A woman struggled to her feet. After traveling many days without rest Kyoko was becoming exhausted. "I can't give…up now. Not after I've come this far." She got to her feet and somehow managed to trudge on. Tears flowed slowly down her cheeks as she thought of her mission. As she walked into the nearby town, the woman began to ask people about her missing daughter. "Please, have you seen her? She has long black hair and she'll be about…" But everytime she asked, they would just brush her off like an unwanted fly. But one person was different. One old woman took pity on Kyoko. That one lady took Kyoko into her hut and fed her.

"What is your name child?" The old woman seemed nice. Though she had an eye patch over her one of her eyes and she looked like she was older than dirt, she wore the clothes of a priestess, that made her look like she could be trusted. Not only that, this woman had a warm feeling surrounding her.

"My name is Kyoko ma'am. I have a question if I may ask it?" The woman nodded and Kyoko continued. "I have lost my precious daughter and I wonder if you have seen her. She has long black hair and brown eyes and is around the age of 8 or 9. Have you seen her?"

The lady turned her head, "Does this maiden have a name?"

Kyoko nodded, "I named her Rin."
