Sesshomaru was breathing difficulty and sweating all over. His wounds were bleeding and he was leaning against a big oak. He hadn't told it to Jaken, but he didn't have many hours left.
When Rin saw Sesshomaru, his injuries made her shout. He opened his eyes and saw her, unable to recognize the girl who ran to him looking very worried.
"Who..." He started, but couldn't continue because of the pain.
"I'm Rin." Rin answered. "It's ten years, but you are still the same as back then."
"My body won't age." He managed to answer.
"Are you in pain? I can bring you antidote." Rin said. "At least I hope so."
"Do you really know the antidote?" Jaken asked very hopefully.
"I think so. Grandma told me about the giant poison spiders long ago, and I think I remember what was the antidote." Rin answered and stood up.
"Should I come with you?" Jaken asked when Rin was about to leave.
She took a glance at Sesshomaru and answered: "No. Stay with him."
And so she left towards the river. Jaken looked after her and then towards the sky. It was only few hours until the sunset, and he sensed it was getting harder to breathe for Sesshomaru.
"Don't sorry Sesshomaru-sama. Rin will be back in no time." Jaken comforted.
"I'm not worried... about myself." He answered in pain.
After Rin had got separated from them two, Sesshomaru had tried to find her. Yet he couldn't have found her and he had lost the hope to get her back anymore. Though he was cold outside, inside him was beating warm and loving heart, which hated of losing a friend.
Jaken had been down after losing Rin too; after all they had been good friends and always doing things together. Even ten years hadn't made his hope fade away.
So passed an hour, and it seemed Sesshomaru could lost consciousness anytime. Jaken started to get very worried, until finally Rin came back with reeds in her hand.
"I hope this helps. If I remember right, these were the right antidote." Rin said.
She kneeled and put the reeds onto Sesshomaru's wounds. His skin was ice cold, and she was afraid that he wouldn't stand the pain for long. The poison was slowly and painfully taking effect.
"Oh no." Rin mumbled then. "Here's not enough."
"I will go with Aun and get more. It's faster." Jaken said. Rin nodded and he left.
Rin turned back towards Sesshomaru. "Don't give up yet. Hang on a little longer."
"You shouldn't have..." He started, but she out her finger onto his mouth.
"Save your strength. We won't let you die." She said.
Sesshomaru looked at her in pain. She was holding his hand tightly, like never wanting to let go.
'Could this be the same, curious and wild Rin I knew so many years ago?' He thought. 'She has changed so much from that time...'
Jaken came back when Sesshomaru had almost stopped breathing, and together with Rin he tended Sesshomaru's wounds and put the reeds on them. Then he fell asleep totally tired.
Rin was sitting next to Sesshomaru. His eyes were closed and he was sweating, but it seemed the pain had started to fade away. She stroked his snow-white hair and smiled to herself.
'He's so cute asleep. I'm glad I still had a chance to meet him.' She thought.
Sesshomaru moaned in pain and opened his eyes, making Rin take her hand off of his hair quickly and blush. And then she saw something she had never seen before: Sesshomaru was smiling.
"What are you..." She started totally confused and blushed even more.
"Nothing... I'm just glad to see you again." He answered faintly.
Rin smiled too. "Can I... can I travel with you and Jaken again."
"Sure." He answered and pulled her nearer.
Rin's lips touched Sesshomaru's lips and they fell into a romantic kiss. After being separated for so long they both had thrown away the hope to see each other again.
But now they were together again, together forever and ready for anything.
As u see I made Sesshomaru less cold than in the series. Hope it doesn't matter. xD
