A/N: Thank you all for the nice reviews! It's nice to see how many people like this story and want it to continue. It lets me be able to write these things much faster, and give a decent chapter. Well, I hope you like Year 4.

Disclaimer: Rumiko Takahashi owns InuYasha… and I own Kazuko, Hatsujin, and Sasshi :D

January 10th Wow, Sasshi… the time is just going right past us! I'm almost 16, and you're almost 4… I think in demon years a 4 year old is still a baby? Or do they age very quickly, then very slowly? I don't know, but Lord Sesshoumaru is really 500, so don't feel bad if you're actually really old too, Sasshi! Haha, goodnight!

January 26th 2 years until I rejoin Lord Sesshoumaru! Even though when he visited I told him that, he said I would have to wait until my 18th birthday. I don't know why, since it's only a 2 month and 28 day difference! I think I should be allowed to leave now; I don't like not travelling too far outside of this village. I told Milord this, and he told me to have patience. He's never tried this, I think, Sasshi. Goodnight.

February 10th I tripped the other day on a root, and the moment from so many years ago flashed back to me… I screamed and stayed there for awhile. I thought I had died again. Do you think I'll go to Heaven, Sasshi? Last time I died… I went to Hell. Goodnight.

February 20th I told Lady Kaede of what happened finally. Lady Kagome was there too, so I think she heard it too. I asked Lady Kaede if I'll go to Heaven, and she asked why I would bring this up. I told her I just wanted to know. She drew a long breath, and told me people who have been revived go to Heaven, but she paused before she said Heaven. Have I done something in her eyes to be deemed impure and able to go to Hell? I didn't ask anything else. Goodnight, Sasshi.

March 10th I asked Lady Kagome if I was impure. She told me of course not, and I 'inquired' about what Lady Kaede had said. She wouldn't look me in the eyes, and wouldn't say anything! Why is nobody telling me why I'm going to Hell? I think I should know! I bet it's because I talked to Kazuko. I knew there was something bad about her! Sasshi, do you know? Please visit me in a dream and tell me… well, goodnight.

March 12th Well, thanks for giving me dreams, but… they're weird. Last night and the night before it was a quick look at you looking sad, then a blurry sight of Lord Sesshoumaru, then you smiling! Wait, is Sesshoumaru-sama going to take me back to Hell and just leave me there, again? I don't think he'd let me die again… I taught him compassion, remember, Sasshi? Goodnight, Sasshi.

March 30th I'm trying to figure out what you told me, Sasshi. It's hard… please visit me again and tell me what you meant! I've been having the same exact dream every night… it's always starts off with a flash of you with a 'somber' expression on, then a hazy vision of Sesshoumaru-sama shows, then it's you smiling, then I wake up… I don't understand, Sasshi. Maybe you should talk? Goodnight.

April 8th I can't wait to see Sesshoumaru-sama again, because you won't stop with these dreams, Sasshi-chan! Maybe he'll tell me? I hope so. Well, I haven't been feeling good lately, so goodnight, Sasshi.

June 7th My arm feels so much better, Sasshi! I haven't written in you since… April 8th. I have a lot to tell you… Lord Sesshoumaru visited me on my birthday, with a six layer kimono this time. He told me that I'm viewed as ready in the youkai world, but not in the human world. The six layers show the 60 years of maturity (for demons it's 60 years… that's weird.) and it was a beautiful kimono. It was red, orange, and gold with black embroidered patterns. I almost cried when he gave it! I hugged him like other times he'd given me gifts, but, I think I overstepped my limits and threw my arms around his neck, and one arm fell near the Mokumoku, and the other… have you ever noticed Sesshoumaru-sama has a chest plate with very sharp spikes on it, Sasshi? My arm was 'impaled' by them. He said he noticed me not moving and I went 'limp'. He also told me he removed my arm from the spikes (the longest spike could barely be seen coming out the other end of my arm) and he told me my arm was splattering bright red blood everywhere. Not only had it hit an artery, but the blood loss caused me to faint. I woke up two days later, with Sesshoumaru-sama by me. He stayed with me for a few days, and visited me last week to see if my arm was better. Well, now I can write again, but my arm still hurts and is bandaged. I'll be able to take them off in September, since the wounds are very large. I'm happy to be able to still move my fingers, which I couldn't do right away. I hope that's everything, Sasshi. My arm hurts a lot more now, so goodnight!

June 20th I forgot to tell you, I never got to ask Sesshoumaru-sama about the dream. Maybe if he visits this summer I'll ask. Wait, didn't Kazuko say this was mating season for him? Oh… that'd be awkward, then. But, Sesshoumaru-sama never seemed to show anything about it a few years ago, so it wouldn't matter, right? Well, Goodnight.

June 30th I looked carefully at the new kimono today. It's too pretty to wear every day, so I've decided to only wear it when Sesshoumaru-sama comes. I tried it on of course, and Lady Kagome walked in on me changing! I barely had my yukata off, and Lady Kagome apologized for not knocking and walked away, closing my door. I'm still embarrassed about it… well, at least the kimono fits, Sasshi… Goodnight.

July 10th Lady Kagome came up to me a few days ago and apologized further for what had happened. I noticed that I was still short compared to her, and I thought back to when I could just barely get my hands to wrap around Sesshoumaru-sama's neck to hug. I asked her if I was done growing yet, and she said I might get taller by a few centimeters, but that's all! She told me not to worry because I'm a 'B-cup'. I'll ask her about it sometime else, I was too busy realizing I'm still only 157 centimeters! I really am short… goodnight.

July 20th Lady Kagome explained things after I asked her what a 'b-cup' was. She said it's a way of measuring 'breasts'. She said I'm probably a 70B, and I asked if that was good or bad. She blushed and told me it was good for a short girl like me. So… I'm really just a girl? Will I always be a little girl? Sasshi, I bet a lot of guys want you for marriage… Goodnight.

July 31st Lady Kaede noticed me being quieter than usual, and she asked what's wrong. I didn't have the guts to tell her, so… I lied. Well, not really. I told her I was sad because I missed Sesshoumaru-sama, and that's true, but not the big problem. Well, goodnight, Sasshi.

August 13th Lady Kaede told me that Kazuko will be visiting this year and next year, and she didn't bother about the year I wouldn't be around for winter. Was… she sad I would be leaving? I'll be sad too, but maybe I'll visit sometimes? I'll probably have to, to give birth and get medicines and other things. But… I'd have to find a husband before any of that. Who would marry me, Sasshi? I don't know. Goodnight.

August 26th You have a sick sense of humor Sasshi-chan! You gave me that weird dream again, but instead of you, it was Kazuko appearing happy, then Sesshoumaru-sama, then Kazuko appearing… 'disturbed'. Do you really think Sesshoumaru-sama would marry me? You're crazy, Sasshi. Goodnight, and don't show me that dream anymore!

September 6th I took my bandages off today! You can still see scabs where I was cut through, and scars of the smaller ones, but it's almost healed. I'm so happy I'm not bandaged anymore, though! It used to hurt to write a lot, but now I think I don't I feel anything in my arm! Wait, that's bad. Uhh, goodnight, Sasshi-chan.

September 13th Sesshoumaru-sama came and he gave me that almost-smile when he saw my arm without bandages! I told him about it still needed to heal more, and I might be scarred, but that's okay. We walked to the cliff, and watched the sun set together, and I got this weird feeling in my chest, like a tightening, and it got worse when I looked at Milord. I didn't understand why that happened, but when I hugged him before he left, he told me not to. I looked up at him, wondering why it hurt my chest when he said that… but he then told me didn't want me to get hurt again! Now I see, in case I touch his chest plate again! He's smart, Sasshi-chan. Haha, goodnight!

September 30th That girl Kazuko came early this year. I think I might be scared for my life, again. She's insane, Sasshi! She goes around setting things on fire, cutting down trees with this huge axe I've never seen her use before, and she bit a head off of another demon when he came into the meadow I was in finding last-minute herbs. I thanked her, but she said she did it because she was hungry. She ate the entire serpent demon. I hope she dies from the serpent's poison. Goodnight, Sasshi.

October 14th I told Lady Kagome and Lady Kaede about how insane that girl is. I told them she bit the head off a demon and would go around setting lesser demons on fire. They said she was 'patrolling' and only killed demons that posed a threat. She almost set Shippo on fire and was going to eat him! He's lucky I was there waiting for him to come back before Kazuko jumped out and got him. I hope she leaves soon. Goodnight.

October 30th Kazuko has been sleeping for the past few days, so I've had 'inner peace'. It's relaxing to not always see something on fire, in that weird shade. It's a bluish-purple, and if it wasn't deadly, it'd be really pretty! Well, goodnight!

November 10th The liar told me Sesshoumaru-sama was on a month-long trip and wouldn't visit me. I don't believe her, but it won't matter if he doesn't come or not, because he's done it before. I always get this weird tightening I my chest when he comes though, and I wish I knew why… maybe if he doesn't visit for awhile, it won't happen again. Well, goodnight.

November 20th Lady Kagome is crazy about me being love with somebody. She told me she read you Sasshi-chan, and said the tightening I felt was the same way for her and InuYasha. She just wants excuses to say I'm in love with Milord! I know I'm not, that's crazy. He's a taiyoukai, and he always talks about hating humans (except me, hopefully) but Lady Kagome said it's not about him, it's about my feelings. I'm starting to really not like her, Sasshi. Goodnight.

November 30th Hmm, there wasn't a visit from Lord Sesshoumaru this month. So, Kazuko wasn't lying I guess. Not that I didn't believe her, it just seemed weird that he'd be away the entire month. It was also scary, because that Kazuko set part of the forest on fire. She's a 'pyromaniac', InuYasha said. She's really creepy, Sasshi-chan. Goodnight.

December 12th When I return to the palace in the Western Lands, will Kazuko still be there? I hope not. I don't want to die in my sleep, Sasshi. Well, goodnight!

December 21st Sesshoumaru-sama visited today! It was nice of him to let me walk with him in the snow. It was really pretty, and whenever I said something, he would say something back most of the time. Usually, it would just be me talking a lot and he'd say something sometimes, but now it feels like a conversation. I'm really happy now, Sasshi! Goodnight!

December 31st Well… this year has been good, Sasshi. Well, besides my embarrassment and injuries, but they seem to always happen. In less than a month, I'll be counting down my last year here. It's kinda sad… but it's also good for me. It's 'surreal'. It's like it isn't happening, Sasshi… I'll miss you. But, we still have a few more months, so let's make the most of it! Okay, Goodnight, Sasshi-chan!

A/N: Tell me what you think. It was kind of hard to write the beginning… also, I think that for the last two years of this, I don't have any ideas. I have the years after outlined basically, but nothing within. If you'd like to see something more, like fluff, any idea or request you have, etc, please tell me! Rin is 16 at the end of this chapter (so old…) One more thing... Rin is Japanese. Japanese girls usually don't hit puberty for a long time (around 15) and I made the mistake of starting early, but it can still happen. But, a 70B is very close to a C, and that's slightly larger than normal, but not drastic. She's also 5'1" if you can't convert centimeters. I thought I should explain that, so... Thanks for reading :D
