Rumiko Takahashi is brilliant for making Inuyasha! Oh, and I don't own it. I just like screwing around with the characters.

The early morning sun was just breaking over the pink clouds as Seresute woke from her slumber. Rin lay cuddled in her side, still sleeping. Gently, Seresute moved her and stood up. They were on a rather large hill and Seresute could see the rolling landscape. It was a true beauty in the morning. Behind her, she heard a groan, which signaled that Jaken was awake. Sesshomaru had wandered off somewhere. He had apparently woken up before her and taken a walk. Before long, Rin woke up and Seresute fed her some breakfast as well as Jaken. As she was cleaning up the campsite, she picked up a demonic aura. She resumed cleaning, knowing it was Sesshomaru.

She was right. Sesshomaru emerged from the shadows, walking towards them. She bowed her head so that he couldn't see the raging blush on her cheeks. She remembered what had happened in the modern era, what he had done and how he had expressed himself. Fortunately for her, he didn't notice and the blush went away. By the time they left, the sun was halfway up. People in villages would be waking up by now. Every so often, Rin would yawn heavily until Seresute got tired of it and set her on Ah-Un. The little girl fell asleep right as soon as she was placed on the dragon's back.
'Sleep well, little Rin. You need it more than the rest of us,' she thought.
A little bird flew by and landed on a dead tree branch, singing a pretty song. Seresute smiled and joined it. The bird's song was beautiful, but Seresute's was more beautiful. Every note that escaped her throat was a melody, like angels singing. The bird hit an exceptionally high note and Seresute stopped singing, knowing that if she did it, she would break all their eardrums. The bird looked happy that it had beaten her and flew off.
'That look? Could it have been...?' she thought, 'It can't be...'
She glanced up at Sesshomaru, who hadn't noticed what she was doing. She then noticed his left shoulder. For some reason, the sleeve of the kimono was flowing freely and she didn't see a hand like she did the other.
'Does it mean he only has one arm? I shall remedy that soon.'
From behind her, a smile came across Rin's features as she woke up. She jumped down from Ah-Un and snuck up behind Seresute. Being quiet, she prepared to jump on Seresute. Sesshomaru sensed her and smiled inwardly.
"I GOTCHA!" Rin yelled, but she grabbed nothing. Seresute had disappeared. Then the goddess reappeared behind Rin, taking her by surprise and flying into the sky. Rin squealed with delight as Jaken watched with his mouth hanging all the way to the ground.
"You better be careful with Rin!" he shouted, shaking his tiny fist. Seresute turned to him, put her two fingers up in a peace sign and stuck her tongue out. Rin giggled and did the same thing.
"Grrrrrrrrr, when I get you, I'll-" Jaken was cut off when a stone hit him on the back of the head. He fell and Sesshomaru passed him, a slightly amused smile on his face.

Seresute had borne Rin for a couple more hours until her wings grew tired and she had to land. She happened to land right in front of Sesshomaru, who stopped upon her landing. Rin giggled and got off her back.
"Seresute! Can we do that again sometime?"
Seresute looked down at her, a wide smile breaking across her features. "Of course Rin. Anything for you."
Rin smiled and ran past Sesshomaru to tell Jaken all about it. Sesshomaru watched her, then averted his gaze to the goddess in front of him. It was then that Seresute realized they stood in a rolling green meadow. Millions of small flowers dotted the grass. Rin squealed with joy and ran toward it, beginning to pick flowers almost immediately. That was when Seresute saw it. A rather large castle sat in a far corner of the meadow. It was a beautiful castle, fit for a lord. A demon lord at that.
"Where are we?" she wondered aloud. She jumped slightly when she felt Sesshomaru's hand on her shoulder.

"We're home..." he said quietly.

Sesshomaru had gone inside, but Rin and Seresute stayed outside. They were watched by Jaken, whom they had covered in flowers. Both girls had a lot of fun putting crowns of flowers on each other. Before long, it was beginning to get dark and Rin went inside. Seresute stayed outside, just lying in the bed of flowers and staring at the stars. It was quiet, except for the few whispers of the wind. Seresute sat up, letting the wind play with her hair gently. The moon shone down upon her. Plucking a beautiful red rose from its bush, she picked off the thorns and placed it in her brown hair. Just then, she heard the sounds of hooves and she turned to see Sora. The unicorn was pure white in the moon's light and made her seem more unearthly.
"Hello Sora, did you miss me?" Seresute asked, rubbing Sora's muzzle as the horse sat on its legs next to her. After tossing her mane, Sora spotted a particularly tasty field of grass and ran over to graze, leaving the goddess alone. She looked up at the castle, and froze. There was a balcony and Sesshomaru was standing there, gazing at the moon. As she stood up, his gaze averted to her. His amber eyes bore into hers and she could almost read his every thought.

The moon is full tonight, I noticed. It cast a glow over the meadow. I saw something move and I see Seresute. What is she doing down there? She was supposed to be inside. It's dangerous at night. I don't know why, but everytime I'm near her, I feel strange. It feels like everything is going to be okay. Her presence is soothing. Without thinking, I jump from the balcony and onto the grass. As I begin walking toward her, she stands up. She doesn't run away, good. It would hurt me to see her run away.

Seresute watched as Sesshomaru jumped from the balcony and began to walk toward her. She stood her ground, knowing he meant no harm. She noticed his left shoulder yet again and stood. She noticed he stopped and was letting her approach. A few more steps and she was standing in front of him, her blue eyes boring into his gold eyes. Gently she touched his left shoulder, surprised that he didn't flinch. His gaze followed her though.
"Sesshomaru, please sit. I want to see your left shoulder," she said, pushing down on his shoulder gently.

"And why should I?" he asked, taunting her slightly.
She looked at him, her eyes glowing red. "Because I said so!"
He obeyed unwillingly, sitting on the soft grass.
"Remove the kimono top," she ordered, her voice firm. Yet again he obeyed, removing the upper part of his clothing. Sure enough, his arm was cut off just halfway down his arm, a little above the elbow. Sesshomaru heard her soft intake of breath as she put a hand to her mouth. She recovered though. He watched as her eyes closed and she put her hands together. He could hear her chanting softly and before his eyes, he could see that she was forming a new arm, just like the one he lost. When she had finished, she gently placed it on the stump of an arm. She said something softly and it reattached. Once more, he could feel warm blood pulsing in his arm. He flexed it a few times, then compared it to his other arm. They were the same. A slight smile came across his face and he looked up at her. She was smiling at him, her blue eyes twinkling.

Sesshomaru is smiling at me. I can't believe it! I can't remember the last time he smiled at me. As I watch, his eyes drift from my eyes to my lips. I know what it is he wants, but I'm not going to give it to him just yet. I didn't notice, but he was moving closer to me.

Sesshomaru was leaning closer to Seresute until their faces were mere inches apart. He gazed into her eyes again as if to ask permission.
"Sesshomaru..." she murmured before their lips met.
Both had never felt so much passion wrapped in such a simple love gesture. Neither could get enough. Seresute wrapped her slender arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. Slowly, Sesshomaru lowered himself to the ground, not breaking the kiss. His clawed hand caressed her cheek, then traveled to her shoulder where he began to tug gently on her kimono. Seresute broke the kiss immediately, pulling away from him. He sat up quickly, staring at her with lust in his eyes.
"S-Sesshomaru...I'm sorry, I cannot..." she stuttered, looking away.
"Why is that?" he asked. "I-I am not ready for this," she said, "You cannot force me into something. If you try to, you will be destroyed by Heaven itself."
He sighed, lying down on the grass once more. "If it keeps you happy, I will not do anything you do not want."
She turned to him, a small smile on her lips. Slowly she crawled over to him, sitting at his side and stroking a strand of his silver hair back. He closed his eyes and leaned into her touch. When she stopped, he reached with his new arm and traced the blue marks on her face. She giggled slightly upon feeling his sharp nail tickle her skin. The moon was high in the sky and Seresute knew it was getting late.
"Sesshomaru, if it doesn't trouble you too much, may I have shelter here?" she asked, looking at him.
"You don't have to ask. You are welcome here," he said, still keeping his eyes shut.
"Thank you." He got up, pulled his top back on and began to walk away. She ran after him, following him into the castle.
It was beautiful on the inside. Long elaborate halls, beautiful decorating. He stopped before a door. "This is where you will sleep," he said.
"Thank you, Sesshomaru," she said, bowing her head slightly. There was a long silence.
"Good night then," he finally said. "Yes, good night to you as well," she replied. He walked away to his own room and she went inside her own room. Yawning, she changed into her nightgown and fell down onto the soft bed. Before she even knew it, she was asleep.
