Rin lay back on her mattress as she searched through the net for things she likes. She made a note to ask Inu no Tashio to let her go to home depot and Lowes at some point this weekend. Izzy had gone to work a few hours ago telling rin to text or email her if she needed anything. She looked at her cart from Nightmare Wonderland Furnishings.
The Wishing Tree bed frame, was there among other items such as Wicked Stepmothers Vanity, (idea from Snow White)which was a beautiful vanity made of black iron with black sparkles and twisting iron vines with thorns and pained red roses with red sparkles. The Nightmare Wardrobe was a dark cherry wood wardrobe with scarlet red and royal purple swirls that, to Rin, made the image of evil red and purple flames, Black Forest Desk was a desk of black wood with dead looking trees all around the edge except for where you could slide The Dark Wizards Chair in and sit. It had a few drawers that would only open when you did the right combination with the handles, and none of the drawers could be open at the same time as another. The Dark Wizards Chair looked like a throne of black wood, red and purple swirl cushions, and silver swirls over the wood near the top of the chair the wood twisted to make a hollow spherical space which was taken up by a dark purple crystal ball.
Rin was just about to exit the site when she saw a tab named Enchantments. Curiously she clicked on it. On the page were small trinkets with explanations along the bottom describing what that certain enchantment did. There was a small 5 pointed star that sparkled silver, Wishing upon a Star it was an enchantment to make the constellations appear on the ceiling of the room in which the charm was placed in.
Another one was called Winter Lullaby it was a snowflake charm that made snowflakes fall from the ceiling and disappear about a foot from the carpet, the snowflakes were only cold when the person in possession of the charm wanted them to be.
There were other charms as well, seashell shaped ones that made the room smell like the beach, another one similar in shape only to give off the sound of the oceans waves throughout the room. A bat shaped one that made it sound like the sounds of night in the room. Rin put a few into the cart and paid for them with the credit card she was given earlier.
Rin and izzy had shopped and paid for undergarments earlier before izzy had to go to work, so those were taken care of. Rin reached over for her flash drive plugging it into the laptop as she lay on her stomach. When the laptop opened the flash drive all there was were videos and pictures. She clicked on the last video in the drive.
It opened up to show her father, his light hair catching the light from the lamp behind him. He was sitting in his large brown leather chair, as he always had when he was alive. Rin remembered it always had his musky scent. He looked up from the children's book he was reading and smiled at the camera.
Rin smiled sadly and listened as her father spoke to her mother, unaware of the gold, brown and purple eyes on her. Her father reached out and took the camera twisting it around to show her mother with a large baby bump. The dark haired beauty smiled at the camera, her hot chocolate colored eyes sparkling with happiness as she rubs the swell of her belly. She hears her father's voice. "Would you like to tell us viewers what the sex of the baby is? Another beautiful little girl or a handsome devil of a boy?" they both laughed.
Her mother straightens and gives the camera a movie-star smile. "I am happy to say, they we are going to be having a little boy!" she squeals happily as the camera is set down. A moment later her father appears in the picture, his hands on the baby swell and nose in the crook of her mother's neck.
The sound of the door opening interrupts the moment. Little rin walks into the room holding a thick black book. Her long hair braided in Wednesday Adams braids falling over her shoulders and falling to her waist. "Why is there so much noise? I can't concentrate on my book." She holds up the thick chapter book.
"Honey your going to have a little brother!" her mother cries to little rin. She smiles. "That's good mom, but it doesn't really matter until he's born does it?" she gives her mother a teasing look. "We're naming him Hotaru Draco Cispela." Little Rin's head snapped up. "Really?" her mother nodded her head and rin squealed happily.
The video ends and rin exits out of the window and writes on the notebook she kept close by. After a moment she holds it up so the people at the door can read it. You done watching me yet? Everyone gave awkward noises in response as rin looks up at them. "We have another lesson. Hurry up." Sesshomaru states from the back of the mini crowd, then turns and stalks down the hallway. Rin climbs off her bed and goes to follow. "You used to be able to talk?" Miroku, Sango, kagome and Inuyasha cried in surprise. "Of course she did you bumbling idiot. Are you all coming or what?" called Sesshomaru over his shoulder.
A few minutes later they are all standing in the backyard. More like a freaking courtyard, but it was a huge yard at the back of the mansion. Sesshomaru and Inu no Tashio recited the spell to take them to the feudal era. "Now the work and training begins." Chuckled Inu no Tashio.
"Sango and Inuyasha come with me, we'll work on weapons. Sesshomaru work with the others on plants and whatever else." He waved his hand and headed off with the two fighters.
Miroku and kagome sat down as Sesshomaru disappeared for a moment. Rin left those two alone and sat at the base of the cherry blossom tree looking up into the branches.
Sesshomaru arrived back with a bagful of plants and a book. "Hey I thought you were going to teach us, not make us read!" cried Miroku, Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at him. "Unless you want to learn about these plants by eating them?" Miroku shut up. "Where's the other human?" kagome looked up from the book and shrugged her shoulders.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and searched for her scent, the cherry blossom scent didn't work, nor did the cherry scent, and he found the salt water scent and followed it over the hill. In the middle of a patch of cherry blossom sat rin, small and dark compared to the bright pink flowers.
Sesshomaru stood behind her until she wrote on the paper in her hands. I'm starting to think you're stalking me with how often you wind up behind me just observing. Sesshomaru sat down a few feet away. "The others are back learning about plants. You might want to join them." I've already learned about plants, no need to relearn something. Anyways I'm going to attempt to work on my other abilities. "You can do that with the others." Rin smiled and shook her head.
I can't learn as well if there are people around to distract me. Sesshomaru nodded. "I can understand that. Especially with those idiots." Rin stared at Sesshomaru for a few moments. Is there a spell that prevents people from entering ones memories? Sesshomaru raised a sleek eyebrow. "Why would you need a spell like that?"
Rin shook her head. To keep snoopers like you out of my mind and memories. "How did you know?" his golden eyes attempted to read her. You weren't surprised by me being able to talk, and I saw you. "You were awake?" his eyes narrowed, she shook her head. I saw you in my memories, where you never were, and didn't belong. He observed her for a moment. "You're higher than I first thought girl."
She shook her head, he raised an eyebrow again. My name is Rin, not girl. Not human, not bumbling idiot. It's Rin. Her visible eye was hard with determination. After a moment Sesshomaru bowed his head slightly. "Fine… Rin." She smiled at him. The moment was short lived, because a male cry was heard a minute later. Sesshomaru scoffed. "He must have been stupid enough to not be able to distinguish regular vines from poison ivy." He chuckled and stood, with rin following suite and running over the hill towards a pitying sight of Miroku, and a kagome, Sango, Inu no Tashio, and Inuyasha barely holding laughter in.
Kagome found a healing plant and rubbed it all over Miroku's skin where the poison ivy had been. Inuyasha was walking around looking bored. "I'm hungry!" he growled irritated. "Me too." All the others added as an afterthought. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha. "Then go catch something and then here's a challenge for you."
Inuyasha scoffs. "Bring it on fluffy!" Sesshomaru's eyes sparkled a bit. "Don't kill the creature, just bring it back." Inuyasha gave him a dumbfounded look. "How are we going to eat it if it's still alive?"
"We will eat it, after we see if the purple idiot can do something right." Inu no Tashio laughed and nodded at his eldest. "Good idea Sesshomaru." He nodded to Inuyasha and Sango to get going while the others built a fire. Inu no Tashio and Sesshomaru sat back to see if any of the other children could figure the art out.
"It isn't working come help us!" cried Miroku after many failed attempts. Kagome was glaring at the pile of sticks with hatred. "No you have to learn and have survival skills." Sesshomaru smirked at them. Finally kagome lost it. "WILL YOU FREAKING LIGHT ALREADY?" she slammed her fists into the ground right infront of the sticks, a second later all of the sticks were on fire. She yelped and jumped back in shock.
Inu no Tashio laughed lightly. "Looks like we found our fire elemental." Kagome stared at them with wide eyes as Sango and Inuyasha walked out of the trees with a squirming bag slung over Inuyasha shoulder. "I thought only rin could control an element." Inu no Tashio smiled. "Oh did we forget to mention that each of you is an element?" Miroku sent them a confused look. "There's only four elements. Water, fire, earth and air." Sesshomaru scoffed. "Actually there are so much more than that. Along with those four there is also spirit, light, shadows, metal, and rhythm." Everyone looked at him as if he were crazy. But he gave no further explanation.
"It is most likely that you all have some control over two elements and one of you will have control over all of the elements." Inu no Tashio said before turning his attention to Sango and Inuyasha. "Bring the animal over here." They obeyed. He beckoned Miroku over and pulled from the bag…. A bunny.
Inu no Tashio bit back a smile and Miroku gave a confused look. "This is the first animal you might be able to turn into." He explained. Much to Miroku's obvious reluctance. "Couldn't you guys have gotten a larger fiercer animal?" he asked while staring into the bunny's large yellow eyes. Inuyasha glared at him. "Yea we saw a cougar back there if you want us to go get it and bring it back alive." His voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Could you?" Miroku's purple eyes went bright. "No" Sango hit him in the head with her boomerang. "Pet the pathetic excuse of an animal." Growled Sesshomaru. "if you are going to act like a stubborn woman, would you like me to make you one?" he raised his claws tipped with green and inwardly smirked at Miroku's wide purple eyes as he instantly started petting the bunny. "N-no-o th-that-s q-qui-te a-a-lrig-ht."
After a few seconds Miroku completely froze his fingers and eyes twitching beneath closed lids, the bunny froze at the same instant. Everyone gathered closely around until Miroku was out of his trancelike state.
"Now think about the bunny, becoming the bunny." Inu no Tashio spoke, barely keeping the laughter from his voice. Miroku obeyed. To anyone who had sharp eyes (Sesshomaru, Sango, rin and Inu no Tashio) Miroku began shrinking, and shrinking, and shrinking until he disappeared into his robes. "m-Miroku?" kagome gasped. There was twitching in the robes.
First long dark ears popped out, then a bunny head, though with Miroku's purple eyes instead of the yellow eyes of the bunny still in Inu no Tashio's grasp. "He can do something, mostly right." Sesshomaru spoke boredly. Miroku's bunny nose twitched. Sango knelt down and picked him up setting him on her chest so she could pet him. Before rin could write that that wasn't such a good idea, Miroku proved her suspicions, and hopped down her shirt.
Sango cried out in surprise and pulled him out "even as a cute little creature your still a pervert!" she tossed him aside and he morphed back into a human, but completely naked. Sango and kagome squealed and turned away quickly. Rin shrugged and looked at the squealing girls. Inuyasha tossed Miroku his robes. "No one wants to see that!"
"when you morph into an animal your clothing will either slip off if the animal is smaller than you, or it will rip if the animal is larger than you, I suggest wearing something skin tight beneath your clothing at all times if you plan to become an animal often." Sesshomaru advised.
Miroku nodded as he pulled his robes on. When he was decent he stated so to the girls who looked back with bright red faces, except rin who looked bored as she watched the flames. Inu no Tashio killed the bunny, skinned it and let it cook. Kagome was a little ways away so as not to see all of that.
When it was done, he called everyone over and handed then a stick each full of bunny meat. And told them to dig in.
After everyone had finished Inu no Tashio clapped his hands. "Alright, back to work!"
