PLEASE READ:

Ok guys, here's some sad news. After the last update of this story, I planned to spend some time to write out chapters for the story instead of just one chapter, then update it. Well, I got up to writing 9 chapters, all 6,000 words each, and already edited them out and got them spruced up to upload once a week for you peeps.

Haha. Can you guess what so magically happens? Yeah. My computer's hardrive crashed (again), and everything was lost. I didn't back it up, which was just about the most stupid thing I've ever done for a while. So I did get a new hardrive for this crap, but the thing died out. It PPPHHLLLTT. No fixing it. I got a new computer, which I am using right now. I really believe my story has a lot of potential for me to improve my writing skills, and I DO want to continue it. I loved writing it and getting feedback from you guys.

I am VERY sad that this had to happen. I really just didn't know what to do about it, and I hate to dissapoint all you guys who took the time to read it. I will be taking a break off of this story. I do not know for how long, or even if I'll start that new idea I was talking about (of course Sessh/Rin), but I'll figure something out. I really appreciate you guys, I love all of you who have read my story and enjoyed reading it, so I'm asking you to wait until I get things cleared up and start going back along with the story. What I will be writing out now will be quite different from the first copies. I WILL BE BACKING THIS SHIT UP THIS TIME.

I'm sorry, I truly am, and trust me I am heart-broken LOL. My sincerest apologies to all of you who have been waiting for the next update.

..

I want to thank all who have reviewed! :) I love you.

So, this is just going to be a filler, I guess, and it's going to be VERY short. I'm sorry.

The Concept of Life

11.

•••

Rin couldn't believe the increble-ness of today she was going through. Several weeks had passed since Sesshomaru had bought the mansion and moved Rin along with him. Everything was going fine those days, nothing evil interrupting them. Rin managed to loosen up around Sesshomaru, and he himself was more comfortable being around her. He even took her out to dinners every now and then, and when he'd go to work, he'd drop her off at Inutaisho's place to hang around with Inuyasha and Kagome. Those two were fun to be around with, so she never minded at all.
They'd take her out to shop, even thought she protested, and the movies were the main thing to do for the young adults.

In all, life was going great. The relationship between her and Sesshomaru was also doing well, and everyday she liked the demon more and more. The memory of that weird voice that spoke to her was now all but forgotten.

•••

Rin woke up early, of course alone in the bed, but still felt amazing. She didn't even know why! But, she knew for sure it was going to be great day for her. Rin quickly got dressed into a sweet white and yellow sundress and headed down for the stairs. She passed by several maids, which aknowledged her as she made her way. A huge, bright smile was awarded to each and every demon or human that greeted her. As Rin went down the stairs, she decided that she would be going out in the back for a while, maybe even amek a casual stroll down along in the private beach. That sounded fantastic!

It took her a while, but when she finally got to the first floor of the mansion, she almost ran out the back doors. Oh, how exciting this would be! Rin didn't even stop to think about taking some breakfast, or even having some orange juice, she was so thrilled. She loved being outdoors. It was such an amazing thing. Especially when there were flowers. Oh, how she loved flowers. They the sweetest, most innocent things to ever grace this earth, she believed. Rin rememebered when her mother would take her out when she was young, and play and run around with her in a field of flowers, when she was off of work. Such grand times, she would never forget those moments. She cherished them with her heart.

The back of Sesshomaru's mansion was enthralling. Everything was green and colorful and absolutly healthy. The forest that surrounded the house was magnificent, and Rin could hear cute little chirps of birds that were singing to each other.
The garden was also filled with life, flowers all around the area. A gigantic oak tree was to her right, which was taller than the mansion itself. The air hummed with life, and the wind whispered and tickled soft songs into Rin's ear.

This truly was a great day to walk around and enjoy mother nature. 'Amazing, absolutely amazing! I can't believe how lucky I am.' She thought.

Rin found the neat trail that led to the private beach. She would go walking around and explore the woods, but Sesshomaru firmly told her that there were security cameras and traps set up for anyone who dared enter his territory. Hence, she went to the beach instead. She didn't mind though, it was still a beautiful thing to experience.

As Rin neared the opening to the beach, she felt something brush over her shoulders and she swiftly turned around, only to find nothing there. She was about to head back, but thought agaisnt the idea as soon as she heard the splash of the waves on the beach shore. She just couldn't resist. Rin continued walking over to beach. 'It was probably nothing, anyways. Either it was just my imagination, or a leaf, or something. No other demon can get it here, it is just too heavily guarded. Nothing to worry about at all. If it was a bad thing, it would've hurt me by now.'

Rin finally reached the the beach, and gasped at what she saw. There was a magnificent sunrise, and the water gladly reflected it on its surface. It was too good to be true. She could make out a cove all the way at far left end of the beach, so she decided to walk halfway there, because to walk over there would take too much time.

After a bit of stolling, Rin decided to sit down on the slightly warm sand. Her fingers grabbed a bunch of the sand around her, enjoying the soft texture of it. She sighed. This was perfect.
Rin sat there for two wholer hours. She was daydreaming,not paying attention to anything around her, except for the soft crashes of the waves hitting the shore.

"Rin."

The girl turned around quickly, obviously surprised.

There, standing only a few feet away from her, was Sesshomaru, in a loose fitting grey button up shirt, and a pair of casual jeans. He looked so amazingly good in whatever he wore, she thought to the side.

"Oh! Sesshomaru! I didn't notice you there, you scared me!" Rin sort of cried out. All she got out of him was a "Hn". He watched her a bit longer before turning to look out into the ocean.
He stared out there for a bit, and just stayed there. "Do you enjoy this beach?", he asked her, all but casually.

"Of course! I love it out here, it has got to be the most beautiful thing ever! I'm really glad that its close to the house, too."

Moments of silence passed between the two, but Sesshomaru was the one to break it. "That's... good." Awkwardness soon followed, as neither Rin or Sesshomaru said anything to each other. The couple simply stared out into the gentle waters, enjoying it.
Rin knew that Sesshomaru was not the one for words, and it did sometimes grate on her nerves, but she realized that it was just because of who he was, and she accepted that fact.

"Sesshomaru?" Rin asked out a little nervously, for which Sesshomaru noticed. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and Rin saw this, and continued to speak. "Would you like to sit by me? The sand is nicely warmed, and it isn't dirty or anything. Just for a while, if you don't mind.."

Sesshomaru fully looked at the young human women, contemplating on what he should do. He gazed at her for a good minute or so, and finally made his way over to her. He sat down right by her, their shoulders almost touching. It was quite the romantic scene, if anyone asked.

Rin almost died with delight right then and there. He sat down by her! "So how was your day?" She blurted out all to excitedly. Sesshomaru was silent for a while before he answered, "Fine. Yours?"

"Oh, just great! I went her immedietly after I woke up. Isn't it just beautiful out here?"

Sesshomaru wondered at how the little human could be so excited over just being at a beach. Sure it was a sight to look at, but nothing THAT special. "Indeed." He simply answered. Rin's smile only seemed to widen more at his choice of words.

Another hour passed, with just the two of them sitting there side by side, not speaking. A new understanding was founded between the two at that moment, and they cherished it. Rin moved her tiny hand over Sesshomaru's bigger one, and that was how they stayed for the rest of the day, until Rin fell asleep on the demon's shoulder. It really was a good day.

Sesshomaru looked over at his human wondering why she'd fall asleep.

'Silly human, she needs to eat before she just goes to sleep.' Sesshomaru thought to himself before picking the girl up in his arms, bridal-style, and walked over to the path that led his house.

'She's going to be the death of me.'

Yeah. I know, that was short. Sorry. A lot more things were supposed to happen in this chapter, but alas, they are going to be in the next one. As I said, this is just the filler. But a review would be nice, eh? :D

There's going to be drama in the next chapter, so be ready for it. Oh no? Don't worry. Not to bad.
I realize that the relationship between these two was rushed, and I apologize, but I do hope you'll like the relationship. The events that just happened to this story wasn't all to great, and I've kind of lost inspiration. I'll finish it, for sure, but it will be shorter. I've had a few good ideas about a new story, but I don't know when I'm going to start writing it up.

I want to thank all of you once again for your time reading this, and I'm glad that you guys enjoy. Again, I don't know how long I'll put this story on hold, but never fear! I'll update. :)
Sorry for any typos in this chapter, ignore them. Review! I love criticism, it gives me the light to do things better! haha. I hope all you hang on with me, and stick with me for the rest of this story. Thanks again, kthxbai. ;]
