Kagome and Rin threw out the blanket on the sand and started to unpack the stuff in the basket,
"So, daddy, does it hurt to, you know, um, die?" Rin asked, Kagome looked a bit sad, Sesshomaru looked out at the waves.
"To know that I did not die in battle hurts more than you'll ever know," Sesshomaru glancing back at Kagome to tell her with only his eyes to go with the lie that he was telling Rin.
"Of course, because of the person you were," Rin softly,
"Why don't you and Sesshomaru go for a walk in the ocean after you eat?" Kagome suggested.
"Would you like to come with us?" Rin asked,
"Oh, no honey, this is your time with your father," Kagome giving her a small smile. Rin ate her lunch and then went for a walk in the ocean with Sesshomaru. Kagome sat and watched them walk along the beach,
~He could never possibly care for me, he is cold and ruthless, he is only acting nice to me because I took Rin in, what am I going to do after everything goes back the way it should be?~ Kagome laying on the blanket and staring at the sky. A single tear slid down her face, thinking about what she knew would happen, she would save Sesshomaru, Rin would have her daddy back and she would have to return to her era, go to college and even if Sesshomaru made it to her era, little Rin was human and she wouldn't live till the future era that Kagome lived in.
"Mom, are you alright?" Rin standing over her, Kagome blinked a couple times and smiled,
"I'm alright Rin, come here, give me a hug," Kagome sitting up. Rin got on her knees and hugged her,
"You know I love you don't you?" Kagome squeezing her eyes shut tight.
"Yeah, I love you too mom," Rin confused,
"I just want you remember that no matter where you are or who you are with that you know and remember how much I love you," Kagome strongly. Sesshomaru had turned invisible and watched the two women,
~She is saying goodbye in her own way, she wont or doesn't plan on staying in the Feudal Era after the jewel is put back in place and is wished upon.~ Sesshomaru explained to himself.
~You would think she would be happy to live her normal human life but the thing is she has never had normal since she was 15 years old, she doesn't have a life to get back to, all she knows is raising Rin and working and its breaking her heart knowing its all going to end soon.~ his beast explained to him. Kagome and Rin finally pulled away and started gathering up the stuff they had brought for the picnic and headed back to the vacation house.
"Hey mom, can I sleep in the other room tonight, I feel like I'm old enough to sleep up myself now, and now that Sesshomaru's around he can watch over me," Rin explained.
"Sure honey, I'll go make the bed up for you," Kagome trying hard to keep her tears from falling,
"I can do it mom, you have done enough for me in my lifetime, its time I started doing things to help you out," Rin explained. Kagome smiled,
"I'm so proud of you Rin, you have turned into this amazing young woman, you grew up so well and so fast," Kagome hugging Rin again.
"Mom, you'll never lose me, I'm still your little girl and Sesshomaru's too," Rin assuring her.
"Of course you are honey," Kagome swallowing hard as she smiled with glazed teary eyes,
"I'll do the dishes too, you just go and take a nice dip in the hot tub, okay?" Rin smiling.
"Okay honey, I love you," Kagome brushing Rin's bangs out of the way and kissing her forehead, they separated, Kagome went to put her swimming suit on and went to the hot tub.
