Part one
Ten years had passed since the Shikon no tama was purified by the priestess Kagome. Who now lives in a nearby village of Edo with her mate Inuyasha. The young girl who followed the Lord of the West Sesshomaru has grown into an alluring young woman. Rin who is now preparing for her seventeenth birthday and the shiro is preparing for the grand celebration. Secretly the Lord of the western lands had a special present crafted for his young ward. The young land had become his affinity for the last three years. He had the pleasure of watching her become a gorgeous creature that stole his heart. He was not quiet sure when he began to feel love for his young ward but over the years she had captured his heart and by the time he had realized what happened it was too late.
When she was fifteen he noticed her lingering looks and the way her cheeks reddened when their eyes would meet. The actions made the demon lord feel often nervous and uncomfortable around is blossoming ward. Her scent alone was driving him insane when she was fifteen he had resolved that she would be his mate. He slowly began to show his affections for her he began on spring evening after supper Rin was taking her usual stroll through the gardens this evening he followed her watching as she moved gracefully along the stone path casually stopping to pick a delicate blossom for her growing bouquet. She stopped and set on a stone bench and began weaving the flowers in to a elaborate crown. He slowly approached his mind in a tailspin trying t figure away to spark conversation. At this moment he cursed his nature of being a demon of few words. Rin turned and gasped at the site of her Stoic lord glowing majestically in the sunset the gentle spring breeze blowing through his beautiful silver hair. "May I sit" Sesshomaru spoke in his usual bored tone Rin quickly stood gathering her carefully chosen blossoms.
Sesshomaru quirked and eyebrow and said "where are you going, Rin" Rin sauntered by her Lords response and spoke "Lord Sesshomaru would like to sit in peace and enjoy the beautiful spring sunset alone?" The question was more of a statement and the lord gestured for his young ward to sit beside him. Rin's pulse began to quicken and Sesshomaru could smell that she was nervous she began to blush furiously and turned her head down to avoid her lords eyes. Sesshomaru inwardly smirked at her reaction 'so my little Rin is now nervous by my presence' Rin broke the building tension between them by asking, "How was your day my Lord?" Inwardly chastising herself for asking such a stupid question. She knew how his day went she was there. He was in court with the Lord of the South planning a strategic alliance she sang for them and served them all day. 'BAKA' she exclaimed to herself. Sesshomaru spoke in a gentle tone "Things went well the alliance should prove to be formidable for both our lands, it is a beautiful evening?" "That it is my Lord" Rin spoke in a breathy voice.
