Um okay, I have always seen Sesshomaru and Rin as nothing more than platonic and therefore I agree with almost all of this, but one part of it REALLY bothered me:No. Sesshomaru was left with an overbearing inferiority complex and fear of the inability to protect, even reprimanded by his own father, probably the only person he had respected, only for his father to favour his younger half-brother without any explanation. If Rin was being trained as his wife, then why would she do with Inuyasha or Rumiko Takahashi, does that means that that's A: She does not take no for an answer.
