M A T E (Sesshomaru)

37.

After the incident with the villagers, Rin and Niko went to work on finding a perfect dress for each of them. They went to try on clothes and put back the ones they didn't like. Rin ended up with a beautiful white floral pattern short sleeved dress while Niko had a beautiful traditional wedding gown.

"Think Lord Sesshomaru will like the outfits we picked?" Rin asked as Niko smiled.

"Indeed I hope so, they were pricey after all," she giggled causing Rin to do the same. "now, where is he? I don't sense him around anymore,"

"Uh oh, think we're lost mommy?" Rin asked as she sighed.

"I'm not-"

"LADY NIKO! RIN!" A voice called from the sky as the two looked up to see Jaken on Ah-Un as they smiled and waved.

"MASTER JAKEN! BOY WE GLAD TO SEE YOU!" Both Rin and Niko said at the same time just as he landed.

"Yes, everyone is at the castle! Lord Sesshomaru had me fetch the two of you! So come on the wedding starts very soon!"

"Are you nervous mommy?" Rin asked as she smiled and shook her head.

"I love lord Sesshomaru, it's always been my dream to marry him, since the day we met all those years ago,"

"Well know that back then Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't have even dreamed of marrying a half breed such as yourself, In fact Lord Sesshomaru would've killed you the moment he even saw your face,"

"Master Jaken that was very rude!" Rin defended hitting him in the back of the head.

"Ow! Hey you pest!" He shouted as Niko only frowned.

In fact he was most definitely right, if she had met Sesshomaru alot earlier than planned, this probably wouldn't be happening at this very moment, but she doesn't dwell on the past instead she looks to the future with the father of her baby and soon to be husband.

"Don't listen to him mommy! Jaken doesn't know what he's talking about! I've seen it myself Lord Sesshomaru loves you! He wouldn't have taken you in if he hadn't, he would've treated you like he does Inuyasha but he hadn't, he's had nothing but respect and love for you, I've never seen Lord Sesshomaru so happy like he's been with you! You mean a lot to him mommy," she finishes as Niko couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you Rin, that means a lot to me," she said a tear running down her face as Rin smiled.

"Of course Mommy! Anything for you,"

"How sweet," a new voice was heard causing Ah-Un to stop in his tracks as Jaken pulled on the reigns.

In front of us stood Kagura with a fan to her face as Niko growled.

"So, you've reverted back to your half demon self, Naraku and I destroyed your lands however Naraku still wants to offer you his marriage I've been instructed to kidnap and take you,"

"On my wedding day? Come on Kagura you can't be that cruel,"

"Wedding day? you mean Sesshomaru actually is going to marry you today?"

"What's wrong with that? He loves me!"

"How do you know for sure? You are not his equal,"

"That's true, but he wouldn't be so happy to be having this baby with me if he didn't love me, he wouldn't get jealous when my parents sought me out another suitor, he wouldn't have kept me under his wing, protected me. So your wrong! Sesshomaru loves me! He's expressed it multiple times! He wouldn't be marrying me today if he didn't love me!"

"Now back off Kagura!" Jaken yelled as she frowned and swung her fan causing blades to come out.

Rin screamed as Jaken made the reigns move to the left as Ah-Un roared and dodged the attack.

He began to fly above Kagura as she followed us from behind and swung more of her blades at them.

Ah-Un managed to dodge them all just as the castle came to view. Kagura was still flying behind them as she took another swing as tornados came out this time.

Jaken, Rin and Niko screamed when Ah-Un was thrown off course by the tornados. He was falling from the sky with his eyes closed.

"WERE GONNA CRASH!" Rin yelled out.

"LORD SESSHOMARU!" Both Rin and Niko yelled in hopes he would save them.
