ShihouinYuushirou
Rin is no longer the little girl who ran barefoot chasing butterflies. Three years after Sesshoumaru left her in the village of humans, the blood on her hands is no longer from childhood scrapes-her body is changing, and with it, her feelings for the Lord who once saved her from death.
While Kagome and Inuyasha struggle to understand what it means to be a couple in an ancient world, Rin finds herself trapped in a game of silences and longing. She has the safety of the village and the steadfast friendship of Kohaku, but her heart beats to the rhythm of a name she barely dares to whisper.
When Sesshoumaru returns to claim not just the village, but Rin's very destiny, she must decide: is she a woman free to choose her own path, or will she forever remain under the dominion of the Lord of the West?
