"My lord! Look! Look!" Rin excitedly jumped up and down grasping onto elaborate wildflowers.

Sesshomaru stared at the girl he had saved years ago. She had never changed from the little girl he knew. Rin was sixteen now, yet she still acted as though she were a six year old, cheery and naïve. It amused him sometimes despite his relative emotionless disposition. He wouldn't want her any other way. Rin had weaved them in a hurry and put them around herself in a necklace.

"Aren't they pretty Master Sesshomaru?" She glowed spinning around. Some white and blue petals floated around her as she twirled in the summer air.

Sesshomaru wasn't particularly inclined to comment but whenever he looked into those eyes he faltered. They look very pretty on you Rin… is what he was about to say when he caught himself and merely answered "Hm. Come Rin we must be going."

He had noticed through the years how Rin had grown from being so small a child to a young woman. He had commented on it and Rin laughed running ahead claiming one day she would be as tall as him. She had outgrown her orange checkered kimono and wore a deep blue kimono with white flowers now. The end of his mouth raised a fraction of an inch. It was gone in a split second but Rin had realized it from being his companion for so long.

"Did something good happen my lord?" she asked.

Sesshomaru looked down at her "Nothing in particular." He called Ah-Un and the two looked into the clear blue sky together as they waited.
