Many years passes,
Inuyasha waited around, tying over and over to save her, yet he could not. In the end, he stayed with Kikyo.
The monk and slayer made a home together are cared for shippo as he grew, they stayed near the place were Kagome was lost, yet many years passed, and they would pass without ever seeing their friend again.
Sesshomaru traveled to the village of Kaede often to visit Rin, she grew into a beautiful woman, he was reminded of Kagome some what when he looked at Rin, same bright eyes, long lush hair, happy smile even when she was sad.
"Hi my Lord!" Rin said holding a basket of food "Have you come to see Lady Kaede?" She asked with a bit of concern in her voice.
The old woman was dying, she had lived a long life, she was 80.
Sesshomaru nodded and entered the old woman's home.
"Is that ye Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Hn" He said,
"Come closer"
She was blind now but she could feel him.
"Take your brothers sword, the spell has been lifted"
Kaede pointed to the sword which was covered up on a wall. Sesshomaru looked at it, the sword he fought so hard for at one time. When Inuyasha gave up trying to save Kagome, he left the sword behind.
"What good is it to me now old woman?"
"Take it Sesshomaru" She snapped,
"I am not long for this world and Rin can not care for it, it belongs to your family"
He eyed it again and then looked back at Kaede "I am sadden that I will leave this world without seeing young girl again, Lord Sesshomaru, if you see young Kagome again, tell her not to be sad for this old woman"
"What makes you think I will see the girl again, it is clear she is out of our reach"
But Kaede didn't live longer enough to answer him. 30 years after her death Sango died, he was there for that to, he had taken Rin. Sango was sad to leave her family, yet happy that she was going to see her family that had long passes. She had said something similer that Kaede said, she spoke of how she was sad that she would never see Kagome again.
5 years after her, Miroku died, Rin told Sesshomaru it was because he had a broken heart. Odd enough Rin married one of Miroku's Sons, Sesshomaru was ok with it.
But time passed and even Rin died, she smiled at him and held Sesshomaru's hand.
"Are you sad for me My Lord?"
"I will miss your person" He spoke,
She smiled "Will you be lonely, I don't want you to be lonely"
He said nothing "I wonder if Kagome is sad and alone to, do you think she is still alive?"
Sesshomaru drew his eye brows together "It is possible"
Rin again smiled soft "I know my Lord could save her" She held is hand tight,
"I'm sure she does not want to be alone, and thought you say you like being alone, it is not good, everyone you know will soon be gone"
"Rin" He snapped, she was being morbid,
"I'm sorry my Lord" Rin eyes the sword "Tell Kagome Hi"
"If there miko ever comes back I will tell her so"
Rin smiled for the last time "She will" Rin pointed her finger at him "Don't forget"
He smirked,
She died.
Kikyo had died before Rin, Inuyasha this time, followed her, no questions asked.
Rin was right, everyone he knew, was gone.
Sesshomaru uncovered his brothers sword, it called out to him,
"What will you have me do?"
