Rin had been with the family for 5 months now and she had been along her pregnancy very well. It looked like the baby would come any day now instead of in 4 more months. Everyone thought that is was because she was a demon that is was fast. Rin was happy though. She would get to see her child soon. She hadn't been much help lately but she always tried to help even when they thought she should just relax. They would always say for the sake of the baby please, just relax! During the day they worked in the fields then at night they would tell stories. Rin told most of them. Of all the things she had seen with Sesshomaru. It hurt her inside deeply to talk about her past with Sesshomaru but she saw Saraku's smile and couldn't stop telling the story. One night while they were telling stories Rin felt extremely sick, suddenly her water broke. Kinomi yelled "Get Rin to her room. She is going to have the baby soon Saraku. Then I want you to go with your father and get away from here" Saraku did as she was told and left.

It was only Rin and Kinomi in the room when the child was born and it wasn't done without a struggle. Rin felt like the child would never want to leave. She kept pushing and then finally the little baby came out with a great relief to Rin. It was a boy! A beautiful baby boy. Kinomi cleaned him off and gave him to his mother. Rin took him in her arms and smiled "Hello my child, you look so beautiful" The boy had gorgeous white hair. He had deep blue markings on the side of his face. They came from his pointed ears to right under his cheek bones. And right on his forehead was something that amazed Rin was a blue crescent moon with a single star in the middle. To top it all off he had his father's beautiful gold eyes. It almost made Rin cry how much they reminded her of Sesshomaru. She missed him so much but had to keep moving on with life. Seeing this child made her very happy, but she was extremely tired "Kinomi? Do you think you could get the crib beside my bed and let us sleep? I am extremely tired from this and I know the baby needs sleep as well" Kinomi smiled "Yes, just a minute you can hold onto the baby for a few moments more while I get the crib, but don't you think you want to name him before you sleep?"

"Yes, I should name him now. I will call you Hattori. My Hattori"

A snake demon named Setsuna was standing outside the Rin's window watching the little baby sleep. He had been there for 5 months waiting for the child to be born. The minute he saw what happened between Sesshomaru and Rin and everything he knew it would be his chance to kill Sesshomaru's heir. He despised Sesshomaru and wanted revenge and the best revenge he saw was killing his only son. "Now is my moment to kill the child" Setsuna changed into a snake and slipped into the room quietly. No one would be able to hear him kill the child. But he was sorely mistaken. When Setsuna was getting into the crib Rin caught him and her eyes had turned a deep blood red "What do you think you are doing fool? This is the stupidest thing anyone can do, don't you think? You better explain yourself in 5 minutes before I kill you"

"Every demon is this part of Japan will be after that child"

Rin growled "Why"

"He is the heir of the western lands. If his father ever died he would become the new ruler of the Western lands and if he was dead too. Then the land is free to rule by who ever gets there" Setsuna snickered "If you kill me there is no lost, many others will be after you and that child"

"I have had enough of your talking" Rin crushed the demon and threw him out the window. Then suddenly she fell. Her eyes were back to there normal color and they were full of tears "What am I going to do? I can't put these people in danger, I have to leave. Right now"

Rin moved through the house getting some provisions for her and the baby and then was about to leave when she heard someone move. It was Saraku, Rin went over to her "What are you doing up. You should go back to bed"

"Where are you going with the baby? Are you leaving us?"

"Just for a while, I have some demons after me and I don't want you to be in danger. Can you tell your mom and dad that when they wake up later too? I must leave now before anything bad happens to you" Saraku nodded and ran into the house.

Rin took one more look at her recent home for one more last time. She had to get away but she could only think of one place where she would be truly safe, to Lord Genbu and lady Nara's castle in the northern region.

Rin was walking very calmly with Hattori in her arms. She was very tired but continued walking. She was going to wait till she got to the biggest tree. It took her 2 hours before she could find a tree that satisfied her. She laid her stuff at the bottom of the tree and jumped up into the branches. Rin laid back and tried to sleep, but sleep didn't come easily for her. Every time she fell asleep she had dreams of Sesshomaru or of there death. The night was very restless for Rin.

Sunrise came not soon enough for Rin. When it was high in the sky Hattori stirred and started to cry "Shh, my darling. How about we feed you know" Rin jumped down and started to feed Hattori. It had been a pleasant journey so far for Rin and Hattori but she knew it wouldn't last long. They had a far journey in front of them on foot. Rin planned to run most of the way but she knew it would be a good few days still before she reached the castle. After they were both done eating Rin started running through the forest, but something was bothering her the whole time. She felt like she was being watched by someone. Rin was scared now. She couldn't do anything with Hattori in her arms. Rin looked around and then say a big tree. She jumped into the branches and started hiding Hattori in the bushes "Shh my child. You need to hide for a short while. I need you to be quiet for just a short while. I will be back" She took a step back and smiled at how good she hid Hattori. Then she jumped back down. When she looked up a bull demon was looking straight at her.

"Hello there, you must be Rin, the lady of the west"

"I am not of the west anymore, I am of no where"

"Well that means you are Rin none the less and your child is heir to Sesshomaru and he must die"

"You dare to touch my child, I will kill you first" Rin's eyes were starting to turn red.

"I must have that child!" The demon lunged itself at Rin. Rin quickly took out her sword and blocked the demon. She was pushed back a bit but still in place "Get away now!"

"Get out of the way or I will kill you" The demon slashed Rin right in the shoulder. Rin yelled "That hurt!" Blood was all over her shoulder and his claws now. But Rin still fought. They kept fighting and they got no where. They both had scrapes on them but nothing life threatening to them. They both had each other's blood on there sword too. Then suddenly something happened with Rin's claws. They were starting to drip pink acid. They seemed to be responding to Rin's anger. Rin dropped her sword and yelled "Leave, Now, I will spare you if you leave" The demon was getting scared but had to finish his mission. "Never!" he lunged himself at Rin again and this time Rin didn't block she hit the demon right in the shoulder and went right through his flesh. She pulled back "I will let you live just leave me and my child alone"

With that Rin jumped back up into the tree and got Hattori and leap through the trees away from the bull demon. The demon watched Rin leave and then got up. He closed his eyes and suddenly all his wounds were healthy again. He was a regenerator but could choose when he regenerated. "I am not giving up on you Rin. I will have your child's death at my hands. And I will keep close enough to you to see where you go. I will always have your blood on my hands so I know where you will always be too" The demon gave a little snicker then laughed a big hearty laugh "you can't get away from me!'

Sesshomaru had continued his search for Rin with no luck at all. He was very frustrated with all that had happened. Sesshomaru had had to go back to the castle 5 times for a few weeks at a time to make sure his land was in order and it didn't help that he hadn't told the other lords what had happened. He had to hide that he was alone again and he had to keep looking for Rin. He just wanted to find her and explain everything.

Suddenly Sesshomaru smelt something. It was blood. Rin's blood! Sesshomaru ran as fast as he could to find it. But when he stopped he found something sickening. It was another demon. A bull demon and he had blood all over him. His own blood and Rin's blood "Demon! What have you done" He didn't want an explanation. He only thought the worse. Rin and his child were dead now to him. All he could do was kill this demon. After the demon was dead for sure Sesshomaru fell down and calmed down. "I need to go talk to Lord Genbu. He will know what I should do now. But he needed time to clear his mind before so he started to walk away to the northern lands.
