## Their Relationship

### Inuyasha The Final Act

**Toward Tomorrow**

Three years later, Rin tells Kaede to hurry as a baby is about to be born. Telling the young girl not to rush her, Kaede asks Rin where the master of the house has gone, learning that he had work to do. Kaede agrees that it's important for him to work as it's their third child. They both pass the Bone Eater's Well along the way.

Elsewhere, Miroku is exorcising a demon from a mansion in exchange for a bail of rice for each charm he uses; Miroku places three, which scares his customers. A canine demon escapes from the building, prompting Miroku to call for Inuyasha. Spacing out, Inuyasha hears Miroku and easily slays the demon. Carrying Miroku's payment, Inuyasha scolds his friend for still being a swindler; however, Miroku defends his actions by saying he has a lot of expenses now. This prompts Inuyasha to ask if Sango is having the baby now.

Inside Miroku and Sango's house, Kaede and Rin have successfully delivered the couple's new son. Miroku returns, wondering if the child was born; Sango invites him to hold his new son as their twin daughters look at their new sibling.

Kagome felt surprised that Rin is living with Kaede in the village, so she thought that Sesshōmaru take her with him, Inuyasha told her that Kaede advised Sesshōmaru to let Rin learn how to live amongst humans first so she can choose to resume traveling with him or live in a human village.

Kaede questions what kind of present Sesshōmaru gave Rin this time; Rin shows her that he brought Rin a new kimono (since that day she and Sesshōmaru first met).

### Hanyo no Yashahime

**Inuyasha: Since Then**

Six months later, Rin along with Kaede, Hisui, Kin'u and Gyokuto were protected from Ne no Kubi by Sesshōmaru.

**Farewell Under the Lunar Eclipse**

Years later, Rin would become Sesshōmaru's wife and give birth to their twin hanyō daughters, Towa and Setsuna at Kaede's village. However, they were taken away by Sesshōmaru afterwards as Zero intended to kill them to prevent the prophecy of her half brother Kirinmaru being defeated by a hanyō from happening.

**Secret of the Rainbow Pearls**

Towa tells Kaede that Setsuna is treating her like she's a kid and she’s the one who's older. Kaede tells Towa that she reminds her of her. Towa asks Kaede who it was and wonders if it's Setsuna. Kaede tells Towa 'no' as she's just like her mother. Towa asks Kaede if she knows her and Setsuna's mother. Kaede tells Towa that she knew her mother very well and they lived together for many years. Towa asks Kaede since she and Setsuna are hanyos then their mother was a human. Kaede tells Towa that her mother's name was Rin and she was a very kind soul however some time after she gave birth to her and Setsuna that she suddenly disappeared and she doesn't know if someone took her away or if she left on her own. In a flashback, Kaede wakes up when an unlit candle is knocked over and notices Rin isn't around and goes to look for her. Kaede tells Towa it has been about 14 years since then. Towa wonders if Rin died. Kaede tells Towa that may be so. Towa tells Kaede that it’s pretty cold for her to say that. Kaede apologizes to Towa and tells her that in their current day she’s all too familiar with life and death. Towa apologizes to Kaede as she really doesn't understanding anything. Kaede tells Towa just like her mother Rin that she's a kind child as she un-lights a candle. Kaede tells Towa that she hopes she at least get some good rest tonight. Towa tells Kaede 'okay' and 'thank you'. Kaede and Towa tell each other goodnight and goes to sleep. Towa has a dream of the Dream Butterfly taking dreams from Setsuna and the Sacred Tree, and a glimpse of Rin asleep in the Sacred Tree and wonders if she could be her and Setsuna's mother.
