“Mimirou! Don't stray so far!” A much older Rin called as the little girl twirled around in the meadow. “The flowers are so pretty!” Mimirou giggled. Rin sighed softly lying on her back in the bed of flowers.

Mimirou's curious face invaded her vision, her bright laughing golden eyes, her pale hair sparkled in the sunlight. “What?” Rin asked. “Kohaku brings you pretty flowers…” The little girl began.

“So?” Rin blushed slightly. “So…” The child hemmed and hawed. “…are you going to go away and marry him?”

Rin looked at her through several minutes then smiled crookedly. “Don't worry, Mimi-chan, even if I do go and marry Kohaku, I promise to always stay close by okay?”

Mimirou smiled brightly jumping on her surrogate sister's stomach. “Whoa, calm down there!” Rin began. “Rin-chan…” Mimirou began sitting on Rin's stomach. “What?”

“…Do I…look like my daddy?” the little girl asked. Rin looked up at her. “What did my daddy look like?…I don't remember…”

Suddenly another figure came into view, coming up from the village. “Enough rough housing you two” Fawks smiled.

“MAMA!!!!!!” Mimirou smiled launching herself into the elder woman's arms. “Have you been behaving for Rin-chan?” Fawks smiled. “Mmhm!” Mimirou smiled.

“My lady…” Rin began, her voice held an air of uncertainty. “Mimi-chan is curious…about her lord father…”

Fawks looked down at the little girl, who blushed, scuffling her feet in the grass. She then smiled, “Come here, Mimi-chan, there is something I want you to see”

The child took her mother's hand as they journeyed deep into the forest. The three soon came to a shrine built within a tree surrounded by four pillars. Rin immediately went before the tree and began to pray. “Mama?” Mimirou asked.

“This is your father's grave…” Fawks replied. The little girl looked at it in wonder. “Your father was a great demon lord who ruled over the west…You have his eyes” She smiled at the girl. “Wow…” Mimirou gasped.

Fawks fell to her knees holding Mimirou in her arms. “He gave his life for ours, Mimi-chan, I don't want you to ever forget that…”

Mimirou nodded proudly, pulling out of her mother's arms, she kneeled before the shrine to pray.

“Don't worry, daddy, I gonna be strong! I'm gonna protect mama and Rin for you. So you have nothing to worry about up in heaven…”

Fawks smiled tears in her eyes, she then gazed up at the sky.

`Can you see her? See what our love has created? Please watch over and protect her forever…my beloved Sessho-maru…'
