Love's Dark Past

The night was chilled with the last days of winter. I looked around and the small space that that milord had picked for us to stay at for the night. It had been eights years since I start traveling with Lord Sesshomaru. I glanced over were he sat with his back to a tree, and looked away quickly.

My eyes wonder over to were she sat. Rin had grown up in the years she had been with him. She was now a woman and had had become very beautiful. With her long dark hair, and her warm chocolate eyes. Her body had filled out in all the right places as well. He watched a she laid on the ground and fell asleep.

Rin walked into the little human village they had come across. She noticed when she walk passed people in the village, that they would stare at her. She keep walking and till she found a man who was selling kimonos. She saw the beautiful blue and gold kimono and loved it.

She took it down and held it to her body. The merchant smiled at her as she held it up to her body. "Miss " he said. Rin looked up at him. "Yes" she replied. " That would look very lovely on you," he said. Rin smiled and paid for it.

Rin turned away to look at the rest of the village when a young man came up to her and bowed. Stunned Rin did as well. The young man looked up and said "My name is Lord Shioriorn miss," the lord said. Rin gave a smile. " Hello and my name is Rin." she said smoothly. " Miss Rin I have never met one with beauty like yours" he said to her. A little shocked ." Thank you for such words and do not know how to answer," she said with a small smile. "To see the smile on thy face is good enough," the lord said with kind eyes.

Rin smiled at the young lord and nodded. Then she looked at the sky. It was getting late and she knew her lord would be looking for her. She turned to him and said ,"It grows late and I must go thank you once again for your kindness," she bowed and walked away.

The young Lord watched the young woman leave. He was awed by her. He had never seen another like her before. The lord knew what he wanted now. The beautiful young Rin to be his wife and would take her for his.

Sesshomaru watched as the sky began to darken. Rin had not yet came back from the human village she went to look at. Sesshomaru wonder why this bothered him so much. "What could she be doing?" he wonder. He was just about to go and find her, when he caught her scent. She didn't smell the same because of all the human scents on her form the village.

He scrunched he nose at the smell. He watched and she sat something down. He noted the she look deep in thought about something. "Rin," he said. He watched as the she looked at him with warm eyes. "Go get cleaned up" he said. The woman looked and him smiled and nodded.

Rin smiled, nodded and stood up. The air was warm tonight. She gathered her things and walked through the trees to the hot spring. Rin laid her things by the edge of the hot spring. After that she took off her kimono and laid it on the ground.

The water was so warm, she started to relax when she stepped in. She was thinking of the young man from the village. He was very nice to her. The more she thought of him the more she started to blush. She hadn't meet many humans that were kind to her. She wonder again who he was.

Sesshomaru went to check on Rin. She was still getting cleaned up. He stopped where he was. As he watched her, he could feel the heat in his cheeks. He was blushing, BLUSHING, he had never blushed before in his life. His mind went back to Rin. He could feel the need for her in his body. But wait Rin was human he couldn't think such things about her. He went on watching her and fighting his feelings for her.

Rin laid back against a rock that was in the hot spring. Rin wonder how she could meet the young man from the village again. He was so nice to her. Rin was used to demons but she has never meet many humans that she liked. Oh well I can't wait till tomorrow any way. Then I can go to the field that's near here and get some herbs to take with us.

Rin stood up and got out of the hot spring. Feeling much better now she got dressed and walk back the spot were they were camped.

I watched as she got out the hot spring. I closed my eyes against my body's will to give her some privacy as she dressed. Once she was done she headed back to the spot were we were staying.

Rin watched as her lord came and went to sit under a tree. She looked back to the fire. She pulled her long dark hair over her shoulder and began to work her fingers through it. Once I was done with that. I decided to go to sleep so I could get up early and go to the field.

I watched as Rin laid down and quickly drift off to sleep. He felt the change in the wind as it chilled down a bit. He saw Rin shiver in her sleep. He stood and walked over to her. He crouched down to look at her . Rin was no longer the little girl that he had saved form death, the little girl that followed him around singing silly songs, and picking flowers. She was a grown women. She had become a sight to see. He knew human males looked and longed for her. But she was his…..she belonged to him.

I bent over her and nuzzled her cheek. Pulling back from that I laid down by her a pulled close to me. I felt her shift into my chest. I buried my nose in her hair to take in her sweet scent. She always smelled of flowers and honey. He suddenly felt bad that he would haft to leaver her for a few hours to tend to some things.

Rin felt a warmth that she snuggled into. She let her dreams take her away. She felt a bright light sting her eyes. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and looked around. Jaken was fixing some fish for her to eat. I looked up to see Sesshomaru standing not to far away. I stood up and walked over to him. "Good morning Lord Sesshomaru." I said. He glanced my way out of the corner of his eye and nodded to me. I smiled and went to eat the food Jaken had made for me.

Once I had finished Lord Sesshomaru walked over to where I was sitting. "Rin I must go and leave you for a bit. Will you be fine on your own." I smiled up at him and said " Of course my lord, I will be fine and wait here for you." Her Lord nodded and walked away with Master Jaken following him.

Rin walked in to the human village and smiled. It was always full of life. She walked around looking at things she didn't get to the last time. She met some of the people who lived there and they were very kind. A lady smiled at her as she helped her with her things. Rin nodded as the lady thank her. Rin wonder over to a field of flowers nearby. She sat down and started to sing as she pick flowers.

(song)

The sun goes down and the moon floats up.

The stars shin brightly as they look down on us.

The is the time to find the people who are the closest to you.

Oh my love where did you go.

My love come and take me to the stars.

My love come before the sun comes up.

And the flowers blow away.

Lord Shioriorn watched as the girl came into the village. She was not only beautiful but kind he thought as she helped a women with her bags. He watched as she went over to the field of flowers that was by the village. She sat down and looked up at the sky. As I looked at her I knew that she would make a great wife and could rule beside him. Then the next thing he herd made his heart melt with love. She started to sing.

(song)

The sun goes down and the moon floats up.

The stars shin brightly as they look down on us.

The is the time to find the people who are the closest to you.

Oh my love where did you go.

My love come and take me to the stars.

My love come before the sun comes up.

And the flowers blow away.

When she finished he wished it wasn't over. She not only look of an angel but she had a voice of one as well. He had to go to her and ask her to marry him. He step into the field. "Rin may I speak with you." he said to the girl.

I was looking at the flowers that I had pick when I herd. "Rin may I speak with you." I turned around to find Lord Shioriorn walking my way. He had a smile on his face like he was happy about something. I smiled and looked up at him as he stood in front of me. "Yes Lord Shioriorn what is it that you would like to ask me." I said to the lord.

"Rin I have wanted to ask you this since the first time I laid eyes on you." he said. I had stood and was facing him while he was getting ready to ask me something. " Rin would you do me the greatest honor and become my wife" he asked. I looked up at him shocked at what he had just ask me. " Lord Shioriorn I don't know what to say" I said to him. "Oh Rin say yes, Your are so wonderful and I fell in love with you from the moment I first laid eyes on you." he said with pleading eyes. " Lord Shioriorn please allow me a day or two to think about your offer . This is all going so fast." I said to him. "Yes I understand I will give you two days" he said walking away with a smile on his face.

I walked back to the camp and got a fire started. I sat down in front of the fire and thought over the lords offer. It would be nice if I married him. I would have everything I wanted but I don't think that's what I truly want. I laid down and went to sleep still thinking about everything that had happened.

I walked back into the spot where I had left Rin. I look over and saw her asleep by the fire. The look on her face was confused and wondering. He had wonder what had happened while he was gone.

The closer he go to Rin the more he could smell another scent on her. A male scent adorned hers. Sesshomaru growled at this. What had happened to her while he was gone.

I walked over to her and laid down. I wrapped my arms around her and buried my nose in her hair. I could feel her snuggle against my chest. This made a smirk tug up on my lips. I could smell my scent start to rub off on her. But the scent she had on her made me wonder what she had done while I was gone. He would find out just what she had been up to. But I also had a feeling that I wasn't going to like it. As I buried my nose deeper I fell asleep while keeping an eye on who was around where we stopped at.

I sat upright when the morning sun hit my eyes. I head was still on everything that had happen the day before. As I looked around I saw master Jaken cooking some fish. I smiled at and said "Good morning."
