Ok so I know it's been a while but I've been busy getting ready for school. (Can't believe it's that time already!) This chapter is short but I just wanted to give you guys something to read :) anyway enjoy!

What!?

"What do you mean you're leaving?!" Kagome practically yelled at Rin, but not with anger, more with surprise.

"I know this is very sudden but I have made my decision." She had a determined look on her face.

I stared at her and clearly needed some help but stupid Inuyasha just stood in the back saying nothing, which was surprising considering his brother was here. They clearly both already talked about this but couldn't someone at least warned me first?!

I got up abruptly, startling Rin, and began to pace the room. Ok so the cons: I'd be worried sick about her, I mean come on now she was practically my daughter after Kaede died. Sesshomaru might hurt her and it wouldn't be good if I killed him, I managed a quick glare toward him. The pros: she could actually be happy, ever since Sesshomaru stopped coming Rin seemed so miserable. Rin could finally bring him happiness since she seemed the only one he cared for. She would actually most likely be safer with him. And finally Rin was 18 now so it didn't matter what I say Rin could leave. I groaned in frustration, I hate it when I'm right.

I sat down again and Rin looked at me with worried eyes. I gave her a sad smile, what kind of friend would I be to hold her back from what she most desired? I took a deep breath "Ok you can go, not like I can stop you."

Rin squealed and gave me a big hug, "Thank you so much Kagome you don't know how much this means to me."

I sighed "But I have a condition."

Rin looked at me with a big grin on her face, "Anything you want Kagome."

"Me and Inuyasha get to visit when we want." Sesshomaru glared at me.

"Of course Ka…" She was cut off.

"What makes you think that you can give demands to this Sesshomaru ningen?"

"Well because I know that you want her to go with you as much as she wants to go with you." Rin looked at Sesshomaru but he said nothing, he's so dense he probably won't think about what I said till later. "And now that you mention it I have one more condition." I got up and faced him, "You better make her happy or else I will drag her back here and me and Inuyasha will personally see you to the underworld."

"Please Kagome." Rin stepped between us and smiled at me, "You don't need to worry about that I'm happy just to be by his side."

I sighed and remembered that I thought that way once too when it came to Inuyasha loving Kikyo. And I knew that soon she'd want more, and it might be more than Sesshomaru can give. Then again if me and Inuyasha didn't go through what we did than our love wouldn't be this strong.

I looked back at Inuyasha and he smiled at me and nodded I gave a big sigh and hugged Rin. "You're sure about this?"

She nodded "I've never been so sure about something like this before."

I let her go and Sesshomaru spoke "We leave in the morning tomorrow." And with that he left.

I sighed Rin got her hands full with that one.

~.~

Rin was so happy she was still up from excitement and happiness. She was really worried about the tonight. Even if Kagome said no she'd still go with Lord Sesshomaru, but she didn't want to leave on a bad note with Kagome and Inuyasha. She tried to close her eyes and sleep but just laid there in her futon for five minutes before she go up. Maybe a late night walk would help her sleep they usually did.

She found herself sitting in the spot by the ocean cliff that she and Lord Sesshomaru talked that night. She smiled to herself; this was possibly the best birthday ever. What could she ask for more than to be at her lord's side? There was never a greater honor than to be by his side. In the past she always pictured a grand reunion and even though that's not exactly what happened this much was enough for her. I wonder what my lord thinks about this whole situation.

"Rin you shouldn't be out here." She turned around at the rumble of his voice. She always relished in hearing his voice; especially when he spoke her name but never like this.

She noticed that he was awaiting her to respond and she knew how he hated to wait. She blushed noticing once again she was thinking embarrassing things. "I'm sorry my lord I couldn't sleep."

She looked over to the ocean that gleamed in the moonlight. This was perhaps her favorite spot in the whole village to think. Even during the night the village had some sort of activity going on especially during celebrations. It took a while for Rin to notice that Lord Sesshomaru sat next to her. She looked at him not caring if he noticed or not. There was a question that was eating at her for years.

"Lord Sesshomaru, if I may be so bold, I'd like to ask you something." She said cautiously.

He glanced at me and didn't say anything; she knew that that meant she could ask. "Why did you not visit me after I turned 14, my lord?"

Sesshomaru dreaded that question ever since he contemplated on to see her again. How was he supposed to tell her that even he wouldn't be able to resist her when she started to go 'in heat'? He didn't want to make hanyou's and definitely not on accident. His father already shamed the family name and this Sesshomaru wasn't going to follow in his footsteps.

He looked at her and gave her a practical answer, "You needed to grow up without me there for you to rely on so much." He sighed this was true too, "I wanted you to move on and become a strong independent woman."

When he glanced at her his heart almost skipped a beat. She was looking at him with tears in her eyes and a slight smile on her face.

She finally said "I'm so glad that Lord Sesshomaru didn't hate me and to think that it was for such a reason. I never thought you thought so highly of me."

A tear escaped her eye and before I knew it I reached out and wiped it away. But my hand just held her face in my palm. What has overcome me? I thought she would brush away my hand away but instead she grabbed it and held his hand close to her face.

She looked at me with hazel eyes and I knew she wasn't the same Rin he knew. She didn't look at him with child admiration but with something else that he couldn't exactly place. She was a different person now but somehow it didn't bother him.

He leaned closer to her and brushed his lips against Rin's and they both seemed to hold their breath. He wasn't sure if he should continue but soon Rin gave a silent approval by pressing her lips against his. Taken by surprise he paused before he grabbed her waist and rolled her onto the ground. He broke the kiss and looked at Rin; her face was a little flushed and it made her even more attractive.

Sesshomaru was taken aback by his thoughts. How could feel this way toward a human? Especially Rin! But no matter how wrong it felt he couldn't help but look at her with want. And maybe he could just curb his hunger for a little longer.
