"Don't look at me, please." Rin said as she was being pulled in close by Sesshomaru. He gave her such cold eyes as he held her.

"You made the mistake of telling me you love me. So don't give me that bullshit of you not wanting me to look at you." Sesshomaru said with his usual cold voice. His eyes looked down at her as he pressed her small body against his. "You're heart beats so softly for a girl who claims to be so strong."

"Please! Just let me go!" She cried. "This isn't right!"

"Oh?" Sesshomaru started off as he tilted his head to the side and looked at her. "And those people saying you're too young for my love is? You love me Rin. It's your fault I'm holding you like this. You shouldn't of confessed what your heart was feeling."

Rin gave up struggling and rested her head on his strong chest. As she cried quietly her face was being tickled by the long fluffy scarf Sesshomaru wore. Her tears dripped down the side of her face and onto his shirt.

"Stop crying." He demanded. "You're getting my shirt wet with your useless tears. There is no point in crying."

Rin had harvest a strong love for Sesshomaru since she was a child. And he cared dearly for her no matter how cold he was. He left everything behind just to make her older.

As he held her, both Rin and Sesshomaru had gotten a strong, clear flash back of what happened that one day, the day when she confessed. Rin was only a child, about 9 going on 10.

Her soft and innocent eyes looked up at him with a smile. "I love you! Master Sesshomaru!" Rin said with her cute little girl smile. Her eye browse drew forward and was ready for the rejection. But to her surprise, he just smiled and kissed her on the forehead. For the first time, in the whole time she has been with her Master Sesshomaru, she's seen him actually grin.

"You're too young for my love." He said simply and left her to play.

The tiny Rin felt her heart break before her eyes. He lifted her spirits with a peck on the forehead but ripped her in half with those words. "Too young?" She echoed his word with the sound of hurt in her voice. She may have been very young but she understood the feeling of love. After all Kohaku had broken her heart once before.

Sesshomaru shook his head as Rin put her hand on her forehead. They tried to stop the memory from taking over their minds at a sensitive moment like this.

"Rin..." Sesshomaru said softly and let her go. "Go get some rest and wash up. I don't need to see you with tears in your eyes."

Rin nodded and started to walk away. She still sniffled some and glanced back at him. Sesshomaru did not't look at her, he just read his book. Feeling confused. She darted off to her room in the big cabin and locked the door. Rin landed onto her bed and let the pillow drown out her cries.

A little while later, Sesshomaru came into her room to look in on her. He would always secretly see if she was alright once she was sleeping. Rin's pale face was no longer red from crying but back to its pale beauty. He sat next to her on the bed and was careful not to wake her. Sesshomaru's cold, yet bright yellow eyes, turned soft and loving. He gently stroked the side of her face. He suddenly picked up on a dream she was having. "Ah so she was thinking the same thing as me from when I held her. She and I are linked after all. But... people still think you're too young for my love. I'm sorry to be so cold Rin." He said some what sadly

Rin dreamed on without knowing he was talking to her. Her dream took place of the day after, the day after she confessed her love to Sesshomaru.

"Rin... Come here. "Sesshomaru said as he walked with great pride toward her. He looked at her with soft eyes as she played under the tree. He sat under the full bloom tree.

Rin came running over to him happily. "Yes Master Sesshomaru?" She asked as she became eye level with him. Since he sat down she could look right into his lovely eyes.

"How would you like to be older?" He asked.

Rin had the biggest smile shown upon her face and her little eyes became overly large with joy. Her hands clasped together in a hopeful way to show she was praying it wasn't a dream. "Master Sesshomaru! This is so sweet of you! I would love to be older."

"Alright, but don't be upset when you find out the oldest I can make you is 16 and you have to grow on your own from there." He replied as she nodded.

"Oh Master! I could never be mad at you." She said with her hands still clasped together.

Sesshomaru smiled as he was watching and thinking she was so adorable at this moment. He thought of Rin as such a sweet little girl and wondered what kind of women she would grow up to be. He defiantly knew she would be beautiful.

"Rin come here and sit in my lap." Sesshomaru stroked her hair lightly and smiled.

"How will this work Master?" She asked looking up into his eyes.

He gave her no reply as he took out his sword and she looked in fear. Her eyes wide and she was scared that he might kill her. "Trust me." Sesshomaru, whispered in her ear. "I won't hurt you." Her muscle relaxed as he drew his blade across his arms and blood dripped down freely. It stained his white kimono pants. Rin looked at him with rather curious glance. "Drink it." Sesshomaru ordered her in a whisper. Rin hesitated for a moment but put her small lips on his arm and started to suck on the wound. Her mouth filled with blood. She was new to the taste but rather enjoyed it. With one quick gulp it went down. Sesshomaru patted her head and whispered. "Good girl."
