Prologue
"Lord Sesshoumaru, where are we going?"
Sesshoumaru continued walking ignoring Rin's question. Rin looked down feeling sad. Why was Sesshoumaru-sama mad at her what had she done? Around dusk they stopped to make camp and like always Sesshoumaru vanished.
"Master Jaken?"
"Yes, what is it Rin?" The toad asked.
"Why is Lord Sesshoumaru mad at me? What did I do? Where are we going?"
"Lord Sesshoumaru is mad at you because you never stop asking questions. I do not know where we are going.
-----------------
The Next morning Sesshoumaru returns and with him is a young woman, about twenty-four. Rin looks from the Sesshoumaru to the woman realizing what it all means. Sesshoumaru motions to Jaken who comes bring Ah-Un with him. As they leave Jaken looks back over his shoulder and sees the tears that are falling down Rin's face. Poor Rin, he thinks.
Rin watches as Sesshoumaru and Jaken leave her and the woman alone in the clearing.
"Hello Rin. My name is Nami I'll be taking care of you from now on. Come along," the Nami says holding out her hand to Rin, "my village is close by it won't take us long to reach it."
Rin nods her head at what Nami says and takes the hand that is offered to her. She is still crying as she and Nami begin their walk to Nami's village and her new home.
