Rin awoke the next morning on something warm. She kept her eyes closed and nuzzled her face closer into the warmth. Something around her tightened and made her feel so safe. Soooo soft, she thought and tried to sleep again…but…the scent of the thing she was on caught her attention. It was a very familiar scent. Her eyes snapped open and she was met with the slightly amused amber eyes of her lord.

"S-Sesshomaru-sama!" she stuttered in shock and tried to get off of him but only wound up tripping over her own feet and falling. His strong arms caught her before she could hit the ground and he helped her up to her feet.

She muttered a thank you and kept her eyes on the ground to keep from blushing. Sesshomaru only nodded with a blank face before walking to the other side of their camp.

"Rin, stay here," he ordered without turning around and kept walking. "Jaken, come with me. A-Un you stay and protect Rin."

Jaken followed his lord obediently and gave Rin a strange look; he'd seen his lord with that human in his lap this morning.

The imp looked up at his lord but said nothing, not wanting to annoy the great dog demon.

Sesshomaru kept walking, deep in thought. Damn, what magic did she cast upon me?

While I held her in my arms last night I nearly fell asleep; this Sesshomaru does not sleep, this Sesshomaru is always alert and aware of his surroundings…but with her so close I could only concentrate on her. This morning when she dug herself deeper into my chest and opened those dark brown eyes of hers it was as though I had been hypnotized. I wanted so badly to bend down and capture her rose petal lips with my own. Her scent alone nearly pushed me beyond control; she smelt of so many flowers and of sweet honey. Damn it all! I can't stop this feeling…I love her. The Great Dog Demon, ruler of the Western Lands, has fallen for a human. There's no stopping it now…I will take Rin as my mate. My servants and followers will not dare to defy my choice since I am too strong for all of them combined. Kami I have to clear my head.

The afternoon sky was turning grey due to an oncoming storm and all the birds flew away, looking for shelter. They had been walking for nearly the whole day when the great InuYukai noticed a familiar presence in the distance, and no, it wasn't Naraku seeing he was destroyed the previous year. The presence Sesshomaru felt was that of his younger half demon brother. Fighting Inuyasha should take his mind off of things. He walked closer towards his brother's presence, putting his hand on his sword Tokijin.

Inuyasha soon came into view and he soon noticed the appearance of Sesshomaru. The hanyou stood in front of his mate Kagome and took out his sword Tetsaiga.

"Sesshomaru," he hissed, "why are you here?"

"If I were you, Inuyasha, I would get your mate out of harms way, I have no intention of hurting anyone from your group."

Sango, Miroku, Shippo, the half demon and his mate stood there in shock, "W-What?"

"The only one I will fight is you, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru answered in his deep monotone voice.

The demon's younger brother waited before the rest of his group left and got out of danger before he turned back to the elder sibling. "If you're here to take Tetsaiga again then let me tell you that you won't get it from me willingly; scratch that, you won't get it period."

"I'm not here for your sword."

"Oh…Uh, then if you're here to kill-"

"I'm not here to kill you either, however if you do happen to die during the fight then I won't really mind. I am just here to fight."

Inuyasha stood there with a stupid look of confusion on his face, "Right, so…uhhh what?"

"I do not like to repeat myself" Sesshomaru said in slight annoyance.

Inuyasha only nodded dumbly but a wide grin soon spread across his face. "Alright, bring it on!"

The two brothers started running towards each other, swords in hand, however, before they could swing there weapons a strong presence of a large demon started coming at them at a quick speed.

Rin couldn't stop blushing for the rest of the day; she could still feel her lord's warm body and smell his wonderful scent. He smelled of rich spices.

She sighed, "A-Un, when do you think they'll be back?"

The two headed demon shrugged its large shoulders and rested its heads on the grassy ground of the meadow they were in.

Rin walked out to the middle of the meadow and spread out on its floor. She stared up into the sky, it looked like rain. She liked the rain almost as much as she liked flowers. She would often try to catch raindrops in her mouth when storms started up, and oh how she loved the smell of the rain on the long grass.

She sat up hesitantly once she heard a low growl from A-Un. Something, or rather someone, was here.

Rin slowly reached out for her sword as A-Un came up to protect her. Her sword was lying beside her but a strong gust of wind blew it out of her reach. How can wind blow a sword away? Unless…

She quickly spun around. There, on the other side of the clearing was the wind sorceress, Kagura. She had escaped with her sister Kanna when Naraku was killed and hadn't been seen since.

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" the other woman said smugly. "Rin, where's your precious Sesshomaru? He didn't leave you did he? I wouldn't blame him if he did, demons shouldn't allow such lowlife humans to be in there company for so long. However…I am surprised that he hasn't killed you yet."

"W-What do you mean?" Rin stuttered in apprehension at what the witch was saying.

"Can't you tell that you are nothing more than a burden to him? He even told me so himself; you're like a pebble in the bottom of his shoe, he could never love you like you love him. I should do him a favor and kill you right here and now."

A-Un growled at the sorceress and lunged at her, only to be hit repeatedly by her wind.

"A-UN!" Rin screamed as the two headed demon fell to the ground, motionless.

Kagura laughed maliciously and glared towards the nineteen year old, "Sesshomaru is mine! He won't even shed a tear when he returns and finds you dead. He will probably thank me for getting rid of such an annoying burden and will take me as his mate. You will be long forgotten while we rule over the Western Lands together."

"Shut up! Stop poisoning me with such lies!" Rin yelled and looked around for her sword. Sesshomaru doesn't feel about me that way…right? She tried to keep her tears from falling but a few ran slowly down her cheek.

Once she found her sword she started running at top speed to retrieve it; she was lost without her sword. Sure she knew many moves and could easily dodge Kagura's attacks seeing as Sesshomaru taught her many fighting techniques but she needed her sword to be able to block the woman's wind attacks from cutting her too badly.

She was nearly there when her body suddenly stopped. She tried to keep moving but she couldn't.

Rin turned her head and noticed for the first time that Kanna was standing next to Kagura with her mirror. The nineteen year old noticed why she couldn't move; Kanna was sucking her soul into the mirror.

Rin started feeling weak and fell to her knees. The last thing she remembered was Kagura pointing her fan at her before an immense shot of pain swept through her body and everything went black. She also heard Kagura's voice through the darkness.

"He won't be able to save her this time. Tenseiga can no longer revive this human."
