So let's face it, a human raised by a demon is probably going to grow up to be an awesomely powerful person. Rin was still pretty young at the end of the series but what happened afterword? According to the Final Act, went to live with Kaede, Kikyo's sister.
Miko means shrine maiden
Chapter 1 - A Gift from Lord Sesshomaru
Living with Ms. Kaede had not been bad. Rin gained many new skills, including how to bandage wounds and how to cook a lot better. Over time humans became a lot less scary as well.
But she missed Lord Sesshomaru and Jaken. She even missed A-Uh. It wasn't like she didn't know why she was there. A human girl was obviously too weak to travel along side great demons like them. Kikyo and Kogomae were able to, but they had skills like archery.
That is what brought her to the open field. A simple clay jar sat upon a stump as she drew back the bow she had borrowed from Ms. Kaede. She took aim and held it until her forearm burned. When she released, she watched hopefully as it missed completely.
Wincing dramatically, she shook her head. "Not even close." she said under her breath.
"What are you trying to do? "came a cool, deep voice behind her. She whipped around to find master Sesshomaru standing there. She smiled widely and bowed to him. "I want to be stronger." she answered honestly.
He frowned and looked her over in silence. She waited for him to say something but he didn't.
It was just a moment, but she thought that he was going to reach out to her. She had this foolish hope that he would pat her on the head. He turned away and started to move back toward the village. She smiled brightly and followed him. It didn't matter if he did that or not, she loved him more than anything and that was what counted
On their way, the villagers stared at them with fright. At first she was scared of them but it seemed like some of them were really nice. Lord Sesshomaru didn't acknowledge any of them so she ignored them as well.
When Lord Sesshomaru came to visit Ms. Kaede would busy herself with something or find something to do so that they could have their own space. She didn't mind her talking to him too but she was grateful for her consideration.
It was always a long time between his visits and he never stayed for very long but she was always very happy to see him. Sometimes he would come with gifts for him. While she enjoyed the gifts she didn't need them.
She was disappointed when he left so quickly. She walked out the door with him so that she could watch him leave. She was always so sad when he left and she didn't know when she would see him again.
She clenched her fists. Next time he saw her, she would be stronger. She didn't know that it would only be a couple of months before he would visit her again.
Jaken was waiting outside the village for Sesshomaru. "Master Sesshomaru," said Jaken, being left behind as Sesshomaru strode forward. "where are we going?" Sesshomaru didn't answer and he just kept walking toward his goal.
When Sesshomaru arrived back in the village months later, it was late at night. It seemed like the whole village was asleep, save the couple of watchmen that were keeping guard. They were still tense around him but it seemed like they were beginning to get used to his presents. He really didn't care either way.
He ignored them and headed up the hill, where Rin lived. Once he arrived he settled outside of her door, intent on meditating until she awoke.
It didn't take long fir her to appear at the door. For a moment he thought that she might be able to sense him but reasoned that it was a silly thought and dismissed it. She was probably up anyway.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked, rubbing her eyes. He looked in her direction, to acknowledge that he had heard her. She stumbled out and sat next to him. For a couple of moments they just sat next to each other, looking at the sky.
Finally he addressed her, "The bow does not suit you." he stated. She looked down at her lap. He could see that she knew this to be true as well. In the folds of his clothes he had retrieved the gift that he had been concealing.
He gave her the simple dagger that he got for her. She held it up to the moonlight and looked at it in wonder. There was nothing special about it, it wasn't even decorated. He just thought that a weapon like this would suit her better.
After looking thoroughly at the dagger she looked at him. "Does this mean that I can come with you?" She waited for a moment. "I don't want to live here without you, please?" There was such hope in her eyes.
He didn't have an answer for her. He... enjoyed her company. She was unique in a way that he couldn't even describe. He didn't come here with the intention of taking her out of the village. He left her here knowing that it would be better for her.
He stood to leave. Without looking at her he said, "Come if you want."
