To Protect,
By Winterwing3000
He never did understand his father's philosophy.
Sesshomaru, do you have someone you want to protect?
What was there to protect? He was heartless, a prince with ice of blood. He was a ruler, who mustn't be sidetracked by anything, or else, he would be viewed as weak. He cared for none, and need no one. Rivals come and go, but he needed no aid. Everyone feared him, which was enough to keep them away.
To protect? This Sesshomaru protects no one.
But… after he met her… things changed, by the slightest.
She feared him none. She treated him with the utmost care. She cared not of the many rumors of them. She followed him with the deepest devotion and loyalty, which was hard to find these years. She merely smiles at their physical differences, at their ancestral backgrounds, saying that they're only something that describes them, but not really them at the same time.
She told him that she wanted to be here for him, forever.
Not that he needed her company, or smiles, or devotion. However… why then has he kept her by his side for so many years?
Is that so? Hm… He could still hear his father's smirk.
Maybe… it was the urge within him to protect her.
What other reason could he provide for the many times that he had saved her?
But, perhaps it was in his blood. Surely, there was no doubt.
His family line was cursed. This chain… is abnormal and it stretched on. There had to be a limit… but he could find none.
His father has taken in a human mate, as did his half-brother, disgustingly. And now… he has fallen into the trap, mating to a human female…
But to him, she was no human.
She was someone who would always be there for him…
"My Lady, let us go."
"Of course, my Lord."
Rin followed Sesshomaru to Ah-Un, walking away from the large skeleton of the Dog General, InuTaisho.
No, he has someone to protect now…Note: Rin is nearing 29, Sesshomaru is 700+
