I don't own InuYasha.

Once again it is a short chapter. I'm So SORRY! Enjoy! and thanks to those who took the time to review.

Sesshomaru had just finished preparing Rin's gift, a new outfit for her first week of training in martial arts. It looked similar to the demon slayer outfit that one of the humans that traveled with his half-breed brother wore, only smaller and instead of pink, it was purple, like his markings.

He knew that eventually he would have to give the young girl up and let her return to the humans, but for now she was his little girl.

It was strange to think that in such a short time he would have grown so attached to the human child, considering his dislike of them, but for some reason Rin had crawled her way into his frozen heart and remained there.

He was nearing the spot where he left Jaken and Rin when he heard a scream echo throughout the area.

"Lord Sesshomaru," yelled the voice. It didn't take Sesshomaru too long to realize that the voice belonged to his Rin and she sounded like she needed help.

He was there within three seconds and was shocked at what he found, even though he didn't show it.

Jaken was against a tree, obviously knocked unconscious, while Rin was sitting on the ground next to one dead bear demon and one bloody half-demon, whose head was resting in Rin's tiny lap. Rin was running her tiny hand through the half-demon's silver hair and sniffling.

Rin looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"Lord Sesshomaru, please help her," Rin said in a pleading voice. Sesshomaru knelt down next to Rin and looked at the unconscious half-demon.

She was beautiful, no doubt about that, with cat ears and oval shaped eyes. Her hair was long and silver with black streaks that were nearly invisible thanks to the large amount of blood in her hair. She was heavily injured, and bleeding from the massive wounds on her body. If she didn't get help soon, she would die. It was obvious that she fought with her life.

Sesshomaru looked at the unconscious Jaken and then at the crying Rin. The young girl was begging with her eyes as she looked up into his golden orbs. Her tears helped him to make the final decision.

He sighed and picked the half-demon up. There was no way he was going to deny Rin the thing she wanted on the day of her birth.

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru," Rin said standing wiping the tears away from her eyes. Sesshomaru said nothing, just held the half-demon over one shoulder with his lone arm holding her in place.

He called Ah-Un and the four of them were off to the Western Palace, Sesshomaru's home.

Along the way, Sesshomaru took the opportunity to study the strange half-demon Rin insisted be saved. She looked similar to Rin in several ways, like her nose and face shape. She did have many differences, like being a half-demon, to suggest that she and Rin were nothing alike. The half-demon also had some scars on her arms from her travels and meeting up with other demons, he supposed.

Why would this half-breed come to Rin's aid? It was a mystery to him. He supposed it was the human in her that did it, because he could come up with no other explanation.

Thinking about how his half-breed brother preferred humans to demons, it isn't all that strange that another half-demon would do the same.

Rin was sitting silently on the beast next to him watching the half-demon with some hope in her eyes. She really wanted this half-demon to live, and not just to thank her for saving her life.

"Rin," Sesshomaru said in his usual dominating voice, "How do you know this half-breed?"

Rin looked up with surprise; apparently she was thinking when he asked her the question, and straight into his eyes before returning her gaze to the half-demon in his arm.

"She's my sister," Rin said with some hope in her voice. "I didn't know she was still alive or even around. It's a miracle."

Sesshomaru was surprised, although he didn't show it. Rin had a half-sister who was also a half-demon? How interesting.

That would explain why she didn't so afraid of him in the woods when they first met, and why she was so kind to him. She understood in some way that demons and humans could get along and be friendly towards each other. However, the creation of half-demons like his brother and the one in his arm proved that they could get too friendly.

There wasn't much he could do at that point except nod and continue on back to his fortress with yet another person to add to his ever-growing travel group.
