I do not own Inuyasha. There are four characters in this story that I do own and if you wish to use them, please PM me and ask.
Chapter One- I Wish…
Rin sighed softly as she lay upon the soft green grass. A light breeze tickled her dark hair which had grown considerably in the last six years. She was sixteen now and found herself possessed by the notion of romance, particularly toward Lord Sesshomaru.
She wasn't sure the regal demon felt anything romantic for her. He was protective, yes, but hardly romantic. Would he even love a human? She had heard that he despised humans, but if that was true, then why did he allow her to stay with him?
Her gaze fell on the sky. The stars twinkled brilliantly above her. The night sky had always been her favorite part of nature, basically because of the comfort it gave her.
A star streaked across the sky at that moment. A shooting star! Sitting up quickly, she clasped her hands, squeezed her eyes shut, and with all her heart, made the same wish she always made when she saw a shooting star. I wish to be with Lord Sesshomaru forever and ever.
Unclasping her hands, she lay back down and drifted off to sleep with her last thought being on the silver-haired demon lord.
Said demon lord stood nearby, watching over the sleeping girl. Naraku had been killed five years ago. This accomplishment had been the combined efforts of himself, Koga the wolf demon, Inuyasha's friends, and Inuyasha himself. Indeed, it was his brother who had dealt the final blow.
With Naraku dead, Sesshomaru's revenge was sated. It also brought up the question of what to do with Rin. Jaken had proposed they leave her in a human village, but Rin pleaded with them to let her stay. Sesshomaru acceded to her pleas, much to Jaken's surprise. Indeed, it surprised him, too. He usually didn't care about humans one way or the other. That perception began to change the day he met Rin.
She had been an orphan girl who had been curious about him when she saw him, unconscious. He had been wounded by the Tetsusaiga and his first reaction had been to defend himself, and thus he growled. She flinched and he calmed down when he saw it was just a human.
She got over her fear and took it upon herself to nurse him back to health. Her concern was touching, but unnecessary. It was her concern for him that prompted him to revive her when wolves attacked her. Apparently, her gratitude led her to follow him ever since.
Sesshomaru often wondered why he allowed Rin to tag along and the only conclusion he could come up with was that he was protective of her. It certainly wasn't love-he was a demon and she was a human. Even though his father loved a human and had Inuyasha as a result, loving a human like that disgusted him.
The way I protect Rin is almost as if she was my daughter. This thought prompted him to lay beside her and draw her close to his chest.
Something soft and fluffy against her cheek woke Rin the next morning as well as the sunlight. She opened her eyes to see that she was next to Lord Sesshomaru. It was his boa that had brushed against her. She felt her heart pounding at the close proximity. She always dreamed of the two of them sleeping together like this.
Sesshomaru's eyes fluttered open and focused on her. Instead of greeting her in his usual stoic way, he leaped to his feet, drew Tokijin, pointed it at her, and demanded, "Who are you? What have you done with Rin?"
His actions confused her. She tilted her head. "Lord Sesshomaru? What are you doing? It's me, Rin."
"Rin?" Lowering the sword, he knelt down, and started sniffing. "Hmm. It is you."
"Of course. Why are you looking at me like that?" Sesshomaru was staring at her like he had never seen her before.
"Rin, somehow you have become a demon like myself."
"A-a demon?" Rin stood up and went to the edge of a nearby river. She knelt down and gazed into the water.
The face of a female dog demon gazed back at her. Her eyes were vivid silver now, a navy blue crescent blue graced her forehead, two purple streaks ran on both cheeks, and pointed ears kept her long silky black hair back.
She sat back on her heels and examined her hands. They had long sharp claws for fingernails and two purple marks on each wrist. "Wow," was the only thing she could think of to say.
Sesshomaru gazed at the demon beauty Rin had become. He didn't know how this happened, but he wasn't complaining. However, he knew Rin would want to be human again, so he wanted to savor the moment.
"Rin," he said the girl lightly ran her claws across her cheek marks. "perhaps we should find a way to change you back."
Her head snapped around to look at him. "Change me back?" she echoed. "But Lord Sesshomaru, I thought you liked me like this."
"I do Rin, but it's not you."
"It can be. I remember I saw a shooting star last night. I wished with all my heart that I could be with you forever. I think my wish came true."
"You mean your wish turned you into a demon. But, why?"
"Because…because I…I love you, milord."
Sesshomaru's facial expression didn't change, but inside he was surprised. Rin loved him, wished to always be with him, and she became a dog demon as a result. This could certainly change his relationship with her. Last night, he had thought of her as a daughter. Now, she could be a lovely mate.
A small smile slowly crept onto his lips. "If you wish to stay this way, I won't force you to change back."
"Oh, thank you!" Rin was so thrilled that she gave the demon lord a big hug
"Lord Sesshomaru!" came Jaken's panicked voice. "Lord Sesshomaru, Rin is missing," the imp reported once he reached the pair.
"She's not missing," Sesshomaru answered. "She's right here." He nodded at the female demon still hugging him. "Rin, that's enough, please."
"Yes, milord." Rin stepped back.
Jaken looked back and forth between the two. He stepped closer to the female and sniffed. He didn't possess Sesshomaru's sense of smell, but even he could detect Rin's unique flower scent. "It is you, Rin!" he gasped. "But, how is this possible?"
"I made a wish last night to be with Lord Sesshomaru forever. I put my heart into that wish," Rin explained.
"Hmm. Who would have thought that something as human as wishing could do magic?" Jaken remarked.
Sesshomaru chose not to acknowledge Jaken's remark and instead said, "Let us be on our way."
"Where are we going, milord?" Rin asked.
"To the Western Lands," he answered. "My domain."
Rin's eyes widened. Sesshomaru was taking her to his home! But, why hadn't he done so after Naraku died? Had he been ashamed of having a human with him? Or would he not be allowed back home with a human? No matter how Rin looked at it, her being human was why the silver-haired demon hadn't been able to go home.
Sesshomaru and Jaken were lifted into the air on a silver cloud while Rin boarded Ah-Un, sitting sidesaddle. As they flew, Rin smiled. She felt strangely powerful and confident. Did she feel this way because she was a demon now? Perhaps she should ask Sesshomaru at some point.
I know that Sesshomaru got his most of his facial features from his mother, but I did not know that when I wrote this story, so please just accept the look that I designed for Rin.
