"Wake up Sesshoumaru-sama", Rin cried holding his head. The Haruyami was so close now. Rin looked down at him. She laid down on top of him. "I have to protect him", she thought. Haruyami swooped down and. Sesshoumaru through Rin out of the way. He got up and with one hit with his toukeigine Haruyami lay the lifeless. He stood there breathing hard. "Are you ok", He asked Rin who was crying. She ran over to him and hugged him. "Thank you", she whispered. "For what", he said looking down in her eyes. "y-you gave me courage. I wasn't scared." He smiled and he ran his hand through her hair. "I'll always be there for you", he smiled. "lets go", he said as he took her hand. They walked together for awhile. "I wonder if things will be different between me and Sesshoumaru now", she thought. He looked up. "Of course they will", he said in a low voice. "huh", she gasped. "d-did he read my m- mind", she thought. They walked. "Things will be a lot different", Sesshoumaru thought.
