Ladies and Gentlemen…yet another RinxSesshy fanfiction to add to my collection of stories! This story isn't going to be a romance link between them, more of family. And as the story progresses, you will understand why. I actually thought up this story a long time ago, and began writing it on another fanfiction site, but for some reason never got back to it. I'm hoping that by publishing it here, I'll pay more attention to it and actually get started on finishing it. And now…prologue!
(Story)
In the palace of the West, fighting from the battlefield could be heard and the screams of people form the local village were echoing within the walls. The servants and guards were running around frantically trying to shield off the palace from enemy fighters closing in. In the midst of the chaos in the palace, a servant was frantically clenching the reins of the two headed dragon demon, Ah-un, as she ran over to the middle of the courtyard and waited. A few moments later, Ah-un detected the presence of Sesshomaru as he ran through the hallways, one arm hugging a woman as he ran. She held a bundle of blankets in her arms as she and Sesshomaru approached the servant. He immediately grabbed the reins and dismissed the servant. After she left, Sesshomaru turned back to the woman.
"Rin, take Ah-un! You'll travel faster with him!" Sesshomaru said as he threw the reins over Ah-un's head. Rin then reached an arm out and placed it on Sesshomaru's chest. She glanced up at him, heartbroken and in tears.
"Sesshomaru, please, don't make me leave without you!" She sobbed. Sesshomaru then quickly released Ah-un's reins and brought his hands to Rin's face, cupping her check fiercely as he gazed his golden eyes into Rin's deep brown ones.
"Rin…I don't know what I would do if I lost you! Please!" Sesshomaru said.
"S-Sesshomaru, please! I don't want to go! I don't want to leave you again! We've just began a life together! I don't want to leave you!" Rin pleaded in between sobs. With that, the sadness in Sesshomaru's own eyes became apparent as his eyebrows furrowed, and his hands became gentle as he began stroking her soft, long, flowing brown hair with a clawed hand.
"Please…live on…leave and live on for me! Live a long life…along with her! If not for me, live for her! Live for our baby…our Aki!" Sesshomaru pleaded as he gazed down at the bundle in Rin's arms. A demon infant was sleeping peacefully in Rin's arms…the only peaceful thing that existed in Sesshomaru's world at the moment. Her tuff of white hair couldn't hide the ears the poked out from her head. Rin then gazed down at the along with him, then lifted her head back up. The sadness was still there, but she nodded her head in agreement.
"…All right…all right! I will! Oh Gods, Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed as she wrapped her husband in a one armed hug, holding her baby in her other arm. Sesshomaru held her head close to him with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her shoulders as he embraced her back. He then quickly kissed her cheek and moved to her lips, locking them in a kiss of desperation. They poured as much passion and love into this kiss as they possible could before Sesshomaru broke away and leaned in toward his daughter.
Sesshomaru nuzzled his nose against Aki's own nose and touched his forehead with hers. At this contact, Aki began opening her honey eyes and gazed up at her father as she cooed. He saw his tears fall upon her face as he backed away, and Aki flinched a bit at the sensation.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry Aki!" Sesshomaru said as he forced a smile and wiped away the tears with his thumb. As he touched her, he felt this smile disappear and his leaned in and they touched foreheads again.
"I'm so, so, so sorry Aki!" He fiercely whispered as he gently sobbed. Sesshomaru then heaved a shaky sigh and gingerly cupped Aki's face and kissed her cheek, then her forehead, then her nose. He stroked his daughter's soft cheek a few more times before returning his kisses to Rin. After they broke away their passionate kiss, Sesshomaru helped Rin climb into Ah-un's saddle and settle Aki in her arms. After she adjusted herself, Rin leaned down to Sesshomaru and embraced him with one arm and whispered in his ear.
"I love you! No matter what happens, I love you!" Rin said in his ear. Sesshomaru placed his hands on Rin's head and neck and returned her words of love.
"Gods, I do to Rin! I love you! I always have and I always will! I'll come and find you! I promise, my love!" Sesshomaru said as he kissed her cheek again. With one, last final kiss of desperation, Rin clenched onto the reins as Sesshomaru stroked his daughters cheek.
"Aki, no matter what, please remember me and remember that I love you! I love you my Aki!" Sesshomaru said as he kissed his daughter one last time. With that, Rin kicked the sides of Ah-un, and he sprinted for a few paces in the courtyard before taking to the air. Rin glanced back in tears as she saw Sesshomaru standing in the courtyard gazing on at her. She kept on glancing back at him until he disappeared out of sight as Ah-un flew into a patch of trees.
Sesshomaru felt his heart sink and a lump form in his throat as he watched his girls leave the palace. He wasn't sure if he was ever going to see them again after this, so he devoured every last second that he could see Rin as she flew away from him with his child.
When they finally disappeared out of sight, he heaved a heavy sigh before turning away and returning to his duties as a battle general getting ready to enter war. As he returned to his room and put on his battle armor and retrieved his sword, his glanced into the mirror he had placed on the wall there and simply gazed at himself in the mirror. Everything about him showed the gallant warrior he'd become over the years: his armor, his pose, his stance, even his sword. Everything was in place for a fighter, except for his tear stained face. He simply watched himself let the tears stream from his face. He didn't gulp, he didn't sniffle…he didn't make a sound. He just let the tears stream down. He couldn't afford to let himself go into full fledge sobs. If he started sobbing now, he'd lock himself in his palace and never be able to stop. He had to be ready to fight. He had to prepare himself to go into battle. He had to be strong, like Rin had been strong enough to leave him to protect his future generation…the future generation of the West. He fiercely gripped the sheath of his sword as he sprinted through the palace doors and out toward the battlefield. The quicker that he finished this battle, the quicker he could search for his girls.
Rin…Aki…I will find you! I don't know how, but I will! I swear it on my soul, I will find you!
