LITTLE PRINCESS LOST
Name: Lost Among the Dreams
~Mileena's Point Of View~
Everything was perfect; at least that's what we thought. We partied and celebrated my dearest daughter Rin's eighth birthday. But we all knew what was coming upon the land. In the valley a curse threaten my royal family, and my guests who associated with us. Only one would put such a dreadful curse on the Royal Crest if the Northern Lands Family. Kagura. She was supposed to be a holy woman, but her heart resided with the darkness that clouded her heart. She was a wind sorceress; we called her the demon of wind. Things started to go bad after the war with her father Naraku. My family and the western lands family battled Naraku for three years before we were finally able to defeat him.
Once Naraku's heart finally stopped beating and his body became nothing but an empty corpse her anger was waged. The day her father died was the same day we killed her sister, Kanna. After losing the only family she had she became furious and out-raged. Then begun hating my family for all eternality. She waged war and begun plotting out a way to kill my family and myself off. Unfortunately she wasn't successful. Me and my dearest daughter Rin escaped the palace during the seize. We survive the great battle with Kagura and the curse she put on our family. But we will never be complete again. For I had lost my mate Crestfallen and my dear Rin lost her father.
Although I and my dear Rin survived the terrible things Kagura threw at us, unfortunately the night faded on that horrible day and my darling daughter Rin was lost within the wind. I never saw her again since that night.
~End of Mileena's Point of View~
1408 Night of the Terror
The night was magical, and was filled with joy. Lords, ladies, noblemen, families and commoners attended the night of their darling Princess Rin's eighth birthday. Royalty from all over attended the Grand Party to celebrate her birthday, and to celebrate the day she finally was receiving her first tiara as a princess.
Lady Mileena watched her grow so fast. It was as if the years just flew by so fast, while her father mate went out patrolling and protecting both his family and his land. She remembered when she first held her daughter in her arms after she gave birth to her. She didn't cry, she was silent and just so peaceful.
She watched her daughter dance away with her father making silly faces. Watching her she grabbed the velvet box next to her in her hand and held it close to her. Sesshomaru, the son of Inu Taisho, the western lord looked at her as he stood beside Lady Mileena holding a velvet box similar to the one Mileena was holding. Sesshomaru had token care of Rin since she was just a baby. He was at least ten years older then her, but he believed it was his duty to take care of her. After all she was the princess. But she meant more to him then just being a princess. And tonight he was going to make a promise to her.
Looking out into the crowd Rin danced around, letting her long black hair sway side to side as she moved around her father. She had the most beautiful hazel brown eyes her mother had ever seen. She wore an elegant dress that hit the floor, and followed behind her while she walked. Her father had placed her tiara on her head which made her look more royal.
Sesshomaru watched her be silly on the ballroom floor, he looked at the smile that laid on her face the tightened his grip on the velvet box in his hand. He had trained her when she was able to walk. Her father wanted her to learn how to fight and know how to handle a sword in case something dangerous happened. Sesshomaru was tough on her, but that made her fiercer. But even with the tough and hard core training she somehow still managed to be the sweetest and kindest girl he had ever knew. He cared for her more then anyone he knew, he believed that her parents loved her dearly, but he grew to care and love for her more then what her parents had gave her.
Looking up toward the world around her, Rin saw her family and friends in the mist of the sound and noise. She looked over to her mother and Sesshomaru and smiled. Her mother called her over to them for a minute.
"Rin. Darling come here." Her mother called her. With a smiled stuck on her face, she rushed through the crowd, excusing herself from the guests and pushing her way toward the three thrones at the top of the staircase. She ran over to her mother and jumped on her lap. Sesshomaru walked away, for he knew that Rin's mother needed to talk to her in private.
"MOTHER!" She giggled as she held onto her arm.
"Darling, I know your father and I just came back, but we must leave tomorrow night to the West to discuss important matters with Lord Inu Taisho. You, my dear, are not able to come with us. We must leave you here to continue your training and learning the piano." Her mother pronounced. Rin's face became gloomy. She was sad. Her mother and father had just left to the West to talk to the lord and now they must leave again.
"But mother. Who will sing me my lullaby?"
Darling we will be back in a week or two. But I have a special gift for you to remember me by when we leave." Her mother took out the velvet box she handed it to Rin and smiled.
"What is it, Mother?" Rin asked as she opened the box. Her eyes glistened as she saw two beautiful necklaces with two different pendants. One had a diamond heart pendant while the other one had a diamond star pendant. Her mother grabbed the one with the heart and put t around Rin's neck and grabbed the other one and put it around her own neck.
"This will keep you from crying at night. Your necklace unlocks the secret in mine. When you put your necklace together with mine you will hear our secret song." Mileena said as she took Rin's necklace and turned it over, there was an inscription on the back, "The inscription says, 'Together Again, In the West. For one day I will take you there."
Rin grabbed her heart pendant and her mother star pendant and put them both together. There she heard the song. She smiled as she started dancing to the song.
"On the wind, cross the sea, hear this song and remember." Mileena started singing.
Rin started singing and started dancing with the crowd. "Soon you'll be, home with me. Once upon a December." She stopped singing as she hugged her mother, "Oh…thank you momma." She continued singing and dancing when she crashed into someone in the crowd. Looking up as the person caught her she smiled. It was Sesshomaru.
"You should really watch where you're going Rin, you could've been hurt." Sesshomaru said as he set her down. He grabbed the velvet box out of his pocket and looked over at Mileena; she smiled and nodded her head.
But before he was able to do anything or say anything a gust of wind blew in the room hard. People started panicking and had raced to the open door that swung open. Once everyone got to the door it was blocked by all kinds of demons and a woman on a feather. The doors then slammed closed as she jumped off the flying feather.
Frightened by what was happening Rin stepped back and held onto her mother. Sesshomaru stood in front of her and her mother as a woman figure was recognized as Kagura. He growled as she walked through the center of the crowd. Everyone made a pathway for her to walk through. She walked over to the royal thrones and laughed as Sesshomaru gripped his sword Tokijin in his hand.
"Well, well, well. Look at what I have here. A demon princess, a terrible queen and a prince who just can't stop protecting the princess. HOW PATHETIC." She said as she went to go step another foot closer to the thrones when Sesshomaru sword came up to her neck.
"Leave now, Kagura." He growled as he heard Rin's cries behind him.
"Why so you can celebrate that little so called demon princesses birthday. Everyday she looks more and more like a human brat." She laughed as the sword went closer to her neck. "Every last one of the Northern Land's Royal Crest will die within the fortnight. I will kill you off, one by one. Starting with that brat." She put her hands up in the air as the sword swung at her. Cutting the side of her face, "You pathetic fool…" The wind started to blow harder around her. No one could see anything. Except for the dead souls and demons attacking everyone. Rin cried as her mother held her.
"Mileena get Rin out of here. I'll handle Kagura and her useless games." Crestfallen said as Kagura threw multiple attacks at him which he dodged most of them, but her dangerous blades hit him in the arm and chest which caused him to collapse. Mileena went to run to him when he growled, "Get Rin out of here Mileena. I'll be fine; I can handle all her attacks."
Mileena grabbed Rin's hand and started to run through the ballroom with tears storming down her face. Sesshomaru followed close behind them before Kagura attacked them to keep them from leaving as well. Sesshomaru attacked Kagura and fought her. Mileena tried to pull Rin with her, but Rin wanted to stay and wait for Sesshomaru.
"Rin we must go."
"NOOO!!!" She said as she turned back and went running to Sesshomaru. A demon went chasing after her when she grabbed a broke glass and threw it at him, but more started coming after her. Sesshomaru looked at Rin run away from her mother and left Kagura to get Rin out of the dangerous battle. He grabbed her and rushed her over to Mileena. Grabbing the velvet box and opening it. He took out a diamond ring and gave it to Rin.
"You have to go Rin; it's too dangerous to stay here." Rin shook her head as she tried to hold back all her tears, "I'm coming back for you Rin, wherever you are I'll find you but go." She nodded her head as she gave him a quick hug. His hand grabbed hers, "That is my promise to you Rin." Mileena pulled her away as she let go of Sesshomaru's hand.
They ran outside, into the back of the castle where a carriage waited for the last of the royal family to come out. Mileena hurried and dragged Rin behind her. Trying to keep the carriage from leaving without them. She a boarded the carriage. Once her full body got on the carriage she tried helping Rin up when it started moving. She held onto her hand as her daughter's tears poured out. She saw she held onto both her hands and the ring Sesshomaru gave her.
"Rin hold onto my hand." Mileena said as she looked at her daughter. Tears poured from her eyes.
"Don't let go momma. Please…don't let go." After that her hand slipped when the carriage started going over broken branches. Rin slipped and fell as she screamed. "Momma, help me. Help me please." She landed on the ground hard. There she lay unconscious and helpless. Her mother's eyes went wide as she tried to jump off the carriage to go help her daughter when the other royal families held her down.
"RIN!!!" Mileena screamed.
The carriage continued riding off into the deep, dark forest while Rin lay helpless on the ground. As Mileena looked at her daughter she relaxed her body and cried. She held onto her necklace wondering if Rin was too. She no longer saw Rin once the carriage entered more into the deep forest.
NIGHTOFTHETERROR
1418 Ten Years Later
~Rin's Point of View~
I sat in my room alone while everyone else was outside waiting for the village headmen to come back from him trip to the Western Lands. I was alone in this world and have been for the last ten years of my life. I have no memory of my past from when I was a child and from the time I was born. I knew nothing of my family. I've been an orphan since I was eight. All I remember of my past was that I am a dog demon from the North and that my name was Rin. That's all.
The lady of the village, Kaori, she was the headmen's wife, she found me stranded on a desert road by the Northern Palace. I had bruises and had completely lost my memory. She took me in as her own daughter and feed me. I wondered while I lived in the headmen's hut if my family deserted me. But I think that wasn't what happened. I do remember when I woke up the day after Kaori found me I had a diamond ring on my finger and a diamond heart pendant around my neck. The ring kind of symbolized a married woman. Before she found me was I married? It couldn't be, I was eight when she found me.
But with the diamond hear pendant hanging from my neck and the ring on my ring finger I knew I must leave the village to find my family. And I had a clue where they might be. On the back of my necklace an inscription said, 'Together Again, In the West. For one day I will take you there.' That was a key to find out who I truly was and who my family is.
Every now and then I have these strange dreams of this man saving me from this evil woman. He always popped into my head. Strange images of a place and people dancing invaded my mind. All I can ever remember from my dreams and the images was his long silver hair and his wonderful, beautiful golden eyes.
I sat against the window pane. As a knock came to my door. I looked away from the window and watched a girl run into the room. It was Kaori's oldest daughter, Suki. She ran over to the window and sat next to me.
"What is it Suki?" I said as I looked at her. She jumped up and onto my bed.
"Daddy's down stairs. He has presents for us all. Even you Rin." Suki looked at me when I looked away from her. "What's wrong Rin?"
"I'm not his daughter Suki….I want nothing." I looked at her then got off the window pane. I looked through the window and out to the valley in front of me. I looked toward the sacred valley of the west a few miles away. "I'll be leaving here soon enough."
"You're still thinking about leaving Osami Village? Why, to find your family? Rin I thought you enjoyed being here?" Suki said as she walked over to me. Her eyes filled with tears.
"I do, but I have family out there. Their probably looking for me." I said her eyes filled up with tears. "I'm on a mission to find them. They must be out there; they did leave me with a diamond ring and my pendant." I said as I turned away from her, "If they are looking for me I want to return to them so they won't have to worry anymore."
"It's been ten years Rin. Your eighteen years old now, they probably gave up already." I turned to her and shook my head. "You're relying on a ring that might be worth a fortune and a diamond necklace with a hear pendant with an inscription on the back to find your family? Are you crazy?" I shook my head. "Demons are out there trying to kill off their prey, you wouldn't last an hour in the woods alone."
"Don't you remember? I too am a demon. I know how to get around. I'll buy a horse and some food that will last me a while and I'll be on my way." I said as I turned to her, "I can't stay here anymore Suki. I'm an adult now. I need to find my own way." I walked over to the door and put my hand on the doorknob.
"At least to be safer bring Kisharu with you for protection. He's number one in his training courses and he knows how to handle a sword very well. Plus he killed a demon before. He can protect you while you're on your journey." Suki said as I laughed,
"Kisharu may be number one in his training courses but he only killed one demon. I killed over twenty. I have demon power and I don't need a humans help traveling through those dangerous woods and sacred mountains, it would attract a lot of attention. And get us both killed before I reach the western lands." Suki faces sadden up. I could feel her pain from where I stood. Suki and I had became great friends and sisters since her mother found me ten years ago, but my true family resided in the west that is where I am really needed.
"But…" I walked out the room and exited the hut. There I saw Kisharu standing in the middle of the room next to three horses. His father was home finally. He came walking to me as I pushed away from him. Kisharu has like this small crush on me and has had it since I started getting a body of a adult woman that that was when I turned twelve. Demons body grows differently then humans do so by the time I turned sixteen I had a full woman's body. Huge breasts, nice curves, and a smile of an angel. Although he had a crush on me his affection toward me wasn't toward myself or my personality it was toward my body. He forced himself on me a few times last year but I fought with him to get off me.
Kisharu pushed himself in front of me as I tried to walk around he pinned me to a tree away from the hut so that the villagers and his father and mother wouldn't see what he was doing. His brown eyes looked down at me then went looking down at my chest below. "Kisharu move."
"Where are you going Rin? My fathers back, aren't you going to greet him and be glad of his return?" I growled as he got closer to me. Shoving his face on the side of my neck.
"What, are my father now Kisharu?" I growled as I felt his breath grace itself against my neck. I growled as I tried pushing him away. "Get away from me Kisharu." He didn't move away, "Let go of me. I must be off….I'm leaving tonight."
"Your not serious are you Rin?" He said as I nodded my head. "I cannot let you leave the village Rin; it's too dangerous for you to go out into the woods alone." He kneeled down in front of me as my eyes went wide. One of his hands had a firm hold on one of my hands and the other was grabbing something out of his pocket. A shiny diamond ring. He went to take off my other ring when I growled. He took the other hand in his and said, "Marry me Rin." I shook my head as he put the ring on my finger. "Be my wife." I grabbed the ring and threw it in the dirt then pushed him away and went running for the stables. "What the hell Rin?" He said as he ran after me.
"For the last time Kisharu, I do not love you, I will never love you. I will never marry you. I am in the middle of looking for my family and you think I'm going to give all that up to marry you. Ha! That's funny." I walked away thinking Kisharu got the point, but he didn't, "Give up Kisharu, I will find my family and the man who gave me this ring ten years ago."
"You don't even know what you're looking for Rin. How are you going to find your family if you don't know what your mother or father look like or who this demon man is that gave you that ring." He said as I stopped walking. "Plus your better then this Rin, your better then the demon blood coursing through your veins." I turned around and slapped him.
"How dare you!" I said as my face became red with anger, "My demon blood is what has been keeping me alive since I was just a child. You don't even know me Kisharu." I screamed as I ran into the stables. I saw a man petting one of his horses and feeding them carrots for food. "Excuse me sir, how much for one of your horses?"
"Well child, all the horse in these stables is worth a lot, except for that black one in the back. I'm giving him away for free. I doubt you'd want him though."
"Why's that sir?" I said as I walked closer to him.
"He's a devilish horse, but he runs at an incredible speed. He might be the kind of horse your looking for, but your won't be able to ride him. He's untamed and wild." I looked over to the black horse in the back. He had green eyes and a long black mane and a red scar across his eye. He was a marvelous creature I have ever seen. I walked over to him. He was jumping around. "Miss I don't think you want to go over there….." I ignored the man and continued to walk toward the wild horse. I slowly approached him as I put my hand out.
The horse looked at me and nodded his head to me. I bowed down my head as I walked closer to him. I could here his breathing from where I stood. He was chained up against the post. He must be wild if this man has to chain him up. I stood beside him and petted his back. I held a saddle in front of him and looked at him. He nodded his head as he bowed down a little for me to put the saddle on his back.
"He's a marvelous creature young lady, wild and untamed, yet he allowed you to come near him." I smiled as I jumped on his back. "I called him Cokei when I found him a week ago." I smiled as I cut the ropes and unhooked the chains from the post and unlocked him from his prison cell. "You can have him. Just make sure you let him rest every three hours or so. And feed him lots of carrots and veggies, and if you happen to pass by a lake, river or creek let him rest and drink water then continue on your journey."
"Thank you kind sir. I really appreciate it." I grabbed Cokei's reins and galloped off out of the stables. I had him go back to the headmen's hut for my farewell goodbyes. Stopping at the hut I jumped off his back and hugged Kaori and the headmen. Then hugged Suki, I promised her I wouldn't forget her. "I'll be on my way now. I thank you all for putting up with me for these past ten years, but now I must find my own way. I'm leaving to the Western Lands tonight."
"Have a safe trip Rin. I really do hope you find what you're looking for. Kaori said as she gave me one last hug. Tears were crashing down her face as she said goodbye. I said my last goodbye and headed out the village. Thinking it would be much easier way to go I went through the sacred forest that leads me through the Old Northern Palace Ruins.
Cokei galloped off out the village gates and into the sacred woods. I looked around while Cokei ran through the woods. I forgot to buy some food for the journey; I guess I'll just get some food at the nearby village not far from the Ruins of the Old Palace. Cokei was fast, he ran through bushes making sure I didn't get hurt and jumped off steep hills and mountain ranges.
We arrived at the ruins when I looked around. This place looked so familiar, as if I had been here before. I smiled as I pulled Cokei to a stop at the gates of the ruins. I looked up at the towers of the palace and just spaced out. I began having flashbacks. Flashbacks of the past I couldn't remember.
~End of Rin's Point of View~
TENYEARSLATER
1418 Western Palace
She sat alone on the balcony. She looked out to the world around her. Tears streamed down her saddened face as she watched the cherry blossom trees bloom. Her heart felt brokenness in her. What more could she take? What more could be token from her and not given back? First her mate Crestfallen then her daughter Rin. Although it's been ten years she felt it would be wrong to give up now. She knew somewhere out there her little girl was wondering around looking for her. But she knew her little girl wasn't so little any more. It's been ten years now, Rin grew up, she doesn't have the child features that she had ten years ago before the battle with Kagura.
Inu Taisho looked at Mileena from a distance. He allowed her to stay at his palace in the Western Lands until the palace in the north was rebuilt. But no one dared to step foot in the north since 1408. For they knew Kagura might be lurking around waiting for someone to come. His son was in bad shape now. He killed every maid that entered his chambers without permission. Killed every villager that stepped foot into the valley. All he does is kill and look at the valley around on his balcony.
Sesshomaru believed Rin was somewhere out there and he wanted to find her fast. Every day his soldiers ran through every demon village in the Northern Land and searched for the princess. Then went searching through the other demon villages in the other lands to find her. It's been ten years now and still no luck in finding her. He hasn't slept well since that night when Kagura attacked. That night Kagura wasn't killed she was injured badly and fled after three hours in battle. Somewhere deep in his heart he knew she was alive and he was determined to find her. Then make her his mate.
Inu Taisho looked at him then went walking a little bit closer to his son when he heard him speak, unknowingly that he was standing there.
"Rin I will not stop until I've found you and you're safe in my arms." He remembered the promise he promised her, 'I'm coming back for you Rin, wherever you are, I'll find you. But go.' Sesshomaru felt the presence of his father and growled. His father had doubted him when it came to Rin being alive. "What do you want father?"
"For you my son to stop fretting about Rin. She's gone. Mileena even said she lay helplessly on the road." Sesshomaru growled as his father stepped back, "It's been ten years Sesshomaru, she's not coming back, when will you accept that she is gone? Gone forever?"
"NEVER!" Sesshomaru growled as a cherry blossom fell into the palm of his hand. Cherry Blossom's were Rin's favorite flower, one of her favorite trees, especially in the winter. "I made a promise to her, and I will keep that promise." Inu Taisho shook his head as Sesshomaru grabbed a cherry blossom and squeezed it in his hand, "She is alive. I know she is. I feel it."
"I know you love her Sesshomaru, but she was a child then, she felt nothing of love toward you, you were older then she was and she saw you as her protector, the man that killed those that hurt her and protected her from those that tried to harm her." Sesshomaru growled once more and grabbed his sword and threw it toward his father's direction, "you learn fast my son, but one of these days you will realize that you can't believe she's alive, when she's not."
"And you father, have you told Mileena all this. Have you explained to her that her daughter will never come back?" Inu Taisho shook his head as he turned away from his son.
"My son you really need to give up. She's not coming back. It's best you leave it to that and find a mate that will help rule beside you…."
"GET OUT!" Sesshomaru roared as his anger grew. His father had no right in telling him that Rin will never come back.
Sesshomaru leaned on the rail and closed his eyes, he breath in the scent of the cherry blossom's. He remembers the day Rin smelly like cherry blossoms. Rin meant so much to him when she was a kid. He wondered what she'd look like now. Now that's she all grown up and now has a body of an adult. He knew she was a child when he felt for her, but she was the one he trusted. He knew she was one of the most purest demoness in all the lands that he was willing to stop at nothing to take her from any man that comes forth to love her.
WESTERNPALACE
1418 Ruins of the Northern Palace
~Rin's Point of View~
It's been over an hour since I stopped for a break. Cokei was getting quite tired. I hadn't gotten any sleep last night so I figured since it was nighttime I could rest at the ruins of this palace until dawn came. I tied Cokei up against a post in the ball room; well at least it looked like the ball room. It looked like it had been abandon for about twenty years. I wondered what lord or lady would abandon such a lovely palace. Despite the dust and broken windows. And shattered glass.
I walked around and saw a vase not too far from the ball room; it was put to the side on a lovely table. It had painting of colorful bears on it. In the back of my head I could hear this song playing, as if I had been here before. As if I knew the song. I put my hand on the vase and breathe in as I closed my eyes. There I started singing this lullaby I had once heard, a long time ago.
I wiped my hand across the vase and song, "Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember." I song this song before, but where, "And a song someone sings…" I walked away and into the middle of the ball room, "Once upon a December."
Looking around I started seeing images of my past, at least it was what I thought was my past. There was a women standing at the top of the stairs and smiled, I looked at her, she looked similar to me. I could see a man next to her; he had the same hazel eyes as me, what's going on. Across from them was another man, his long silver hair reminded me of the man in my dreams. So did his golden eyes.
"Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through a silver storm," I looked more closely as other people gathered around me, they started dancing as the man with the long silver hair somehow ended in front of me, his hand brushed over my cheek as I smiled, "Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory…" I sung as he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the crowd. He bowed his head as I curtsied to him and we started dancing while I sung more of the song.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh….aaaaaahhhhhh……ahhhhhh" the figures around me started adding to the song as we danced around.
"Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember," I sung as I closed my eyes for a second and felt like I was flying above the clouds, "things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember…." The man with the silver hair stopped dancing and glared at me. He grabbed my hand and pulled it up to his lips and kissed it. I held his hand as he begun fading away for the moment, "And a song, someone sings…..Once upon a December." I stopped as I fell to the ground. I got up and looked around. No one was there. I was singing alone, that was impossible. But that song still got to me, I knew it from somewhere; I learned it from someone, but whom?
Cokei started making noises as shadow's begun lurking around the ball room. I grabbed a piece of broken glass and headed up stairs where I found a portrait of the Northern Lands Lords and Ladies family. I looked at the picture of the little girl, who also looked similar to me. Could it be I found out who I am? That little girl is me, but how?
I brushed my hand across the girls face when I heard a male's voice from a distance. I turned around and saw some man running up the stairs. I growled as he looked at me.
"What are you doing here? These are royal grounds." He looked closer then looked at the little girl in the portrait then back at me. He quickly bowed then said, "Could you happen to be Princess Rin?"
"I don't know about princess, but yes my name is Rin. Why do you ask?" I said as he laughed. I moved away when he came closer to me. He started circling around me and smiled, "What are you doing?"
"You look just like the princess that once lived here." I looked at him as he looked back at the picture, "Too bad she was lost within the wind on the most awful day of those years ago."
"What years? What are you talking about?" I said as I looked at him. He had long brown hair that went past his shoulder's, and green eyes, they looked wonderful.
"Ten years ago, Princess Rin was having her eighth birthday when Kagura, the great wind sorceress attacked her family and killed everyone in her way. Her mother got away and hid in the Western Lands with Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inu Taisho. Her mother tried to escape with the princess when she fell off the carriage and had lain helpless on the road. Most believes she's dead, others believe someone found her and took care of her." He said as I looked at him. Kind of reminds me of what happened with me, Kaori found me a few miles away from here on a road.
"What exactly do you believe, Sir?"
"I don't know what I believe. I do know that Lord Sesshomaru is looking for Princess Rin and has been for ten years. He promised her he would. He even gave her a ring that signifies that promise he made. He wants anyone who finds her to return her to him immediately and there he will make her his mate." He looked down at my ring then at the necklace. "Who exactly are you, Miss?"
"I really don't know. I was found a few miles from here on a road. The headmen's wife Kaori took me in. I don't remember much of my past. I lost my memory when I was a little girl. Now I am trying to restore it." I said as he grabbed my hand and looked at the ring.
"You married?" I shook my head, "Where did you get this ring at?"
"I had it ever since I was a little girl, I never take it off, and if you don't mind I don't want anyone touching it…" He bowed before me. "Why are you bowing?"
"Milady, that ring you have is the ring Lord Sesshomaru gave to the princess ten years ago." I'm confused now. Kaori said she found the ring on my finger when she found me, "I think….I found the lost princess."
"You're kidding right? I can't be the princess." I shook my head and ran down the stairs, "There must be a mistake."
"If it was a mistake, why are you holding the princesses treasured possessions? That pendant around your neck was given to Princess Rin ten years ago as well by her mother Lady Mileena." I gasped as I looked at the ring then my pendant. I looked toward the doorway and saw that silver haired man again, but only for a second. "You are the Princess Rin."
"I can't be….."
"I'm coming back for you Rin, wherever you are, I'll find you. But go…." I could hear a voice. I know this voice, but where, "That is my promise to you Rin,"
"Can you take me to the Western Lands? I need to speak with the lord himself." He nodded his head as he bowed, "That's not necessary…"
"Yes Milady. The lord waits for your return." He said as he ran down the stairs and went walking toward Cokei. He growled as he stepped back. I laughed as I grabbed Cokei's reins. "By the way, I am Kasamaru; I am but a servant to Lord Inu Taisho."
I nodded my head as he led me through the ball room. I walked out the room and Cokei's reins in my left hands and my pendant in my right. Could I really be royalty? Could I be the princess this man is looking for? Will I find my family well my mother on this adventure? Those questions ran through my head as we walked out the palace.

~AUTHORS NOTE~
Hate to stop it there, but I have to I already have over 6,500 words. But I promise you that you will not be disappointed. I will update another chapter in a week or two.
Also this story is kind of like the story of Anastasia from the Disney Channel version, but I made it into a story about Sesshomaru trying to find Rin, and Rin trying to find her family and the person responsible for the ring on her finger. More updates about the story will be posted later.
Thanks for reading my story, "Little Princess Lost". If you're going to review please don't criticize, I worked really hard on this story and I don't want anyone criticizing on it.
Thank you again for reading it. And the song Rin sings toward the end is the song Anastasia sung in the Russian Palace. Once Upon a December. I do not own the song. Or the characters except for the ones I made up and this story I own.
Thanks
Until next time.
