True love is truly blind
Intro:
"I'm getting soft." Sesshomaru said to himself. Long ago had the ice started to melt from his heart. It started with Rin the kind little human child he saved years ago. Over the five years she had been traveling with him he was amazed that with all the things she had see and bee through in her life, nothing was able to drag her down from high spirits she held. She always had a way of life and happiness around her. Over the time he had grown to accept the human child as his daughter and even though she could never take heir of his land she still loved him just the same. She was turning into a young child now the age of ten it wouldn't be long till he would have to marry her off. It wouldn't be hard, the child had the best of educators under her wing, the finest food, toys and clothing anyone could offer but the one thing he knew she needed the most he had yet to provide to her…a mother what he needed the most….a mate. This is where the other person had started to warm his heart…Kagome, the young miko from his half-breed brothers pack. The name felt so good on his lips. Over the years he had grown fond of the miko from the other side of the well. He would purposely see out his brother in combat just so he could see her face, he would go to them when Rin was sick and ask for the miko's assistance. He eventually found trust in the young girl when he would see the way he would care for Rin as if she were her own pup and how she would draw her into her comfort when him and Inuyasha would fight. After that he found comfort in her presences but now….now it's much more he actually feels he's falling for her. Kami how he loved her laughter, it was something that always warmed his heart when he heard it even if he wouldn't let it show.
He snapped out of his daze and looked at the little girl playing in the field of flowers before him, but then once again his mind claimed him. He noticed how happy she looked but he could tell that there was a hole more a void if you will within the young child.
"Rin come to me." He said calling her to his side. The little girl laughed the whole way over to me like there wasn't a care in the world. "Yes my Lord?"She asked sitting next to him. He looked over at her and placed his hand on the child's head, and smiled lightly when she gave him a quizzical look.
"Rin are you happy?"He asked her softly. She blinked her eyes a few times as if she was thinking on how to answer him. "My Lord how can you ask Rin such a thing? My Lord has provided well for Rin when he didn't have to and has always treated Rin well." She said almost yelling at him and covered her mouth when she realized this, but blushed when he laughed and pulled her into his lap.
"That's not what I meant…are you happy with are pack?" He looked down at her face and could tell she was thinking and decided to aid her on a bit. "Wouldn't it be nice to have a mother for Rin?" The little girl pushed slightly away in shock and looked into her Lord's eyes. "Honestly my Lord!?! Have you found a mate? Is she nice? When can I meet her? Have I met her already? Is she nice? Will she love Rin? Wil….." he brought his fingers up to her lips to silence her before he answered her. "Yes Rin this Sesshomaru feels it is time for him to take a mate and finish our pack. I have a good idea of who I would like to be my mate but I will have to wait to see if she accepts me. She is a woman of great heart and I feel she would care for you deeply. As for has Rim met her Rin will have to be patient and wait to see." He said as he watched the child pouty at the last. "Go play while you still have the light, I'll be sitting right here." He told her as she ran back to her flowers.
"I really am getting soft." He said to himself once again as he closed his eyes to rest against the tree to take the time he needed to figure out what he had gotten himself into.
