Rin's Revival
This takes place years after Rin was left in the care of village in the western lands.
Jaken walked leading ahead of his Lord leading Ah-Un through a clearing in the woods. The clearing was filled with beautiful wild flowers. Sesshomaru paused before the clearing, his eyes seemed to follow a ghost. Jaken continued walking chattering away as always.
'It's been such a long time since we left Rin in the care of humans. Was it the right thing to do leaving her there?'
Jaken stopped after Ah-Un refused to move. Ah-Un looked back at their master and let out a soft growl. Jaken sighed and looked at the field. " I too miss Rin Ah-Un but that is where we are going to check up on her remember." Jaken looked back and saw his Lord starting to walk towards them. He remembered the day they had left Rin not far from this clearing.
-Rin sat picking flowers in the huge clearing sun beaming down on her smiling face. She had a beautiful smile that warmed even the heart of her Lord Sesshomaru. Jaken and Sesshomaru caught up with the girl. She went running with a beautiful bouquet of flowers triumphantly towards Sesshomaru. "For you Lord Sesshomaru" she held up the bouquet to the demon who showed no emotion as always. She looked up at him for some sign of approval. He took the flowers and looked at her for a moment his eyes filled with remorse. He then knelt down to be closer to the girl It was time to tell her where they were going.
"Rin do you know where we're going?" He asked putting his hand on her shoulder.
"No my lord. Where are we going? " She said with out hesitation.
" Jaken and I are going somewhere you may not" Rin's eyes began to tear.-
Sesshomaru closed his eyes he didn't wish to remember more after that. 'she was fearless and never hesitated with me, Most humans feared demons and would cower in front of me. Rin always asked questions. I wonder if she still does' He opened his eyes again no longer following a memory.
Sesshomaru passed Jaken and Ah-Un started to move forward again. They would be to the village before night fall.

Rin walked around the town buying food for her adoptive family. She had been in service to them for them since she was only eight. Ten years had passed since then and how she longed to be free of them. She didn't like being in one village all the time she felt caged and trapped. She missed Jaken and Lord Sesshomaru and Ah-Un. She often wondered where they were and once or twice she even felt as if they were with her. She walked almost aimlessly through the street. She had a heavy looking basket filled with food already.
" Where could they have gone?" Rin looked around for her sister she was the daughter of the house she lived in her name was Ine. She would go out to accompany Rin for the past few weeks. Instead of shopping with Rin the girl only sixteen years old would go off with a boy she had fallen in love with. Rin didn't mind. She envied the child who would be married before her, and who was truly happy.
Rin's family did not approve of the boy so these secret meetings meant a great deal to the girl and Rin had promised not to tell. However impossible to go back to their home with out her for that would surely give away the secret. Rin turned around to see Ine running towards her stopping a foot away bent over trying to catch her breath.
"I'm sorry I took so long this time. I didn't mean to be gone for so long but it was so beautiful out today. We decided to go for a walk in the forest so that no one could see us." The two girls started to walk back to their home. Ine had Long hair that was always tied up in a bun and had soft light brown eyes. Her hair was now a bit disheveled and her Kimono had some dirt on it. "we thought that we heard voices and so we went to see what it was..." Ine started to take down her hair to fix it before she got to the house.
"AND?!" Rin asked curiously as Ine had stopped speaking to fix her hair. It always drove Rin crazy how Ine could stop mid story and go onto something else. The girls attention span was impossible to deal with at times.
"Oh so we went to see what it was," Ine finished fixing her hair and started to brush dirt off of her as they walked. " and we saw this small demon who was very flustered. He seemed lost and like he was looking for someone. I think he saw us because he stopped and was about to yell but Hesabe pulled me away and we ran back to the village. As soon as we got back we decided to part and to go home. Hesabe said that even small demons are very powerful and sometimes work with more powerful ones. He might have saved my life!"
Rin thought of Jaken immediately and smiled. 'could it have been them? what would they be doing here? No it couldn't have been they have no reason to come back and if they did it wouldn't be for me.'
"you missed a spot on your sleeve Ine." Rin brushed some dirt off her shoulder. " we'll have to tell them something for why were so late it will be dark soon and we left early this afternoon. You and Hesabe chasing demons doesn't seem to be something to tell your parents. " Rin smiled at the girl.
"I know. Well last week I fell and really hurt my leg and the week before that..."
" I don't like lying to them why can't you just have Hesabe with you and tell them that you love each other Ine. I'm sure if you told them you return the feelings he has for you they'd be more accepting of him."
"I got it we saw both fell asleep when it got very hot. Both of us were tired from carrying things! That would explain the dirt on my clothes too! "
Rin sighed "I don' think the truth would be such a bad thing Ine. And you never carry anything they wouldn't believe that." Both girls laughed but Rin's smile quickly turned to into a frown she didn't like being a servant to this family. She loved Ine and had taken care of her since she was only six but Ine was the only one she was close to.

Jaken reached the edge of the village with Sesshomaru. Jaken had been seen already by a girl and young boy. Sesshomaru stopped before going into the village. It was night. To check on Rin he'd have to wait till morning or go into her house.
"My lord would you like to set up camp for the night?" Jaken asked eagerly. He was tired and it was getting later by the minute. He also wished to help his master any way he possibly could.
"Yes Jaken. I will return shortly I have something to take care of." Before Jaken could speak again Sesshomaru had disappeared in a ball of light.

Rin eating dinner in the kitchen with the cook. The cook was never liked Rin and refused to speak to her, The cook was old and was in the house the night that Rin was brought to the village. She remembered the powerful demon who left this girl behind with them and so she was suspicious of Rin. Rin was day dreaming as always
Unknown to Rin Sesshomaru was outside the house with the Master of the house.
"Where is the girl I entrusted to you?" Sesshomaru asked coldly for the second time.
"Ssh she's sleeping now. Lord Sesshomaru." He replied terrified of the demon. He had no idea he would ever return to look for the girl. What would a demon want with a human child? "We've looked after her as if she were our own as we promised"
" I'm glad to hear that, Because I hope you've kept your word for your sake. I'll be back in the morning to check on her. " With that Sesshomaru walked away slowly. He could smell Rin only it seemed different now.
