Hey! Chimo here.~ I do not own Inuyasha or any of these characters. Lemons in later chapters, and yes Rin is 18 in this story. Yay no shota! Lol~
Rin is a beauty beyond compare. Nothing in this world could beat the small ray of sunshine Sesshomaru had found. She was elegant, sweet, a wonder of this natural world, and oh so human. It had been years since Sesshomaru left her in the village with Kaede and Kagome; in that time she became a wonderful woman of 18, she had many suitors and yet she displayed little to no interest in them. She was his Rin, and she yearned for her lord day in and day out he was on her mind.
"Rin, Rin!" Kagome looked at the young daydreaming girl, rather shocked about what she had been witness too. Rin was bent over pulling herbs for Kaede and the female kept sighing, a slow blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Kagome?" She looked back at the older woman with Inuyasha's son Sai perched upon her hip. She had grown older, yet she was still beautiful in Rin's eyes.
Kagome shifted, her hair moving from her shoulder revealing the imprint of Inuyasha's mating mark. "You were daydreaming dear Rin, it was about him again wasn't it?"
Rin felt her blush darken, her hands stuffed some herbs into the satchel around her hip. "Maybe, do you think he will ever come back for me? It has been almost eight years." Rin's voice trailed off, the edges of doubt creeping into her voice. 'You know better! Lord Sesshomaru said he will be back and so he will!'
Kagome released the ties around her kimono sleeves, letting them billow out. "I know he will be back for you Rin, now let's get these back to Kaede it looks like a storm might roll in soon." 'You better come soon Sesshomaru before you miss out on a chance to have someone as beautiful as Rin slip out of your grasp.'
Rin looked up at the sky, noticing it darken with grey clouds, her eyes flitted back to the dust, dirt path that wound like a snake to the village, her hand clasped the satchel closed, and her legs took her full speed toward the hut on the outskirts of the village.
Kagome followed, and Sai clung to the woman with all of his might. As Kagome entered Kaede's hut, the sky let loose the rain it had been collecting lately. Sai made soft gurgling sounds, climbing slowly off his mother's hip and toddled around the wooden floor.
Kaede looked at the women, then to the small child. Her eyes noticed the features of Inuyasha, the eyes, silver hair and two ears perched at the top of his head. However, he had the temper of his mother, and the kindness that was all his own. He had a demonic aura but it was faint, and it was easily hidden from the world. "Hello did you gather the herbs we needed? You know how many accidents happen around here and we needed them for the ointments."
Rin handed Kaede her satchel that contained healing herbs, whereas Kagome's held several personal herbs she needed at the Shrine. Since Kikyo had left this world for good, she had taken the roll as a priestess, and she had been teaching Rin how to become one as well. Kaede was teaching Rin what herbs were good, what ones were poisonous and which ones were used in cooking. Rin could easily master these herbs, and once went out to help the local army by being a nurse.
Kagome looked at the pair, a smile on her face as she grabbed an umbrella from her backpack. 'Thank the gods I thought ahead.' "Rin, do you want to come back?"
Rin shook her head. "I will wander around for now I think I dropped something somewhere." This of course was a lie, what could she have possibly dropped? She just wanted to be in the rain she enjoyed so much, as a child she remembered how Sesshomaru seemed to smile as she ran in the rain, letting the puddles form around her.
Kaede waved farewell as Kagome left, then turned her attentions to young Rin. "Young one, why do you wait so long for one whom might not return? I heard Sango's brother even asked for your hand."
Rin snapped out of her memories, and cast her eyes down to the floor. "I just...I know he will return to me he always keeps his promises! I feel like, it could be someday soon that he comes to get me."
Kaede looked at the young woman with pity. "You've been saying this for eight years my child."
Rin bit back a retort. "I just, I want to wait." She bowed to Kaede, and took off through the rain. 'Is this true? He isn't coming back? He has too! He promised!' She hopped up onto a slick rock, sighing softly.
"In the mountains in the breaze
in the sky and in my dreams
Lord Sesshomaru where are you?
Jaken is serveing under you too
I will wait for you on my own
Please return to me
Waiting all alone."
She sang under her breath, remembering warmly about how she would sing this song when she waited for her Lord.
A low cough emerged from behind her. "Rin." A voice growled lowly.
Rin recognized that voice after all these years; so she turned around, and looked at the male whom held her heart. "My lord!" Her shock was evident in her voice, she wanted to scream, cry, hug and whimper all at once. 'He came back! But, for me? Maybe he doesn't want me. Maybe he won't return my Love.'
Rin's eyes cast themselves down.
Sesshomaru stepped out from the shadows, his golden eyes blazing in the inky blackness. His hair was damp from the rain, yet it remained a luminous silver, almost like it was made of moonlight. His skin remained pale, and the crescent moon on his forehead stood out easily in the darkness. He still wore his armor, and that brought a smile to Rin's face. 'Rin has grown after all these years.'
She is beautiful, we were right to leave herhere. Sesshomaru's demon seemed to grin when he looked away from Rin for a moment.
'We should not have come, she is still a human. She is no suitable mate is she?'
We love her, so why can't we have her human or not? Just bite her, or I will do it myself!
Sesshomaru leaned down to RIn, catching her chin in his claws. He gazed into her shockingly brown eyes, noticing several emotions swirling within their depths. "Rin."
Rin looked at her Lord, attempting to lean in closer to him. A low whimper escaped her lips as she looked at him, a plea in her eyes, and her undying love in her heart.
He leaned down slowly, tempted by his demon. He placed a kiss onto her lips, soft, gentle but nothing to scare her away. 'My Rin, she does return these feelings, but why? Why should I allow her, a human? Is she different?'
Just shut up, and claim her!
Rin kissed her Lord back, hoping the the gods that this was no simple dream. 'He does love me doesn't he or is this just another dream?'
He released her from his kiss, looking at his charge, his calm mask back on. "Get your things, you are coming back with me."
