Chapter 11: Her decision

Sesshomaru sat down on the top of the hill and gazed out towards the horizon. In the far distance he could barely make out his 'kingdom'. He looked down at his right arm to see the small microscopic scar. His thoughts wandered to what had occurred earlier that day…

FLASHBACK

Sesshomaru filled his nostrils with the scent of his surroundings, "He is for now. But that doesn't mean he won't be back." The dog-demon looked over to see Rin running towards him, "Are you all right?" he asked.

Rin reached his side and threw her arms around him, "I was so scared." She quietly admitted, "Are you all right?" she asked.

Sesshomaru, forgetting his brother was only a few feet away wrapped his arms around the young woman, "Of course I'm ok." He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead causing her blush.

Rin slowly pulled away, "InuYasha, come with me." She instructed as she led the two brothers into the hut.

Tamiko was carefully sorting out herbs that she had picked earlier that morning, "Ah, I take it the demon was destroyed?" she asked.

"Well, to be honest, no. The bastard vanished before we could finish it." InuYasha answered sitting down next to Kagome. Shippou was sitting in her lap.

Sesshomaru sat down on the other side of the hut and motioned for Rin to join him.

Rin obeyed and sat down next to the dog demon.

Sango was petting kilala and Miroku was staring at his right hand. It looked like he was just waiting for his wind-tunnel to appear again.

"Everyone, after much thought and loss of sleep last night, I have finally come to a decision…." Rin said.

That got everyone's attention, "You've made your decision already?" Tamiko asked, taking a seat.

Rin nodded, "Yes, and I know my decision is the right one. As you know I am a Tsuykone and as a Tsuykone, I have a small amount of demon blood in me. I wish to take that demon blood and use it to my advantage."

Sesshomaru looked down, "Are you saying you want to become a full demon? But do you know what type of demon blood you carry?"

Rin shook her head, "No I'm afraid not, but I think it's possibly wolf if I'm not mistaken. According to my brothers' our mom had an affair with a wolf demon but and was bitten by him. The wolf demon's blood soon started coursing in our mother's vains but she stayed human. About a year after I was born, with the mark."

"Wait was it the wolf demon Osamu?" InuYasha asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Rin responded,

InuYasha gave his brother a look, "You remember Osamu don't you Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru returned the look, "Yes, and I'm glad that father took care of him when he did."

Rin looked at the brother's utterly confused, "Wait what are you talking about? Sesshomaru, you told me your father died in a terrible fire after rescuing InuYasha and Izayoi."

Sesshomaru, looked away, "Well, I lied. Father was a live for nearly 100 years or so after that. But he made me promise not to reveal his secret."

InuYasha stood up, "But why?"

Sesshomaru looked up at his brother, "I made a vow and I couldn't break it. You know the code of the western lands InuYasha."

"Yeah, I know the code but ever since you banished me all those years ago, you I figured I no longer had to follow it." InuYasha responded.

"InuYasha sit!"

Crash!"

"Why in the world did you do that Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because you're getting off the subject. This is about Rin." Kagome explained.

"Thank you Kagome. Now, as I said before my decision is to become a full demon and I have made this decision because I am ready to take the plunge." She placed a hand on her stomach, "And if I am carrying Rinuko's child I'll be able to know a lot sooner."

Tamiko sighed, "I hope you made the right decision, Kagome give me the jewel and Sesshomaru give me your arm."

Sesshomaru looked at the priestess, "Why should I do that?"

Tamiko chuckled, "Because, we need the blood of a demon to activate the jewel." She took his arm, "Now, I want you to cut yourself, just enough so your blood hits the jewel."

Sesshomaru obeyed and used his nails to break his skin. The wound dripped with blood and the demon positioned the blood droplets over the jewel. The second the blood it the jewel it started glowing.

"Rin come over here." Tamiko intstructed. When Rin was at her side she told her to lay down in front of her which the young girl obeyed. Tamiko spoke a few words in a language that nobody understood and suddenly there was a flash of light that filled the entire hut. When the light died down there was no trace of the sacred jewel. But Rin was another story.

Sesshomaru looked down, "What happened?"

Tamiko placed a blanket over the now sleeping girl, "She is taking in the blood and the powers of the jewel. Rin has now become a demon priestess." She stood up, "Its best if we let her rest for a while. She is exhausted."

Sesshomaru only nodded, "Very well, when she does wake tell her I'll be taking a walk." With that he walked out of the hut.

InuYasha looked over at Kagome, "I'm worried about him Kagome. He's grown soft, too soft."

Kagome smiled and placed a kiss on her 'mate's (as InuYasha referred them) cheek, "Have you forgotten who we're talking about here?"

InuYasha smiled in return, "Yeah, I guess you're right."

END OF FLASHBACK

Sesshomaru slightly jumped at the sound of the leaves rustling, "Sesshomaru, I just came to tell you that Rin is awake if you want to see her." Miroku said who had Shippou sitting on his shoulder.

Sesshomaru stood up and followed the monk and Kitsune back towards the village. When he entered the hut he saw a girl with black hair standing before him. He knew this was Rin, and yet it wasn't. Her hair now and streaks of silver and on her forehead was a forest green 5 point star. Her eyes had changed from that dark brown to a deep crimson, "Rin?"

Rin smiled, "Hello Sesshomaru."
