Hey! Thanks for clicking! I'm just here to say this won't be tragic, but there IS going to be A LOT of angst.

A deafening roar was heard throughout the Western Palace warning the servants and courtiers to say away from their Lord if possible. If not then to be humble and quiet so as not to become a target of his ire. This marked the third or fourth time that the Lord of the West has lost his composure, and everyone knew he was not one to lose control easily.

Two men hearing the roar shook their heads, feeling their plans fall apart. It was a roar of loss, rage. The terrible growls following the roar promised pain to all who had ever crossed the Lord. The two men knew, it was time to either flee the West or to disband their household and go underground. Their plans have been discovered, they could not stay. But where can they go? It won't be long before word of their failed plans spread through Japan. They would be a laughing stock. But they cannot understand, they had known the risks calculated it every step of the way. How could an enemy pawn, have the power to throw their entire game askew?

In the forest on the other side of the Palace, the Lady Mother, Tsukimi, sat on her patio sipping tea as she watched her son destroy trees. Completely transformed he decimated the woods. The culprit of this tantrum laid on the little table before her. A simple piece of paper, that held more weight than anyone could imagine. Words written in her daughter in law's carefully practiced calligraphy, read:

Dear Lord Sesshomaru,

If you are reading this, then Rin has already left. Rin is eternally grateful for your years of care. When Rin returned to your side, she was very happy to have finally gained the love and trust of the one person she holds dear. Sesshomaru-sama has helped Rin in many ways, now it is finally Rin's turn. The Seiyō No Kuni has been ruled by Inu-youkai of the Tsuki House for many millennia. This one knows Lord Sesshomaru loves both the West and Rin. However the fates are cruel and you cannot have both. This one does not want you to live with either choice so she made it your stead. With Rin gone, ambitious nobles wishing to bring about the downfall of the Tsuki House may find themselves losing support. By leaving Rin hopes to preserve the Tsuki reign of Seiyō No Kuni. Rin loves you, Lord Sesshomaru, she does not want to see you lose everything. You'll be fine, rely on Lady Mother, she's there to help you.

Please attend to your duties wholeheartedly, Rin will always pray for Lord Sesshomaru and Seiyō No Kuni.

Forever yours,

Rin,

So how was it? Hopefully I didn't scare you way. I promise they WILL be together, but it'll be one hell of a roller-coaster. Ja Ne~!
