The Key to His Heart…

Sesshoumaru had always hated humans. Well that was until she came along, until Rin came into his life and opened his heart. She'd taught him to care, and he didn't realize until was too late. He could defend his lands from the worst of demons, yet his heart was a weak as grass around Rin. Sesshoumaru had first started traveling with her when she was 7 years old. They'd been traveling together for around ten years. He'd always thought humans were weak, and had no loyalty.

Rin was a different story. She had stayed by Sesshoumaru's side for ten long years. She was now around 17, give or take a few months. She'd transformed into a beautiful rose of a young woman. Her body was smooth and curved masterfully, almost like she had been painted. Since then she's developed quite nicely, curves in all the right places, but still a child at heart. Her bright smile grasps the attention of every one. She's dressed in a beautiful purple silk kimono that comes to her ankles with slits up either side running up to her waist. Her kimono has v-cut in the front that goes to her naval and reveals a little but tempting bit off her perfect cleavage. Sesshoumaru walked along side Rin day after day, but today was different for some reason. He had to make it different.

Rin looked at Sesshoumaru, who was obviously lost in thought. She couldn't help but smile. Every time she looked at him she smiled. It was her little way of telling him she loved him, even if he would never understand it. She looked around and saw Janken walking beside Ahe-Une, the two headed pack animal. Janken and Rin had never really gotten along, but they had formed a truce of a kind. If either one of them had broken the truce, they wouldn't have been traveling with Lord Sesshoumaru. Rin had always liked traveling of any kind. As a young girl she hadn't gotten too, until she met Sesshoumaru that is. Rin hated her old memories. The villagers had beaten her, and shunned her disowning her after her parents died. She was at the brink of death when

Sesshoumaru had rescued her from hell on earth.She had always shown him her gratitude by answering his every beck and call. Even when it was pointless, she'd brought him things to make him smile. Rin was the only human he'd ever cared about. She knew that, but she didn't care. He knew nothing about humans, and learned as he went along. Demons and Humans were so different yet so similar. Even though demons where more powerful physically, humans had more power spiritually. Sesshomaru learned that quickly, and after only a few weeks with Rin, too. He still had a long way to come before he understood something so simple as a human girl. Demons like him understood things a complicated as the solar system, and it's wonders, but not things so earthly and simple as a young woman.

"Sesshomaru, when are we going to rest?" Rin said wearily, with a bit of attitude in her voice. Sesshoumaru looked at her and frowned; "Gomen-sai Sesshoumaru-Samma" Rin apologized as she bowed. Sesshoumaru looked at her puzzled

"Rin, there is no need to apologize. You are only tired." Sesshoumaru said, with a small smile.

"Yes sir, I really am tired though." She said with a sigh of relief.

"Then we will rest here."

"Right here milord?" Janken said startled.

"Yes, here. It's as good a spot as any." Sesshoumaru replied hitting Janken on the head for questioning him. Janken yelped and then sighed stopping Ahe-Une. Rin grabbed her blankets and spread them out close to the fire pit Janken had set up. Soon the fire was roaring and Janken and Rin were sipping some venison stew. Sesshoumaru sat down close to Rin soaking up her sweet scent all night.

The next morning at early sun rise Rin woke up, with a cold sweat running down her face. She had a terible dream the night before. She couldn't tell Sesshoumaru, he'ld think she was crazy for worrying about a dream. Although it seamed as real as could be.

In the dream Rin was sitting by the camp-fire like usual, and Sesshoumaru was off hunting. A scream came from the woods, and Rin and Janken ran. When they came upon the desacrated body of demon ripped limb from limb, the turned it face up and saw the worst thing emaginable. Lord Sesshoumaru had been murdered on a hunting trip. Rin's head was racing to find a way to save him. She couldn't think of one, but then she ran her eyes across his body and saw his two swords, Toukijin, and Tensuiga. Tensuiga had saved her life, maybe it would save him. She ran over to him and drew his Tensuiga. As she did she felt the power pulsing through it.

Rin took the sword, and slashed Sesshoumaru's head. Janken skwaked, and ran around.

"Rin what are you doing to his body?"He yelled. Rin turned and looked at him with her hazel orbs.

"I'm bringing him back!" She replied.

"That wont work!"

"Yes it will!"

"No it wont!" They continued arughing until they noticed a strange, glowing light coming from Sesshoumaru's body. The light grew brighter and brighter until enulfed half the forest. When the light dimmed, a strange figure emerged from the light.
