You'd never had kids of your own. Hell, the thought barely crossed your mind with how busy you were lately just keeping yourself alive. You promised yourself that if you ever wanted to, you'd want until you had a stable source of income and a loving partner. Unfortunately for that line of thought, your love life was about as existent as your children. You never did find the right man to settle down with, and for some time, you thought you never would. Yet, here you were, half asleep, with the little girl you'd come to love sat nestled between your arms, her chest rising and falling to the pattern of her sleepy breathing. Not only did you care for her, but you'd begun to see her as something of your own to look after. She was just a child, after all. After hearing about the fate that fell upon her parents, you couldn't bear to leave her once she attached. The young thing had been through so much, and yet her smile held the brightness of a thousand suns, like she'd never known sorrow. Eventually, you promised her you'd stay with her and her merry band.
The group leader, Sesshomaru, seemed to tolerate you at most. He never said much more than what was needed, never wanting to waste his breath talking to a dispensable being like you. Even so, his icy demeanor was warmed ever so slightly when he bore witness to the way you'd hold Rin in your arms like a mother would. Much like you, he had found something worth protecting in her and took on a parental role in her life. Like it or not, you two were co-parenting the same little girl. It started off as small glances in your direction, nothing more. Just a small look as you braided flowers in Rin's hair, intertwining them with her ponytail. Then, you saw the way his mouth tensed in an almost-smile watching you entertain the girl. You were so good to her, so soft and gentle. He couldn't help but feel something tug at his heart strings when he saw your relationship with her blooming. After all, he always wanted what was best for Rin. It seemed as though you were just that. Slowly but surely, he began to engage with the two of you, learning from you how to braid and wrap flowers together to form a crown. It became routine, the three of you spending your time together growing as a family. Sesshomaru knew what he felt wasn't familiar to him, that it was love, pure and overwhelming. Surprisingly to him, he wasn't afraid or repulsed from it. He welcomed the sensation as thoroughly as he began to welcome you into their found family. If he was Rin's father, you were her mother. Partners, by proxy. His indifference turned into affection in a smooth gradient, but over time, you saw the difference and the warmth in how he approached you. Rin had unknowingly tied those red strings around the fingers of the both of you, drawing you in to each other. You found that this strange family was all you really ever needed. You had found a home here, and you were more than willing to honor your promise of staying within it. Fin.
