I've always liked the idea of Sesshomaru and Rin together and an idea had been nagging in the back of my mind for a while, so here it is! If it doesn't work out I'll delete it but if anyone has any ideas as to how they want the story to turn out or if you like it. Please hit that lovely button down below and leave a comment! You don't have to… but if you don't I'll set Sesshomaru on you *evil laugh* :D

Heh heh, just kidding!

Note: after Sesshomaru left Rin with Kaede and she had grown up (18yrs old).

The sky was a brilliant blue, a few fluffy clouds making a pretty, imperfect look. The emerald green grass swished almost musically in the cool breeze of the Spring month. Rin sat in the middle of the calm meadow, weaving the bright yellow and white daisies into her long black hair. She wore a dark purple kimono with a black and white 'square' pattern on it. This particular day she had requested a day's leave of her usual duties, fore this was the day of the week Lord Sesshomaru said he would come; the first full moon of the month. As she tied off the end of her plait the slight breeze suddenly erupted in a great torrent of wind, she made a small gasp of happiness as Lord Sesshomaru appeared from the tornado of wind that soon quietened. "Hello Milord," Rin said cheerfully greeting him with a hug. "Rin," Lord Sesshomaru said in reply, hugging her back and handing her a small package wrapped in exotic green paper.

"For...me?"

"Yes, open it."

"Okay!" Rin, as delicately as she could so as not to ruin the unusual material, unwrapped the package and as she reached the last fold a small pearly shell on a thin leather thong fell into her hands. "Oh!" she breathed, "it's beautiful, thank you very much Milord, I shall wear it always."

Sesshomaru slightly dipped his head in response to her delight, he was glad she liked it. Then an extremely annoying clearing of the throat could be heard from behind him, completely ruining the brief moment of happiness.

"Uh…Milord?"

"Master Jaken! Hello, I didn't see you behind Uh-Un," Rin went over to Uh-Un and gave each head a kiss on the fore-head in greeting, hello if you will, before turning back to Jaken, "Master Jaken, you've gotten shorter."

"No! It's you who's gotten taller!"

"That may be so, but you've still definitely gotten shorter. Perhaps in your old age?"

"Don't talk to me about old age! I can live for quite a few more hundred years! I can't say the same for you though… aren't you 18 now? Can't have many days left on ya…"

"Master Jaken, I'm going to live for much longer than 18! Look at Kaede! She must be around 70! And you're calling me old? Speak for yourself, a few more hundred years? Pff, more like a few more weeks… maybe you should start to look for a good burial site… perhaps a nice battle zone? It'd suit your aggressive nature…"

"You don't know anything about demon years! Not that anyone would expect a mere human to know anything anyway! And besides-"

"Jaken!"

"Y-yes Milord?"

"Shut… Up."

"Of course Milord, shutting up."

"Well, Lord Sesshomaru shall we go to the village now? I'm sure Inuyasha and Kagome would like to see you!"

"As if I would want to see my pathetic excuse for a half-brother and his human mate."

"Aw c'mon! Of course you do! Let's go!"

Rin neatly folded the thin, green paper and placed the thong around her neck. Before lightly taking Sesshomaru's hand and heading off in the direction of the village.

But despite her happy tone and cheerful appearance Rin was troubled. Sesshomaru's visits were getting few and far between as he travelled further and further away and engaged in fiercer, more deadly battles in his mission to reclaim the Western lands of his home kingdom of which he had regained his title over as the Lord of the Western Lands. There would soon to become a day when one particular surprise attack caused him to miss his promised visit day altogether…
