Chapter Two: Identity

Everyone's mouth dropped at who they were seeing... She had grown up a lot, but they recognized her. "RIN!" they all said in unison.

The priestess looked taken aback "Rin?" she repeated "Who is that?" The group all turned to look at Sesshomaru, who was visibly stunned for a few seconds and then turned back to his normal cold face. The others gave him curious looks, but Kikyo immediately understood. "Nothing," Kikyo said "Miss Sakura, you look like someone we knew."

Leanne smiled "These are people that wanted to meet you; they said they wanted to know if you had any of the shards of the shikon no tama or knew anything about it." "I'm afraid I don't nor do I know anything about it," Sakura said smiling.

After that the gang split up Sakura, Leanne, and Kikyo went shopping for clothes. Sango and Kagome took a tour of Sakura's gigantic house, and took showers. Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha wandered off somewhere to talk. Miroku went off without a word (to flirt obviously though thankfully Sango didn't know.) Shippo and Kirara took naps outside, under a big oak tree.

Shopping for the three girls were going quite well, they'd all picked out some beautiful kimonos that Sakura insisted on buying for them. Abruptly Kikyo stopped and said: "I sense jewel shards!" "We better find the others then," Leanne put in quickly. They were just in luck, because just then Sakura said "look," pointing to Miroku. "MIROKU!" the girls yelled. They alerted the perverted monk of the situation. The foursome headed towards the location of the jewel shards.

The same event was happening with Sango and Kagome. Kagome said she sensed a jewel shard and they went to find the others. Thankfully they found Shippo and Kirara. They all headed to the location were Kagome sensed the jewel shards.

Meanwhile Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru were deep in conversation, in the middle of a forest that was near the town. "Why aren't you telling her?" Inu Yasha asked his half brother. "None of your concern half-breed," Sesshomaru sneered.

Inu Yasha glared until the lord of the west finally sighed gave in. "She's happier here," he said "that is enough for-" "Save the speech for someone that cared!" Inu Yasha snarled "Stop deciding her fate she has a RIGHT to know!" Sesshomaru was stunned by Inu Yasha sudden involvement in his life.

"AND," Inu Yasha began again "Do you remember when those monks took Rin. She called out YOUR name! She didn't want to go with the other children!!" Inu Yasha looked like he was going to continue, but stopped suddenly.

"Do you smell that?" Inu Yasha asked worriedly. "I hope not...for his sake" his brother said angrily. They headed towards were the smell was coming from; a deeper part of the forest. They met Kagome, Kikyo and the others.

"Inu Yasha," Kagome said urgently "there are jewel shards here!" "That's not all," Kikyo added; she was white with fury "I sense-" She was cut off by another's voice.

"Lord Sesshomaru!!" a voice came from below. Leanne screamed, Sakura pointed her arrow at it.

She had gone to her house and gotten her things. She now had a bow and arrow as well as a sword, and was dressed in priestess clothing. Her hair was in a pony-tail.

The green creature was followed by a dragon-like creature. They both gaped at the figure. "RIN!" Jaken said "Where have you been girl? Do you know how much lord Sesshomaru was worried about-" He was cut off when Sesshomaru hit him on the head.

"Looks like the gangs all here!" said a female voice from above. They looked up... "KAGURA YOU WENCH!" Inu Yasha said in a disgusted voice.

"That's rich coming from you half breed!" the female wind demon retorted in just a disgusted tone as Inu Yasha.

There was the red eyed demon riding her feather. Their attention turned to the child next to her, who they knew from experience was much more dangerous. "Kikyo," the white haired boy said "so you're still alive?"

"Shut up you brat!" Kikyo said firing an arrow at him that he dodged, but not before it could do some damage to his shield. At this the undead priestess smiled.

Hakudoshi and Kagura went in different directions. "Sango, Kirara," Inu Yasha said "take care of that witch: Kagura. Kikyo go with Miroku after that brat Hakudoshi, since you're the only one that can do any damage to his barrier.

"Kagome come with me we're going to get those jewel shards in the east. Sesshomaru and Sakura go after the shards in the west. Jaken, Leanne and Ah-Un go to the village and make sure everyone gets away safely. Leanne knows about everyone in the village and they'll listen to her. Plus we don't want anyone dying here.

Everyone went on there separate ways. Inu Yasha, Kikyo, and Sesshomaru were the only ones that knew who was really behind this, and they were furious about it.
