A/N: Another update finally. Please review.

Reunited

She froze, her whole body tuned to that gold-eyed, silver-haired demon standing in front of her. What was he doing here? Oh my gosh, he's here. Sesshomaru is here!

"Rin!" Sango suddenly shouted, interrupting Rin's mental tirade. Rin let herself stare for another moment, before turning and racing away to find her friends. She turned the corner and saw Sango and Miroku across the street. A couple feet away, in the courtyard, lay Kagome. The familiar looking demon approached Kagome, a menacing snarl twisting his face. Rin couldn't move as the demon picked her friend up and then took off.

She recovered. "Kagome!" Her muscles tensed, preparing to chase down that demon, when a hand rested upon her shoulder, halting her.

Rin turned around and found Sesshomaru behind her. "Why did you stop me, Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked, confused.

"My idiot of a brother won't harm the human," he told her. Brother? That explained their similar appearances.

She beamed and hugged Sesshomaru, accepting his word on his brother. "I missed you!" she exclaimed. "I studied hard and now I'm tons stronger, so I won't ever slow you down. So I can travel with you again, right? Right?"

His eyes remained impassive as he looked down on her, but she didn't care, elated at Sesshomaru's presence. "If that is what you wish," he said, stepping out of her embrace. Immposibley, her smile grew wider, and she nodded so hard, he thought her head would snap off.

"Rin!" Sango shouted again. "Duck!" Rin turned to see her friend racing towards her, getting ready to throw her boomerang at Sesshomaru. Miroku followed not far behind.

Sesshomaru ignored the threat of Sango and walked away.

Rin raced up to Sango, blocking her path to Sesshomaru.

"What are you doing, Rin?" Sango demanded. "Demons are evil."

The girl shook her head firmly. "Not Sesshomaru-sama!"

Sango looked at her weirdly, but dropped the issue. "We have to go find Kags. Now. The demon will definitely eat her soon."

Rin scrunched her nose at the thought of Sesshomaru-sama's brother eating Kagome. "Kagome will be fine. Sesshomaru-sama said his brother wouldn't hurt her."

"You trust what that demon said?" Sango asked incredulously.

"Yep!" Rin smiled. "He saved me." Surely, Sango would understand.

Sango shouldered her boomerang, trying to understand this new side of Rin. "Do you love him?" Loving a demon? Impossible, Sango thought, but whatever Rin said, Sango would support her. That was what friends did.

She nodded. "I love Sesshomaru-sama. And Kagome, and Miroku, and Sango." Then Rin became serious. "I know you're worried, Sango. But Sesshomaru-sama is my life. I've been waiting to see him again since the day I came to school. And don't worry, I'll see you around. He's a demon, and you're a demon hunter, after all." Sango and Rin hugged, before Rin darted off towards the forest.
