SESSHOMARU P.O.V.

"YOU JERK! LORD SESSHOMARU NO BAKA!" the human yells at me. She starts crying, then flinches and runs off. Wait; did I say my name...? I think to myself as the scent hit me, Rin's scent. "Uh... I was with Rin..." Jaken says his head in his hand. I look at him with expressionless eyes.

"Yes, I see that now. Jaken, you take Min and go back to the compound." He bows and he and Min disappear. She would come back. She needed her bow and quiver. They had dropped off her when she slid to the ground. I hop in a tree and wait. I close my eyes and listen, I can hear humans. Disgusting, I think snarling to myself. But what about Rin; She is human to...

A few minutes later Rin walks into the clearing. How had I not seen the resemblance? She still looks exactly the same, but well, older. "Well, Kaede was right. He came back, but I beat her to the punch. Lord Sesshomaru doesn't remember me, and I am sure he doesn't want to." Rin says to the wind as she picks up her bow and quiver. "Who says I don't remember you?" I say dropping from the tree. She looked startled for a moment but shook herself out of it. "Hello, Lord Sesshomaru." She says formally, void of all emotion, and for some reason that cut me worse than all of the injury's I had ever received.

"Glad to see you to, Rin." I say expressionlessly. She took a shaky breath.

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." She walked over and picked up an arrow that was beside me on the ground. It had Min's blood on it. Rin had become strong. It made me smile... Suddenly she drops the quiver and throws her arms around me. That was stupid. I could have killed her, if she hadn't put all my attention on that damn quiver and if it was anyone else I would kill them. She starts to cry again pulling me from my thoughts, "I thought you left me to die here." She sobs into my shoulder, "I never expected to see you again." her arms tightened around me. I wrap my arms around her. Everything about her so familiar... So comfortable it had been a while since I last felt this way so we stood there hugging.

"Rin, I will be leaving again." I say breaking up this warm that had begun to spread in my chest. The warmth I lost the day I left Rin in the village.

"Yes, I know, please stay with me a little longer... just a little longer..." she whispers.

I don't say I know Rin understands. I just don't want to see Rin cry again. I have always hated it. My arms tighten around her. I don't want to let go, but when I do, I look in Rin's eyes and see everything I had tried to run from. The memories of happiness... Happiness that I had created, one of peace and kindness of when I protected her, our past; I kiss her forehead, "Good-bye Rin."

"L-Lord Sesshomaru..." Rin asks I glance at her, "Will you ever come back?" she asks hope shinning clearly in her eyes.

"Maybe, Rin, remember something though"

"What is it?"

"Your special, you always have been and always will be." I lay my hand on her cheek. She takes it in hers and holds it there and smiles.

"Good-bye again Lord Sesshomaru, I look forward to seeing you again if I ever get the chance." She stands on her tip-toes and kisses my cheek, getting dangerously close to my lips. "At least I was able to see you again." She smiles and I grabbed her quiver and put it on her back. She grabs her bow and smiles back at me before leaving.

Sorry for the short chappy, I'll make a longer one next time!
