Title: Surprise my mind

Rating: T

Genre: Drama/Romance?

Summary: AU, Sesshomaru has always been a cold business dealer in England, so when a young girl named Rin was found on his doorstep in only rags, he had been thinking of the words: "Get off my porch!" but what came out had been: "What happened to you, girl?" It was only the start of what began. Sesshomaru, who has cared nothing for anyone, was suddenly seeing young Rin as his daughter...Or maybe something more?

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Notes/Warnings: Two-shot or chaptered; AU; Set in Medieval England; Sesshomaru/Rin?

The low down: Sesshomaru is the controller of demons and keeps them from getting in trouble and saves them from execution from the king, James I. England has blends of half-breeds, demons, and humans. The lesser are half-breeds and surprisingly, humans. All demons originated from Japan and went to England after an over population. Our story starts at the date of December 17th, 1610...

Part I

The day was growing to its peak, Sesshomaru realized, the fur hanging along his neck and arm. Winter seemed more cold than usual. What annoyed this certain male was that the snow was falling gracelessly on him and others. It was merciless to its victims and seemed to care nothing for the ones it hit. Sesshomaru had been waiting for his carriage for far to long and when it arrived, the driver was going to get his ass chewed for being very, horribly unfashionably late. He heard the clops of a horse and he glanced through the corner of his eye at his carriage that approached. The driver swallowed, seeing a small pile of snow on his master's head and knew that Sesshomaru hadn't moved from the spot for nigh (1) an hour. He jumped down from his seat and opened the door, trembling for fear of his punishment. The demons in England were more ruthless than the human nobles. Luckily, the driver thought, demons didn't possess as much greed as humans did. He felt his back stiffen when Sesshomaru paused by him. His master shoved him into the snow, his face remaining blank, but his eyes flashing. Cold snow impaled his face, making his whole body become near to frozen. At last, Lord Sesshomaru released him and stepped into the carriage, shutting the door behind him. Shivering, the driver, rubbed his face rapidly, hopping onto the seat. This, he reflected, is the reason I hate working for Lord Sesshomaru.

The night was drawing forward and Rin had been kicked out of her working quarters for the umpteenth time without food. She wanted to go and sleep, but then she might die, considering how cold she was. Her feet pressed into the snow and she shivered from the frost. The chilly wind shot against her body, almost throwing her against the ground, but she refused to surrender her life simply because of the winter. Rin had, of course, known that something like this would happen. She had suspected that she would be left to be eaten away by hunger, frostbite, and sickness. Every mistress and master she had seemed to resent her. She stumbled in the snow and landed near a gate. She blinked and crawled through it, wondering if there might be a shack or something on the property. If she was found, Rin would surely be turned into the authorities and put to work for another heartless master/mistress. Dragging herself towards the castle, she slumped onto the porch and felt warm air passing over her. Curious and hopeful, she turned around, before she found the vent that was coming from the basement. Curling up next to it, she rested her head against the railing, before she felt sleep overcome her...

Damn that sun, Lord Sesshomaru thought, first thing as he woke up. The sunlight streamed into his bedroom, nearly blinding the demon. He cursed the mortal that had opened his curtains as he stormed out of his room. There was one servant that was caught in his path that had been thrown down the stairs in his bitter attitude. He brought the fur against him, keeping him from the coolness of the castle. Fires had gone out and were just now being rekindled. It seemed stuffy inside of the castle, so Sesshomaru made the decision of getting a breath of fresh air - however brief it was. He unlocked the door and opened it, feeling brisk air thread through his silken hair. As he was about to turn and shut the door, he caught a glimpse of something near the basement's vent. He paused and walked forward, his slippers sinking into the snow. Taking no heed, he nudged it - whatever it was - and almost instantly it awoke.
