Chapter 3: Shippo and Rin
"My name is Rin" said the girl.
"...Rin? It's really you!" Shippo ran to Rin.
"Shippo!" Rin yelled running to Shippo. They both ran to each other and gave each other a hug.
"I haven't seen you in at least seven years!" Shippo shouted.
"Yeah, I can't believe it's you!" Rin exclaimed.
"So how come you're here, Sesshomaru's castle is pretty far from here." Shippo pointed out.
"I don't live there anymore." Rin replied.
"Really, why not?" Shippo asked.
"Well, being with Sesshomaru was great, but as I grew up, I felt as if I was depending on Sesshomaru's protection too much. I decided I needed to learn how to defend myself.
"So what do you do now?" Shippo asked.
"I'm a demon slayer now." said Rin.
Flashback
"When I was a kid...it felt as if I feared humans more than demons...probably because my parents, and brother were killed by bandits...but now I see that not all humans are like that. Most are actually quite helpful, and they try to help a hand to who ever they can. I want to become something that would help people, protect others. I want to become a demon slayer."Rin thought and said, "Ah-Un, please take me to the Demon Slayers village." Ah-Un nodded, and flew off.
After about half of the day, Rin arrived at the Demon Slayers village. "Okay Ah-Un, we're here." Ah-Un flew down, and into the village. "Let's stop by the big hut, I'm sure that were the demon slayer lives." Ah-Un did as she said, and landed near the biggest hut in the village. Little did they know, there were other demon slayers that were watching the girl on the two headed demon. Some of the demon slayers stood out of their homes, looking like they were ready to attack the two headed demon.
"What brings you to this village girl?" one of the slayers demanded.
"I'm just here to see the demon slayer known as Sango." Rin told the demon slayer.
"What business do you have with Lady Sango?" another slayer demanded.
"Everyone, it's fine, she's not here to fight." Sango said, walking out of the bigger hut. All of the demon slayers stood down. Miroku then stood out of the hut holding onto what seemed a two year old child. Rin turned around to face the demon slayer, and the monk holding on to his child.
"Hello, my name is Rin, you're the demon slayer that traveled with Lord Sesshomaru's brother, Sango aren't you?" Rin asked.
"Yes," Sango replied, "I am Sango, I am the head demon slayer of the village. This is my husband, Miroku, he also traveled with Inuyasha."
"I am honored to meet you." Rin said bowing her head.
"You are that girl that traveled with Sesshomaru, correct?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, I did when I was younger." Rin told them.
"What brings you to the demon slayers village?" Sango asked.
"I want to become a demon slayer." Rin replied.
"You want to become a demon slayer, why is that Rin?" Sango asked.
"I need to learn to defend myself, I believe I rely on Lord Sesshomaru too much for his protection. I want to learn how to defend myself, and I would also like to help other people in other villages." Rin explained.
"Those are all good reasons, but I'm suprised Sesshomaru is letting you do this, especially at your age." Sango said.
"I may still be young, but even as young as I am, I would still need to learn to defend myself. I also once met a boy named Kohaku when I was younger, he looked to also be a demon slayer.
"Did you say...Kohaku?" Sango asked in suprise.
"Yeah, I met him when I was kidnapped by Kagura once time." Rin told her.
"I think you should train her Sango." Miroku complied, "It seems like she would be in need of training if she were to travel on her own."
"I guess you're right." Sango said, "Rin you may train with the rest of the villagers under my teachings."
"Thank you Sango sensei!" Rin cheerfully said.
"We will have to set you up with a room if you are going to be staying here training." Sango said.
"Right." Rin replied.
End Flashback
"And for the next four years," Rin explained, "Sango sensei taught me the ways of demon slaying, how to defend myself, and helped me become stronger. She also taught me of different kinds of poison that can affect demons. Now I travel the lands, waiting if there is ever to be needed help from a demon slayer such as me." Rin pulled out her sword, "This is my weapon, a sword made from the remains of a demon that once tried to attack the demon slayers village."
"Wow thats really neat." Shippo said, pulling out his katana, "I just use this ordinary katana. I encompass the blade with my own fox fire, and that is how I am able to use this sword as a weapon that can pierce through demons."
"That's pretty neat." Rin complimented.
"I guess for now it is an acceptable weapon. Inuyasha told me that one day he would create a sword for me, incase I happen to run into a demon that was of great demonic ora." Shippo explained.
"Lord Sesshomaru said one day he would have a sword created that would be fit for me to use." Rin said.
"Seems like we are just two of a kind." said Shippo.
"Yep, seems like it." replied Rin
"I take it you were here to slay the demon that was here huh?" asked Shippo.
"Yeah, but a certain fox demon seemed to have beat me here." Rin joked
"Hehe..." Shippo replied.
"But as long as these people were safe, then that's fine with me." said Rin.
"Young miss, would you like something to eat?" asked the elder.
"I would be grateful, thank you." replied Rin. Shippo and Rin continued to eat there meal. Shippo started to tell the elder of the first day they met.
Flashback
"Why should I be the one to stay behind?" complained Shippo
"Quit complaining and just stay here..." Inuyasha said, "today is the day we are going to kill that bastard Naraku, I am able to sniff him out now, so it';; be easy!"
"We don't want you hurt either Shippo. Just stay here with Kaeda and explore near the village if you want." Kagome said.
"Yes, now we shall be on our way now shall we?" Miroku asked.
"Let's go everyone." Sango said.
"Finally, today's the day we destroy Naraku!" Inuyasha exclaimed. Kagome hopped on Inuyashas back; Sango and Miroku hopped on Kirara, and they began to track down Naraku. Shippo waved, "Just be careful." Shippo says softly, "Kaede I'm going to go around the village now."
"Alright, ye have fun Shippo." Kaede says.
"I'm going to go see if theres any flowers around here to bring back for Kagome." Shippo thought Shippo began to walk out of the village, entering Inuyasha Forest. He walked in the forest for a few minutes, searching, and sniffing for any kind of flowers, and came upon the sacred tree.
"There's not alot of flowers in this forest."Shippo thought. The little fox demon then started to feel a bit sleepy, and yawned, "I feel a little tired." he said to himself. Shippo sat up again the sacred tree, as his eyelids suddenly became heavy, and was soon asleep. He slowly opened his eyes about an hour later, he yawned and then he stretched, he felt something against his left side. He looked over to his left side, "AH!" Shippo jumped.
"Hm?" The girl yawned. "Oh you're awake. Rin was wondering why you were sleeping."
"Are you Rin?" asked Shippo.
"Rin is Rin," she replied, "Rin wants to know what your name is."
"My name is Shippo, I'm a fox demon." he said
"Shippo's a demon?" she asked
"Yeah," Shippo said, "but I won't hurt you." Shippo looked around, "Where'd she go?" Then he felt something on his tail.
"Ooooh," Rin said, rubbing her head on his tail, "this feels good." Shippo began to blush
"Uh, I was just looking for flowers, do you know where any are?" Shippo asked
"Rin knows where flowers are." Rin answered.
"Really, can you show me?" he asked
"Rin would be happy to" she said grabbing his hand, "Is shippo ok Shippo's face is red."
"What, y-yeah I'm fine." he studdered. After a few minutes of walking, they finally reached an enormous flower field. "Wow, there's alot of flowers here!" Shippo exclaimed
"Rin come's here all the time to pick flowers." she told him.
"They're beautiful." he said Shippo begins to pick out some different kinds of flowers. "This should be enough flowers. I hope Kagome like's them." Shippo walks over to Rin, and taps her on the shoulder.
"Yes Shippo?" she said. Shippo hands over a flower with a big yellow pedals to Rin. Now Rin began to blush, "What's this for?"
"Thanks for showing me where to get flowers, that was really kind of you." Shippo said.
"Shippo's really sweet." she said. She bent down on her knees and hugged Shippo, "Shippo, and Rin friends?"
"Yeah." Shippo replied, hugging her back.
End Flashback
"So that was the first day you met when you were kids?" asked the elder.
"Yep." they both replied.
"After that day, was the last time I saw Shippo." she said
"I went back to the Flower field a few times since then, to pick flowers for Kagome." Shippo said.
"I'm sorry Shippo, If only I was there, we could of stayed in touch." Rin said drooping her head down.
"It's ok. I stopped going after awhile just to hang out with my brother and sister." Shippo said.
"I never knew you had syblings Shippo." said Rin.
"Well that's what I think of them as, I always thought of Kagome as kind of my mom, and Inuyasha my dad." Shippo said.
"We're alot of the same Shippo. We both left to travel around the coutryside, trying to help others, and learn survial tactics as we go on, and we both are also demon slayers.
"Yeah, Shippo said, "we are alot alike aren't we?"
"It seems as if the sun went down, why don't I show you two to your room.
"Thank you elder." Shippo said.
"That would be lovely." Rin said.
Shippo and Rin start to look at each other and begin to blush.
"Did you say our room?" Shippo asked.
"I only got one spare room, you two will have to share it. Don't worry about, there's nothing wrong with sharing a room." said the elder
"I guess, it'll be ok..." Rin said.
"Yeah, just fine..." Shippo said.
"Alright then, this way please." the elder says, leading them to their room. "Here you go, there's blankets over there in the corner to use, good night."
"Good night." Shippo and Rin said. Rin goes over to the corner, and see's only one blanket.
"Hmmm...how will we do this?" said Rin
"Huh?" Shippo said.
"There's only one blanket..." she said.
"I can use that, you can use this, you'll be more comfortable." Shippo says, pulling and opening his sleeping bag.
"Where did you get this?" Rin asked.
"Kagome gave it to me." Shippo replied.
"That's so sweet Shippo, always looking out for others." She lightly blushed
"Heh heh..." Shippo blushed.
"Will you be ok with just a blanket?" she asked
"Yeah, I can sleep sitting up, all I need is a blanket" he said, sitting against the wall, and covering up with the blanket, "Good night Rin..." he yawned and closing his eyes. He felt something against his right side, and opened his eyes to see Rin laying up to him.
"I thought...uh, I would try this with you." she said blushing.
"Is that so?" Shippo said, hiding his own small pinkish stream across his face.
"Maybe..." Rin said, covering herself with his sleeping bag, and resting her head on his shoulder, "Good night Shippo." Shippo looked down at the girl, resting her head on his shoulder, showing a small smile.
"Good night Rin." he said.
