It was a beautiful summer night. You would think that you could sleep easy tonight. But 8 years old Rin knows better.

After the death of Kagura Sesshomaru walked slowly to his group. At first glance you would think that nothing is wrong, because his face was as emotionless as ever.
But inside he was boiling with rage. His hatred for Naraku is now 10 times worse. He could only think of Kagura and her last words before she went along with the Wind.

Meanwhile, Rin can not sleep. Determined she waits until Sesshomaru is back. Normally, Rin would be fast asleep, but is concerned about the Demon Lord.

Sesshomaru finally came back. His golden eyes saw Rin and stopped.

Rin looked up to him and tried to look through his mask, but it was as hard as normal.

"My Lord?" Said Rin. She stood and walked over to him.

Sesshomaru said nothing, but continued to watch Rin.

Suddenly Rin remained standing. Is this really a good idea? To just walk up to him?

Rin turned around and wanted to walk back when she heard something. She looked around and saw Sesshomaru take off his armor. He walked over to Rin and remained standing in front of her nose.

It was surprising how long the Dog Demon was, he towers over Rin.

Rin looked up nervously. She looked deep into his eyes and saw up close that they were wet. Rin did not know what she saw, but she could no longer think about it because Sesshomaru did something she never expected.

Sesshomaru bent down until he was parallel with Rin and put his arms around her. He got up with Rin in his arms and walked away.

Rin could not believe what happened. Sesshomaru has never embraced her. She laid her head on his tail like Mokomoko on his shoulder and used her hand to stroke it as if she wanted to comfort him. Sesshomaru put his head on hers and closed his eyes, but kept walking.

Sesshomaru stopped after a while and finally he spoke:

"Here she became one with the wind ..."

Rin at first did not understand what he meant but then it hit her. Of course, Lord Sesshomaru is sad because Lady Kagura is gone.

She looked up and saw a beautiful meadow with white flowers.

Sesshomaru sat down and kept a firm hold on Rin, as if afraid that Rin would disappear if he let go.

"Rin ...', he began, it looked like he was shaking. "I can not lose you. I now realize just how important you are to me. You're the only one for whom I really care. You are my pup, Rin. Maybe not with blood, but in my heart you are my daughter. "

Sesshomaru pressed his face against her hair as his voice choked.

Rin felt wetness on her hair and looked up. Sesshomaru's face was of sadness and tears ran through his red stripes.

Rin reached up and wiped the tears away and smiled sadly for her lord.

"Do not worry, my lord." Rin whispered. "I'm always with you. I always feel safe with you. Before I met you I always felt lonely. "

Sesshomaru smiled and took her hand and held it.

"Shall I tell you something, Rin?" Sesshomaru said and pressed her tightly against him. "I was lonely, but after you came into my life, you gave me a goal: Someone to protect. I'm not used to these emotions, Rin. But you should know that I'm always there for you."

He placed a kiss on her forehead and whispered:

''I love you''
