Second chance at a love believed to be lost.
Sesshoumaru walked through the forest with confusion in his mind. He had forgotten the time that he had met the thunder demon. He didn't know why he was thinking about Hiten now. The last time Sesshoumaru had seen the other man was around forty years ago. 'Why am I thinking of him? I have not seen Hiten in years. Knowing him, he probably is with a whore right now. I heard a rumor that his younger brother was dead.'
"Sesshoumaru sama, where are we going?" Rin asked Sesshoumaru as they were walking.
"We are going to see an old friend of mine Rin." Sesshoumaru answered. Considering he was taking Rin with him.
"Oh, will there be anyone my age to play with?" Rin asked. She had not been around children her age for awhile.
"Yes, you will most likely be able to play with Souten."
Rin's eyes beamed at hearing this. She was getting tired of only having Jaken to play with. He was annoying and never let her do anything. Sesshoumaru knew there would be at least a few good points about going to se Hiten. Rin would play with Hiten's little sister. No doubt Souten would enjoy the company as well. Seeing as Hiten was never at the palace for long.
'I just hope that Manten's death hasn't made Hiten fall into depression.'
Three hours later.
Souten was playing with a ball when see saw Sesshoumaru coming to the castle gates. Her eyes widened in fear of the demon lord wanting to attack the palace. She relaxed when she saw Rin. it was the first time since Shippo left that she had been around anyone her own age.
