---A few weeks after Naraku was killed---

"Okay I'm leaving now!" Rin called out grabbing her katana. "Fine." Was the only reply she got back. Smiling Rin opened up the front door and went and got into Sesshomaru's car.

After the fight with Naraku, Sango and Kagome had both offered to let Rin live with them. Rin however had already accepted Kagura's offer to live with her. That was Kagura's way of paying Rin back for helping her gain her freedom. Kagura now worked as a demon slayer.

Kagura wasn't very talkative or friendly but she was pleasant to live with. They both kept to themselves and lived like roomates in college. Even though Kagura had adopted Rin and was now her guardian she didn't boss Rin around or anything, she let Rin mostly do as she pleased.

Kagura had even allowed Rai and Kuri to live in the house with Rin. Rai had taken a liking to Kagura and he followed her around a lot when Rin wasn't around. When Rin was gone, Kuri would mostly sleep or join Rai in following Kagura around.

The two demons were a big help though when Kagura had to go slay demons. Rin had laughed when Kagura told her about the demons always following her around, Kagura had pretended that it was extremely annoying, but deep down Rin could tell she was glad for the company. Kagura was adjusting to her newfound freedom nicely.

Kohaku reunited with his sister lived with them for a few days. During that time Sango and Miroku went to visit Kouga and Ayame. Ayame had immediately liked Kohaku. Kohaku also liked the nice family. In the end he ended up moving in with Ayame and Kouga.

Another person Naraku had controlled was Kanna. The Albino girl was quiet and Kagura rarely saw her. Because she never spoke Naraku trusted her more than he trusted Kohaku and Kagura. When she heard that Naraku had been killed she had shown no emotion. The only thing she had done was get rid of the mirror she always carried around, she wouldn't need it anymore since she only sucked out people's souls when Naraku forced her to.

Everyone was doing really well, Rin however felt like she was back where she was before. Not completely since she didn't have to worry about Akemi anymore, but she still wanted to tell Sesshomaru her feelings but she had no idea how to do that.

"Where are we going?" Rin asked looking at Sesshomaru, "and why did you tell me to bring my katana?"

Sesshomaru replied without taking his eyes off of the road, "I know that you know how to slay demons already, but I'm finally going to give you lessons to help you get even better."

Rin's excitement grew she always wanted to have the lessons but Akemi hadn't allowed her to. Sesshomaru saw the 16 year old girl bouncing in her seat with excitement and laughed. She reminded him a lot of how she was when he had first rescued her.


Up until he met Rin he didn't like humans at all. Then for some reason just seeing her lifeless, small, body on the ground had changed his mind. He remembered his sword Tenseiga rattiling in it's case. The sword had been used once and only as an experiment bringing Jaken back to life.

Without knowing why he was doing this, he used the sword to bring the young child back to life. At first Rin had sat up unsure where she was, she must have remembered being attacked and killed by the demons because he eyes grew wide and watery.

Then Rin had realized she wasn't alone, she looked at Sesshomaru and realized that he was the one who had brought her back to life. Sesshomaru turned and began to walk away, he was trying to think of a good excuse to why he saved the girl instead of leaving her dead.

Seeing the person who rescued her leave Rin got up. Just before Sesshomaru turned the corner Rin threw herself at him and hugged his leg. Sesshomaru glanced down annoyed, looking into her eyes he forogot about being annoyed. Just that little hug had softened Sesshomaru's heart somewhat.

Unable to leave her alone where she would probably get attacked again he carried her to his car and drove to the police station where Inuyasha was still at work. Rin had fallen asleep on the short car ride so he picked her up and walked into the building and went to Inuyasha's office.

Inuyasha who had just gotten off the phone was clicking and typing stuff on his computer. When he looked up to see Sesshomaru with a little girl in his arms, Inuyasha's mouth dropped open.

Annoyed at Inuyasha's reaction Sesshomaru glared at him, "better close you mouth before flies get in." Inuyasha blushing slightly closed his mouth. "Why do you have a kid with you?"

Sesshomaru still hadn't thought of an answer for that so he said, "she's an orphan you should find her a nice home. Tell her when she wakes up that I'll visit soon."

Sesshomaru gently gave Rin to Inuyasha careful not to wake her up. That's when Inuyasha first noticed a slight change in Sesshomaru, he wasn't as mean to him as he usually acted. Without making any of the usual rude comments Sesshomaru quietly left. Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and shook his head wondering if he was dreaming.


Sesshomaru smiled at the familar memory, out of all his memories this one was his favorite.
