Summary Sesshoumaru finds Rin in the future
He had been searching for her for hundreds of years. Another hour would make no difference. He relaxed on the sand the rays of the autumn sun beating down on his human body. It was not that he really needed to rest. For some reason he needed to shut his eyes and forget.
Forget Rin's last moments. Forget all the trouble his brother had been since he moved into the Western Shiro after his wife died. Forget the long and fruitless search for Rin's reincarnation. Forget Japan. Leaving the island, the Western lands and everything else that had been his world behind.
Instead, he had come here. Drawn by forces that he did not understand Rin was here somewhere among the three hundred million souls who made up America. More particularly she was here somewhere in California. Los Angeles in particular. All for the dream of Rin.
He had his brother for the dream. If Inuyasha had not regaled him with dreams of the future, he would never have come here. The boy told him of a future where Kagome, the reincarnated Kagome lived until she came back to Inuyasha to live and die with him.
It gave him hope that Rin was here too. Reincarnated in the future. .Once fixed on Rin, the idea of seeing her again just would not let him go. He would search the world over for the past five hundred years. Leaving hearth and home behind, with only Rin's star to guide him.
The winds of autumn were whipping the cold California surf. The beach itself was deserted, save for a few beach bums. The students had returned to their classrooms, their dreams of summer shattered by the September song.
He thought to shut his eyes for just a moment. His peace was broken by a splash of cold water across the face. He blinked and saw a young girl staring at him. A bucket still in her hand. She seemed genuinely surprised that he awakened.
He rose from shaking the pile of sand in which he had been buried up to his neck. The girl did not seem intimidated, but her attention was diverted from the daiyoukai by a sudden draft. She twirled angrily to confront a small dog who had tugged down her bikini bottom.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, give me back my bottom." She yelled as she chased the dog down the beach Bare bottom and all.
Sesshoumaru laughed at the sight. The first laugh that had uttered from his lips in centuries. Rin was alive and well. Throwing water in his face just as she had the first time they met. The rest was unimportant.
He had his Rin back again. The one who buried him up to his neck in sand. The one who was not afraid to throw water in his face to revive him. The one who looked so cute running bare-bottomed down the beach chasing the dog who stole her bikini bottom. Life was good. Rin was back in his life. He could breathe again
