Love

'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'… He is right… She needs to be taught a lesson… She is just a little bratty daddy's girl… She can't win… She doesn't love Sesshomaru-Sama like I do… She probably just likes him his looks… Well I wouldn't blame her…Still… She needs to be taught a lesson… Every little thing can not be given to her on a platter…

"You will not win…" Rin whispered trying to get up, but the pain in her shoulder was like a pain she never felt before. It was very, very painful, but she tried her best to stand up. Everyone in the crowd was surprised to see her get up after that painful stab.

"Yeah Rin! Show Sara what true power is all about." Kagome shouted from the stands.

"No… How can you get up? It doesn't matter… I'll just have to give you a little more pain…" Sara whispered. Rin finally stood up, wobbling on her knees.

"I will win…" Rin whispered. But then something happened very unexpected, Sara's sword started to emit music, flute music. To everyone in the crowd, it was very calming, and sweet, but to Rin, it was horrible screeching. Rin covered up her ears 'No! That's not fair, it's so painful!' Rin tried her best to concentrate, and to think of something. Blood was dripping from her pierced shoulder, her head was dizzy, the world was spinning, and she started to blank out…

"No!" Rin screamed. 'I won't let you have him!' Suddenly Rin started to glow, she was lifted into the air, and then a voice was heard: "I have never seen somebody love like this, to suffer all of this, just for one person." Sesshomaru and Lord Kitsune immediately recognized this voice. "You have so much courage Rin, so much strength, so much love… All my time being the protective spirit of this castle, I have never seen so much love… You are truly an amazing person Rin, showing the people of this castle the happiness of life. I give you a gift Rin, I give you the Akari Katana, a very magical sword." The most beautiful sword Rin had ever seen materialized from the light. "It is a sword that I kept and would give to the person who walks within these castle walls with the biggest heart. The Akari will listen to your every command, and even has a mind of its own. Since I have declared you the master of this sword it will always come to you when you call, and has other abilities as well; but you will have to discover those abilities yourself. I hope you take good care of this sword Rin. And please continue to shower my son with your love." With those words, the light disappeared and Rin was gently carried to the ground. 'I don't feel any pain anymore.' Rin looked at her shoulder and the wound was gone! 'Thank you'

"Rin!" Sara called out while charging at her with her sword. 'I'm ready for you Sara' and unsheathed the Akari. Both swords collided, and surprising Rin, the Akari overpowered Sara's sword. They both split, and Sara was preparing her most powerful attack.

"Please, my new sword, show me you great power" Rin whispered to her sword. Then it started glowing, 'Shout: Aurora Beam' A voice called to her.

"Azure Explosion!" Sara shouted releasing a giant blue beam.

"Aurora Beam!" Rin shouted releasing a giant multi-colored beam.

Both beams collided and the battlefield was lit up.

"Amazing." Kagome said, breathless.

"So my father gave her that sword. Even Sesshomaru seemed very surprised." Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, but everything your father said was true. Rin did change Sesshomaru." Kagome said.

Both beams looked equal, but slowly Rin's beam started overpower Sara's.

"No… You can't win!" Sara screamed.

"You fight me because you are jealous, and jealousy fuels your power. I concentrate on one thing and one thing only. To beat you. To defeat you and show you that a human can defeat a demon." Rin stated. Sesshomaru was shocked by this statement. 'After watching all these demons overpower humans, the assumption that a demon will defeat a human is very likely. Rin probably wants to prove that assumption wrong.' Rin's beam was getting closer to Sara's, and finally it hit.

"Nooo!" Sara cried.

"I win." Rin concluded.
