Hey everyone this is my 2nd installment for the Rin series. Wow I was just looking at the fic and I can't believe I got 27 reviews for one chapter!! That's like the most ever. O well umm disclaimers yada yada yada. [There mite b a lot of errors cuz I in detention for uniform violations and it's finals week and my fingers are numb in here cuz it freezing -_-. Well n e ways on with the story. O yeah and I dunno when I can get the next part out cuz I gonna b in china all summer and dunno if I have internet access so I doing a new chapter for every one of my stories. Or at least attempting to do one. Seriously now on with the story.] –that part was written like 3 years ago. Didn't feel like deleting it b/c that was how like when most of this fic was written. All I changed in this fic were a few editing stuff and maybe added a little to it. O yeah for all you ppl out there. I haven't kept up with inuyasha in like seriously 2-3 years so there might be stuff I don't know about like inuyasha meeting up with rin somewhere in the story or n e thing if it happened. This was written when I had read maybe like somewhere in the 20s volume. So don't bitch about it being all wrong. Rin is a bit OC b/c at that time there was not much depth to her character. All you knew was that she helped fluffy (sesshomaru) and he let her stay with him, and cares about her a lil. I don't know how she is now. Also some characters might b a lil weird b/c as I said haven't watched or seen or read inuyasha stuff in 2-3 years. I think I wrote one of the first rin stories. Cuz I think, not sure since so long ago, but I started writing it after I first read about her and fluffy letting her stay with him and inuyasha only had like maybe not even 100 stories or so I think. O well whatever. I dunno if this is gonna b rinxsesshomaru. It started out that way. But not sure n e more. Sorry this part was so long. But juss needed to explain everything.
Rin woke up on a strange bed and saw a girl dressed in strange clothes in front of her. Her eyes opened widely. "Where am I? Where's Sesshomaru-sama?!" she asked frightenedly. Inuyasha popped his head in. "Looks like the brat's up." He said, coming in. "Who do you think you're calling a brat. You're the one who spoke to Sesshomaru so rudely aren't you." Rin said trying to kick him. Inuyasha quickly picked her up and held her in front of him. Rin only hit air. "Inuyasha put her down." Kagome ordered. "Why should I listen to you." he said. "Osuwari." Inuyasha fell to the ground and Rin rolled away. "Don't be so mean to a little girl." Kagome said picking her up. Shippo popped his head in. "Is she up?" he asked. "A kitsune demon?" Rin asked. "Hai, this is Shippo, the baka over there is Inuyasha, and I'm Kagome." Kagome said, pointing to each person. "Why did Sesshomaru-sama leave me here? Why didn't he take me with him?" Rin asked confusedly. "Inuyasha is Sesshomaru's brother." Kagome said, trying to think of an explanation. She couldn't even think of a reason why Sesshomaru had left the little girl there. "You mean the bastard half-youkai who Sesshomaru-sama and Jaken talk about sometimes?" Rin asked. "Teme, Sesshomaru talks about me like that?!" Inuyasha shouted getting up. He looked up to see Rin messing with his ears. "What do you think you're doing?!" he said, turning sd. "I always wanted to do that to Sesshomaru-sama but he never let me." Rin said innocently. "Kagome why do we have to take care of this brat?" Inuyasha whined. "I'm not a brat my names's Rin." Rin said indignantly. "Rin-chan don't mind Inuyasha. He's always like this. It means he likes you. He does it all the time to Shippo-chan." Kagome said. "Oh yeah." Inuyasha rummaged through his clothes. "Sesshomaru left this for you." He said pulling out a jade necklace. Rin grabbed the necklace, and held it to her tightly. "Rin-chan, it's ok." Kagome said, seeing the pain in the girls eyes. She reached out to hug the child. Rin cried into Kagome's shoulder. Sesshomaru-sama why did you leave me?
"Rin-chan!" Kagome called. Rin got up from smelling the flowers in the field and hurried over. It had been 2 years since she had come here. She was now 15. Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten married 1 years ago, and right after that Shippo-chan had left. "Kagome-san you shouldn't come out here. It's bad for you." Rin admonished. Kagome patted her big stomach. "I'm just pregnant, not an invalid." She protested. "Inuyasha would kill me if he knew I let you out here." Rin said. "Well he won't know now will he. He's gone to get another shikon shard." Kagome said, a bit angrily, miffed at the fact that her husband had left her in her state. "Now now Kagome, he only left a few days ago, and he didn't bring you because, well look at you." Rin said. "But he still should have told me before he left." Kagome complained, remembering the note he had put on the futon. "Would you have let him go by himself then?" Rin asked knowing what the answer would be. Kagome looked away. "I'm going over to Sango-san's again." Rin said, heading towards Sango's house. "I swear Rin. What do you do there? You spend more time there than at home." Kagome said. Rin just smiled and kept walking.
"Sango-san are you here?" Rin called. "Hai, I'm in the weapons room." Sango called. Rin walked over. She saw Sango polishing her boomerang and various other weapons. Rin picked up one of the weapons. "Very nice. When did you get this knife?" she asked. "I uhh, it's special." Sango said grabbing for it. Rin examined the handle. "Hey isn't this the priest that you and Inuyasha and Kagome used to find shikon shards with?" she said pointing to the name on the handle. "Hai. It's Miro- Houshi-sama's. We were fighting a youkai, and I didn't have a weapon so he tossed me this knife, I guess I just forgot to give it back." She said. Rin looked at Sango's slightly red face. She'd heard about this Miroku guy. He was a lecherous priest who looked for shikon shards with Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo. Before she'd came, he'd left to wander again but Sango, Inuyasha, and everyone else had stayed. "So what about our lesson for today." She said genkily, closing her eyes and selecting a random weapon. She opened it and found a katana in her hands. "Hai." Sango said, picking up a similar weapon.
Half an hour later, the two girls were breathing hard. "Ne when are you going to teach me how to use the staff." Rin asked gasping. Sango rushed at her with her sword, but Rin blocked it and counter-attacked. Sango blocked it, but was pushed back. "When you master all the other weapons I've taught you." She said breathing hard. "I have mastered them. I can even beat you sometimes." Rin bantered. "You might be decent at all of them, but I wouldn't say you've mastered them." Sango replied. "What are you talking about? Decent is almost the same thing as pretty much mastered and that's almost the same thing as mastered. I'll beat you today and show you how good I am." Rin replied, though a little bit illogically. Sango moved forward as she was talking and disarmed her. "You were saying what about mastered?" she asked sweetly, as both girls fell to the ground. "Feh, I'll beat you next time." The younger girl grumbled. "Wahh this feels good." Rin said stretching in the grass. "When's Inuyasha coming back?" Sango asked. "I think soon. It shouldn't take him that long to get the shikon fragment." Rin said. Sango turned to her. "I still think that you should tell him about our lessons." She said, pushing herself off the ground. Rin did the same. "No way. He'd go ballistic." She exclaimed. "I still don't think it's right, to lie to him." Sango said doubtfully. "Hey we've been doing it for 2 years, and it's not really lying to him, it's just not telling him." Rin said. "Let's have another round, then I have to go back and help Kagome with dinner." Rin said. Sango nodded.
"Rin-chan where've you been?" Kagome said, as Rin tiredly opened the door. Rin froze as she saw Inuyasha sitting at the table. He sniffed the air. "You're all sweaty, where were you?" he asked. "I was at Sango-san's house. She wanted me to help her with her uhh garden." She said. Inuyasha sniffed again. "I smell blood." He said. Rin froze. "I accidentally cut myself today." She said. He grabbed her arm and looked at it suspiciously. "So Inuyasha did you get the shard?" she asked trying to change the subject. "Yes, and look at what else I got too." He said, pointing to the door, to one of the guest rooms. Rin opened the door slowly. She saw a bare-chested man standing in the middle of the room. She blushed and closed the door. The door opened a minute later and the man poked his head out. "What a kawaii onna. Will you please bear my child." He asked grasping her hands. Inuyasha and Kagome both hit him in sd form. "Rin-chan is only 15, Miroku." Kagome said, holding up her cooking ladle dangerously. Miroku scratched his head. "Hai hai." He said, sitting down at the table. "You're Miroku-san?" Rin asked. "Hai." He replied. "Who are you?" he asked curiously, as Kagome laid the food on the table. "I'm Rin." She said, taking big heaps of food, and putting them on her plate. "She's the brat Sesshomaru dumped here." Inuyasha said without thinking. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said surprised. Rin froze in the middle of her eating. She looked down, "Kagome-san I'm not hungry, may I be excused." Rin asked, getting up. "H-hai." Kagome said. Rin walked out the door. "Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha hit the floor, 3 times. "Itaii! Kagome!" he yelled. "You know Rin-chan never got over Sesshomaru leaving her here!" Kagome said angrily. "I forgot I forgot." Inuyasha protested. Kagome hummpphed and kicked him out the door. "Kagome lemme in. I'm hungry." Inuyasha whined from outside. Miroku watched all this with a sweatdrop. "Did I just hear right? This human girl was with Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked curiously. "Hai. He dropped her off 2 years ago. Rin-chan didn't want to leave him, but he knocked her unconscious and left. He hasn't even been back once to see her." Kagome explained. "She used to mope around all the time, but lately she's been getting better and I think thought that she had almost forgotten about him. That ahou Inuyasha just had to bring it up again." Kagome said swinging her ladle angrily. "Kagome! I'm going to break down this door!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome ignored him. "It was just an accident, Kagome-sama. I mean you know how Inuyasha is, always saying things without thinking." Miroku said. Kagome's face softened. "He's going to run at the door." Miroku said picking up his chopsticks. "I know. I guess you're right. Inuyasha is just naturally an idiot, and he really does care about Rin-chan." She said, opening the door. Inuyasha zoomed in and hit the wall, falling backwards after the impact. "Baka." Miroku said, continuing to eat his food. "I can't believe you were going to break down our door baka." Kagome said, helping him to the table and piling food on his plate. Inuyasha ignored her and stuffed his face using his hands. Miroku put his face in his hands. "He hasn't changed has he. Still as barbaric as usual." He sighed.
Rin sat by the field near the house, looking up into the sky, wondering whether Sesshomaru was up there now, flying or in his chariot. She heard someone sit down next to her and she turned. "Kagome-sama told me all about you." Miroku said, staring up into the sky. Rin looked away from him. "I'm going to find Sesshomaru-sama one day." She said. "Sesshomaru isn't a very good person." Miroku started. Rin leaned back, onto the ground. "Iie, you're wrong. You think just like Inuyasha and the others. Sesshomaru is very kind, he just doesn't like to show it." She fingered the necklace on her neck. Miroku noticed it. "That's a pretty necklace, where did you get it?" he asked, trying to change the subject. "Sesshomaru left it for me when he left. It was one of the presents I gave him." She said sadly. "Miroku-san did you and Sango-san ever have anything going on between you?" she asked curiously, her tone changing. Miroku froze. "No no. Whatever gave you that idea?" he asked in sd, waving his hands. Just as I thought. Rin thought with a grin. "I think Sango-san likes you though." She said innocently. "She does?" Miroku asked surprisedly. Got him hooked, Rin thought. "Hai. You know she still has the knife that you gave her a long time ago." She said. "She does?" Miroku asked amazed. "Now more to the point. I think that you like Sango-san, so let's have a deal. You tell me what went on between you two in the past and teach me how to use a staff, and I'll try and help you with Sango-san." Rin said diplomatically. Miroku who had just sat back up, dropped to the ground. "So that's what you were planning this whole time." He said, a bit surprised. "Well as I hear it. You're very good with a staff, and Sango-san won't teach me, truthfully I think it's because it reminds her of you." Rin said. "Sango's been teaching you how to fight?" Miroku questioned. Rin covered his mouth. "Shh. Don't say it too loud, Inuyasha might hear." She hissed. "Why don't you want Inuyasha to hear?" he asked as she uncovered his mouth. "Well when Sesshomaru-sama left me here, he told Inuyasha that he wanted me to not learn to fight and live like a normal girl. Jaken never taught me either." She said pouting a bit. "So finally I got Sango-san to agree to teach me. And Kagome-san taught me archery because it's not fighting it's for "hunting" and "fun"." Rin said. "And you've managed to fool Inuyasha all this time?" Miroku asked incredulously. "It wasn't easy, but yes." Rin said a bit proudly. "Kaede-sama also teaches me medicines and incantations, so usually I use this really strong smelling plant after I practice, to cover up the smell of sweat and blood." She continued. "Doesn't he ever get curious on why you smell like that then?" Miroku asked. "I just ignore him and say it's none of his business, usually he starts getting all mad and starts ranting, then I insult him. Once he starts breaking stuff, Kagome "sit's" him and then he gets mad at her and forgets about me. It works like that every time." Rin said with a smile. Miroku looked at her with a sweatdrop. What a crafty little girl. He thought. "So do we have a deal?" she asked. "I'll teach you how to use the staff, but there's no deal. I don't want to tell you about what's in the past, and if Sango-san and I do get together, I want to do it by myself." He said getting up. "So you dooooo like her." Rin said popping to her feet. Miroku looked at the young girl, "It's none of your business." He said, touching her bottom. "What?! What do you mean none of my business! You lecherous priest! Why you--" she ranted on, chasing after him. Well I guess living with Inuyasha for 2 years, some of him was bound to rub off on her. He thought with a sweatdrop.
"Inuyasha, Kagome-san I'm going out with Miroku-san." Rin called as she walked out the door. Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the collar before he went out. "Better not try anything." He warned. "Hai hai." Miroku said genkily, as he pulled out of Inuyasha's grasp. "Teme you lecherous priest I don't believe you!" Inuyasha yelled after him. Rin quickly stepped between the half-demon and the priest. "Inuyasha, we're just going to go get some food for tonight's dinner and if there's time, show him around the village. The village has changed a lot since he left." Rin explained. Inuyasha looked slyly at the priest and the girl, "Does this tour of the village include Sango's house?" he asked slickly. "Hai. I'm going to ask Sango-sama if she would like to bear my child. I haven't asked her in a long time, maybe she has changed her mind. Oooo and to caress that bottom-" Inuyasha turned his back and went back inside, tired of hearing the monk's airy tirade. Miroku grinned at Rin. "That was very good. How did you learn to play him like that?" She said in awe. "It comes with being around him too long, he's very predictable." He answered. "But of course you already knew that." He said knowingly as he remembered her craftiness. Kagome smiled as she saw the two walk off. Rin had informed her of Miroku's agreement, and Kagome had whole-heartedly supported her. Kagome never approved of Inuyasha's adamant disapproval of Rin learning to fight, even if Sesshomaru had specifically asked that of them. She thought that ladies should know how to protect themselves and not have to keep getting saved, she thought as she remembered distastefully how many times Inuyasha had risked his life for her.
Rin led Miroku to an excluded spot outside the village, well outside the range of Inuyasha's hearing. "This is where you train with Sango?" he asked, taking in the upturned dirt, and seeing various blood spots on the ground and trees surrounding the area. "Hai. It's well out of Inuyasha's hearing range, and not many people come here." She answered. "Now lets start training." She said, anxious to get her training of the one weapon she'd always wanted to learn. "Chotto. First I want to know why you want to learn to use a staff so badly." He said holding up his hands. Rin's face fell, as it sunk in that she had to wait even longer to learn. "It's very useful to learn, you can use almost anything as a staff, a broom, a tree branch, anything." She explained. It was a good reason, but Miroku could see that there was another reason she wanted to learn. "What's the real reason?" he asked. "I told you the reason." She said looking at him confusedly. Miroku stared at her, inwardly applauding her acting. "No. I want to know the real reason, before I teach you." He said emphasizing real. Rin stared hard at his face, realizing, in the process, that he would know if she lied to him. She let out a sigh and lifted her hands in defeat. "Fine, fine, I-I just wanted to learn because Jaken uses a staff too. I want to be like him, even if its just a little bit. Plus it's the only weapon that I know of that I haven't at least been trained in." she said finally. Miroku could tell she was being truthful this time and handed her his staff. "Nani?" she asked confused. "You forgot to bring one to practice with." He said pointedly. Rin looked down at her empty hands and blushed. She scratched her head in embarrassment, "Eh hehe. I knew that." She said unconvincingly. Miroku shook his head, this girl is such a baka, he thought. He couldn't even comprehend how she could come up with the crafty plans she had told him about earlier.
Rin swung the staff to the side to try and hit Miroku. He promptly dodged it and came up in front of her, his hand outstretched, stopping just short of her neck. "You're doing it all wrong!" he cried. "If you swing that far out, you leave yourself open for attack." He stated. "You swing it like this." He said coming up behind her and putting his arms around her to guide her hands. "Get away you lecherous priest!" Rin shouted, her hand coming up to slap him. "It's not my fault you keep forgetting to get a staff." He said rubbing his face. "It's not like I can just go over to Sango-san's and ask her for one." She replied angrily. They had been training for almost a week already and Miroku had adamantly refused to go see Sango yet, or have any of the 3 people he was staying with tell her he was there. Rin speculated that something must have happened between them, a fight maybe, but never dwelled on it too long. Rin sat on the ground tiredly and stretched her back against a tree. "Geez this is going to kill me sooner or later. Training with Sango everyday and then training with you AND THEN I have to go back and help Kagome out with the house. Good thing, she's not making me still do archery lessons right now." She said exasperatedly. "It was your decision to have me train you in using the staff." Miroku pointed out. "But if you had let me tell Sango-san that you were training me then I wouldn't have to do double training!" she shot back. The priest shrugged. "If you do not wish to learn anymore, then by all means tell me. Its just less work for me." He replied. Rin grudgingly got up. "Urusai." She said, knowing full well that the priest was right. "We have to get back now to help Kagome clean the house." She said. "Kaede-sama says that she shouldn't be on her feet too much since the baby's almost here." She continued. As she took a step forward her leg buckled, and she barely stopped herself from falling by grabbing Miroku's shoulder. Miroku winced slightly as her nails dug into his shoulder. He helped her stand straight until she was steady and then held out his hand to the tired girl. "What?" she asked half-suspiciously. "Your tired, I'll carry you back if you want." He said, genuine concern showing in his eyes. She shook her head and started walking, slowly. Miroku could see her tiredness in every movement she made, and swept her off her feet. "Hey put me down!" she yelled, beating his chest. "Iie, ojou-san. I'm going to carry you back, you're too tired to walk all the way to the house." He said. She looked at him gratefully and her beating stopped. She snuggled her head closer to his chest as she closed her eyes. Her breathing soon became steady and Miroku looked affectionately at the sleeping 15 year old in his arms. He felt his arms grow heavy as he trudged along back to the house, Eto maybe I should have carried her on my back instead, she's kind of heavy. He thought with a sweatdrop, shifting the staff he was holding awkwardly in one of his hands.
Kagome watched as she saw Miroku appear in the distance, holding something in his arms. She rushed out as she saw that he was carrying a body. "Did something happen?" she asked concerned. "Iie. She's just a little overworked that's all." He whispered, not wanting Inuyasha to hear. Inuyasha bounded out of the house at Kagome's concerned question. "What's wrong?" he asked, coming up to them. "Eh nothing." Miroku answered. "What's wrong with Rin?" Inuyasha asked, noticing the sleeping girl in Miroku's arms. He sniffed her. "She smells really sweaty. You haven't been doing anything perverted to her or something have you?" he asked suspiciously. "Would I do that? She's only 15." Miroku asked in a feigned hurt voice. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other, then turned back to the priest and nodded. Miroku feigned a hurt expression. "She's just a little tired Inuyasha, she's been helping out with the house and also doing errands for me." Kagome said, trying to cover up what Rin had really been doing. "Feh, just a little work and she gets this tired. Humans are so weak." He said gruffly turning away, happy to know nothing was wrong. "Osuwari." Kagome said, looking a bit peeved. Inuyasha hit the ground with a pained oomph. "What'd you do that for-" Kagome cut him off. "You know it wouldn't hurt you to help out with some of the chores around here." She told him sharply. "But-" "No buts. Rin-chan does almost everything around here, even Miroku-sama helps out. But youuuuu, you run away every time I ask you to help out around the house, or you say that it's a woman's job." She said angrily. Inuyasha rubbed his head slightly, Damn, Kagome's mood swings have been a lot worse since she got pregnant, he thought with a frown. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a falling basket. He turned his head and saw Sango staring at them, her face pale.
Anybody know if its supposed to be monk or priest? I totally forgot. I originally had it written with monk. But I dunno it didn't sound right so I changed it all to priest. N e waiz dunno when next update is since I have to get started on college essays. And my next couple days are pretty filled up. Yes I'm a senior. And no senior year isn't as easy as everyone thinks, because of stupid stupid stupid applications. O well enuff ranting. Please review. You can even tell me if my story sucks. Juss don't flame me about it being off from the original inuyasha storyline and stuff b/c as I already explained I don't keep up. I know I come off pretty bitchy but o well. I can live with that I guess. Usually I'm pretty nice though. You probably won't see this side of me in n e other comments in the future.
