Author's Note: Okay, now the fluff really starts!

Where they first met

(chapter 7)

Rin walked alone through the woods, looking for Sesshomaru. she knew there probably wasn't a lot of point to searching like this, her lord could be anywhere. Still, they had to look.

The group had split up earlier, so that they could cover more ground. Jaken had taken Ahun with him. Rin didn't mind being alone, except now there was no one to distract her from her thoughts. She was so worried.What if her lord was hurt? It was her fault he had left wasn't it? She could never forgive herself if anything had happened. But Lord Sesshomaru was a powerful demon, she thought. What could possibly have happened to him. Rin was sure she was just over-reacting.

It was then that Rin realized where she was. This was the place where she had first met Sesshomaru. She paused for a moment and sighed. Her lord Sesshomaru... Rin began to cry softly. She loved her lord... wait a minute, what! She loved her lord?

Rin began to cry harder. She guessed she did love Sesshomaru. But had she now lost him? Rin was so confused. She wiped away her tears and continued walking. Suddenly, the thick trees just seemed to give away and opened into a large clearing. There he was, laying on the ground looking just as he had when she first saw him. His eyes were shut and he looked peaceful, Rin decided. Almost too peaceful.

"Lord Sesshomaru..." Rin said softly. She walked over and sat beside him quietly. Without thinking about what she was doing, Rin lifted her hand and slowly stroked her lord's smooth cheek. Golden eyes opened and looked into hers.

Rin felt her eyes fill with familiar tears. "My lord..." she choked out. Sesshomaru brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. "Rin" he said gently. "Yes my lord?"

Sesshomaru just shook his head and closed his eyes. He pulled Rin into his arms and held her, breathing in her sweet scent. A tear ran down his cheek.
