(A/N) hey, ihavealife here! This is a story, NOT A SEQUEL TO MY LAST STORY "HERE WE GO AGAIN". However, I will be working on that… I should hope. Anyways, enjoy this story! ^^
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha… just Sesshomaru and Rin. Just kidding, I don't own anything :(
Also, for those of you who have not read my last Rin/Sesshomaru story, here's what the titles in the dashes mean. –title- this is a song that corresponds to its following scene. To listen to it, simply go to youtube, search "Inuyasha ost _" and the name of the title.
Bothersome? You may think so. But TRUST ME, it makes everything SO much better. And really, this is a fanfiction, and we fans want to imagine the story as best as possible right? So please, do so!
-Demon, Sesshomaru-
"Lord Sesshomaru! LORD SESSHOMARU!" The green and grotesque imp, holding onto his two headed staff with two wrinkly hands ran through the field of the bloody remains of dead demons. He looked around and shuddered. His lord had definitely been here. This was urgent, and if he didn't find Sesshomaru soon, Rin could lose her life. "LORD SESSHOMARU! WHERE ARE Y—"
"Jaken," Sesshomaru hissed from behind the little imp. Jaken turned around to see his lord standing there, his claws bloodied and looking very irritated. The moon full moon cast behind him, illuminating the soft silk river which was his hair and his eyes radiated a tired gold. Surely even the great lord Sesshomaru was exhausted. "Is she alright?"
Jaken fell to his knees and bowed his head, dropping the wooden staff with a plunk. "My…My Lord… that's what I came here for… The baby is due and she is in great pain…"
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he turned his head in the direction of his castle. Why could he smell smoke?
Jaken continued on. "My Lord, General Arashi offered his services to protect Rin as we speak!"
Sesshomaru growled… that bastard Arashi. Sesshomaru despised him for Arashi's scent was that of pure desire when he was around Rin. He always knew that Arashi had yearned for Rin's presence and Sesshomaru hated it. He only kept Arashi alive because he was his best general, and one of the strongest demons obtainable.
Arashi was a dog demon as well but his features were strikingly different from the others'. He had jet black hair, as opposed to silver. It was so black; it was often mistaken for blue in certain lighting. Arashi wore his hair in a low ponytail, with side bangs that swept down to his nose. His eyes were golden, but that's as far is it went for similarities. Three thin lines of blue marked his cheeks. A pointy nose and handsome features were placed upon his face and a voice that was sharp.
Sesshomaru grabbed Jaken by the collar and let a deep growl rumble in his throat. "You let General Arashi take care of Rin?" his fangs appeared through his mouth causing Jaken to tremble.
Without a moment too soon, Sesshomaru had thrown Jaken onto the ground and ran off with immense speed towards his castle. Jaken rubbed his neck and fixed his clothes.
"Lord Sesshomaru doesn't seem so pleased about this… I wonder what has vexed him so…"
-Trap-
Rin's voice was weak as she lay there in great pain. She and Sesshomaru had been waiting for this child for nine long months and she wasn't about to give up hope. Rin was still human. Now twenty years of age, she was finally ready to bear Sesshomaru a child, only then would she become immortal.
Their marriage had taken place a year ago and it was so clear. Inuyasha and Kagome had been there with their own two kids. A beautiful son named Kiyoto who was three at the time, now four and Kagome was expecting another baby, a girl. At the sight of Kagome's happiness with her new family, Rin had longed for a family of her own. Sesshomaru did too, and she could tell.
Now the baby was coming at the worst time imaginable. Hoards of demons suddenly started to attack Sesshomaru's castle and despite wanting to be with her during labor, he had to do what he had to do – and that was protect her.
The moon sure was beautiful…
"General Arashi, thank you for companying me at this time. I know how awkward this must be for you."
"Do not thank me, my Lady. There is no place I would rather be right now."
Rin nodded at his silhouette. Naturally, they were separated by the thin paper material which made the door. She sighed at the thought of Sesshomaru, and then winced in pain.
Do not worry, my Lady. Soon, you're pain will all be over. If you cannot be with me, then I will kill you, and then kill myself. Only then will we be free to love each other without that nuisance of a demon, Sesshomaru.
"General Arashi, is that smoke I smell?"
Arashi smirked. Of course it was smoke; the building was slowly setting ablaze. He cleared his throat. "No, Lady Rin, it is just the incest burning outside of your door."
And then it happened, Rin screamed in pain as she was finally ready to push.
-Dilemma-
Sesshomaru could smell it, smoke, ashes, and blood. Rin's blood was also mixed in. Either she had been attacked, or she had already started to give birth. He scowled at himself for not being able to run faster. Those damn demons! Who on earth commissioned them to enter his territory in the first place?
He took one final leap over his castle walls, casting a shadow on the beautiful golden moon.
Sure enough, his army had been slaughtered and his castle in ruins. He shifted his view to the building in which Rin had been lying in for the past few hours.
Wait a second. This seemed all too familiar. Burning castle, wife giving birth on a beautiful, disastrous night, and one damned lustrous demon who was plotting against his death for the sake of love. Father.
Quickly, he jumped through the doors of the hut to see Rin there, hunching over her newborn baby with her eyes closed tightly shut, and sure enough, Arashi was standing over them, a sword that had already stabbed Rin in the back. The baby wailed, and Sesshomaru drew his sword.
