A/N: This was written to the song Don't take the girl by Tim McGraw
Sesshomaru held his head in his hands after waking from a much needed sleep of over indulging in beers with Miroku. He turned to his side and noticed Rin sleeping peacefully, he smiled and kissed her temple softly before standing up. He remembered how his previous life with her ended in her death and he was determined to not let that happen again. As she woke and turned on her music, Sesshomaru heard a song that triggered memories of that event.
FLASHBACK
An 8 year old Sesshomaru was tailing after his father to go fishing when a little girl came through with her own. Inutaisho looked at him with a smile. "We can't leave her behind Sesshomaru" Sesshomaru shook his head emphatically while begging his father not to take her. "I know you don't want her to go, maybe someday you'll change your mind"
"Take Inuyasha, Take Koga, take my best friend Tayuke…..Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go. Take any boy in the world daddy please don't take the girl" Sesshomaru said as he clasped his father's pants in his tiny hand, his eyes full of begging. Inutaisho shook his head and told Rin to tag along but keep up.
Rin fished with Inutaisho and more than once got her hook caught in her arm, which had Sesshomaru running over to carefully remove it each time. He knew he loved her, but he couldn't show it. Inutaisho smiled knowing in a few years things would change.
As the years passed, Sesshomaru and Rin grew closer and were the closest of friends. Right up through high school where they started dating. He grabbed her around the waist and kissed her in front of the movie theatre's picture show in front of everyone there. He had turned for two seconds when a stranger came and grabbed her while he held a gun to her.
"If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm. You can have her back." He said. Sesshomaru quickly raised his hands and begged him that he could take his money, take his wallet, credit cards, even his car as long as he didn't take the girl.
FLASHBACK
Sesshomaru smiled when he remembered how she treated him as a patient, acting like a nurse over his slight wound that he had gotten from dealing with the low thug. She fretted over him like it was life threatening.
Then he frowned when he remembered when he almost lost her. He had unknowingly asked, even begged the Goddess to take his own life and she reset time for him to alter that fate, a debt he would forever be indebted to.
FLASHBACK
Sesshomaru ran into the hospital where the Doctor informed him that he could visit her for a few minutes. He talked to her and kissed her lightly. Rin told him it was time for her to go, the doctor said the baby was fine, but he had to leave due to Rin's life fading fast.
Sesshomaru dropped to his knees in the waiting room and begged the Goddess to take the very breath she gave him, take the heart from his chest, he would gladly take Rin's place if she'd let him. Begged for the Goddess to make it his last request, to take him from the world as long as she didn't take the girl.
The Goddess took pity on his love for the human woman and took a handful of her dust from her hourglass and blew it down onto the Earth, resetting time to an 8 year old Sesshomaru meeting Rin as she walked through the gate to tag along with fishing.
FLASHBACK
He washed his face and dried it off as Rin came up behind him and leaned her head on his back. Sesshomaru smiled and turned to embrace her. "You should be in bed love. You need to take it easy today after all that hard work you did last night at the shop. You lifted a lot of heavy boxes" he said softly as he carried her to bed and laid her down. Rin grabbed his hand and pulled him to her.
"Stay Sesshy. The baby's kicking and I want you to feel it." She said, he smiled and placed his hand on her stomach before kissing it softly. "He is going to be as strong as his daddy, I can feel it." Sesshomaru tensed up, it was a son before as well, flashes of fear struck through him as he fought against the fear of losing her again.
"Rin please don't go through with this pregnancy. I just have a feeling it will end badly and I couldn't stand it if I lost you." Rin smiled and cupped his cheek softly. "Rin I saw this scene before, you pregnant, giving birth and you died. You delivered a son"
"Sesshy, relax. This pup is a full Inu-youkai. He won't let anything happen to me, of that I am sure. I have faith everything will be fine. From what you told me, Kuan Yin reset time out of compassion and pity for your love for me and altered time to give us more time together. Why would she let the same thing happen twice?"
Sesshomaru curled up next to her and held her in his arms. "I hope you're right Rin. I just can't lose you. I can't" he whispered, Rin held him as tight as she could while she kissed him deeply, whispered it would all be alright.
A/N: What is Sesshomaru to do? He knows what happened before to her and now he is in the same predicament as before. Hmmmmm what to do lol
