Sesshomaru; Heart of gold, or cold blooded killer?

I've seen this pop up on many forums, but for some reason not here... :P well the question is, is Sesshomaru soft under that cold stare, or is he nothing but stone and ice?

Most would argue (option 1) because he lets Rin follow him around, but I disagree. The main reason he let's her tag along is because she saved his life, and he saved hers, so she feels like she owes something to him (even though she may not) and who is he to turn down a little girl?

In the beginning of Inu Yasha he had to appear that way since he didn't exactly know any people who didn't want to kill him,so of course he would hate humans and want to kill them.

sesshomaru in the past didnt know about human emotions or feelings....come on he is a bad !@# killer...but when he meet Rin, he is discovering these human psychology....things he never felt b4....thing that were required to weild the tetsaiga in the first place....things that were holding him back from realising true power

I don't know what to say about him...He does possess a hatred for humans but with Rin he seems to almost care about her in his own cold, heartless way. He's Rin's protector and yet he doesn't show any emotion towards her. To me Sesshomaru is almost indifferent towards Rin. What do you guys think?

i think Rin is like a window for sesshomaru, a window to show what humans r mentally...and thus y sesshomaru cant wield the tessaiga because he is not human

I wonder did people ever try to overthrow sesshomaru during the 50 years inuyasha was out and that could've been a point where sesshomaru began taking out samurai like in the beguinning chapters when sess was first introduced.

what i like about the inuyasha storyline is how they made sesshomaru's character very essential to the story. His charracter showed inuyasha how he could have becom if he became a full demon.

I think Sesshomaru is still a cold hearted killer even though he lets Rin follow him around. He lets Rin follow him around because she saved his life and this is the only way he thinks he can repay her. Has anybody ever seen InuYasha movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler? If you have, then you probably remember the part where Sesshomaru remembers when his father asked him if there was anybody he would protect. When he remembers that, Rin and Jaken flash in his mind. He would protect them with his life, but not anybody else. It's just my opinon.

I think the only person who can answer that question about Good ol' Fluffy is Rumiko Takahashi, cause I don't have a clue, there's good arguments for both sides.
On the bad side of things, he's definitely had his cold hearted moments of death & destruction and we all see how he treats InuYasha, not to mention his stand on the human race...having no issue with annihilation adn whatnot.
.....on the other hand....
He's demonstrated his power many times and we've all seen that if he wanted to he could've taken out InuYasha plenty of times, he's never taken much action towards humans (seemingly influenced by his father's better nature) and seems concerned more with preserving InuYasha's reputation than destroying him. adn then there's his tolerance of Jaken and his uncharacteristic protection of Rin???

easy to say, he's supposed to be of the villain type, but maybe he's supposed to have nothing more than a sibling rivalry...have to ask Rumiko next teim we see her :)
