Disclaimer: The brilliant Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha and the characters of Inuyasha. I do not. Please don't get mad at me for something I write. I do enjoy helpful criticism though. So please enjoy and R&R!
A/N: This story originally used to be called An Innocent Girl and A Killing Perfection for those of you who are confused. I'm also very sorry how short this chapter is... and for the bad grammar.
WARNING: There will be lemony/limey stuff in the future.
Chapter one: The End?
"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it."
–Emily Brontë
Doesn't everybody want to be loved? Including Lord Sesshomaru? Rin pondered as she gazed at the sakura falling off the cherry trees. It was sunset now and they would be stopping to set up camp soon. Rin would not be able to accompany her lord in his travels soon, as Sesshomaru said that she was becoming a lady and gallivanting around the untamed land was not appropriate.
She sighed and smiled a sad smile. Rin had grown with the great Lord of the Western Lands. She had learned to act as he approved. She would do what he wanted; try in vain if she must to impress her lord. She acted as a young woman who walked with a great demon should act. Now she was a woman, her elegance uncanny, and she herself developed a calm mask like her master. However; she would still smile, a smile that radiated heat to the coldest of places. Also, she was not as patient as she made herself out to be because no matter how hard one tried, they could not change everything about themselves. Though she changed to fit her way of life she concealed a secret from them her fellow travellers.
Rin was in love.
With Sesshomaru. This demon that had raised her as a daughter from a young age, who was so remarkable and so misunderstood, was the closest precious thing to her heart. Her urge to have him as a lover was unbreakably strong but desperate. Sesshomaru was not only a great youki but his mere essence oozed with power. Rin ached to combine her spirit, heart, and body with his own. And she knew she was old enough to bare him young.
Humming lightly the raven haired girl stared at the back of her master's silver, knee length, straight hair. He walked a bit head of her, standing straight and tall. A toad demon grumbled behind them with the reins of a two headed dragon in his hands.
"Where are we going, Lord Sesshomaru?" The toad demon, Jaken, asked. The tall dog demon glanced back at the toad then at the raven haired youth, Rin. His glance stayed with Rin for a brief second before returning to ahead of him.
In Sesshomaru's strong voice he said, "We will be camping here tonight." Usually he didn't give them the courtesy of telling them these things but he had been starting to for some unknown reason.
Sesshomaru kept walking, however, and said: " Rin, come". Rin blushed, what could this possibly be about that her master wished to speak to her alone? She followed closely behind the demon. When they got out of the range of Jaken's hearing Sesshomaru sat down against a tree. Rin sat parallel to him and there was silence for a minute before he spoke again. "I have been looking into finding you a suitor now that you have developed into a young woman. He will be human of course and I will make sure that he is wealthy and able to take great care of you. Naturally, you will live with him and make your life with him, ending your involvement in our travels."
Rin was blown away by Sesshomaru's speech. He was looking for a suitor? He didn't want her to be involved in their travels? "But Lord Sesshomaru, I don't want to have a suitor! Our travelling means the world to me! I refuse to leave you!" Rin's eyes vision blurred as tears cascaded down her face. She got up and began to run.
Sesshomaru's eye brow raised and within seconds he had prevented her from running. "You will do as I say and you will accept this." Sesshomaru said coldly. Rin pulled him close to her and kissed him. Pulling back she said, "I don't want anyone but this Sesshomaru. I love you." She had finally admitted how she felt but she could not prevent her tears from falling. To think that he wanted her gone, she didn't want to lose him. Sesshomaru looked at her with a blank expression before letting her go and walking away.
