My Choice

Chapter 1

Her eyes were piercing stars in the moonlight. 'Will I ever find my prince charming?' "M'lady?" Asked a voice behind her. She turned around to the green imp and glared coldly at him for disturbing her. "What do you want now?" 'I swear she got that from Lord Sesshomaru.' "Another suitor is here." Rin sighed. "Must I go?" "Of course you must! Or would you rather go tell lord Sesshomaru that you don't wish to court another?" "Where is lord Sesshomaru? I shall tell him of my own problems." 'Damnit, she wasn't suppose to say yes!'

Jaken sighed at her. "He's in his study, but u also have a miko here to see you." 'Kagome!' Rin thought excitedly. Rin rushed past Jaken to look for her friend. 'I'm going to be in so much trouble when Sesshomaru finds out about this.' Jaken thought nervously.

As Rin turned the corner her eyes meet Kagome's. "Kagome!" "Rin!" "I haven't seen you for to long." "I agree. Oh my, just look at you." "What about me? "A lady, and I'm sure a great one at that." "I would hope so." "And you've grown so beautiful, so why do you not have a mate?" Rin sighed. "Sesshomaru... well, he keeps trying to find me suitors, but I want to fall in love." "Rin, he just wants what's best for you." "Yeah? And what if he doesn't know what's best for me?!" Rin almost screamed, tears in her eyes.

"Rin, are you in love with Sesshomaru?" "No! I just wish he would stop treating me like a child." "Rin he knows you aren't-" "He knows?!?! He knows nothing about me anymore!" "Rin, please, just calm down." Rin sighed trying her best to calm down. 'I'm just 16, I can't take this.' "Rin, why don't we go eat something and then have a good nights sleep?" Rin sighed again and started to walk to the kitchen.

~Later~ Rin rolled over in her bed. 'How am I suppose to tell Sesshomaru?' She rolled over again and kicked her blankets to the floor. 'Oh well, I don't have to see anymore suitors for the next couple of days since Kagome's here and her friends will be joining her tomorrow.' She suddenly remembered the young kitsune that use to travel with Kagome. 'I wonder if he's coming. I hope so, he was so much fun when we were kids.' Rin rolled over once again to dream of Shippo.

~The Next Day~ Rin and Kagome stood at the gates of the castle waiting for Kagome's companions. "Umm, Kagome." "Yes?" "Does that kitsune still visit you?" "Shippo? Of course, he's like my pup, he's coming to visit here." "Oh." Rin sounded uninterested but she was really filling with joy. "Why?" "What?" "Why did you wish to know?" "No real reason, just curious." Rin half lied.

Just then yelling could be heard as people approached. "InuYasha..." Someone said dangerously. "Ha! Daddy's gettin in trouble." Everyone laughed at that except InuYasha. "Mommy!" Two young children screamed happily running towards Kagome. "Kiry! Zee!" Kagome said happily as she knelt down to embrace her children. "So what did dad do now?" Kagome asked eying InuYasha as he came closer. "I did nothing." "He was making fun of Shippo again." "InuYasha." Kagome said scoldingly.

"It's ok Kagome." Shippo said suddenly. Rin looked over at Shippo, he definitely was not a pup anymore. His hair was fire colored and hanged around his face to make him look even more handsome, his eyes were a deep blue green sea color, and his tail wasn't very bushy, more long straight and shiny. He was very built too, not anyone you would want to pick a fight with. He was wearing loose red baggy pants and a loose red shirt to match, but you could still see his fine muscles under it. (No, no, no, it looks nothing like InuYasha's outfit!) "Rin." "Yes?" "Shall we go in?" "Yes, sorry." Everyone walked into the castle servants showing them to their rooms to wait for dinner.

Rin walked over to her door opening as she heard a knock. "Hello Kagome." "Hello. Do you mind if I come in?" "Oh no not at all." Rin moved to the side to let Kagome in. "Can't figure out what to wear?" Kagome asked looking at all the silk dresses on Rin's bed. Rin sighed. "No I can't." "Well let me pick out everything. You want to look good for your crush." "What?" "You like Shippo. Don't lie to me, I saw the way you were looking at him." Rin blushed. "Sit down and let me figure out what to do with you."

Kagome left for her room. She had told Rin she would send Shippo down to her room to pick her up. Rin heard a knock at the door and took one last look in the mirror. 'I hope this works.' Rin walked over to the door and opened to reveal Shippo looking much hotter than he did when he had first arrived. He had very long pants on that covered his feet and a long sleeved shirt stopping right before his hands. His clothes were red again only it had a gold tint to it.

"Hello lady Rin." "Please, Rin." "Ok then, Rin. Shall we go?" Shippo took her hand and pulled her out of her room and closed the door behind them. Rin giggled, no guy had ever done that before, and she liked it, he was different from the others.

Unknown to Rin, Shippo was now looking over her. Her long black hair was pulled up into a loose bun that had locks hanging from it and her bangs encircled her face making her blues eyes seem as though they were stars. She was wearing a long baby blue kimono that had a slit running up about mid thigh, and the dress seemed to clench to all the right places.

He inhaled her sent, it was so sweet, like mint after a spring shower, and also had a sent mixed in there that made it more spicy almost. He ran his eyes over her face again. Her lips were very full and blood red. He wondered if she tasted as good as she smelled.

He snapped out of his thoughts as she started to speak. "So how long are you planning on staying here?" "I don't know." "So how have you become lady?" "Sesshomaru says I'm like his daughter or whatever, so he let me be one of the ladies that control a part of the Western Lands." "So do you get a lot of suitors?" "Unforchanitly." "What do you mean?" "Sesshomaru wants to find someone wealthy and socially popular but I want to fall in love." "Ah."

They stepped into the dinning room and separated to go to their seats. They couldn't keep their eyes off one another all through dinner. When they went back to their rooms they could only think of each other.
