\\\"Nothing could be worth the cost of Rin\\\'s life!\\\"
When Kagura dies he accepts easily that Tenseiga can\\\'t save her. He walks away calmly.
When Rin dies he breaks down and heads headlong into hell to save her. He is overcome by grief.
Directly after this, Sesshoumaru\\\'s mother calls Rin Sesshoumaru\\\'s \\\'beloved\\\' and compares him to his father and Izayoi.
In the third movie, Rin is the one the villain is trying to kill, and then says \\\'She is Izayoi\\\' (Rin is still the subject there, not Kagome) and then says \\\'They are both Izayoi!\\\' and tells Sesshoumaru that when the blades touch, he \\\'Knows all his secrets\\\'.
At the end of Episode 99, Kouga is talking to Hikaku and Ginta about Sesshoumaru and Rin and says \\\'I wonder why he keeps that kid around? If it was a pretty girl like Kagome, I could understand but... Hey, you don\\\'t think...?\\\' and then Hikaku and Ginta freak out and cover Kouga\\\'s mouth and say \\\'No! Don\\\'t speak of such a thing aloud!\\\'
Sesshoumaru, who does nothing nice for anyone, saves Rin\\\'s life, buys her a kimono in a pattern that is worn only by nobility, cares for her, and loves her. (Per his mother\\\'s words, Jaken\\\'s words, and the Japanese profile.) You can claim over and over that that profile is not canon, but it is found on sunrise and Rumiko\\\'s world, and if you could navigate Japanese websites, you would easily see that. That profile is OFFICIAL CANON. Oh, and I took the time to dig up more links that are official:
Shonen Sunday\\\'s official page, which links to ytv\\\'s offical page:
http://websunday.net/inuyasha/
Ytv\\\'s offical page, with character blurbs. Click on Rin\\\'s. You will see that it is the exact same profile, starting with 殺生丸を慕い。

殺生丸を慕い行動を共にしている人間の少女。
瀕死の殺生丸を介抱した直後、一度は狼に殺されたが、
殺生丸の天生牙によって蘇生した.
Note the fouth kanji 慕い, shitai, conjugated verb form of shitau 慕う, to love deeply, to adore, to yearn for. This is not paternal love.
He leaves her in the epilogue, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he is not her father. If he were her father, he would raise her.
Instead, he is bringing multiple gifts (Kaede\\\'s words \\\"Did Sesshoumaru-sama bring you a gift again?\\\" she says this as though it is common place, and no one even reacts to a taiyoukai coming to their village, including Inuyasha) including kimono which were courting gifts.
Then there is the talk of a \\\'choice\\\' Rin will make when she is older.
She is practicing \\\"human things\\\", \\\"for whatever choice she makes in the future.\\\" (Japanese version of manga).
She also conveniently got rid of Kohaku, the \\\'rival ship\\\' for Rin.
Takahashi-sensei left it open so that there was enough implication of future romance to satisfy the Sesshoumaru/Rin people, but enough of a question mark there to not gross out or offend the western audiences that have major issues with children being seen in romantic situations. (An issue the Japanese didn\\\'t have at that time in history, and even in modern day Japan, the age of consent is listed as 13 in the constitution, according to interpol\\\'s website.)
The historical precedent of the Tale of Genji is enough that you should realize that Japanese men had no problems taking 8 or 9 year old girls, grooming them into proper wives, and then marrying them when they reached the age of 12-15. Right or wrong, that is just history.
Sesshoumaru and Rin will never be a completely canon \\\'ship, however Sesshoumaru and Kagura are definitely NOT a canon \\\'ship.
