I will state here so everyone can see, as I have said in last ch. MY BETA is currently busy and there WILL BE GRAMMARS MISTAKES. I could wait for Syao Blossoms to fix it before update it, but it will be a while and I doubt you guys would want that.
This ch. not turned out as sad as I thought, but for those who cry easily, I suggested get tissues ready!
Last, If anyone have not read "Ugly Sesshy", another Rin&Sessh fanfic of mine, give it a shot. It has not receive many viewers even though i was told it was good, that's why i shamelessly shout out for myself. Reviews said it's a heartwarming story, give it a try. Thanks.
I don't know when next chapter will be update. The fire has died out. I will try to write, but doubt I will be able to since the mood is gone. Wish me luck. Don't forget to review!
"Going back with Lord Sesshomaru of curse," exclaimed the young beautiful woman with the brightest smile that made even the sun looked dull. She answered so readily that his frozen heart was unwillingly melted. His (normally deadly) eyes were dancing with amusements and joys.
He was sure that she would come back to him, he always was. But there was the possibility that she might think the human's way was better and refused his way of life.
He sometimes wondered why did he give her the choices to being with.
Now that the answer had been clearly announced, his body suddenly felt tenfold lighter. Too light that he might float.
"I have been ready to go back with you since the day you left me here, my lord," she answered his silence wondered. "It has been so long. I have been worried that you would never offer to take me back," she confessed. The young girl was practically dancing with joys, a huge smile plastered on her tender face.
If the actions were performed by any other girls, he would think it was indecent to be so bouncing and hyper at her age, sixteen, but such thoughts never crossed his mind with her. She was joys itself. Rin.
"Make yourself ready. I will be back on the third sunrise." His deep monotone voice brought another smile out of her.
He departed with her at sunset heading to his palace to let Jaken prepared everything for her as well as getting Ah-Un for her ride.
It didn't need three days to get things ready really, but he knew that the humans were like a family to her and he wanted to give her sometimes to say goodbye. After she left with him, it would be seldom for her to meet the humans again.
He reached his palace late that night and ordered what needed to be done.
The next day begun in its usual fashion just like any other summer day. It was the seventh month of the year. The sun rose above the sky, shone warm light upon the earth and living creatures went on about their own business. Yet, something was unsettling within the great dog demon Lord.
Something felt wrong.
Very, very wrong!
After noon, he took off into the sky for he would not ignore his instinct. He flew gridding though the cool winds, focusing his attention to the small village that was yet too far from view.
Rin's village.
At first he was taking his sweet time, but something within him urged him to go to her.
Fast!
He did not know what it was, but he knew it wasn't from the excitement of their reunited. The feeling was dreadful.
'Has she changed her mind about going back with him?'
'Don't be silly!'
As graceful and calm as he may appear, his speed was increasing to its fullest ability. He had to see her!
It was nearly sun set when her village came to view. But the sight beneath him made his breathe caught in his throat. Half of the village's huts were destroyed. Blood spilled, humans', animals', here and there.
His sharp eyes narrowed to the giant, moving, ancient, demon tree that could be the king of the forest. Its dancing roots were grasping, and tearing anything in its views and paths. It was a disaster!
"Wind Scars!" cried a voice from a person in red attire that looked like a rat in compared to the giant tree. Inuyahsa was standing in front of the violent live tree. His wind scars creating many golden, powerful, bright lights tearing the earth at speed on its way towards its target.
In those split seconds the tree shoot hundreds of bullet roots Inuyasha's way just right before the demon tree's body was swollen into Inyasha's wind scars, causing the creature to fall with a heavy thud against the earth, making the ground trembled on its falling wave.
Inuyaha managed to cut off most of the pointy, sharp head, bullet roots; they were about five inches in diameter and a foot long. However one was able to piece right through his guts, creating a hole visible for anyone to view.
Sesshomaru's mouth started to jade, his eyes narrowed, his already high speed light ball increased as he rush his way toward the half-demon. He wasn't fast enough.
His stone hart sank!
He would not care if the root only piecing through the half demon, Inuyasha would heal, but behind him was Rin. The root that passed through his body was now stabbed right above her abdomen. Each of her arms was holding protectively over a human boy and girl. She started to fall.
Everything moved in a slow motion to him. He could see Rin's surprised expression as pains engraved into her fragile body, see every single hair of hers that was flaring up as she fall.
He gently caught her limped body into his strong arms before she hit the earth. It took a moment for her eyes to focus and realize what had just happened. She smiled when she saw him.
A sad smile.
His heart cried at the sight.
"Only two more days," she lifted one of her bloody hands that required all of the strength she had left to touch his stoic face. Her voice was soft and weak. "But it seem like I can't go back with you anymore," her eyes searched into his golden orbs. "At least, I can see you before I go." She gave him another weak smile.
Her signature smile.
But it was not the warm and comforting feelings that wrapped around his heart anytime she smiled; it was a cold, dark, and painful feelings that smothering and suffocating him. Because he knew that it would be her last smile.
A farewell smile.
"I'm sorry," it was barely a whisper but filled with so many emotions and feelings telling him just how much she wanted to stay. How much she wanted to be with him.
Her arm went limped falling beside her. Her smiling face disappeared. Forever…
.
…Her heart stopped.
.
.
.
His feet rooted to the spot, holding her in his arms. He did not transform and roared an echoing sad howl that could tremble the earth. His eyes did not bleed red. He didn't fall to his knees and started to cry like humans. He just stood there. Frozen as a stone. Because that was all the strength he had left do.
His senses were at their sharpest, yet at their dullest. He could hear yet couldn't hear his half-brother's words. The humans, crying, the chaotic displayed at the scenes.
At the same time he could hear and sense everything. He could hear Rin's last heartbeat, the moment it decided to stop and never beat again. The last breathed she drawn that he knew would be no another. Her warm bloods that were slowly dripping from her wound down to earth. The smell of blood, her blood, that made his stomach turned. Her rosy flush cheeks that slowly turned pale. The warmth that escaped her body and left it cold and stiff.
It was the full moon night. Even at his stage, he still noticed. The moon was slowly pushing its way up the sky and governed the night. It was such a beautiful night that he knew she would love and enjoy. They used to watch it together when she was a child. Siting in comfort silence. But now, there was only silence.
And pains.
Why did the moon still shone brightly without a tin of sadness?
Why was the earth still moving?
Why did the breeze blushing past him so gently playing with his and hers hair and attires.
Why everything continued when she was not?
He stood there holding that beautiful body. The body that would soon dissolved into nothing but a pile of bones. It would soon stink so bad that no one would want to be near.
Yet he did not want to let her go.
Her fresh scent that admitted from her had stopped. Never again would he be bathing in her scent. The unique aroma that he found peace and comforting in, that he loved.
All kinds of thoughts racing through his mind. All kinds of questions that required answers. But no answer would satisfy him.
There were so many opportunities await them. Things he wanted to show her. Things he could do for her. So much he had yet to say. They were just about to be reunited.
And what now? She was gone.
The first time the wolves took her life, he just didn't like to see her being so still. The first creature that he wanted to see moving and smiling instead of being dead. The first person he did not want to see disappeared from the earth. So he revived her.
The second time, he realized that she had become the most important person in his life. He was willing to give up anything just to see her alive and breathing.
Anything.
And this time. This time she had taken a part of him with her. Half of himself went missing the moment her heart stopped beating, including his stone heart. His chest would eternally be bleeding.
Hollow.
That moment he had realized he loved her.
More than life itself.
But he couldn't even tell her so.
She won't hear him.
She could no longer hear him.
The winds brushed passed them. He refused to move.
As if he could protect her from times itself.
The moon slowly passed and the sun appeared. He stood his ground with the woman he loved in his arms.

XxxxxX

His eyes snapped open. His body automatically shot up to a sitting position. One word escaped his lips.
"Rin."
He quickly observed his surroundings. The full moon was high up in the sky. The gentle summer breeze passed him by, sending his hairs flying.
His gaze drawn back to the woman beside him, who was drowning in deep slumber sleep. The woman that made the full moon night of summer bearable for the first time in the past century.
His face as unreadable as ever, his claw hand gently smoothed a lock of hair from her beautiful face behind her ear. He then lowered himself down and tugged her soft and sleeping form against his chest. His eyes stayed opened, afraid of what he might see if his closed them again. He watched the night passed and listen to the woman's breathing until the sunrise.

Thank you so much for the reviews. don't forget to do it again. I could finish this chapter because of them. Thanks guys,
LP: Thanks. They will slowly grow. ^^
Minky Sam: No, the one that died is the old Rin. I feel terrible to have killed her. (I'm a cold blood killer)
Smpt: She will warm up, I promise, but it will take times.
ProdigicMe: I have to disagree with you. Sesshomaru is a heartless individual that only cares about what involve and benefit himself. The heroin on the other hands gives up all hopes and felt powerless even if she cared. Still she concerned about people. When Seehy was in pain she embraced him when she didn't even like him. She was his prisoner even, yet she comforted him instead of enjoy seeing him in pains. To me she isn't like Seesy. And thanks for pointing out the grammars.
Trng0260: Lol, I didn't think about making him suffer for that purpose. I only thought about how to make a person who gives up on feelings to feel again was all. Thanks for the review.
Lovely123: Thank you very much.
Itzy: Thank you so much for the comment!
Skyler: Wow! You grasped the whole concept of the story in only a few sentences. I hope this explains his reasons.
Ana: Thank you. Don't forget to review again, lol.
Icegirljenni: It depends on the situation. Things change, people change, and the circumstances he was letting her go would play the big role.
Irivel: Thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed this ch.
EmpathaMagicGirl: Aww, thank you.
RinSess13: Don't worry too much about the English. I can understand what you meant to say. English is not my first language as well. I still struggling with it, but the more you use it the better. Good luck. :D
