Heya! Phoenix here! So this is my first fan fic in this archive. And even worse, I suck at introductions in stories but please read this! So let me explain some things here:

Rin is not the Rin we know but Kagome's cousin from the modern era. This is the first time she is visiting Inuyasha and the gang. So the scene where Sesshomaru met Rin in the anime never happened.

Enjoy! And remember, please review.

"Rin-chan, hurry up!" called Kagome. She was waiting for her 13 year old cousin who was going to go inside the Bone Easter's Well for the first time with her.

"Coming, nee-chan!" called back Rin from the house.

Rin raced down the steps, two at a time. She was very eager to meet Inuyasha, Sango, Moronku…Kiroku….well whoever it was and a….Ship….that puzzled Rin for a moment but she brushed the thought aside as she thought of visiting the Feudal Era. She finally caught up with Kagome.

"I-I'm h-here." panted Rin.

Kagome looked at her little cousin. Her face was full of excitement. Rin had come to visit during summer vacation to Kagome's house to visit her cousin and her family. She had over heard them talking about some Feudal Era and had immediately asked Kagome what it was about. A bit hesitant at first, Kagome told her the whole story about how she met Inuyasha and how they were on a quest for jewel shards. Rin had immediately said that she wanted to come with her.

"Are you sure you want to come, Rin-chan? The Feudal Era is very dangerous you know." said Kagome.

"Sure I'm sure. I want to come!" answered Rin.

"Alright then! Hope inside the well! I'll come in after you."

"Okay." said Rin.

She took a deep breath and jumped inside the well praying that something bad wouldn't happen. Hardly a second later, Rin opened her eyes and found herself in a beautiful green scenery. She smelled the fresh air. She was enjoying herself already.

"I can see that you're happy." said Kagome coming out of the well.

Rin grinned at her.

But before Rin could answer, a loud shout was heard.

"Oy, Kagome!"

Rin turned towards the direction of the sound and her eyes widened. A boy with long white hair wearing red robes came into view. This had to be Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha." beamed Kagome.

"Who's the kid with ya?" he asked.

"She-"

"Kagome-chan!"

"Kagome!

"Kagome-sama."

A young girl who looked a few years older than Kagome came into view followed by a young man who looked like a monk and a….very tiny…fox. This had to be Sango, Miranaku and Ship.

"Who's this Kagome-chan?" asked Sango.

"Everyone, this is Rin. She's my cousin and she's visiting us all. Say hello, Rin!"

"H-Hi." said Rin shyly.

"Hey, Rin!" said a small voice.

"Ah! You must be Ship...though you don't look like one."

"Shippo! I'm not a…ship. Whatever that is." said Shippo at once.

"They don't know what a ship-" began Rin.

"Remember, this is the Feudal Era!" said Kagome.

"Oh…oh yeah." said Rin sheepishly.

"It's nice to meet you, Rin. May I call you Rin-chan?" asked Sango.

"Of course." smiled Rin.

"A pleasure, Rin-sama. Though it would have been nice if you were a bit older…." said the young man.

BONK!!!!!!

Sango had hit Miroku's head with a…boomerang…at least, it looked like one.

"I…mean….it's nice to meet you, Rin-sama." amended Miroku.

Rin giggled.

"Keh! What're we gonna do with this kid?" asked Inuyasha.

"Like I said she's come to visit so be kind to her, Inuyasha!" said Kagome.

"Tch. Just another distraction from the jewel shards-"

"Osuwari! shouted Kagome.

Inuyasha went crashing into the ground.

"What was that for?" asked a fuming Inuyasha.

"Don't worry about Inuyasha. He'll come round." said Shippo re-assuringly.

"Tch."

Rin sat and talked with everyone…except Inuyasha who refused to sit with her. This made Rin a bit sad but she smiled at the others anyway. After a while, she approached Inuyasha.

He looked at her.

"What?" he grunted.

"Umm….its pleased to meet you, Inuyasha. I'm sorry if I'm being a burden disturbing you from the jewel shards." said Rin softly.

Inuyasha's expression softened slightly.

"Just….don't get in the way." he said.

"That means he likes you." whispered a voice from the trees.

Rin looked up to see grinning Shippo.

"When did you get here, Shippo?" asked Inuyasha angrily. "Have you been spying?"

"Nope. Just making sure you don't make Rin-chan cry." answered Shippo.

"Oh, fine, fine….the reason I was rude to you, Rin was cuz I was just excited to see you that's all." said Inuyasha gruffly.

"Really?" asked Rin happily.

…

"Ano…by the way…" began Rin.

"What?"

"Can I touch your ears?" she whispered.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Go ahead."

But before she could, suddenly Inuyasha froze and got up.

"Sesshomaru." thought Inuyasha.

"Inuya-"

"Shhh! Quiet, Rin!" said Inuyasha. "Now, listen. I want you to hide behind the trees ok?"

"But…"

"Just do as I say!"

Rin scurried behind a few trees. She heard the others speaking.

"That's Sesshomaru right?" asked Kagome.

"No doubt."

"What does he want now?" asked Sango.

"I bet he wants the sword…again." said Inuyasha angrily. "He smells angry."

"Should we leave now? Go somewhere else before he-"

"Too late, Miko." said a cold, deep voice.

Rin shivered. Just the sound of this person made her feel bad.

She heard Kagome gasp.

"Sesshomaru! What do you want now?" growled Inuyasha.

"What do you think, little brother? I want that sword." replied Sesshomaru.

"Too bad cuz you're not getting it." retorted Inuyasha.

"Still the same old….but what is this? You have a new scent with you?" asked Sesshomaru.

He looked directly at the spot Rin was now.

"How pathetic. Another human. You could start a human sanctuary, Inuyasha." said Sesshomaru.

"Reveal yourself, human." commanded Sesshomaru.

Rin slowly crept out from behind the trees and nearly fainted. This "Sesshomaru" looked scary.

"Like I said, Inuyasha. The sword."

Rin looked into his eyes which looked like slits. She gulped.

"Told ya already, you're not getting it!"

"Very well, then. I shall take the new human child."

Bang! A brick in Rin's chest. She started panting heavily.

"NO!" shouted Kagome. "Sesshomaru, please, not my cousin!"

"Your relative? All the more reason to take her, miko.

"Rin-chan, run!" shouted Kagome.

Rin ran in the opposite direction as fast as her legs could take her.

"This is why….Kagome-chan told me not to come." thought Rin desperately as she ran.

She felt someone approach her steadily…

Well? How was it? I tried my best in this chapter. I suck at intros but I promise the next ones will be better. Please review.
