A/N: Hey everyone! School's out and I got a new story! I don't know if I'm going to finish it yet, it depends if anyone likes it so review please! ^_^
Kagome threw her backpack over the rim of the well before climbing out of it herself. She smoothed down her uniform skirt and gazed around her, taking in the site of land unblemished by the machines of the future. As she was reaching down to grab her pack she realized something was missing.
'Where's Inuyasha?!'
It was very odd that Inuyasha wasn't waiting for her by the well. He was always there when she returned from her time, ready to yell at her for leaving for so long. It was such a routine thing for her by now, that not having Inuyasha there made Kagome feel like something was very wrong. . .
Kagome bit her lip and continued onto the village, hoping to rid herself of the worst-case scenarios that were running through her mind. The sky which was just bright and sunny became overcast with clouds while thunder rumbled in the distance. Kagome was getting a horrible sinking feeling.
~*~*~*~*~*~
He jumped into the air again, scanning the area. Sesshomaru had woken up to find that Rin was missing. Surprising himself and Jakken, Sesshomaru had immediately left his palace to find the girl.
Sesshomaru growled to himself. He was no fool. He had smelt Naraku's scent in Rin's room. The bastard hanyou must have taken her. He would pay for messing with what was his.
He frowned as he landed on the ground again before promptly kicking off again.
'Since when did I start to care so much for a human?'
But Rin wasn't just a normal human. There was just something. . . different about her. Sesshomaru sighed.
'I must be going soft.'
Sesshomaru vowed to never care for a human, to never follow in his father's footsteps. Without realizing it, he'd broken that vow. Now he was frantically searching for the human girl he had come to consider as his own daughter.
He continued to follow the trail her scent left behind to a small village. He became alarmed when he saw smoke and flames above the rooftops.
'I'm coming Rin. . .'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was heading towards that same village from the opposite direction.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"SHIT! Miroku, Sango, get out of there!"
Inuyasha still wasn't sure what happened. He had been waiting by the well for Kagome to come back when he smelt smoke. He had run as fast as he could back to the village only to find that most of the buildings had caught fire. Some villagers were still trapped in the houses while others were trying to squelch the flames without success.
Miroku and Sango quickly dodged the falling debris as another hut collapsed. Sango glared at the flames, as if it would scare them into disappearing.
"This is futile! The flames keep spreading!"
Miroku nodded. "I agree. For some reason this doesn't seem like a normal fire. I mean, how would every single hut in the village suddenly burst into flames all at once? No, I have a feeling that this fire was caused intentionally."
"Naraku," Inuyasha growled.
Sango looked puzzled. "But why would he do this? The villagers haven't done anything to him and the fire didn't even kill anyone yet. Unless. . ."
Miroku looked grim. "This is a just a distraction," he said, finishing Sango's thought.
Sango and Miroku turned to face Inuyasha, but he was already gone, running in the direction of the well.
'Hang on Kagome. . .'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome continued to follow the path to the village, shivering occasionally. It had started to rain and her clothes didn't exactly provide much cover. She pressed on, pushing sopping wet bangs away from her eyes.
'Who is that?' Kagome thought.
She squinted at the person standing a distance away from her on the footpath.
"Hello?" she called, stepping forward cautiously.
She approached the small figure, which turned out to be a young girl. The girl looked up.
Kagome gasped when she saw the girl's eyes. They were glazed over and seemed blank.
"Follow me," the girl said in monotone, gesturing to Kagome. The girl walked to the right of the pathway and started to walk into the forest. She turned to Kagome, watching expectedly.
Kagome bit her lip. She really should get to the village. . . but what if this girl was in trouble? Her mind made up, she sighed and followed the girl through the trees, the rain still drenching both of them.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where are you taking me?" Kagome asked, still following the girl.
No response.
Kagome bit back another sigh. Inuyasha and the others were probably really worried. . .
"Is it much farther?" Kagome asked.
No response.
Kagome was getting slightly annoyed at the girl, despite the fact that she loved children. She decided to try one more time.
"Do your parents know you're out here?"
The girl stopped.
She turned to Kagome, her eyes flickering from their blank gray to a warm chocolate, then back to gray.
"They're dead."
Kagome bowed her head in sorrow. Maybe the reason the girl was so cold to her was because she didn't have anyone to take care of her. . .
"What's your name?" Kagome asked.
"Rin," the girl answered before walking forward again.
They entered a clearing. Kagome frowned. There was nothing out here but a stump and some wildflowers. Rin ignored her quizzical look and continued walking further into the clearing. She gestured for Kagome to sit on the stump.
"Stay and wait for Him," Rin commanded in the same emotionless tone.
Kagome just stared at her curiously, still standing.
"Who is him?"
Rin simply answered, "My Master," before sitting beside the stump and staring ahead blankly.
Kagome had little time to question the sanity of the Rin before sensing a whole mass of Shikon Shards heading their way.
'How did I not sense them before?!' Kagome berated herself.
The shards came closer. She narrowed her eyes at the man that had just entered the clearing. He was the one with the shards. Covered with a baboon pelt, he stepped toward the two girls.
He smirked cruelly. "Good job, Rin," he said.
Rin nodded and walked to the man's side, standing obediently and he continued to study Kagome. She was completely soaked and undoubtedly exhausted, but still considered him with caution.
"So we finally meet, miko," said Naraku.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha sniffed around the well, trying desperately to pick up Kagome's scent.
'Damn rain,' he thought.
He was able to tell that she had gotten out of the well without running into anyone and had begun to follow the path to the village. Inuyasha frowned, realizing he'd have to rely on following her footprints instead of her scent. Her footprints were also quickly being washed away so he picked up his pace.
Inuyasha walked down the path for some time before someone jumped in front of him.
'What the hell is Sesshomaru doing here?!'
His path was blocked by is older brother who also appeared to be looking at the ground for footprints.
Inuyasha quickly pulled out Tessaiga.
"Get out of my way Sesshomaru, before I make you!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru could have moaned in agony upon seeing his brother.
'Not now damnit! Why does he always appear at the worst times?!'
"Out of my way, filth," Sesshomaru snarled. "I am doing something that does not concern you."
Sesshomaru sniffed, finally picking up Rin's woodsy scent again.
'This damn rain is slowing me down. . .wait a minute. . .'
Sesshomaru picked up another scent along with Rin's. Flowers. . .
'Must be that wench of Inuyasha's.'
He turned to face his brother again. "I assume you are looking for the miko?"
Inuyasha looked confused at his brother's knowledge of what he was doing before nodding.
"She went in this direction," Sesshomaru said, gesturing to the right of the path which led into the forest. "Come."
Sesshomaru sped off into the woods, Inuyasha following closely, thought reluctantly.
A/N: There's the first chapter! Hoped you liked it! To avoid any confusion, you should know that in this story:
No one in the Inu gang has met Rin
Kagome has not seen Naraku w/ just the baboon pelt so she doesn't know who he is yet
Um yea there is no number 3. . . I just like odd numbers ^_~
Thanks for reading! Review please!
