Alright, peoples. Some of you may know me and know the fact that I have
been absent from fanfiction.net for quite a while. My computer has had a
virus and so far it is un-fixable. But I'm using the library computer after
school and such to type my stories up that I had written down manually. And
if you don't know me. I'm the wonderful, amazing, brilliant author, Sakura-
Chan. /\_/\ I take great pride in my stories and I'm delighted you've
chosen to read this particular one.
Now, I want to keep the introductory simple, so I shall. This story is basically a romance/drama between Sesshoumaru and Rin, who is sixteen at the time of the story. A summary of the story is here as follows: Sesshoumaru first "adopted" Rin after Kouga's wolf clan killed destroyed Rin's village and eventually, Rin, and then she was revived using the Tenseiga. She was seven at the time. Then, for the next two years, Rin accompanied Sesshoumaru and Jaken in all of their little misadventures. One day, Sesshoumaru comes across a village and decides that it is time for Rin to be with a family, to grow up. And so, she does, Sesshoumaru supposedly leaving her forever. Fast forward seven more years to the day of Rin's already prepared wedding with a bratty guy named Taroku. How ironic that Sesshoumaru would stumble upon Rin's forced wedding. Persuading Sesshoumaru was a difficult task, indeed, for Rin, as it was even more difficult for the two of them to keep their feelings for one another in check.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rin, Sesshoumaru, or any other InuYasha characters for they belong to the amazing manga-ka, Rumiko Takahashi. Taroku, Sayume, and villagers are extra, non-existent characters that I own that I threw in the story as extras. Rated PG-13 for language, violence, and Fluffiness. This story is divided up into 'chapters' and within the chapters are 'parts' containing a portion of the chapter to make for easier reading. "Part: Part Title: Character Focus" is how it is deciphered.
If you enjoy Rin x Sesshoumaru fics filled with "Fluffy" romance, angsty- tug-at-your-heart experiences, action, adventure, and Jaken-tormenting, then this is for you. If you hate Rin x Sesshoumaru, why even bother to read this? I shall accept flames but not ridiculous ones like "You sick freak; you suck; Go to Hell for putting Rin w/Sesshoumaru" etc, etc. Suggestions help so much, and corrections as well. I'll answer questions and reply to some reviews. Also, I would like to have at least 5 or more reviews before the next chapter goes up, please. Thanks, and enjoy. ~Sakura-Chan [P.s: Sorry for the long intro. I'm such a hypocrite, ne?]

CHAPTER 1: Prologue
Part 1: Bride: Rin
It was early morning and the fog was just starting to lift, dew decorating the entire village from head to toe. She licked her lips nervously and paced back and forth from within the hut. Pale fingers slid across the fine oak table until they carefully scooped up a faded red ribbon-like piece of material. The girl wrapped it around her fingers, twisting it around thoughtlessly. Tucking her dark, raven colored hair behind her ears and stared at herself in the mirror. A miserable, big, dark-eyed eyed girl with scattered freckles, wearing a beautiful peach silken kimono, stared back at her.
"Sesshou-" She started sadly, but was interrupted by a woman entering the hut, pulling the bead-plated door flap over her head.
"Rin!" The woman yelled sharply as the girl jumped in surprise. The young woman called "Rin" turned, pulling her hands, one in which held the ribbon, behind her back..
"Sayume-Baba." She said faintly, watching the old priestess woman come closer. Rin knew this woman. She had adopted Rin back when.
"What's that behind your back?" Sayume asked Rin as she tightened her grip on the fabric.
"Nothing." She lied and pulled open a secret compartment drawer from the table and quickly concealed it, shutting it as she protected it with her hands gently covering it. The old woman knew though, what Rin was hiding. She approached Rin and smiling, placed her old hands on the neck of Rin's kimono and pulled it closer together, stroking her fingers over the beautiful material as if departing from it forever as she removed her hands.
"You will make a beautiful bride, Rin." She said adoringly, this made Rin stiffen.
"I-I know." Rin replied, voice a little shaky. Who wouldn't be nervous on their wedding day?
"You're a good girl, Rin." She said as Rin replied obediently with an 'I know'. Sayume nodded in approval and felt that Rin needed some time alone, so she left without a word, only eyes speaking with reassurance. Then, Rin was left alone in the room with her thoughts.
After Sayume-Baba had left her, Rin turned back to the drawer and removed the ribbon once again, slowly and carefully, as if it was sacred. But to her it was, of course, sacred. She pulled the small crimson material up to her face as she cradled it.
"Sesshoumaru-Sama." She sniffed, holding back tears. It had been about seven years since she had last seen him. On a morning much like this one. As painful as it was, she forced herself to remember.
My apologies for a short chapter, I just need to make sure fanfiction.net will put my story up the right way, you know? I'll immediately start to type up more once I get it up and online. Expect a longer chapter by tonight. If I fail to do so tonight, I'll have a nice 3000, maybe 2000, if I'm THAT lazy, -worded chapter by tomorrow. Alright? Hope you enjoyed the sample and please review it!
