My New Life
Summary: Rin and Sesshomaru's new life as a married couple.
'Where is he?' Rin asked in her head. She was practicing with her new sword. "Lady Rin!" Jaken yelled running to her. "Yes, Jaken?" she said swinging her sword to his neck. He squealed terrified while Rin gave out a sweet grin. "Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt you." She said shutting her eyes and grinning an even larger smile. They walked in her hut and she sheathed her sword to her waist. "So what was it you wanted to tell me, Jaken?" she asked putting her hair up in a ribbon. "My Lord would like to see you outside." He said calmly. "Ooh! He's home!" she squeaked excitedly and ran out the front door. "Rin, there you are." Sesshomaru said holding out his hand. "There you are, love." She smiled and walked to him. She hugged him in a tight embrace. "I missed you." She said digging her head in his chest. "I missed you as well, Rin." He mumbled.
Over the years Rin's hearing had developed a lot. Sesshomaru usually mumbles things he wants to say, but doesn't know how to; Rin finds that adorable, but she wouldn't dare tell him, she had no clue how he would react to: "You are so cute when you mumble, love." It would be rather awkward for the two of them. "So how did things go?" She asked after pulling away, his arm around her shoulders. Sesshomaru hesitated for a second. "I did what had to be done." He spoke out.
He could never tell her why he really went away for so long. He was called to eliminate a wolf tribe who threatened to invade his lands. Rin was already terrified of wolves, the mere mention of the word made her shiver, and go into a strange funk. She would go days without speaking a word! So he kept quiet when it came to those creatures.
He held her close and sat down in front of their home with her on his lap. Rin loved these moments, she wanted them to keep going on and on, and never end! They usually sat there in silence enjoying their company and staring off into space, their minds completely blank.
"Ooh, look…" Rin whispered pointing at a snowflake that was falling down softly in front of her. She held out her hand and they both watched it melt. Sesshomaru loved to watch Rin in the snow, ever since she was a child, she would just sit there and watch the snowflakes fall, or she would dance around as the white petals of frozen rain fell down and clinged to her long brown hair. Rin gave out a slight shiver. "Are you cold?" he asked placing his boa around her shoulders. Rin smiled. She loved it when she got to wear it, it was so soft and it smelled just like Sesshomaru. The smell was forestry, and strong. She could never get enough of it. She somehow felt safer whenever he was near, of course, he was the Lord of the Western Lands, and most feared demon in that region.
After the snow covered the ground, in a white glistening blanket, Sesshomaru picked Rin up in his arm and took her to a tree branch. "Why are we here, love?" she asked. "I just wanted to come and sit here." He said in his usual monotone voice as he wrapped his arm around her again. He set her legs on his lap allowing her to rest her head on the tree. He fixed the boa to where she was almost completely immobile! Rin knew he did it out of concern, she loved him for that.
Sesshomaru was never one for saying how he felt, but he always made sure to keep her in the know of his love by doing small things like these. These moments made Rin think back to the first time he ever showed any signs of interest towards her. It was the day they met, he was injured in the woods, and she had a black eye.
"I love you, Sesshomaru-Sama." She whispered. "As do I, Rin." He replied.
