Well, enjoy the last chapter to: Life of a Youkai's Lover

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rin's eyes opened slightly as the Sesshoumaru's golden eyes shinned at her. A hand rose and she brushed a finger lightly under his right eye. Surprisingly, it was wet. "Are those for me, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

Sesshoumaru, who was unaware, touched his face in surprised, "Are you okay?" he asked, completely neglecting the confusing moister under his eyes.

Rin smiled, "I wish I was. I'm so sorry for the things I said, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru nodded his head and looked at Rin's wound. "What happened to you?"

Rin shrugged and turned away from Sesshoumaru. She couldn't stand looking into his eyes when he looked so afraid. This emotion was so foreign to him, that anyone who could see the unshed tears in his eyes would melt on the spot. Sesshoumaru cupped the bottom of Rin's face and forced her to face him. "Are you sure you don't know what happened?"

"I remember Tony hitting you five times in the shoulder with his bullets. I heard you howl and then I screamed. Kagome said something to me, and that's all I remember."

Inu-yasha, who listened from behind Sesshoumaru, nodded his head. "I think I understand what happened."

Inu-yasha grabbed the top of Sesshoumaru's kimono and pulled down the sleeve of his right shoulder. Even for a demon, the wound would have been visible for quite awhile, but Sesshoumaru was unscarred. Inu-yasha then moved towards Rin and moved the fabric from her shoulder. Sesshoumaru, growled a bit, but Kagome put a relaxing hand on his shoulder. Sesshoumaru looked back at Rin's shoulder and shuddered when he saw how much blood was pouring from the wound.

"What is this?" Sesshoumaru asked, glaring at Inu-yasha.

Inu-yasha took a step back and shook his head, "Relax, I didn't do this to your mate. To tell you the truth, I was only guessing. I don't understand how Rin received your injuries."

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome mumbled, shaking him. Sesshoumaru would have cursed at Kagome if it wasn't for the fact he felt Rin's life force draining. He looked back at her and noticed she was out cold.

"She's losing too much blood. We have to get her to a hospital. If we don't hurry she could die."

"We could take her back to Kaede's house." Inu-yasha suggested.

"No, we might have to put more blood in her body. My time is way more advance than yours. So let's stop wasting time and get her there."

~~~

"Gee, you guys sure have weird hair. And you sure do dress silly," A thirteen year-old boy told Inu-yasha and Sesshoumaru for the thirteenth time.

Kagome bought them a pair of sunglasses and hats. Sadly, their hair still showed and she didn't have time to buy them different clothes to change out of. When they first arrived at the hospital, many people were afraid to speak to them. Some stared at the two and didn't say anything until Sesshoumaru yelled something about a girl losing blood in his hands. The doctors quickly rushed Rin to the emergency room and forced the remaining three to stay in the lobby.

Sesshoumaru, who was very pissed about that, told the doctors if he wasn't allowed to see Rin in the next ten minutes, they will be paying dearly. Kagome brushed it off by saying Sesshoumaru was just extremely worried about his fiancée and that they could take all the time they needed. Of course, Sesshoumaru didn't like that idea either.

"What is taking them so long?" Sesshoumaru mumbled neglecting the little boy's amazed face.

Kagome told the kid to get lost and forced a confident smile, "I'm sure she' fine, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru eyes her and Kagome smiled. "I can understand why my brother has such an interest in you. You are a very positive human woman."

Kagome lit up and Inu-yasha moaned, "Don't let it get to your head, Kagome. This doesn't make you special or anything."

Kagome was about to argue, but a doctor was walking towards them. She stood up and pulled Inu-yasha up with her. The doctor frowned and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but your friend is dying. She lost too much blood and you took too long getting her."

"Are you saying this is our fault?" Inu-yasha yelled.

"No, I am only telling you what I can. It's amazing she didn't die earlier; we found five bullet holes in her body. We are expecting her to pass soon. I'm sor-"

"Save your damn sympathy for the weak, human. Let me see my mate, NOW!"

The doctor eyed Sesshoumaru, and shook his head. "I'm sorry sir, but you are not permitted to go into the room. She is extremely exposed and we can't risk bacteria getting into her wounds."

Sesshoumaru grabbed the doctor around the neck, eyes flashing red with each word, "Maybe I wasn't clear enough, let-me-see-my-mate, NOW!"

The doctor jumped and nodded his head. "Please, this way."

As Sesshoumaru walked off he yelled to Kagome and Inu-yasha, "You two stay here."

When he was out of sight, Kagome sighed, "He really needs to work on that attitude."

~~~~

"Sesshoumaru-sama..." Rin whispered an outline of a person smiled back at her.

The person nodded its head and a hand rubbed against her face. "I'm sorry."

Rin bunched her eyebrows as a reflection of herself looked back at her. Her eyes were so sad looking and her skin was white as snow. Rin painfully sat up and the girl laid a hand on her shoulder. "You have to understand why I did this. You couldn't allow Sesshoumaru-sama to get hurt. I love him dearly and I couldn't allow anything to happen to him. You understand don't you?"

Rin nodded her head, "I don't understand how it happened."

"When Sesshoumaru-sama was shot in the arm and yelled, I was awakened for a moment. You don't remember because you were under a spell, but I was never influenced by Tony's drugs. When I heard Sesshoumaru yell, I opened the link connected to him and you received his pain. The link allows the both of you to sense when you are in trouble and it even allows you to take away each others suffering."

Rin nodded her head, "So... Sesshoumaru would be dying if it wasn't for you. You love Sesshoumaru more than I ever could. You aren't even alive and you still have the power to save him."

The other girl shook her head in disagreement. "A deep part of you wanted him to be alright. I am you, Rin. I am the part of you that will never be affected by drugs or anything like that. So don't think you are useless to him, you made it this far, right?"

Rin nodded her head slightly, but a dizzy feel mad her lye back down on the covers. "I think your wrong about that. If I don't get better, Sesshoumaru will have to wait for me to be reborn again. I don't think... I am going to make it." Rin closed her eyes and the heart monitor began to beep faster.

The doctor opened the door to Rin's room and lead Sesshoumaru in. When the doctor heard the heart monitor, he ran over to it. "Sir, I'm sorry but there is nothing we can do. She's dying and fast."

Sesshoumaru growled and pushed the doctor, "Get out of here, now."

"But, I have to unplug the-" The doctor stared wide eyed as the past Rin sat on the bed smiling. He rubbed his eyes slightly and she waved back to him. "I think you're right. I should leave." The doctor agreed, leaving Sesshoumaru.

The past Rin disappeared right when Sesshoumaru turned back to the dying Rin. Her heart monitor made another pulse line, before going straight. Sesshoumaru felt Rin's life energy fade and he blasted the monitor in frustration. He held Rin in his arms and breathed in her scent. "Why must you leave me again, Rin? I do not think I can wait another 18 years to have you in my arms. We haven't even together for a year and you are already leaving me." Sesshoumaru buried his face into her hair as the wet moister returned to his eyes. He let a few drops fall and held onto the body tighter.

"I never thought I'll see you cry, Sesshoumaru-sama."

Sesshoumaru turned towards the voice as the past Rin smiled at him. She sat beside him and ran a hand down Rin's face. "She really loves you, Sesshoumaru-sama. I really love you." She looked at Sesshoumaru and blushed.

"I would do anything to stay with you forever, but that wouldn't be fair. I wouldn't be making you completely happy."

"What?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"You do not love me as much as you use to. I must say, I'm pretty jealousy of this new Rin, but there is nothing I can do. I rather you have the one you love than put you through so much trouble. So I give up on you Sesshoumaru-sama. Goodbye."

Sesshoumaru began to speak, but Rin put a finger to his lips, "Forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin leans over and kisses him on the lips before disappearing.

"Rin? Answer me."

"What ever you say, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru looked down in his arms and saw Rin (future) smiling at him. He tightens his gripped around her and pulled her close to him. "Kami, I thought I lost you again."

Rin lets out a joyful cry, "I'll never leave you, Sesshoumaru. I love you."

Sesshoumaru nodded and kissed Rin passionately. As Rin smiled against her lover's lips she couldn't help but think of all the things she's been through.

"I guess that's the life of a youkai's lover."

The End

Inu-yasha and Kagome watched the two lovers embrace each other. They smiled with interest as Sesshoumaru basically poured his heart out to the human girl.

"Who would have thought?" Inu-yasha smiled. "Man, I can't wait to tease him about the crying thing."

"Inu-yasha, you're gonna make your brother hate you again. You should stop with the teasing." Kagome warned.

"Yeah yeah yeah."

"You know, why can't Kikyo leave us alone and let us be together? Rin's past self happily allowed the two to live together, it really isn't fair."

"Well, I am a stud muffin. Once you have this hunk of man, you will never want to give up on him. Past or reincarnated self, it doesn't matter."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Stud muffin? You've been in this time WAY to long."

"You know you wouldn't leave me for anything."

"Keep telling yourself that, dog-boy. You're ego is making me sick. Now that Rin's safe, I'm going home."

Inu-yasha watched Kagome walk away and he frowned. "Hey, you wouldn't leave me, right? HEY, Kagome... get back here. HEY! HEY!"

Kagome stopped momentarily and blew Inu-yasha a kiss. "Of course not, dear."

Inu-yasha blushed, "Yeah... I thought so."

Kagome smiled, "You thought right. Now... SIT!"

Inu-yasha slammed into the ground, "Wench!" he yelled as he watched the woman he'll spend the rest of his life with walk away in pride. Inu-yasha couldn't help but smile and turn back to his brother. "Everything is going to be perfect."

The End

I am FINALLY FINISHED! I have been working on this since July 11, 2003. (Well longer than that... it was deleted off of ff.net.) I really hope you guys liked it. I tried to put a little humor into this last chapter instead off sadness-ness-ness. I hope it sounds okay. Umm, I also wanted to answer any questions you guys might have had during the process of this story. Sadly, I was only able to find one... and that was from: theMaven (from mm.org) Here is your question and answer: (hope ya don't mind me posting it here... sorry if u do mind.)

Review From: TheMaven: (FOR CHAPTER 14)

Mmmm . . . this chapter wasn't as strong as the rest. I mean, Sess already knows she's been drugged, so as hurtful as it was, he should've expected that kind of reaction from Rin. Sure, get rid of Tony, but make sure Rin's safe first. And how could Rin still be camouflaged if Tony had let her go? It's his powers that made her "invisible" to begin with. *shrugs* Just a couple of questions I had. I did like when the original Rin's soul was released, though. That was sweet :) . . . And, one more chapter? So, what're you waiting for? Get to writing! We wanna know how it ends . . . Please? ^__^

ANSWER: You are right; Sesshy did know she was drugged. But, he was still shocked after hearing her say those things. It's like... you gotta see it to really believe sort of things. Ya know? And, Rin wasn't camouflaged, Sesshoumaru just didn't really pay attention... he was so into killing Tony. (Sometimes, anger blinds love. Does that make sense?)

I hope that answer your question theMaven. Thanks for your interest. ^_^

If anyone else has questions... feel free to ask. And if you are into yaoi, please check out my first original fic on fictionpress.net. It is called, ""Lyrics and Songs." And my penname is Rinova.

I would love it if you guys could read and review. Here is a summary of it:

WARNING: Story does contain homosexuality. Yaron had the looks, voices, and lyrics to win over any teenage listener of his music. Why wouldn't thousands of fans want to meet him? A contest gives Aren, a normal teenage boy, a chance to meet this idolizing singer and an odd force brings the two together. What happens when a normal teenage fan gets to be in the arms of a famous known singer?

Well, check that out and feel free to read my other Rin and Sesshoumaru fanfics.

GOOD AND BAD REVIEWS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME and thanks again for staying with me. You guys are the best.

Thanks!
