(A/N:A little Rin/ Sesshoumaru fluff I've written up. It may or may not be canon to the anime/manga, but I had to spice it up)

"A Little Bit of Love"

I laid there, wishing the pain would come back. Then I would know I wasn't dead. My little arms and legs were wet with blood and bodily fluids. The people of my village had done it, just because I couldn't explain why I was taking their food. I couldn't explain because I was mute. I'll never get the last bit of food the demon lord Sesshoumaru. Perhaps he will think I've forgotten him. But I have gotten ahead of myself.

My name is Rin. I am ten years old, with long shoulder length black hair. A few months ago, I was playing after doing some hard work for my master, when I haphazardly ran into an injured demon named Sesshoumaru. He was really badly hurt, and I knew I could help him. So I started taking the food from our village to him.

As his strength returned, he started trying to communicate with me, but it wasn't easy, since I couldn't talk. I kept bringing him food, and even though I was silent, he seemed to take comfort in my presence. I sensed an odd sort of bond growing between us, that bordered on family. But alas,it was not to be.

Tonight, as I was sneaking out another load, Master's son caught me. They'd been suspecting me for a long time,he told me, and now,I was to be made to pay. He dragged me up the hill to Master's house. Before long,I was thrown to the village border, and beaten brutally. Rocks were thrown at me,most of them connecting to my head. Soon,I lost all feeling,as blood spilled everywhere. We burn her tomorrow, somebody yelled, turning to go.

I lay in a soft bed of blankets, barely awake. Awake? But wasn't I dead? I looked around the room, as it slowly came into focus. There in the doorway stood the demon Sesshoumaru. He came to my side, and sat down. He explained that because of my kindness to him, he had revived me using his sword Tensaiga. He even surprised me by saying I could talk now. The first thing I do is tell him my name. "I'm Rin." I say to him.

The demon lord smiles and replies,"I thank you for your kindness, Rin. If you wish, you may travel with my servant and I."

That is all it took. A little bit of love on the part of a demon, and I have healed of all the wounds I have ever suffered. He may never say he does love me, but I know that emotion will be there inside him.
