Four years passed by and there was still no sign of Sesshomaru's lost daughter. He searched almost everywhere. Her scent was gone. He looked up at his home. He thought she was safe there with him but it turned out to be wrong. It was an awful conclusion but she was dead.
He walked upstairs and into his room. His mate Rin was sleeping. He smelled her salty tears. They stained her pillow. He sat beside her and caressed her hand. She opened her eyes and smiled. He smiled back. Four years ago he almost lost her but thankfully Kagome was able to help her.
"Sesshomaru…"
She whispered he's name quietly. He kissed her forehead and let the pain of telling her consume his heart. She pulled away and looked up at him. She knew that he was tearing himself apart for their daughters kidnapping. She tried time and time again to say that it was not his fault but he never listened. He got so distant with her.
"Rin… I… she's…"
He struggled to say it. He closed his eyes and rested his head on Rin's shoulder. Her arms came around him. She already knew what he was going to say. He didn't need to speak anymore. He didn't have to push himself anymore. All he had to do now was lay beside her.
