1Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but this idea is all mine!

Sesshoumaru walked along the wilds of Japan. Rin was slightly older now and he incident with Miroku was in the back of her mind. She happily hummed beside her most favorite person in the world.

They wandered around to the spot of where Rin's village used to be. Rin looked around at it all; barely recognizing the place she once called home.

"I hardly remember this place my lord," she commented. She walked over to where her hut had been. "I lived here when I found you my lord," she beamed up at him. She may not be eight but she was only ten. Still quite a child.

"Hn," was the only sound rin got to prove her lord had heard her. She didn't mind at all he didn't talk much. It would seem odd if he did.

"That demon started it all" she pointed to the bones of the demon Koga had killed to get his jewel shard back. Sesshoumaru looked at the bones with the same enthusiasm he looked at everything. Again, Rin didn't mind. She was with her lord and that was all that mattered to her.

Sesshoumaru and Rin continued on their walk around the wilds of Japan. During the short time Rin had been with Sesshoumaru, he had grown quite protective of her. The only way to get to Rin was through Sesshoumaru. Rin started singing as they walked until a man crossed their path. Immediately Rin ran behind her lord. The man seemed confused at this.

"Rin why do you hide behind this demon?" the man asked. The word demon was seething with hatred. Rin didn't answer but stayed hidden behind her lord.

"Rin, do you know this human?" Sesshoumaru asked. Rin only nodded behind the protective body of the demon lord.

"I am Rin's uncle," the man answered.

"If I had asked you, I would have sad so," Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes.

"My lord, he is my uncle," Rin meekly said.

"And you are coming with me! It pains me to see you with such company Rin," the uncle glared at Sesshoumaru.

"No! I stay with my lord!" Rin shouted, now standing out in the open.

"This demon has put a spell on you. Come now I will take you to the village priestess," the uncle stepped closer and RIn ran back behind her lord.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Don't let him take me!" Rin pleaded. Sesshoumaru looked at the man.

"I say this to you human. You may have Rin when you can take her from my cold dead hands," he actually sounded just a tad angry. This man had dared to come between him and his adopted daughter.

"Fair enough demon!" the uncle drew his sword and ran at Sesshoumaru; who caught the blade in his hand. A small trail of blood ran down his hand and arm.

"My lord!" Rin cried from the side. Sesshoumaru paid no heed to Rin as he sent the man flying backwards. The uncle wearily stood up and ran at Sesshoumaru who used his whip on him.

"Rin, close your eyes," Sesshoumaru ordered and Rin did so. The demon lord then showed the more terrible side of his anger and took it all out on the uncle who had dared to take Rin away.

When the man was dead he turned towards Rin, "you may open your eyes now." Rin did so and not once did she look at the bodies as she walked once more beside her demon lord and father.

"I am glad I still travel with you. I did not want to live with that bad man!" Rin looked angry for once.

"You do not need to do what you do not wish to," Sesshoumaru commented and kept walking.

More than once my lord and father as come to my rescue but this time was different. That was family. Family I wanted no part in Rin thought and smile dup at her lord now I can be with my lord forever

I know it's short but I had to give you patient people something!
