Chapter Five-The Dream

Lord Sesshoumaru was still waiting for the girl Rin to wake up after an hour passed he dosed off and had a dream of HIS Rin she spoke to him and reassured him that she was well but that she never wanted to leave him she wanted to be with him forever. She would always be HIS Rin and no one else's.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Rin dreamed of her Lord Sesshoumaru of the power he had, of what he could be doing now, and of what he might of felt…for her. She hoped he was ok and that she could return to him, to be by his side again that was all she could ever ask for.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

When Rin awoke she saw Sesshoumaru leaned up against a near by tree with his eyes closed. "He looks the same as the one I remember but it couldn't be him could it?" she thought to her self never taking her eyes off of him. "It couldn't be the same person, I'm just seeing things that's all, I'm seeing things," she told her self, and repeated it, over and over. She could not force her self to look away she had to keep looking at him.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshoumaru opened his eyes to see the girl staring at him "she looks so much like my Rin, I wonder could it be her? I know only one way to see for sure," he thought to him self. He formulated his plan on best to test her, he was almost sure that this girl and HIS Rin were the same person. What he didn't know is that she was hopping he was her demon lord. "May I ask what you remember of your childhood," he asked.

"I don't mind, I remember pieces of it, but why would you ask it seems…an odd thing to ask…not that I mind…" she asked curious.

"I travel a lot and for eleven years I had a young girl as a companion and she looked a lot like you,"

"I do remember a lot of traveling with a lord and his servant, but it…wasn't…here," she waved her arms around her. "But it was a forest or a lot of I was real young and I was never sure," she had a look on her face that told people that she was trying to hold onto wisps of memories.

"Do you remember any names," he asked with a light wispy tone.

"No, but I remember that the lord was very cold and distant, to the rest of the world but to me he was a hero, a guardian, a protector he really was sweet to me, he even hit the servant with rocks when he got too annoying I pick one up once and it was so smooth and round I kept it for a long time…but the next year he said it was I got a proper education and he sent me away," her eyes had glazed over and until the end she had a smile on her face that would melt any heart.

"I have one more question if that is ok; could you tell me did the lord and his servant remind you of animals," he looked as if he was going to turn blue at any moment.

"I guess the lord always reminded me of a white dog, angelic, loyal and protective, and the servant reminded me of a toad annoying and not really nice to look at," she told him.

"So then, I have found you," he said letting his emotions loose for the first time in his long life. My love, he added in his head.

"I need to know one more thing, before either of us jumps to any conclusions, when did we travel, I just need to make sure, it's been so long you see," she looked at him like the world resisted on this one question.

"I believe it is called 'the feudal era' I personally would call it the era of demons, is that what you were looking for my dearest Rin," his voice awoke some part of Rin's heart that she had forgotten was there, she knew after what he said that things had changed dramatically since they had parted.

"Did...did you…just call me your dearest Rin…is that…is that right," she could only stare at him she didn't know what else to do.

"Why does this shock you? I have changed since you left…it has been very lonely, I miss your smiles and your laughter," he walked over to her, picked her up and brought her over to the tree he had just left. Sat himself and place her head on his chest so he pet her hair and breath in her sent with every breath.

"My lord," Rin started not knowing what to do and not knowing how to continue.

"That…sounds so…unpleasing, please my love, call me Sesshoumaru," he caught her eyes with his when she lifted her head she smiled a watery smile at him.

"May I come back with you, please I don't want to be here any more, I don't want to wake up screaming any more, please, my love don't leave me in this world any more," Rin nearly choked on her tears.

"Yes precious, you will come back with me, but not as my ward any more, I don't want to lose you before our relationship has truly started I want you to be my mate, I will not have another," he told her with his love shining in his eyes.

"But my Sesshoumaru I am but a human I will eventually wither and die," she asked the one question he knew she would ask he had thought of this so he was prepared.

"Ah but my love that is an easy fix, when we mate there is a method to correct that problem, our mating will be spilt into three stages first is called the protection, which I will not explain as it has already happened the second is called the marking which happens during the height of the sexual aspect of mating, and the third is the most important to us, it is where we would share blood and in this case my power, will you come back with me as my mate" he smiled at her.

"Yes, I will come back with you, and be your mate I would want nothing more then to be your mate," she smiled like she had never smiled before. So the two lovers went back to there own time, back to the castle of the western lands where they lived out there days togther.
