Sesshomaru walked gracefully out of the dense forest in the western lands, He was searching for Rin. The human girl he had saved all those years ago had now grown into a beautiful young adult, by the age of sixteen. They say most little girls want to marry their fathers, or in Rin's case father figures, the young teen had admitted to having more then just family affections for the great dog demon. Sesshomaru had been so shocked by the confession he did not answer her, in fact he said nothing at all, fearing that she said something she should not have or that her lord did not feel the same and felt her confession silly, Rin ran away.
Hearing crying, Sesshomaru halted and followed the sound, much to his surprise he found his half demon younger brother sobbing over the body of the human girl Kagome. And underneath her lay the cold lifeless body of Rin. Calmly he walked up to his younger brother "Why do you weep, InuYasha?" he asked smoothly "S-Sesshomaru!" InuYasha gasped and whirled around unleashing the Tetsusaiga "What in hell do you want!" he growled defensibly "merely to know why you weep." Sesshomaru replied with a cold look in his eyes "teh! Are you blind or something? What does it look like I'm crying about!" The half demon snarled more tears sliding down his cheeks. "Hn. Then allow me to ease your suffering, little brother." Sesshomaru said as he approached the two dead girls and using the Tensaiga brought their spirits back from the dead. "Kagome!" InuYasha yelled as he ran to her "InuYasha?" She wrapped her arms tightly around him "But I thought that I was… Oh no, Rin! Rin wake up!" she started to shake the teen but was stopped as Sesshomaru gently pushed out of the way and lifted the slumbering Rin on to his shoulder "She'll be fine, she is asleep that is all." He said quietly now walking back into the forest "Sesshomaru wait!" InuYasha called, the great demon stopped glancing back at his younger brother
"Why?" InuYasha questioned still not trusting his older brother.
"I'm not sure I know what you mean, little brother."
InuYasha growled in annoyance "Why did you help us."
"That is none of your concern. And InuYasha…"
"Yes?"
"Get off of my land before I kill you."
"Why you…" InuYasha growled and reached for his sword but Kagome stopped him "Sesshomaru, Thank you!" She said with a big smile, Sesshomaru stopped once more but didn't look back at them.
"Girl…Kagome was it?"
Kagome smiled "Yes…"
"Before you start saving more innocent children, you should first worry about the one in your womb." He said with finality as he disappeared into the forest.
"Ahh ha ha, Gulp" Kagome looked at the now glaring InuYasha
"Kagome was there something that you forgot to tell me!" He growled
"heh heh, yeah um I was going to tell you later, but since it's out in the open… I'm six weeks pregnant, InuYasha." She replied bowing her head and turning bright red.
"Is it mine?" InuYasha asked covering his head with his clawed hand
"What do you mean is it yours! Of course it is! How dare you even ask me that?" Kagome screamed at him
"Well you never know! I was just asking!" He screamed right back
"InuYasha SIT!" She screamed sending him crashing to ground "I'm going to stay with Sango and Miroku and when you're ready to talk to me with out screaming then come get me!" She yelled as she walked off into the direction of the new demon hunter village.
"Damn it! What did I ever see in that damn woman!" InuYasha growled
"Oh, InuYasha…I heard that." Kagome said with a little singsong voice
"No wait I didn't mean it!"
"SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!" She screamed sending him crashing deeper into the ground.
Sesshomaru laid Rin down in his bed, still trying to figure out his own feelings toward the young lady.
"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken called as he entered the room
"Jaken, What have I told you about knocking?"
"OOoh. FORGIVE ME LORD I FORGOT!" the little imp nearly screamed bowing at Sesshomaru's feet.
Sesshomaru said nothing as he pulled the covers over Rin's well shaped body.
"I see you found her my lord. Silly girl always getting into trouble and making you save her." Jaken said as he approached the mat like bed Rin lay on.
"Silly girl? Foolish is more like it." Sesshomaru said but unnoticed by Jaken he also smiled as he made his statement
"Yes, Yes my lord she is very foolish! Uh…would you like me to stay with her as always my lord?"
"No this time I will be staying with her."
"WHAT! BUT MY LORD-"
"Do you have a problem with that, Jaken?"
"NO, NO MY LORD O-OF COURSE NOT!"
"Good. Now leave us."
"Yes my lord, of course." Jaken said as he hurried out of the room 'Lord Sesshomaru never stays with Rin when she is sick, he'll check in sure, but most of the time he has other more important things to take care off. I wonder why he is staying with her tonight.'
Sesshomaru watched Rin as she slept 'Could I possibly be in love with a human? No, that is not possible but then why did I save her, why do I continue to protect her, and why did I feel that horrible emptiness as she ran from me crying.' Sesshomaru contemplated clenching his fist 'It was my father's love for a human that caused his end. I cannot allow myself to make the same mistakes as him and that foolish half demon brother of mine.' He growled as he stood with the intention of leaving "L-lord Sesshomaru…" Rin groaned in her sleep 'a dream?' Sesshomaru questioned as he watched her toss and turn "No…Please don't hurt him….don't hurt Sesshomaru!" she groaned 'Ah, a nightmare.' Rin whimpered and a tear slid down her pale cheek 'she's crying…' Sesshomaru thought as he bent down and caught the solitary tear with his clawed pointer finger. Rin woke up right as he did, and she lay there staring at him in wonder, he watched her as he brought the finger he used to catch her tear up to his lips and licked the salt water off. "Lord Sesshomaru…"
"Rin, you may call me Sesshomaru."
"smiles Sesshomaru…"
"Tell me. What were you dreaming, Rin?
"Blush ummm… you were trying to save me from Naraku but his miasma poisoned you and you started to become weak, and Naraku was slashing at your body with sharp tentacles." Rin looked down now very embarrassed
"ah, so you still have nightmares of that battle, do you?"
"Hai. If InuYasha and Kagome didn't get there in time and distract Naraku…"
"Hn. InuYasha."
There was a sudden crash out side Sesshomaru rushed out of the room followed by Rin, out side of Sesshomaru's Castle was a young woman. "Greetings, Lord Sesshomaru. My master has sent me to retrieve that young woman behind you. You see she is quite important to help him to greatness." The woman said stepping into the light, her knee length dark brown hair had burgundy highlights was tied back in a low pony tail with red ribbons laced around it; she wore a blood red Chinese like dress with fall leaves on the front, and a burgundy sash around her waste, her bright orange fox tail swished back and forth as she spoke. "Rin, get behind me." Sesshomaru said quietly
"I see you're as stunning as rumors say you are." She laughed as she walked closer
"Who are you?" Sesshomaru growled his hand firmly on his sword.
"Chuckle I thought you'd never ask, my name is Akimaru. Now if you'd be so kind to hand over the young woman there, I'll be on my way."
Sesshomaru stood his ground and said nothing more.
"Ha. Okay have it your way," Suddenly she was right in front of him, her katana pressed tightly against his sword Tokijen. The two fought sword to sword combat for a while, until finally Akimaru got bored.
"Fox Whip!" she screamed and Sesshomaru was hit head on by a bright red whip like energy attack. Rin screamed as a Black whip wrapped painfully around her waste and she was pulled to Akimaru.
"Thank you Sesshomaru. And do not worry about little Rin here, I will personally make sure that her death is not very painful." Akimaru laughed
"Lord Sesshomaru, Help Me!" Rin screamed struggling and reaching for him
There was another loud crash and the two women disappeared before Sesshomaru could get to them. Sesshomaru frowned and ran as fast as possible toward where his father's sword the Souunga fell into the neither world.
