Ch 4: Rin's New Playmate

"So, how's your afterlife?"

The statue stood still.

"That bad, huh?" Sesshomaru's ward Rin asked. She was playing in the castle courtyard.

A rustling sound caught Rin's ears. A loud yelp preceeded something in blue crashing to the ground. Rin ran out to the something.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Out of the pile of leaves popped a female dragon demon. She was adorned mostly in blue, minus a few multicolored balls hanging from her blue hair.

"Hi!" the demon said.

"Hi!" Rin said back.

"I'm ParaPara!"

"I'm Rin!"

"Wanna play?"

Sesshomaru led the recovering Kagome through his courtyard to find a giggling Rin looking in bushes and under trees.

"What are you doing, Rin?"

"Looking for my friend. We're playing hide and seek."

A giggle came from the tree top nearest Sesshomaru. He reached up and lifted ParaPara down.

"Hey! You cheated!"
