Well everyone this is good bye! I'm not sure if I'll even be back or not but it all depends on my inspiration. I think I may have held this chapter longer than I thought I would but oh well. It's here and finished. I hope you all like it and remember to look for me again. Or you could just beg and beg me to keep writing but I doubt anyone but Travis will do that. (Tee Hee Hee just kidding) Remember to review.

Chapter 10

Rin awakes in her bed just like every morning to the screams of Jaken. He pounds and pounds on the door as Rin sits up slowly and looks about her room. It looks the same as always and the sun is already up. She smiles to herself and lightly touches her face. She steps out of bed and opens her closet. She takes out her finest kimono, strewn with light pink flowers blooming. Rin slowly dresses and ties the ribbon Sesshomaru gave her around her wrist as always.

Rin steps out of her room and bows to Jaken. For once Jaken's comments get stuck in his little mouth. He nods and follows her through the halls. Rin walks slowly so that Jaken can stay near her. She reaches Sesshomaru's dining hall. He turns slowly toward Rin in his seat. He stands and bows to her as usual. Rin takes a seat next to Sesshomaru rather than across from him. Sesshomaru looks up quickly to see her smiling at him already.

"My Lord" she laughs lightly and continues, "I think we have something to talk about."

"What is it Rin?" He says coolly.

"About my sleeping quarters of course!" She laughs again and grabs his hand. "You're the one from my dreams and you always have been." He breaks his stern look and smiles back at her. "At first I thought they were nothing more than dreams but they had to be." She looks upward. "I think I found strength in them even if they weren't real."

"I wanted you to say that more than anything else." Sesshomaru touches her face and she looks back at him. "I love you."

"Hai." She stands and leans down to face him smiling the whole time. "I love you too but I've got some place to be." She kisses his lips lightly and turns to leave. She runs out quickly.

Rin walks through the halls toward Blu's room. A light stream of smoke can be seen from the hall. The door is left open; Rin takes a seat in front of the burning incense. A piece of paper with 'I'm outside' scrawled on it is at the base of the incense. She stands again and walks through another set of sliding doors. Blu is seated with her feet dangling over the edge of the wooden rails surrounding her porch. Rin sits beside her looking out over the trees of the western lands.

"Pretty day huh?" Rin spoke lightly.

"Mm hm" The demoness mumbles out. "It's nice that you finally accepted to being Sesshomaru's mate."

"I'm so happy about that but I always thought he was never very interested in me." Blu turns to Rin.

"You know not all humans remember encounters with a demon. Unless they really believe it happened they'll just discard it as a simple dream." Blu turns back to the forest. "That being said you might want to check your shoulder. It may have become infected." Rin obeys and large scratch scars and five puncture scars can be seen on her shoulder.

"How did you know?"

"I watched the whole time. I was worried he may have gone too far." She looks off again into the distance. "He did it because he had never had strong emotions before. It made him irrational but he wouldn't have ever killed you. Sesshomaru has always loved you whether he could admit it or not."

"I think I knew vaguely that it wasn't a dream but it seemed so much easier. Then when he grabbed me I was scared but I knew that he couldn't control himself."

"Ahhh the young ones in love. Such a shame that this middle aged demon is left all alone again." Blu hugs her knees to her chest. "I think I should leave the castle."

"No you..." Rin turns in protest but is cut off.

"I think you don't need my help anymore. Plus I've been missing the road terribly." Rin sits quietly watching her. "I loved it here and I'll miss you and Sesshomaru." Blu stands and holds her hands to her hips and stands confidently. "Not to worry! I'll be back eventually to see your little half-breed whelps." Rin stands and glares.

"You've got a problem with me being human? Huh?" She grins evilly at Blu.

"Not at all but your children! The blood degradation is disgusting! It makes me sick just thinking about it!" Blu laughs loudly as Rin becomes angrier and angrier.

"Heh. You're gonna regret saying that." She glows with rage and punches Blu in the stomach.

"Ow! Rin hit me!!!!!" Blu starts sobbing out.

"Oh shut up will you?" Rin starts laughing loudly. She catches her breath again and sighs. "When are you leaving?"

"Soon enough I suppose. I may wait a bit to make sure everything goes right. Either way it doesn't really affect you all that much." They both stand looking over the trees again.

"It's a really nice way to end it all huh?" Blu says.

"What?"

"Oh nothing." She smiles happily to herself.
