A/N: Ok, this is my first Sesshomaru/Rin fanfic! I love that pairing and I thought why not write a story of my own! Ok, this first chapter may be a bit short. I only have about 15 minutes to write it and believe it or not I'm writing it as I go along! Lets see what I come up with shall we? Enjoy!
Chapter 1 Awakened by the unknown
The day seemed long, longer than usual to be precise. Her feet were tired and her eyes were heavy. Instinct over took her and she patted AhUn. The two- headed dragon kneeled down and she climbed aboard. Without thinking she let out a rather loud yawn causing her lord and master to stop, "Is something wrong my lord?" she asked.
"Rin, I have told you before, when you grow tired you must inform me. I don't want you to fall ill again." Sesshomaru turned to face her. The girl was no longer a mere child. She had grown into a beautiful young woman. Her kimono was no longer orange and white but merely an amethyst and black combo. She no longer wore a side ponytail but kept her long black hair straight. It was almost the same length of his one silver hair, "Jaken, Jaken!"
Jaken turned around to find he had ventured further than needed, "Lord Sesshomaru!" he came running and grumbled under his breath, "Oh that girl. I do not see why Lord Sesshomaru had allowed her to follow us all these years."
Sesshomaru could hear his servants ranting and raving. He picked up the staff of two heads and whacked him across the temple, "That is enough Jaken." He looked up, "Now- uh" Rin was gone. Surely she wasn't hungry already. He could tell because she would let him know if she was going to search for food, "AhUn which way?" the two headed dragon both glanced the direction that had just left from, "Very well, Jaken, stay hear with AhUn. When I return with Rin you better wish you that you are not the reason that she took off." Using his demonic power Sesshomaru took off. Soon he found her lying next to a river, "Rin?" he could sense salty droplets coming from her. At that moment he knew that she had shed tears not long ago.
Rin sat up but refused to turn around, "Why?"
He stopped short, "Why what?"
Rin stood up and looked at her reflection in the river, "Why have you allowed me to follow you after all these years. I am always in your way and Master Jaken well, I guess there's no need to speak for him." She turned around, "Lord Sesshomaru, tell me something. When you spend your time, saving me do you do it from the need to protect me or is it something else."
Sesshomaru was taken aback by these questions but answered nonetheless, "Rin I honestly don't know why you would ask something so foolish. Now come We are-" he was stopped when Rin took of yet again, "That girl"
Rin continued to run. She knew not of her destination, only that she had to test her Lord strength in love and desire to help her. If he followed her then she would find her answer. If not well, then she would add it to the never-ending list to her questions about life why she was still alive.
It didn't take long for Sesshomaru to catch up with the girl, "Rin, wait, please." The one word he refused to allow to speak escaped from his lips without hesitation. It must have worked because she stopped and turned around.
Rin looked to the ground and sighed, "Just tell me one thing. How do you really feel about me. If you tell me then I will tell you."
Sesshomaru without even thinking found himself gathering her into his arms. Her scent overwhelmed him like the flowers she used to carry around. How did he fell about her? He lightly kissed her forehead, "Rin, I'm sorry but that's a question even I don't have an answer to."
Rin felt his lips on her head and smiled, "It's all right my lord, I only hope you can forgive me for running off I-" another yawn overtook her words causing her to giggle, "I guess I am getting tired,"
"Shh," Sesshomaru pulled her close to him, "Hang on." With only one good arm he couldn't hold her as tightly as he desired and besides, she was no longer a child.
Rin without hesitating wrapped her arms around her lord's body, minding his armor at the same time. Soon she was asleep but her grip held firm as ever.
Sesshomaru returned to the place where he had left his two servants, "Let's go Jaken." He placed a now sleeping Rin on top of AhUn's back, "Be careful, she's asleep."
"My lord what happened out there?" Jaken asked.
Sesshomaru looked down, "Consider yourself lucky Jaken, you are not to blame. But just for the record." He stepped on the toad like demon, "If Rin ever takes off again I will blame you, understand?"
Jaken answered thought his mouth was full of dirt, "Ysh my lorbh."
Sesshomaru turned to look at Rin and thought back to what had just occurred merely moments ago.
FLASHBACK
Rin looked to the ground and sighed, "Just tell me one thing. How do you really feel about me. If you tell me then I will tell you."
END OF FLASHBACK
That question was something she had never uttered before and now the answer was something he desperately wanted to find, "Come Jaken, we're going." He started to walk again and could hear the footfalls of his two servants and the soft shallow breaths of his female companion. Their destination was unknown to them but they continued on their journey across the land…
