~Sesshomaru~

I sat in my study staring out the window at the morning sun as it rose over my city. I was quite glad that my memory had returned to me, and now hopefully Kagura wouldn't interfere. That is if she values her life. As the sun rose higher in the sky I figured that Rin would be getting up soon and I would have to explain myself to her. I sighed. Before Mizuki came into my life everything was so much better and easier. I dropped my head into my hands; let's just get this over with. I stood up and made my way down to Rin's room, I could hear her steady breathing through the door. I rested my hand on the knob and slowly turned it not to make any kind of sound to disturb her slumber. It was dark but I could see her small figure covered in blankets, I slowly walked in sitting down next to her. As I looked down at her all I could feel was a rush of emotions come over me, ones that I wouldn't let show.

"How could I have ever forgotten about you?" I whispered stroking her hair. She stirred but remained asleep. "I'm sorry Rin."

"It's okay Sesshomaru-sama." I heard a childlike voice reply. Rin turned and looked at me. Her gorgeous brown eyes, the one I fell in love with when she was a baby. She sat up and wrapped her arms around my waist as I did the same around her shoulder.

"Rin I'm sorry about everything that has happened to you. I promise I will protect you much better!" I said. She giggled.

"Rin like it when Sesshomaru doesn't protect Rin, it makes her feel like a big girl." She held out her arms. I smirked. Rin was getting older but right now she is my adorable little four years old.

"Well, when you're a big girl I won't protect you as much." I kissed her forehead and lifted her chin. "But Rin, you are a princess and you will always need to be protected." Rin frowned and turned away from me.

"Rin no princess…. When babies come they will take Rin's place." She played with her bunny's ears.

"No they won't Rin. No matter what you will always be my princess." Rin nodded and smiled. "Now let's go see if Mizuki is up!" She jumped out of her bed; grabbing my hand she led me to the double doors and into my room. It was dark instead light was starting to make its way past the black curtains and into the room. Rin released my hand and jumped on the bed shaking Mizuki violently.

"Mommy! Wake up!" she yelled. I smirked. I remember Mizuki wanted Rin to start calling her mommy now that we were to be wed soon. That means Rin would have to start calling me father. Mizuki turned the other way.

"Ten more minutes…." She mumbled. I chuckled. Leaning over her I nibbled on her ear, she giggled. "Stop Sesshomaru, you know what that does to me." I placed my head into the crook of her neck as I slipped my hand under the covers and laid it on her stomach. It had grown once more, and the pups were kicking. "Sesshomaru why did you wake them?" she turned so that she was facing me. I shrugged as I continued to feel around they started to kick even harder, Mizuki knocked my hand away.

"Come on mommy get up!" Rin begged, grabbing her arm and pulling having failed miserably.

"What's the occasion?" she laughed standing up. Rin stopped and laid her head on Mizuki's stomach. Mizuki and I watched her face relaxed. Rin was excited about the babies and I couldn't wait until they arrived either. Today I think its best that we spend some quality time together. I had sent Rin off to her room to get dress, Mizuki decided to go take a shower. While myself on the other hand went back to my study to work on a few boundary reforms. As I worked I heard small little feet run down the hallway and stop in front of the door. I laid my pen down and walked over to the door, Rin was standing outside wearing an orange and green dress with matching shoes. I lifted her into my arms.

"You look pretty Rin." I said. I looked up again; Mizuki was standing at the door with a white dress that went down to her knees. It hugged her body quite well, especially her stomach. The bump looked much bigger than what it did. She placed her hands on the arch of her back.

"I'm getting pretty big, soon I won't be able to see my feet." She laughed. I moved a strand of hair back from in front of her face. She looked absolutely stunning, and she was mine.

I escorted Mizuki and Rin down to breakfast, Mizuki on my left arm and Rin in my right. It seemed just for the moment that everything was going exactly how I wanted it to. I was really happy, Rin was happy and Mizuki was happy. As we entered the dining room, my family had already taken their seats and was eating. I pulled out the chair for Mizuki and Rin instead of having myself sit next to father, I decided to sit in between Rin and Mizuki so that I would have the opportunity to have them both next to me.

After we all finished eating I decided to take the girls into the city, Rin loved the city more than anything. Her face was glued to the window as we passed the large buildings and the people. Mizuki on the other hand wasn't so much excited, she had grown up in the city so she knew the ups and downs. The limousine slowed down as it came to a stop. The driver stepped out and opened the door for us, as we stepped out a crowd of people started to form. People had taken out their phones and started taking pictures.

"Prince Sesshomaru!"

"Look it's the prince! Who are the two girls with him?!"

"Isn't that the little girl that he adopted for years ago, I thought he had gotten rid of her!"

"Why would he adopt a filthy human? It's probably one of his servants." The comments continued and they started get worst, most of them were usually about Rin. I felt a tug on my pants, Rin was staring up at me her eyes full of questions and confusion.

"Sesshomaru-sama, what are they talking about?" Rin asked. I glanced over my shoulder at Mizuki who I could tell was trying so hard to hold back from attacking the people who were talking about us. Especially Rin.

I turned my attention back to Rin. "Nothing Rin, don't listen to what they're saying." I quickly picked Rin up grabbed Mizuki's arm and rushed away from the crowd. This was supposed to be a relaxing day for us, a time for bonding. I should've had Ricardo come along, nothing was going to ruin this day nothing at all.

"I know a place where we can go." Mizuki said. She grabbed my arm and led me into a nearby alley.

"Mommy Rin doesn't like this place… it's scary." Rin cried as she wrapped her arms tighter around my neck.

"It's okay; I used this shortcut all the time. It goes to the park." Mizuki smiled. Mizuki was indeed correct within a short while, we we're right across the street from the park. I placed Rin down she jumped up and down excitedly. The traffic was quite heavy, and so was the crowd. I tried my best to keep up with Rin and Mizuki but soon enough I found myself standing alone in a crowd of people. My heart racing.

Where was Rin?! I looked around panicking. She had to be close.

Started to pace around, it caught people's attention and they began to notice me. Hopefully this would attract Mizuki and Rin towards me. I heard all kinds of shouting and then I heard Rin's voice, she was trying to get through the crowd. I saw her small little hand reach out for me.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" she cried, I looked around trying to find her.

"Move you stupid girl! The prince doesn't want to see you!" a fat man yelled kicking Rin in the face and pushing her out of the crowd and into the street. My anger started to rise in my body no one was to touch my Rin as so much to bring harm to her, I approached the man who smiled weakly before taking off his baseball cap and bowing.

"Mi'lord! It's a—ack!" I quickly gripped his throat lifting him off the ground, he struggled. His face started to change colors from pale to blue. The crowd of people started to back up in fear, some people ran for their lives. Pathetic. I was going to finish this man off until I hear Mizuki's scream. I looked over and saw Mizuki screaming and pointing at something in the middle of the street. Dropping the man he started to crawl away until I kicked him in the face knocking him unconscious. I ran to see what she was pointing at. Rin was lying unconscious in the street, and a semi-truck was coming. It wasn't until it was an inch away that I quickly rushed and got Rin out the street. I sharp pain rushed through my left leg as I continued to the other side before collapsing on the fence. My ankle had been completely dislocated. The truck's front tire had run over my leg as I was rescuing Rin. I looked down at her in my arms, she had a few cuts and bruises on her face but other than that she was fine. Mizuki ran up to us and dropped down next to me, she examined Rin before taking a good look at me.

"Sesshomaru! Your leg!" she gasped. I nodded and shifted slightly. My leg throbbed. "I'll call an ambulance." Mizuki pulled out a cellular touch screen phone and began to dial, as soon as she told them it was me that was injured they were already on their way. When they made it, they placed me up on the stretcher along with Rin who was still unconscious. They asked Mizuki if she wanted to come but she told me she would meet me at the hospital.

"Mizuki, I'm sorry about today, it wasn't what I had planned it would turn out to be." Mizuki nodded. She looked down at Rin who was lying in my arms.

"You two mean the most to me, I'd do anything for you." I said. She smirked; I could hear her heart race with fear. I sighed. This wasn't a day that I wanted Rin to remember at all.

~Mizuki~

After the ambulance I called Inuyasha and told him to meet us at the hospital, he started to ask a bunch of questions but I didn't feel like answering anything at the moment.

"Just tell the Emperor and Empress to meet us, there was an accident…" I said. Inuyasha continued to ask questions until I hung up on him. I then walked back to the limousine; after I got in I dropped my head into my hands and started to cry. Ever since I came into the prince's life bad stuff has happened, maybe it was best that I just go away and never come back. Once the pups are born he could have them and raise them how he wants them to be raised. I gave out a long deep sigh. Everything was my fault; Sesshomaru and Rin were perfectly fine without me in their lives.
