Chapter One

Rin

There was silence at the waterfall as Kojima looked down at the water. Where the hell was she? Somehow, she had come to a different land during the storm. Now, she had no idea where she was at. How would she get home? To her time and clan.

Growling, she sat down on the rock next to her and looked down at herself. She wore a black chocker, two single flame tatoos on her wrists, black wrapps around her chest that reached her belly button, shorts that were torn at the hems, a bow in her hand arrows on her back, and she wore boots up to her knees, not leather though.

When she heard the sound of a twig snape, her silver eyes quickly moved towards the sound next to her right arm. While her pointed ears picked up the sound of heavy breathing, her nose found the smell of a human child, a girl. Smiling weakly, she set down her bow and looked towards the child.

"Hello, can I help you?" she asked sweetly. Her long black hair flowing into her face.

"Umm..." slowly the child appeard.

She had raggy black hair, soft brown eyes, and orange and white checker dress. She was adorable. And, she was dragging something behind her. When Kojima noticed it was a toad demon, she picked up her bow and amend a bow at its heart.

"NO! He's my friend." the child cried.

Setting down the bow, Kojima nodded.

"Of course he is. Now, what can I help you with?"

The child seemed to be lost for a moment, then she smiled with a missing tooth. That face was enough to make Kojima's heart sink and have her bent on her knees in front of the child.

"My name's Rin. I'm looking for Lord Sesshomaru."

"My name is Kojima. And I would be happy to help you find your Lord."

They smiled at one another again and Rin allowed Kojima to pick her up and place her toad friend over her shoulder. Kojima walked for a while until they reached a village. It was rather small, but it would be fine.

"Would you mind if I found you somewhere to eat at the moment?" she asked Rin.

When Rin smiled at the idea, Kojima nodded. Silently, she walked through the village at sunset. Soon, the sky would be dark and they needed a place to rest. When they came across an elderly woman with a bangage over her eye, Kojima smiled.

"Excuse me, can you help us? We're travelers looking for a place to eat and rest."

The woman looked over Kojima and her clothing, then at Rin, then at the toad on her shoulder. When the woman nodded, Kojima followed her inside a hut. While the woman fixed them some stew over a fire, Kojima fixed a place for them all to sleep.

"So, may I ask ye what ye are doing in my village?"

"We're just traveling through old woman. I'm helping the child, Rin, find her Lord."

"Eh, I see. Well, eat up and sleep well. I must go see to Inuyasha."

When the woman left, Rin and Kojima finished their food and went to sleep. Only knowing that tomorrow would come soon.
