Summary: Rin watches her lord, as she always has, and as she always will. He is different now. And so is she.
Notes: not dedicated to the one who requested an angsty SR, because this sucks and she deserves a good one. So There.
Rin watches her lord, as she always has, and as she always will. He is different now. And so is she. His eyes are lighter, and she is taller. His smile wider, her body older. She learns from him, and he from her. She loves him, and together they are growing.
Rin notices that he leaves now, often. The disappearances are brief, and when he returns, acts as if it'd never happened. Still, she sees he is changing, but this time it is not her doing.
She is human; after all, and it is only natural she is curious. Following a daiyoukai without his knowledge is tricky, but she's had years of practice.
He enters a glade, and is not alone. There's another girl waiting, and he makes her smile.
Sesshoumaru speaks in a way Rin has never heard. She is stunned when he laughs, and finds a wicked hate for this woman.
The daiyoukai graces her with his lips, and the unseen girl begins to cry.
