(Rin is 12 in this seen)

"Rin-chan! It's time for ye to eat" Lady Kade yelled from her modest shelter. Rin ears perked up as her stomach growled to the thought of granny Kade famous stew. Venison smothered in thick brown gravy, seasoned with herbs and spices and thickened with carrots, celery and whole tomatoes. Rin looked from the laundry that she was finishing hanging making sure that her silks and cottons was properly in view of her hut. She learned quickly that a human weren't too different from herself when it came to thieving. Although she never understood why they was steal such tedious things as Silk yukata', it was always easier to forge for game and fowl rather than steal material items. Dismissing the though she patted her chore yukata it being similar to her previous yukata cream and orange checkered patterned endowed with emerald bubbles. She looked to the sun set the colors of magenta, orange, yellow and red looked beautiful as she turned from the glow of the sun she paused a step she swore that she saw a small thing that resembled Jaken standing next to her shrugging off the thought she raced to the small shelter. "Ye have been more distracted more than normal today in your chores young lady, dose something trouble ye?" Kade asked as she served the stew with a serving of rice in a bamboo bowl. "Thank you for the food!" Rin exclaimed as she thought about it more "I feel as though I forgot something, something very important… Ah, well it must not be that important if I can't remember" biting into the stew she savored how the warm broth slid down her mouth, she savored how Kade's secret to textures of the stew blended together. "Tomorrow is the start hinamatsuri child are ye excited?" Kade stated, Rin tiled her head not understanding what her elder meant. "Hina- what?" Rin stated and she took another bite of her stew half paying attention to what the elder spoke of. "Hinamatsuri is a Doll festival, is a special day to pray for the growth and happiness of young girls. Ye should where something pink" Kade stated. "So why pink?" Rin asked curios she never had one, but seen may village girls with dolls. "Well, Hinamatsuri is also called "Momo no sekku" Peach Festival, so there sweets will be involved as well" Getting up from her knees she walked from the fire pit to her room. Tilting her head Rin looked to where Kade walked to "Kade-sama, do you think Sesshomaru-sama will be attending?" Kade walked back sighing and endowed with a small wooden box "Daemon's have no place at human evets such as this child, I'd be surprised that he'd show. But in any rate I want to give this to ye. It was a bargain at the market." She finished sitting close to the girl. Grinning happily Rin finished the remains of her stew and wiped her hands on her yukata. Taking the box from the old frail hands of her mentor she opened it. It was held a powered white doll with bright blue eyes and blond locks that reached her feet she was endowed in a scarlet reds, oranges and yellow itsutsu-ginu kuchiki Rin got an eerie feeling that made her stomach turn slightly but dismissed it. "Kade-sama its beautiful, I will name her YuYa- chan!" Rin embrased the Old priestess with delight and doll in hand "Thank you so much, I don't deserve such lovely presents" Rin mumbled with in the folds of the priestess chihaya. "It is nothing young one. Now off to bed with ye" she finished. Rin nodded and giggled her way to her small room. Rin circled in her room with YuYa in hand, She loved her village that Sesshomaru left her in, though she was sad that should could no longer explore the world with her Lord. Plopping on her mat she thought about the excitements of tomorrow to bring and with a final yawn she was asleep.

'Dream'

'Rin… Rin…' the deep velvet voice echoed through the young petite brown haired girl. Everything was black as if her eyes were sown down shut. 'Open, please open' she pleaded with herself. 'Rin… Rin… Rin…' a smoother lavender voice echoed. 'Mother? I must see if it's you!' she cried forcing the lids open, knowingly that she would regret what she saw. For this is what always woke her from this dream… 'No!' she thought with a stern force. 'I will remember what happened!' Ripping the invisible force that kept her brown orbs shut. Gasping from the seen around her, blood splattered from under her small feet. She finally saw the faces of loved one she thought faded from her memories since her first death. Red eyes watched into her brown ones, as blood caked to his face that blended with red locks that fell to the floor. Rin knew he didn't have time, "Rin, my daughter, you will live… live with me within you…" he chuckled as ambers of the house fell around him. "When you remember this you will awaken to fulfill my dying birthright of this forsaken world" The man who knelt before her, looked into her eyes "you may not be ready… but life is cruel and you are to innocent like your mother…" his voice choked as though rendering his grin only faltering "now, love, repeat these words." Rin, unable to understand what has been unfolded, nor could she remember what brought this seemingly resilient man to fall. Before she could anticipate what was happening she snapped back to attention when he placed his index and middle finger in-between her brows. As his mouth moved her mouth mirrored the words "Mumyo Jinpuu Ryu - the sound of awakening" with one last wavering smile "you heard the sound of it too… didn't you Rin?" As those words echoed he fell to her lap… Rin felt herself burning, she looked around to find that she hasn't woke, but the burning emitted from her and not from the touch of the flames. Grasping her stomach she felt herself to crumble over the corps of her father… "What? What is happening to me?" The familiar smell of sulfur flooded her nostrils 'What?' The once burning hut was now ash no flames but it was replaced by smoke of ashes that floated around her like Sakura petals. There was no land though it was all ash the only thing left was the bloodied body of her father. "Rin… Rin..." the lavender voice echoed "mother" struggling she turned. To find the essence of a blue eyed beauty. Her blond hair pulled into a half ponytail that cascaded waves of blond locks to her feet she wore scarlet itsutsu-ginu kuchiki that fanned around her bare feet, her hands bore Crystal that glowed lavender and silver blue the burning calmed in sight of it. "My dear love… forgive us for bearing this burden on you." She walked to her as she said these words "burden?" She echoed. Her mother knelt beside her and the lifeless body of her father. "Yes, dear love, your fate has been sealed long before your father and I could remember" as she said this she placed her hand on crown of her father head. As her mother rubbed her slender fingers threw his read locks, he began to evaporate into red balls of energy "you've been damned… you are neither of this world or the next." As her father faded in replacement of his body she found a bow that glowed red. Detailed in white ivy and red rubies. Strung by a silver braid "your mission will reveal itself and you will be tested… and you will be hunted for this." Receiving this message she found her body starting to pulse. "Rin, awake and finish what your father and I wish. Prosper and love do not lose your will and heart." Looking into her blue eyes that seemed to glow with tears. "Yes…" was all that Rin said. Smiling her mother kissed her brow. "Awaken… love"
