Inuyasha

Forgive Me

Chapter 1,

One More Time,

Years had passed since the day Rin had found a home in Kaede's village in her home, and she couldn't say that she hated it, although the distance that had been put between her and her Lord, Sesshomaru, pained her, she missed him, and even though he visited often, she longed to be at his side once again. She was older now, 18 to be exact, and she had grown into a fine young woman if the towns' people had any say about it, many young men had asked for her hand in marriage and she had turned down every last one.

Her hair had grown over the years and it had now passed over the small of her back, it held a lovely black silken tone, and the small tuft of hair she used to tie up on her head was no longer seen, as she grew older she had started letting her hair down instead of restraining it even though it was only a small portion. Her excited brown eyes held a sparkle to them that radiated her personality, and she always smiled, sometimes humming to herself the songs she had sung when she was a child while waiting for Sesshomaru to return. Regardless of how many opportunities she had, she continued to walk around everywhere she went, barefoot, it didn't even seem to bother her, no matter the terrain she didn't seem to notice. Some said that she had been blessed by the gods; some said she had a demons power, and even though she sometimes heard these comments she remained unfazed.

When she turned 18 however Kaede had promised her that she would own the somewhat rundown and neglected house on the lake, if she continued to manage and look after it till she came of age. She had faithfully taken care for the place daily as was her requirement; she had even started a small garden that she tended as well, growing flowers and even a few vegetables that she could live off of, instead of having to buy her own food.

She was proficient in catching fish as well so finding her own food was hardly a challenge, since she had had to look after herself from a very young age after her family was killed by bandits and she was the only one to escape, even if the event left her mute until she found Lord Sesshomaru. The house by the lake was bigger than she had expected from glancing at it from the outside but she was glad it was larger than she had thought, because cleaning it kept her busy, and sometimes she liked to have moments to herself where she could simply lose herself in thought.

She couldn't deny the house was lonely, she wished she still lived with Kaede at times, and Sesshomaru never stayed for more than an hour or two, and then the day would return to one that was lonesome and lacking human or demon companionship. The last few times Sesshomaru had come he had seemed distant, and his visiting time was shorter, he hadn't even brought her any gifts, perhaps that was her being selfish but she cherished each and every last gift that he had bestowed upon her, and as of late he hadn't even been coming at all.

She then had a worried thought, "What if I'm talking to much about the village…what if he thinks I would rather be here instead of with him, is he distancing himself from me slowly?!" She inhaled a breath and covered her mouth in fear, "Lord Sesshomaru I would rather be with you than here, how could you think otherwise! After all, you're the one who told me I had to stay here…" She paused for a moment to think, "Have you really stopped caring about me Lord Sesshomaru…have you returned to the way you were before I met you?"

She held her hand to her heart and lowered her head closing her eyes, as she knelt there on the floor, fear and sorrow taking hold of her at the thought of losing her dear Lord, it saddened her more than she thought possible. But what if it was true? What if he thought he didn't need her anymore, was she ever going to see him again, would he come see her one more time and tell her to her face that he was done with her, that he no longer cared. She found herself feeling angry towards him that he didn't even have the courage to see her one last time before he dumped her like a sack of potatoes.

She let out a small sigh, "Where is the Lord Sesshomaru that I grew to care for, why did he leave me?"

"Just one more time, Lord Sesshomaru…one more time"

Hey again, I always wanted to create an extra scene to this show when I saw Sesshomaru giving Rin gifts, there was obviously a reason for it, so I hope I have remained in character, and you enjoy, there will be more to come, although I am busy with university and I am still currently writing for (witch Hood) I will try my best :D
