The Liar with a Sword

"Are you ready?" I ask Rin as I walk through the door.

"Yes." She takes a big breath in and pushes it out and then looks towards me. "I am." She smiles.

That smile is what made me, Sesshoumaru, actually look at a human. I remember that day. She brought me some food and I told her to go away. She smiled even though she was beaten by the people of the town. Humans can be so cruel. She smiled though. She told me one day that she saw me when she was running away from the wolves. She was running to me and she's never turned back.

I take her hand and help her out of the chair. Our arms become intertwined.

"I'm so excited Sesshoumaru-sama." She laughs. "I hope I don't fall."

I show now emotion, but she knows I'm laughing inside. "You will be fine."

Shock. I was in shock when she woke up in my arms. I did not think that sword would work. Yes, it was from my father and he was a great man, but I wanted the better sword. I wanted the Tetsuseiga. But, now I saved a little girl. She followed me and she never stopped. She said once that she wanted to be with me forever. I laughed it off, but did not say anything to her. I let her believe she was staying with me forever.

I, Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands, am getting butterflies as we walk down the hallway to the ceremony. I know it is nothing fancy, just her and I and the man leading it, but I am still afraid. I am afraid that she will see who I really am. I am a liar. I am counterfeit.

"Rin…"

"Yes." She looks up to me. Her eyes are filling with tears.

"Do not cry."

"All right." She looks back in front of her as if looking to the future.

I am still looking to the past.

My father. I thought he was weak. How could he get involved with a human? They are weak creatures. He told me once he loved her. I laughed in his face because I thought how could he, the great dog demon, love a human? I also laughed at the word. It is a human word. He did not love my mother. Demons do not love. There is admiration and respect for each other, but not love.

"We are almost there. I am so happy."

"Then why do you cry?"

"They are tears of joy and excitement."

Every time I see her cry I want to hold her. I do not understand them. I saw Inuyasha's mother cry. It made me hate her even more. Rin's tears make me love her even more.

"It is time," the man says.

"I am ready," she tells me.

I pull her kimono off her shoulder. I mark her. She is finally mine, although we both knew that. She would have stayed by my side forever without this. Now everyone will know. They will think I'm weak, just like my dad. I understand why he saved Izayoi and Inuyasha. He saved them with the sword that I always carry. The Tenseiga. Everything comes back to that sword. I can save Rin, just as he saved Izayoi.

"We're done?" she asks me.

"Yes. Now we retire to our room."

"I see." She smiles.

We head to our room. This time she is holding my hand. I do not show it, but my heart is about to beat out of my chest. I love this human; this human from my past that is now my future. My future. I have to look into the future. She is my future. She is so beautiful. My heart skips a beat and I shut my eyes and stop walking.

"What's wrong?"

"It is nothing, my Lady."

Thank you father for giving the sword that led me to her. Rin is your last gift to me and I will cherish her for as long as I live.
