~ Several Years Later ~
Rin was not frozen at the age of 18, and had been for the past 365 years. She kept searching for something although she knew not what. All she knew was that she would know when she came across it. Her sire was Kohaku, it happened on the night that she was out patrolling the lands that bordered on the Western lands. Kohaku had told her never to cross the borders, she never knew why for he never told her.
She bumped into a familiar aura and glanced up and saw the most beautiful face she had ever seen. Hair as fair as the moon itself, hair as silver as the lunar rays that sometimes touched the pond she bathed in. He bore the colors of the western lands making Rin bow her head immediately, she did not know why he was out so late at night and so close to her hunting grounds but Kohaku would never want her to start a fight with a possible ally.
She felt fingertips lift her face up as eyes as gold as the sun's rays in the morning bore into her own black ones. His eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on her face. "Do I know you little one?" he asked. "Your aura seems familiar as does your scent." Just as she was about to answer, Kohaku appeared beside her and gently pulled her out of Sesshomaru's grasp, making him growl slightly.
"Rin, I have told you that you must never cross into the Western bordered lands. This is the Lord, he is the ruler of the western lands." Kohaku explained gently, yet underneath his calm demeanor Rin knew she would be severely punished for her disobedience. Sesshomaru looked at her before grasping her wrist.
"I will take the girl, I know how you are Kohaku and you do not treat beautiful women as they deserve to be treated. I saw the condition of the last one that intrigued you. I would have this one. I will see that Jaken brings you sufficient payment in return for the girl" Sesshomaru stated and pulled the girl away. He did not trust Kohaku and he felt he must protect this girl by any means necessary.
Before Kohaku could protest, Sesshomaru had disappeared with Rin in his arms. All Kohaku could do was return to his home and wait. Sesshomaru stepped down in front of his castle and called for Jaken. The little green toad immediately arrived asking his lord what was needed. Tossing him a large bag full of coins he instructed Jaken to deliver it to Kohaku, Jaken left immediately before he regretted it.
Sesshomaru escorted Rin to his own chambers where he took out a dress that His Rin loved to wear and for some reason he handed it to the girl. "Here, you can use this for now." She stared at it before meeting his gaze.
"You have a mate?" She asked, He glanced back at her and she saw only sadness and despair. 'He must have lost her' she thought. She didn't feel right to wear it and gestured to return it before he spoke.
"Had. She died before I could mark her and give her my lifespan. She would have wanted you to wear it. Rin was generous and loved to help everyone, even if she couldn't save herself. You look like her, you smell like her and you even have her aura. Tell me little one, what is your name?" He stared at her and waited.
"My name is Rin my Lord." His eyes widened as he stared. 'Impossible, Rin died almost 400 years ago. How can this exact replica of her be here before me?' he though. He moved towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"You bear her name as well, It is a strong name. Tell me, do you have memories of me at all?" He asked. Rin closed her eyes as she absorbed his aura, his scent and his touch as she searched her memories for any trace of him. Rn whispered a name and had he not been demon he would not have heard it
"Yes, I am Sesshomaru. The same one that all men and demons fear. Yet you never did, everytime you looked at me it was never with fear in your eyes, always love. You made me fall for you only to leave me." He pulled her to him as he buried his face in her neck, inhaling her scent, reassuring himself she was really there. He felt her arms come up around his back as she returned his embrace.
"Not now, but soon my love. We will mate and you will bear my lifespan and share my blood as we were meant to." He leaned his forehead on hers as he kissed her head gently. He turned and left before he lost control. Rin watched as he slammed the door, of all things for a male demon as aggressive as this feared Sesshomaru, slamming a door was not it. Rin sighed, 'what am I going to do?' she thought to herself as she sat down on the bed.
Little did Rin know that Sesshomaru was thinking of what to do with her as well. He arrived at his half-brother's home intending to talk to the priestess about women. Inuyasha was standing outside the hut waiting for his older brother. "Pfft what brings the high and mighty pure demon to my humble abode?" Inuyasha asked with a sneer.
"This Sesshomaru has no need to inform you of his reasons. Now, out of my way Half-breed" He said before pushing past Inuyasha to get to Kagome. She had looked up as she sensed a demon and relaxed when she saw it was Sesshomaru.
"Well, this is a surprise, what brings you here Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked with a smile as she wiped her hands on the apron she was wearing. She sat down after she had poured the tea, Sesshomaru merely watched Kagome while thinking whether or not Rin would make an acceptable Matriarch of the Western Lands.
He finally relaxed enough to tell Kagome of the rising issues between himself and Rin. Then he explained that this was the same soul yet a different body. This one was already made immortal, all the while Kagome listened carefully to every detail before jumping up and rummaging around in her room. Sesshomaru poked his head around the corner and watched.
Kagome emerged from her room holding a Ball shaped Moonstone. "This is what we call Moonstone. In My time It is used for wishing magick. You simply hold the stone in your LEFT hand, and it has to be your left due to the fact that is the side your heart is on. Think of the wish and if it is a just wish and one that is truly heartfelt, it is said to grant the wish." Sesshomaru took the stone and after thanking Kagome he left for home, glancing at the stone in hand the whole journey home.
A/N: What on Earth is Sesshomaru going to wish for? For Rin to be demon like him? Or maybe for her to remember everything about her previous life with him when she loved him? I guess we will see where the story goes. While I respect and understand some reviews to be "helpful" I will not tolerate flames. I have seen flames left on some writers' stories and I will not tolerate them. If you have nothing nice to say about the story then I ask you to please DO NOT READ ANYMORE OF THIS STORY. Thank You
