A/N: Hello. It's been a while since I wrote a SessXRin fic, and honestly this idea has been floating around in my head for the last month. Just recently I decided to try to start writing it, and now, I can't stop.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Warning: I know this chapter is short, but they will get longer.


Chapter 1:

Rin awoke early this morning with a start. She was covered with light sweat, and her body was shaking, as if to bring herself out of the dreaming world.

She took a look around her dark surroundings.

She was in Kaede's village, or now, Kagome's. She had taken over when Kaede passed away when Rin was 15.

She was safe inside the darkness of her hut.

After a few minutes of Rin thinking she wasn't going back to sleep, she found herself laying back down, and soon, closed her eyes.

...

The last couple hours of sleep were uneventful.

And soon, the sun was shining through the window.

Once again, Rin rose, feeling a little drained from her active dream, or... Nightmares. But that didn't matter now.

Why?

"Happy birthday, Rin!" Kagome immediately greeted her as she came out to the gardens.

That's why.

Birthdays never really meant much to Rin. Especially considering today was probably not her real Birth-day. Just a certain day of the year Sesshomaru had made time to visit the last 7 years.

He did occasionally visit on other times, but when Kagome saw the pattern after 3 years of Rin being here, she declared today her birthday.

"Thanks." Rin said simply.

"And, it's not just any birthday, Rin. You are 18! Can you believe it?!" Kagome said excitedly.

Another habit of Kagome's that Rin never understood.

She was 18, last year she was 17.

"Yeah." Rin tried to show her enthusiasm, but not as well as Kagome.

"We should go to my era today, do some shopping, grab a nice lunch." Kagome said.

"Um..." Rin said unsure.

Sure, she'd been to Kagome's world a couple times, because she did grow open to human environments.

Especially Kagome's.

"We don't have to do all of that." Rin said.

"Oh. Come on. Today is special. You need to learn how to celebrate more." Kagome insisted.

Rin thought for a minute. There was never use to talking her out of anything. Even InuYasha had learned that. It took him longer, but...

"Okay. Sure." Rin sighed.

Kagome squealed excitedly, "Okay. After breakfast, we head out."


A/N: So, here is my start. What could Rin's dreams be?

And also, I am aware Kagome probably couldn't take Rin to her era, but hey, it's fanfiction.

Hope you're enjoying so far.
