The royal inuyoukai family known as the Takahashi Family that ruled over modern Japan. The current ruler the emperor of Japan Inutashio and his wife Empress Izayoi had been the longest ruling monarchy to rule over Japan. Inutaisho with immortality because he was a demon, had granted Izayoi his human wife with it as well, marking her as his. Inutaisho has a half demon son named Inuyasha, he was 15 years old and attended Shikon Royal Academy. Inutaisho also had a son by his previous wife named Sesshomaru who was 25 years old. Sesshomaru came off as a heartless cold man, but after adopting a human girl people saw that he was more than compassionate but then people began to question if he was worthy to inherit the throne from his father. He didn't care, as long as he had his Rin. Rin was his 4 year old some would say daughter because he protected her and treated her like one, but others believed she was just a ward. Rin calls him Sesshomaru-sama it became a habit after she constantly heard people calling him when she was two. He didn't approve of this and tried to break the habit but it didn't work as well, so he let it be.

~~~~Sesshomaru~~~~~

I was in my office working on another document as usual, it never seemed to bore me but only tire me out. Rin was probably off somewhere playing, I hope Jaken or someone was keeping an eye on her. I never trusted her alone I don't know who could be lurking in the palace trying to harm her. Rin was my adopted daughter. Eight years ago I found her at an orphanage it was part of the publicity to show the world I was not as cold as people believed I was. I really didn't care, it was my father's idea.

"Father I do not care what the world thinks of me." I said simply to avoid having to go into the orphanage and being surrounded by dirty some children. Father walked towards the door to the building.

"For once in your life Sesshomaru could you please show some kind of compassion?" Father replied. I turned my head and noticed a crowd was forming around. I held my head up and followed my father into the building. Within entering I was surprised to find no children had come to tackle my legs or ask me a million pointless questions, we met a lady at the front desk and she led us to a room full of children. The room grew silent as the children stared at us, it continued until a baby's cry broke out from another room behind us. I turned and went to the room with the crying, walking into the room I saw cribs lined in rows some had babies in them, others were empty waiting to be occupied. In the corner of the room where the crying was coming from I saw a small bassinet, inside was the smallest babe I had ever seen. A girl, she was crying her legs kicking with her fist balled up. I looked at her for awhile before picking her up, as soon as I touched her she stopped crying. The baby opened her eyes, she had big brown beautiful eyes. She smiled. It some way it touched me, but not to much. I laid her back down and as soon as I did she started to cry again. I placed the pacifier that was lying next to her in her mouth but she rejected it and continued to cry. I sighed. Lifting her back into my arms she stopped crying and began to make baby noises. My father walked in with the lady as she reached over and tried to grab the babe, something in my heart wanted me to hold her a little longer, but as the woman reached the baby began to wail again. Something was special about her…

"I'm sorry your highness she's usually not like this." The lady stated. I looked down at the baby, who had managed to get a strand of my hair into her mouth. Grabbing the strand I moved it back behind my ear, she pouted.

"What is her name?" I asked. The lady smiled.

"Rin, your highness." She said.

"Rin….." I thought.

Rin was my pride and joy, I loved that little girl more than anything although I never show it, except to her. She showed me what compassion was. Looking over at the clock I saw that it was almost 8 o'clock, meaning Rin was getting ready for bed. I'd come back to these documents later, first I must see my lovely Rin off to bed.

~~~~Rin~~~~~

I was getting ready for with the help of Amertha, she helped me get into my night gown. Struggling to get the night gown over my head, she finally managed to get it on as I slipped my arms through the arm holes. She pulled back the sheets on my bed while I climbed in, she tucked me in. I felt snug as a bug what Izayoi-sama would say. There was a knock on my door.

"COME IN!" I yelled, the door open and in walked Sesshomaru-sama. I smiled, I wanted to jump out my bed and hug him but I didn't want to mess up the sheets for Amertha had to retuck them in.

" I came to bid goodnight to you Rin." Sesshomaru-sama said. Bending down he gave me a hug, but I could not return it for my arms were tucked down by my body.

"Goodnight Sesshomaru-sama!" I said, snuggling into his shoulder. He nodded looking over in a chair he handed me my favorite bear and bunny but seeing that a was held down he placed one on each side of me. The bear he had given me when I turned two. He said I was always attached to that bear no matter where I went he went too. The bunny was the only thing I had that my parents had given me before they died, I never took that anywhere. It was too precious. " Sesshomaru-sama?" I called out. He turned and nodded for me to continue. "I love you."

Please tell me how I did, review this is my first chapter and I've been wanting so bad to write this story down because it had been something I've been thinking about. So please tell me what I should improve on, but also give me some ideas for the next chapter!
