Chapter III "A Difference"
Her legs were still on the well, and she still lay there, absorbing all the sun she could. Rolling reluctantly to the ground, Rin stood up and inhaled deeply before making her way towards Kaede's village. Much to her surprise not much had changed at all, and she still remembered the way to the small village. The walk was very pleasant, though she took watch knowing all too well the dangers of Sengoku Jidai. When she arrived in the village, she noticed the people had not seemed to get any older; perhaps the people she saw were heirs to the other old folks. The villagers stopped their work to stop and stare at this odd girl, Rin was sure she had changed since she was last here, but the next thing that happened truly confused her. A small ball rolled into her legs, and as she bent to pick it up, she was eyes level with a boy whom looked very familiar. "May I have my ball back miss?" he asked politely. "Ninagi?" Rin questioned softly lifting a dark brow at the little boy who just nodded his head "Do you know my mommy?" Rin took a step back, when she had left Ninagi was only a child in fact they had been good friends, and here he was perhaps only aged a year if any. The boy looked at her oddly and cocked his head "Are you OK?" Rin shook her head and glanced back down at him "Do you know where Kaede- baba is?" she asked. Ninagi smiled and nodded "She went to the stream." Rin nodded and left, but then came back and giggled embarrassed "Can you take me there?" The child screamed for one of his siblings to inform their mother and took Rin's hand pulling her in a seemingly random direction. After a while Rin heard the gurgling of a familiar stream along with soft hums as woman washed their clothing. "Domon arrigatou, Ninagi!" She exclaimed bowing as the child happily ran back to his play. Kaede was gathering water in clay pots, most likely for boiling herbs. Rin gently touched her shoulder, causing the old woman to turn slowly around. Kaede had not seemed to get any older either........... The old woman looked her over for a moment before dropping the pot in her hands, causing many onlookers. Rin smiled "Konnichiha Kaede baba!^_^'"
Rin sat in Kaede's hut staring into the fire as if mystified. Kaede had explained here only one year had gone by, while on Rin's side many more. The girl was entirely confused and tired "You mean all my friends are still young enough to be my little siblings?" "Actually your children, you're quite old not to be married" Rin gave her a look "I'm only 17, in Kagome's time it is proper to get married around 20, of course people live much longer there......." Kaede just sighed and turned back to the herbs she was mixing, she stared into the bowl fro a moment before speaking "What about your lord?" She asked hesitantly, knowing the girls utter devotion to him. Rin looked up and frowned "I know he must be angry with me for not returning, he still expects a child doesn't he?" Kaede nodded and rose to get more wood "I think Lord Sesshoumaru will still be pleased with ye either way child, true I can tell he has missed ye." Rin gasped and stood up "Really? I've missed him horribly....where is he anyway?" she exclaimed being reminded of her soul purpose of returning. Kaede shook her head "I know not child, he is always coming and going." Rin smiled "He will surely pick up my scent if he is close by."
The wind swiftly brushed the mans cheek as he ran towards the village in which the scent lingered. It was definitely Rin, perhaps she had someone with her, for there was also the delicate scent of a woman's dancing along her own. As he landed upon the roof of Kaede's hut, he inhaled and shook his head in slight confusion, the smell was only one, and yet Rin was still a child. Landing to the ground delicately, he entered the hut and glanced around in the darkness. Seeing a small girl lying on a futon he gently knelt beside her and touched her shoulder "Rin." he said simply. The girl stirred and to his surprise, was much bigger than before, when her blanket fell down, as she set up he noticed she had become much more matured as well. "Mm...Ses-Sesshoumaru sama!" she cried out forgetting herself and clasping the demon in a giant bear hug. Again this girl had surprised him, something hard to do... Realizing what she was doing, she smiled at the feeling if his kimono before sitting back and apologizing. "Ah....forgive me Sesshoumaru sama." she whispered, slowly standing and exciting the hut "We should talk outside you know." He slowly rose to follow, though again pondered if humans truly grew this fast? He never really observed them much, but it seemed to take longer for girls to mature like Rin had. The outside air smelt crisp of rain and wildflowers, while the moons mighty face showered them in silver. Rin stared at her lost master for some time, his silver hair hadn't changed at all, still dancing carefully in the small breeze, his amber eyes still intense yet so controlled. "Rin, have you finally decided to come back?" Jake exclaimed from the bushes as he trudged towards her. The little man wouldn't admit it, but he had grown fond of the girl. He was shaking his head, until he saw her then his eyes grew wide "Sesshoumaru sama, are you sure this is Rin?" The lord just nodded his answer. Rin suddenly seemed struck by something and laughed softly "I almost forgot to tell you!" she said hitting her head lightly. "In my-er..Kagome's time, many more years have passed by, whereas here it has only been perhaps one or two." Sesshoumaru raised a brow and took a step close to Rin, he pulled lightly at her clothing, and bent even closer to smell her. Rin flushed, at the age of 7 this might not have sent such chills down her spine, but now she felt goose bumps slowly rising upon her skin. Amber eyes narrowed and studied her for a moment, before releasing her and taking step back "It must be true, you have aged." Rin smiled and nodded "Yup, I'm already an old maid in this time!" Sesshoumaru looked at her and spoke softly "Then I suppose you'll be wanting a human mate now?" Rin flushed wildly and shook her head "I'm not even 19 yet Sesshoumaru sama!" Jake sighed "How odd, women certainly wait longer from that era." Sesshoumaru was meanwhile pondering what to do with her, he would though he might not admit it, love to have her come with them again.... He watched her quietly as she had bent down and held Jaken in a tight embrace, while the toad pretended he wasn't enjoying it, with a "if you must!" look on his face. She suddenly stood up and beamed "Shall I pack my things?" Sesshoumaru blank his eyes and slowly nodded "If that is what you desire."
I can't believe I forgot about this….Ok maybe I can…hehe^_^' Sooo sorry my darlings, I promise to remember next time. Where is this gonna go? Love you,
