Chapter 1 - Good-Bye Rin
Rin sang her little song as she walked long side of Ah-Un, skipping along the dirt path behind her Lord. Jaken walked with his hand on Ah-Un's ranes and also behind their Lord. Ah-Un was a 2 headed demon and Jaken was a little green imp that followed Sesshomaru every where they went, and as for Rin she is a 8 year old immature childish girl who met Sesshomaru when he was in the forest resting from having his left arm cut off by his half brother; InuYasha. Rin had come to visit him when he was in the forest spying on him behind a tree as he sat there with eyes shut loosely. When he eventually got better from Rin coming around and giving him some sort of company, he was about to leave when he smelt blood rushing toward the smell he seen the young orphan girl laying on the ground blood every where and wolfs mauling at her flesh. Sesshomaru's face being emotionless he shooed away the pack of wolves and went over to the orphan girl bring her back to life by slashing his sword; Tenseiga. Ever since that day Rin had thought that she should stay by his side cause she owed him her life after what he had done for her.
"Rin stop that impulsive singing!" The little imp squawked turning his head to look at the young girl. The girl was not shocked at what he had said, since he told her to stop her singing so often.
"Yes Master Jaken" Rin nodded and kept walking silently, Jaken looked forward his nose up in the air proudly like he always did when he told Rin to stop something, such as her singing. Well what else was there for a eight year old to do? She was walking around all the time she was not in a village like her old one that was demolished along with all the people who lived in the village. Rin walked along with her Lord, Master Jaken and Ah-Un all the time always silent with no words to speak. Maybe the occasional words of her Lord if he had any to say, the only person who wasn't occasional with speaking was Jaken cause he always mumbled something under his breath. Rin looked up and banged into her Lords leg, falling back on the ground. She made a small sound and stood to her feet, she looked around Sesshomaru and seen the village that was there. It was InuYasha's village. Rin's eyes widen as the thought of her Lord and his half brother meeting up. Why did my Lord lead us here?
"Sesshomaru! What are you doing here, you bastard!" A voice came to Rin's ears as she looked up to see the figure, none other then InuYasha. Rin's eyes widen. She never did like his brother, he always yelled and was so much scarier then Lord Sesshomaru. She stayed hidden behind Sesshomaru and stayed that way. Sesshomaru never shifted as he heard the voice come into his ears.
"I do not need to answer to a half breed" Sesshomaru said in a monotone voice and started walking past InuYasha and into the village. InuYasha growled and watched as his older half brother swept past him along with Rin running after him not liking the stare he was sending toward them. Jaken and Ah-Un walked at the same pace as Sesshomaru but just behind them. Sesshomaru having the advantage of having long legs had longer strides unlike Jaken with the stubby legs. They made it to a hut that Rin visited not often but she knew who's hut it was. It was Kaede's. Rin had wonder in her chocolate brown eyes, as she stared.
"Old woman" Sesshomaru called waiting for a response. Kaede heard his cold monotone voice and came out of the hut in her usual red and white kimono.
"Sesshomaru, what do ye need?" The old woman questioned as she waited for his answer.
"I need to speak with you old woman" He said looking down at the wrinkled elder. "Jaken" Jaken straighten up and spoke.
"Yes Milord?" Squeaked the little imp.
"Take Rin and entertain her while I speak with Kaede" He spoke in his deep voice. Jaken nodded not really up for his job of taking care of the girl but went and did what his lord wanted of him.
"Come on girl" Jaken spoke and leaded Ah-Un away and Rin ran up to catch up to them. Jaken tripped over a small pebble squawking little cries. Rin burst into giggles as she walked in front of the clumsy Jaken. Once they were out of ear shot Sesshomaru was leaded into the hut with Kaede. Sesshomaru sat down against the wall of the hut and lay his Tenseiga and Tokijin up against the wall as well. He watched as Kaede took her seat across from him.
"So what is it ye need?" She questioned once again looking for a answer from the great lord.
"This Sesshomaru wishes for you to take care of Rin until I return from my journey, I do not want Rin to be hurt or killed even, if she came along with me and if she did she most likely would with all the demons that are around for where this Sesshomaru is going" He spoke looking at the elder woman. The elder looked at him with suspicion.
"I grant ye wish, Ill take care of Rin for the time being but if it is of me to die then I will have to hand down the job to InuYasha and Kagome if they are willing" She spoke with kindness.
"Very well" Sesshomaru spoke standing to his feet with a nod of his head he took his swords and went out the door of the hut in search of Rin and Jaken. Walking toward the stench of wild flowers and Rin. He seen Rin picking flowers and throwing them in the air and Jaken squealing Rin to stop this nonsense. He soon stood in the patch of flowers and Rin instantly stopped looking up at her lord smiling happily.
"Rin you will be staying in this village from now on, you will no longer be traveling with me nor Jaken and Ah-Un" Spoke the voice of the great lord. In that instant Rin's heart shattered into a million pieces. Her eyes began to sting slightly.
"What did Rin do?" Rin asked with a saddened voice, she was on the verge of tears, trying to hold them in she squeezed her eyes shut tightly hiding her face she looked at the ground.
"Rin you did nothing, I'm not sending you away cause I want to I'm sending you away for you to have a normal life with people in this village and to find your lover, you should not be traveling if you do not need to" Sesshomaru's tone of voice didn't change one bit as this conversation was going on. Rin's body started shaking as she stood still in her place. Sesshomaru knelt down to her size and pulled her against his chest. Rin stayed there crying until her tears subsided. She pulled back and stared up into her Lord's amber eyes.
"Okay… If you so wish for Rin to stay Rin will for her Lord" She said with a small smile that brightened Sesshomaru every time he saw it he just didn't show any emotion. Sesshomaru stood back up to his full height and walked back to Kaede's hut, Rin followed close behind. A still shocked Jaken was walking extremely slowly toward the hut of the elder. He could not believe what his lord had done, he was sending Rin to stay here with the old woman, his half brother and his half brothers mate! Was their lord gone insane! Well.. Now his lord…Not really Rin's any longer. Jaken was saddened by the fact Rin wasn't going to be traveling with them anymore the little imp had a liking to Rin, but just did not show it. Soon they arrived at the hut. Rin was looking at her Lord and her smile faded away. She ran at him and hugged his leg not being able to hug him any other way. Sesshomaru looked down at the little girl clinging to his long leg. What he did next shocked any one that was watching. Sesshomaru picked up Rin and held her in his arms so she could hug him better. She wrapped her arms tightly around her Lord's neck and hid her face in the crook of his neck. He hugged her back and took in her scent for the time being that she hugged him. After awhile Rin broke the embrace and Sesshomaru put her back on the ground and he took something out of his kimono, he took out a sky blue kimono with light pink cherry blossoms scattered around and a light pink obi to match. Rin looked at it in amazement, she smiled at the gift as he handed over to her, she thanked him and held it in her arms. Rin looked over at Jaken to see the imp about to burst into tears. Rin looked at him curiously and then Jaken ran at her hugging the girl, Rin was surprised over all. Mostly cause Jaken never really didn't pay much attention to her only when she was singing and what not. Rin hugged the little imp back with a small smile. She walked over to Ah-Un and hugged they bent their heads down and Rin nuzzled their heads slightly as if to say goodbye. Rin walked back to the entrance of the hut and stood there for a bit.
"Good-Bye Rin" Sesshomaru said as he walked the other way back toward the forest.
"Good-Bye Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin shouted out as she was about to cry again as she watched her Lord, Jaken, and Ah-Un walk away into the forest. Rin walked into the hut and looked at Kaede sitting in down. Rin was shy and didn't know what to say.
"Ye room is over here" Kaede said as she stood and walked over to one of the curtains and pulled it back. Rin looked inside the room that had a sleeping mat in it and nothing more really but the walls around it. She thanked Kaede and sat the kimono her lord gave her on the sleeping mat and sat down in the corner of the room. When they all decide to eat, Rin did not want to…She was to depressed about this whole ordeal and did not know what to do… She was alone in the world again. After her Lord left she felt empty, nothing to live for. Her life was for him, he brought her back to life so he deserved to have her life. Rin fell asleep hugging her new kimono and cryed herself to sleep that night…
