For the majority of the trip, Sesshoumaru and Rin sat in silence. They had little need for words when they were happy just to be together again.

"I've missed this," Rin admitted as she snuggled into the fur and closed her eyes. "Travelling. Being with you."

Sesshoumaru carefully ran his hand over her hair, petting her into a blissful sleep.

When she woke, it was to the sensation of descending to land.

"Have we arrived?"

"Yes." Sesshoumaru watched as Rin stretched. "There will be a lot of youkai."

"I'll be fine," Rin assured him. Mentally, she willed herself to follow through with that statement. Patting her cheeks to look more awake, she checked her clothes and hair. "Do I look alright?"

"Beautiful."

"Be serious. I'm about to meet a lot of people. I want to be a good representation for you."

"I am always serious," Sesshoumaru remarked and helped her tuck a stray hair back in place.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she readied herself. Whatever was outside the carriage she could handle as long as she had Sesshoumaru for support.

She opened her eyes to see Sesshoumaru studying her. He raised an eyebrow and moved his hand to the door. Nodding, Rin saw firelight as he opened the door and jumped out. He held his hand for her and she took it.

A roar of barks and howls filled the air as Sesshoumaru lifted her down.

"Welcome, Rin-sama!" A line of soldiers saluted to her left and a line of servants bowed to the right.

"Welcome to your new home, my lady," Sesshoumaru whispered into her ear as he took her hand and walked down the rows of youkai.

All around the courtyard there were youkai covering all possible surfaces. They waved and cheered. Rin smiled back and greeted a few as they pressed close. There were even a few children running around.

"Everyone seems happy here," Rin commented as she looked at the celebrating crowd.

"They're happy to finally see you, and that means all their hard work to rebuild their homes is complete. This," Sesshoumaru squeezed her hand as they ascended a set of stairs, "signifies the start of a new era."

They reached the top of the stairs and turned to face the crowd. Silence fell as Sesshoumaru raised a hand. He had them well trained.

"I, Sesshoumaru, Your Lord of the Western Lands, proudly present to you, my wife and mate, Rin. May today be remembered by us all as the start to a new life of comradery and peace amongst our kind. Rejoice!"

A cheer that seemed to vibrate Rin's bones shook the air as the crowd chanted, "Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin-sama!" over and over.

Sesshoumaru reveled in it for a moment before guiding Rin inside the dark house.

"You'll get a full tour tomorrow, but it's late and you need to eat." He made a pointed look to her belly.

"You did hear it, then," Rin rubbed her grumbling stomach. "Kagome-sama packed some food in my bags. If I can get that, I should be fine."

"Nonsense. There are youkai that have been curious about humans for centuries. My father included." Sesshoumaru's eye twitched. "There were quite a few who were eager to become your staff. They have all been tested and will not attempt to do you harm. If they do, report to me and I'll take care of them."

"Don't casually threaten them to me." Rin giggled and teased only because they were alone. Becoming serious, she said, "I know you to be a fair and reasonable judge. I don't think anyone who has passed tests of loyalty set by you will intentionally do me harm."

Sesshoumaru walked through the dim house with confident steps as Rin stumbled along his side.

"Um, Sesshoumaru-sama. I can't really see where I'm walking."

He halted. Of course she couldn't see. There were no lamps and they had no candle. Sesshoumaru had been using his superior ability to see and his extensive knowledge on the layout of his house to traverse the inner labyrinth. Sliding his arms around her, Sesshoumaru picked Rin up and carried her to the private living section of the complex.

There, lamps were lit, and he set her down so he could open the door to a dining room. A delightful smell wafted through the air and Rin's stomach growled again.

"I agree with my stomach. It smells delicious and I am starving."

"Then eat." Sesshoumaru sat her down in front of the modest dinner. "I told them to hold back for your first dinner. Even though it could have been a wedding feast."

Rin happily tucked into the rice, fish, and vegetable dishes. Overall, it was quite good for the hungry girl, but the rice wasn't fully finished steaming, the fish was over charred, and the vegetables were too salty, but Rin ate the modest amount and arched back in euphoric contentment and let out a sigh.

A cough from Sesshoumaru caught her attention and she saw him turn away with a hand over his mouth.

"What's wrong, Sesshoumaru-sama? Are you alright?" Rin swiveled and leaned over the table to reach for him.

"You probably shouldn't touch me right now," Sesshoumaru said, not unkindly as he stood and went to the door. "Follow me."

"Okay," Rin replied promptly, even though she remained confused.

A few hallways later, Sesshoumaru opened a door and let Rin in first. A set of rooms decorated in a luxurious fashion surprised Rin. She had taken his new position too lightly.

"There's a bathing room through here," Sesshoumaru told Rin as he went to a joining door. "Shall I call someone to help you?"

"No, I should be fine."

When Rin walked in, a steaming bath was waiting for her. Quickly undressing and undoing her hair, she washed herself and soaked for a few blissful minutes. Hot baths were a treat. She would become spoiled all too easily here.

Instead of changing back into her fancy kimono, Rin opted for the simple yukata that was set out for her. A comb allowed her to smooth her damp hair before she returned to the main entry room.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"In here."

Rin went to the door that was cracked open and peered in. And stared.

Blinking hard, she looked as Sesshoumaru turned to face her from where he stood by the window. It certainly was him, but Rin looked around. On a rack to the side, his armor sat on a display. Beside it on a set of drawers was his customary clothes. Mokomoko was on the bed and Bakusaiga rested against a nightstand.

Rin looked back to him. Sesshoumaru in nothing more than a yukata like her was completely baffling. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hide her smile.

"What's funny?"

Rin walked up and put her hands around him. Her arms fit. She didn't have to stop halfway because of his armor. She could lean, and did, against him in any way she wanted without fear of poking an eye on his spikes. Bakusaiga was next to the bed, so it couldn't stab her in the side.

"I hope you are prepared for what will happen if you keep rubbing yourself against me."

Sesshoumaru's eyes were closed, his hands in tight fists, and his body strung tighter than a drawn bow.

Looking at herself, Rin saw her hands running over his chest where his heart drummed out a rapid beat. Further down, her legs had split over one of his and she was wrapped up tightly against the solid muscle of his thigh.

Rin gave him a nudge with her chest. His nose flared at the sensation of her breasts leaning further into his chest. She trailed her hands down to the obi slung low on his waist. His breathing changed to a low growl that rumbled beneath her hand. With the slight buck of her hips that gave friction to the junction between her legs, Rin was thrown through the air to land on the soft, raised bed.

Pouncing on top of her, Sesshoumaru pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her.

"I've waited for this day to come for years," he growled as he licked and nibbled her lips. "Time isn't supposed to feel this way for youkai. Waiting a few years has never felt so long before."

Carefully maneuvering her face with his hands, Sesshoumaru licked and kissed the scratches she got earlier that day. Now that she had rinsed the medicine off, he was free to enjoy her body without hesitation.

"Nnh… Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin sighed and stretched beneath him. Her body was reacting and she wasn't fully in control. Her hands held his clothes for the minute Sesshoumaru spent bathing her neck.

Claws that didn't quite catch on the fabric raked down her sides, sending thrills along in their wake. Rin's mouth just hung open as she panted. She knew Sesshoumaru was doing all the work and that she should do something to make him feel good too.

As he opened the front of her yukata, Rin's leg lifted, trailing up his inner thigh and distorting the fabric that covered his legs. Her ankle ran up and down as Sesshoumaru kissed his way down to the beat of her heart.

Gasping loudly as Sesshoumaru bit her flesh then licked to sooth it, Rin's foot rubbed into the tight wall of his thigh. Her hands, needing to hold something, went to his face, as if she could pull his torturous mouth from his wicked teasing.

"Rin."

His voice was huskier than normal. When she opened her eyes to look at him, she saw an extra shine in the depths of his gold irises and she realized why he had called her name. Her fingers had worked their way to his ears and she was stroking along their pointed shapes, causing him to breathe erratically.

"Do you like this?" Rin asked as she continued to fondle his sensitive ears.

His eyes half closed and his head turned from side to side, trying to roll in the sensation that she ignited. Little grunting sounds of pleasure huffed out of his nose and suddenly, Rin was pinned down quite completely as Sesshoumaru took over.

It was as if his hands were everywhere at once. He moved her legs so he could slide up between them to pin her hips with his. Then her obi was untied and the cool air was replaced with the heat of his bare skin against hers as he also removed his clothing.

His mouth was busy with hers again. Sneaking his tongue against hers, Rin let him into her mouth before she knew what he was doing.

His claws traced her curves with delicacy that left her arching into his touch, grinding her body into his and creating a white hot heat at her womanhood. She could feel him there. Long and hard, rubbing against her center folds in preparation for what would come next.

"Rin."

She was finally able to get some air as he whispered her name. Focusing was hard. There was too much he was doing to her.

"Rin. I need to be in you."

She nodded. Rin needed it too. His hands moved from where he was playing with her breasts to her hips and legs.

"This will hurt, but I will make you feel better."

"Promise?" Rin panted, loving the sight of Sesshoumaru above her.

"Promise."

He teased himself into her. He was right. It did hurt. She cried out and bit her lip to stifle it. Sesshoumaru coaxed her with his deep, rumbling tone to relax and breathe. His hands worked over her body, distracting her from the stretch of his invasion. But it was the most glorious kind of pain. The kind Rin only wanted to ever experience with Sesshoumaru.

After what felt like an eternity, the flare of pain ebbed to an ache. An ache that needed the attention only fucking could satisfy.

"Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin begged as she lifted her hips to grind into his.

He didn't need any other words. Holding her carefully, Sesshoumaru worked her through her paces. Once she found pleasure to replace the pain and ache, Rin fell fully into the actions.

They grappled with each other, trying to find the perfect fit, but enjoyed too much of everything.

The first time Rin came, she yelped and bit the closest thing to her, which meant that Sesshoumaru had an indentation of her teeth on his bicep as he pumped up into her as she laid over him. Rin's second time, she was face down in a pillow as Sesshoumaru rode her from behind.

"Rin."

"Ah!" Rin was astride him again. He had her fully seated and tight when he tried to get her attention.

"I'm going to come. Don't. Don't pull away."

Rin was confused as his instructions filtered into her brain. But suddenly, his claws bit into her hips, locking her down. The pain of his claws was nothing to the sudden expansion inside her. She cried out, but didn't pull away. He had ordered her not to.

Beyond the pain, there was a tsunami of heat as he pulsed inside her core, hot seed jetting up into her. It was like if she sat on a geyser in a hot spring, hot and wet. But he was pulsing inside her, even though they weren't moving.

"Don't move. Not yet."

"I'm going to come," Rin whimpered. For all that she felt she was being torn, the feeling of him had her walls threatening to collapse again.

"It's alright, Rin. You can come." Sesshoumarun lightened his grip, sorry that he had caused her to bleed, and rocked her softly against him to help her ride out her ecstasy in hopes that it would dull the pain she was feeling.

As Rin swayed above him in exhaustion, Sesshoumaru carefully laid her over him. They were still tied tightly together, his dog-like nature keeping his member locked inside her as he continued to pulse. Shushing her moans of pain, Sesshoumaru felt a wash of guilt. It had been a first for them both, but it was clearly a lot for the human girl to handle for her first time being intimate. Feeling guilty or not, Sesshoumaru knew that he could not have held back more than he already did. And, in fact, Rin had met each of his advances with equal fervor to his own. Sesshoumaru couldn't believe that Rin would want him to be any softer, to coddle her, in their mating.

"Rin?"

He smoothed the hair off her sweaty body to help cool her down. Her breathing and heartbeat were finally relaxed to their normal pace, but she laid, eyes open, but unresponsive to his touch.

"Rin," he repeated, nudging her lightly.

"Hm?" She burrowed her head into his chest, tired.

"Are you alright?"

"I'll be fine. I think." She yawned. Never before had she felt so exhausted. "I'm happy, Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Oh?" Sesshoumaru replied as he pet her slowly along her bare back.

"Are you?"

"I am very happy, Rin."

"Good. Let's stay that way." Rin stretched her hands to wrap over his shoulders. "Let's stay this way for as long as we can."

"You mean this?" Sesshoumaru thrust his hip and made Rin groan at the feeling of him still inside him. "Don't worry, just wait a little longer."

"Is this a youkai thing or a dog thing?" Rin asked curiously.

"It's a dog thing. Or so my father explained. Poorly." Sesshoumaru traced patterns over Rin's butt. "Does it hurt?"

"No. Not really. I can definitely feel it," Rin kissed his chest. "But I'm okay like this."

They fell silent and Rin dozed as they waited for Sesshoumaru's body to relax.

"Rin, I'm going to move," Sesshoumaru roused her before rolling them to Rin's back and pulling out slowly.

Letting out a cry of pain and loss, Rin tried to bring herself back together. Without Sesshoumaru to distract her, sore muscles twinged and the cuts on her hips started to sting.

As if knowing her cuts were hurting, Sesshoumaru slid down and laved her wounds, his tongue and saliva soothing the itch and sealing the injuries.

"I'm sorry, Rin. I didn't mean to hurt you." He kissed her cuts, then the bruises that were beginning to form on her thighs where he had grabbed them high so he could thrust deeply into her.

"It's okay. I like these kinds of injuries over the other ones I've had," Rin consoled him and pulled him up for a kiss. "I'm cold."

Sesshoumaru helped her crawl beneath the covers and cradled her into his hold.

"Did it hurt terribly?"

"It wasn't as bad as getting mauled by wolves. So, no. Not terribly," Rin mumbled. "And I liked all the other parts. A little temporary pain is an okay exchange."

"You liked all the other parts?"

"Yes, all." Rin kissed him, wiping the skepticism from his mind. "And I think we should do it again."

"As you wish."

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin tapped his nose. "I owe you so much. I plan on spending my whole life repaying you for everything. I love you."

"I love you, too. But it is because of you, Rin, that any of this is possible. I thank you, for making me who I am today. And for letting me become a man worthy of your affections."

"Love. Not just affections," Rin corrected and sealed her words with a kiss.

"I love you, Rin. Always."

-The End-

Author's Note: If it wasn't clear… last part of their sex is canine-like. Dogs and wolves are "tied" by an enlarged bulb gland that keeps the male inserted in order to keep the sex fluids inside the female. After that there is a wait time of anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes where the male is unable to remove its member from the female. Since this is quite a bit animalistic in comparison to humans I figured some scientific explanation might help with understanding without having to Google 'dog sex' like I did.

Why did I include it? … Dog youkai? Kinky stuff? I also use the term 'mate' and 'mating' in a more canine definition that is less human. *shrug* If that's not your kind of M-rating (and I'm keeping it mild because I don't want to get kicked off fanfiction.) then, sorry! Maybe my other smutty Sesshoumaru/Rin stuff won't be your favorite fic either, but if you're okay with it then keep an eye out for "Making Compromises" a companion story!

Thanks for reading!
