Chapter one

This might just be a little hard to read. I wrote it from both Rin and Sesshomaru's point of views.

Disclaimer: Everyone should already know that "Inuyasha" and all of it's characters were created by Rumiko Takahashi, not me.

Sesshomaru had left a few hours ago and Rin was patiently waiting for him to return. She still sung the same song she always had when she was waiting for him to return to her. Rin was unusually happy today because today was her birthday, her sixteenth birthday, what girl wouldn't be happy? But she wondered...

Does Sesshomaru-sama know that today is my birthday? Will he get me a present? I hope so, it would be so nice of him but also so out of character... Sometimes I wish he was happier and more social.

She hated to admit that she would be happier if he was different, but it was the truth. She still always wondered why he had taken her in and taken care of her for all these years. Did he feel sorry for her, since she had to watch her mother and father get killed by thieves?

That was so long ago, I don't remember mother or father too well. I was so little when they died, all I remember clearly is being carried off by Sesshomaru-sama.

She ended her thoughts as a bright star shot across the night sky. Can a shooting star really grant a wish or is it only a myth? Rin wasn't sure but, she took her chances and made a wish; I wish Sesshomaru-sama could understand my feelings.

Sesshomaru had gotten into a fight with the wolf demon, Koga, that delayed his returning to Rin. After getting rid of the pesky wolf demon, he quickly ran through the forest's trees to get back to Rin. He could see the girl now, standing by the fire, she seemed to be in deep thought. Sesshomaru slowed down and walked slowly toward Rin, as not to scare her. The girl saw him standing behind her and quickly turned her gaze away from the night sky and toward him. She looked down to his hand as if she were looking for something.

She is looking for something... It's her birthday I know, is she expecting a present?

"Rin, what is it you are looking for?" Sesshomaru asked her.

Rin looked up at her lord and stuttered, "Nothing, I'm only looking... at the ground Sesshomaru-sama."

Sesshomaru looked down at the ground, "There is nothing on the ground Rin."

Rin had to end this conversation, she noticed a deep gash on Sesshomaru's chest, "Are you okay?" she asked simply, pointing to the wound.

"Fine, I'm fine" the demon answered, putting his hand over his wound.

I don't understand why but, I have to get her a present. I have to get her something now.

Sesshomaru spoke up again, "Rin, I'm going to be leaving again now."

"Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said as she looked up worriedly, "please don't get hurt..." She couldn't hold it back, she leaned close to him and gave him just a light kiss on the cheek.

At that, Sesshomaru quickly took his leave back through the forest to go and find Rin the birthday present that she seemed to be looking for just a moment ago.

Rin sat down on a cut tree stump and tried to sort out her thoughts. Is it because of me, did he leave because of me? I hope not, I can't help it, I can't control my feelings... I love him. She threw her hand over her mouth quickly, had she just thought that?

Do I love him? I don't know, what could he possibly think about me now after my actions just now? I hope he doesn't think of me as a nuisance, only as something getting in his way. She couldn't think about this any longer, he had known her much too long of a time to still be judging her.

Rin went about her everyday things, feeding the fire, drawing, feeding Ah-Un, until the wind picked up. This was no regular wind, Rin could feel it, Naraku was somewhere close. She looked at her surroundings closer, where ever Naraku was he was camouflaging himself well. Rin continued working on her drawing, maybe she was just being paranoid.

Not ten seconds after she sat back down did she find a large hand over her mouth, another around her waist and Naraku behind her. Nearly too afraid to speak up, Rin struggled to get out of the man's grasp.

"Let me go, now!" Rin screamed as she continued to struggle. She kicked and screamed but, all she managed was ripping out a few strands of his hair.

"Are you trying to harm me?" Naraku chuckled, "You aren't going to call for your dear Sesshomaru?"

Rin screamed again, hoping for Sesshomaru to hear, "Let me go! Sesshomaru-sama help!"

The wind was blowing too hard, it wouldn't carry her voice. She soon found herself being picked up by Naraku and flying away in a dark cloud of miasma. Rin felt consciousness slipping away from her, the miasma was too much for her, she passed out in Naraku's arms.

Sesshomaru was still looking, looking for something that Rin would like as a present. He found a necklace with a black onyx pendant in the center hanging from a tree limb. Whether it belonged to anyone or not wasn't an issue to him, it would make a good present for Rin. He took off back into the forest with necklace in hand to get back to Rin.

"Rin, come here." Sesshomaru said as he came to the opening in the trees where he had left Rin.

After getting no answer he called again, "Rin?" And again no answer.

She's gone... Rin is gone.

Sesshomaru searched around desperately for any sign of what may have happened to her. All he found were two strands of long, black hair. According to the scent of that hair, he knew that Naraku had taken Rin.

Why didn't she scream for me? That bastard has Rin now... I have to get her back.

He looked down at the necklace he held in his hand, the one that was going to be given to Rin, and promised...

Rin will get her present... she will.

Okay, that wasn't a very long chapter. But I'm waiting for reveiws, please review everyone.
