Disclaimer:I do NOT own Inuyasha... Or Sesshomaru... If I did, he'd be in my basement, putting the lotion on his skin.

Humming a soft song a smooth hand pulled plants from the earth quickly tucking them into the small basket she had brought with her that morning. Inhaling the fresh clean air of morning a smile crossed pink lips as she as her thoughts drifted back to the day before…

He'd come back… he'd finally come back.

After nearly 8 years, he'd come back to her. True, he was wounded, covered in blood, his bangs were matted and his face was dirty, his clothing was ripped and his armor was dented, but he was back.

When he'd spoken to her at age fourteen, he'd given no reason for his departure, only saying that it may be years before she would see him again. At least he'd left Jaken with her, now that Kaede was dead.

When Myoga had come some two years later claiming he'd gone 'insane', traveling back to his father's grave and stripping the bones of the demonic armor he'd been wearing at the time of his death, she'd known there must be a reason.

When Myoga told tales of his foolishly challenging every taiyoukai in Nippon, even when they were more powerful, or had strong allies, she began to wonder…

When he'd finally staggered forth from the woods yesterday, more wounded than she'd ever seen him, save for their first encounter, she'd rushed forward as he fell to his knees. He'd whispered,

"Rin…" He'd whispered, "There are none left… who can oppose… this…Sesshomaru…" Before he'd passed out, his head buried against her.

"Then it is as my lord has always wanted." She'd whispered, running fingers through his high ponytail, removing various debris.

She'd had Jaken summon Inuyasha to carry him to the hut that now belonged to her.

She'd removed his armor and, blushingly, removed his haori and kosode, rolled up his hakama and went to work. She was an expert healer after all, years of training in both human and demon medicine had served her well.

She'd wrapped his wounds, cleaned him up the best she could, and settled in for the night, with a feeling of peace. He was going to be alright.

Now she gathered herbs, and went and set them in the hut. Surely, when he woke, he'd be hungry…

She took the bow and arrow from its place, standing against the door and left to hunt.

When she'd killed the dear, she skinned it, but left it whole, remembering from a (at the time terrifying experience of coming upon him eating) childhood experience, that he liked his prey whole, raw, and uncleaned.

He began to stir and she was at his side immediately, ready with water to douse his head should he be feral upon waking… it had worked before.

Instead, he groaned, and called her name.

"RRIIIINNNN."

She hovered over him, her features soft with care and concern. There was no one here now, Jaken had been sent away, to give their lord his privacy while he ailed. He wouldn't want anyone to see him in such a state, she was sure.

"I'm here my lord."

A weak clawed hand reached for her, touching her cheek, as if testing that she were real and not a dream.

He sighed heavily, as if content for the first time in a long time.

"Rin…"

His arm came to wrap around her, and pull her next to him, as he turned his head and breathed deeply, scenting her hair. He feel asleep again, with Rin blushing and assuming he must be delirious to do such a thing.

Days passed with him in and out of conciousness, but with Rin's gentle touch, and her expert ministrations, he grew stronger each day.

Finally, he stood on his own two feet, once more a proud Taiyoukai.

"Rin… walk with me." She followed as he made his way to the stream near by and took a seat, offering her a hand, and pulling her down next to him.

The only man she loved, the only man she admired, the reason she could never marry, was staring at her with unguarded intensity, and it was nearly overwhelming.

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Rin… you know well why it is that this Sesshomaru's Chichi-ue perished?"

What was he saying?

"This Sesshomaru refuses to follow in his Honored Father's footsteps, Rin."

Her heart nearly broke, knowing of what he spoke, but she refused to let the tears fall. She had been waiting, so long… for nothing.

But… he continued.

"I am aware of your feelings for me, Rin. I have been aware for many years."

She blushed. Of course he knew… but…

"How did you know?" she whispered.

The corner of his lip twitched, as he responded,

"You talk in your sleep."

Rin's face blushed bright red, as she recalled some of the dreams she had had, when her teenage hormones were still running wild. Kami-sama… how embarrassing!

"I could not claim you, Rin…"

She nodded, his rejection was, after all, expected, but… it still hurt.

"Until I knew there were none left who could oppose me, and my decision."

What?

Rin looked up, shocked. Did this mean?

The corners of his lips lifted, albeit slightly,

"There are none left, Rin. This Sesshomaru has defeated them all… for you. For…Us."

Her eyes filled with tears. Her dream… was… coming true!

"Rin, will you," he pulled a cresent moon jade tama necklace from his sleeve, she had not noticed it before now, "become the wife of this Sesshomaru? His Lady and his mate?"

She flung herself against him, not bothering to stop the tears now. After long moments, she pulled back, using a gentle hand to palm his cheek, using her thumb to trace his stripes.

"Yes, this Rin would be honored."

He pulled her in for a kiss... their first of many.
