A/N: I told you I would get started right away and I did! . Anyway, no chitter chatter at the begining, let's have the story begin!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha nor and related characters. I am not on any intent on making a profit from this story. The story line is mine.
Last Chapter: He had a feeling, that Rin's last days on earth were near.

....

She cradled the girl in her arms, how could such a young soul be stricken with such a misfortune? Kagome held rin close as her final hours approached. The sense of the nearing death was heavy through-out the room. Two months earlier, Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome aside, telling her that he had noticed Rin aged internally faster than most children did, and that she was growing more and more sickly each day. He told her he found all of her symptoms and the disease was labeled "Mother's Death". Kagome researched Sesshoumaru's findings, and discovered that "Mother's Death" in their time, was equivilant to "AIDS" in her time.. She felt sympathtic for the girl, and helped her cope with the news for the past few months.

Sesshoumaru logged every minute of the past two months, in amazement that humans seem so attached to the youth of their species. He realised that most humans carry a strong sense of emotion for those whom carry a disease. One that will toll death on them, or even ones that will toll a period of hibrination.. No matter what kind, they felt sympathtic because that person had to suffer. He noted that humans can't cope with suffering. He remembered when he told Rin that the disease she had was uncureable, and that she was going to die. And that he was not able to ressurect her once she did.

"Why can't you?" Kagome questioned him again, he figured she couldn't grasp just why. And sat there quietly for a minute, Rin's painful gasps for air rung through the room, her sweaty pain-filled body laid within Kagome's arms he looked into Kagome's eyes before saying, "I was able to ressurect her once, and give her the sight in her eye back, but you are born with this disease.. And I didnot rid her of it the last time, so if I do it this time, it will only gaurntee her a couple more years, then she will die again. And I will not allow her to suffer like that. So I will put her soul to rest." he said before watching Kagome's eyes swell up with tears, before hugging Rin tighter as the girl gasped once more.

They watched, as the air exited through her pale lips once more. Before her eyes became lifeless and her body limp, her heartbeat came to a stop, and she died. Sorrow filled the room from the newly departed innocent girl.

Shippou cried, he cried long, and hard. Despite the comforts Miroku and Sango gave him, he cried. They were in hiding again, just like they did the last month. It was Inuyasha's time and without Kagome, they were helpless. Shippou missed Kagome a lot, he missed the person he viewed to be his mother dearly, he wished that they could find her, and that she would never leave him again. He blamed Inuyasah for Kagome's capture, he hated the hanyou now more than ever, because he was the start of this big mistake.

Kagome cried, she curled up into a ball in her room, and just cried, she thought of Shippou when she help Rin's lifeless body, she cried because Shippou was like a son to her, and anyone who had a motherly responsiblity like that, would feel sorrow. She cried for Rin, and she cried because she missed Shippou, and Sango, and even Miroku and his perverted ways.

Later that evening, she stood next to Sesshoumaru in a large field filled with flowers, as some servants mourned the death of the little girl. They lowered her body into the ground and they covered her body with dirt. The gravestone stood there, that was crafted over the past two months, with nice details. Sesshoumaru picked this place, because Rin would often be here picking flowers, and singing childish songs. He figured he would lay her were beauty was to be found by those of an open mind.

Another month passed, the sorrow of Rin's death eased, and life went on. Kagome was once again in the study, lost in though with a book she had been reading, it was quite a large story. It had many other books to follow it, she loved the story. She ignored Sesshoumaru as he wrote down more about her actions, and placed them in his book. She figured out that he was studying her, but couldn't see about what. She just gotten used to it, she looked over to the Lord, unable to keep herself from blushing now. She noticed that she was growing fond of him, and that it could be her demise if he ever had found out.

He noticed the tint on her cheeks, and smirked. He knew that Kagome was begining to fall for him, and he liked this idea, because if would crush Inuyasha's very being to know that his wench fell for his brother. It pleased him as well, because he had developed a liking for Kagome as well, he denied it when he thought about it, but the blunt truth was there, he was falling for her too. He was taking the tainted path his father once strolled, and he couldn't stand it.

"Sesshoumaru.." her voice echoed across the study, "Why do you think humans are weak.. Tell me."

He looked at her, his emotionless eyes rested on hers as he said, "Because they love." before writting more in his book. She sat up and closed her book and said, "But, love is all we live for."

"We live to die. Nothing more and nothing less." he stated before standing up and striding out of the room. Kagome was confused, why did he hold such a dim view on everything? Why was he so closed-minded, why was he heartless? She wanted to know everything about him now that she had spent three months with him. She wanted to seep into his being and figure out, just why.

He growled, he couldn't figure it out. She was like a puzzle... One of those puzzles with a missing piece. He threw his reasearch across the room. The first time he's been able to loose control of his emotions. He listen every imperfection of her, but he still had this feeling for her. He's falling, falling fast, the only thing that keeps him from seeking this feeling. Is that she could never bare his children, he would never allow it. A hanyou to be born.. a mistake, he smirked, he then thought of Inuyasha, and how torn he would be to discover that Kagome's fondness for him had left. It would nearly kill him, he'll pull out the card a little longer, his mind was set. Soon he'll use his tool and get what he desires most...

She grabbed a book, with a simple cover, that had a strap lock to it. She opened it and began to write, and just wrote about anything. Sesshoumaru, the story she was reading, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, Sesshoumaru, Rin, the castle, the courtyard, Sesshoumaru, simple stories she thought of, Sesshoumaru, she stopped, she noticed that Sesshoumaru came up a lot in her writting.. She sighed, and then on the final page, admitted her feelings, 'My feelings for Inuyasha have left me, he treats me like an object, and nothing more. My feelings for Sesshoumaru, once non-exsistant, are strong, I've fallen in-love with him..."
