Every year on the anniversary of her death, he would come to stand in the field where Kagura's body dissolved. He came even after he was mated to Rin. Rin never begrudged him his time alone. She had been there all of the times Kagura had been around. Kagura had been in love with Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had never been able to express what he felt to Kagura. At the end the fact that he had come for her had made her smile. It was the only time during her brief appearance on earth that she had been happy. Sesshoumaru had difficulty expressing what he felt about Kagura. He knew that she had been happy at the end. Her life had meaning to him. When Moryoumaru had mocked him saying that her life had no meaning, he told the incarnation that it was up to him to say whether her life had meaning or not .Tenseiga had felt his compassion. It knew what he felt even though he was not able to express it.

She's like the wind through my tree

She rides the night next to me

She leads me through moonlight

Only to burn me with the sun

She's taken my heart

But she doesn't know what she's done

And so he waits for her on the day of her death. He knows that she has come when he feels the warm wind caressing his cheek. His perfect hair becomes windblown as the gentle breezes from the fan waft the air. He feels the urge to laugh as her felt light touch tickles his ribs. She probably would get a great deal of satisfaction out of knowing that she had made the mighty taiyoukai smile. He can feel her touching the most intimate parts of his body. Somehow he did not feel that he was unfaithful to Rin when he was standing in the field on his annual visit to Kagura. It helped both of them to remember how he had opened himself up to compassion. Without the experience he went through with Kagura he never would have been able to express the extreme sorrow that he felt when Rin had died in hell. Rin was grateful that Sesshoumaru's experience with Kagura was ultimately what allowed him to open himself to her. He could not express his love to Kagura, but he was finally able to show Rin how he felt because of his experience with Kagura.

Feel her breath on my face

Her body close to me

Can't look in her eyes

She's out of my league

Just a fool to believe

I have anything she needs

She's like the wind

Both of them moved on. Kagura finally got her freedom thanks to Naraku. Sesshoumaru was mated to Rin. But on this day, they could share the bond between their bodies and souls that was denied when Kagura wore the body of an incarnation of Naraku and Sesshoumaru was the aristocratic assassin who stood silently and never expressed his love for any being. Rin knew that it was bond that could never be broken. She accepted that on one day of the year a woman would caress her mates body as intimately as anything she ever shared. If it made her mate happy to commune with the wind that been Kagura one day a year she was willing to make the sacrifice because she knew that on the other three hundred sixty four days of the year, the mighty taiyoukai belonged to her body and soul.
