This started off as a not a fanfic but I'm obsessed with Fluffy a the moment so it has become a fanfic.

The cool water felt good against her hot, sweaty face. She breathed in deep and closed her eyes. The same question buzzed in the back of her mind, like it had been doing for weeks.

Who is she?

But she had to push it aside, the sun was already high in the sky, she had wasted a lot of the day time hours. Sitting up she grabbed her bag full of fruits and then her walking stick propped up against a nearby tree.

All she could remember was waking up in the forest, alone. It had been nearly night fall at the time, so she had just taken cover until daylight…Living off of the fruits and vegetation the forest provided, she sometimes wished she knew how to hunt. Or at least fish. A little protein would make her stomach feel better, she just knew it.

The silence was almost unbearable. Sure, the forest made its own noise but it was never human, never comforting, or reassuring. Every noise could be some unknown predator gaining ground on her. Her body shook violently with fear of the unknown in the forest.

She let her imagination get the better of her all the time now. She had been walking for several minutes before she realized she wasn't being paranoid. There was something following her, she was sure of it this time. Stopping she turned quickly on the spot and held her walking stick out as a weapon.

Nothing.

Unnerved she picked up the pace and continued forward. She thought to herself how silly and futile it was, where was she going? Why rush to no where?

She came up to a clearing and slowed down. She could hear the laughter of a child, the sound made a smile break out on her face and her heart felt heavy. She had been alone for so long, it hurt.

Stepping behind a tall willow she peered around to get a better look at who was in the field. A small girl with raven black hair was dancing and picking the flowers in the field. She was wearing a yellow and orange komono. Scanning the area she found what appeared to be a two headed dragon grazing not far from the girl. It had been covered with flowers from the field. Apparently the girl had decorated the poor creature.

She decided to step out to speak with the child, but before she announced her self an awful whiney voice rang throughout the field.

"Rin! It is time to return to Lord Sesshomaru! Hurry up you silly child!"

She could see a staff sticking out of the tall grass and assumed the speaker was holding it. It was moved in a manner that suggested the holder was irriated. The little girl spun around and skipped her way towards the dragon.

"Yes, Master Jaken!" She sang out and began humming a tune.

The nasty voice broke out again, "leave those flowers Rin! You will not be putting them on me. Not this time ningen!"

The girl stuck her tongue out to the staff and clutched her beautiful bouquet of flowers to her chest, obviously ignoring the voice.

Sighing she leaned up against a tree. She was too nervous to approach the person with the annoying voice, he sounded like he was mean. She was so mentally exhausted, she probably couldn't handle it. She closed her eyes to keep her tears at bay and balled up her hands.

"Who are you? Why are you watching my wards?" A harsh voice demanded.

She sucked in her breath quickly and her eyes popped open, that voice was too close! Standing a couple feet in front of her stood an inu-demon. His posture wasn't threatening but his aura radiated great power. She began to tremble. He took a step closer.

"Ningen, I asked you, who are you and why are you observing my wards? I will not repeat myself a third time," he threatened and cracked the knuckles in his hand.

Forgetting her back was against a tree, she tried backing up and just managed to bang her against a branch.

"I-I am lost." She stammered. He continued to stare at her and she realized she didn't answer his other question, "I do not know who I am…where I am…." She looked around her surroundings with confusion covering her face. "I just woke up in this forest a couple weeks ago. I have no memories."

"I see," the inu-lord walked past her out to the clearing. His wards were waiting, apparently they heard the commotion.

Panic struck her hard with the realization that she would be alone again when they left. She spun around and fell to her knees.

"Please! May I come with you? Only for a while, until I figure out what to do?" Tears sprung to her eyes.

The demon had stopped and she heard him huff at her.

"Do not cry in front of this Sesshomaru. You may do as you wish otherwise." He flipped his hand in the air in a dismissive way and continued forward.

"Thank you, Sesshomaru-sama!" A real smile graced her face, the first one in weeks. The first real one anyway. For some reason she told herself to smile even if she did not feel like it. Doing so did make her feel better, but not by much.

As she approached the small group, the young girl jumped off the dragon's back and came running up to her.

"Hello! Are you traveling with us? I'm Rin, and that's Master Jaken," she pointed at the imp like demon who shot her a dirty look, "Au-un and Lord Sesshomaru," this all came out as one word an she took a deep breath, "What's your name?"

Trying to take in everything the girl said, she smiled down at her, " I don't know my name. "

Rin looked at her thoughtfully, "Ada, you look like an Ada to me," She smiled brightly at her before running back to Au-Un and the Imp.
