People have wrongly assumed that since Rin came into my life, she's completely healed me, hmph pathetic. Those worthless humans don't know a thing about me! To think that they actually have the intelligence to know what I, Sesshomaru feel for the scrawny little human girl.

I'm watching her, she's laughing and giggling, picking flowers and annoying Jaken which has become almost like a daily ritual for her. She is amused by the most mundane things, is this how all humans are?

Ridiculous.

No matter what, she's no you. She'll never be you father. She can try to heal my heart but she'll never succeed.

For every time I hear her laugh, I imagine its yours. Every time she smiles I see those, big toothy grins you used to give me when you were proud of me... Every time she embraces me I imagine its you holding me.

You used to do that a lot when I was but a boy didn't you... I wonder if you would have continued doing it if you had ever found out the true nature of my feelings for you.

Feelings that are never-ending and never changing.

Rin... She is a peculiar creature, I tolerate her more out of sheer curiosity But she will always be a poor substitute for what I have truly lost. Her strange kindness can try to shine through to me, but the fact still remains, clear as day.

She's no you.
