~*What Lays Hidden*~

The Day we Met

Sometimes people live their lives under happy conditions. Living happily among others. Having a family and people who care for you, helping you when you're in trouble or when you're sad. This was a certain life of a girl named Rin. She was a child when this dreadful disaster happened. Bandits killed her parents and she was forced to run away with her little brother to another village. She helped as one of the village nurses, while her brother trained to be a samurai. One day, as she waited upon the return of her brother, it was said he had died in battle and she was left alone again. She refused to be called weak or pathetic. She trained hard to be strong; she went to battles with the village men when wars struck against large demons. Soon she was the best in the village with only a Japanese sword. Until one day.

The battle raged on as the 21-year-old woman Rin battled countless demons. She suffered from many wounds, but stripped herself from any emotion or pain. One by one she slaughtered them to pieces until none were left but her and Kuragasa, the demon with the sacred jewel shards in his arms and legs, to make him fast and strong. Rin knew she would not survive this battle. Her wounds were severe and blood loss was plentiful. She fell to one knee as her weakened body took control of her senses.

Kuragasa laughed as he saw the human girl fall to her knees. "Bowing to me already are you?" He smirked and laughed. His laugh was so annoying it drove Rin to a rampage. She swung her sword with grace despite her injuries. She was on the offensive as Kuragasa merely dodged each swipe. "Is this all you can do?" He jumped into the air and with great speed punched Rin in the stomach causing her to fall on her knees clutching her stomach once more.

"You- Bastard-," she managed to get out. She lifted herself with her sword and readied herself for another attack.

He laughed again and snapped his finger. A hurricane of wind circled around him and a boy appeared from within it. Rin's eyes widened in shock; she looked on as she saw the boy's face become clearer and clearer. With no doubt it was her long lost brother, Torumaru. "Now Rin, answer me this, would you kill your brother if I told you that he was the one who destroyed all the other villages around here.

"What!?" Rin held an incredulous look upon her face. Her body filled with anger as she charged at him. As she prepared her attack Torumaru blocked it with his own sword. "Torumaru, why are you protecting him?" Rin pushed back her brother and attempted to strike Kuragasa when Torumaru stuck his sword through her side. Rin hesitantly turned and looked at her brother in the eyes. He was not the little brother she had cared for when she was younger, this was someone completely different. She turned back to Kuragasa and spat at him, "Wha- what have y-you done to my brother!?" she gathered the last bit of her strength to attack but death began to take control. As she lay on the ground she looked up at Kuragasa.

"My duty was carried out for Naraku," he grabbed Torumaru and dashed off into the forest.

"Kuragasa, Naraku, I WILL KILL YOU!" Rin began to crawl with her brutally beaten body. She refused to give up, but death took her.

A tall demon walked through the forest with a small imp servant. The demon wore a white kimono with armor with two swords at his hip. A fluffy cloak was rested over his right shoulder. His silver hair blew through the wind with every breeze. A crescent moon was in the middle of his forehead; he had golden eyes and two purple stripes that lay on either side of his cheeks. This demon went by the name Sesshoumaru. He came to a village filled with slaughtered villagers and demons. He looked around until he saw a woman with a sword stuck in her back and a sword under her limp hand. She had black hair that went to the middle of her back. She had a frown upon her face as she lay in her blood; she was Rin.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, what do you suppose happened here?" Jaken, his trusted servant asked and walked closer to the body. "This woman was slaughtered, look at all the wounds. She must have been strong." He looked to his master and he was unsheathing his inherited sword, Tenseiga. "Lord Sesshoumaru, are you planning to revive this girl?" Jaken stood back as his master looked at the dead mortal girl.

'She shall be another test,' "I will conduct another test," The Tenseiga pulsed and the demons from the underworld surrounded the body. The girl's soul fought the demons but to no avail. 'She is strong, and determined," He swiped the demons and the soul migrated back into the body. Sesshoumaru saw as the sword in her back fell and she rose to her knees. She lifted her hands and examined them. She touched her face and gasped.

'I'm alive, but how?' She looked up at the demon that hovered above her. She picked up her sword and stood in her stance. "Who are you, what do you want?" She asked with a serious face. The demon seemed not scared nor frightened. He simply turned and walked away. "Hey!" Rin jumped above him and in front of him. "I asked you a question, do not turn your back on me," she did not care she was talking to a demon; she was in too much pain to care.

"Do you dare talk to me like that?" He grabbed her by the throat and held her up. 'This girl is not an ordinary human, she is strong.'

"Let me go, I don't have time for this!" she struggled but could not get free from his grip.

Sesshoumaru dropped her and smirked, "I brought you back to life; I would think you would be thanking me." He saw an incredulous look cross her face as she stroked her neck.

"How," she paused thinking how to put her words, "how did you do it?" She picked up her sword and stood. She examined his face and saw it showed no emotion. 'He's a powerful demon, I should be careful, but why would a demon like him bring me back to life?'

"I was testing my sword, Tenseiga, it has the power to bring 100 souls back with one swipe. As you can see you're alive and my sword revived you." He walked passed her, "Jaken, we're leaving."

Jaken ran behind him and asked, "My lord, did you know that you just saved a human girl, are you feeling okay?" He looked up at him as Sesshoumaru kicked him back next to Rin.

"Hey, Sesshoumaru!" She yelled back at him. He turned and stared at the girl he saved from death. "Allow me to go with you, I wish to kill and destroy 2 demons who've done this to me, Kuragasa and Naraku-,"

"Naraku?" Sesshoumaru cocked his head to the side. "Why do you wish to kill him?"

"He caused my death and took my brothers life; he controls my brother. He is no longer what he used to be. Kuragasa was ordered to kill me and also try to make me kill my younger brother. I will hunt down these two demons an avenge my brothers life." Rin clenched her fist and held it up to her face; she cringed with anger as those memories circled her mind. She looked up and saw him in front of her; she stared in his eyes and seemed to get lost in those golden orbs.

"Fine, you may follow me. Only, just only until you seek out your revenge. I will help you to kill them; you also owe your life to me, so you shall follow until you die if you do not kill Naraku and this Kuragasa," He turned and walked away.

"I promise you, I shall have my revenge," Rin sheathed her sword and walked behind him and followed him to wherever he wished to go.
