CHAPTER 3: Love and 'No' Don't Mix

Sesshomaru watched her leave. 'I hope I'm doing the right thing by allowing her to go with me.' Although, unknown to him, it wasn't.

Later that day, Rin had changed into her most valued kimono, which had a white middle that formed pink then red at the sleeves with white flowers and vines sewed comfortably at the ends of the sleeves. Some of the servants said that it matched her beautiful lips and slight rosy cheeks, she even noticed Sesshomaru's long stares at her every time she wore it, and it very much pleased her. She combed her hair straight then tied it at a very low ponytail with a red ribbon. After Rin was finished, she ran towards the door of the castle to meet Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru found it hard to turn his gaze away. 'She looks so beautiful in that kimono; I just can't look away…No! I won't let this happen again! After that night, I won't let myself fall for her. But then again…NO! I won't take the chance of hurting Rin.'  It's funny, I didn't know we were going to a wedding." Sesshomaru teased slightly.

Rin giggled, "Oh stop Sesshomaru, you know I want to look my best when I'm with you."

Sesshomaru smiled to himself at her loyalty. 'She has so much loyalty to me. She would be a perfect mate- Wait, no…I do-not need to think of such things, she is my loyal and most trusted ward. I raised her from a rambunctious, hyperactive, carefree child of 8years old to a proper, elegant, attractive young woman. She should look at me as a father and I should look at her as a daughter, but my pure demon blood has stunted my ageing, so she is almost as old as me in human form.'

Sesshomaru sat upon Ah-Un's back and pulled Rin onto his lap. Ah-Un immediately took flight. Rin waved back at Jaken, who stayed with the soldiers and servants and helped guard the castle. It would take a few hours before they arrived at Inuyasha's village, so Rin made herself comfortable on Sesshomaru's lap. She snuggled her head and hands into Sesshomaru's chest, which made it hard on him to concentrate on Ah-Un when he had to control those lustful urges to land Ah-Un somewhere and take her. He despised those urges more than anything.

After about 4 hours of riding on Ah-Un's back through the air, they finally arrived at a small, but humble village. Without a care for the villagers' stares, Sesshomaru walked through the village, holding Ah-Un's reigns with Rin walking along side him. To Rin's surprise, not many people looked at them. 'I guess they don't see any harm in Sesshomaru because I'm walking by his side.' Rin thought.  The village was full of happy children playing and happy couples walking together. Just like a dream. Suddenly, there was a thud and a moan and Sesshomaru stopped walking. A small child was playing and didn't notice that there was someone walking a little too close to him and that's when the boy collided with Sesshomaru's leg.

The girl rubbed her head and looked up. He had white hair with white puppy dog-ears on the top of her head and she had chocolate eyes.

"Sawy mistoo, I didn't see ya' there"- the boy stopped talking when he opened her eyes and saw Sesshomaru standing over him. "Whoooooaaaaaa." The boy whispered in awe.

"You got da' same hair cuwa (color) as mine!" The boy stood up.

"So, you must be my nephew." Sesshomaru said, peering at the small half-breed child.

"Whoa, den dat means"- He was cut off by another voice.

Moroha , I told you not to go running off like that." Another boy said. She  was a bit taller than the half-demon girl named moroha. The other boy was human and he had slick black hair with chocolate eyes. He then looked up at Sesshomaru.

"You look familiar mister, wait… are you Sesshomaru? You match the description that my Aunt Kagome and Uncle Inuyasha told me about." The older boy said.
