Well my friends, it is done.  I have just posted the 20th and final chapter of "One Life".  I think I need a glass of wine.

**************************************************************************
One Life

My first fanfiction ever. An Inuyasha fanfiction centered around the romance of Sesshoumaru and an older Rin. It is (hopefully) full of romance, mystery, angst, inner turmoil, betrayal, and more.

*Disclaimer* Rumiko Takahashi is the owner of the manga/anime "Inuyasha" and all Inuyasha characters. I do not claim to own these characters, nor do I $$profit from my fanfiction.

Summary
Rin is a young woman now, and though she could not ask for a better life, she is discovering a deeper longing for her Demon Lord master, and is fighting her feelings of her own human inadequacy. Sesshoumaru has a territory to rule over and a very old promise to fulfill, but his own traitorous feelings for Rin are threatening to get in the way of his duty to his lands and his demon pride and honor.

I had this picture in my head and searched for it for hours when I was writing a particular scene. Can you guess which scene it was?

NC-17

A Rin and Sesshoumaru romance for the history books! This is an Alternate Universe story set in modern times. Written in first person, Rin's POV, this unique story takes you through almost two years of a teenage Rin's life after tragedy strikes. The reader is taken for a roller coaster ride of emotions as we fall in love and get our hearts broken time and time again, learn to trust, learn to live, and become an adult. The relationship in this story is truly magical, and Rin's transformation throughout the story deserves a second and third read! For those who do not like reading Sesshoumaru OOC, this may not be your fav, but you should still read it!

A perfect little Oneshot. Just what was the great Lord Sesshoumaru thinking and feeling when he met Rin? This perfect piece answers just that question.

PG-13

This little fic was done for the Moonlight Flowers "Opportunity Breeds Desire" theme. the description and characterization is flawless and the writing is superb. You won't want to miss this!

Rin is grown, but the tendancy for trouble that cursed her as a child curses her still. How does Lord Sesshoumaru handle the young woman now?
