W-O-W

"Rin! What happened! You look so pale. Are you alright?" Asked a very concerned Kagome knocking on her door.

"I saw something very bad yesterday…" Replied Rin gloomily.

"Oh no… Please don't tell me it was that…"Answered Kagome coming into her room.

"She has won! Sesshomaru-Sama will never love me! I knew it from the beginning!" Rin cried onto Kagome's chest. "It's all over…"

"Rin! How do you know it was real? What if Sara's father forced him to kiss her or something?" Asked Kagome.

"No! It was real! I saw the whole thing!" Cried Rin.

"Well, why don't you ask him, what place in his life are you. He'll give you straight answer for sure." Suggested Kagome trying to cheer her up.

"No…" Stated Rin.

After Dinner

Rin had been trying to avoid Sesshomaru all day and was successful. On the other hand, Sesshomaru kept trying to avoid Sara, which was unsuccessful. Finally the day was over, and Rin could go to sleep and forget about everything.

"Rin" Sesshomaru called from behind.

"Y-Yes…" Replied Rin turning around.

"Come with me." Sesshomaru said. Sara also saw this motion and decided to see what they were up to. They went into the garden and sat down under the Cherry blossom tree.

"Tell me your dream Rin." Sesshomaru said staring at her.

"Can I ask you something first?" Asked Rin, desperately trying to keep her tears from coming out.

"Fine" Replied Sesshomaru.

"What… Do you like Sara?" She was almost going to ask Kagome's question, but decided to ask this one first.

"Why?" Asked Sesshomaru.

"I don't know… Do you like her?" Asked Rin again.

"No… I do not like her. She is too full of herself, trying to 'flirt' with me. She can only get this close to me because of her parents. She couldn't do a thing by herself." Sesshomaru replied.

"Then what about th-" She was cut off again.

"The kiss? I knew you were watching Rin. Her father 'kindly asked me' to give her one kiss before they had to go. So I decided to kiss her that night. I wanted to know what you would do." Rin gasped at this.

"But why?" Asked a very confused Rin.

"You have been my ward for thirteen years now. Every time you look at me, your face starts to redden. From the moment you met Sara, I knew something was different about you. My theory was confirmed when you challenged Sara to fight, and when you lied to me about your dream." He took a breath. "I wanted to know what was really going on in your head. Now that I am talking to you; Rin tell me your true intentions." Rin was shocked, but tried her best to control herself.

"Sesshomaru-Sama… I was so angry that you kissed Sara, but from the beginning, I had a feeling that you would choose Sara over me. Because she is a demon, and I am a mere human… Sesshomaru-Sama, the dreams I have been having recently scared me because it showed that Sara was carrying your heir. She kept on telling me that she won, and it scared me. But now that you said that you don't like her, I feel kind of stupid thinking the way I did." Rin took a breath, and started to tell him what she had wanted to tell him all these years now. "Sesshomaru-Sama… I have traveled with you for thirteen years, and when I first knew what love was, I knew that I will always…forever love you and only you until the day we part. When I was a child, it was a child's love, but now that I am twenty, I love you as a woman loves man. You may not have the same feelings for me, but I will always have those feelings for you." Rin was shocked that she said what she said.

"Rin…" Sesshomaru, for the first time, was speechless. But he was grateful for the first thing that came to mind. Sesshomaru gently put his hand on Rin's neck and gently kissed her. Rin was also surprised by what he did, but this was the thing she had waited for; for so long. 'No! Sesshomaru-Sama loves me!' Now it was time for Sara to mentally scream. She ran into the castle crying her eyes out. 'You will pay dearly for this Rin!'

The two broke away. Rin knew that Sesshomaru would never say he loved her, but his eyes and his actions were more than enough.

"Get some sleep Rin. I sense tomorrow is going to be out of the ordinary. Goodnight." Concluded Sesshomaru as he walked away.
