So this is my first fanfic and I love this pairing so why not. Rin starts out at about 11 years old. When she's feeling heartbroken right now it's not in a sense of love as a relationship, just in a friendship/caretaker type love. It will get to the other one by chapter 2 when Rin is 21.

"Rin," Sesshomaru kept walking ahead but he knew Rin would pay attention, as always.

"Yes, milord," she replied as she ran up with her usual smile. As usual, Sesshomaru kept his eyed towards the direction in which they were headed. They were walking in the woods and he replied, "Rin, do you know where we are heading?" He turned to her for a second. She replied, No, milord, may I ask where?" He didn't stop walking forward until she finished. He turned to her with cloudy eyes. Rin couldn't quite pin point what the emotion actually was and it confused her very much.

"Rin, you are to stay in the village with Kagome and the others, you must stay with Kaede and she will take you in for the time being." Rin couldn't believe what her lord was saying to her. She didn't understand why he would leave her in the hands of someone he didn't even know.

"B-but milord, why would-" "Rin, do not question this. We are almost there." Sesshomaru knew why he must leave, but he could not let her know. He was to go to battle for many years until there was peace within the Eastern and Western lands. He did not know how long it would take, but he knew he could not take Rin with him. Rin had not spoken after he had mentioned that they were getting closer to the village. She wanted to cry and fall to her knees, but she knew her lord would not accept that "nonsense" as he called it.

After a few hours (which to both of them, unknowingly to one another, felt like ages) they had arrived. Rin's heart stopped when she saw Sesshomaru pick up the pace and head to InuYasha and Kagome's home. InuYasha had stepped out and partially unsheathed his sword but put it away when he saw Rin.

"What are you doing here, Sesshomaru," InuYasha inquired half angrily.

"Do not anger me you insolent-" "InuYasha?" Sesshomaru was cut off the the sound of Kagome's voice coming towards them. "InuYasha? Who's at the- oh hello Sesshomaru, oh its nice to see you too Rin," Kagome looked to Rin and saw the sadness in her eyes, she quickly looked up to Sesshomaru and noticed he meant business. She realized it was best if she stayed quiet.

"If you don't mind, I have business to attend to for a while and I need Rin to stay here in the care of Kaede," Sesshomaru didn't look at them, just at Rin who was staring at the ground, fiddling with her fingers. Kagome and InuYasha exchanged a look. Kagome nodded and led them to Kaede's village home. She opened her door reluctantly and saw the two standing there. "Kaede, you have dealt with InuYasha and it would only be best if you cared for Rin while I am gone for a while."

Rin didn't say anything while the two conversed. She was feeling a mixture of many emotions. But sadness was the biggest one that Sesshomaru could not stop thinking about. It had become nighttime and Sesshomaru had to leave. Rin would not be able to stomach her lord walking out on her. He was her everything and she could not imagine growing up without being next to him. He was the closest person she had. She stopped in her thoughts when she noticed he was walking towards the door. 'No,' she thought. She shot up and looked at him with anger and sadness in her eyes. How could he leave her alone? After saving her life twice he could just leave? Did he dislike having her with him all these years? He sensed all these questions flooding her mind but knew he could not answer them now. He knelt down and Rin ran to him and hugged him with tears streaming down her face. She knew he disliked tears and she had never done anything like this before. But she just couldn't bear to see her lord walking out on her. He put his arm around her but didn't bring her closer.

"Rin," he looked down at her. Through tears she answered,"yes, milord?" "I do not know when, but I'll be back." She nodded and took a few steps back. Without a second look, Sesshomaru walked out of Kaede's home and disappeared into the forest.

Rin's heart broke. She knew it would be a long time before she'd ever see her lord again. Kaede took her and led her to an extra futon she had on the floor. She lied down onto the mattress and cried herself to sleep.

Morning had come and Rin felt emotionally exhusted. She didn't remember how the night had played out until she looked around and took in her surroundings once again. She heard the shuffle of the door and say Kaede walking inside.

"Oh you've woken up. Come eat breakfast, child. I must go over how our days shall work now that you are here," said Kaede as she set up the table for her and Rin. Rin wasn't feeling very well but knew she must respect her elder, now, caretaker. On the table were fish and berries she knew this was something she'd down in no time but she could not eat feeling as though Sesshomaru had abandoned her. Kaede sensed her sadness radiating off of her and knew she must talk to her about this. "Rin, dear. I know I'm on the verge of death but I'm still alive and wise enough to tell you could not be any more uncomfortable in the position that you are in right now." Rin looked up wide-eyed and suprised. "Now tell me, child, why are you so upset that he left, eh? If I'm not mistaken, he grew up stating he disliked humans, its amazes me that he traveled so long with-" she was cut off by Rin's outburst. "Sesshomaru does not dislike Rin!" Rin stood up from her chair as she saw a hint of amusement from Kaede. "He cares about me, he saved my life twice, he did not reject my presence when I followed him after he revived me the first time. He lets me do as I please so long as I don't find myself in trouble and even when I do he does not become angry with Rin," Rin breathed heavily after she finished and sat back down and sank into her chair slowly. She held her head in her hands as she realized he left her. She let the tears fall down her face, not caring that she had just been rude to her elder. Kaede knew it was a sensitive subject for her and no longer asked her about it as the years passed.

5 years later, Rin was 16 years of age. It was the time when suitors began to arrive and win over the hearts of young women. Rin had become a lovely, young lady and caught the eyes of many willing men. She had gained a modest hourglass shape. She looked very, very delicate and carried herself well as she grew older. She lost most of the twinkle in her eye as the years progressed while not having her lord Sesshomaru. She declined every suitor, even those who seemed worthy of her love. She couldn't bring herself to say yes to any man without having the approval of her lord. Kaede knew this, yet did not speak it to Rin. She simply opened the door and told the young men that Rin was not ready to be married and taken just yet so she asked them to wait. But in her heart, Kaede knew Rin's heart (whether she knew it yet or not) only belonged to a handsome yokai by the name of Sesshomaru.

So this is the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and any reviews are welcome 3
