P.S. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any characters of Inuyasha, I do not own the original plotline I work alongside with, and I just own my side story plotline. :D

PROLOGUE: RIN'S BEGINNING:

There she was…Rin…the little cherubic baby called Rin. She had hair as black as midnight, eyes the color of auburn flames, skin as white as snow, and a soul as pure as gold. She was the cutest, chubbiest little baby there was. Innocent, cherubic, and yet Rin should have been as vicious as what she truly was. A full-fledged demon hid in plain sight, and in the lion's den no less. Well, it might as well have been a lion's den.

The village Rin was hidden in was one mostly of humans, priests, monks, witches, and demon slayers. All people who would sooner kill her, then look at her. Only if they knew what she was.

Her parents suppressed her true demon nature in two demon marks upon her. One represented her father as a dragon and the other one for her mother as an Inu-youkai.

From her ankle curled a dragon tail that wrapped along her right leg and turned into the rest of the dragon. It was fierce some looking and ran along the right side of her spine where its head rested on her right shoulder blade and its eyes were the color of her fathers. The dragon gazed at what looked like an angel with awe-inspiring love and protectiveness.

It was a woman and she had pointed ears and silver long flowing hair and a fluffy white tail that curled alongside the dragons around Rin's right leg. She was dressed in a black and red kimono with flames the shapes of cherry blossoms. You could tell that in the woman's auburn eyes, the same as Rin's, held such an everlasting love towards the dragon in front of her.

They were placed in a way on Rin's back that much resembled the yin and yang with a cherry blossom tree between the two that signaled a forever love.

Finally, some cherry blossoms were scattered around the two as if carried by an un-seeable wind making the mark on Rin's back ethereal looking. It was like you took a picture of a memory. It was so real and magical a scene to behold.

Born from two demons whose clans were at war against other kingdoms as well as being at war against the humans. Her father a dragon demon, and her mother a dog demon, otherwise known as Ryuu-youkai and Inu-youkai.

Their story was one of true love that was doomed from the very beginning. It all due to the War raging on in their lands, leading to Rin's parents making that heart-wrenching choice with the mind to save their only child.

Ayumu and Akatsuki placed a curse upon their daughter to seal away her demon and make her human with the help of a Miko and her priest husband. Even though they were human, they were of the good kind. They saw that not all demons were bad, and they said they knew of a way to save their daughter. But there would be no way to know for sure if it would work or if it was reversible. Ayumu and Akatsuki agreed no less, they were desperate for their daughter's safety. Leaving her as a human in the care of the priest and priestess was the hardest thing they could do, but to ensure her safety was the reason they kept walking away.

Rin grew up with no knowledge of her real parents, and her mark was sealed deep in her skin never to be seen by anyone to ensure her safety from that knowledge.

If only her parents knew of what hell they led her straight into, they probably would have never left her there. Or maybe they would have...seeing as it led her to a certain fierce some Inu-youkai.
