"I'm back to the place I started my life in," Rin said, looking at all the trees, grass, and flowers that surrounded herself.
"Sit boy!" A thump was heard nearby, Rin could hear.
"Sit boy? Ohh, Kagome-chan must be with Inuyasha-san," Rin said. She waked quietly to the place where she heard the familiar voice of Kagome.
"Nani?! Why- SIT!" Inuyasha fell face first into the ground again. Rin sighed and left.
"I guess I could try to find Sesshomaru-sama..." Rin told herself. She walked around, away from Kagome and Inuyasha, careful not to be noticed.
"Kagome-chan! You're back!" Rin was curious at who the voice belonged to and looked back at Kagome. It was the monk Miroku with Sango, Kirara, and Shippou.
"I'll let them have their reunion while I find Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said and left. She walked around the familiar trails, trails that she always loved crossing.
"Jaken, hush. You got what you deserved and now it's a thing of the past. So forget about it already."
"But Lord Sesshomaru- Jaken, hush." Rin smiled when she heard her lord and friend's voice again. She looked from behind the tree she was and saw Sesshomaru and Jaken leaning against a tree.
"How shall I approach them? Or will I approach them at all? Will they remember me or will they think I'm just a human girl at the wrong place and messing with the wrong people?" Rin thought to herself. "Don't knock it until you try it, Rin."
"Ohayo!" Rin said, walking out of the bush. Sesshomaru and Jaken stared at her.
"Nani?! Why are you here?!" Jaken said, in a fighting stance. Sesshomaru stood up. He didn't change from the day Rin left.
"I agree with Jaken. Why is a human girl here?" Sesshomaru asked in his dark voice.
"Don't you guys recognize me?" Rin asked innocently.
"And who might you be?" Sesshomaru asked her in a cold voice.
"Rin," she answered.
"Nonsense! Our Rin left us fourteen years ago! You're just- Jaken, hush. I think this is Rin," he said, silencing Jaken.
"Don't you guys recognize me?" Rin asked again. Sesshomaru took a good look at her. Rin's body had matured more and she got taller, along with her hair getting longer.
"This is the one question only Rin could answer," Sesshomaru said. Rin looked on.
"Hai?"
"Why did I send Rin or you away?"
"Because you had told me that you and Jaken-san were going to the dangerous parts here and you didn't want to lose me, so you sent me with Kagome-chan and she took me back to her era," Rin answered. Jaken stared at her in disbelief.
"Sesshomaru, is this-?" Sesshomaru nodded slowly.
"Hai Jaken. This is Rin." Sesshomaru couldn't stop looking at her body and her. She really had changed over the years. But how he knew it was Rin the minute she told them, he had pictured her smaller and wearing the orange kimono Rin had worn so long ago.
"This- No! It-it can't be! This- Jaken, for the last time, hush. This is our Rin," Sesshomaru said. Rin smiled and hugged Sesshomaru, shocking him a bit.
"I knew you would know it was me, Sesshomaru-sama!" she said, giggling. Sesshomaru let Rin continue to hug him as Jaken watched in awe.
"Rin, how did you- Where did- Did you-?" Jaken asked in non finished questions. He was confused and surprised.
"And now I'm almost as tall as you, Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin said. It was true. Sesshomaru was able to look down at her a bit and she was able to look up at him, but just barely. If Rin was about four inches taller now, she would be eye-level with Sesshomaru.
"Hmm..." Jaken said, trailing off.
"Rin..." Sesshomaru said quietly.
"Huh? Is something wrong, Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked worridly.
"It's just that... How did... Where did... Why did you come back to see us?" he finally asked.
"I missed you both, she said, bending down to hug Jaken. "And don't think that I forgot about you, Jaken-san." Sesshomaru turned away, a bit embarrassed to see Rin's bottom waving in front of him.
"Oh, how I missed you both!" Rin said. "And Kagome-chan came to see Inuyasha-san too!" Rin announced.
"Oh..." Sesshomaru said. "Uh... I hope she knows now that Inuyasha is with Kikyo-chan now," he said.
"He's with Kikyo-chan? I did miss a lot here," she said in a sad voice. He nodded.
"Ever since Kagome-chan left, Kikyo-chan was been around Inuyasha, just like when they were both younger," Sesshomaru said. Rin grinned mischievously. "Nani?"
"Is Kagura-chan your girlfriend, Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked innocently, but playfully.
"No. If she was the last woman in the universe, I'd start going with an animal," Sesshomaru said disgustedly. Rin giggled.
"Then who is your girlfriend?"
"I don't have one..."
"Nani?! I've been gone for fourteen years and you don't have a girlfriend? You need one!"
"Well, actually I've been waiting for the right girl..."
"I hope she comes along soon, or I'll have to find you one!"
"Maybe..." Jaken watched these two talk and sighed.
"I feel left out now. Lord Sesshomaru, I'm going back to my village," Jaken said. Rin looked at him with sad eyes.
"Do you have to leave so soon?" she asked.
"Hai." Rin bent down again and hugged him.
"Bye Jaken-san..." Rin said as the little frog demon left.
Back at Kagome and Inuyasha...
"NANI?! ARE YOU WITH KIKYO-CHAN NOW?!"
"Kagome-chan, you were gone for fourteen years, not visiting once. I can see why Inuyasha-san is with another woman," Miroku said.
"Shut it wench! You were gone for a long, long time and I thought you'd never be back. And besides, Kikyo-chan was always with me, so we- SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha fell face first into the ground and kept hitting the ground.
"Inuyasha-san! Are you alright?" A voice was heard from the bushes. Kagome growled and turned.
"You..." Kikyo came out from the bushes, holding a sleeping girl with a small boy following.
"Uncle Miroku! Auntie Sango!" the little boy said, running over to Sango and Miroku.
"Ohayo, Huji-san!" Sango said, picking up with little boy.
"Huji?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha took Huji out of Sango's hand and held him, smiling.
"Don't forget Minaa," Kikyo said, holding up the now awake girl. Inuyasha put down Huji and took Minaa from Kikyo.
"Kagome-chan, these are my children," Inuyasha said. "This is Huji," he said, giving Minaa to Miroku and holding up Huji. Huji had silver hair, just like Inuyasha's, but he had a smiling face. Inuyasha put him down and picked up Minaa. "And this is Minaa." Minaa had long black hair like Kikyo's and had dog ears.
"Oh, wait! Sango-chan..." Miroku said. Sango giggled.
"Shippou-chan, please hand me Wakiyan." The now bigger fox demon handed a little boy with short black hair to Sango.
"This is our son, Wakiyan," Miroku said proudly. Kagome noticed Sango's belly was a bit big.
"And Sango, are you pregnant?" She nodded.
"Oh great!" Kagome exclaimed, her eyes focused on Wakiyan. "And you look like your dad. Just please don't act like him."
Back at Rin and Sesshomaru...
"Really now?" Sesshomaru said. Rin had been telling him about what her life had been like when she was with Kagome and Sota.
"But the main thing on my mind when I was with her was you and Jaken-san," Rin said. "I couldn't stop thinking about you guys and how much I missed you both."
"Really?" Sesshomaru asked. He had hoped that she really had missed them, just as he missed her smiling face when she was younger.
"Hai!"
"And Rin..."
"Hai?"
"I just wanted to say that you've changed a lot since you left."
"Arigatou."
"It's just that... you're not the little five year old girl that I once knew. You're a matured nineteen year old lady now, a miko," he said. "And if anything, if you stay, then I'll have to be extra careful because of the pervs that buy and sell mikos like you and Kagome for... pleasure," Sesshomaru said.
"I wonder..."
"Nani? Is something wrong Rin?" Rin stood up.
"I'm going to find Kagome and ask her something."
"Nani? What's your question?"
"If I can stay here or not with you." And she was gone.
