Chapter 5: Meeting

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Rin looked around the small hut she was in. "Miss Kaede, I'm bored," she

complained. "There's nothing to do here."

Kaede looked up from her cooking, "Go play with Shippo," she suggested.

"Shippo went to go see Inuyasha," Rin said slumping down. A few seconds after

she said that, Shippo came rushing in the hut.

"There's a strange thing right outside the village!" Shippo shouted. Rin looked at

him. Was he telling the truth, or was this a trick? You never could tell with Shippo.

"Um, okay. I'll go see too," Rin said. She rushed over to Shippo. "It's so boring

here. Take me to this, this, thing you were talking about."

"Okay, if you're sure," Shippo said cautiously, "but don't come if you have a

weak heart."

Rin and Shippo walked around to the spot that Shippo had seen the 'thing'. "Hey!

It's not here!" Shippo shouted.

Rin rolled her eyes. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you Shippo. There was no

'thing' here."

"But, but-" Shippo tried to explain.

"No buts Shippo. I was silly to believe you." And with that, Rin skipped back to

Kaede's village thinking of things to do. 'Maybe Inuyashey can play with me, or his lady

friend.'

Marron was fed up with this. All the villagers were staring at her. She couldn't

wait to wash off her face so people would at least know her as a human being. 'I'm never,

ever wearing makeup again,' she promised herself.

Kagome took Marron to the hot springs so she could wash her face off. It took a

long time, and Kagome had to use foul smelling homemade soap to get some of it off. 'I

am definitely not ever going to wear makeup again.'

Once her face was clean, Kagome took Marron to Kaede's hut. "You can play

with Rin and Shippo when they come back," promised Kagome. "I have to go back to my

time for two days."

Marron waited patiently for the two she was to play with. She counted the trees

outside until she heard two voices arguing.

"There was a thing out there. Just ask Inuyasha!" a boy voice shouted.

"I think I will spare myself the time," a girl's voice stated.

When the two came into the hut, Marron was surprised. The boy was half fox and

the girl had a small ponytail on the top of her head wearing a checkered kimono. Not two

things Marron saw everyday. The girl looked at her, smiled and said, "My name's Rin."

Marron smiled back. "I'm Marron."
