A/N: I am new to writing stories so I am open to all kinds of constructive criticism. I will also try my hardest to update as much as I can. I hope you enjoy it! And of I don't own Inuyasha and might have altered some things a little.
The sky was blue and the sun was out. A women who was gathering up some herbs wipes her brow and smiles as the sunlight hits her face. The weather is perfect, she thought with a smiled. She then spots a white flower. The most beautiful flower of all as well a favorite. An orchid; which represented strength, purity, innocents and love. Her smile brighten as she admired the beauty of the flower. Not many people in her village like her, in fact most despised her. Why the reason was unknown. Some say it was because many envy her beauty and some took her innocents as arrogance. But the truth was, she was often most humble. The women had great beauty with long raven black hair and grayish blue eyes. Average height and dressed simple of her time. She didn't prefer to walk barefooted a lot to feel the earth on her feet. She was the gentlest creature of them all.
She smelled the beautiful scent of the flower as the wind breezed through her hair. Then all of a sudden she looked around and felt that someone was there. She looked to see a little girl behind a tree. The small girl look scared and nervous. I wonder if she is lost, she thought to herself. She wanted to see who the young girl was so she went towards her however the girl ran off.
"Waite don't be scared I mean no harm!" The women said trying to reach out to her.
Then she seen the girl go by a strange two head creature. It must be a daemon but the girl seemed human enough. They left flying in the sky. And she notice she drop what looked like herbs or something to eat. Could she be an orphan? She thought again to herself. Now she was curious who the girl was.
She return the village and as usual received strange looks not knowing why. But she could help but pity the people more than hate them. She enter her small hunt where only herself lived in and started to make herself something to eat but, couldn't help but wonder who was the young girl and why she was riding a daemon. She decide to go back to the spot where she found the girl in hopes to bump into her again and give her some food she made. She figured she might be hungry.
(The young girl's point of view)
The young girl looked back to see if the women followed her but, right after she went on to A-Uh she didn't see her any more. That woman was so pretty and seemed so gentle. The girl was surprise when she took her of interested. She didn't know what to do but run because all her life she felt humans where out to get her and take her away from Lord Sesshomaru. With the exception of Kagome and her friends she didn't trust most people. For some reason this women seemed different.
"Rin, there you are! I was looking for you don't you know what will happen to me if Lord Sesshomaru finds out I had lost you?! My chances of prime minister would be lost...more like my life..."said a worked up Jaken.
"Sorry Master Jaken. I was just out to get some food and lost track of time." Rin said with a sincere apology. As Jaken kept ranting how she was a foolish stupid human girl, she couldn't help but keep thinking of the women.
(The women's point of view)
The next day the women woke up in the morning and deiced to start her day. Since it was before dawn she deiced to go by a nearby spring where she can bath in. When she takes off her clothes her wounds on her back are visible. From whips and stones that had been thrown at her from as long she remembers. Always been treated differently. She didn't have her mother nor father and was considered to be a bastard child. Her mother had her out of wedlock and because of this she was marked. When thieves came after her, her father tried to protect his daughter and his wife. Sadly she was the only one able to escape unharmed. People weren't very kind to the orphan girl growing up. So she was off always on her own using her imagination and making stories like about a poor young girl getting her feet swept by a handsome man in shining armor. She often blushed at the thought but, it was those thoughts that helped her through her lonely years. She was able to remember everything as if it was yesterday even if it was so many moons ago.
The women sighed as she got out of the water to change. She learn a very long time ago to keep everything close to her otherwise they would be stolen by someone. She went along with her duties. By lunch time she deiced to make something for the little girl in hopes she would see her again. She hoped she was not alone like she was. It wasn't fun to be alone as she already knew. She wrapped up the food and tied it. Gathered her basket and went to collect some more herbs.
When she arrived she seen the girl already there. She decide to come up to her slowly so not to scare her away.
"Excuse me young girl" The women said and the young girl look up startled.
"Please don't run away I promise not to hurt you. " The women said gently as she moved a little closer to the little girl. And for reason the young girl decided not to run away.
"Here. I made this for you this for you. It's fish I caught the other day and cooked. Hope you like it!" The women smiled as she handed to the girl some food.
The girl was quiet but then said thank you with a smile to her surprise.
"You are welcome." The women smile back. "Want to sit by the tree under their? " She said as she pointed to a nearby tree. "It has a shade where you can eat."
"Umm okay." Said a shy little girl.
She was delight the little girl said yes and they went to sit. "My name is Ran. My mother named after her favorite flower an orchid. Which is funny because it mine to." Ran giggled. "And you?"
"My name is Rin."
"We'll nice to meet you Rin." Ran said with the warmest smile Rin had seen anyone given to her.
"Nice to meet you to!" Rin said with a giggled.
"So Rin, I don't ever see you in the village. Are you from around these parts?"
"No I don't live in a village nor will I never choose to live in one."
Huh so much despise for a young girl her age, Ran thought. "And how come is this?"
"Because people/bandits kills my parents and people are often cruel." Rin said with anger and sadness.
Ran felt sympathy for the girl. "But surely Rin not all people can be that bad."
"I am happy with Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed with such quick of mood.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" asked a puzzled Ran.
"Uhhhh. He the most strongest and powerful daemon." She notice her smile grew big. "He is also very kind."
Whoever this Lord Sesshomaru was surly mad the young girl happy for some reason that made Ran very curious.
"We'll thank you for the food!" Rin bowed. "It was nice to meet you."
"You to Rin but how are getting back?"
"By A-Uh." Then A-Uh appeared. The two head daemon.
"Will I see you again Rin?" Ran asked.
"Huh?" Rin was shocked by the question. She wants to see her again but doesn't know when Lord Sesshomaru will come back to take her. But she figure that he isn't back yet so there is a good chance she can see again tomorrow. "Yeah sure!" She smiled and the women smiled genuinely excited to see her again.
"Wonder lets me here at the same spot and same hour. I will bring more food since for us to eat." Ran said with huge grin.
"Okay see you soon Ran!"
Ran seen the young girl leave on the two headed dragon and was much looking forward to seeing the young girl again. Maybe she will even find out more about this Lord Sesshomaru the great powerful daemon with a kind hear. Will he must be if Rin speaks so highly of him.
