'I never known anyone quite like him,but I haven't known many people.' Rin thought to herself of her beloved lord Sesshomaru, that night looking up at the sky in the woods. Ten years since Naraku's defeat and the completion of the Shikon Jewel Rin is no longer a small child but a beautiful woman: Age 19, tall (5,7) curvy figure and long dark brown hair down her back.
The next morning the gang were heading to Sesshomaru's palace in the west without a days notice, but most days were like that. "Lord Sesshomaru why are we returning to the palace?" Rin asked, looking into her lord's cold golden eyes which went warm for a second then back cold.
"I am tired and have no errands to attend to." Usually during the winter they would go back to the palace because Sesshomaru worried that Rin would not survive traveling days at a time in the cold weather. During that time she would play in the snow and throw snowballs at everyone but only Sesshomaru would throw them back. Everyone in the castle feared what he would do if someone threw a snowball at her too hard. This kind of disappointed her but she never showed it.
After a day of traveling the group reached the palace late that night. Servants and guards greeted them with open arms, especially to Rin. To everyone she was like a little sister, her presence made the large palace a home. Since she came into the house there was a garden built just for her filled with flowers acquired from their travels.
Rin was treated like a princess, which was strange since she was a human with no royal status and was surrounded by youkai. Everything she wanted was received, which was never much; she was always humble. Rin also had two handmaidens named Oiko and Ziyi. Oiko had green hair and red eyes. Ziyi, however, had red hair and green eyes. Bothtaught her calligraphy, good etiquette, and about the "birds and the bees". Rin caught on to the writing quickly but she was still a little boyish from traveling with men most of her life. The youkai sisters looked at her as a little sister and a friend.
The palace was beautiful, the gates were made of solid steel that never rusted. Inside the palace floors were made of the finest marble. Large windows were in every room and the walls were filled with long scrolls and gold plaques of demons and gods.
After everyone entered the house Sesshomaru was in the garden, sitting down on a bench thinking to himself.
'Eventually she is going to age and die, mabye I should marry her off to one of those local lords on my lands. I can't , I can't let her go.' That very thought stung his heart. "Do I love her? This Sesshomaru falling for a human girl, no, a woman." 'I've been feeling this way for almost three years.'
"Lord Sesshomaru isn't it beautiful out here?" Rin chripped, disturbing his train of thought, but it didn't matter. Sitting next to her lord, Rin stared at the stars waiting for his reply.
"Humph, I guess it is."A shooting star goes by. "Make a wish."said lord Sesshomaru, still watching the stars. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes and said "To be with you forever."
What she said shocked him but this was what he really hoped for a long time. Keeping the same emotionless face he said "I've been looking for a way to make you live as long as I will." A large smile grew on Rin's face. "Really? You have my lord?"
Three years ago he has been secrectly been searching for a way to make Rin immortal since he addmitted to having feelings for her, but to no avail.
"Rin promise me you will stay with me." showing a slight bit of emotion in his voice.
"Yes! I will!" jumping into his arms knocking him off the bench onto the ground. Laying on top of her lord, slowly their faces came closer and closer ...
"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! Someone said it's urgent to speak with you!" Jaken yelled running into the garden ruining the moment. Rin quickly jumped off of him and ran into the palace.
"Why do you disturb me Jaken?" the taiyoukai hissed slowly rising from the ground.
"Guh? Why was that human on top of you Lo-." before he could finish he was kicked against the wall. Sesshomaru walked to the gates of his palace to see who distubed him. It was a male demon standing confidently in front of him.
" I wish to proposition with you about your ward Rin."
"Of what?" glaring down at the short youkai.
"For her hand in marriage." he cooly said as if he were his equal; something Sesshomaru didn't like. Without a word the inuyoukai slashed the youkai with his fierce claws then gestered for his guards to take him away. He had always known that many human and youkai were attracted to Rin but none ever dared to be so bold.
'What if someone tries to take her away, or what if she leaves. What would I do? Let me just rest. I'm thinking too much' he thought to himself walking to his chambers.
