Summary Sesshoumaru remembers Rin

He stood by the grave long after the short service for Rin's soul. Everyone was gone, but the only one he missed was her. Would that he could have called her back from heaven. Once he had saved her soul. When he foolishly threw her life away for a sword in hell, his mother had graciously returned her to him scolding him for thinking himself a god.

She had once asked him if she died one day would he remember her. That day he had scoffed at her. She would never die. He did not belief in death. It would never touch him. Or so he thought.

Rin's death had touched him three times. Twice her life had been given back to him. Once by Tenseiga and then by the Meidou Seki. His mother had warned him that would no third. time.

At last he had learned the lesson that his father and mother tried to teach him. He knew the fear of death. When Rin breathed her last telling him she loved him, he thought would go mad. What would he do without her. She had been his rock and his strength. Without her he would have to muddle through someone. At least she lived on through their children.

She had begged him to find love again, but she should have known better. Unlike his father or brother, there was room in his heart only for Rin. He would cherish her until the end of the time.

If the Buddhists were right he would see her again. He did not think so. There was only one Rin. and he would never forget her.
