A/N: This is my first Sess/Rin fanfic. I'm so proud of myself. Yes, you will see the names Angel and Faith, but they are very minor characters (just thought I'd clear that up now.).

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters.

Chapter One

She sat in the garden letting the wind blow through her dark brown hair. The young girl of 17 years had been sitting on one of the many stone benches in her garden since morning. It was now early afternoon. She knew her lord would be coming to get her for lunch. At least she hoped it would be him. Usually it was Jaken who came to fetch her.

It had been 10 years since she first saw her lord. And in those ten wonderful years, the once little girl, had changed in many ways. Physically and emotionally. She had grown into a beautiful young woman and along with her body her feelings for her lord also grew. This beauty wasn't as naïve as everyone thought her to be. She knew that the admiration and respect she held for her lord when she was a little girl had changed into pure love.

She loved Lord Sesshomaru and she wasn't afraid to admit that to herself. But only to herself. If others knew they would just laugh at her silly dream. She knew that Lord Sesshomaru would never fall in love with a human girl such as herself, but she couldn't help to wonder what things would be like if he could.

"Rin." A feminine voice called.
Rin snapped out of her thoughts and turned her attention to the servant.
"Angel! I'm so happy he sent you instead of that toad."
Angel giggled. "I'm sure you know why I'm here. It's lunch time."
"I know, but will you come and sit with me for a few minutes and talk."
"Oh I don't know."
"It won't be long. Promise."
"O.K." she sat next to Rin on the stone bench.

Angel was a servant at Lord Sesshomaru's castle. She was half-demon and has worked here since she was 15.
"Angel, 5 years ago, a few days after you arrived, you told me that you loved Lord Sesshomaru and would do anything to have him. Is that still true?"
"Sort of. I still love him, but not as much. I know I'll only be a servant to him and I've come to live with that. When I was younger I would have done anything to mate with him, but now I'm just happy to be here. What about you?"
"Me?" A light blush started to form of her cheeks.
"Don't bother trying to hide it Rin. I know you as well as I know my own sister."

Rin gave Angel a smile. "I think I'll go in for lunch now. I'll talk to you later. Make sure you tell Faith I said hi."
"I will and good afternoon, Lady Rin."
"Angel. What have I said about the title?"
"Sorry. It just slipped. Go. Our lord is waiting for you."

"Lord Sesshomaru. Sorry I took so long." Rin gave a low bow. "I was having an intriguing conversation with Angel."
He gave a slight nod. After she sat down he spoke.
"You seem to be very fond of Angel."
"Yes. She's a really sweet person."
"You consider this girl a friend." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Besides for you, My Lord, and Master Jaken she's the only person I ever really talk to. I think of her as one of my best friends."
He gave another slight nod and continued eating. The rest of their lunch was spent in silence.

After she was finished, Rin excused herself and went upstairs. Hopefully Angel or Faith would be up there waiting for her. Opening the door she was relieved to see that Angel's older sister Faith was there putting away clean kimonos.
"Faith, have you ever been in love?"
"Why, yes I have. Why do you ask?"
"What happened with the person you were in love with?"
"He died. I was 14 and there was a war going on. Before he left to battle he promised that as soon as he came back we would marry. He died in battle."
"Oh. I'm sorry to bring it up."
"Oh don't worry about it, Rin. Now will you please tell me why you ask me this?"

"Just curiosity I guess."
"Or maybe it has something to do with Sesshomaru-sama."
She gasped, "Did Angel tell you something?"
"She may have hinted something, but I already was able to tell about your feelings when I look at how you look at Sesshomaru-sama."
Rin blushed. Why does it seem as though everyone can tell how I feel except him?

"I can't believe he sent me away." Kagura murmured.
Naraku had been defeated four years prior and after he died Kagura went to Sesshomaru. She served under him, mainly as a whore. Kagura didn't mind it one bit, but then all of sudden, two years ago, he demanded that she leave the castle and never return.

It has something to do with that girl.
"Kagura?" a quiet voice asked.
"What do you want Kanna?"
"I was wondering why you are thinking about this after two years?"
"I am because now, after two years, I finally know what I'm going to do to get back at Sesshomaru."
"Oh."

It took two long years to figure out what I was going to do and to pinpoint exactly what caused the sudden change in Sesshomaru's attitude, but now that I know there is nothing to stand in my way. He'll take me back and the girl won't be there to see anything after that happen.

REVIEW! I really want to know what people think about this.
