Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha. I also do not own 'Runaway' By: Groove Coverage. Or any other song I might refer to.

A/N: This will be shorter then my other InuYasha story. I hope you enjoy it. Of course I'm not going by the actual InuYasha ending. Hehe. It would not be FanFiction if I did. I will be using the song 'Runaway' By: Groove Coverage later in this story, hence the name. I hope to keep Sessh in character. I'm sorry if he slips. It won't be too much, I hope. Well, enough babbling from me.

Happy Reading!

Runaway

It has been some years since Naraku's death. To a certain youkai Lord, it was as if Naraku was never living in the first place.

Sesshomaru still wondered his lands to make sure that everything was the way he wanted. Nothing more and nothing less. He was still allowing Jaken, Ah-Un and Rin to follow him. Yes, he was such a great Lord. He allowed these beings to be in his presence. They should be grateful.

That they were.

Jaken still hung on every word that escaped the lips of his Lord. He watched after the not so young Rin as he was told, even if he protested. He was still also very annoying. Nothing had changed. Nothing other then the fact that he had actually grown to care for the human girl as if she was a niece.

Ah-Un was still very protective of the girl that knew just were to scratch his heads. The two headed youkai loved the girl and would give it's life for her. He had proved that many times. Luckily, the child was always able to nurse his wounds and save his life. The youkai was grateful. He would not want the child to be sad over him.

As for the child Rin, she was no longer a child. She had grown into a woman that any male would be happy to marry... or even mate. She was very good at nursing wounds, sewing, cooking and even holding intellectual conversations. After all her years with the youkai Lord, she had picked up a few things.

:

As of late, the great youkai Lord had been thinking more and more about an heir. If he did not mate, then his land would go to his hanyou brother. The thought it's self-made the Lord want to shiver, but he refused to do something so weak.

It was late and his loyal followers were fast asleep. The youkai Lord, on the other hand, was deep in thought. He watched the sleeping form of Rin. She was in her early twenties. He assumed. 'Maybe I should just mate with her? She would allow my heir to be smart, handsome and even strong, for a hanyou.'

Sesshomaru thought about that for the remainder of the night. He did not need sleep as often as the others did, so one sleepless night would not kill him. When the others awoke the next day, Rin started the morning meal. Jaken, Ah-Un and Rin ate hungry and their Lord just watched.

Rin noticed that her Lord and protector was not eating and that he also seemed to be in deep thought. She had finished her meal and filled her bowl for seconds, but instead of eating it herself, she stood and walked over to Sesshomaru, who was leaning against a nearby tree.

Sesshomaru noticed the Rin was coming his way, but he did not move or even acknowledge her. He waited for her to speak before he looked up at her smiling face.

"M'Lord, would you like something to eat this morning?" Her voice was cheerful and her eyes sparkled in the early morning light.

Sesshomaru took the bowl the girl only to see her smile widen.

Night came quickly.

The stars brightly lit up the sky along with help from the crescent moon that hung high in the sky. The small group found a clearing that would do well for the night. After everyone had settled down, Sesshomaru took in the surroundings and he could hear and smell a hot spring near and thought that the girl would enjoy it. It had been awhile since he allowed her any luxuries.

"Jaken, you and Ah-Un watch the camp. Rin, come with me." Sesshomaru crossed his arms over his chest and begin to walk with Rin close behind. He stopped when he heard a voice behind him.

"M'Lord! Why do you take the girl into the woods? Is something amiss?" Jaken quickly froze from fear when he saw the glare from his Lord.

"When will you learn to not question me?" Sesshomaru was now in a bad mood and everyone knew.

Jaken decided not to anything else and walked over to Ah-Un and watched as his Lord and Rin walked into the dark forest.

:

Rin followed close behind her Lord and said nothing. She knew that he was upset and she did not want to get on his bad side. She knew that he had never hurt her, but she wanted to keep it that way. She had great respect for the youkai and wanted him to be in good spirits, always.

The two finally come to a clearing. Rin's eyes lit up as she saw a hot spring. It was beautiful. There were rocks surrounding the little spring and it was right beside a mountain. The mountain had a little waterfall flowing into the spring. The waterfall was not big, by any means, but it was still beautiful.

Sesshomaru almost frowned. 'How can she get so excited over a hot spring?' Sesshomaru walked over to the girl. "Enjoy." He then walked over to a tree and sat so that his back was to her.

His voice might not have been soft, but just that one word made Rin smile. She would not have him change; he was perfect just the way he was. She then realized that she was day dreaming and decided that she should take her bath.

:

"I'm ready to go back now M'Lord." She smiled as she walked over to the youkai still sitting in the same place he had first sat down at.

Sesshomaru stood and looked at the girl, no women before him. He had been thinking the whole time and had made a decision. "Rin, you are going to be my mate and give me an heir."
