after you two mated, our brother said that the only way to break your bond... would be to kill Inuyasha.�
Sesshomaru�s eyes widened imperceptibly, then narrowed as anger and the promise of death seeped into them (though if it was directed truly at Rin, neither knew). He had expected some sort of mating plot from Naraku, having been on the brunt of many such scheme�s. But Naraku was a fairly conniving and unpredictable sort of demon, and anything he came up with would more than likely end in some kind of brutal and evil way for whoever was on the receiving end of it.
In this case, it was him and--
�Inuyasha.� He said, his voice a low murmur, and Rin glanced nervously at him before moving quickly to finish before he could either take off or kill her. �He commanded Kagura an I to try and drive you two apart, and then he would kill Inuyasha. He is trying to break you to get your empire.� She finished quietly, and Sesshomaru�s eyes narrowed further.
�Why do you tell me this? Why do you go to such measures, risking your own and your siblings lives in your betraying of your brother?� He asked, his voice low and cold as Rin stared sadly up at him.
�Because.� She said quietly �As my brother has often reminded me, I am only human, and a human is driven as much by their emotions as their instincts. And I know in my heart that you two do not deserve the fate of death. He does.� She glanced at the window where the sky was getting darker slowly, then back at Sesshomaru. �Inuyasha ran to the forest. I suggest you hurry, I do not know how long it will take my brother to find him.�
Sesshomaru stared at her calculatingly before his youkai�s desperation for it�s mate drove him to move, and he stepped over the girl, going to the door, before pausing, turning back to look at her. �That was a wise answer, and it may have saved your life for now.� He said, not loosing his icy demeanour for even a second. �If you try and run while I am gone� he added, his voice taking on that deadly tone again �I assure you, you will not make it to the borders with your life.�
�I will not run.� Rin said as he exited the room, closing the door and moving with inhuman speed in the direction of the forest, the direction his youkai was screaming at him to go, while Rin sat and stared sadly at the emotionless block of wood that was the door.
�I have nowhere to run.� She whispered to the uncaring room, before glancing toward the window that Sesshomaru had been staring out of when she had first come in.

�Good luck, Sesshomaru.� Rin thought after the demon who held her very fate in his hands. �I hope you find your brother. I hope you kill my brother. For all our sakes.�
