*author's note*
So I started a new fanfic, because the fact that Sesshomaru cares for a human warms my insides to the point where I need more. I need more Sesshomaru (because he's actually pretty damn fine) and I need more Rin (because she's just so damn cute). Plus I've always thought that when Rin gets older, of course the only man for her is going to be Sesshomaru. I know there was that thing with Kagura (which is also really cute, maybe I'll make a fanfic on that someday), but I really think Rin is Sesshomaru's destiny.

Enjoy!
Oh, and please feel free to leave reviews of any kind. I take critiques better than compliments, they really help develop one as a writer.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin ran after her master after hopping down from A-Un's back. "How are you? I missed you." She stopped and looked up at him, smiling. His golden eyes eyes so warm and welcoming.
Sesshomaru smiled. "I missed you too, Rin. What kept you and A-Un so long?" He reached out and brushed a stray hair of her's back in to place. She blushed. She's so innocent, he thought.
"I wanted to make sure I got enough food for dinner!" Rin held up a large pack filled to the brim with fish. "See?"
Sesshomaru nodded, but said nothing more. Turning his back to Rin, he walked back to their camp. He felt a growing pain in his chest every time he looked at her. She's breath-taking now that she is a woman. He found himself musing. But I can't do that to her.
Rin quietly followed Sesshomaru back to their camp. She couldn't understand why Lord Sesshomaru never looked at her any more. Ever since she turned 18 two years ago, Sesshomaru had made himself even more distant from her, and she just couldn't figure out why.
A young man stumbled into their path not long after Sesshomaru and Rin had reunited. "Excuse me," he glanced from Sesshomaru to Rin. "I need help..." The man removed his arm from where it had been resting to reveal a giant gash in his abdomen. "I was attacked," Words were becoming harder for the man to make. He swayed from one side to the other before toppling over.
Rin stifled a small scream and ran towards the man.
"Leave him," Sesshomaru growled.
His young companion looked up at her Lord. "But, my Lord, he's hurt. He'll die here if I don't do something." Rin was starting to panic. "I have to help him." Disobeying her Lord's order, she began to remove the victim's clothing on his torso.
"Rin," Sesshomaru growled, but she ignored him.
"Hey, stay awake," she told the man. "You'll get through this, just stay awake, okay?"
The man nodded. Rin continued her work, ripping apart the man's clothing to make a sort of bandage.
"There, that should work." She stood and helped the man back to his feet. "That bandage will hold until you get to the next village. It's about a day's walk, so you'll need food and shelter." Sesshomaru's eyes shot towards Rin, almost saying I dare you to invite him to stay. "I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance," Rin said obediently. "I do hope you make it there safely."
The man hobbled off in the direction of the village. "Thank you," he muttered to Rin.
Sesshomaru watched as the man struggled away. I wonder why Rin cared for him so much. "Young man," Sesshomaru called.
"Yes?" The man called back.
"Come stay at our camp," Sesshomaru said, glancing curiously at Rin. "We will guide you to the village in the morning."
Almost imediately, Rin grabbed A-Uh's reigns from her Lord, and guided the beast to the man. "What is your name?" She inquired as she helped the man onto A-un.
"Ken'ichi," the man grunted.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin walked up to the tree Sesshomaru had been leaning against.
"Go to sleep, Rin. Quit pestering me." Sesshomaru glanced at her. She was beautiful. Standing there in her armor. With her physical ability increasing every day, she will make a fine warrior. "You disrupt my thoughts, child."
Rin let out a hmph. "I am not a child, Sesshomaru-sama."
Oh, Rin. Sesshomaru mused. How well I know that.
"Why have you distanced yourself from me? You used to be distant before, but now you hardly even look at me. Only passing glances, or a glare when you're angry with me. But even now, as we speak, you keep your head turned." Rin took a step closer to her Lord. "I believe I deserve an explanation."
"Stay back, Rin." Sesshomaru growled.
"Why?" She pressed. "Why must you be this way, my Lord?" Rin reached for Sesshomaru, but he turned and pushed her away.
"Quit disobeying me, Rin." Sesshomaru said. Now, he was looking her dead in the eye. She stood, frozen in place. "Now go to sleep." The demon waited for her to turn and leave, but she just stood there, starting at him. "Rin," he said cautiously. "Don't test me."
Just keep looking at me, Rin thought. That's all I want, is for you to look at me. "I don't want to leave your side," she whispered.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly. "Is that all?"
Rin nodded.
Sesshomaru looked at her a moment longer."Then come," he said, opening his arms invitingly. She wants to be near me, Sesshomaru thought. And I can only dream of being close to her. Rin stood in the circle of his arms, looking up at him with a look of sheer happiness. Together, they sat down. Ren curled up next to his mokomoko, cradled in Sesshomaru's lap.
"So warm..." she muttered as she almost immediately drifted off to sleep.
Sesshomaru studied her sleeping face. She is all too beautiful, he mused. All I want is her. Sesshomaru looked up into the sky. "Oh, Rin. What a bind you have put me in." The demon closed his eyes and drifted off into a hearty slumber.
