If your story has being bothering by OVERNINETHOUDSANDS, my advice to you is BLOCKS HER AND IGNORES HER. I feel like it is not my place to say since she has left me alone, but a few authors have come to me saying overninethoudsand's links had discouraged them in writing. Hope this advice help somewhat. She won't touch your story if you block her. If she reviews as guest, you can simply remove it.

And yes, I know, another story. Sigh… it is so hard to not write a new one. I have been trying VERY HARD to not write a new one, but they are swimming inside my head. Too many stories want to come out while I cannot finish the ones I started.

Well, this is a series of one shots, and there will be more to come. It mostly base on RinSess paring, but there are chance that other pairs will be thrown in here too. Some of these stories will be somewhat open ending.

This chapter is not a new idea because I've write something similar to this before. For a moment I was debating if I should publish this, but since I've already wrote it, why not. Anyway, review please.

Do you believe in the legend of the red threat? The threat of fate.

What if I told you I could see them?

It all started one morning sixteen years ago; it was my senior year in high school. I woke up on one ordinary morning that was not so ordinary because I saw a red threat tied onto my left pinky finger. I wondered what it was at the time. Tried as I might, I could not remove it, nor could I cut it lose. The threat extended endlessly. I did not know where it led or where it ended. It took me a while to realize what it was, but I realized all the same.

It was the legendary red threat of fate. The threat that tie to your destiny husband or wife. And I was the only who could see it.

I watched my mom and dad's threats magically straightened and shortened at their changed of distance in amazement. I smiled knowing they were meant to be with each other. The love they shared made me happy.

Walking to school, I noticed that everyone had one. People were walking around unaware of their threats. Some walked side by side or hand in hand with the person their threats connected with while some walked around unknown where their threats ended.

I was wondering where mine led too.

That was sixteen years ago.

I soon found out who my red threat was connected with.

It was shocking the hack out of me because he was not the one I had expected or hope to be connected to.

Who did I expect to be with you might ask?

My boyfriend, Sesshomaru Tashio.

But no, it was not with him.

My heart sank at the sight of his threat dragged to some unseen direction.

Even more surprising, my threat connected to one of my classmates name Kohaku. He was a nice guy and seemed to have an eye on me. The only problem was I did not love him. I was too deeply in love with Sesshomaru to see anyone else.

Same as Sesshomaru. He loved me and me alone too.

Many believed that Sesshomaru was incapable of love. Many did not even think he was capable of feeling emotions because of his cold stoic appearance. He was cold, I would not deny that. But I also knew that beneath his cold façade, there was a kind and warm side to him. The side that he showed only to me. Most importantly, he loved me. Loved me as much as I loved him.

I stared at Kohaku's hand in utter shock. He looked at his hand and knew that I could see the red threat. He could see it too.

He smiled.

I felt like crying but I was too stunned to even shade tears.

Kohaku told me he and I were fate to be together.

When he saw me the first time, I was already dating Sesshomaru, so he waited.

He always knew I would end up with him in the end so he waited. Waited for the day Sesshomaru and I would break up.

It was true that Kohaku and I were connected because I saw the red threat with my own eyes.

The only problem, the main one, was that I did not love him.

I was shaken so badly from the shock at the unwanted truth. I run out. I could not breathe and I had to get out of there. I made up excuses and went to the infirmary to escape.

Sesshomaru soon followed after me, concerned.

I threw myself at him, hugged him tightly as if my life depended on it.

I did not want to lose him. I love him too much. After being with him for two years, I could not imagine a life without him. He had already merged and became a part of me.

I did not want to face the cruel truth.

Why did I have to see the red threats?

Why did it not connect to Sesshomaru?

If I never saw it, I would have been content and happy with Sesshomaru.

I would not have this fear of losing him because I knew Sesshomaru loved me.

"What's wrong Rin," he asked in his deep monotone voice. It may sound cold to others, but not to me. His voice had always been warm when he talked to me.

"Don't leave me," I whispered in a shaky voice and held him tighter.

He was surprised at my strange behavior, but soothed me all the same.

"I won't go anywhere even if you tell me to." He assured me, kissing my crown lightly. I felt a warm sensation swell inside my chest, assuring me just how much I had been loved.

He held true to his word and stayed by my side that whole day. After that, whenever I needed him, he always came to me no matter where he was or what he was doing. Watching his actions made me certain that he was the one I loved.

I decided there and then whom I would spend my life with.

It matter not whom my threat connected to because I only want this beautiful man. Sesshomaru.

Kohaku had tried to hit on me a few times after that, but I blush him off. He was confidence that Sesshomaru and I would break up in the end and told me he would wait. That irritated me.

To be honest, his confidence scared me. It made me feel like it could come true, that Sesshomaru would leave me.

But Sesshomaru once again assured me that he would not leave me. That his warm protective hand would always be there ready to be hold any time I needed it.

So I let Kohaku wait.

I did not care how long he waited because I chose to love Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru alone.

We graduated and went to the same collage. All three of us, Sesshomaru, Kohaku and I.

Sesshomaru always made me smile and felt secured that I had made the right choice. Until she came alone.

Kagura. Sesshomaru's red string connected to hers.

I watched them in nervousness.

I was so afraid of what could happen. Of when it would happen. Of when our relationship would end.

Sesshomaru who never liked another girl seem to have a special bond when it came to Kagura. They slowly became friends.

My heart stopped every time I saw them together.

I've became so paranoid afraid that he would leave me.

The red strings that connected to their fingers shone brightly any time they were in front of me.

It hurt!

It hurt to know that he was fated to be with anther and not with me. I did not love him anyless than anyone, if not already the most, but why did the threat had to be tie with Kagura?

That threat should be mine.

Kohaku came to me and told me it was pointless to go against fate.

They were meant to be together same as us, Kohaku and I.

But I still loved Sesshomaru.

I loved him.

Only him.

As much as I told myself not to feel bothered by the red string, to trust and have faith in Sesshomaru, I could not.

I ended up having a break down.

Sesshomaru came to me, asking what had been bothering me.

I was so weak at that moment. So scared.

I did not want to lose him. I might not survive if I lose him.

Kohaku was not Sesshomaru.

He was not the man I loved.

But with my state of mind, I would not be surprise if Sesshomaru left me. He hated weak people and I had become so weak and clingy.

But I could no longer hold it in.

I told him about the threats.

I told him that we were not connected.

That he was connected with some else.

I cried.

I told him my feared of him taking off with Kagura. In that one weak moment I blurt out everything.

He surprised me with a tight hug.

"I don't know who my fated person or who yours is, and I don't care to find out. You are the only one I want." He confessed. "I will not allow any man to take you from me. If his fingers has the threats that connect to your, I will chops his fingers off. You're mine and mine alone." He said darkly, yet possessively. Somehow I found it funny and chuckled weakly among the sobs. He pulled me closer into his embrace. I loved his warm and protective embrace.

"You are the woman I choose and there will be no others. If being friends with Kagura makes you feel uneasy, I will not associate with her again."

I thought it was only pretty words, the words that he used to calm me down and warm my heart. But Sesshomaru was serious about it. He stopped associated with Kagura. I felt bad and told him it was okay if he wanted to remain friends with her. I wanted to trust him.

"Kagura is tolerable compares to other women. However if she makes you feel that uneasy, I see no point in associate with her. We are not close to begins with."

Then our lives went on.

Sesshomaru slowly made me feel secured of our love. There were so many times that our relationship were hanging on a threat, so many problems that threaten to part him from me, but we had one thing in comment that kept us together. We feelings that we would not letting each other go no matter what.

We got marry after we graduated from collage had found stable jobs.

Kohaku finally gave up. He looked sad, but he wished me good luck.

Kagura went aboard and I never heard of her again.

Years passed, and our family grew.

Sesshoamru and I had two beautiful children.

I still don't know how our mirage will end. I don't know if we would always be this happy in the future, but I know one thing for sure. No matter what happen, I will not regret the choice I've made.

Because I've followed my heart and married to the man I loved. Even if he is not one man fate had chosen for me.

But it was the choice I made myself with both heart and mind.

I am happy because Sesshoamru is my husband.

The husband I love with my whole heart.

My Sesshomaru.
