An Endless Journey Of Love ~ Sesshomaru X Reader

Rin's Birthday and My Realized Feelings

A week goes by, the snow has finally stopped, but the snow that has fallen still glistens on the ground. A month is almost over, and winter becomes a bit closer to its end. I have managed to finish the song that I started a week ago, I also composed another song, it's a special song for a special occasion. I wake up one day with a stretch and a smile on my face. The morning and afternoon goes on as usual, I go and wash up, braid my hair and help out around the village. When the late afternoon comes, I head to the big hut, Kagome, Sango, and Lady Kaede were cooking up a feast. I helped them out and talked and smiled.

"I'll go get Rin, I think it's about time?" I asked Sango.

"Yea, it's almost ready, the guys should be back soon as well." Sango says setting out bowls and plates.

I go out and fetch Rin,she was busy this morning looking after Sango's twins and son with Shippo. She went back to her room when the afternoon came around. I arrive at her hut and lift up the curtain.

"Hey Rin, Happy Birthday!" I say to her as I walked in.

"Thank you____________!!" She says turning from her mirror and smiling at me.

I stop in front of her and kneel down. She's holding a brush and on the little table behind her is a gold hair pin with a dove on it.

"Did Lord Sesshomaru drop by earlier?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes he did, he gave me this hair pin as a birthday present, he wished me a happy birthday and left." Rin says looking at the hairpin.

"It's beautiful, you should wear it to dinner, I think it fits the occasion perfectly. It would be nice to have Lord Sesshomaru here to celebrate your birthday as well. You're turning 18 today, into an adult. I think this hairclip is a perfect gift to show that." I say taking the hairclip and looking at it.

"You're right, unfortunately, Lord Sesshomaru's not on the best of terms with the others. Uhm____________ can I ask you to style my hair before we go?" Rin asks me.

"Of course, it's been a long time hasn't it?" I say with a bright smile.

Rin turns around and I take the brush and brush her hair.

"Rin, since you're an adult now. Have you thought of marriage?" I asked her remembering the way my mother asked me on my birthday.

"I haven't really, Lady Kaede, Sango, and Kagome have mentioned it a few times to me before when I was younger. They would say that I would find a nice young man and fall in love as I get older. I never gave it much thought because I was young, but I suppose I should start thinking about it now since I'm at that age." Rin says quietly.

"I understand how you feel Rin, my mother asked me the same question on my birthday. I told her it's not something that I want right now because I have goals that I want to accomplish first, and that was to travel. My parents didn't force me, but I don't know what Kagome, Lady Kaede, and Sango would think in this matter. I suppose the important thing is, love and marriage isn't something to be rushed. Don't force yourself to fall in love if you don't feel like it, and don't put marriage in priority if you can't find love before it. Alright?" I say to Rin while pinning the last braid of her hair into a flower.

"You're right___________, I'll give it some more thoughts." Rin says turning to me.

Her hair is styled into a more mature look, but still show her youthfulness. It's sectioned into three parts, I twisted the two top sections back into curls and pinned it back, I let the bottom layer freely fall over her shoulders and gave her a few braids and pinned some up in shapes of flowers.

"Beautiful, now can't forget this special gift from Lord Sesshomaru." I say taking the hair pin and placed it gently into her hair.

"Thank you__________." Rin says hugging me.
