Summary: Instead of Rin finding Sesshomaru when she was little, she found Naraku. Now don't go getting your panties in a twist, she doesn't stay with him. Instead she learns to fight and when she turns eighteen she escapes. Woohoo, Go Rin *Does birthday dance* it's your birthday it's you…hehe *sweat drop* Anyway she stumbles upon Inuyasha, or should I say he stumbles upon her, and joins up with him to help destroy Naraku and complete the shikon no tama. Sesshomaru meets up with them, and for some reason or another, *wink wink* he decides to join the quest too. Okay, on with the story,  

            Or not…

Hi everyone. This is my first fic and I'm kinda nervous. *sweat drop* I really wanted to write something about Rin and Sessamaru. I love that pairing. I also love Inuyasha and Kagome too, so if any of you readers are Kikyo fans I suggest you leave now. There are a couple things I want to mention before I get started. In this fic Kagome and Inuyasha have already mated. Yeah, like I said I am not a Kikyo and Inuyasha fan. Also, in this fic the title refers to Rin's heart, not Sesshomaru's. Yeah, she's a little OOC.   Well any way I'm so happy you decided to give my fic a shot so without any further delays, on with the story.

 Disclaimer: Okay, okay maybe one more delay, I do not and probably never will own Inuyasha. But hey, if any of you ever want any Christmas ideas that sure would be a nice little gift to find in my stocking.

Rin stumbled along the narrow path while struggling to see. Blood flowed down her face and into her eyes; causing her to trip and fall to the hard forest floor. She hissed in pain as the wound on her side reopened.

            "Damn Naraku!" she winced as she tried to sit up, "I will get my revenge, if it's the last thing I do, you will die!" She laid back down as she closed her eyes. It was no use, she couldn't move, she would just have to stay the night here and pray to god the youki didn't find her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_^;

Inuyasha ran through the woods trying to find the source of all the blood he had smelled on the wind, it was female and probably belonged to the someone the same age as Sango, if not older. He continued to run in the direction of the scent. Finally, after what seemed like hours he found what he was looking for. It was just as he suspected, a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She had long raven hair that went to the small of her back and pale skin. Her eyes, half opened, seemed to be a strange shade of green. She was covered in blood from multiple injures and looked as if she was on the brink of death. She winced and fell into unconsciousness as he lifted her on his back.  She had a thin build and was no trouble to lift. Inuyasha took off running to Kaede's as fast as he could, there was no telling how long the girl would last, and he had a great deal of questions to ask her, like why she smelled of Naraku's blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_^*

            Rin awoke to find herself in what appeared to be a small hut. She looked around the room trying to find her rescuer. Her eyes fell upon a woman who seemed to have seen many winters; she had on miko robes and an eye patch. She was also the first to speak.

            "Hello, I see ye are awake." She walked over to where Rin lay.

            "Where am I?" Rin's voice was barley above a whisper and Kaede had to lean close to hear her.

            "Ye are safe in my hut." Kaede began to dress Rin's wounds, "tell me child, how did ye get such wounds?" her face held great concentration as she carefully spread herbs onto Rin's injures. 

            "I was in a battle." Rin winced as Kaede wrapped bandage around a wound on her abdomen.

            "That I had already reasoned, with whom you did battle I am very interested to learn indeed." Kaede had finished tending to Rin's wounds and sat back in her original seat.

            "A demon." Rin growled; she really didn't want to talk about this. Kaede rolled her eye; this was getting nowhere fast, "May I inquire whom?" Rin sighed, so much for not talking about this, "One who goes by the name of Naraku." Kaede eyes widened, "And ye survived." She couldn't believe she was hearing this.

            Rin lie back down, "Yes, but unfortunately so did he. I would have succeeded in slaying him, had he not disappeared." To say Kaede was shocked was an understatement, oh no, she was damn right amazed. This petite young woman did what not even Inuyasha could do.

            Kaede abruptly stood, and wasting no time walked to the door. Before she left she turned to a now standing Rin, "There is a hot spring a little ways north, I suggest ye clean yourself and relax." And with that she was gone. Rin shrugged; at least she could clean all the dried blood off her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O_o

Sesshomaru rubbed the temples of his head; god Jakken could be so annoying.

            "Master Sesshomaru, is there something wrong, Master Sesshomaru, Master Sesshomaru?" The green toad began to grovel at his feet, "It's me isn't it, I'm so sorry master please forgive me. Oh I'm so sorry." He began to cry crocodile dears. Sesshomaru sighed, this was going to be one of those days, unless…

            "Jakken," his voice was smooth and cool, "find my brother, I wish to "discuss" a matter with him."

            Jakken immediately stood, "Yes my lord." And with that the toad was gone. Sesshomaru smirked; this was going to be fun.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_^

Naraku sat in the dark confine that was his home. He scowled as he thought back to his battle with Rin.          

            "That bitch." His anger exploded, "she will pay. Her freedom will be mine." He laughed at the idea of Rin in a cage. "Oh yes, you will be mine." He laughed again, "You wait and see, I will have you." He was so busy laughing that he failed to notice a pair of red eyes glowering at him in the dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_^

          "WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed as Kaede finish explaining what she knew, "You mean that…that… girl almost killed Naraku. No way I don't believe it; she's lying."

       "Inuyasha," Kagome objected, "why would she make something like that up?"

       Inuyasha went to speak but Miroku quickly cut him off, "It makes sense Inuyasha, you did say that she reeked of Naraku's blood, this would explain it."

       "Plus," Sango cut in, "she has a demon exterminator uniform on, she's probably from one of the other villages."

            "I wont believe it." Inuyasha said as he started to walk away, "there is no way in the seven hells that she could almost kill Naraku, it just ain't possible."

            Shippou bounced onto Inuyasha's head; "Your just mad cause a girl beat Naraku instead of you." Shippou screamed as Inuyasha through him off, "Go away you little rodent."  Shippou ran for cover behind his "mother", "Kagome, Inuyasha's being mean again." Kagome sighed, "Inuyasha be a little nicer, will you." She then turned her attention back to the little kitsune hiding behind her legs, "and you, don't go messing with fire and not expect to be burned." Shippou went to protest, but when he saw the stern look Kagome gave him he decided to just apologize to Inuyasha. "Sorry Inuyasha."

            Inuyasha just walked away, "Feh, whatever."

            Oh boy, Kagome thought, this is going to be a loooooong day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_~

Rin grimaced as she peeled of her clothes. The dry blood was making the clothing stick to her skin. She quickly threw on her bath kimono and walked in the direction of the springs. She shivered as a cool wind blew over her; after all, the only thing she had on was a bath kimono. They usually consisted of gauze like material, maybe a little thicker, and went to the mid thigh, so as one might guess they didn't keep one very warm. Rin got to the springs and quickly shed her kimono. She let out a pleasant sigh as the hot water made contacted with her cold dirty skin. As if it was magic, all the mud and dry blood disappeared revealing smooth pale skin. She dunked underwater and when she came back up all the grim and blood was gone and instead there was long silky ebony hair. She smiled at the feel of being clean again. She examined her wounds; thanks to her fast metabolism and the help of Kaede, they almost healed. Rin closed her eyes, content with just laying there. She was just about to fall asleep when the sound of something falling jolted her out of her daydreaming.

            "Who's there?" Rin asked jumping up out of the water and throwing her robes on. That's when she saw it; a small toad youki lying there watching her every move. Her eyes narrowed into a lethal glare. Oh he was going to die. Like a bolt of lighting Rin went from were she was standing to right next to the peeping tom.

            "You will die, toad." Rin picked up the small demon by the neck.

            "Master Sessamaru will save Jakken, you'll see, master will save me." The undersized youki cried. Rin responded by throwing him on the ground. She kicked him hard in the head causing him to slur when he next spoke, "Master Sessamaru w…" Rin cut him off by kicking his ribs, that's when a cold voice from behind spoke up, "Did someone call my name?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^_~

            Kagome sighed as she made her way to the tree Inuyasha was perched at. She really didn't what do this, she really didn't, but fate always had a way of screwing her over. So here she was, standing under the tree waiting to tell her mate one of the most important things of her, and probably his, life and he was brooding.

            "Inuyasha," Kagome's melodic voice broke the silence, "I really need to talk to you about something." She waited for a reply but when none came she let out a sigh, "please, its really important." This time she let the fear and urgency in her voice show.

            Inuyasha stiffened; he really didn't like the tone of voice his mate was using. Her voice was filled with a strange mixture of love, fear, and desperation. He jumped down and put his hands on Kagome's shoulders. "Kagome," Worry filled the hanyou's handsome face, " What's wrong, did something happen that I should know about." Kagome nodded, "Yes, Inuyasha, there is." Inuyasha's heart clenched, if anyone laid a hand on his Kagome all hell was going to break loose. "Inuyasha I'm," Kagome stopped as she picked up a familiar smell, ever since she had mated with Inuyasha's her sense's had been those of a half demon and now with her condition they had sharpened up even more. Inuyasha let out a growl as he too picked up on the scent, "Sessamaru," he muttered as he pulled out Tethsiaga. Kagome continued to try and scent out exactly where he was when her eyes widened as large as frying pans. "He's at the hot springs." She said urgency in her voice. "Soooo." Inuyasha said trying to pick up on what she was saying. As if suddenly figuring it out he slapped his hand to his forehead, "Shit." He said as he took off in the direction of springs, "Rin."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*-*

Rin spun around, only to come face to face with the most elegant demon she had ever seen. His long silky hair rolled down his back in waves of silver and his amber eye's were like nothing Rin had ever seen. She shook her head as if to clear her it, and grabbed for her weapon. She gasped when all she found was bare thigh. Shit Rin thought as she looked around for a weapon, why'd I have to leave my daggers and sword at the hut? That's when she saw the sword on the gorgeous demon's hip. She smirked as she realized she was going to win this battle. 

            "Prepare to die," She said as she lunged at Sesshomaru.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$_$

            Sesshomaru easily dodged the attack. He sighed inwardly as he realized she was probably an amateur when it came to fighting. He watched as she lunged again, and as before, he easily avoided the blow, or so he thought. He smirked as he realized he had her trapped.

            "Well, well, well, looks like you are unarmed and have no where to run." His voice was icy and sent shivers down Rin's spine. He smirked at her reaction to him.

            "Time for you to die." He said as he sprung forward, executing a deadly attack. Rin dodged the attack as if it were nothing.

            "Is that all you've got?" Now it was Rin's turn to jest as a look of pure shock made it's way on to the great lord's face.

            Impossible he thought as he prepared to attack, "It seems I've under estimated you." He said, voice full of pure shock, but it quickly disappeared behind a mask of ice, "It will not happen again."  He leapt forward ready to kill; when all of the sudden Rin ran under him. He looked at her in shock as he saw she had stolen his sword. Rin smiled at his state.

            "I see you assumed that you dodged my second attack. Well it seems you didn't since I was able to untie this lovely sword from your hip." Sesshomaru let out a growl. This girl was really annoying. Rin lunged forward and knocked Sesshomaru's feet from under him. Sesshomaru suppressed a gasp at her god-like speed. Rin straddled him.

            "Now, as I said before, prepare to die." She raised the sword high above her head and brought it down to make the finale blow.       

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@_@

            Well, that's it for the first chapter. I hoped you liked it. I'm hoping to get the second one out ASAP, but until then I really need you guys to review. I've convinced myself that if I get as much as one review, I'll write the second chapter, if not then I probably wont continue. *sigh* I really need you guys to review. Well anyway, I've gotta go. *Mumbles something about Damn teachers, and tons of homework. *

 Ja,
