Chapter 11

"But I love you!! Please forgive me, I never wanted to be without you!!" Screams the beautiful midnight haired woman with hazelnut eyes. Both filled with tears as she ran into the mist chasing after the back of a tall slender individual with long silver hair, white fur pelt over the right shoulder, wearing white attire of a high sophisticated class stature. The male figure never turning around to allow her to catch up but instead disappeared. "Please… please Sesshomaru! Don't mate that demoness, I am the one who loves you!!" The figure of the beautiful woman falling to the floor, weeping and shattered over the loss of her demon love…

Rin woke with tears running down her cheeks again, "I wish I could stop crying everyday when I wake from my sleep." She stated in her mind. Sitting up, she scanned her surroundings, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Another dream about Lord Sesshomaru," a sad sigh escaped the young woman.

It has been nine months since that night when Rin left the Western Kingdom and started her new life without Lord Sesshomaru. After a long two week journey due to a terrible storm that didn't seem to desist, Rin and Au Un were left with no choice but to remain in a uniquely beautiful cave that bordered at the edge of the Western territory.

She located the large island of Yakushima from her memory of the stories Hanaa had told her over the three years of their close friendship. She was still correct about only small beasts living on the island, which made it easy for her to not be worried about any humans or demons.

She thought about her Lord every day but tried to keep herself busy so she would not be swallowed into deep despair. She discovered a large cave to live in that resides right outside the deepest part of the forest on Yakushima. It was located near a stream of flowing fresh drinking water and plenty of grass for the two headed dragon. The island was plentiful of varies fruit trees, berries and fish in the many streams that flow around the island.

On many nights, especially when the moon was in a shape that represents the birthmark on a beautifully familiar face, she would begin to sob until sleep temporarily took her from her sorrow. Pondering of what he could be doing at that moment and if he was doing well. She knew he was the most powerful of all demons, but still thought about his well being even after almost a year since her sudden departure… She loved him still.

Sesshomaru had become cold and distant just as he had before Rin came and changed his life. He felt weak and wanted to not be bothered by any business affairs or his mother. The absence of Rin bothered Sesshomaru in ways he had never dealt with as a powerful demon Lord; he felt like he has been defeated by a formidable foe.

In the months since her disappearance, Sesshomaru would go out on his patrols and search for her whereabouts asking about a midnight haired woman on a two headed dragon, but came upon no evidence of her. He checked his lands and searched for clues and her floral scent, anything that could give him a sense of direction.

He searched human villages in the East and forests in the North but time and again he came up with nothing. Her scent was gone and he was plagued by her words to him… "I am in love with you and will love you for the rest of my days.." The dog demon was determined to find her no matter how long it took. Rin is deserving of the truth about his mating being a lie and plot caused by his mother to rid her from his life.

9 months earlier…

"Jaken" a deep baritone voice called to the imp. "Yes, master."

"Rin has left the West and with the impression of my upcoming mating ceremony. Would you happen to know where Rin received such falsified information from?"

The demon imp began to sweat, drops to his knees in a deep bow, "please forgive me, milord. Lady Tsuyuki told me that I was to inform the human that she was to leave with Lord Takumaru to become a concubine." The imp swallowed but struggled caused by his frightfulness. "She.. Sh..sh..she told me it was your duty to mate with the Lady Mizu and produce a purebred heir. She..she told me that Rin being around your gr..gr..greatness was m..m..most inappropriate and n..n..needed to be g..gone from the West… I..I acted only out of duty, I swear on my life. I didn't believe that stupid human girl would run off like she did. For.. Forgive me master."

In that instant, the demon Lord's eyes turned red and fangs elongated, he growled and snarled. His demonic energy becoming unbearable due to the amount he was giving off. Jaken curled up covering the top of his head shaking from true fear. Just as soon as he knew his life had finally reached the end, nothing happened. Slowly he raises his head to peak to see his Lord standing over his small body ready to strike, but sees his Lord was gone. "Where did Lord Sesshomaru go?"

Lady Tsuyuki was sitting on her throne, reading a scroll sent to her from a carrier crow demon, when the doors to the room were blasted off into bits and pieces. The Lady was startled and then sees her son, fangs protruding and eyes red with purple slits for pupils.

"Son, what is the meaning of.."

"SILENCE WOMAN! Who gave you permission to interfere with my personal affairs?!" Sesshomaru holding everything back in his power to not leap and attack his own mother.

"Sesshomaru, it is time for you to find a life mate and produce an heir. That human is distracting you from your duties as…"

"I AM LORD OF THIS KINGDOM! Your time as ruler has passed. You will no longer interfere yourself in my personal affairs. Whom I choose to have around my presence is my right as Lord of this Palace, and you have no place of involvement. With that said, you will be leaving my Castle as of morning…"

"Son, you must be joking. That little human means that much that you want her here over your poor mother."

Sesshomaru said nothing, cold piercing gaze from eyes of fire. He meant what he said and he is finished dealing with his mother and her manipulative ways. She gives him the same piercing look and grins, "Son, I just hope that you know what you are doing, dealing with this human woman. You could have chosen someone with royal lineage at the very least due to your status. I can already see she is the one whom you choose as your life mate, then so be it, but remember you cannot undo what happens. Make your choices wisely." Those would be the last words spoken between mother and son for many years. The Lady of the Western lands was then relocated to her own small and private mansion twenty miles from Castle West. She was made sure to have the same pleasantries as she was given at the Western palace.
