A/N: Hey everyone! I'm an ardent RinSessh fan! They are adorable. I really don't read any other stories in the Inuyasha fanfiction world. I had many interesting ideas buzzing in my mind for stories for Rin and Sesshomaru, but I wanted my first one to be a normal, unsophisticated story. I know there are probably hundreds of stories in this theme. . . But I wrote one for my satisfaction... Rin and Sesshomaru from my thoughts... No matter how many stories I read, this would be my perspective
I would like to dedicate this story to my two friends: Jenni (icegirljenni) and DivineRosa...
Also I'd like to give credit to my friends who encouraged me to start writing... It is the best thing that happened in my life... I've written 5 stories so far (neither RS FF nor posted in this website)...This is my first RS FF!
True love is felonious… You take someone's breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart. ― Jodi Picoult
(Sesshomaru's thoughts in italics )
Rin. . .
How her doe eyes were brimming with tears when he left her in the village. . .
He never thought that he would feel this lonely.
He couldn't return to the Sesshomaru before Rin. . . never would . . .
His father had been his idol. Inutaisho, always stern, cold and majestic, was a great warrior and ruler. Sesshomaru was following his changed, Inutaisho left his mother for a human woman which left a deep scar in young Sesshomaru's heart.
His immense admiration to his father crumbled to dust and it was replaced by hate, pure detested that human and the grew up in a perseverance to prove himself better than his father.
He abhorred women. . . Many demoness lusted on him, tried to seduce him; but all he felt was disgust, slicing most of them without mercy. . .
Years and years he wandered seeking the ultimate power, killing pesky demons which troubled him on his way.
Then one day, he met Rin. . . and she captured his heart with her innocence and path in life changed without his notice.
He would never forgive his father but his rage started to dwindle by Rin's presence. Deep in his heart, he knew that his father did care for him and he still looked up to him.
Everyone thought Rin was under the protection of him, but truthfully, it was he who was becoming sane under Rin's influence. Rin calmed him. Rin taught him compassion, fear.
He was awed how Rin cherished each day, how she embraced the beauty of nature, how her face lit up every time she saw him. . . This Sesshomaru . . . She let out an ambiance which melted his heart and made him question about what he had been running after all those years.
Sigh…But he was too late . . . It took time for him to understand and acknowledge what Rin meant to him. She was special . . .
He craved for her presence, but he wanted her to have a normal human life. He knew the repercussions letting a young girl accompany him. He wouldn't care about others talking behind his back but he wouldn't allow the dignity and self-respect of his Rin to get tainted. Death would be the answer to anybody who dared to ill-mouth Rin but once the words are spilled they can never be taken back and he didn't want to hurt his Rin. Thus, he buried his interest of taking her as his ward a year after Naraku's demise and returned to his castle rule his lands.
Years passed by, Rin blossomed into a beautiful woman, tall and elegant. She was extremely wise and mature beyond her age. She was an epitome of perfection.
Sesshomaru never understood these new feelings that were evoked in him. He tried to find one excuse or the other to return to the village just to catch a glimpse of her. He etched her gorgeous smile to his memory.
Today was Rin's 18th birthday. Sesshomaru had already packed a gift, a beautiful mirror adorned with diamonds and gems, and flew into the sky.
He landed in the forest cover bordering the village and a sight made him frozen at his spot.
There was his Rin, surrounded by Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, their children, Kohaku, Shippo, a few villagers; all cheering her, wishing her.
She seemed so happy . . . so happy that it made him feel uncomfortable.
"I want to be Sesshomaru-sama forever" a voice echoed in his ears.
Will she still say the same?
He remembered the young Rin chanting his name, yearning for his return. Does she still do that?
True, she had been extremely elated whenever he met her in the village, but that excitement, will that last forever?
Will she still call only his name when in danger?
"Sesshomaru-sama, after I die, will you still remember me?" a sweet voice tingled in his ears. Will she remember him always?
She is already a woman. Will she marry someone in the village? Bear children? Grow old and die like other human beings?
His breath hitched. He couldn't possibly think of her having a mate other than. . .
other than . . .
Himself . .
He wanted to be with his Rin, forever. . .
He loved her. He was in love with her. . .
She was the only woman he desires as a mate. . .
Yes. . . His Rin . . . His mate. . . She would belong to him. . . That way he could shower her with love, all the love that he felt for her. . . only her . . .
She would share his life-span . . . he wouldn't have to worry about a world without her. . .
But will she accept to become his bride?
Has the village become too dear to her? Will she return with him to the castle?
His chest tightened at the thought of a rejection.
.
A melodious voice broke his daze.
Rin:"Sesshomaru-sama . . ." Rin was panting heavily. Her hair dishevelled, the rim of her kimino was soiled.
Rin:"Sorry about my appearance, but Inuyasha-sama told that you had arrived a while ago and I couldn't wait to see you." Rin's cheeks glowed red after she uttered those words.
Sesshomaru just stared at her in fascination. . .
Sorry about what? She appeared to be exquisite to his eyes. . . Like an angel. . . She was wearing the kimino he has recently gifted her.
Sesshomaru: "Beautiful . . . "
Now Rin face grew even rosier than before. She was stunned by his words, mesmerized by his golden gaze.
Rin:"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin had never witnessed such intense emotions in her Lord's eyes. She couldn't withstand such passion.
Sesshomaru didn't even remember that it was Rin's birthday anymore. . .
He held out his gift, and . . .
Sesshomaru:"Rin. . ."
Her eyes widened, twinkling at the how her name suddenly sounded different in his voice, her heart was thundering against her ribs.
Sesshomaru: "Will you be the bride of this Sesshomaru?" his mouth moved in its own accord, enchanted by her, before he even realized what he had said.
The whole world became still.
Sesshomaru never planned on such a proposal but it was the first time he felt anxiety, nervousness. . . . anticipation. . .
Rin blinked many times . . .
She received the gift in one of her arms, stepped forward, touched his cheek with her finger tips, her eyes never leaving his.
Tears ran down her cheeks.
Rin: "Hai. . ." her mouth whispered in a trembling tone.
A sound so low, but ofcourse he could sense it. His arms snaked around her hips in relief. His mokomoko enveloping her form.
A slight gasp escaped from Rin's lips.
Shyness crept into her, her eyes now focused on his shoulders, not having the strength to look at his handsome face.
Rin: "Rin wants to be with Sesshomaru-sama forever", her voice caressed his lonely soul.
Sesshomaru felt lighter in all his years of existence. . .
This Sesshomaru wants to be with Rin forever too
Just two words to describe the feeling that warmed his heart:
Absolute bliss. . .
Forgive me if it had too many cliches...Should I write a Rin POV too?
