Chapter 1- A small encounter

In the outskirts of a small village, sat a young maiden who was calmly meditating as the sun began to rise over the horizon. Her mystifying beauty was too extraordinary. She had long ebony hair that flowed down to her waist. Beautiful lavender eyes that were coated with long thick lashes. A flawless face that is perfect. As she looked towards the sky, she allowed the earth to awaken her soul. With her eyes closed she allowed the brilliant sun to shine on her beautiful facial features. She eagerly, yet slowly sniffed the air around her, picking up the scents of wild flowers and sea water. As she slowly rose to her feet, she realized her heart was slightly empty. From all her suffering, she felt a little lost and conflicted inside. She didn't know who or what she was. She wasn't human and she didn't feel like a demon. All she knew was that her real parents abandoned her. Sent her away to live with a human couple. Although she was grateful of them, ever since they died with the entire village, she began to question her existence. As she trailed deep into the forest, a loud cry caught her attention…

"Help! Lord Sesshomauru-sama!", wailed a young female child.

The young maiden quickly yet elegantly made her way through the forest towards the cries of the young child. When she reached the child she notice the little child hiding her face behind her small hands. The young maiden realized the child was but eight years old. As she took a hand to comfort the child…

"Please don't hurt me. Please", pleaded the young child.

The young maiden took the young girl into her hands and said, "I don't wish to hurt you child. Honest."

"A rat…a rat demon tried to… to… attack me. I was scared." stammered the young girl.

"It's all right. I guess the demon is gone. Are you okay?"

"Yes, Arigato, Lady….."

"Please call me Anna."

"I like your name Anna. And your very beautiful as well. My Lord Sesshomauru would surely be amazed by your beauty." the young child said as her eyes glinted brightly.

"Thank you, and your very pretty yourself…ah…" hoping the child would give her name.

"Rin…my name is Rin."

"Rin…a pleasant name. Now Rin, who are y…"

"Ahh! The demons!"

Anna turned around to see a rat demon run towards them. She unsheathed her sword and with one strike, she killed the demon.

With amazement in her eyes and voice, "Lady…I mean Anna, that was amazing. Your as poised as Lord Sess…"

"Um…Rin, you must know that I don't find pleasure in killing."

With a shocked expression, "But it appears as if you've been kill…"

"No, I'm just very talented in swordsmanship. My human father was very skilled…"

"Your human father?", she asked confused.

"I'm not…"

"Your not human?"

"No, I'm not hum…"

"But you look it. So are you a demon?"

"I'm not really…uh, Rin where are your parents?" she asked, desperately trying to change the conversation.

"My parents died a year ago. That's when Lord Sesshomauru saved my life. A pack of wolf demons killed everyone in the village, including myself. But Lord Sesshomauru was able to revive me from…"

"He revived you from the dead?"

"Yes, with his sword, the tenseiga.", she says smiling.

"The tenseiga…Well Rin, let's go find your Lord."

"Okay… Anna, I'm glad I met you.", she looks up with cheerful eyes.

"Likewise Rin. But it's strange how a small encounter can change one's life." she reaches for Rin's hand. Rin eagerly holds tight and they start on their small journey to finding Lord Sesshomauru.
