This is my first story so don't shoot me if it's bad:)

RIN POV

Cold, sharp air rushed passed Rin as she straight into a a large grey tree, pain surged through her body as she landed onto the cold, damp grass.

"Rin, are you alright?" Sango ran over to Rin's side,

"I think I over did it on that last kick, I'm sorry. It's just I get a bit pissed off when someone punches me in the face," Sango chuckled nervously as she wiped the blood from her split lip where Rin had hit her.

Rin struggled to her feet and wiped the blood from her own face then crouched down into an attack position.

"Again," she panted, this training business was hard work especially with Sango as her teacher but if she wanted to be able to protect herself from demons, who better to ask than a demon slayer right?

Sango put her hands on her hips then sighed,

"Come on Rin that's enough for today, you're completely tired out."

"But we haven't been training that long," moaned Rin, keeping her position.

"I think you'll find that we've actually been training for five hours, come on lets go get something to eat."

"I'm not hungry," snapped Rin standing up straight and folding her arms across her chest but then to disagree with her, her stomach rumbled loudly.

"Traitor," she mumbled but Sango just laughed and headed off back to the village. With a sigh Rin followed her, they'd been training for three months now and Rin couldn't even beat Sango who was three weeks pregnant let alone a demon.

When they got to Inuyasha and Kagome's house Miroku ran out and spun Sango around then kissed her passionately before setting her on her feet. Seeing this sent a stabbing feeling to her chest but she had no idea why.

"So Rin how did the training go?" called Kagome who was stumbling slowly towards her with Inuyasha holding her steadily with one hand holding hers and the other on her enormous stomach.

"She's amazing; I've never seen anyone learn so fast, it took me at least a year to get where she's at right now," said Sango who was in Miroku's arms.

I bet she's just saying that because I'm here thought Rin.

"See Rin I told you that you could do it," said Kagome smiling at me,

"Yeh! Now you can kick all of those demons butts that get in your way!" said Inuyasha, which made everyone laugh.

"Not the brightest bulb in the pack, are you dear," giggled Kagome, kissing her husband softly on the lips.

A strange sick feeling came over Rin and an image of lord Sesshomaru flashed through her mind, she hadn't seen her lord for almost a year, why did this remind her of him? She shook the image out of her head then looked back to Kagome who was looking at her worryingly.

"Hey Rin are you okay?"

"Ye I'm fine I'm just tired, I think I'll go back to the village," croaked Rin, trying to keep back the tears that where building up in her hazel brown eyes

"Don't you want anything to eat?" asked Miroku who was also looking worried along with Sango. Inuyasha just turned to Shippo asking, "What's a bulb?" where Shippo nudged him in the ribs.

"Stupid Inuyasha," he mumbled

"No thanks I'm just going to lie down for a while, I'm sorry."

And with that Rin ran as fast as she could through the forest until she finally came to the edge of the village. It was so quiet, she sat down be a nearby tree. She always felt so lonely here, ever since lord Sesshomaru left her here nine years ago and even when he did visit it was only for a few days so she hardly saw him at all. After all the adventures they'd had together he just left her here as if she were just a toy he had grown tired of.

"Lord Sesshomaru, why did you leave me here? Please come back, I need you," whispered Rin, she couldn't hold it in any longer and just let the tears stream down her pale face and onto her dusty, navy blue kimono.
