I know that I have a few other stories that I am currently working on but this idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone.
I don't own any part of Inuyasha. That's probably a good thing, there would be a lot more Sesshomaru if I did.

An elderly woman knelt at the stream cleaning her hands and face. When she was finished she sat there long enough for the water to become just calm enough to see the distorted reflection of her face.
She brought one hand up to touch a cheek and feel under her eye. She knew that she was getting older but it was something else to see it. She sighed. She didn't feel like and old person, she still thought like a young person and not like those old people in the villages, but at the same time she could no longer do most of the things that she had done in her youth.
She smiled slightly, thinking of her past. She had lived a more full and dangerous life than most people would ever even dream of. She gained skills that very few humans had. Even now, every day was an adventure for her. It was true that she had never found a husband but she didn't think that she needed something like that. She had found a man that she spend her entire life with, a man that she simple could never live without. He loved her too, even though they would never have a family together.
There were still things that she needed to do before the sun set. She stood slowly, her body protesting every movement. It was stiff and making it move was painful. The end was approaching and she could feel it.
She felt the silent footsteps approach her, rather than hearing them. "What is wrong Rin?" came Sesshomaru's soothing voice. Without facing him, she smiled and said, "Will you still remember me, even after I die?" She could hear him sigh. "I told her before not to ask those silly questions." She could not remember ever asking that before but, still, it was nice to here him say that.

I imagine that Rin is going to grow up to be an awesome fighter, defending Sesshomaru's camp and just traveling with him in general. They could make a really decent anime about that.
