(A/n): And now, let's check out Sesshoumaru's POV! (My gosh is his name ever LONG!)

Chapter Two: My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here…
Suppressed by all my childish fears…
And if you have to leave-
I wish that you would just leave!
'Cause your presence still lingers here…
And it won't leave me alone!
Sesshoumaru wandered the plain aimlessly. Naraku was long dead. Kagura was gone. And now Rin, too…?
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
He'd searched forever… But there was no trace of her anywhere. For months he'd searched, but it was all in vain.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears!
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears!
And I held your hand through all of these years!
But you still have…
All of me…
Sesshoumaru smiled slightly, memories coming back. She had always followed him… Like nobody else. Jaken wanted his approval… Rin merely wanted his company. She would have stayed with him to the end…
You used to captivate me…
By your resonating light…
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind…
Your face it haunts…
My once pleasant dreams!
Your voice it chased away…
All the sanity in me!
Suddenly, Sesshoumaru stiffened. That scent… But it couldn't be. She had been gone for months, taken by a mere demon.
These wounds won't seem to heal!
This pain is just too real!
There's just too much that time cannot erase!
Anger flared up unexpectedly, and Sesshoumaru ran after the scent in a blind madness, he had saved her before, so many times! He could do it… just once more…
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears!
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears!
And I held your hand through all of these years!
But you still have…
All of me!
An unexpected illusion passed before his eyes, causing him to halt and go back. There, in between those trees! "…Rin?" Sesshoumaru dared to whisper, lest he break the spell that held him in silence.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone!
But though you're still with me…
I've been alone all along!
And then it was gone. Sesshoumaru ran to Rin, his Rin, all he had left… He drew his sword and killed the hungry wolf demon hovering above her, kneeling next to her.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears!
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears!
And I held your hand through all of these years!
But you still have…
All of me!
"Rin…" He whispered once more, drawing her close to himself, she was so small, so fragile… And he couldn't save her…
Nooo! Not RIN!
Holy crap is Sesshy OOC. Or maybe not. Maybe that's just what Rin does to him? O.o
