Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha Series.

In the early morning spring air, dew dripped off of the long grass leaves and birds twittered softly as they dash and twirl through the air. It had been seven years. Seven years since she had began her foolish life as an ordinary mortal woman. She knew the demon lord despised weaknesses, especially the one that humans called Love. In knowing that, Rin had attempted with all of her might to dispatch those worthless feelings. She knew that the demon would never return her feelings. Sesshomaru treated everyone equally, regarding them with impassiveness and contempt. He was incapable of feelings such as Love, Sadness, Compassion and Happiness. She knew that he was incapable, for she was a witness. She had watched when she was a mere child, how he tore apart his enemies with a flicker of his wrist using the toxin in his claws. What amazed Rin the most was how he had done this without an ounce of emotion on his face. How could a powerful, aristocratic assassin such as him love a mere human?

As the years went by, Sesshomaru had begun to silently and stealthily provide for her needs. He had made sure that Clean Kimonos were provided. He even took the time to forge a Katana of her own, for protection purposes. He watched over her every movement from the Shadows of the trees without her awareness and he was only a breath away when she needed him. Even his dense servant, Jaken, was no fool to his lord's meticulously careless yet hawkish vigilance over the girl. Jaken would often shoot his mouth off at her about causing him so much trouble with her pathetic human weakness and being unable to provide for her own needs. Rin simply ignored the Kappa and stuck her nose up in the arm. She knew that the poor Kappa yearned for Sesshomaru's praise and affection. He was most likely jealous. Didn't he know that the only way for him to even come close to earning any affection was to be just a little nicer to Rin?

Rin quietly giggled to herself. She had never really put that much thought into her Lord before. He is a really complicated person to read and she just couldn't help thinking about him sometimes. "Rin-chan."

Rin quickly darted her head up when she heard her name being called. "I will be gone for a little while. Miyuki is in labor and I must go and assist. Would ye mind looking after the hut while I am gone?"

Kaede had gotten much frailer then what she used to be. Her long, stringy hair now hung over her wide thighs. She still adorned the traditional priestess outfit and more wrinkles seemed to have formed over the tiring years. It seems her role as head priestess in the village took quite a toll on her. Rin nodded slowly and watched as the Old woman turned her back and descended from the hut.

Rin sighed. She certainly did not appreciate being left in this boring, old hut all day. She was a woman for Christ sake, she had better things to do rather then sit in an old hut all day and wait for her to return. She was about to consider taking a short walk when suddenly, the Old Priestess's head popped back through the door.

"It seems ye have a visitor."

Rin quirked her eyebrow and asked quietly," Who is it?"

"Sesshomaru." With that, the Priestess disappeared back behind the straw door and Rin felt her body heat up in excitement. "Lord Sesshomaru…is here?"

Rin simply could not believe it. It had been exactly 11 full moons since she had last seen his porcelain face. Why was he coming to see her so soon? It was unusual for Sesshomaru to come see her earlier then a year after he visits her. Rin gulped nervously as she slowly fidgeted with her White and Red Silk Kimono. She eloquently stood from her spot on the floor and gingerly pulled back the straw curtain, coming face-to-face with the Demon Lord himself.

He stood in all his pride. His back straight, with his chin held high. His molten amber eyes were cold, yet soft as they watched her move in front of him. She smiled admiringly. He was truly handsome. He still wore his usual white Kimono with the Red honey combs and flowers on the Collar and his sleeves. His armor fit his toned body well. It included a spiked pauldron that covered his left shoulder and attached to the upper section of his cuirass. The blue and yellow Obi held the armor in place around his waist as it hung low around the front of his legs. His soft, silky Sashinuki Hakama he wore were a pearly white, as were the rest of his clothing, making it easier to see in the Dark. His Prussian blue moon crescent gleamed brightly in the night, as he face remained in the same indifferent and emotionless façade. He was everything she ever wanted. Her eyes gleamed happily," Lord Sesshomaru, I wasn't expecting you so soon. How good it is to see you once more."

His eyes softened slightly," Indeed, Rin. Now then, pack your belongings. I am taking you back with me."

Rin's eyes widened in astonishment, "Nani?"
