Till The End Of Time [Inuyasha Fanfiction ]
Chapters133

Lying sideways on the futon in the master bedroom of the western land, Sesshoumaru stared at the peaceful sleeping figure of Rin beside him while holding Shura in the chest. The right hand of the inuyoukai is coiled around the human woman's hip, the arm of her left hand is stretched out into a pillow for her kisakinya, whereas, her mokomokonya becomes a blanket for both the most precious existences in her life.

Morning had become day, Sesshoumaru had spent hours just staring at his wife and son sleeping, because staring at those who were asleep peacefully, he felt peaceful.

The satisfaction of Sesshoumaru. Everything was complete with Rin and Shura beside him. Having both of them, he felt he had the whole world.

Do you have someone you want to protect?

Inu No Taisho's last question again flashed in Sesshoumaru's mind, and this time the ruler of the western lands smiled.

"There, Father," murmured Sesshoumaru quietly and closed his eyes. "This Jesshoumaru has a person who wants to protect—Sesshoumaru wants to protect Rin and Shura."

Sesshoumaru replied, and he knew, his father who was so respected must be laughing in nature there. The man who wants to be protected—something most precious; his wife and son.

Sesshoumaru used to be just fixated on strength without caring about anything, because for him that was the most important thing in his life. But ever since he met Rin, loved her and now has Shura, he knows, as it turns out, strength is not the most important.

Then, like a miracle, when he threw away his obsession with power, he actually got the power he so craved. In the great war of the five regions, he was able to survive and live even though arrows and swords pierced his heart.

Love is a useless feeling. Love is something that will make you weak and lost. Love is weakness.

The word was wrong, Sesshoumaru was aware and convinced now. Love will not weaken and make him perish, his love for Rin and Shura will not be his weakness, but quite the opposite. Rin and Shura are the source and trigger of her powers. Having both of them, she would forever be invincible—Sesshoumaru would always be the strongest youkai in this world for the sake of the two of them.

"Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin's soft and gentle voice rang out, making Sesshoumaru immediately open his eyes.

The first one Sesshoumaru saw was a pair of large, clear brown eyes as well as the spring smile he loved.

"What do you think, Sesshoumaru-sama?" ask Rin slowly. Both of his eyes looked gently at Sesshoumaru.

"This Jesshoumaru thinks of Rin and Shura." Sesshoumaru replied with a flat voice. The small smile on his face did not disappear.

Rin was stunned by Sesshoumaru's reply. But a moment later, he chuckled and blushed in embarrassment. "Rin is happy that Sesshoumaru-sama thinks of Rin and Shura."

Seeing Rin's facial expression and laughter, the smile on Sesshoumaru's face only became more noticeable. Moving the right hand that was on the hip to the right cheek of the western dirt kisaki, she stroked it gently. "This shoumaru will always think of you two— therefore, always happy, Rin."

Rin nodded his head slowly with the same facial expression. Closing his eyes, he tilted his face to the right to feel even more warmth of Sesshoumaru's hand. "Then, Sesshoumaru-sama should also promise Rin not to get hurt again."

Rin already knew what had happened to the great war of the five lands in Japan, and he also knew of the wounds that Sesshoumaru— received - the arrows and swords that redeemed his heart. The pain was, he could imagine, and the fear was—foot the western lands did not want to feel it anymore.

"Such injuries will not be able to kill this Sesshoumaru," Sesshoumaru retorted softly. His hand continued to stroke her cheek gently. "Sesshoumaru will always come home to you."

"Awuu..."

A small groan suddenly sounded. Opening his eyes, Rin immediately turned to Shura who was in his arms, as well as Sesshoumaru.

Shura who did not know since when she had woken up, was now staring at her parents with her big eyes. Rise up, full of difficulty and slightly staggered, she freed herself from Rin's embrace.

Walking a few steps, his little head butted into the gap between Rin's right cheek and Sesshoumaru's palm. Rubbing his face there, the western land heir snorted with satisfaction, while his tail swayed.

Shura's sudden behavior inevitably made Rin laugh, while to Sesshoumaru, she smiled.

Rin's laughter makes Shura then stick out her tongue licking her mother's cheek, and her lick gets stronger as she feels the laughter is getting louder.

"Geli, Shura," Rin's joyful laughter filled the quiet room. Moving her right hand, she stroked Shura's body gently. "Stop."

Sesshoumaru who saw the interaction between mother and child in front of him would not want to laugh. Moving her right hand, she stroked Shura's head.

The elusan of Sesshoumaru's hand on Shura's head made the little inuyoukai stop licking Rin's cheek. Raising his head up, he now stuck out his tongue licking his father's palm.

Sesshoumaru was quite surprised by Shura's sudden behavior, but a moment later he returned smiling and letting his son do whatever he wanted to do.

There was a warm feeling Sesshoumaru felt. Shura licks herself and Rin is because Shura knows who they are. Newborn inuyoukai children do not know anything, therefore the instinct of the dog is more work. His son keeps licking himself and Rin is because he wants to tag them with his smell—mark them as his.

"Who do you look like, Shura?" rin's laughter saw Shura who was now licking Sesshoumaru's palm full of excitement.

From the story of Inukimi first, Rin knew Sesshoumaru as a child used to be very calm and passive. But looking at Shura now, her son looked very active.

"Shura looks like you." Reply Sesshoumaru slowly. Both of his golden eyes were now directed at Rin full of temptation. A small smile filled his handsome face. "You were a baby when you were a baby, too."

Rin was stunned, but a moment later she shook her head, despite her doubtful facial expression. "No. Rin is not like this.. Rin can't be this active.."

"You!! Ohhhh!!" the sudden sound of Shura's crying again grabbed Sesshoumaru and Rin's attention.

Staring at their son, Sesshoumaru and Rin see Shura's eyes directed at them full of feelings of dislike, as they feel— ignored.

"Lou! Ohhhh!!" back barking, Shura then rubbed his head on Rin's cheek and then on Sesshoumaru's palm alternately.

Sesshoumaru again smiled with the manner of Shura who was so thirsty for their attention. Looks like this son is quite different from him and Rin. But, don't know why—dia likes it.

To Shura, Sesshoumaru was willing to give anything. Attention and love, everything she can give—she wants her son to grow up in happiness as he should.

Laughing again, Rin then picked up and lowered Shura. Kissing the crescent moon on his forehead, the western earth kisaki smiled, "Are you hungry, Shura?"

Rin only realized, until now, she still had not breastfed Shura. Trying to get up and sit down, Sesshoumaru moved quickly to help and make the chest as a backrest for himself.

Smiling at Sesshoumaru for a moment, Rin then opened the collar of her kimono and guided her little son's mouth to his chest.

Kissing the smell of breast milk, Shura's instincts immediately worked, opened her mouth, she began to suck the source of breast milk to relieve her hunger. His tail swayed again, indicating he was happy.

Rin's smile only grew softer. She was initially quite confused about how to breastfeed Shura, because her child is now a puppy, but it turns out that she does not need to worry, everything is going well.

Sesshoumaru who saw Rin breastfeeding Shura inevitably returned smiling. Lifting both hands, he carefully coiled his waist and placed his chin on Rin's right shoulder.

"Rin," called Sesshoumaru slowly, his eyes fixed on his son who drank joyfully. "The mother said, inuyoukai babies are not like babies in general. They are pretty much breastfed once a week. "

Rin nodded his head slowly. "Rin understands."

Rin actually already knew all the things about the inuyoukai baby, because she had prepared herself fully to be the mother of an inuyoukai since the visit of Shui— when she decided she would give birth to Shura as a true inuyoukai.

"Rin," call Sesshoumaru again. Moving both of her hands up, she hugged Shura. Closing his eyes, the western land lord inuyoukai smiled. "Sesshoumaru this—happy."

Rin is stunned by Sesshoumaru's confession. But, a moment later, he smiled. Leaning and leaning his head against Sesshoumaru's head, he also closed his eyes. "Rin is also happy, Sesshoumaru-sama."

Blissfulness.

Their happiness now was a new happiness they had never felt before. Only with Shura in their arms did everything change.

This happiness is so sweet and intoxicating. Sweeter than all the best honey and more intoxicating than sake youkai— This happiness is bliss is unexplained. However, it will be understood by every parent when they see their child.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin-sama, the servant came to deliver food."

Jaken's voice suddenly sounded from outside. His voice was slow, as if afraid to disturb those inside.

"Get in." Sesshoumaru's orders.

Jaken opened the door and walked in with a well-established meal in hand. However, entering the room, his two eyes were only centered on the figure of the heiress of the western land who was breastfeeding.

The task of delivering Rin's food actually became the seizure of all the inhabitants of the western land palace, because until now, no one had known carefully the appearance of Shura, the heiress of the western land, as yet, and Jaken is the luckiest youkai to get it.

Seeing the white-haired dog in Rin's arms, Jaken's eyes grew bigger. Happiness and pride filled his heart to see the successor of his master who was born as a true inuyoukai without being affected by the blood of his biological mother who is a human.

"Grrr.." a low and terrifying growling sound instantly resuscitated Jaken from his terkesimanya feelings.

Noticing the pair of golden eyes that were staring at him sharply, fear immediately filled Jaken's heart. Staring fixedly at the figure of Shura that Rin was following in front of Sesshoumaru—what has she done?

Putting firmly in the possession of food, he immediately knelt down apologizing. "Ahhh—Sesshoumaru-sama, I just stared at Shura-sama!! I saw absolutely nothing else!!"

Rin chuckled at Jaken's behavior. To be honest, she did not feel anything when Jaken saw her nursing Shura, because the frog youkai was one of the youkai who raised her as a child in the wild.

Shura who noticed Jaken's presence as well as heard Sesshoumaru's growl immediately stopped breastfeeding. Looking at his head at the frog youkai who was kneeling apologetically, he also growled with anger.

Shura obviously had no idea what was happening. But seeing his biological father growling dislike, he felt the youkai approaching them was not a good thing. What's more, the youkai disturbs her relationship with her parents.

Jaken's face paled more and more looking at Shura's reaction. Tears were directly infused on her eyelids. It's impossible, right? Did Shura not like it?—they just met.

Rin's laughter broke unbearably seeing Jaken's reaction. Tidying up his clothes, he patted his son's head gently. "Shura, don't act like that to Jaken-sama," slowly, she then looked at Sesshoumaru, her hand moving touching the cheek of the inuyoukai. "Sesshoumaru-sama too. The one in front of us is Jaken-sama, not anyone else."

Alongside the two inuyoukai fathers-son stopped growling at Jaken. Looking at Rin's smiling face, they then turned their eyes to the frog youkai full of intimidation.

Rin looked at Sesshoumaru and Shura for a moment, then looked at Jaken. Smiling, he waved a hand asking the frog youkai to approach. "Jaken-sama, come here."

Jaken hesitated to approach the ruling inuyoukai family from the west in front, as the two pairs of inuyoukai eyes that were staring at him were extremely intimidating. In the face of Sesshoumaru like this, he was already ordinary, but if plus Shura—he gulped and lowered his head back down.

Lost his curiosity for Shura. The heirs of the western lands were really the sons of Sesshoumaru, both the likeness and nature of—dia were copies of his biological father. Jaken could not imagine what his future would be like.

"Jaken," call Sesshoumaru then. His eyes did not change at all. "Rin's food."

Realized, Jaken immediately raised a well-established filled meal approaching them. His eyes were still staring down, and he could clearly hear the sound of Shura coming back to snarl dislike.

Laying firmly in front of Rin, Jaken did not dare to raise his head in the slightest. Inwardly, he thought, would Shura grow up like Sesshoumaru who likes to kick or throw something at her?

"Jaken-sama." Rin's soft voice again rang out calling Jaken's name and made the frog youkai immediately raise his head to look at her. "Come here."

A smile was what Jaken saw. A wide and free smile that never changed from the little girl he always guarded.

Gently stroking the small inuyoukai head in his arms, Rin stared gently at Shura who raised her head looking at him. "Don't be like that Shura," her smile was gentle. "The one in front of you is Jaken-sama. He is a youkai who was always with Rin as a child—part of our family."

Rin's words immediately made Jaken very touched. He who is cowardly and weak, is considered by Rin, the kisaki of the western land that is so loved by everyone as a family.

Raising his head to look at Jaken, Rin chuckled and fanned his right hand again at the frog youkai. "Jaken-sama, come here."

Slowly, with tears in his eyes, Jaken then stepped closer to the ruling family of the western lands ahead.

As if understanding Rin's words just now, Shura did not growl anymore at Jaken, but her sharp eyes on the frog youkai remained the same.

Once again, Jaken was amazed. Staring at the figure of Shura this close, he really felt that he saw Sesshoumaru in his original form. Their resemblance is so incredible, no one will doubt the relationship between them.

"Shura is handsome and looks like Sesshoumaru-sama, isn't it, Jaken-sama?" rinn asked with pride. Both of his eyes were looking straight at Shura then raised looking at Jaken. "Just like Rin was when she was a child. Rin hopes that Jaken-sama will also always look after Shura later."

What kind of figure Shura will be, Jaken can imagine it, he will be like his father Sesshoumaru, the strongest inuyoukai feared and respected all there is— will Shura need protection from him? The answer is of course; no. However, Rin keeps asking him to look after Shura one day. The human woman who always trusted him was willing to entrust such a precious son to him.

Happiness filled Jaken's heart.

Jaken's tears were unbearable. Falling down her cheek, she wiped it off and nodded her head. "Yes, leave it to me, Rin. Later, no matter what happens, even if my life is at stake, I will always take care of Shura-sama."

Rin laughed and nodded his head. Raising her right pinky, she smiled. "Promise?"

Quickly, Jaken hooked her little finger and laughed. "Promise."

The promise he made to Rin to take care of Shura, Jaken kept it in his heart. No matter what happens later, for the son of the master and the human woman so precious to him—he will take care of him always

"Gerrr..." Shura who was silent again growled with anger. She doesn't like the slightest touch of her real mother other than herself and her real father. Opened mouth. He moved to bite Jaken.

"Gazo-sama!!" jaken shouted in fear and walked away.

Rin shook his head looking at Shura's attitude. Patting and stroking his son's head slowly, a small frown appeared on his face. "Shura, don't be like that."

Shura stopped growling. Staring at Rin, there was not the slightest regret on his face. Poking out her tongue, she licked the pinky of Rin's hand that had come into contact with Jaken's finger.

Rin doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at Shura's behavior right now. He felt that his son was really a very—posive inuyoukai child.

Raising his hands against Rin's bowl of rice and chopsticks, Sesshoumaru who cared nothing then began to feed his kisak calmly.

Being fed by Sesshoumaru was nothing new to Rin, and since her stomach was hungry, the human woman immediately opened her mouth. Smiling, he allowed himself to be fed to the ruler of the western lands without any burden.

Shura who saw Sesshoumaru was feeding Rin, wiggling her tail happily. Being in Rin's arms, both of his eyes looked closely at the closeness of his parents—he liked it very much.

Seeing Sesshoumaru feeding Rin was nothing new to Jaken. However, looking at the harmonious family in front of him, he did not dare to do something that would disturb them.

The family before his eyes was a strange family. A handsome and dignified youkai husband, a beautiful human wife like a flower, and their child in an adorable original form.

Youkai and humans. A family that contrasts with a million differences. But also so—indah. Like a painting from a famous painter's work, happiness and harmony are captured perfectly in Jaken's eyes.

Tap-tap-tap.

The sound of someone's powerful running footsteps suddenly sounded. Then, the door of the closed room opened along with the sound of Inuyasha's scream that broke the silence.

"Shoumaru!!!"

Stepping into the room one step, Inuyasha's feet instantly froze looking at what was in front of him. On top of the futon, Sesshoumaru sat down with Rin holding Shura in his rut. The left hand holds the rice bowl, while the right hand holds the chopsticks.

Simultaneously, the eyes of Sesshoumaru, Rin, Shura and also Jaken were directed at Inuyasha who suddenly entered, but silently sculpted with shocked facial expressions mixed in confusion not believing what he saw

"Guk-guk-Gr....." Shura who saw Inuyasha suddenly barked loudly and growled full of anger.

"Shura, what's wrong?" rin asked confused by Shura's apparent dislike of Inuyasha. Patting his son, he tried to calm him down.

Sesshoumaru did not say anything seeing Shura's reaction to Inuyasha, he knew his son had still not forgotten the two blows to the head from the innuanyou last night. It seemed like his son was the type who would not easily forget and forgive the grudges or mistakes of others like Rin— smiled with satisfaction, the ruler of the western lands was pleased; shura was indeed similar to him.

"What's this bad attitude of yours, little one??!" hardik Inuyasha looked at the attitude of his nephew. Walking closer to them, he wanted to hit Shura's head back. "You should respect me, little one. I'm pama—"

"Osuvari."

"Ohhhhh!!!!" inuyasha's voice turned into a cry of pain. Heavy gravity instantly pressed his body downwards.

"Pardon Inuyasha's insolent attitude, Brother, Rin-chan." Laughing, Kagome walked in casually. Behind him, Miroku, Sango, Kohaku, Kenji and even Shippo followed.

Crouching down beside Inuyasha, Kenji laughed. "I think Kagome's stronger than Takeru, because you've never fought against her."

The eyes of all who were there were immediately directed at the flat-faced Sesshoumaru and Rin who was smiling gently at them. A feeling of relief filled their hearts as they saw the husband and wife pair of the ruler of the western lands were fine.

Slowly, the eyes of Kagome and Sango who were walking in were instantly centered on Shura full of smiles. This was the first time they had seen the figure of Sesshoumaru and Rin's son clearly.

Shura who was stared at by Kagome and Sango stopped growling, but, he quickly threw his face away and put his head on Rin's chest.

"Shura," Rin's smile looks at Shura's incomprehensible behavior. "Why is this?—they're your aunt and uncle, Shura."

Shura did not care, snorting softly, she continued to soak her face on Rin's chest and closed her eyes.

"I think he's embarrassed." Said Shippo slowly. Both of his eyes stared fixedly at the figure of the inuyoukai heir to the western land.

"I don't think he's ashamed, but he doesn't want to be disturbed." Miroku's smile interrupted Shippo's speech.

Kohaku nodded his head in agreement. Like the others, their eyes were directed at Shura. "Shura is really very similar to Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Yes!!" yelled Inuyasha who was behind all of a sudden. Raising his head and standing up, he looked at those in front. "The little one's bad nature is just as—"

"Osuvari." Mumbled Kagome once more. Not caring for Inuyasha who came back screaming in pain behind him.

"Ohhhhhh!!!" falling back on the tatami floor. Inuyasha returned motionless.

Kenji stood up and walked over to them. Smiling, he also looked at Shura's figure. "I actually wish she had a mother-like nature rather than her father."

Sesshoumaru still did not say anything, but, inwardly, he again felt very proud of the fact that his son resembled him. He had never expected himself to think like this before.

"Yes," Inukimi's voice suddenly sounded. Walking in, with Kiri and Kira behind him, the former ruler of the western lands stepped past Inuyasha who was still sprawled on top of the tatami. "I really wish my granddaughter was like little Rin who is like the sun. But, it turns out that my grandson ended up like his father who was a hunk of ice."

Kiri and Kira smiled and saluted Sesshoumaru and Rin. Slowly, their eyes were also directed at Shura who was in her mother's arms.

Increasing the number of people in the room, Sesshoumaru still did not care. Casually, she again feeds Rin a meal.

Rin was stunned and her face flushed instantly. He did not dare to open his mouth, it was impolite not to let Sesshoumaru bribe him before everyone.

Shura who hid her face on Rin's chest realized her mother's confusion and shame. Gnashing his face, he stared and gawked softly. "Jumpy-jump."

"Shura told you to eat, Rin." Sesshoumaru said slowly, his eyes looked at Rin straight whose face was turning red.

Sesshoumaru and Shura's attitude inevitably makes Kagome and the others, except Inukimi, Kenji, Kiri and Kira feel they are in the wrong place. But, the concerned don't care.

Seeing Rin still not eating, Shura then turned her face to look at the others. He only felt the arrival of the people in front of him had made his mother disturbed. Snarling with anger, he barked again. "Grr... woof!"

"Aahhh," Inukimi muttered and laughed at Shura's attitude. Walking closer to his grandson, both of his eyes gleamed happily. "It turns out my grandson is different from his useless father. Lookie! He wants to expel us for disturbing his mother—he dutiful son, unlike his ungodly father."

Rin immediately calmed Shura down. However, the small inuyoukai was unwilling to comply, he continued to bark to drive away those in front.

Inuyasha who could already move then stood up and walked closer to Shura. His two golden eyes stared fixedly at the small inuyoukai. "Hey, small!! Quiet up!!"

"Grp...Gr...It's woof!" shura's barking grew louder. Looking at Inuyasha who was right in front of him, once again, he thrashed in Rin's arms wanting to attack the innuanyou in front.

"You're gonna attack me??" inuyasha asked annoyed with Shura's attitude. "Come, come! Here, let your uncle teach you a lesson!!"

Kagome shook her head looking at Inuyasha's attitude. She did not understand why her husband was so childish; inviting the newborn inuyoukai not long to fight??

Rin lifted Shura slowly and kissed her forehead softly. Squeezing his son's body, he tried to calm him down again. "Shura, relax."

But, Shura did not hear, her bark grew louder. His eyes stared increasingly sharp and horrifying at Inuyasha—he didn't look like a newborn child for long.

"Shura," Sesshoumaru's voice suddenly sounded. Quiet and slow, but full of pressure and commands are undeniable. "Stop."

Sesshoumaru's voice instantly made Shura speechless. Staring at his biological father, he lowered his head downwards in accordance with the orders given.

Sesshoumaru's eyes were then directed at Inuyasha who was also instantly silent. The golden eyes that were identical to her did not know why she did not dare to be challenged now.

Seeing the calm state, once again, Sesshoumaru returned to feed Rin. His two eyes stared straight at his grisly not giving him a chance to refuse. "Open your mouth and finish your meal, Rin."

Unable to do anything about it, Rin closes her eyes and eats the rice that Sesshoumaru feeds.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kohaku and Shippo said nothing. The sight of Sesshoumaru feeding Rin was not something they were used to and accepted.

Inuyasha and the others are desperate to enter this room because they want to see the situation and are worried about Sesshoumaru and Rin who are seriously injured. Though their worries seem unnecessary now. Sitting quietly in silence, they all then looked at the ruler of the western land to feed the western earth until it was finished.

Shura did not make a fuss anymore, but sometimes his eyes were still fixed on those in front of him dislike, especially on Inuyasha.

Why do I feel like Shura is a mother complex sufferer?" muttered Kagome slowly looked at Shura's attitude.

"What do you mean, Kagome?" inuyasha asked confused by the word mother complex spoken by Kagome, as well as others, they stared not understand the future motto.

"Hahaha," Kagome laughed as she shook her hand as soon as she saw everyone staring at her. "It's okay, just ignore my talk earlier—hahaha."

Kagome's reaction and laughter instantly made all there was no further questioning. Strange and magical terms that are sometimes spoken by the future miko, they are used to it.

"Sesshoumaru," call Kenji later when he sees Rin's food running out. He smiled faintly at the ruler of the western lands who had re-scratched the bowl and chopsticks in his hand. "The bodies of the fallen western land youkai have been collected, if you are free, use tensaiga to revive them."

Sesshoumaru nodded his head slowly at Kenji's request. He did not mind the slightest bit of bringing the dead to life to protect Rin and Shura with him.

Inuyasha did not say anything, but his eyes widened. Sesshoumaru was really willing to turn them on?

"Sesshoumaru," Inukimi said. His eyes looked at Shura who was in Rin's arms. "I've asked the servants to prepare a feast to welcome the birth of Shura and the victory of war, and also according to tradition, we should introduce the future ruler to all the followers when he is one week old."

"Ughh, does this mean we're going to start a non-stop party again?" muttered Miroku slowly. He knows the party that the palace dwellers began to prepare on Kenji's orders. But, hearing it directly from Inukimi's mouth now—he doesn't know anymore how long and the magnitude of the party to be held.

Inukimi who heard Miroku's words laughed. "We'll party for a week until Shura's introductory party ends!!"

Rin smiles at Shura's introductory party that Inukimi says. Staring at his son, his right hand moved to hold the two forearms of the small inuyoukai. "Your introductory party, Shura—Rin can't wait for him."

Shura did not understand Rin's intentions, but seeing her smile and warm touch, she let out a small voice full of happiness and satisfaction.

"Next week," Sango murmured softly and smiled. "Meaning Aya, Maya, Mamoru and Shura had attended this party."

"Yes," Kagome replied quickly and laughed. "I will have Kaeda-san take the children to the western land palace as soon as possible."

Miroku nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, they should get acquainted with their cousins."

"Mamoru will definitely cry sadly when meeting Shura." Kohaku recalled Mamoru who kept saying the child in Rin's stomach was a daughter.

"Eh? Why?" tanya Shippo was confused. He who had no idea what had happened during these few months was staring at the bewildered everything.

"Mamoru to this day wishes Shura a daughter and will be his wife in the future." replied Inuyasha and folded his hands on his chest.

"Hey!" jaken shouted with anger. "Don't be insolent!! Shura-sama has a different status to all of you! He was the most honorable figure in the western lands of the future!!"

Miroku laughed and scratched his non-itchy head. He paid no attention to Jaken's screams. "Yes, Mamoru could be Shura—'s sisterhe would be happy for that."

"Chew," Inuyasha sneered and threw away his face. "This little one is too similar to his father. For Sesshoumaru, he was lucky enough to meet Rin, but for him—where else would he meet a woman like Rin??"

Inuyasha's words instantly stunned everyone. Slowly, the eyes were all directed at the figure of the ruling family of the western lands.

There is nothing wrong with Inuyasha. What Sesshoumaru used to be like, everyone knows and remembers, but now—Rin has really changed those inuyoukai completely.

"Inuyasha-sama," call Rin and laugh. Slowly, he lifted his face looking at Sesshoumaru. "You're wrong. It wasn't Sesshoumaru-sama who was lucky to meet Rin, but, it was Rinlah who was lucky to meet Sesshoumaru-sama."

No one said anything to Rin. They all felt that the human woman would definitely say that, because she always put that inuyoukai on top of her—Sesshoumaru really is a very lucky man right?

Sesshoumaru could only smile faintly at Rin's words. Who's lucky?—for him, he's the lucky one according to Inuyasha's words. In this world, he is indeed the luckiest man because he can get the love of a human woman in front of him.

"Law...Au.." the soft crying voice of Shura who wanted the attention of her two parents was heard again.

Staring at Shura, Sesshoumaru and Rin's eyes found the parched face of their son who again felt neglected.

Laughing, Rin gently caressed Shura's body affectionately. "Don't worry, Shura. Later, you will also definitely find a woman who is lucky and loves you like Rin who loves your father."

Shura closed her eyes and equalized herself to every affectionate caress in her head.

"You will always be loved, my son," Rin smiled and closed her eyes kissing Shura's soft forehead. "You were born to be loved.."

Opening his eyes, Rin smiles at those in front of him one by one, from Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kohaku, Jaken, Inukimi, Kenji, Kiri and Kira. "Uncle, aunt, grandma and grandpa—you're all willing to love and protect Shura someday, right?"

Rin's question made everyone smile and nod their heads. Inuyasha was the only one who threw away his face as if he didn't care.

"Currently, the little one was lucky because I was his uncle." Inuyasha murmured softly and closed his eyes. "But it's like he needs my love and protection someday."

Rin's smile only turned into laughter, showering her son once again with a kiss, she whispered softly. "You will always be loved son of west—you are always loved by your family.."

Sesshoumaru could only feel the warmth of Rin's words. Slowly, his golden eyes were directed at those in front of him. Uncle, aunt, grandmother and grandfather Shura—family Shura who turned out to have become his family.

Staring at Rin who kissed Shura, Sesshoumaru could only return with a small smile. Her world has changed, so does she—not knowing when, Rin turns out to have guided her into a world where everyone is, a large family that is warm and harmonious. Ah, the present Sesshoumaru is no longer the Sesshoumaru who is always alone.
