Rin Through the Ages
The pretty dark haired girl was running through the forest. It was day time and there were a lot of bright patches that were shining in between the trees. She was smiling happily. The young girl knew that her master would be coming back to where he left her really soon. She smiled brightly and could not stop herself from smiling. In her other hand she was carrying flowers that she had picked for her lord. She was just happy.
The light haired man-demon was walking with his retainer with his usual speed and grace. He appeared to be completely indifferent to the whole situation. He had come back from a gruesome battle with one of his many enemies. It was obvious that no human was needed and she would only be a hindrance. Even if he did have the life healing sword he did not want her to come to harm.
It had been about six years that he let her follow him. It was a strange thing to let a human child follow him. Ordinarily he let no one follow him but she followed him and he let her. Six years can go by really fast to a demon that had an extended life. Six years meant nothing to a demon but six years meant a huge time of growth to a little girl. She was no longer a child but still not a woman.
Rin was now twelve years old. Sesshoumaru was still ageless and appeared the same as when she first met him. The changes in the girl were very few. She was still the happy little girl that followed him and smiled for her master.
A small smile crossed the Sesshoumaru's lips. Remembering the past six years didn't seem so bad. He remembered how Rin always told him that she wasn't lonely anymore. He was with her and she was the most happiest. She may not be with her own kind and it was unusual to have humans follow demons but she didn't care. Rin had made her choice and she did not appear to regret it at all.
Sesshoumaru could hear the girl running towards where he had left her. She jumped out of the forest and smiled brightly at him. "Welcome back Sesshoumaru-sama. Welcome back Jaken-sama." Sesshoumaru looked down at the little girl with his eyes and walked past her. She just continued smiling.
Jaken being the faithful servant that he was just started to berate the little girl the way that he always did. "Rin you shouldn't run off like that. What if something happened to you? You know who would get in trouble?" Jaken always claimed that he would be the one to get in trouble but the truth was he had grown to worry for the little girl. Jaken was often reminded of strength and weakness in the world of demons and even humans to a certain extent. To Jaken a little girl like Rin was nothing in both worlds of demons and humans. She was a little girl that could easily be killed. Jaken knew that his master would not approve of something like that happening. Through the years Jaken started to understand his master's actions.
The reason that Sesshoumaru let her stay with him was because he brought her back to life. In a way her life belonged to the great demon of the west. Although Sesshoumaru let Rin do as she liked, Rin knew that she belonged with her master. She could not imagine a life without her master.
"Did Sesshoumaru-sama defeat all the enemies?" She asked him cheerfully as she sat next to him underneath a tree. Sesshoumaru looked at the little girl with a blank expression in his eyes. "Yes." Was his simple reply.
"Of course Sesshoumaru-sama did. He's the greatest who ever lived." She smiled brightly once again.
Later on that night as Sesshoumaru had to deal with some issues; he left Jaken and Ah-Uh with Rin. Jaken and Rin were sitting by a fire and they were cooking their fish. "Rin aren't you going to leave us soon?" Jaken has asked that question out of the blue. Rin looked thoroughly surprised. "Why would I do that?"
Jaken was sometimes very irritating because he always asked questions that had no clear answer and that would lead him to ask more questions. "Rin don't you want to have a family of your own and leave us?" Rin just furrowed her brows in confusion. "What is Jaken-sama talking about? Rin is staying here with Sesshoumaru-sama forever." She smiled and laid against the tree looking up the sky wistfully. The girl couldn't even think about life outside of her master. She simply could not think of it. She closed her eyes for a moment.
"Impossible. I don't think Sesshoumaru-sama is going to let some human girl stay with him forever. What happens when you grow old and no longer cute?" Jaken waited for an answer. He was being cruel but she was used to it. Jaken waited for some more but nothing came out of the girl. He looked over and noticed that she had fallen asleep. "That girl." He half-yelled.
