*I don't own Inuyasha.*

Hey guys! Back with another story! Hope you enjoy! Reveiw though!

Sesshomaru

Sesshomaru was silent, the castle walls were quiet. The usual laughters and giggles were now echoes that never seem to be real. Sesshomaru stood, watching his silenced mistress as she lay on her deathbed.

Her silky black hair was now crisp white and her peach skin was now pale, wrinkled. Her voice was that of chiming bells, but now were rasped and forced. But one thing remained the same, that childish look she held in her big doe like eyes.

"Sesshomaru-sama..." A raspy voice sounded, Sesshomaru's gaze turned to his wife, his mate. His other half, him in a sense. But her chocolate brown eyes expressed fear. "I am dying," She said.

His eyebrows knit together in worry, but her hand stretched out to touch him. Fear clasped his heart, she was dying. It wasn't a lie, decades before he would have accepted this easily, thinking that this child, wouldn't be much of importance in his conquest for power.

But now, he had mated her, though, sadly they couldn't produce children. Not a single one, Rin was grief-stricken. Learning the reality of being infertile was too much. Though the two grew stronger, living a life of brief romance.

"Don't say silly things." He could only say as the image of them on the cliff emerged. Rin had bent over to pick flowers but found a grave. He remembered himself watching as her fingers traced the name inscribed in it.

"Will you remember me when I die?"

Back then, he didn't want to think about it. After all, Naraku had plagued his thoughts at the time, he hadn't really thought about a mate. He kneeled beside her bedside and let her hand graze his cheek.

"Sesshomaru, promise me something?" She asked. His eyes met hers, and to his surprise, he saw an amusing glint in her eyes. He nodded and she smiled, "Marry someone who can give you a child, please?" She asked and his eyes widened.

"No." He said and she sighed, "I don't want to see you sad..." Rin said before biting her bottom lip. Just then a coughing fit overcame her. Sesshomaru was by her side, his hand supporting her back while her body racked with coughs.

Sesshomaru fought back the tears, he knew she was close. But when she stopped his heart gave a squeeze. Was she moving? Please... he begged all Kamis he had come to know or have heard of for her life.

But when she inhaled he heaved a sigh. She was still here, and that was comfort enough. "Hold me..." She whispered. Sesshomaru did as his mate commanded, lying down next to her and pulling Rin into his arms.

It seemed so surreal, like it was all a dream. But the Lord knew better, wishing like it was a dream wasn't going to help. "Sesshomaru...kiss me...please?" She said and Sesshomaru's eyes widened but he did so.

His lips came in contact with her pink feather soft lips. But he didn't go rough on her, knowing he might suffocate her, they parted after a whlie, he wouldn't dare wait till her oxygen ran out. "Thank you. I love you." She said before sighing and relaxing in his arms.

Sesshomaru didn't say a word, he noticed her heart grow slower and her breaths became hitched. But he couldn't let her go...but watching her struggle he couldn't take it, Rin was everything, he was supposed to protect her.

His heart melted, he placed a kiss on her sweat covered forehead. "Rest,, I will follow Love." He said and Rin let out a whimper,but she let out a breath and her heart stopped beating. Her body no longer moved.

Sesshomaru's mind was flooded with images of her. Rin, his mate, wife, lover. Was gone. With her, she took him. The day of him reviving her, their first kiss. Night of passion all went through his head.

He couldn't take it anymore..

He stood up, making sure Rin was firmly in his grasp bridal style. He took one look at her and her face expressed that of bliss. He walked out of the room, his momoko draping itself on Rin. Sesshomaru remained silent.

Servants bowed and some grew teary eyed. Sesshomaru just kept walking, not caring where he was going. He felt empty, she wasn't there, she wasn't with him. He was carrying her dead shell.

"Sesshomaru-sama..." A Kappa Youkai said as his scrawny green legs raced after him. The imp was attached the the lady as well. But knowing his lord, he smartly removed himself from his side.

'I promised to protect you...' His clutch on her tightened. 'But I cannot even protect you from death!' His Tenseiga didn't respond. Sesshomaru was left with nothing to hope for, all his chances were gone.

Finally Sesshomaru knew where he was going as the door was burst open by your's truly. His feet had dragged him to Rin's garden. He immediately heard the faint echoes of her laughter sound.

He stopped at the Sakura tree. It's petals were falling like rain, drenching the two. Sesshomaru let out a "Hn." it was so ironic to stop here. Of course he had been here a millions of times. But it hit him, quick and rash he let out a wail of pain.

Rin was dead. And she was never coming back.

500 Yearslater.

After a final cry of a mother she relaxed as she heard faint cries. After men in blue scrubs scurried around she finally saw a hint of pink across from her. The father beside the exhausted woman overjoyed.

The woman's hands found their way around the small bundled up child. The child in her arms had a red face and a few brown hairs sticking out of the pink cap they placed on the baby's small head.

The father smiled at the child. "What should we name her?" He said as he stared lovingly at the child. The mother smiled as the baby latched onto her nipple. "Rin, Rin Higurashi." She said with a smile.

The father kissed his wife's head and smiled at their baby girl Rin.
