I dont own Inuyasha or any of its characters or the song Beautiful Goodbye.

Fed up with my destiny

And this place of no return

Think I'll take another day

And slowly watch it burn

It doesn't really matter how the time goes by

Cause I still remember you and I

And that beautiful goodbye

Beautiful Goodbye-Amanda Marshall

Rin resisted the urge to sigh for the umpteeth time that day. They had been walking since yesterday with only a few half hour breaks when necessary for her, and when the night had fallen she had been instructed to sit upon Ah-Un.

She chanced a glance at Sesshoumaru, who was studying the white feather in his hand, it was hers, Kagura's. Rin felt a tinge of jealousy creep up on her at the thought of the wind witch, that of whom Sesshoumaru seemed fixated upon lately.

The way Rin figured it, she had a right to be jealous, Kagura was pretty, tall, had curves, and was a youkai. Rin on the other hand wasn't as tall, had very if almost no curve, or as Kagome-sama had put it she was a "late-bloomer", Rin being at the age of 16 felt she had the odds against her. Being a ninjen of course didn't help either she concluded, especially when you where a ninjen traveling with two youkai.

Rin was jolted out of her thoughts as Sesshoumaru suddenly came to a stop," Rin come with me."

A look of confusion crossed her face as she followed him for about twenty minutes in silence, he stopped and she almost ran into him.

"Rin you've been wtih me 8 years, your 16 now, it's time you go live with ninjens, I have other matters that need tending to," Sesshoumaru glanced down at the feather in his hand as he said this.

"There's a village over that hill, a family there has been informed of your coming, and are expecting you," the emotionless Inuyoukai turned to look at the girl who had tears streaming down her face.

Rin couldn't believe it," What did I do to deserve this?" "Do I mean nothing to you?" "I want to stay with you!" "Why can't I stay with you?" Rin now was standing face to face with him, as she through her arms around him, burrying her tear staind face against his armor, ignoring the cold feeling of it.

"You are a ninjen, I am a youkai, are paths where never meant to cross."

"Don't you even care about me in the least?" Why can't I stay!" her voice was muffled as she spoke.

Sesshoumaru stepped away from her and out of her grasp," I care for nothing, this is goodbye Rin."

Rin began to walk after his retreating form, "I want to stay, I'll follow you!"

"You'll go to the village."

"I'll run away!"

"What you do now is none of my concern," his voice was cold and it deterred her from following for just a moment.

"Rin," his voice warned her to stop following.

She didn't care though and kept her pace behind him, she was determined.

Suddenly he spun to face her, his eyes bled a dark crimson, his claws and fangs lengthened and his magenta stripes became jagged," Foolish girl, you think I could care for a filthy ninjen such as yourself! "You where a test for tensaiga nothing more!" "Now go, or I will not hesitate to end your pitiful existence!" "Get out of my sight!"

Rin let out a heartwrenching choked sob as she turned and stumbled away from him.

Rin turned her head to see him walking away, she didn't want to go to a village, and she wouldn't go, but as she watched him walk away she said something that she knew only his sensitive hearing could pick up in barely a whisper," I loved you."

He never turned around.

Ok that's it for chapter one and remember to Review!
