A/N Thanks for the reviews, I didn't expect many because Rin/Sesshoumaru is s seen as pedophile, but when you consider that when Rin is 17, he will still be like twenty in demon years why not?
Lol, anyway, thanks a lot^_^
Chapter II "A Discovered Mistake"
Rin awoke the next morning to song bird outside her window, a sure sign that spring was on its way.
She yawned and sat up, Thankful it was Saturday.
She quickly dressed in a pair of jeans and black short sleeved shirt that read simply
'Love' across the front and skipped down stairs.
Mrs.Higurashi was sitting at the small table waiting for grandpa and herself.
Rin sat down just as the old man entered, cursing under his breath about the black birds invading the shrine to pick at grain on the ground.
They ate in silence and Rin tried not to show how tired she was, she had been up all night, to the fact that her dreams had been riddled with odd happenings.
Rin stood and slowly walked towards the door.
"Rin, you have hardly touched your food….are you OK?"
Rin nodded and smiled "Just not hungry, ate a snack late last night^_^"
Mrs. Higurashi rolled her eyes and nodded "You are going to turn into a cow…"
Rin giggled and made her exit.
A thin dusting a snow covered the ground, and made the shrine look almost as enchanting as when the blossoms fell from the sacred tree.
The girl slowly walked to the well house, eyes glued to the wooden structure,
Upon entering, she felt an odd sensation surge through her small body.
She looked around suspiciously for the cause of the bursting spirit energy around her.
She squinted her eyes, and looked carefully around the dark little building.
After looking over it about five times without the feeling disappearing, she gasped as she noticed a barley visible pink glow from the side of the wooden steps.
She jumped down excitedly and surveyed the dim glow.
She gasped as she placed her hand to a crack in the wood 'It couldn't be a shard…… could it?'
Rin looked around and finding a small twig she jammed it into the crack and flung out the tiny shard.
She gasped as she picked it up; it was very small barley visible.
Rin stood and ran from the well house.
Kagome hummed lightly as she stepped out into the winter melting to spring.
She lifted a dark brown as she noticed Rin running at a break neck speed towards their house.
She gasped as the girl stopped in front of her gasping her air.
Kagome suddenly froze as a familiar feeling came over her; she looked down to see a faint glow in Rin's clasped hand.
"Ka-Kagome, I found a shard……" Rin breathed eyes wide.
Kagome bit her lower lip and escorted the distraught teen inside.
Inuyasha had taken Hitomi and Kikyou to the store, so they would be alone, except for little Sesshoumaru.
Kagome's eyes grew wide as she examined the shard.
"How?" she gasped "We completed the jewel, I know because it turned Inuyasha human.
Rin thought for a moment, "But Inuyasha does turn hanyou every new moon does he not? And what about Sesshoumaur's looks?"
Kagome looked at her and nodded "I remember!" she exclaimed after a moment.
"I lost a very tiny piece of the shard once in the well house, but couldn't detect it because all the shard energy surrounding me near the well, I was scared Inuyasha would be mad, so I eventually forgot about it…….."
"You were going to wait till you needed it." Rin said.
"Exactly, but the jewel worked without it, so of course I forgot, but I always wondered about Inuyasha being reversed like that."
They sat in silence a moment before Kagome stared at Rin curiously "How did you find it?"
Rin laughed softly "I have always had strong spirit energy, I guess traveling with Sesshoumaru, it' rubbed off on me."
"I just hope no demons or monsters come to get it" Kagome fretted, remembering all to well the large centipede that had jerked her to the other side of the well.
Silence followed the only sound the ticking of the clock, and breeze causing the house to moan slightly.
"Kagome….could I use the shard to get back to feudal Japan?" RIn spoke suddenly.
Sesshoumaru glanced around at the land below the cliff he stood on, wondering when the child would return.
Unknown to the great Demon Lord, though only a year had passed here, in her time it had been many more.
He wondered if perhaps she had found the other time more appealing.
Or that scoundrel brother of his had tried to take her in.
It was hard to not hate his brother anymore, now and then he would let a memory of their childhood pass by, Holding the child's hand as they walked through the garden, or playing tag with his little brother.
He dismissed the thoughts and slowly turned to see his green toad-like apprentice staring at the ground and pummeling a small flower, boredly with his staff.
Sesshoumaru growled; he wasn't fond of seeing the small flower being killed.
Perhaps it was Rin's little way of somewhat melting his heart.
He smacked Jaken, whom flew quite far.
"You are going where?!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed.
Rin looked at the ground and shifted the weight of her backpack "Back home." She whispered.
Mrs. Higurashi shook her head "Not another daughter!" she exclaimed "I'll be all alone!"
"Hey, what about me?" Grandpa chirped from behind.
"Like I said, I'll be all alone!" Mrs. Hirgurashi said.
Rin looked down at the ground.
"M-mom, I can never thank you enough for taking me in…….but I've never felt I belonged here……..surely you understand…"
Mrs. Hirgurahshi sighed and hugged the girl.
"I guess this day was destined to come eventually……I'm just going to miss you dear, promise you'll come visit?"
Rin nodded "I swear!"
"Well, get out of here before I tear up!" the woman said sadly swatting at Rin with her dish towel.
Rin hugged the woman tightly and ran towards the well house.
She and Kagome stood in the doorway for several minutes before looking at each other.
Rin was about to speak, when Inuyasha came running up behind them, breathlessly leaning against the wooden door frame.
Hitomi and Kikyou both looked up at their mother in curiosity.
"Kagome what is all this shard stuff Souta keeps talking about."
Kagome let out a small "eep!" before facing her husband bravely.
Rin stare at her friend "I thought you said you called him."
"Not exactly….." Kagome murmured.
It was still the same day, though late in the afternoon, and Inuyasha had returned home from the store to hear from Souta the discovery.
"Why didn't you tell me so long ago that you had missed a shard?" he asked.
Kagome looked at the ground "I didn't want you to get mad….."
Inuyasha put his arms around his small wife and laughed "You know me too well…….besides it is fun to be demon now and then…" he purred mischievously in her ear.
Rin, who had turned the shade of a cherry, slowly backed up waving her farewell.
"Say hi to Sesshoumaru for us will ya?" Inuyasha asked waving.
She nodded and turned to run towards the well, but didn't realize how close it was, and tripped falling down into the dark depths with a shriek.
"Does everybody go into that thing the same way?" Inuyasha asked nuzzling his wives cheek.
"Only those who are going to see white haired angels." She whispered.
They was about to kiss when Hitomi spoke up.
"You two!" she gasped rolling her eyes "Get a room!"
Kagome stood in surprise while Miroku peeked in just long enough to say "I did not teach her that!"
Rin gasped as the familiar floating feeling came over her.
Blue waves surrounded her and pulled her to the other side.
Rin looked up to see bright rays of sunlight dancing down into the well, and showering her face in warmth.
She slowly emerged from the old well and sighed deeply.
"I-I'm home!" she gasped falling into the soft lush grass and sighing contently.
Tears slipped down flushed cheeks as she lay, legs still propped up on the edge of the well.
The breeze blew softly, rustling his silver hair and causing something very familiar to greet his senses.
"She has finally returned." He said calmly, sniffing the air again he lifted a brow.
"Why does she smell somewhat different?"
Erm……hmmm would you call that a cliffhanger?
I know l know, short huh?
But I only have on or two chapters left for "new moons" so this and my other stories are going to be updated way more.
I love reviews, and constructive criticism is a nice thing to do, but please do not be vulgar^_^
Remember: "To be mature, is to accept imperfections."

Love you, my enemies, and my God forever,
