Peace Heaven: Hi everyone!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

It was another fine day for Sesshoumaru and Rin since the defeat of Naraku. The trio were going to the castle which was owned by the Lord of the West, Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, how long will it take for us to reach the castle?" Rin asked in a cheerful tone, trying to hide the fact that she was feeling tired as they had been walking for quite a long time.

"Rin," Sesshoumaru called in his usual icy tone.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin answered.

"You can go to take a bath in that lake while Jaken will go and look for dinner as we will be stopping here for a night," Sesshoumaru said, using a finger to point at the lake.

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin said as she gathered her things.

"Rin, come back as fast as possible," Sesshoumaru said.

"Hai, Ah-Un, you came with me too," Rin said as she started to pull Ah-Un with her to the lake.

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

Rin removed her kimono, noticing that her breasts had gotten rounder after a month. She wondered whether her lord had noticed the changes in her and whether was he aware of her affection for him. However, she understood very well that her lord was never going to like her the way she liked him as she knew from Jaken that Sesshoumaru hated human.

Rin sighed and continued to rub her delicate and fair skin with the soap that she received from Kagome-one of the many things that Kagome, Ayame and Sango gave her as they were sure that Sesshoumaru do not know how to take care of her.

Standing up, Rin reached up for the towel and dried herself when she noticed a stream of red-coloured liquid making it way down to her foot.

"Why must girls go through this?" Rin thought as she took a sanitary pad from her bag and used it.

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

"Rin is already a young woman," Sesshoumaru thought while he leant against a tree.

"I'm back," Rin announced as she tied Ah-Un to a nearby tree.

Taking in a deep breath, Sesshoumaru realised that Rin was having a menstruation and the smell of blood was everywhere around him.

"She is really growing up fast," Sesshoumaru thought as he noticed her breasts getting rounder.

"Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin looked up into Sesshoumaru's beautiful eyes, wondering whether if his lord had fallen ill as he had not heard her calling him for a few times.

"Rin, is there anything you need?" Sesshoumaru asked finally snapping out of his thoughts.

"Iie, just want to know why Grandpa Jaken is not back yet? No, now is not the time for that. Is Sesshoumaru –sama alright?" Rin asked worriedly.

"I'm fine and Jaken should be back soon," Sesshoumaru answered.

Over the years, traveling around with Rin, Sesshoumaru had become more conversational though not a lot but it was still better than the time before he met her. In a way or another, Sesshoumaru had become more approachable. Reminder: not a lot, Sesshoumaru is still very cold to people except for Rin.

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

"Sesshoumaru-sama," Jaken called after being away for two hours, the time was longer than the time he usually took to find food.

"Jaken, don't you think that you have been gone for too long?" Sesshoumaru said in the icy tone full of venom.

"I'm sorry, Sesshoumaru-sama. It's just that…," Jaken apologized and started to explain when someone interrupted.

"Long time no see, Sesshoumaru-sama," that someone spoke, causing Sesshoumaru's eyes to widen.
