A/N: I think I just won the award for biggest idiot…I usually type out any ideas that come to me for future chapters underneath the one I'm busy with and then when I get to editing that chapter (e.g. chap 21) I'll copy the ideas onto a different document and delete them from chap 21 but I forgot to do that so yea…Anywho some of that has changed anyway so meh sorry again! It has now been edited out so if you are confused about all the junk that was at the end of the previous chapter just go back and read the proper ending…thanks.

Chapter 21:

(Vote – A wedding dress or kimono for Rin's wedding?)

Rin had awoken earlier than usual that morning and was now sneaking down the hall to Sesshomaru's room where she knew he to would be awake. She knocked quietly on the door before it was opened by her husband to be. He stared at her for a bit before giving her a peck on the lips and pulling her into the room.
"Rin? You know if you are found in my room this morning, rumors will spread"
"I do, and I apologize but I thought I should explain more about my past, as I am sure you have a few questions"
Sesshomaru nodded and gestured for her to have a seat. He noticed she was wearing a bathrobe which covered her arms and went down to her knees but was open revealing a skimpy silk night gowns that his sister in law had given to Rin for her birthday. It was a light pink and barely went up to mid thigh, after staring a bit longer he turned his attention to her face deciding it was safer that way at the moment.
"I'll start with how we separated and what happened after as I am sure those are the only parts you do not know, am I correct?"
"Yes"
"Okay…well from what I can piece together I was playing in the fields as usual except I strayed further than usual from Jaken noticing some pretty flower that I thought would please you. As I bent down to pick some of them a bull demon emerged from the forest and ran after me…I had probably gone into its territory, I am not sure but I tried to run. Eventually I tripped and fell down a cliff which led to a river and I can only guess that I was knocked unconscious and carried to the shores of Hikari's village. There Hikari found me and had adopted me as she could not have children of her own and her husband had recently passed away leaving her on her own. Although I did work as a slave for her she treated me well and was only ever interested in my well being. So I lived with her for nearly 13 years till you arrived as a guest to our Inn"
"So you remember everything?"
Rin nodded before standing getting ready to go back to her room before they were caught and rumors spread. Sesshomaru followed her to the door but before she could open it he had spun her to face him and let their lips meet in a fiery passion before parting.
"Do you not wish to hear what happened to me after you disappeared?"
Rin looked up at him surprised that he was willing to share information but nodded and sat beside him on the bed.
"When I returned I found Jaken asleep and you gone. I followed your trail but it didn't go very far leaving me with no clues as to your whereabouts. I went a bit crazy for awhile not liking the fact that I had lost a valued possession and went to search for you. Eventually after many years I gave up and decided I would have to forget about you and move on."
"I've been meaning to ask…what happened between you and InuYasha after I left and your arm…it's restored"
"I was to busy searching for you and my brother mated with his miko so I did not wish to separate the two or kill my nephews father. My arm was restored by Kagome after a few years of peace between my brother and I claiming she had to correct past mistakes"
Rin nodded and stood up getting ready to leave.
"Thank you, I better return now and prepare for today. I am visiting Aya to get my wedding outfit made. Oh and I have a surprise for you on our wedding day, which I am sure you'll be happy about as will the rest of your subjects"
Sesshomaru gave a slight nod before showing her out. Rin smile grew as she entered her room to prepare for the day that was to follow.

Hayate smirked as the pathetic servant of the great demon lord of the western land fell. He was Ayano's younger brother and had come seeking revenge, He was tall with short, messy red (not ginger, actual red) hair. He also had piercing red eyes and wore black. He snapped his fingers causing the body of the servant to burst into flames and turn into ashes in a matter of seconds with out damaging the surroundings. His clan was strong and could shape shift and manipulate fire to do as they wished. He took on the appearance of the servant before entering the kitchen of the castle in which he took the role of the nameless servant he had just killed, which was to serve the master his food and drink. He took the meal up to the lord's room but on the way slipped in a poison which could not be sensed by even the strongest demon and would kill in a matter of hours. He returned to the kitchen after delivering the meal and continued to act in place of the servant as he knew if a servant was to suddenly disappear suspicions would arise. He would vanish after the great lord fell.

Rin and the group returned from Aya's with the garment ready for the wedding. After placing the garment in her room she left her room but before she could even get past her door a servant ran up to her claiming the Lord was acting strangely and no one could make out what was wrong with him. Rin nodded before running down to her fiancé's room and finding him laying on the bed, pale and sweating.
"Sesshomaru?!"
"Rin…I"
"Don't talk…I'll fetch Kagome and she can…"
"Rin…I don't think I have much longer…just please sit with me"
Rin nodded before climbing up on the bed and sitting beside him, moving his head onto her lap. After about half an hour the lord fell into an eternal sleep. When Kagome ran in to find Rin bent over her lord and crying.
"Rin?!"
"He…he's gone"
"There was nothing we could have done"
"I won't let this be the end!"
Rin raised her tear stained face to stare Kagome in the eye before placing her lords head on the pillow and leaving the room. Kagome stared in shock as Rin disappeared from view and InuYasha entered.
"Is he…"
"Yea…Rin just left claiming she wouldn't let it end…I'm worried, what is she up to?"
"I don't know but we have to watch out for her now, she's lost both her love and the ability to have pups"
Kagome nodded before shutting the lord's eyes and following her husband back to their room. Rin ran back up the stairs with the item she had been searching for in her arms ignoring all the mourning servants. She approached the bedside before unsheathing the Tenseiga and hesitated slightly when she saw the demons covering her love's body but quickly got over it and killed them before it was to late. She felt the tears fall when nothing happened and her demon lord remained still but her eyes widened when her stirred and opened his eyes to see her bent over him with his sword by her side. Rin dropped the sword and embraced Sesshomaru and continued to cry.
"I thought I'd lost you but I remembered…you saved me the same way once"
Sesshomaru smiled slightly before falling asleep and after a while Rin did to, still clutching him in a tight embrace.

Rin woke to find Sesshomaru staring down at her quietly. He still appeared to be pale and weak.
"Sess…you're still ill"
"It will pass"
'I could heal him…although I can't let him know it was me…how to distract him?'
Rin smiled before bending over him and placing a hand over his heart as she kissed him. She wasn't sure how her powers worked but she just focused on ridding Sesshomaru of what ever was causing him harm and when she pulled away he appeared to have regained some colour.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better…my demon blood must be at work"
"Now hush and rest, our wedding is in 3 days and I will not have you sickly on our big day"
Sesshomaru slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep before Rin left to replace his Tenseiga and find the one responsible for her fiancé's death. She had sensed the poison in Sesshomaru's system and knew if she could find another with the same sent on him/her then she'd have her murderer. Rin searched the castle till she found herself in front of the servant's quarter's door. She felt her power surge through her fueled by her anger and before she knew it her demon blood had take control revealing her true form. She entered and smirked at the servant who was standing in the corner, the only one not mourning…she could smell it all over him that and the stench of that woman who had tried to take Sesshomaru from her last time.
"Servant, follow me, I have a request now that you no longer need to serve Sesshomaru"
"Of course milady"
Rin walked out the room to the gardens where the demon followed her. When they arrived she turned and faced the demon, still in her true form although there were few differences.
"You attempted to kill the lord of the western lands did you not?"
"Attempted? Ha, I think I succeeded"
"I'm afraid I was able to bring him back, he is currently resting but perfectly healthy"
"Then I'll have to finish the job next time, that is after destroy you"
"Try me"
Hayate summoned fire before sending it at the smiling demoness (Rin) but his smile faltered when she sent the fireball back at him causing him to dive to the side. He stood up again before smirking and summoning a tall ring of fire around his opponent. Rin smiled before levitating slightly and raising her arms in the air with her eyes closed. The demon stared at her curiously before he saw the clouds appear out of thin air and rain began to fall destroying his ring of fire and leaving him defense less.
"Demon, I will not kill you but you will not win against me, I control all elements including your fire, now leave before I change my mind!"
Hayate's eyes widened before he bowed and left, knowing he could not defeat her. Rin's feet touched the ground before she collapsed and Kagome rushed to her side.
"Rin! I saw the fire from my window, what happened?!"
"I don't know, but hat man…he's gone now?"
"Yes, he will not return"
Kagome smiled before supporting Rin as they went back indoors.

You'll get a full description of Rin's full form next chapter, but there's nothing different really so don't get excited.
