Could it be "A Demon Lord's Cry" by Kagome Yuki Niwa? Here's the link: www.dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/4361/1
Rated MA, so NO YIMS!

Hello, I'm looking for a story that I read years ago, at the time it hadn't been completed. It focuses on Rin's death and Sesshoumaru getting lost in grief. He shows up at Edo with Rin dead in his arms. It takes days to convince Sesshoumaru to let go of Rin and allow the villagers to bury her. Of course Kagome is the only one who can approach Sesshoumaru. As I recall, the villagers bring offerings to Sesshoumaru while he guards Rin's tomb. I believe that Kagome slowly brings Sesshoumaru out of his severe morning. I can't remember much else. Does anyone remember this fanfiction? Thanks!

If not the story you're looking for, this sounds thematically similar to Tales from the House of the Moon by Resmiranda. The link takes you to FanFiction.net, not here on Dokuga. Story is rated M on FanFiction.net, but contains at least one sex scene near the end, so it would likely be rated MA here. So, no YIMS!

Thank you for the information. The story, "Tale From the House of the Moon" is a wonderful fanfiction. It is very similar to the story that I'm looking for but unfortunately it is not the right story. I will continue to keep searching.

Well I just checked out the fanfiction, "The Demon Lord's Cry". Unfortunately it is not the one that I'm searching for. Thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion though. I really appreciate it.

Hello,
I do not know the story you are searching for, but there had been a "searching for a fic" request very similar to yours. Here is the link:http://www.dokuga.com/forum/2-searching-for-a-fic/106232-fic-rin-dead-sess-in-anguish-found-by-inu-a
Go and check it out, maybe there is the one you are looking for.

Good luck!!!

I believe you're looking for "A Self Called Nowhere" by Noacat which can be found, unfinished, on the 'Spark archive: http://www.dokuga.com/spark/story/2455/1

This story is rated NC-17 there and is MA here, NO YIMs!

Enjoy!
