Rin's heart and Sesshomaru's thoughts

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. " Yes, Rin." Answered Sesshomaru. "When will we get to where we are going?" Sesshomaru sighed " To the Castle of the West, my castle." Rin giggled as she looked to see that the flowers wher starting to bloom and thought Yay! in three more days I will be eighteen!Sesshomaru looked back to see why Rn had stopped and seen she was in deep thought, then her face turned beet red to see her lord looking back at her. "Rin." said Sesshomaru. "Yes Lord Sesshomaru."

"Why did you stop?" Rin blushed a deep red. "Well... I was thinking." Rin replied. "About what?"said Sesshomaru. "My birthday...." she admitted. " Why?" asked Sesshomaru.She's been doing this all day and at this rate we won't get to the Westernn border in a week! It should only take us three days from now.he thought. "It's in three days.... and I was admiring the flowers that where starting to bloom." Rin said sheepishly. "Come Rin we need to set up camp Jaken will be here soon." he stated.

Wow. Time sure does fly by...And quick at that! I better get this back to camp, and get some food.thought Rin as she was gathering the she finaly got the firewood to camp she said "Lord Sesshomaru, I will be right back, I was going to go to the river near here to catch some fish." Sesshomaru nodded in acknowlegement she left.

Why is it that this girl stays so happy all the time?Sesshomaru thought to himself. He inhaled and exhaled slowly and caught her scent, She always smells like a floral scent, I wonder why it smells so good? he angrily shook that thought from his head and looked up to the stars only to start thinking again I wonder how old she is... lets see about tenyears since I found her, she was eight then....wait a minuet she's going to be eighteen...ten years, wow it has been a while. Where is she anyway.. "AAAAGGGGGHHHHH! HELP ME! LORD SESSHOMA...." screamed Rin, but then her cry of help was cut off.

"Rin." was all he said as he took off in a flash at high speed untill he got was lying unconcious on the ground, he could smell her blood , he said " You touched my ward, and now you shall pay." his eyes turned red as he drew Tokijiin and cut the demon to a shred in one slice, then sheathed his sword.

He picked her up and carried her back to camp, but on the way he inspected her for her injury and he seen that it wasn't very soon as he got to camp and set her down she awoke "Lord Sesshomaru..." she said and flinced as he picked up her injured arm, a tear ran down her cheek, "Does that hurn Rin?" he asked, she nodded, he started to lick the wound because Inu Demon saliva has a healing power. Rin looked up and smiled, and said "Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru.....er ,uh.." she started to blush.

"What Rin." said Sesshomaru with a mental smirk, he never was one to show any very rarely, emotions at all. She looked down " I might have to go back to the river, Lord Sesshomaru." Then reality hit her and she smelled cooking food, she smiled shyly, realizing he had grabbed the food she gathered. "I don't think you will Rin." he said. "LORD SESSHOMARU!" dang he's back already, I will have to get him to scout again tommorow. Thought Sesshomaru as Rin was eating, "Master Jaken, your back." she said just as cheerful as ever.

"Yes and the area ahead is clear." said Jaken proudly. "Jaken." said Sesshomaru with a voice full of authority. "Y-yes m'lord?" he answered. "Tommorow go see if there are any domons partolling the border and scout out the land ahead." said Sesshomaru.

"Yes m'lord." said Jaken before taking a fish and eating, Sesshomaru looked to the now cloudy sky for a short time, it started to rain. he looked to Rin who was now fast asleep by the tree on the other side of the fire, then he looked to Jaken and Ah-Un who where now asleep under the tree next to himself.

Rin was shivering, he got up and walked over to her and picked her up, and moved her to the inside of the cave by the fire. Where she now lay on his fur, he watched her sleep, the sun was going to rise soon so he picked Rin up and put her back against the tree and sat where he did before. He waited untill the sun was rising and said "Jaken." Jaken woke up and said "I shall leave now m'lord." and with that said Jaken left, "Rin." he said softly.

"She woke up and smiled a tenative smile and said " May I catch some breakfast, My Lord?" she asked, "Yes, Rin." he replied and she left. He sat down, and thought to himself what is it about her that makes her so tolerable? She doesn't lie, she serves me no matter what, she is loyal and she smiles no matter she comes. "Are you ready Rin?" he asked. She nodded and sighed she didn't seem very happy.

"Rin whats wrong?" he asked. She didn't reply, "Rin?...... answer me."he said sternly, she fainted, he picked her up and she started to sweat and then she was screaming " RUN! RINOKU RUN! GET AWAY FROM THE BANDIT! MOM, DAD, RINAKU! AGGGGHHHHH!"she screamed gasping for air as tears ran down her cheek. It went on for a few hours and the screaming died down, at about noon, she woke up in his arms and blushed as red as Inuyasha's Robe of The Fire Rat, he seemed to be deep in thought untill she moved, "Uh..Lord Sesshomaru" she said.

He put her down, then sat on a nearby rock and asked "Rin, why are you sad?" she looked up into his amber eyes, they yhad a hint of curiosity in them "Today is...." she started to sob. "What?" he asked, she sniffled "My mom and dad and brother died on this day ten years ago." she started to cry again. " here." said Sesshomaru.

She obediently walked over to him and said "I am...." he cut her off "Don't be sorry for something you didn't 't cry, it will make people think your weak." she blushed lightly, and he put his hand on her shoulder, she stopped crying and sat on her knees and sighed, leaning her head against the rock and closing her eyes, she smiled. "Rin." he said but figured out she was asleep.

He picked her up and left to go to where they where going to set up camp.Hmm, she must be real tired.he sighed. Mabey she would be happy if she was in a village with her kind again.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Please don't leave Rin here!" when she was little she always talked in third person. "Rin." he said, and she latched on to his leg "Rin does not want to stay here!" She cried as he unlatched her arms from his leg and left.

That didn't turn out so well, but she has matured alot so I will breif her on this when she wakes up.She started to stirr.But I don't want to let her go, she is my Rin, I like the sound of that My Rin he thought, then smiled a small smile.

************

"Hmm."she sighed as Sesshomaru sat her down and started a fire. The next thing she smelt was cooking fish, she slowly opened her eyes as a clawed finger moved the hair from her eyes."Did I wake you?" asked Sesshomaru.

She looked at him for another moment "No you didn't my lord." she answered. She leaned up out of his one armed hold and was a little light headed and woosy, so she leaned her head back on the tree. "Hm. You might need some food." he said as she was about to grab some fish. she nodded and grabed some trout. "Rin." he asked."Yes my lord?"she answered with a smile.

"Do you wish to live amongst the humans again?" he asked. her smile faded and was replaced with a frown and a worried look "No. Why do you ask my lord?" she asked sadly He doesn't want me in his company? "You seemed to be sad and I thought you might miss living with your own kind." he answered.

"No my lord I was only sad about my other family's death." she smiled.

"Do not address me as 'Lord Sesshomaru' or 'My Lord' any more. Just address me as Sesshomaru." he said. She smiled and a faint blush came to her face."Yes, Sesshomaru." she said, He seems to enjoy that I have already ceased to us his title. "Come here,Rin." and motioned with his arm for her to sit by him. She got up to go sit by him, when she sat down she seen him smile, the only time you see Sesshomaru smile was when he was enjoying killing something.

"Why ..Uh never mind forget I said that." she said but he could see the curiosity in her eyes and smirked a little bit "I enjoy you eing around me." Whoa since when does he open up and say something like that! There must be something wrong. She quickly changed the subject " I am sorry about long was I out?"she asked.

" You fainted twice, and you where asleep almost the entire day. It wasn't your fault, you can't help but miss them." he said, he smelled the salt in the air, she was crying."Its as long as you wish." he said. She looked up at him barley smiled and nodded, she started to cry again, she found that she buried her face into his shoulder, he put his arms around her, holding her if you may, untill she finaly stopped crying and fell asleep on his shoulder.

"LORD SESS...huh." Jaken said "Quiet Jaken, I just got her to go to sleep." said Sesshomaru with the usuall expression on his face. Jaken nodded his head,and Rin opened her eyes a little only to see Sesshomaru hit Jaken on the head and let out a small giggle, then closed her eyes again.

"Rin, wake up." Said Sesshomaru."Hmmm." she sighed and smiled as she got up and brushed herself off. "Can I go to the river, Sesshomaru." she asked. He nodded his head and off she went not even noticing Sesshomaru was following was about to get in the water when Sesshomaru sat down by a tree on the side of a boulder.

She started to hum a tune that he could have swore he heard her singing before "Rin." he said, this startled her because she didn't know he was there, she blushed. "Yes, Sesshomaru?" she answered.

"What are you humming?" he asked trying to remember what she was singing that day."A song I made up." she said blushing a even deeper red."Will you sing it?" he asked? "Yes." she answered.

" A soul that shine's

like the stars

No matter where you are

If you have somebody to

protect you every day

You'll smile as bright

as the sun will ever shine

If you listen to the wind

you can hear the love thats in

My heart

For the one

That pro-tects me so much

I can't tell if he loves

me as much as I love him."

"It's very nice Rin." he said smiling a bit."Thank you." she said. "Who is is for?" he asked, as he smiled because already knew who it was for."It... Was for...you." she said as she tied her kimono and walked over to the boulder Sesshomaru was behind.
