It was time for Rin to make a decision, the day has come. She was Seventeen nearly eighteen and has now learned the ways of a human life versus one with the demon lord. She already knew her choice, she would follow Sesshomaru forever, it was just telling the people she now considered family that was troubling her. It's been a few years since she's seen her lord's face. Of course he still dropped by to bring her items but it was always the times where she was either not there, sleeping, or doing something.

He wouldnt stick around either, just drop off the things to kaede, leave a short message and then vanish. A sad smile came onto the girl's pink lips. Kaede passed a year ago as so she's been living with Kagome and Inuyasha with their children Natsumi and Hitori. She missed Kaede terribly and what made it worse was when Sesshomaru didn't come around much after that. He still left presents on her window sill though but she still never saw was on this exact day, when the flowers began to bloom is when Kaede gave her Sesshomaru's message and gifts.

"Milord has come by?" Rin asked eagerly when she noticed the gifts in Kaede's hands."What did he say, what did he say?"She jumped in anticipation, she looked forward to days like this. Kaede handed her the presents, it was a beautifully crafted and en-crested comb and a red liquid in a shell to color her lips, much like kikyo used to have kaede pointed out at the time. Apparently Kaede had told her lord when he questioned how Rin was doing of her irritation with her hair supplies breaking and worried of her face being too plain sometimes. Her hair had become considerably long and a bit thicker throughout the years. "These are beautiful" Rin mused. She then wondered where he could have gotten them from.

"Neigh child" called Kaede. Rin snapped to attention from her entrancement "Yes'm?" "Sesshomaru tells that on this day next year is when you should make a decision. you are of age. Young one...make your choice wisely" Rin already knew her choice, although she loved the people here and how life was she longed to be at her lord's side once again.

"Rin are you positive you want to go through with your decision? there's time to back out.." Kagome said eyes sad while Inuyasha stood beside her with an impassive but slightly frowning look on his stood close, their affection for one another radiating off them in waves.

'Must be nice..' Rin thought 'to be in love'. she couldn't help but feel a little she ever gonna find a love like theirs?

"Yes I'm sure. Thank you for everything" She bowed her dark tresses following her. Rin felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see that it was Inuyasha who had a very serious look on his face. "If he mistreats you in anyway, come to me and ill deal with the bastard myself" She gave him a small smile, she was grateful for his defense but was sure that it wasn't necessary. She thanked him anyways and picked up the pink bag Kagome got her from her world to put all her clothes in. She thanked them once more for taking care of her before taking her leave telling them she would like to wash up before her journey so Sesshomaru could smell her out. Though that was only half the truth, she truly did want to smell fresh in time to face him. She was also sure that he didn't want to be near his noisy half brother either, nonetheless her smelling like him and she wanted him in a good mood.

Why did she want to do all of this when it didn't matter before,she was around the time she was thirteen when she had become...uneasy around him. Not uncomfortable uneasy but cautious uneasy. She would always scramble to make herself presentable when he came to visit and that time she would see him and he would listen to her babble before giving her a present and then leaving...that was before he stopped making his presence known and just dropped off gifts to kaede. His gaze or glance at her would make her heart quicken and the mere thought of him made her cheeks heat up and caused her stomach to flutter. She fount it natural at first, she was going through changes and he was attractive. It became a problem when they didn't go away after a few years which lead her to where she was now. She knew that she shouldn't be feeling this way towards her lord, but she couldn't help it and if she could she would have gotten rid of these troubling feelings long ago. Maybe that's what drove him away to not show up in her presence anymore. Had he noticed her affections for him? her lord was not a fool so it could very well be most likely so. And when she thought of that she worked harder to conceal her feelings in hopes that maybe they would truly go away one day if she acted like they weren't there. She's even tried to do so like date other males but it was to no avail...she longed for him and she had a feeling that being by his side once more would complicate matters. She was no longer a child but nearly if not already a woman. But she wanted to be with him no matter the had a debt to him she may never be able to repay but she was forever grateful and she would prove that by being by his side and helping him as much as a fragile human like herself could to a powerful demon such as him.

While in her thoughts her feet were on autopilot and she soon reached the hot-spring that was near the village. She didn't waste time getting in. If she was correct her lord would be here when the stars kissed the dark sky and the moon came out of liked the night and did most things during it so no doubt he'd be here soon. It was sundown meaning she had about a half and hour to bathe,even some time to relax. The area she was in was warm and she swam around a bit, when she got to the hotter side of the spring she popped her head back up and let herself relax,pinning her long hair to one side. She had filled the bath with an herb that was good for her body and left a nice scent on her skin that wasn't overwhelming. That's what she loved the most about herbal baths especially. She was pretty much finished when she felt a powerful aura nearby. She was no priestess like Kaede or Kagome but she was taught of how to sense a powerful demon based in her five senses. The change in the wind, the atmosphere, the goosebumps on her skin, the way nature creatures seemed to scurry as to get away from it.

'Great' She inwardly what she needed while trying to bathe, some demon interrupting it by attempting to eat her for dinner, most likely thinking a human especially a female one was easy prey. Casually Rin reached over and grabbed her bow and arrow just in case. Kagome had taught her some archery while Inuyasha taught her some defense mechanisms and survival skills and Kaede had taught her how to sense demons and how to make purification's to keep them out. She stood up and aimed the arrow in the direction the trees and bushes were rustling.

'Who's there?!" She yelled threateningly not worried about the fact that she was naked. She was prepared for anything.

What she wasn't prepared for was a little green imp with a two headed staff appearing from the now dark forest with the two headed demon animal ah-UN.

She gasped and was filled with delight at seeing his face again, so much that she scooped him up and hugged him obliviously pressing him against her chest. "Master Jaken! oh how good it is to see you, Ive missed you!" Like Sesshomaru after he stopped making his presence known to her so did jaken so the last time she saw her lord was the last time she saw him too.

The green imp squirmed against her hold. "Insolent child! put me down at once!" his voice was slightly muffled due to being pressed against the girl's chest. Rin giggled and did as he asked which prompted him to drop into the hot water.

He did ask her to put him down.

Jaken sputtered curses as he swam his way back the land. "Dammit..lord...put me..fetch...this child" The rest was incoherent. Rin found it funny that was still calling her a child when she was now bigger than him and of age. With how old he is though she might as well still be considered an infant. "Put on some clothes! Lord Sesshomaru is waiting! careless girl" He said after turning his back to give her a privacy.

She couldn't retort to that as she usually would because her mind was filled of her lord. It really wasn't best to keep him waiting and with reddish cheeks she was hoping was the cause of the steam, she scrambled to put on her yukata. Her favorite, all black with stars on it, obviously Lord Sesshomaru liked it too because he always stared up at the night sky of what looked like serenity. Rin put her wet hair in a braid since she had no time to dry it under Jaken's pressure and put some of the thick red liquid in the seashell on her lips. Only a little though to make her lips look more pinkish and give it a shine.

By the time she knew it, she was riding ah-UN with her stuff on his back and heading to the person she longed to see for years and she was anxious, excited, happy and nervous all at the same time. She tried to focus on excited and happy only but as they left the woods and reached the clearings and she saw what she saw she was anything the opposite of that.
