I just finished my first exam yesterday! Yes! Back to studying for my next one tomorrow... after I finish another long chapter. Aw... and I vowed that I'm not updating until I'm done school... Meh. Excuse the syntax, flow, and grammar. I'm a crazy person right now as I just want to get this chapter out... hm...

"Chronic myelogenous leukemia..." Sesshomaru repeated the long-winded diagnosis once more. "Terminal blood cancer..." He felt the hair in the back of his neck bristling at the deadly combination of the key terms terminal and cancer. Why was it her? Why was it that out of everyone she was the one to suffer? He blamed himself; why hadn't he noticed anything before? She had lost so much weight; that should have been a warning sign. Instead of recognizing the signs of the illness deteriorating his wife's health, he was too busily sneaking around with his mistress. He was a pitiful husband.

"There isn't much we can do at this moment in terms of the treatment of your wife's CML; she's already been tremendously fortunate though, I would have congratulated you, Takahashi-san if it wasn't for the unfortunate news of her leukemia," the doctor looked down at the patient file in his hands and frowned at the sight of Rin's other tests.

Sesshomaru was beyond exasperated, was there really no hope for Rin? Wait, congratulations? Was the doctor mad? Congratulations for what? He hesitated for a moment to brace himself for anything the doctor may have in response before he asked the simple question, "Why?"

Doctor Arata pushed his glasses against his nose bridge one more time and stared at Sesshomaru in astonishment, was he really asking him why they couldn't start Rin on chemotherapy or α-interferon cancer treatment? Did he lack common sense? Or had he not have known about his wife's conditions? He tried to suppress the displeasure in his voice and gave the clueless man a simple answer, "She was very lucky that she didn't lose the baby. We can't start the treatments because that would hurt the fetus, unless Mrs. Takahashi would voluntarily abort the child."

Sesshomaru felt like someone had just shot him in the stomach; he was having a queasy feeling growing in his stomach. Rin was... pregnant? How did he not know any of this? He hadn't touched her ever since he began his affair with Sara; the child wasn't his. His blood boiled for a moment. She was cheating on him all this time too? With whom? Sesshomaru was exercising his double standards: he could cheat on his wife but it wasn't acceptable for her to cheat on him. He clenched his teeth in response to the wrath swelling within him.

Then it dawned on him, 'That time.'

Three months ago, he had a small turbulence with Sara in their affair. She was threatening him that she would no longer bed him until he promised to divorce his wife and marry her.

'Dammit, Sara,' Sesshomaru was stirring and frustrated. His mistress had just wagered a hefty gamble to play this game with him. He wasn't a force to be trifled with - the stakes she was risking were high. But the woman knew how to wrap him around her fingers.

"That's right, Sesshomaru! It's over until you leave your wife! A proper woman like me can't be 'the other woman!' You either leave her or I'm leaving you!" Sara screamed at Sesshomaru across the living room of her apartment. A moment ago she had just pushed Sesshomaru off of her after he stalled in replying to her request. "Maybe it's because you don't want to leave her! You don't love me!"

Sesshomaru wasn't paying attention to Sara's words. He was enthralled by Sara's cleavage. She was wearing a short little black dress with a deep cut to reveal her assets. He advanced her slowly from behind and trailed his hands down her side and grabbed her waist in his arms. He leaned in to nip her nape.

'Nothing works better than make up sex,' he smirked at the thought; he was undeniable.

But something he did not expect occurred; she pushed him away. Sara pried his interlacing fingers off of her waist and kicked him in the knee. She turned around to him with a stoic face. Her dark gray eyes were filled with resentment.

"Get out, Sesshomaru! Leave my apartment! Now!" Sara pointed to the direction of her front door and fumed at Sesshomaru. "I'm not sleeping with you until you meet with a divorce lawyer!"

This woman meant it; Sesshomaru didn't want to continue his attempt to seduce her any further. Yes, Sara was the one and only but she wasn't the only woman he had. He grinned and nodded. She would come back to her senses eventually. The truth was, he didn't plan to leave his wife. Rin's father, the senior Hokkaido had a significant stake in Takahashi Pharmaceuticals. In addition to his position as one of the largest shareholders, he had an alliance with many other members of the board. Sesshomaru, even as the chairman and the chief executive officer of the company, couldn't afford to lose Hokkaido's support.

He shook his head and gave Sara another grin and showed himself to the exit of her home.

He stepped into his house and his wife was there to greet him with the dinner ready, as usual. She hugged him around the waist and leaned into his chest. She looked up into his eyes with her warm chocolate orbs. She could smell the perfume of another woman lingering on her husband's dress shirt. It was "hers." She had suspected it for a while now - her husband's affair with the flutist from the Nippon National Philharmonic. But Rin loved Sesshomaru so much and the affair could have been just a lusty affair.

She didn't want to overthink it or pry in his business; after all he still came home every night. Her mother's voice rang in her head, 'To be a good wife is to turn a blind eye. Never confront him until it gets so bad that he never returns home to sleep in his own bed each night.'

"I made you dinner, are you hungry honey?"

She was expecting a verbal response from him but he seized her lips with his instead. Sesshomaru felt the need to release his urges; he knew Rin would be willing to oblige to his every request. He grabbed his suitcase from her hands and threw it aside. Never breaking the kiss, he moved down her neck and shoulders.

"Honey... I don't feel like I'm up to it; it's been a really long day," Rin pleaded softly with her tiresome voice. She had been feeling awful lately and she knew something wasn't right with her. She suspected that it might have been anemia. She was always out of breath and energy.

Sara had rejected him; Sesshomaru wasn't going to take another "no" from another woman. He had heard her loud and clear but he chose not to respect her wishes.

"Please?" she begged him once again.

'Rin was playing hard to get?' Sesshomaru smirked and scooped his wife up in his arms bridal style and carried her to the bedroom. 'You can't deny me, Rin.'

Rin was flustered. He hadn't been this intimate with her for months now, what was wrong with him? She was bewildered and pleasantly surprised but she really didn't feel like she could meet his needs; she was fatigued. It was almost like someone pulled a plug from her or something. She felt nothing but lethargy.

He pressed his body against hers and let out a deep moan. He wandered his hands to the small of her back and slowly lifted the white sweater and tossed it aside the bed.

How was that possible? It was just that one time. How could she have gotten pregnant? They had tried for many times in the years before but Rin had always had difficulty conceiving. What were the chances? He had completely ignored her begging and pleading and decided to bed her anyways. Did she know she had CML? This was going to complicate a lot of things with her, with her treatment... and with them. A strange sensation crept up to him and it was at that moment it dawned on him: he was going to become a father.

"Well, Takahashi-san, I must attend to my other patients now," Doctor Arata nodded at Sesshomaru once again and left him alone to ponder about the situation at hand.

"Chronic myelogenous leukemia..." he whispered to himself over and over again while sitting in the silent hall of the hospital intensive care unit. The strong scent of disinfectants lingered in the air around him as he inhaled heavily while leaning against the plastic chair. He lifted his chin to stare aimlessly at the bright ceiling lights and felt the sense of uneasiness rushing through him. It has been over six hours now and Rin was still in a coma. The doctors said her recovery was slower than expected.

He thought hard for a moment. The child must be at the end of its trimester. That was further than any of Rin's past pregnancies; she had always had the miscarriages around the 4th or 5th week.

"It's a miracle," he whispered. The child was a miracle. Not only did it survive Rin's accident just hours ago but also it was defying the odds of Rin's leukemia. His heart sank at another thought, Rin needed to get treatment right away. What was she waiting for? Did she know she had the baby? Why didn't she bother to tell him?

'Stupid Sesshomaru, she knew about you and Sara.'

Sesshomaru cringed and burned his face in his hands once again. He was so stupid. It was almost like he had just awakened from a year of deep slumber. This was the first time he truly felt anything emotionally. Upon the sight of Rin bathed in a pool of her blood had completely changed him. He suddenly realized what he had with Sara was a mistake. But was it too late to fix everything now?

"Takahashi-san?" A young nurse tapped his shoulders lightly and waited for Sesshomaru to response. When she had finally gotten his attention, she began once again. "Mrs. Takahashi has just awaken, I thought you'd like to know. She might need you."

"Rin..." Sesshomaru's eyes widened and he nodded at the nurse. Leaping out of his chair, he headed down the hall towards Rin's patient room. Rin was finally awake; she needed him.

"Rin!" Sesshomaru's breath was rapid from his running. Rin was awake now; her back was resting against a firm pillow. Her arms were invaded with an intravenous connected to three bags of fluids. Her fingers were clipped with various monitors tracking her heartbeat and temperature. The hospital patient gown hung loosely on her cadaverous body. Her left leg was in a heavy cast and her head was bandaged. Rin's chin was heavily bruised. She looked like she was going to blow away even if a mere light breeze blew into the room. She turned her soulless glance to Sesshomaru when he walked into the room and remained silent. She made no effort to speak up.

"Rin, thank goodness! You're finally awake. You don't know how worried I've been about you!" Sesshomaru walked towards Rin's bed and sat down by her. He reached for her face. Rin flinched away from him.

Beep. Beep.

The heart monitor peaked for a moment. Rin gave him a look of disgust. She collected all of the energy in her body and lifted her bruised hand to her oxygen mask. She tugged the clear plastic down slowly down her chin, avoiding the bandages on her face. Rin turned her attention to her husband once again and her glance pierced through him. There was a long pause between them.

"I want a divorce," she watched his reaction but there was none. "No more conditions. I want to sever all ties from you."

"What?" He looked at her as if she was crazy. Was this the same woman who he had married? His sweet wife? Rin? Did she lose any of her memories? Did the impact of the crash do this to her?

"I want a divorce from you," she reiterated once again as if he didn't catch her the first time. "Let's pretend nothing happened between us, ever."

"Rin? Did you... Do you know who I am?" Sesshomaru asked Rin the question as if she was damaged in the head. "I'm your husband. We've been married for 6 years. I love you."

Rin gave him a despicable look, "Why would I divorce you if we are not married, Sesshomaru? You don't love me. If you did you wouldn't have had the affair with Sara Asano."

Rin's mind was as clear as day. She knew everything well. She remembered his cheating. She remembered Sara's name well. Her mind was made up and there was nothing he could do about it.

"You can't! I need to be here for you for your leukemia! We're going to fight this together!" Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's small hand and squeezed it tightly. "Our baby also needs me..."

His voice trailed off when Rin winnowed her wrist from his grasp. She looked to the curtained window; it was pitch dark outside. How long had she been asleep for? Was Sesshomaru here with her the whole time? Did he change? No. Cheaters will always be cheaters.

'Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me, Sesshomaru.'

"CML is treatable. I'm not afraid of it. So you've finally found out?" Rin turned her face to face her husband once again. She slowed down her speech to articulate each word clearly for him. "You do not deserve to be the child's father. You never did before. You don't deserve her now. You will never deserve her like you will never deserve me."

Her voice was full of conviction and rage. What happened to his sweet and submissive wife who brought him bento before the accident? But that was before she had seen the incriminating evidence in his office. He wanted to justify himself but he was lost for words. Justice was never on his side to begin win; he was the criminal.

"Rin... I... I've changed. Give me another chance," he tried to give her his golden puppy eyes. "I need you. I want you. Let's start this family. I'll make amends to you."

Rin shook her head and responded to him firmly, "I can't forgive you."

"Rin, I'm sorry. I know I'm not convincing here. But I promise to love you, to take care of you, to stay by your side. I'm not leaving you. Just come back to me. We can put this behind us. We can fix this. I can fix this."

He was a liar but his words were so convincing, he was a con artist. He made her believe him once. Where did that take her? Rin thought hard for a moment; she couldn't let him manipulate her like that, "You're not sorry for what happened between us. You can't make amends to me because what you've done to me is unforgivable. We're going to put this behind us by getting a divorce."

"Rin, please?"

"I must ask for you to leave now, Sesshomaru," her voice was aloof and distant. She didn't even pause to think. His words were oddly familiar to her; she was in the same situation six years ago. When she was young and naive, she believed him. But not this time, she was older and wiser.

"Rin! Rin! Don't ignore me! I know you're up there!"

Sesshomaru's voice resounded outside her windows. She could hear the rocks knocking at her window but she chose not to answer him. She had finally gotten away from his haunting. Besides, it was beginning to thunder outside, a storm was looming.

"I know you can hear me, Rin! Why won't you just listen to me? I can explain!" the young Sesshomaru pleaded to his girlfriend. She was ignoring his calls and even took an extended vacation from work. "You can't hide from me for forever! I'm going to be here. Right here until you come out!"

Rin rolled her eyes; she crouched down by the windowpane and slowly peaked her head above the windowsill. Sesshomaru was down there, in black sweats and a gray hoodie. He looked so handsome with his long silvery hair draping down his back. Her stomach churned at the sight of him.

'Don't look out, Rin. When you see him, you're going to be helpless. You're not forgiving him.'

Rin Hokkaido had made up her mind. She was going to sever all of her ties with the man downstairs. She had caught him in the restaurant with his ex-girlfriend, Kagura Suski. It looked like they were having a romantic date; they were having such a great time laughing away.

'Is he seeing her again?' Rin sat down and leaned against the wall and banged her head against the windowsill. 'Ouch.'

"I can see you by your window, Rin! I'm telling you! Let me explain! I just bumped into Kagura and decided to have lunch! It was nothing! I promise! We're just friends now, Rin!" Sesshomaru's voice was sincere and apologetic.

'Ugh. This is embarrassing. What would the neighbors think? Sesshomaru! Stop this!'

"Rin! Forgive me! I love you! You! You! You! Just you! I, Sesshomaru Takahashi only love Rin Hokkaido! I love her now, I will always love her and only her!" Sesshomaru roared once again from below. He was standing outside Rin's condo apartment shouting up. All of the pedestrians on the street were staring at him. This man was crazy.

Rin couldn't take it anymore. At this rate, she would have to move away out of embarrassment. She had to do some damage control, 'be strong, Rin.' She finally stood up and pushed her window open. She grabbed the wall beside the window and brought her head and shoulder out as far as she could. She got a good look at Sesshomaru. His eyes lit up at the sight of her face.

"Sesshomaru Takahashi! You'd better quiet down before I call the police on you!" Rin threatened him with her serious face. She sounded annoyed but in her voice there was a hint of playfulness. She could never holder a serious front for too long.

Sesshomaru grinned. Rin wasn't really mad; she was talking to him again. She probably had already forgiven him but she didn't know it yet. She was going to forgive him; it was in her nature to forgive. Besides, whose relationship didn't have a conflict? This was their first fight, ever. He had bumped into his ex-girlfriend Kagura two days ago. They had separated on good terms and now she was engaged and getting married to her perfect man in just two weeks. They had a casual lunch and had a lot of fun talking about old times. Rin had probably taken it the wrong way. Sesshomaru blamed himself; he and Kagura did look a bit too friendly. But honestly, they were like... "bros." He felt nothing but platonic liking towards Kagura.

He loved Rin and only Rin. He didn't realize how much he needed her when she didn't answer his phone calls or open her doors for him for the past two days. He couldn't function without her. He needed Rin in his life.

"Fine! I'm not screaming anymore! But I'll be down here until you come out and forgive me!" Sesshomaru shouted once again and stated his position firmly.

Rin rolled her eyes. There was no way he was going to stand down there. She felt a heavy drop of rain on her forehead. It was beginning to storm. She had already forgiven Sesshomaru. Now that she thought about it, she was overreacting.

'Silly Rin,' she thought to herself.

Rin looked at Sesshomaru once again. She would let her cool off a bit. Besides, she needed some space from her boyfriend. It would soon start to storm and he would probably go seek shelter. It was a thunderstorm for heaven's sake. Sesshomaru may be desperate but he wasn't stupid. Rin had a mischievous grin on her face and she pulled herself back to close the window.

"What to do now?" she wondered and turned her attention to a classics on her bookshelf. It had been such a long time she she curled up to a good book and a delicious cup of chrysanthemum tea. It was just what she needed: relaxation and down time. Besides, once the company begins budgeting next week, she'll never see her pillow for another twelve weeks.

Rin lifted the whistling kettle from the stove and poured the hot water in her oversized pink bunny mug. She lifted the cup to her face and felt the puff of warm steam mixed with a gentle scent of chrysanthemum filling her senses. She looked outside from her open concept kitchen. It was a mess outside; she could barely see the adjacent building because it was raining so hard. Suddenly she jumped at the sight of lightning with a loud clash of thunder that followed.

'Hmmm... Where was I last on?' Rin flipped through the book while curling up on her soft leather sofa. It was a thick hardcover bound Austen classic. 'Chapter... 5? 7?' She couldn't recall. Might as well as start on chapter 1; it has been so long since she's read it. It would be good to refresh her memories from the last time. She took a sip of her tea and her heart raced again when she heard the loud clashing of the thunder. The lightning lit the gray sky.

"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves." Rin read along the lines, she was fully absorbed in the text.

'Oh, Mrs. Bennet...' Rin smiled at the silliness and desperation of the woman.

"...that Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting his fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited that there was no enduring him!" Rin read the text softly to herself.

'Mr. Darcy... how Lizzy hated Mr. Darcy... Lizzy is so stubborn but then again, Mr. Darcy is a mule. A hard and emotionless but secretly sentimental mule... like Sesshomaru.' Rin smiled to herself. All she could think of was Sesshomaru right now. She loved him so much. He knew her better than anyone. He read her like a book. Rin felt herself blushing at the thought of Sesshomaru. There was nothing more than to be in his arms right now... feeling his lips grazing hers... and... Rin shook her head to snap herself out of her titillating thoughts. She had never done "it." Not even with Sesshomaru.

'Focus, Rin, focus.'

Hours had passed; Rin was already on her third cup of tea. Lydia had run off with George Wickham already. Rin felt a sense of drowsiness; maybe she should go to bed early. She looked at the clock on her wall and it took her by surprise - she had been reading for a solid seven hours.

'Wow.'

Rin sluggishly brushed off the canopy from her lap and walked towards her living room window to close the curtains before she headed for bed. It was still raining heavily. The rain had never stopped during the day. She glanced down from her large bay window to survey the empty Tokyo streets below her.

'No.'

Sesshomaru was still standing in the rain. He was soaked through and through. Rin couldn't see clearly from her window but she was sure his skin had a tint of purple from the freezing rain. Was Sesshomaru out there the whole time? For seven hours? No... no he wasn't. He was. He really did keep his words. He never left the spot since this morning. Rin was in denial, Sesshomaru had probably left for a lunch break or something and now he was back to seek pity. No. It wasn't like him. He would never do something like that. Sesshomaru was a man of his words. If he said he was going to do something, he meant it. No... oh my goodness. He was going to die from hypothermia...

"Why? Sesshomaru?" Rin watched him worriedly and whispered to herself. Rin propelled herself from the window and grabbed her keys. In a second, she bolted out of her doors. "Oh... Sesshomaru..."

She couldn't help but to blame herself. She put him through hell. Was he going to stand there until he fainted or something? What if she just left him standing there overnight? He surely would have died. The elevator was too slow. Rin ran down the fire exit stairs; her legs couldn't have carried her faster from the 6th floor. With each step she took, she felt an increasing sense of guilt inside of her. Why was she being such a diva? She was the worst girlfriend ever. What if Sesshomaru came into his senses and broke up with her? She would have deserved it.

"Sesshomaru!" she shoved herself into his arms. Rin couldn't let go of him. She pulled him closer to her petite frame. The rain poured down in buckets and she shivered when the wind made contact with her wet skin. She had just run out and now she was already feeling the biting cold. How did Sesshomaru just stand there for seven whole hours? She felt his cold breath against the side of her face. He had no body temperature.

Rin pulled herself to look at his face; his lips were blue. His eyes were barely open. He had hypothermia. Rin's heart clenched. It killed her inside to see her love like this. It was almost like someone had just stabbed her repetitively in the chest with a blade. She felt warm tears flowing from her eyes. She couldn't contain herself anymore.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Sorry, Sesshomaru! I'm so sorry!" Rin buried herself in his chest. Her light spring sweater was already soaked through and through. The thin fabric of her mid-length skirt clung to her legs. She was panic-stricken. She needed to get Sesshomaru inside. He was wobbling in her arms.

Then he did the unthinkable: Sesshomaru got down on one knee. He tried to balance himself while he shifted to reach something from his pocket. He struggled a bit because he couldn't feel his fingers because his body was frozen from the icy rainwater. Rin watched him in silence and trembled while he built up the anticipation. There... he felt it. He slowly pulled the little box out and opened it with some difficulty. It was a diamond ring set in platinum.

"Rin Hokkaido, I, Sesshomaru Takahashi need you in my life. Marry me. I'll take care of you. I'll love you. I'll cherish you for as long as I shall live. Just don't leave me again."

Rin's head throbbed. He was proposing to her, in the pouring rain. He had waited for her in the pouring rain for hours to ask for her hand in marriage. He didn't leave. Did he not know that she would have forgiven him anyways even if he had left? She loved, loved him. He had her heart and evidently she had his. Maybe, just maybe she needed him more than he needed her.

"Yes! I will! I will, Sesshomaru!" Rin caught his lips in hers. His lips were freezing cold but he returned the kiss with such fervent passion. She intertwined her fingers in his hair and held onto him with all of her strength. He was hers. The kiss felt like an eternity. But she would spend the rest of eternity with him.

After their lingering kisses he slipped the diamond ring on her fourth finger of the left hand. It fit perfectly around her finger. Perfect. It was going to stay there perfectly for the rest of their lives.

"Now, lets get you inside," Rin cupped his face gently. He leaned harder against the warmth of her hand. Sesshomaru reached for the back of Rin's head and brought her face closer to his lips. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Mine."

She grabbed his hand and shivered. They were like blocks of ice. Rin tugged Sesshomaru towards the front door. His movements were sluggish as his muscles were stiff from standing for so long. The elevator ride was quick. Before either of them knew it, they were already in Rin's apartment.

"Let me grab you some towels and a change of clothes," Rin smiled at her fiancé. "You need a hot shower."

He grabbed her by the hand before she could leave, "Come with me."

Rin blushed furiously. Sesshomaru was asking her to take a shower with him? Yes... they had been quite physically intimate before but not like "that." They were soul mates. Yes, they were extremely physically compatible. His touches were like electric shocks: her body reacted even at the gentlest of his grazing. But she was brought up by her strict parents to preserve her chastity until she was married and Sesshomaru had always respected her wishes.

'But we are getting married...' she thought of his marriage proposal a moment ago. There wasn't anyone else in the world she could imagine that she would give herself to. It was Sesshomaru; she could never deny him. Rin looked up from the floor in a haze and nodded at him.

Rin was fit but not plump; she was always conservative in dressing herself. She wasn't sure how she would feel about exposing her nude body to her fiancé. Deep down, she was in a hot mess, 'what if he doesn't find me attractive?'

Just as she was getting over her fears, she felt Sesshomaru's arms around her shoulders, some of his temperatures had restored. He was full of more vitality now.

"You don't have to do this if you're not read, you can take the shower first," he whispered to her with compassion understandingly. "Don't force yourself. I won't force you."

Rin smiled, Sesshomaru was always such a gentleman. She shook her head and replied to him, "I want to. I'm your fiancé now. Eventually..." Rin paused. She felt weird moping around like this. She was twenty-three already. She was a confident career woman with a fiancé who loves her. Why was she acting like an awkward teenager being pressured by her sophomoric boyfriend? Rin slipped her cardigan sweater off and unclasped her garment straps, the skirt and underclothes followed.

For a brief moment, she wanted to hide herself or run away; she had never felt so exposed. Then, Sesshomaru reassured her with a tender kiss, "You are beautiful, Rin."

He surveyed her in wonder; she was perfect. Rin was more perfect than the Aphrodite of Cnidus. Her smooth marble like skin was more polished than Michelangelo's Pietà. Her beauty was exquisite.

Somehow, her fears were melted with his reassurance. She felt her cheeks warming up as she reached for the zipper of his hoodie and zipped it down slowly. She grabbed the soaking wet fabric and tossed it onto the tiles and reached for his shirt. She didn't know what to do with it; she had never done this before. This was no playing dress up with her dolls. He let out a soft chuckle and pulled his wet t-shirt over his head himself, revealing his godly abs.

Rin was distracted by the old memories. Was he even the same man she gave herself to? How could the man who stood outside her windows for seven hours in the freezing rain become a cheater and a liar? He was her first love and her first heartbreak. Did he even mean his words at all? She had taken them seriously. She lived on them when she first found out about his affair.

His voice rang in her head. She remembered every single word. Every single word... "Rin Hokkaido, I, Sesshomaru Takahashi need you in my life. Marry me. I'll take care of you. I'll love you. I'll cherish you for as long as I shall live. Just don't leave me again."

For as long as he shall live... did he die a year ago? She let out a scoff. She loved him so much; she was ready to take him back if he just ended the affair and admitted to his fault. She wouldn't have cared. Their marriage was in pieces but she was sure they could rekindle the fire and fall furiously in love all over again. He wasn't entirely the one at fault. But to think he once said all those words to her... he had broken every single one of them by now...

'Once a liar, always a liar.'

She was so stupid. She was so young. He was older and knew more than she. He tricked her with his false sincerity. She had to protect herself. She wasn't good for her. Rin turned her glance at the man who was once her world, her everything.

"Sesshomaru, leave now. I don't want to see you again. You will be served with the divorce papers."
