Rin Ages

Chapter 1 -- Guessing

……

Rin slipped off her clothes and stepped into the hot spring Sesshomaru had found. 'Wow. This feels really good,' Rin thought as she scrubbed off the dirt and dried blood from earlier today. Sesshomaru had encountered a bear demon today and Rin had been hit right before Sesshomaru had destroyed it. With more injuries then the others, she had been granted a bath first. As Rin scrubbed her back, she noticed her longer arms. 'What's going on?' Rin thought staring at her reflection. She looked older about twenty or so. 'What the…' She closed her eyes, reopened them and stared again. Nothing changed. All Rin could think of doing was screaming and that's exactly what she did – well right before passing out.

……

"Rin? Are you Rin?" An irritated voice said as Rin opened her eyes. She guessed it was Jaken. She saw Sesshomaru's face nodding and smiled before nodding to Jaken. Jaken got up slowly and walked over to a tree to sit down

She lifted her up and said, "What happened to me?"

"We aren't sure."

"Oh. I wonder what…"

"Shh, Rin, you are still a little hurt from hitting your head on the rock," Sesshomaru placed a finger to her lips. Rin, a little shocked at Sesshomaru's sudden show of affection, quieted. He continued, "We need to get you new clothes." Rin simply nodded as he pointed to the shirt that she had been dressed in. Rin guessed it was his. She blushed and laid back down. He pulled out some gold and put it in her hand, "I'll come with you but I think it best if I stayed outside. I wouldn't want any rumors to start," He smiled and Rin could have sworn she saw a blush. Did he fancy her now that she was older? She tried to think about it but drifted into a deep sleep.
