This is my first fanfic, so any advice is appreciated (^-^) sorry if there are any spelling mistakes (/).(\)

Small note:

'thinking'

"singing"

Note- This is NOT a lolicon. Rin will be older when all the romantic stuff starts


Sesshomaru let out a sigh as he sat back in his desk chair. He was currently sitting in his study at home and had just finished a ridiculous amount of paperwork, something he was accustomed to since it was to be expected as CEO of his fathers company, Taisho Inc.

He let out another sigh, his father had been mentioning that it might be time for Sesshomaru to find a mate. This certain topic of discussion was being brought up more frequently, which was getting extremely annoying.

Sesshomaru had never had the desire nor time for a relationship. He had always been too busy finding any means of becoming more powerful. Ruling the western lands and now being CEO of the largest company in Japan, he was one of the most respected and powerful demons known. Both humans and demons alike held the utmost respect for him and his family.

Although he had tried telling his father that he had no interest in finding a mate, his father still made it a point to bring up the subject constantly, especially at family gatherings.

"Such a waste of time" Sesshomaru grumbled.

The family gatherings were Iyazo's idea and Sesshomaru loathed them. They always ended in him and his half brother fighting, his father yelling at them, and Iyazo complaining about their manners to Kagome, Inuyasha's mate.

Though him and the half breed had gotten along significantly better since when they used to try to kill each other, it did not mean they enjoyed each others company. He didn't mind the miko as much. She was respectful toward him and would occasionally "sit" Inuyasha, which Sesshomaru had always found amusing.

Standing up from his chair, Sesshomaru walked out of his study to finally relax after a long and stressful week.

Walking down a hallway toward his room, Sesshomaru was grateful that his house was quiet. His house was empty and peaceful. No one besides Jaken would be found in his house. Though Jaken had his own place to live, he had insisted on coming evey day to clean and cook, any way to still serve his Lord brought him joy.

Toward the back of his house was a large forest. While most forests had squirrels and other small animals, his had contained small animal-like youkai. He didn't care if they lived there, they didn't bother him at all and were relatively quiet. Nobody else but Sesshomaru was allowed to walk through the forest. If anyone else dared to, they would be eaten by the small youkai, which wasn't any concern to him. Anyone who would dare wander onto his property without permission deserved nothing less than death.

The number of casualties in the youkai forest located behind his home was very small. No one really came to his house and no one lived near him. There was only one other house on his street, a small house at the far end of the street, a good ways away from Sesshomaru's, sat empty. The people who lived there had moved away years ago and it hadn't sold since.

Sesshomaru rubbed his temple and groaned. He had been working nonstop this week and was currently experiencing a migraine. Just as he got to the door of his room his phone rang.

Sesshomaru pulled his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller i.d. He let out a growl and answered.

"There better be a good reason you're calling me half breed."

"Oi! Bastard! Father needs you to come down to the office! He needs to talk to ya bout something" came the annoying voice of his half brother.

"And what exactly does father wish to speak to me about?" Sesshomaru growled

"How the hell should I know!? Just get your ass down here"

Sesshomaru hung up his phone and rubbed the bridge of his nose. This was turning out to be a tiring day off.

Grabbing his car keys, he walked out his front door and over to his car wondering why his father would want him at the office on his day off.

Driving down the road on the way to Taisho Inc. Sesshomaru glanced at the house located at the end of the street. He noticed a moving van and two cars in the driveway. He briefly wondered who had bought the house, and hoped whoever they were they would just keep to themselves. With that thought, he continued on driving.


"Rin, everything is already set up in your room. Go play, daddy has work to do."

"Ok!" yelled a little girl as she ran up the steps and into her new room.

Rin was excited to be in a new house, and even more excited to be starting kindergarten Monday. She hoped she would be able to make some friends since she never really had any friends before. She was rather lonely and her father was not one to keep her company. He was always at work, and before arriving at their new home he informed her that she would have a nanny that would be taking care of her during the day. Her father had decided to stay in his apartment in New York where the business he worked for was located.

Rin wasn't upset after hearing that, she was used to him not being around. She knew another reason he didn't stay around her too much was because she resembled her mother, who had left Rin and her father for another man.

Her father then taught her that falling in love would only cause heartache. It was then that she had made a decision to never fall in love.

"Hmm...oh wow!" she said as she walked into her new room and saw the balcony. She walked over and looked outside, gasping slightly when she saw a beautiful forest. She loved nature, and seeing forests always reminded her of her favorite Disney movie, Bambi.

'Daddy will be gone tonight so maybe I can go there' she thought as she searched for her Bambi movie.

"Yay! Found it!" She jumped up and down holding the movie. After putting the movie in, she jumped on her bed and wrapped herself in her blankets to get comfy.

Later that night, after her father left, Rin grabbed her flower boots and ran out the door. Looking up at the night sky she smiled, happy to be outside.

Still smiling and starring at the stars, Rin made her way to the forest, hoping she'd see some deer that looked like her favorite Disney character.


Sesshomaru drove into his driveway while thinking back to what had just occurred. He was mad. His patience with his father was definitely thinning.

-Flashback-

After an hour of talking to his father about non important documents, Sesshomaru was starting to get suspicious. He already knew the company's plan, so his father really had no need to go over it with him. In fact, they had discussed these plans only a week ago.

Just as he was about to question his father, the office door opened and a man along with a young woman came in.

The man looked to be in his 50s. He was a short, chubby man who had brown hair that was turning grey. He was wearing a grey suit and black dress shoes. He wore a simple silver watch and was smiling ear to ear.

The woman, who looked to be in her 20's, had on a short black dress which was, in Sesshomaru's opinion, too tight. She had her dark brown hair done up in a ponytail. Once she spotted Sesshomaru, she batted her eyelashes and stuck out her chest a little more. Sesshomaru fought the urge to roll his eyes.

He already didn't like them.

"Ah" said InuTaisho, "so glad you could make it. Sesshomaru, this is Mr. Crezo and his daughter Sara". InuTaisho looked to his son and winked.

'So that's what he had planned' thought Sesshomaru, as he gritted his teeth.

"Father. If we are done discussing the documents, I will be on my way so you can talk with..Mr. Crezo." he said while narrowing his eyes at his father.

"Oh no, please stay, it's a pleasure to finally meet you Sesshomaru" exclaimed Mr. Crezo, all the while keeping his wide smile in place.

Sesshomaru briefly thought about melting the smile off the mans face with his poison claws.

InuTaisho gave his own wide smile and looked at his son "Sesshomaru please keep Sara company for a few minutes. Mr. Crezo and I have a few things to discuss"

Sara sat in a chair near Sesshomaru as the two business men walked out the room. He had no desire to have a conversation with the woman, so he just sat there and closed his eyes, content to patiently wait for his father to return. Unfortunately, the woman had other plans.

"So, Sesshomaru was it? Oh my, you are indeed handsome! I have to say I never thought I'd meet you like this but fate seems to have worked in my favor"

Sesshomaru paid no attention to the talkative woman in the room. Instead, he focused on debating how best to kill her.

Just as he worked up a fairly gruesome yet satisfying scenario, his father and Mr. Crezo walked in. He immediately stood and made his way out of the room, not bothering to say goodbye to any of them.

InuTaisho followed his son out the office and grabbed his arm."Son, what happened? I truly thought she'd be a good match for you"

Sesshomaru glared at his father.

" Please refrain from trying to set me up again father. I have already told you I have no desire for any type if a relationship rite now." He turned away and continued to walk to his car.

-End Of Flashback-

Sesshomaru slammed his car door shut and walked into his house. He needed some peace and quiet. The last thing he wanted was to be annoyed by a certain imp as soon as he walked through the door.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Where were you my Lord?" Jaken squeeked, waddling up to him. "I cleaned the upstairs even though it was not that messy. That is to say I would never think one as gracious as you would make a mess! I-"

"Jaken." Came the baritone voice of Sesshomaru as he walked toward the back door.

"Yes Milord?"

"Leave." said Sesshomaru as he walked outside. The beast within him wanted to lash out and kill anything that dare to approach him. He was fed up with his father and needed time to cool down. If he had stayed inside he might had killed Jaken, although sometimes he wondered if that were really such a bad thing.

"Another migraine" he growled as he walked toward the youkai forest.


Rin walked into the forest and looked around wide eyed. She couldn't see much because of how dark it was but she was sure that it was beautiful.

She smiled wide, singing the song from Bambi that was stuck in her head, and continued on into the forest, unaware of the glowing green eyes watching her.

"Love is a song that never ends.."


Sesshomaru walked through the forest, thankful for the moment of peace. As a cool wind blew he caught a scent he didn't recognize. It was a pleasant scent that smelled of vanilla and flowers. It was then that he realized that the scent was coming from somewhere in the forest, on his property.

Sesshomaru let out a growl and stalked toward the area where the scent was strongest. His beast was in the mood for blood and he was more than willing to comply. Letting his anger out on the fool who dared to wander onto his property would surely be enjoyable. While making his way there he heard a pleasant voice singing.

As he got to the spot where the scent and the singing was coming from, he jumped onto a branch and glanced at the source.

There, sitting against a tree, was a little girl, a little HUMAN girl, no older than 5 or 6, on HIS property. Just as he was about to jump down, he heard her start to sing again.

"Love is a song that never end,

Life may be swift and fleeting"

Her voice, though most definitely not professional, was one of the most soothing he had ever heard, and had a calming effect on him. Even his beast began to purr in contentment as it settled down, it's earlier bloodlust forgotten.

"Hope may die yet love's beautiful music"

'Hn. Foolish human. Relaxing in a youkai forest'

"Comes each day like the dawn.." she looked up to see the stars but frowned. She couldn't see them through the trees.

Standing up, she walked over to a tree that looked pretty easy to climb. Placing one foot on a low branch and grabbing a higher one with her small hand, she started to make her way up the tall tree.

Sesshomaru continued to stare at the human. He had felt peaceful and was surprised that her voice had done what no one was capable of doing. Calming his beast. He wondered if she was now living at the house at the end of the street, and if so, why did she come into the forest at night?

Furthermore, what did the foolish human think she was doing?

Rin told herself multiple times not to look down. She was almost at the top. 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea'

Just as she got to the top, her foot slipped off the branch she was on, causing her to fall. Rin let out a scream and closed her eyes tightly.

Sesshomaru quickly jumped off the branch he was on and caught the small girl midair. Landing on the ground, he quickly placed her on the forest floor and jumped into the bushes.

Rin opened her eyes and looked around quickly. Everything happened so fast..she felt someones hands as they caught her, but by the time she opened her eyes, whoever it was, was gone.

She looked toward the place she thought he heard rustling from. She knew she probably should be scared, but the person couldn't be bad right? Whoever it was had saved her. Even though she couldn't see who it was, Rin still wanted to say thank you.

Sesshomaru watched as the small girl stared at the spot he was located in. He knew she couldn't see him, and that's how he wanted it to be. Many people still hated demons, and for some odd reason, he didn't want her to be scared of him.

"Um.." came her small voice. He didn't say anything, nor did he move. He took a moment to look over the young girl, her big light brown eyes radiated innocence, her long black hair tied in a ponytail-

"Thank you, for saving Rin! Rin is happy you were here!" she said happily. Sesshomaru just stared at her, confused for a minute until realizing she had referred to herself in third person. She then gave him her biggest and best smile. Sesshomaru stared at the small human. No one had ever smiled at him like that, and it made his heart feel warm and his stomach turn. He turned away from her and started walking back to his home.

Feeling the presence of a youkai near, he stopped walking. Sesshomaru turned and growled, baring his fangs. The youkai was a small raccoon demon by the name of Hachi. He was the leader of the youkai in this forest, and until now, Sesshomaru had no problem with him. He had allowed Hachi and the others to live here as long as he was not bothered by them.

"You will not harm the girl" Sesshomaru growled. He didn't know why he was protecting the girl. But the thought of a lowly youkai harming the small child angered him. Hachi looked nervously at the girl and then at Sesshomaru.

"Yes Milord" Hachi said as he bowed a little. Although he was the leader of the small youkai in the forest, he was pathetically weak to a demon like Sesshomaru. He glanced up at Sesshomaru and saw him still baring his fangs. Hachi gulped and said "I will tell the others they are not to harm her in any way"

Sesshomaru immediately calmed down and looked back to see the girl standing up.

Hachi relaxed a little seeing that he was not going to be harmed. He glanced at the girl who had gotten up to head home he assumed. He had enjoyed hearing her sing, and had no intention of harming her.

Sesshomaru turned and again started walking toward his home, his clawed hand placed on his chest where his heart still felt the warmth from the girls smile. "Hn. Rin.."


InuTaisho stood staring at the small human girl making her way out of the forest. To say he was surprised by his sons actions was an understatement.

He had came to Sesshomaru's house to apologize again when he noticed him walking toward the forest he knew to be filled with the animal youkai. After following his sons' scent, he was surprised Sesshomaru didn't notice him, and was instead watching a small human girl sing.

Quickly masking his presence so his son wouldn't notice him he watched from his hiding spot. He watched the girl try to climb a tree, he watched his son save her, he watched as the child expressed her thanks to Sesshomaru, and he watched his sons surprised expression when she smiled at him. InuTaisho couldn't help but grin at seeing his eldest son holding his chest and walk away confused.

The whole thing had been so out of character for Sesshomaru that InuTaisho was shocked, to say the least. Still looking toward the area the small girl had been, he smiled warmly.

"Just wait until you get older little one, it seems I don't have to worry about my son finding a mate now"


Rin walked into her house and kicked off her boots. Her father wasn't home, which wasn't surprising.

"Soooo tired" she said while stretching.

She ran upstairs and jumped into her bed, smiling as she fell asleep.
