Hi all! I'm back again, with all these 'substantiations'….. What can I say…? I'm a sessXrin pairing freak! LOL! ^^


One fact that popped into my head when I was writing my other fiction 'Landlord of the West' was that, Rumiko T had planned it out well and has purposely kept Rin away from Sesshomaru and has her in the village. I mean, just think about it…. If Rin is to be with Sesshomaru the whole time as she turns into a woman, still Sesshomaru may never notice the woman she has become. Even though he would have noticed her physical growth, he would still see her as a child. But if she is kept away from him, such that he will be seeing her only once in a while, only then Sesshomaru will notice the change in Rin better i.e. her physical and mental maturity. That is only good because only then Sesshomaru's feelings for Rin will undergo the romantic transition. If Rin had been with him all along, then he'd only see her as a child. The transition of his feelings would take more time or it may never even happen.

If Sesshomaru visits Rin after few months or almost an year, then when he beholds the girl who has grown physically and mentally, chances are more that he might see her as a 'woman' she has become and not just his ward.

ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT REVELATION:-

I had this discussion with another sessXrin fan RinSesshy, and we all owe it to her for making the following 2 reminders:-

1. In an interview made in Chinese that was about Rin and Sesshomaru, Rumiko T has stated that Sesshomaru never saw himself as a father (YAAAY! *happy squeals*). She said that Sesshomaru found Rin as an interesting human. (YIPPEE!)

Now let's see…. I don't recall Sesshomaru finding anyone interesting other than himself…. Well, you could argue that he found Kagura interesting, but, it is not so….. Quite often than not, Sesshomaru had seen Kagura more as an enemy or as some source of trouble, particularly after she had kidnapped Rin in order to lure Sesshomaru into Naraku's trap. So apparently Rin is probably the one and only living organism that Sesshomaru took interest in, and that too, so much that he became instinctively protective of her.

2. In the anime filler episode (episode number: 75) where Sesshomaru fought the panther devas, one incident happened which made all the sessXrin lovers squeal in delight. When Sesshomaru instructed, "Rin listen"

Rin: "Yes?" PROMPT!

Sesshomaru: "You are to wait here with Ah-Un"

Rin blushing as she said: "Alright! I won't move from here!" PROMPT!

Rin BLUSHED! She had actually blushed when she answered him.

The best part was, Rin's blush was much clearer and more visible. Just check that episode out and you all will agree…. These small things suggest the premature crush Rin has for her lord and the feelings Rin will most likely develop towards Sesshomaru, when she grows up ^^

And coming to the recent-most hot topic of Inuyasha fandom:

You all would have read the one-shot manga Rumiko T has published recently, in february 2013. Sesshomaru's actions and Rin's reaction has made all the sessXrin fans shed happy-tears.

As for those who feel that Rin and Kohaku are the intended couple, I'm sorry, but….. that is not the case. Have you noted in that one-shot manga where, Kohaku entered the hut after counter-attacking the demons, he called only his sister, Sango and none other. He was bothered about her and mostly of her. Rin and Sango called Kohaku in unison. He did not seem to have noticed that Rin was even there, till she called him. So till now, Kohaku does not seem to have any special affiliation towards Rin, nor does Rin seem to have any towards Kohaku.

Well, as far as Inuyasha series is concerned, Inuyasha calls for Kagome and vice versa, every time, to ensure that the other is safe. The same goes for Miroku and Sango, because they also look out for each other. These are the hints dropped in by the author that they're the intended couples of the series. But we don't find such hints between Kohaku and Rin….. (Whew! Well, that's a relief!) Which means that they're not the intended couple, or….. at least for now, they're not.

THE BEST PART: In that one-shot manga, in order to PROTECT RIN from a lowly demon's attack, Sesshomaru had actually gone to the village to protect her. When Rin saw Sesshomaru floating above the hut in which she was in, she called in overwhelmed joy, "AH! LORD SESSHOMARU!". Rin is happy as always to see her lord, which is a confirmation that her love and loyalty for him is unchanged and must only have increased over the past three years from the time she was left in the village.

Sango's thoughts: "Has he come to protect us?!" has confirmed the fact that Sesshomaru has come only 'TO PROTECT'. YAY!

Well, it is quite obvious that Sesshomaru has come only to protect Rin, because he never really bothers much about the lives of Inuyasha's gang and the humans at the village. He never goes out of his way to save anyone's life other than Rin's. He did not even take it for granted that, Inuyasha gang and Kaede were there to protect his Rins's life. Despite the fact that he has left Rin in the protection of Inuyasha gang and Kaede, he does not trust Rin's safety to anyone but himself. That is why he chose to personally attend to this task, although there is nothing much for him to worry about, because it was only a lowly demon that was attacking, which he has said himself. He treasures Rin's life so much!

Also, please note in the one-shot manga that, when Shippou asked for the help of Sesshomaru and Jaken, Jaken yelled that, "Lord Sesshomaru has no concern for what happens to a human village!". Of course Jaken's right, Sesshomaru was not concerned about the safety of the human village but the safety of his ward, Rin. Jaken knew that too well, so he has indirectly affirmed that Sesshomaru has come to protect ONLY RIN. So intrepretation to "Lord Sesshomaru has no concern for what happens to a human village!" is "Lord Sesshomaru has concern for what happens to Rin alone!"

So protecting the village was not Sesshomaru's motive, else, he would have gone after the demon and exterminated it with one swipe of his Bakusaiga, for good. He only stood as a protective barrier to the hut in which Rin was there, as if threatening the demon, "What you want and what you do is none of my concern as long as you keep away from my Rin"

Well just think about it! If Rin is to remain at the village or elsewhere at the care of her husband (if at all Rin ends up marrying anyone other than Sesshomaru), he can't just keep on calling on her or go to the place where she is, in order to protect her from various demons' attacks…. That'd be too much trouble for him, because, you can't say he'd be on time to save Rin every time a demon kidnaps or attacks her, right…? What if he fails to reach her before it's too late…?

I truly believe, he WILL NOT and CANNOT trust Rin's safety to anyone as much as to let her get married off to someone else. He'd rather have Rin by his side so that he can protect her life with his own. If Sesshomaru chooses to be THAT protective, he might as well have Rin with himself, rather than with any other. So it is very likely that Rin would join Sesshomaru when she grows up. DUH! That must be one of the most obvious things to happen in Inuyasha series, like…. The union of Kagome and Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango, Kouga and Ayame, etc.,


I know, I know, I think too much…. WAAAY too much! SORRY! I'm going crazy over here, I'd better stop here before I lose the last bit of sanity that is still there in my head…

Thanks for reading! ^^

Thank you RinSesshy, for your inputs!

In case I unearth even more substantiations to this adorable couple, I will surely update this fiction! ^^

As for the Inuyasha one shot manga released in Feb 2013, I think the title is 'since then'...
