Chapter One
Young Mind
His golden eyes were watching my own. He looked like he was filled with a tiny bit of regret. Her own were filled with curiosity.
It was cold outside, and the little girl was shivering, obviously her human body could not take the cold. The land that was in view was completely covered in white, the trees were barley able too show their green color and the ground wasn't able to show its brown dirt. Animals enjoyed the weather since it made it easier to hide from the hunters, and the hunters enjoyed the winter since it made the hunt harder and more exciting.
"What's wrong Lord Sesshomaru?" The little girl in the worn down outfit asked. Her face was worn out for a girl her age, but she still looked young but it was painfully obviously that this innocent child had seen much disaster in her young age.
"Rin… You must…" Was all the full breeded demon let out. He was a proud demon, he despised humans, yet he was soft with this one, and that was one of the many reasons he knew he must let her go. Keeping her would only cause disaster, and he didn't want her to suffer anymore than necessary.
"What must I do Lord Sesshomaru? You know I'll do anything for you!" Rin, the young girl told the demon Sesshomaru, she innocently smiled at him, and he didn't deserve it.
"You must stay in this village, with a women I am acquainted with" He finally let out, it was the biggest part of his guilt, because she would not be spending a little time in the village, she will be spending her entire life in it.
Rin look up to the demon in obvious confusion. "If that's what lord Sesshomaru wants," she said with hesitation in her voice. She didn't like the look in her master's eye.
He then picked her up and flew her to the village leaving her at the village entrance. "Goodbye my little companion" he said in a sweet voice that didn't feel like it belonged to him, and then disappeared.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" The little girl said into the nothingness around her, looking for him, endlessly, and then would be fated to be forever waiting.
Rin's Eleventh Winter
I stood outside the village in the freezing cold. My winter jacket was fashionable and warm and my hat and my gloves were shaped like cute fox demons, attempting to keep me warm in the cold weather. The snow had wrapped the entire village up, so no one was to be out and about in this snow storm, thus why I was all alone.
I started at the pathway, behind me, what is shown to my eyes was the entire village that consisted of about fifty houses and a village outdoor market, and in front of me was the unknown world that I know I had once traveled.
I stood for minutes, to hours and then for days. It was always the winter season that left me with a single foolish thought, that my lord Sesshomaru would be back and would save me from that mean old granny, that this beautiful demon lord would take me again from the race I belong and allow me to follow him.
It had been one year since he left me here in this village to the name I do not bother remembering. All I know is that Lord Sesshomaru's brother was once in love with a woman who I believe lived here, she died a long time ago and her sprit lived on to torment him but it became known to myself that her younger sibling to this women lived here, and she was assigned to be my care taker, by whom, I have no idea. The lady is mean and unfair, always yelling at me and never letting me do the things I like, like fishing, hunting and beating up boys.
Maybe its because I am only eleven, but I cannot understand my lords thoughts. Why did he leave me here… didn't he always say that I could follow him… did he say that? It's been so long. He left me here with the last sentence being that I was his companion. I don't know if he was referring to me actually being his companion or was referring to the meaning of my name, Rin.
Sadly enough, I am only eleven years old and I am having memory problems. I don't want to forget Lord Sesshomaru, but everyday I feel like the memory of him is slipping away silently. It is due to everyone telling me that he does not exist. But I know he does, so please Lord Sesshomaru come back! Was I that a bad of a girl? I know it was troublesome that I died twice… but I promise it won't happen again, so please just come back!
"Rin…" a woman with long dark brown hair and pale skin called out to me. She was wearing tradition clothes of this village that were a simple dress and apron. At one time she always wore something called a 'school uniform'. To me it personally looked like a sailor's outfit, excluding the super short skirt. I always thought she was apart of a pirate's gang or something. I once asked her but she burst out laughing and called me cute while patting my head. I didn't dislike this woman, but I felt like she was one of the people who were blocking my path on the way back to my Lord Sesshomaru!
"Kagome…?" I replied trying to remember her name. Like I said, I'm only eleven and I'm having memory problems. This was the woman Lord Sesshomaru didn't care for very much. She was a lover to Lord Sesshomaru's younger brother whom he hates because he believes his father was foolish and died because of him, and also because he's half human. At least that's why I think he hates him, I never really asked lord Sesshomaru, having to be honest. But after the war ended, I guess you could say they made a pact of avoiding each other and no longer completely hating each other, after all, Lord Sesshomaru could not hate them that much if he put me some what in there care.
"Your going to catch a cold out here, Rin, who are you waiting for?" Kagome asked already knowing the answer.
"I'm waiting for Lord Sesshomaru! I told you this yesterday and the day before that when you asked! I'm waiting for Lord Sesshomaru to come back and take me away from this village!" Tears ran down my face as I said this. I hated having to repeat myself to her; she seemed to have an even worst memory than myself.
"Oh… Rin, I've already told you, Lord Sesshomaru does not exist." Kagome replied, not looking into Rin's eyes as she said so, she was lying, but it didn't matter that she was lying, it was the reason behind the lie that Rin wanted to know.
I watched Kagome walk back into her little home, back to her half-demon lover. She has to be lying, there is no way Lord Sesshomaru does not exist, and I know he does! I remember him. I tired to convince myself. If I had to be more honest, than it would be that I am finding it harder to believe myself ever day. (Say that five times –haha-)
I remember when I first met him, he was badly hurt and I stole food and water from the village even though I knew that when they found out they would beat me. When they did find out and did beat me, Sesshomaru looked worried, even though I know it was only his curiosity of how I got my injury's, but it made me so happy that someone actually cared enough to ask that I smiled at him, and for the first time he scolded me, but even when he scolded me it was always gentle.
Then when I died, Lord Sesshomaru could smell my blood, he told me that the reason he decided to come see my body was because he couldn't get my smile out of his head, when he told me that I felt like the most special girl on the entire planet. Whenever he would start fighting he would always tell me where to go, so that I could be safe. He had to have done that because he cared about my safety. I remember all our entire small conversations and his expressionless face as tears rolled down my face.
There was also the time Kagura abducted me, Lord Sesshomaru came all the way to that cursed house to save me. He even had to fight along with Inuyasha, whom he hated just to save me. Rin had all these memories of this man, so how dare this village tell her he does not exist!
The Kaede started to walk up to Rin. The woman was very old and wore red and white robs along with her gray hair tied back. This was the mean-old lady Lord Sesshomaru had left her with. Ever since she came to this village, this woman has taken care of her, by constantly yelling at her and beating her whenever she did something a 'normal child' would not do.
"Come inside right now Rin!" Kaede yelled at Rin from a little far away, she didn't want to get close to the entrance of the village gate since she had no idea what monsters would jump out at them. It was very dangerous for Rin to even be out here alone.
"NO! GO AWAY" I yelled.
"For heaven sakes! This demon you dream about doesn't exist! I give you more one chance, come inside right now or no dinner!" Kaede threatened again.
Rin looked at the old lady and stuck her tongue out at her and turned her back.
"FINE YOU BRAT! CATCH A COLD!" The old lady yelled as she turned her back to Rin and walked back to her tiny house the she and Rin lived in.
"Hmpt, like I'd catch a cold!" Rin said in disbelief.
A few days later she caught a cold.
