The castle of the Western Lands was a magnificent fortress. It was guarded by demons of such ferocity that no human or low life demon would come near it. Sesshomaru had decided almost eight years ago to return to his fortress, in order to secure schooling for his then nine year old ward that needed to be educated in the various aspects of demons and their rules, regulations, and other such frivolous stuff. Others from the demon council had tried to question him on why he would do such a thing for a mere human, though he would not explain to those worthless demons why.

He had his reasons, one being the fact of the first miscalculated fight with his brother cost him an arm. Other demons knew of his injury and he was sure they reported it to all those on the demon council, and yet no one responded to aid him. Instead it was a mere human child that tried to help even though the help was unwanted and unneeded. The second reason was that she was his to watch over, she had devoted her life to him a loyal servant, and their fore he would grace her with the privileges of being the ward of the west. Many thought he took her in and had become her father figure. But those were stupid opinions in his mind, he held no emotion a father would towards his human ward, and for the longest time he merely tolerated her presence in his life.

His realization changed though almost a week ago when his ward was abducted from his home, midday, while he was out patrolling his lands. He would never forget when Jaken had come bounding towards him fear set in the toad demon's eyes, as he told him Rin was taken, and not by Naraku but by someone he thought he could trust. It was his younger brother's women who had bombarded his house with enough spiritual energy to kill all inside. Sesshomaru did not waste any time as he ran after the scent of his ward, and came face to face with what appeared to be Kagome. He was certain it was her, her scent was the same; the scar he learned in earlier years that had come from his brother on the apex of her neck.

He would have attacked to kill, but Rin who lay on the ground behind her begged him not to. Saying that this was not Kagome that something was wrong with her, and she knew not what she was doing. Sesshomaru would have attacked anyway but when he looked into the priestess' eyes he saw it was true. They were void of life, she could see no emotion from the girl, and he felt something was terribly wrong.

That was when Naraku appeared by her side with a wicked smile on his face, he did not speak him only laughed as they disappeared in a cloud of miasma. Rin ran towards Sesshomaru enveloping him in a hug thanking him for sparing her corrupted friend. But Sesshomaru was not listening to her words, instead he returned her hug, and he realized she was not just tolerated in his life, no she was needed and he would do everything in his power to keep her there.

When his brother had shown up to his home, he was angered he wanted to tear him to shreds for causing Rin pain, and though he would never openly admit it he wanted to harm him for harming his own intended. Sesshomaru did not know how the young women Kagome became a living corpse, but he figured it was his brothers doing, especially when he saw the dead priestess who Inuyasha once cared for by his side.

"Otouto why have you come here?" Sesshomaru asked trying to hold his anger back. He had come to an understanding with Inuyasha three years ago. His otouto was strong, and was worth of being the second son of the most powerful Lord of the West.

"We have come because something has happened aniki ." Inuyasha said his eyes downcast as he saw the anger in Sesshomaru's eyes.

Sesshomaru put his hand to the hilt of his sword, Rin who was standing at his side saw this and placed her hand on top of her Lords' and shook her head no. Sesshomaru relaxed taking Rin's hand in his instead.

"I have failed Kagome. Something happened and her soul returned to Kikyo and gave her life, and from what I have come to know Kagome is without a soul and attacking people who are her friends. She attacked Koga and his pack and there is no telling who she will attack next. We heard of the increased demon attacks in your realm, and we thought maybe it has something to do with what happened to Kagome." Inuyasha said.

"Otouto, I have seen you intended in fact she attacked my house hold, and kidnapped my ward." Sesshomaru said this calmly. This scared Inuyasha had he killed her.

"Doesn't worry I did not bring harm to her, but you must know it is Naraku who has done this. I will stand for this no longer; I will find and destroy him for using one of my own pack members to destroy what she has healed." Rin looked up at him and smiled.

Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru "You consider Kagome your pack member?" he asked confused.

"Of course she is you intended is she not?" Inuyasha's face grew solemn. "Now you may all stay within my house and we will set out within three days to hunt down Naraku and destroy him for good.

Everyone nodded while servants came to show them to their rooms. "Inuyasha we must speak come with me." Inuyasha and Rin followed after Sesshomaru.

When Sesshomaru entered his study his saw Inuyasha and Rin enter. Rin came to stand beside him as he sat down behind his desk. Sesshomaru turned and looked at Rin. "Rin why are you in here? I did not ask for you." She just smiled at him. "My lord though you have not asked me here, I must stay to make sure no harm comes to my Inu-onii-chan." Sesshomaru let out a small growl at the affectionate name she gave his otouto, and mostly because she called him hers. "Do you believe I will hurt my otouto?" Rin giggled. "I know you won't my Lord but Inu-onii-chan might say something and you will take it the wrong way and hurt him. Or he might try to hurt you and fail and hurt himself in the process." She said at this Sesshomaru smirked. He grasped her wrist and pulled it towards his mouth, letting his fangs graze over the soft flesh, not caring that Inuyasha was in the room. Her eyes glazed over, and his male pride soared, he dropped her wrist and turned to his brother who was burning red, embarrassed at the affection he witnessed, and angered by the longing to be that affectionate with Kagome.

"Otouto, do not blame yourself for this. I can see it in your eyes, and it is bringing down your pack. We will retrieve Kagome and destroy Naraku in the process. After she attacked my household I have heard rumors that she is attacking wherever a jewel shard is rumored to have been." Sesshomaru paused.

"Why would Naraku have her attack your house unless he wanted you to kill her?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru contemplated before answering "Perhaps he did, or perhaps he wanted something else, whatever the case may be, we can't allow him to continue."

"Are you bringing Rin and the Toad with you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Jaken yes but Rin will be taken somewhere safe; so that no harm will come to her will I am unable to protect her." Sesshomaru said. Rin huffed indignantly "Why must I stay behind Lord Sesshomaru, why can't I come along just like when I was younger. You won't have to worry about me I know how to fight, I can protect myself." Sesshomaru turned to Rin. "You will do as I tell you." He commanded. Rin stepped out from behind the desk and looked at Inuyasha.

"Inu-onii-chan please, please, let me come. She is my friend to I deserve to go along. I won't be a bother I promise." Sesshomaru growled loudly. "Sorry Rin Sesshomaru's word is law; you have to listen to him." Rin turned and glared at Sesshomaru before leaving the room.

"Why don't you let her come with us Sesshomaru she has as much right as everyone else to be there when we defeat Naraku?" Inuyasha said annoyed at how his brother was treating Rin.

"She is but a child Inuyasha, she knows nothing of brutality." Sesshomaru said his eyes lingering at the door.

"She has seen life, death, brutality and so much pain. Sesshomaru she is not a child by any standards she is a mature young women, even I can see that." Sesshomaru growled darkly at his words. "I am not talking about her like that, you know what I mean. She is not a child, if we were in Kagome's era she would be, but here she is a women capable of making her own decisions." Inuyasha spoke trying to make Sesshomaru understand.

"What is the real reason you do not want her to travel with us?" Inuyasha pried. Sesshomaru's golden eyes were filled with worry. "You're worried she will see what you really are. That's it isn't it. You don't want her to see you when you are in killer mode."

"She has never seen me like that before; I have never killed in front of her. I have never been merciless in front of her." Sesshomaru said

"It is a part of who you are Sesshomaru; she needs to see it or you will never truly be accepted by her." Inuyasha stood and walked to the door. He turned back to Sesshomaru "Hey Aniki" he said Sesshomaru looked up at him "I am glad you have someone to protect, at least we know you can feel."

Those words echoed in his mind long after Inuyasha had left. He remembered the words uttered by his father so long ago, and he too was glad that he had someone to protect.

Rin was pacing back and forth in her room; she was thoroughly upset with Sesshomaru. How could he not allow her to go, this was her friend they were talking about. She did not want to sit in some castle pampered like some spoiled child while the ones she cared about were risking their lives. She began to throw her pillows and sheets of the bed and towards the door. "Are you so angry you intend to harm me with pillows?" Sesshomaru asked as he stood in the door way.

Rin turned to him a scowl on her face. "Get out of my room" she spat out. Sesshomaru glared at her. "Are you ordering me around in my house?" he asked trying to keep calm.

"Oh how I forget how gracious you have been to me allowing lowly human Rin to be in your house. Forgive me my humble most benevolent lord Sesshomaru; I must have forgotten my insignificant place in this world." She said as she attempted to walk past him.

Sesshomaru quickly closed the door, and with his demon speed, pushed Rin against it, his right arm at her waist, his left hand outstretched on the door. He watched as her breathing increased, her face becoming red with anger. "Let me go Lord Sesshomaru, I wish to leave this place, I wish to leave you, for I am not worthy to walk in your shadow."

Sesshomaru growled loudly he moved he head to the crook of her neck and nipped at the tender flesh, causing her to yelp. "Calm yourself Rin" Rin tried to push him off of her, he nipped harder at her neck, causing her to yelp again. She stopped moving and stifled a low moan as Sesshomaru began to lap at the abused flesh.

He pulled back his eyes red his fangs elongated, Rin stared at him, she was not afraid. In fact she felt more drawn to him, she reached up and traced the markings on his face. "Are you frightened Rin?" he asked his voice darker and more gruff. Rin shuddered, "No my Lord, I could never fear you." Sesshomaru growled darkly and brought a sharp claw to her throat, dragging it slowly over her jugular he looked into confidently.

He pressed his body against hers, "I could kill you without blinking, and you are so fragile." He said. Rin placed her hands on his face cupping it gently. "Of course you could my Lord, but you would never harm me." She said very reassured. "In battle I may not be able to control blood lust, I may kill many, without any mercy.

"But you would never hurt me if that is what you fear. I could never fear you my Lord, you could kill hundreds in front of me and I still would not fear you, because I know the ones you kill will not be innocent." Sesshomaru chuckled darkly.

"Do you fear me my Lord?" Rin asked suddenly Sesshomaru gazed at her, her fingers trailed from his face, over his jaw, down his neck, and then slowly down his chest. "Why would I fear you Rin?" he asked shuddering at her touch. "Well not fear me my lord but do you fear that I will make you weak?" she asked. He leaned down his lips hovering over hers "You do not make me weak. You make me stronger." He said as he crashed his lips over hers. The kiss was powerful and shook the very foundations of his soul. He pulled back and looked at Rin who tried to catch her breath. "My father once told me that having someone to protect, would make me stronger. I thought he was a fool, but then you came into my life such a small insignificant human, Yet to me you have become my world, and I will do anything in my power and even beyond to protect it." Rin smiled up at her lord and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "My lord I am afraid you must leave." Rin said as she snuck out of his grasp.

Sesshomaru looked at her in awe, she still after pouring out his feeling to her wanted to have him leave. "Rin" he growled. She walked over to him "My lord I would love for you to stay and I would love to be kissed over and over again by you. But that would be very inappropriate, what if the servants begin to talk? I will not become the newest conversation topic for them. I am a proper well educated girl, now please leave." Sesshomaru chuckled.

"As you wish my lady, but do be ready to leave in two day." He said as he walked out of the door. Rin smile and placed a finger to her lips. Oh how she loved her Sesshomaru, no words could express it.
