Disclaimer: This is the last chapter, this story's met its end, but I still don't own Inuyasha, I think this is becoming a trend

Me: hola reviewers! Welcome to the last chapter! I had to post something before I went to Europe this summer, so all those who follow me, I won't be posting for a few weeks.

Sabbi: she's going to the tower of London...

Corey: kick the pigeons!

Me:...well anyways, now for the long awaited Chapter!

The cool crisp air flew in Sesshomaru's face as he patrolled the land. Early morning had its perks. The boundless giddiness of the teenager combined with cramps had worn her out, and she was sleeping soundly next to Ah and Un; Jaken was also snoozing alongside a tree, which left time for the demon lord to be alone to think. As the white haired demon came to a gentle slop, he sat down to relax. It had been a stressful week and Rin had not been her usual self. She had been irritable and didn't have the same enthusiasm in things as she did before. Sesshomaru looked out to a village a few miles away and his thought process for the day began. They would need to go to the village and get some food for Rin. Then terrorize the village. Then wander a few more miles. Then find a place to sleep. The end. 'Why must I deal with these tedious endurances?' he thought silently to himself. The melted dew from the grass wafted into the air mixing with another gentle breeze. 'At least the bleeding is over.' Thought Sesshomaru as he lifted himself up and made his way to camp.

He hadn't traveled far when he spotted Rin sitting on a nearby stump waiting for him to return. He listened quietly to the song she had made up when she was a child. Even then she had yearned for him to be near.

"Nama no naka
Mori no naka
Kaze no naka
Yume no naka
Sesshomaru-sama doko ni iru
Jaken-sama wo shita naete
Watashi wa hitori de machimashou
Sesshomaru-sama omodori wo!" she sang with heart filled content. (A/n: translation of song at bottom)

The demon lord subconsciously wondered when her voice had become so beautiful when the teen noticed her master's presence.

"Konnichi wa Sesshomaru-sama!" she said standing upright. A large smile filled her face as she awaited him, "Rin was just waiting for Sesshomaru- sama to return!"

She was still wearing the damn dress. Sesshomaru cursed himself for looking but couldn't help his male instincts sneaking sly glances (A/n: We all know those, don't we ladies?). The dress was prone to wear and tear, but it still held its elegance, still shone when the owner smiled.

The demon lord couldn't ignore it any longer, couldn't put it off. The little girl he had rescued was no longer a girl, but while he had never noticed until now, had grown into a fine young woman. Also, if he was correct, she was at marring age. Sixteen years of a female walking on the earth made her eligible to catch a young mans eye. The inu-youkai was surprised to find himself growling at the thought of his Rin being with another man. His Rin. His. But there was only one way to make that possible. Sesshomaru struggled to not smile as the thought came to him, but he quickly pushed it out of his mind. It would ruin his whole demonic demeanor. It would kill his reputation of being cold-hearted. Not to mention his hanyou brother having a good laugh at him. He would be laughed at by the other lords of the lands. A mere human couldn't be his mate. Not no way, not no how. But as his eyes wandered to the teen once again, he knew it was a possibility. And it was staring at him in a beautiful dress looking at him curiously.
Rin glanced up at the troubled demon. His face was perplexing, and she walked up to her lord extremely confused. There was an emotion there she had not seen before. It was one that she had seen occasionally when her lord's brother looked at the miko. 'What is this feeling?' she thought feeling herself blush. It had always been in there, this strange emotion, but it had never completely surfaced. She turned away at the thought. 'No, no, no. It could never happen.' She thought discouragingly. Maybe in her fantasy, maybe in her dreams, but it would never happen. Rin went to look towards her lord again, when she noticed he was already a good distance away. With the raising of her voice she pranced along after the only true male in her life.

"My lord, where are we to head off to today?" asked Jaken scurrying alongside Sesshomaru.

"I told you Jaken," answered Sesshomaru with a voice that was his trademark, "You are going to feed Rin, I will come to get you, then patrol a few more miles."

"Hai. Hai my lord."

"And Jaken..."

"Hai, my lord?"

"You know what happens if something happens to her."

Jaken shivered at the thought, "Hai, my lord." With Sesshomaru gone, Jaken immediately joined Rin into the village.

-------------

"Rin wants miso!"

"Alright you little brat, you can have miso." growled Jaken getting on line for miso soup, "Why must Sesshomaru-sama torture me with this child?"

Rin merely stuck her tongue out at him as she ran to get a table for them. Unknown to her, she had gotten the attention of the entire male gender sitting in the area. Humming a song she was making over the past few days, she was greeted by a group of these young men with deceiving objectives.

"Hello there." greeted one of the three men, "My name is Hideki." The man that spoke was at least a foot taller than Rin, with dark brown eyes and windswept black hair. Hideki pointed to his other two companions. "And those two are Horoto and Yamcha." Both of his friends had the same mischievous look in their eyes and towered above Rin with muscles toned and faces unshaven. "What's your name?"

Rin looked up at the men and smiled.

"Rin's name is Rin."

The men smiled at her naïvety. They found the perfect victim.

"Hello there Rin." said Hideki with a false warm smile, "We wanted to know if you want to play a game with us."

Rin smiled with happiness, "Sure, Rin loves to play games. Will Rin like this game?"

"Oh yes," said Yamcha coping Hideki's led, "It's a lot of...fun."

"Rin likes fun." Rin said still smiling, "When can we play the game?"

"Let's go play it right now." Yamcha suggested with a slick grin, "We have to go to a special place so we should leave right now."

"But Rin is still waiting for Jaken-sama to come back with food for Rin."

"Aw...I guess you can't play. And I thought you wanted to." replied Horoto with an almost too disappointed tone of voice.

Rin looked at the retreating figures. She didn't want to let them down. When she was a child, Jaken sometimes let her play with the children. But in the last few years, Jaken had never permit it, and she longed for the laughter and fun that she had playing with the other village kids. She leapt up from her chair and called to them. She would be back soon, and even though Jaken-sama would throw a fit, at the moment she didn't care. All she wanted was to be with her own kind. But this would prove as a fatal mistake.

------------

Sesshomaru strode his way into the village, the people making a path for him. It always amazed him how fearful the people were of him. 'It must be an instinct of human kind.' thought the demon lord, 'but Rin was never afraid of me...' He remembered back to when the little girl had come to tend to him. How she had made pointless attempts to bring help him get better. Just as his mind was about to drift back in time once again, he was brought abruptly out of his reminiscing with an annoying tug at his pants leg. He stopped walking and glanced down to see the extremely worried Jaken struggling to get his attention. "What is it Jaken?" asked Sesshomaru his voice completely opposite of the frog demons peril. Jaken bowed to the ground as he struggled to tell his lord the day's events.

"My lord, please forgive me. I was careless and inattentive and I don't deserve t-"

"Jaken," Sesshomaru said annoyed that he had done something foolish again, but never showing it in his monotone, "What have you done this time? And where is Rin?"

"My lord, Rin was taken away by a group of men while I was getting Rin food!"

Sesshomaru looked down at Jaken. When he spoke it hide all of his inner rage, all of his ferocity, when he spoke, it was in his usual voice, "Jaken I will deal with your disobedience later, right now I must retrieve Rin." Jaken bowed low as his lord stepped passed him, then kicking him in the rear sending him flying into the setting sun. But as the howling-in-pain Jaken skyrocketed into the swirling colors above him, he had a glance back at his master. His eyes where flickering red and blue.

---------------

'Where are you Rin?' thought the demon lord as he sniffed the air. All of his senses where alert, all focused to finding the girl that had charmed her way into his heart against his greatest defenses. It was dark now, but he didn't need the light to find her. He was a great demon lord, pure youkai blood rushing through him, he could find her. A blood curling scream ripped through the night air and he turned to where he heard it. He could smell her now, and he could sense her terror.

---------------

Rin was thrown to the ground. Sesshomaru had warned her of this happening when she was little, but she had not thought of his words until now. And now it was too late. Her beautiful dress had been ripped off of her, so now the only thing remotely covering her was the underwear Kagome had given her. The man Hideki had pinned her arms with his knees, the other man Horoto pinned her legs.

"Hurry up Yamcha," complained Horoto struggling to keep Rin from kicking him in the face, "This girl is a fighter, and I bet someone heard her scream."

Yamcha nodded toward his friends as he began to undo his pants, "Make sure you got her mouth Hideki."

Hideki nodded as he kept a hand over her mouth despite her attempts to bite him.

Yamcha made his way down to the panicking girl as he began to grope her naked body.

"You are a beautiful specimen of your kind." complimented Yamcha as he positioned himself over her, "I promise you, I'll enjoy this." Tears began to fill the teenager's eyes as she felt hands violate her body. No one had ever touched her like this, and though it sent sparks through her virginal body, she hated every second. She tried with all her might to get out from underneath the men until she heard it.

She recognized it from only a few times before when she was kidnapped by Kohaku, and most recently, when a fox demon had tried to kill her when she was picking flowers, but she knew this much from it: Sesshomaru-sama only roared like this when he was extremely mad. Through tear blurred eyes she tried to lift her head to see her master. But all she could see was darkness. The men paused in their antics as they also heard the snarling of a rabid animal. They looked through the darkness to find the culprit of the sound, but they needn't look. The owner of this sound of absolute rage was coming to them, and he was pissed. Through the darkness of the alley way that they tried to subdue Rin, came the sound of footsteps. A pair of crimson eyes, with blue pupils appeared. It was then that the light of the men's lanterns showed them the youkai's face.

His fangs had grow, his nails had extended and sharpened, and the wild look in his eyes showed them that he was pissed. They immediately released Rin who took this opportunity to rush to her lord, who ushered her behind his back. He removed his hoari (something he hated doing) and handed it to Rin and ordered her to put it on. Rin hastened to follow his orders and also complied when he told her to look away and cover her ears.

"You dare try to defile what's mine. You have earned the punishment of my claws." He growled as his usual clam voice was abandoned, "Die you pitiful humans."

----------------

Sesshomaru carried Rin back to where they had set camp the night before. Her trembling had stopped long ago in his arms, and was now looking at him with a calm expression.

"I presume you're alright?" asked Sesshomaru back to his normal self.

She nodded and gave a weak smile, "Hai. Arigatou Sesshomaru-sama." She snuggled deeper into his arms and dozed off into sleep.

Sesshomaru looked down at Rin, the child whose devotion had given him a new respect for human kind. He had to do it; he would not allow this woman to be hurt again.

------------------

Jaken had not showed up the next day, probably putting off his punishment. But the white haired youkai didn't mind at all as he watch Rin sleep. He listened to the rhythm of her breathing, took in her wonderful scent. And soon Sesshomaru fell victim to the dropping of his eyelids.

When the demon lord awoke it was to a gentle singing. Curious as to who had such a beautiful voice, he stirred, cause the singing to seize.

"Rin, was that you?" he asked, still half-asleep.

"Hai Sesshomaru-sama." bowed Rin. His haori was wrapped like a dress around the teenager.

"Sing it louder so I can hear." asked Sesshomaru propping himself up against the tree.

"Hai Sesshomaru-sama." She responded blushing furiously, "It's something I've made up over the past few years."

Sesshomaru looked at her curiously as she began the song.

"There's a song that inside of my soul. It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again. I'm awake in the infinite cold, but you sing to me over and over and over again. So I lay my head back down, and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours. I know now you're my only hope." Rin began to dance to some unheard melody.

"Sing to me the song of the stars. Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again. When it feels like my dreams so far, sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again."

'Whose is she singing about?' thought the demon lord perceptively. The girl continued to dance for him, his haori twirling in the night sky.

"So I lay my head back down, and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours. I know now you're my only hope."

Rin continued to sing, this time looking straight at the youkai, eyes full of a mixture of emotions.

"I give you my destiny. I'm giving you all of me. I want your symphony. Singing in all that I am. At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back."

'She's singing about me.' thought the awestruck inu-youkai. But no expression would flicker across his face, despite his thoughts.

"So I lay my head back down, and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I know now you're my only hope."

Rin finished her song, tears forming in her eyes. She had just sung about what she couldn't say. What was true in every way. Her lord, now wide awake, motioned for her to come nearer to him, his face expressionless.

"Rin, is what you sing of true?" he demanded.

"Hai, my lord." She glanced down in embarrassment, and was surprised to feel a gentle touch lift her head up.

Sesshomaru was smiling as he pulled her closer to him, his lips brushing against hers, only parting once to say a phrase that made all of Rin's dreams come true, "You will truly make the perfect lady of the western lands."

In the mountain.

In the forest.

In the wind.

In a Dream.

I will wait alone until you come.
