Laid content within her mother's tender embrace unperturbed by the noise, unaware of the words thrown towards her, her two golden eye stared at her mother and cooed gently.

In the forest a silent white ethereal figure watched the scene, more specifically at the mother and child with tender, soft eyes. His beautiful daughter and his wife, his beloved, the mother of his daughter. The enigmatic figure was the lord of western land Sesshomaru. He would have approached them and sliced all the villagers into unidentifiable goo had it not been for his beloved's warning on the eve of their daughter's birth, she had feared the reaction of the villagers towards him. His darling Rin was concerned for him while her life was in greater danger than his. He would take them home this night along with his little brother's family and slayer's family He would not leave them in the care of these humans any longer.

She knew that by tonight she would be on her way back to their home is the great palace in the western lands.
The villagers after yelling and seething at Rin till their throats turned sore, began to disperse each to their individual huts and no doubt to further curse her and her child. Rin heaved a great sigh and returned to her hut that she shared with her brother and sister in law Inuyasha and Kagome, the both of them had stood by her during this ordeal and in the process putting their family in danger. Both of them had pleaded with her to not go out and face the wrath of the villagers, and Inuyasha and Kagome had stood outside with her and signified their support for their new family member. Joined with them were Miroku, Sango and their children . Rin were eternally grateful to both of her families and adored them all dearly, her husband too appreciated their help and support and since the destruction Naraku and the return of Kagome the princes of the western land had reconciled and formed an endearing and strong family bond. Rin sat down and laid her daughter to bed, while Inuyasha spoke "I am sorry that you have to go through that Rin it was the same with our children and Kagome, thankfully like you she stood strong along with the support of Miroku and Sango". " It is alright Inuyasha nii-san. Thank you so much for your help, and support" said Rin . Kagome spoke gently " that is what family is for after all we would not want you or your little one to have been hurt, kami-sama knows what Sesshomaru onii-sama would have done if it had". Inuyasha scoffed "Keh probably would have melted the entire village" there was an agreeable round of giggles in the room. As evening began to settle Inuyasha went along with his adopted son Shippo to find meat, while walking through the village they received dark looks and scowls, the group persevered on into the forest when Inuyasha sensed Sesshomaru's aura. " Thank you little brother, I am indebted to you" " heh do not worry about it Sesshomaru like Kagome said that is what family is for ne?" " hmm Indeed" . "Ahh Sesshomaru- sama what brings your lord ship to our humble abode" asked a happy Miroku " Little brother and you as well Houshi gather your families I am taking all of us to our palace"
