There is no remedy for love, but to love more. -Henry David Thoreau

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every December snow would fall from the sky. Winter was cold, colder than usual, but Rin didn't seem to care because she loved how beautiful everything was and how invisible. It has been 10 years since that day when Sesshomaru resurrected Rin from the wolves. She had grown very fond of Sesshomaru, she cared about him a lot.

Sesshomaru was laying back on a tall tree while his right leg was bended a little. He was looking up into the white sky. Rin was sitting with her hands holding her legs. And Jaken was sleeping.

Rin was a young woman now she was 17 years old. She didn't look like a little girl anymore. Her raven hair was at her waist and no longer tied to the side of her head, but lose. She was grown all in the right spots with her small waist. She was called extraordinary beauty to people.

'Wow.. The sky is so white just like Lord Sesshomaru.' Rin thought and looked at him then smiled. Sesshomaru noticed that Rin was looking at him and looked at her. Rin looked away quickly at the ground.

"Rin?" He said with his usual cold voice.

"Yes, Milord?" Rin looked back at him.

"Why were you staring at me?"

"O-Oh! Umm it was nothing Milord." Rin said trying to hide her blush.

Sesshomaru looked away and stood up. "Let's go."

Jaken quickly woke up and picked up his staff. "Come on Rin stop day dreaming!"

"Oh I am sorry. Coming!" She stood up and ran to catch up to her Lord.

"Where are we going milord?"

"Home."

"Really? It has been a long time since we've been home." Rin said putting her hands back and smiled at Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru looked Rin and he had become aware of how much she has grown into a young woman. He had no feelings for her.. At least he thought. He was a youkai lord and she was just a worthless human, but no she wasn't just a mundane human, she was Rin. He looked back into the forest.

'Lord Sesshomaru is always looking at me like that. Every time he does that I think that I did something wrong.. Did I?' Rin sighed.

"Rin what's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh nothing is wrong Lord Sesshomaru, I was just thinking."

It was getting kind of dark and colder. Rin shivered and blew her hands. Sesshomaru knew that she was cold and decided to stay somewhere to rest. Jaken was also shivering and hiding behind Ah-Un to keep warm.

'How weak.'

He stopped at a mountain and unleashed Tokijin. "Stand back." Rin, Jaken and Ah-Un tookfive steps back from Sesshomaru. He swung his sword to create a cave. Rocks fell to the ground and stopped.

"We will stay here for now." He said while putting back his sword in the sheath.

"T-T-Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken said shivering, but Sesshomaru didn't say anything.

Rin rubbed her left arm and put her arms around her legs. 'Its so cold this time of year.'

'Why do I worry for this mortal? She is nothing to me, but why do I care if she is cold? Rin is noth-' He was interrupted from his thoughts by a sneeze from Rin.

"Rin."

"Yes, Milord?"

"Come here."

Rin stood up and walked to Lord Sesshomaru then sat next to him. She was nervous and he could sense it.

"Jaken."

"O-Oh Yes milord!" Jaken jumped up

"Get some more wood for the fire… take Ah-Un as well."

"Yes milord!" Jaken said and took Ah-Un.

Rin was confused because they still had a lot of wood for later. Rin panicked on the inside. She thought that she did something wrong, but Sesshomaru didn't say a word. Rin thought back what she did that might had caused him to be angry.

"My lord? Did I do something wrong?" Rin said staring into his golden eyes.

"What makes you think that?" Sesshomaru said without looking at her.

"Because you sent Jaken out for wood even though we have many, milord." Rin said. Just about Sesshomaru was going to answer he scented something not right. It was the smell of demons lots of it. He stood up.

"Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Demons are approaching."

He said and walked outside. Demons were passing into the forest and he could hear villagers screaming for help. Rin could hear the thrills of demons everywhere. Sesshomaru started killing some demons who were coming too close to the cave. He didn't know who was the source to all this.

Inside the cave Rin was getting concerned for Sesshomaru. She wanted to look out, but she couldn't the demons would attack her. Rin heard something shift behind her and looked behind, but saw nothing. She saw a vague figure and stood up, but this thing was swift it came up behind her and covered her mouth with a cloth. And dragged her away.

Finally, the demons surpassed and Sesshomaru came back to the cave expecting to find Rin there, but she wasn't. Sesshomaru started looking for her outside, but she wasn't there. He sniffed the air and he only knew that the most recent place she had been was the cave.

'Where could she be?'

"Looooooord Seeesshomaru!" Jaken said running to him. "I saw demons come and I went back to you milord." Ah-Un groaned.

"Huh? Where's Rin?" Jaken said looking left then right.

"She's disappeared."

"How?"

Sesshomaru said nothing to Jaken and turned away from him to walk back to the forest.

"Wait milord!" Jaken said with Ah-Un

RIN'S POV

"I have gotten her my lord." someone said bowing, but the demon was holding me.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was inside a castle, but it wasn't Lord Sesshomaru's.

"Huh? Who are you? What do you want?" I said trying to get out of the demon's hands.

"Shhh stop struggling. We are not going to hurt you... yet" a demon said. He looked really sad when I looked into his eyes. He didn't look like a bad guy. He was handsome with his blond hair and golden eyes. He had 3 slash marks in his cheeks, they were yellow. His ears were pointed just like Lord Sesshomaru's. He wasn't handsome as Lord Sesshomaru though. I know that he wasn't bad guy. I just know it.

"Why are you doing this?" I said still struggling.

"I want to lure Sesshomaru into my castle and it seems you're the only thing that can bring him here. So, we took you." He said

"Who are you..?"

"I am Hyogamaru and I am the leader of the eastern fox tribe." He said with pride.

"But.. why are you trying to lure Lord Sesshomaru here?"

"Because...! Never mind it's none of your business human!" Hyogamaru said. "Put this girl in the chamber!"

I was dragged out by a huge demon that carried me in my waist and tossed me into a dungeon. There wasn't any light, it was really dark. I see bone scattered everywhere mostly from demons. I thought to myself that I was going to get killed by these fox demons, but I had to keep my hopes up that Lord Sesshomaru will eventually save me. Then I saw a big opening near the edge of the chamber.

'Maybe I could fit through there..' I started crawling into the darkness. I got cut in my knee from a sharp object, but I just kept going. I saw that there was a tiny opening and it was impossible only a baby could go through there. I sighed and I thought if my Lord Sesshomaru is looking for me somewhere. I started to miss him and it was only about 3 hours since I was captured of these demons. I think Hyogamaru is still a kind man because his eyes are just filled with sorrow and sadness. I wonder what happened to him….. I hope I could get through him some how.

-------------------------------------------

"Lord Sesshomaru..! Please wait for me!" Jaken said trying to keep up with Sesshomaru.

'I know that she is in the Eastern side because her scent is stronger there. I have to look for her. Her life may be in danger.' Sesshomaru thought and went even faster. Jaken fell more behind. 'I think Hyogamaru is responsible for this.'

Sesshomaru came up to a huge castle that was surrounded by a miasma. It wasn't as strong as Naraku's, but it was strong enough for Sesshomaru's nose to sniff out. Now he knew that it indeed was Hyogamaru's castle. 'Bastard..'

Sesshomaru flew to the castle entrance and took out his tokijin. He swung it and the door flew open. There was on one there but some rotten wood andbroken tables. Sesshomaru walked towards the scent of Hyogamaru.

"Hey Sesshomaru I've been expecting you to come.." Hyogamaru said as he took out his sword.

"What is your business with me?" Sesshomaru said pointing his sword to Hyogamaru's body. "Where is Rin?"

"Oh your woman is at the chambers. She'll be okay… for now" He said as he came towards Sesshomaru with a fast dash, but Sesshomaru easily dodged it within seconds before he attacked. Sesshomaru attacked him and he quickly tried to dodged that, but cut his arm a bit and drew blood.

"Do you really think you can defeat me Hyogamaru?" Sesshomaru said.

"Yeah I can. After what you did you me I will kill you!" He said and he attacked, but Sesshomaru grabbed his neck and started to put pressure on his neck.

"That was a long time ago." Sesshomaru said with his usually cold eyes and voice.

"Y-You still killed him." Hyogamaru said trying to struggling out of Sesshomaru's hands.

"He asked for it."

"You killed my father! And you will pay for that! I've been thinking all those years and I finally know why I am so angry. It's because you killed my father and he was going to exchange his life for my mother's! And he just passed by you and you killed him! I still remember because I saw you!"

"He was in my way."

"Fine I'll just kill Rin and you wouldn't care right because you are an almighty demon that has no feelings. Ha Ha!" Hyogamaru managed to get loose. "Demons! Kill the girl now!" He said on the top of his lungs. While Sesshomaru killed him and dashed to the dungeon.

--------------------------------------------

RIN'S POV

The demons started to come to me and I backed up. I knew that Lord Sesshomaru wasn't going to get to me fast enough. I came into the corner and I knew right then that I was hopeless. Then it comes to me that I-I loved Lord Sesshomaru…. I loved him. Tears formed in my eyes and started to drop. I closed my eyes and waited until the demons killed me, but nothing happened.

I opened my eyes to see Lord Sesshomaru with his tokijin protecting me then he killed all the demons. He put his sword into the sheath and then looked at me. I was so happy to see him that my body ran up to him and hugged him. I knew what I was doing now a let go.

"I am sorry." I said looking down into the floor. Sesshomaru just stared at me. I sniffed and wiped my tears away and just smiled at him. "Thank you for saving me Lord Sesshomaru." I know right then that I loved Lord Sesshomaru and I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, but I knew that would never happen because Master Jaken said that Lord Sesshomaru despised humans.

Sesshomaru looked at me and then walked away from me. And of course I followed him….
