Enter Rin-Chan

II

"He couldn't just answer my question," she muttered under her breath. "When my lord finds out about this he's going to be really upset. Hopefully he goes easy on him this time." She wanted to hum, sing, dance so badly, but she was alone and she knew it would only bring more attention to herself. It wasn't too lonely traveling in silence after all. Traveling with a full demon she learned to pay more attention to her surroundings, forage for herself, find and make camp for herself over the last couple of years since her revival.

Stopping a moment and listening carefully to living forest she picked up on running water off to the left of her. She picked up her pace as the sound grew closer, but began to hesitate when she heard voices overlapping each other. Crouching low and pressing herself against the bark of the tree she waited until the owners of the voices grew closer. She would wait. She didn't have a choice. Quietly and quickly she spread her fingers across the soil beneath her and carefully rubbed some soil across her face, neck, and front of her clothing. She couldn't hide her scent like a demon could, but she could blend in and throw off their nose with the earth around her.

"Sit." Her heart felt like it was going to beat right out of her chest when the word registered. A large grin spread across her face and she broke free from the cover of the forest and laughed in delight as the sight of Kagome with her back straight and arms crossed came into view as she glared down at the hanyou inside the new formed crater.

"KAGOME!" she shouted catching her attention as she wrapped her head around her waist. She felt the women go rigid as her eyes opened and quickly darted down to meet her. "Hi!"

If it was even possible her smile grew wider as recognition glazed over the young womens eyes and watched her arms uncross to return her hug.

"Rin-chan! How are you?" she asked while pursing her lips and looking around. "Seems like you're alone." She could feel it when she giggled finally and completely taking in her appearance. "Seems like someone needs a wash too."

"Master Jaken wouldn't help Rin so I had to go off on my own, but then I guess I wandered off too far, but now I found Kagome so now I don't have to worry," stated as a matter of fact. She released her hold around her waist and grabbed a hold of her right hand to hold. "Can Rin stay until Master Sesshomaru comes for Rin?"

"NO!" Inuyasha yelled jumping up from his face plant into the ground. "She was fine before then she will be fine without us. I don't want that prick coming around!"

"Sit, please. You shouldn't have been rude, she is just a child" She grumbled and granted Rin a smile. "Of course you can stay with us. I'm actually glad that you are here. Your presence has been missed."

In the background she could hear Lord Sesshomaru's younger brother muttering to himself while still under the force of the spell.

If it was possible her spirit brightened further. Brown eyes sparkled when they finally caught sight of emerald pools peeking from under Kagome's hair. "Shippo-kun, Rin is happy to see you!"

"H-hey Rin-chan. It is good to see you too," she giggled at the reddening of his cheeks that reached the point of his ears. "Would you like to play later?"

"Rin would love that Shippo-kun."

"Oh shippo do you have a fever? You seem a bit red," the young monk humored poking at the young demon's check causing the kit's blush to turn a darker shad of red as he batted the offending finger away.

Sango chuckled shaking her head at the monks antics as she ran her fingers gently across Kirara's back while she dozed in her arms. The neko yokai purred in delight at her mistress's menstruation as she listened to the humans in the background.

Grumbling as he lifted himself out of the crater, dusted of his fire rat, and proceeded to walk on ahead knowing that they would eventually begin to follow. His ears twitched towards the sounds of their steps as the fell into rhythm. The kid was here and there would be no getting rid of her which meant his asshole of a brother would here soon enough.
