A/N: Thanks for choosing to read my collections of One-Shots/Drabbles. I've written these over the years for challenges and events on Dokuga. The One-Shots range from 1,500 words-5,000 words, while Drabbles will usually be 10, 100-word entries. Each "chapter" is it's own "story" none of the chapters relate to the others. These stories will range from sad to happy to romance. Some contain smut, others do not. Is you see a story you do like and wish to be continued, please tell me as many of these are not completed, but a few are. Thanks again, everyone! Enjoy!

(These drabbles are from Drabble/Drawble night March 2012. Old haha. I think this is the oldest one though)

The taiyoukai remembered her intelligent brown eyes. They were the color of the strange, sweet smelling substance the miko occasionally brought from her time. Her toothy smile and innocence was what had begun to melt his icy heart. His ward had managed to do what none could. He would admit that he felt a somewhat paternal instinct come to life as she began to follow him after that day.

But now she was gone and he could feel the coldness begin to seep back into his heart. He would remember her and the one who repeatedly tried to heal her.

He let his lids close as he recalled the night before.

Blood was splattered everywhere as well as human bodies. The scent assaulted his nose and almost made him falter in step as he walked over to his still ward.

He and his brother's group had just finished slaughtering the intruding youkai. Unfortunately, they had been too late for Rin. As he neared, he took in how the miko was hovering over her, her battle-worn hands lit with her pure, pink power as she tried to heal her wounds.

Sesshoumaru knew it was futile. Her heartbeat could not be heard.

Prompt: Blood

"Sesshoumaru," He heard the miko's whisper. It was a bittersweet feeling when she gazed up at him with sapphire eyes brimmed with tears. He had grown somewhat fond of the miko during his visits to the village. She was kind and patient and taught Rin much. He did not like to see her upset, which he found was often with Inuyasha, yet he was glad she mourned for her. "I'm sorry. S-she's not waking up. Can't you bring her back?"

Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin's pale face. "This Sesshoumaru cannot. It is impossible for she has been revived twice already."

Prompt: Bittersweet

After they had buried the villagers, Kagome stood next to Sesshoumaru in front of the final grave: Rin. She kneeled down in front of the piled dirt and took her canary yellow backpack off her shoulder. Setting the bag to the side, she clapped her hands together before closing her eyes and beginning to pray for the child she had come to love deeply.

Sesshoumaru watched her with curious amber eyes. Perhaps the miko cared as much for Rin as he did. He kept his mask in place when she suddenly met his gaze with furrowed brows. "I'm sorry, Sesshoumaru."

Prompt: Canary

She felt as if a lime had just been squeezed into her eyes from the amount of tears that were pouring down her cheeks. She rose to her feet and walked towards him. She clenched her fists at her sides and looked up at him. "It's my fault this happened."

"Hn."

"She wanted to come with Inuyasha, Miroku, and I to get more supplies, but I told her to stay and help Kaede gather herbs because her back was hurting." She felt a new flood of tears come and closed her eyes tightly before burying her face in her hands.

Prompt: Lime

Sesshoumaru raised one of his brows as he watched as she tried to regain her composure. She lowered her hands and looked up at him, once again meeting his gaze with her night sky colored eyes. "Can you forgive me?"

He stared down, gold meeting sapphire. She was so sincere in her feelings. Did she truly believe it was her fault? "The blame is not yours. The fault is my own for leaving her in Inuyasha's village." He clarified, narrowing his eyes. He should have known his brother was incapable of protecting anything; just look how he treated his intended.

Daring to push the limits with the taiyoukai, she reached out and grasped his hand. "You only wanted what was best for her, Sesshoumaru. No one blames you," She said softly and glanced over at Rin's grave. The vibrant flowers of purple and blue mixed with the green grass reminded her of a peacock. Oh, how Rin would have loved to see one of those in her time. "Especially Rin."

He clenched his jaw at the physical contact with the miko, but did not remove his hand from the comfort. "She wanted to come with me." He breathed the truth.

Prompt: Peacock

"Come with you?" Kagome repeated and shook her head. "Sesshoumaru, you were trying to give her a human's life. She had a lot to learn still." She smiled at the fond memory of when the two went out searching for the Japanese yellow plums for dinner.

"I should have given her what she wanted." Why was he discussing his feelings with the miko? It was not her business. Still, he could not deny that speaking of it plus her words gave him some comfort.

"You did," She tightened her hold on his hand. "You gave her another chance at life."

Prompt: Plum

"And took it away," He shot back, eyes narrowing once more. "There was no point in bringing her back."

Shocked by his words, she did the only thing she could do. It was a very Kagome thing to do, but she was sure Sesshoumaru would not be used to such actions. She released his hand and wrapped her arms around his waist, not minding the hard armor.

Was this miko truly hugging him? Did she have a death wish?

"You don't believe that." She breathed and closed her eyes.

Her words made his thoughts cease.

Why was she so perceptive?

Prompt: Carnation

Why was something as mundane and human-like so comforting to him? How could her words sooth him? Humans; he still did not understand them.

"Hn."

She smiled at his signature response and opened her eyes. His alabaster colored silk hair shined in the setting sun. Ever since things with Inuyasha had gone…haywire, she had begun to look at Sesshoumaru with a different light. Not that she was on the prowl, but she noticed he was much different from when they first met.

He looked down at her and felt something new pinch at his heart.

Perhaps humans weren't so bad.

Prompt: Alabaster
