I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 5

She was illuminated by the lightning as he sat there waiting for her. Time had changed her, she was taller, though she was small still. His eyes wandered over the small figure before him, her black hair was still long; towards her waist, her figure looked fragile and frail; one good gust of wind would blow her over. The lightning danced through the night sky again and again his eyes wandered over his Rin. Her large brown eyes were assessing him, some things never changed but his eyes snapped right onto her throat where he saw the minute scar where her vocal chords were.

"He took your voice," Sesshomaru said coldly as he glared at the scar.

She nodded slightly. Sesshomaru wanted to destroy that little bastard all over as he gestured her to sit with him. Her small form sat across him then, he slid the pad he had for her to write on as he watched her.

Rin smiled at him as she sat across from him, he watched as she wrote down her questions, no doubt she had many a questions for him. He didn't mind answering her questions, after all it had taken him years to find her again. No doubt Rin had many questions, he had the answers as he assessed his girl again and she was still his.

Last year he had discovered where Rin had disappeared to, and he had discovered why it had taken years to find her again rather than the week he thought it would originally take. Rin's stepfather had no right to take her, even InuTaisho had agreed on that pointed as Sesshomaru had searched frantically for the girl. Sesshomaru had only been twenty-one in college, part-time bartending, on the yōkai baseball team and lacrosse, he had also been dating Sara Asano then because he had been in an arranged marriage with the woman. Still he always made time to be with Rin, he helped her with her homework, drove her to her recitals, went to her plays and musicals, took her to her stores, took her to dinner, and overall took care of his girl. In exchange Rin went to every game of his, she went to big important dinners with him, and he got his best friend with unwavering loyalty and love.

Sara hadn't liked how close he was with Rin at first but even Sara's stubbornness had melted away to Rin's persistence and smile. But it was also the reason his relationship; if it could be called that; had fallen apart. it was only after Rin was gone that Sara and InuTaisho had come to some…interesting conclusions about him and Rin. They were probably right too, mostly because it was a yōkai or daiyōkai's beast which picked their mate, both his father and now 'friend' Sara were certain Sesshomaru's obsession with Rin had more to do with what his beast wanted than him. Sesshomaru hadn't argued because they were right about his beast being terrified of Rin being hurt, in danger, alone, or worse but he had a sort of 'bond' with Rin which told him she was alive.

Ten years hadn't dampened his care for the girl, and in the past year everything he felt for Rin had been heightened once he realized where she was and who she was with. But the who of this actually explained a lot to him, the Onigumos were good at setting up demonic barriers which were all but invisible and kept all who were concealed invisible. Still, it hadn't stopped him from finding Rin and then planning on how to get her back to him where she'd be safe again.

He had killed Hakudoshi in cold blood on a new moon night when he had been screwing his cousin Kanna. His prey had been horribly drunk when he had staggered out of Kanna's place, reeking of sex and drugs. Hakudoshi had never stood a chance against Sesshomaru when he was sober but when he was intoxicated he was even more pitiful of an opponent. Sesshomaru's poison had half melted Hakudoshi before it killed him, and Sesshomaru had felt nothing as he watched the bastard die a slow, painful death that night.

That night Sesshomaru had been the last thing Hakudoshi had seen.

Once Hakudoshi was dead it was a simple matter of extracting Rin away from the Onigumos and the authorities watching the Onigumos. Simple, but he had hated admitting he'd need to go to his younger, stupider half brother and friends for help. Inuyasha was all for helping; for towards the end of Rin being around he had grown fond of her and if Inuyasha was willing to help everyone else was eager to leap into the trouble. Kagome had switched places with Rin on the train after Miroku had given Rin the package and plan. Inuyasha had saved Kagome on the train by meeting up with her a stop after they had dropped off Rin to Shippo. Shippo had given Rin to Jaken and Jaken had brought Rin to him. It had all worked out smoothly and now he was looking at his Rin sitting across from him writing down her questions.

It felt so good to have her here again, his beast was all but growling in delight at having Rin with him again. Sesshomaru had long since accepted she was the only one who tamed his beast and him with little to no ease because she accepted all of who he was. She didn't fear him, she didn't run away from him and she had loved all of him. And he looked her over, he could see she still loved him.

"Rin," he said carefully.

She looked up at him then with a slight smile on her lips. She handed him the pad of paper.

Carefully he took it and read over her questions, then he looked at her.

Do you know who killed Hakudoshi?

"Yes, I killed Hakudoshi," he answered the first question.

She lunged across the desk, he caught her mostly because if he didn't they'd both topple to the ground. Her lips smashed onto his, which had him freezing on spot.

She pulled back with a smile, he felt his mind go to mush from her simple kiss. His beast wanted more.
