Rin and the others walked in sadness for the days to come. Shippo wanted to tell Rin he was sorry but every time he still felt anger. Rin took on the part of leader but InuYasha could tell leading was never what she was used to.
Sesshomaru wonder why he didn't use Tenseiga? Sure it could have brought him back but would it be right, keeping someone alive when they knew that they would die. Sure Rin and Jaken he had brought back but they were different.
Sesshomaru looked at InuYasha who also looked at him. During the last 11 years they had become well brothers. They still had their fights but that was normal, at least they weren't after each others lives now.
" We'll rest here for the night!" said Rin stopping.
They all nodded and began to make camp. Rin began to walked over to the trees.
" I'm going to go fine me something to eat Satomi your in charge till I return," said Rin.
" Wait!" said Sesshomaru. " I might as well come along too."
Rin nodded knowing her father and her couldn't eat humans food without becoming sick. Jaken could and so could Ah-Un. Rin often wonder how she knew what foods were safe for her but she never question it.
So she began looking around as her father walked behind her. Soon Rin couldn't take it any more she fell to the ground and began to cry. Sesshomaru looked over and saw this. Normally he would just stand there supportive but this was his only chance to get though to her.
Rin was shocked when her father held her. Rin looked up at him. Her soft golden eyes shined so bright. Rin held onto his komodo, she wonder when was the last time she did this. 9 years was way to long she knew that now.
" Dad, I am so confused," said Rin in a light voice.
Sesshomaru didn't know what to say but he did tighten his grip on her.
" What am I to do?" asked Rin looking at him. " I have never lead anything my whole life. I mostly just followed orders. That's way Kinco was so important he knew how to lead and I just followed him. Like I know my demon blood is strong but how will that help me?"
" Rin, listen. None is expecting you to know how to do this. Not even me! I am a lord. I have been thought how to lead but even I sometimes can't do it. But Rin you are going to make a great leader it will just take time. Rin you have to talk with Shippo!" stated Sesshomaru lightly letting go of her.
" How can I?" asked Rin.
" By walking over and specking what you have to tell him!" said Sesshomaru. " Come, let's get some dinner!"
Rin nodded and got up. It felt good to have her father again. Sure she may not depend on him as much as she used to but she still loved the fact that he was there.
