Chapter 1

ten years ago

"Ha HA!, mommy, mommy look I've found a flower!", a 7 year old girl said as she held her flower up so her mother can see.

"That is a wonderful flower Rin. Where did you get such a beautiful flower?", the mother said in amazement.

Just then a loud scream was heard throughout the village. Rin's mother feared the most.

Rin's mother took her by the hand and leaded out towards the chicken coop.

"I want you to stay here until I come to get you. Promise me you would not move from this hiding spot?", the girls mother said as she placed her young daughter in a stack of hay and covered with hay until she was well hidden. "Do not make one sound!", the mother demanded her daughter as she left to find the other villagers.

All of a sudden, Rin heard screaming and crying coming from the village. She began crying for she was scared and did not know what was happening. When the screaming and crying stopped, Rin was about to see what had happened to the village, but she saw two dark figures standing at the door.

"There's a live one in here milord", the smaller of the two figures said.

"Yes I know that" the taller figure said in his cold voice. He raised his sword towards the haystack.

"Don't you dare". The taller figure turned and to his surprise he had a survivor.

" I see you survived my attack.", he said without a single feeling in his words.

"Mommy", Rin cried to herself.

The smaller figure heard the cry for it's mother. Before Rin could say another word she saw the figure strike her mother with his shiny blood covered sword.

"Let's go Jaken", the taller figure said as he took one final look at the hay stack.

"But my Lord, what about the…" Before the smaller figure could say anymore he was interrupted by the cold voice of the taller figure.

"I don't care, if you want to kill it then be my guest.", the taller figure said in an even more cold voice which made Rin more afraid.

She got up from the haystack and saw her mothers cold and lifeless body on the ground. "Mother", she cried out loud. The taller figure walked out of the coop before Rin could see his face.

Present day

Rin was kneeling before a river as she was catching dinner and washing her clothes. A shadowy figure walked by and she stood. She could hear the wind blowing and the voice of two people.

Rin had grown up to be an assassin, she killed demons who she believed could have killed her village, for this reason she hated demons and wanted to vanquish them from the face of the earth.

Quickly she got dressed in what dry clothes she had. She quickly left camp in hopes of returning. She drew her sword at the passer Byers to her surprise they were demons and not just any demons. They were Sesshomaru and Jaken.

"stop where you are demons", she held her sword towards Sesshomaru.

"you're not worth my time, you petty human.", Sesshomaru said in his cold voice.

Rin lowered her sword for his voice sounded familiar.

"Where have I heard your voice before?", she asked Sesshomaru.

"I don't think we have met before if we did, you probably would be dead." Sesshomaru said looking past her.

"Come along Jaken". he said as he walked past her.

"Jaken, I've heard that name before.", she thought to herself.

She wanted to find out more about this mysterious demon and his companion for she feared they were the ones who killed her village.

She quickly ran back to camp. As she lay there under the stars she dreamt of that horrid day.

"his voice, that name, it sounds so familiar", she thought to herself when she had awoken from her nightmare. "I must find out if it is him. The one I must destroy to avenge their deaths.", she said as she sat up.

As she sat there, under the stares. The picture of the faceless figure from her past appeared in her head.

"what shall I do if it is him, I don't know how to kill a demon that destroyed an entire village. Is it even possible for a girl like me to destroy a powerful demon.", she had second thoughts about wanting to kill the demon who killed her village.

As she lay there dreaming, she dreams of her mother and how she trained for the day she would kill the demon. When she awoke it was day.

As she was getting ready to hit the roads again a sinister plot came to mind. "what is almost everyone's weakness…. LOVE . what if he was to fall in love with me, then he wouldn't want to hurt me. But how can I be sure this is to happen." she thought to herself with a devilish smirk making its way to the corners of her mouth. "first I am to be sure he was the one who killed everyone in my village. Then I'll make him fall in love with me."
