a/n: I forgot my disclaimer in chapter one so here it is.
Disclaimer: I hereby state that I do not own Rin or Sesshomaru or any other
Inuyasha characters.
And with no further ado...
Ch.2. Trying to Remember.
Rin looked up trying to locate the source of the voice. She found it on the opposite side of the forest pool. The silver haired man from her dream stood there. His golden eyes watched her unblinking as she studied him. "You're the one from my dreams!" Rin exclaimed jumping to her feet. "But you're a demon!"
The silver haired man nodded. "Yes, Rin, I am a demon." He frowned at her, "do you remember nothing?" he asked.
She shook her head. "How do you know my name and what do you mean, they are memories? I lived with my parents until I was seven."
The demon easily leapt the pool and landed in front of the startled young woman. "Is that how you remember it?" he asked.
"Well, no, I can't remember that far back, but that's what my aunt and uncle told me." Rin said. She knew she should be scared of this obviously powerful demon but strangely she was not.
"They lied." He said simply. "You lived with your parents until they were both killed. You wandered around not saying a word for a long time. You found me when I was hurt and tried to help. You were killed by wolves and I brought you back to life using my Tenseiga."
Rin just starred at him "Sesshomaru?" she asked hesitantly.
He nodded, "so you do remember?"
"I still only remember bits and pieces, but I remember you and the castle and—and Jaken!" she looked at him in shock "why would they lie to me?" she asked.
Sesshomaru looked of in the direction of her farm. "I do not know," he said. "But I trust they have been treating you well?" he asked, a dangerous note entering his voice.
"Yes, well," Rin hesitated, "my aunt does but my uncle, he tends to lose his temper some times."
Sesshomaru looked at her sharply, "he hurt you?"
"Only a few times and nothing too serious." Rin replied, "Well except for the knife incident but that was mostly my fault." Wait, Rin thought, why am I defending my uncle? It's not like he can hurt me with a demon on my side and I don't think Sesshomaru would let him try.
"It was always your fault!" her uncle had shown up and he was madder then Rin had ever seen him. "Rin get away from that demon! He's dangerous." Rin didn't move. "Rin! Come here now!" her uncle yelled.
Sesshomaru stepped in front of her. "How dare you treat her like that!" he snarled.
"You can't have her back. She doesn't remember you. I made sure of that." Her uncle taunted.
He must be drunk. Rin thought wildly, Otherwise why would he be stupid enough to taunt a demon?
Sesshomaru covered the space between them in an instant. He grabbed her uncle by the throat. "What have you done to her?" he asked shaking the man.
The man coughed and spluttered, clawing at the hand around his throat. Sesshomaru only squeezed harder
"Alright, alright I'll tell you, just put me down." Her uncle choked out. The silver haired demon threw him roughly to the ground. "I gave her a powder I got from a village shaman. It erases all memories up until the point it was given. I wanted to make sure she never tried to go back to you."
Rin just starred at her uncle in horror. "How—how could you do that to me?" she asked.
"Apparently the powder only suppresses memories, because you started remembering, in your dreams." Rin's uncle said to her.
Rin starred at the ground trying to remember, she strained her mind trying to tear down the wall around her past. With a final mental shove the wall toppled. Memory returned in a rush of images, sounds, and smells. Rin collapsed in a dead faint.
