Chapter One:
Sesshomaru was sitting on a rock that resided next to a river. It was deep into the night. The cold was getting to Rin. She had a fever for days now, but surprisingly didn't give into the pain it caused her. Sesshomaru stared at her. The young child lay on the ground in deep sleep. She was at peace with the world.
"Master Sesshomaru do you still wish to send Rin away?"
"Yes." He stares down at where Rin lay. 'She will be safe now...'
Rin deeply cared for Sesshomaru. He protected her from the evil. Though Sesshomaru's cold heart stopped him from caring for her, Sesshomaru did protect her.
Sesshomaru went over and picked up Rin. She nearly woke up, but instead snuggled her nose in his chest and made a purring sound. He carried her to the village of Lady Kaede. She would train Rin, teach her the ways of priesthood.
As Sesshomaru walked through the village people began to run and hide. They feared Sesshomaru would mutilate them all. He walked directly to Lady Kaede's hut and rather intensely pushed himself inside.
"Why does ye barge into my home?" Lady Kaede had grown very old in the past years. Sesshomaru could smell the old age on her. "The child, Rin... She needs a home." He sets her onto the cold ground. Rin began to flinch, she was trying to wake. "Why? Does ye care for a human?"
Sesshomaru twitched. He turned around and exited before she could say any more. 'It wouldn't be the best night for a slaughter.'
Rin opens her eyes to a strange hut. She sat up for a moment to regain conscience in her body. She then stood up staring at the old woman she was with. "Where is Master Sesshomaru?"
"Dear child, I am Lady Kaede. Sesshomaru has intrusted ye's life to me now."
"I don't understand! Where is Master Sesshomaru?" Tears began to flood her eyes.
Rin immediately ran outside to see Sesshomaru's figure walking toward the moonlight. She ran after him. Her body began to pulse. Tears fells with each push toward him.
"Master Sesshomaru!" He turns to see her running toward him. 'Dammit...'
Sesshomaru bent down to greet her at eye level. "Rin... You must stay here with Lady Kaede. You can not follow me any further."
"But I..." Sesshomaru interrupted her. "Goodbye Rin, I will not forget you." Rin hugged him, shocking Sesshomaru.
He stood up and pulled a necklace from his neck. It had small, circular blue beads and a sapphire at it's center. "Here Rin..." He put it over her neck. "This will protect you always." Rin continued to cry as she watched Sesshomaru walk toward the moonlight once more.
"Rin, Why don't you come with me to thehut and I will cook you some bread." Rin smiled at the shock lady Kaede gave when she walked over to her. Rin gave her a large hug and began to weep in Kaede's robes. Kaede came to realize how easy one could be taken by the small girl. She was so warm hearted and open. "Come, my child." Kaede grabed Rin's wet hand and walk back to her hut.
