Authors Note: I wrote this fanfiction 2 years ago and recently re-wrote it. So, if you wish to read the original one shot itll also be the next chapter ;)))

Salty tears spilled down flustered cheeks, a high pitched scream ripping through the air. Limbs flying without a thought, balled up fists colliding with multiple faces. Kagome and Kaede both held the young child close, arms coiled around her torso.

"Rin..." The single name was spat out, laced with venom. Two sharp white fangs poking out of his slightly parted lips. The whites of his eyes were pink, jagged lines painted on his face. Opposed to his normally smooth features.

In-between the demon and the human was a half breed. Inuyasha staring at his older brother, Sesshomaru, in the same way. Sword drawn, aimed at the elder. "Kaede said she should live with her own kind!" The half demon spoke in a low growl, bending his knees, preparing himself to launch for another attack.

"But Rin doesn't want to live here!" The heavy wind carried her voice, Rin successfully kicking the old woman off of her. "Not with you, not with anyone!" The expression on her maturing features hardened, the look of pure determination written across her face.

This small action seemed to have calmed the lord, his nails shrinking, fangs disappearing. "Rin," he started, her entire being perking up at the sound of his voice. "Go inside the hut, you may come out in a minute." Without hesitation the young child slipped from Kagome's grasp, making her way to the nearest hut, the one Kagome and Inuyasha shared.

The smell of Rin's tears still stunk his nose, the heavy scent of her sorrow and distress hung in the air. He wouldn't give up, not if she wasn't going to either. The same look of determination appeared on his face, letting his inner demon free.

Rin couldn't help but let her curiosity eat away at her, peering out from the front window. Her small hands resting on the wooden frame, no glass separating her from the outside air. Feeling the mid-summers wind flow through her brown locks. Drying any of the remaining tears on her reddened cheeks.

Chocolate orbs caught sight of a fight. The two half-brothers brawling it out. Sesshomaru wasn't using his sword, poison leaking from the ends of his fingers. The two taking turns, attacking and defending, everyone around helpless, just left to watch. Just like every time the brothers crossed paths.

"You think this is good for Rin!?" Inuyasha growled, holding up his weapon to defend against the others sharp nails. "Look at you, you're a monster! You'll just end up hurting her!"

The small female took in a breath, not letting it out. She could feel her body tremble with angry. Nobody was allowed to call her lord a monster! Her feet made a small noise against the wooden floors, the feeling of grass on her bare feet were normal. "You're wrong!" Her voice was venomous, booming through the open fields. Both hands were placed on her hips, the two demons ceasing their fight.

"Lord Sesshomaru is no monster! Milord is kind and caring! You don't know him like Rin does, Rin knows the real Lord Sesshomaru! And Rin will not allow you to speak of him in such a manner!" Her attitude and power was that of a woman, the fire in her eyes burning through the half demon. She took a deep breath, taking light steps, walking towards the demon who had taken her in. A large smile was spread across her features, eyes closed as she tilted her head up to look up at him. "I'm sorry if Rin embarrassed you."

Her voice was gentle, her large eyes peeking open, feeling a slim hand rest on her head. His silent way of accepting her apology, or stating there wasn't any need of one anyways.

Sesshomaru swiftly turned in the opposite direction, taking his leave, Rin at his side. "Wait," the voice started out loud, but softened at the end. Sesshomaru didn't bother to turn around, but stopped where he stood. "Why? Why do you want to keep a human child by your side? You of all people Sesshomaru!" Kagome's demeanor showed she needed an answer, curiosity eating at her.

The lord took a moment to think about it, before turning his gaze to the small female beside him. His large hand reached down to grab hers, running his thumb lightly across her pale flesh. "Because, I love her."

Those simple words made Rin gasp, pulling her hand away to cover her mouth, eyes as wide as plates. While Inuyasha stood disgusted, snarling. "Really Milord, you love Rin?" Her tone was childish, a hint of excitement added in.

"Yes, my Rin," he smiled, his hair draping down, making it so only she could see. The truly rare and beautiful sight. Rin felt her heart melt, her lord had always been beautiful to her. His soft pale skin, flawless and godly. The marking that covered his high cheek bones, leading down to his sharp jaw line. His light pink lips, so kissable.

Pink tainted the child's cheeks as she was caught staring at his lips, her vision connecting with his. Sesshomaru's most beautiful feature, his golden eyes. "Rin loves you too..." A gentle hand was placed under her chin, a smirk dressing his lips, pressing them against her forehead, "another day my love."

Hope you all enjoy!
