Lady of the Western Lands.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the character from there, only some here are mine. The storyline's mine too.

Tears ran down Rin's face as she stood there in the ceremony where Sesshoumaru-sama would announce his mate, the Lady of the Western Lands. The mere thought turned her insides and squeezed her heart. Of course her lord had picked a demon to be his mate, she met her, Taka was her name. She was a beautiful Taiyoukai, much like her Lord with the same fair hair, and Golden eyes. They only thing was that Lady Taka scared her, Rin knew in their first meeting that the Lady didn't like her. Lords and Ladies of the other Lands came to attend the ceremony. All strong and powerful and beautiful as the next, but none could compare to her Lord. They all cheered as the ceremony ended, all but Rin. Why? Why couldn't it be me? She thought in her tears.

Rin awoke from the terrible dream of her Lord's ceremony. It had been four years since that time. Now she lived in that castle with her Lord and Lady…and their son. Inutaisho was born three years ago a year after the two had mated, but the child looked more liked his father than his mother. Rin adored the child, but Lady Taka didn't like their interactions, she believed that interactions with humans would make her son weak. Sesshoumaru said nothing of the matter.

Rin got out of bed, dressed, and made her way to her garden to pick flowers. Picking flowers was a hobby since she was a child, and she love to pick them for Sesshoumaru. Now that he had a mate she was afraid to give them to him his mate frightened her.

She sat in her garden making a crown of flowers with what she had picked. One of the castle servants approached her. Rin stood up and bowed after the Servant girl bowed. “Rin-san, you're breakfast is ready,” she told her. Rin smiled at the girl and nodded. The servant left as Rin gathered her flowers and made her way to the castle. She paused and looked back hearing a sound towards the forest. She regarded it and went back toward the castle.

When she entered she overheard a conversation, the Lady and Lord were having.

“Why to you spoil that human brat. She has one of the best rooms in the castle and you provide her with the best garments. The servants refer her to as Rin-san. She is nothing but a worthless, disgusting, human,” Lady Taka asked in anger.

Sesshoumaru glared at his mate. “That is none of your concern as to what I do with her. The human seems to show more respect than, my own mate. At least she knows her place.”

“How dare you,”

He grasped her neck firmly. “How dare I? How dare you? Never talk to me that way ever.” He looked at the corner, where Rin was hiding. “Rin go to the dining hall.” Rin came out from the corner and bowed at him then left. The lady glared at her mate and Rin. “Forgive me, My Lord,” she forced herself to say. “I'll retire to our room now.” Sesshoumaru said nothing, just turned and went to the dining hall to eat. He found Rin, slumped in her chair poking at her food.

“Rin,” he called, instantly she sat straight up.“Sesshoumaru-sama,” she said.

“If you're not hungry, then leave,” he told her.

Rin shook her head. “No my Lord, I was just thinking,” she said before returning to her meal. They ate in silence not saying a single word to each other. When Rin finished, she bowed before Sesshoumaru and left the dining hall. She walked toward her room before she got there something ran into her stomach. She looked down to see amber eyes staring at her. “I'm sorry,” he said. “Inutaisho!” his mother called. “You need not say sorry to this human.” Lady Taka grabbed him by his arm and yanked the white haired child away.

Rin got back to her room and went to her diary, and began to write. Her diary was her heart. It held all of her thoughts and secrets and her deepest desires. There were pages about her days, but mostly it was about her feelings for Sesshoumaru. She loved Sesshoumaru with all her heart but she knew that he would never love her. She stepped a way from her diary and lay on her futon. Should I go to Tejina-san? She wondered, but she this was her home; she had a nice bed, the best clothing out there, and good food. She also promised herself to stay with him. She adored him and it was her way of thanking him for all that he'd done for her. She closed hers and imagined him. He looked at her with those beautiful amber eyes, then leaned in and kissed her. As he did, he let his hands travel all over her body exiting her.

Her eyes shot open and she stood straight up, she mustn't let herself get aroused with so many demons around her able to smell her. Especially Sesshoumaru, what would she say to him. She looked out her window at her garden and decided to continue her activity from this morning.

She sat in her garden, trying to finish her crown of flowers, but sounds of motion toward to forest kept irritating her. She turn her head toward that direction, but could not see anyone or anything. That didn't keep her from feeling like she was being watched. Of course, whenever she was out in her garden, Sesshoumaru-sama would have one of his servants watch her to make sure she was unharmed.

Rin stood up leaving her crown on the ground. "Who's there," she called. No one answered. She took a few steps toward the forest. "I know someone's there. Why are you watching me?" She asked. Still no one answered. She stepped toward the forest more. Rustling sound came from the bushes as she moved slowly toward her. She came to the area where the sound was coming from and moved part of the bushes to see who was behind it.

Her eyes widened as when she saw them. Five pair of eyes stared at her in uncertainty. But it was those eyes that caught her attention. Eyes of a person that she wasn't so she that would ever see again. She reached out her hand to touch.

"Stupid woman," Sesshoumaru mumbled refering to his mate. He suddenly noticed that he could smell Rin's sent . He went outside and confronted Kouken, the demon in charge of watching Rin when she went to her garden, who wastalking Jaken. "Where is she?" he asked. The demon pointed out to the area where Rin was, but she wasn't there anymore. The demon started to shake in fear. "She was there My Lord," he cried bowing low at feet. Sesshoumaru said nothing, just made his way to where Rin was. Jaken ran following behind him. He saw her at the forest entrance looking at something.

"RIN!" Yelled Jaken.

Rin quickly snatched her hand back and looked at Sesshoumaru and Jaken approaching her. She grabbed her flowers andran toward them, hoping that they didn't caught sent of the strangers. She bowed before them. "Rin, you are to say within Kouken's sight." Sesshoumaru told her. "Gomen nasai," she said. They went back to the castle. Rin looked over her shoulder at the forest. That face still fresh in her memory.
