Chapter1
The day we met.
"Eh, mi' lord, the human child still follows us." Jaken mumbled in a raspy undertone. "What should we do?…Mi' lord?.." He looked up to the taller superior, while trotting beside him. It was true, the silent little orphan child was indeed trailing Jaken and Sesshomaru, and had been doing so for the past few hours. Jaken dropped his beady head and sighed. This was quite unusual. Never before has there been another member of their party. Let alone a human one. 'This is strange, why doesn't he send her away? It was odd enough he resurrected the girl…maybe his hatred of humans…'
He cut his thoughts short as he noticed he was now walking alone. "Ah! Please don't leave me!" Jaken sputtered, panicking. Looking back, he sighed. Sesshomaru had stopped walking a few meters away. His back faced the little toad servant.
The girl quickened her pace until she reached Sesshomaru, then she bowed. This struck him as strange, so he spoke to her. "Why do you follow me? Go home girl." his voice somewhat cold.
The little girl looked up with a sadden faced, yet said nothing.
"Are you mute?" She shook her head. "Then why don't you speak when spoken to?" Jaken ran up, clutching his staff.
"Why waste your time, mi' lord? You should've left her for dead." He smirked a demented grin, folding his short little arms across his chest. "She has no family, they're all dead most likely." The girl made a small sound, that of a depressed sigh. She didn't have any family, nor a place to go thanks to the wolves that attacked her second home.
"Jaken…" Sesshomaru spoke.
"Yes, mi' lord?…..Ack!" The toad looking creature collapsed in pain, clutching his head that was briskly hit over with his own staff. "S-sorry mi' lord! I won't step outta line again!" he backed away, fearing his master's passive aggressiveness.
"I…want to thank you.." She said softly, standing to her feet. Her brown eyes slowly trailed up the youkai lord and into his own golden ones. She blushed silently, adverting her eyes.
"What is your name?" Sesshomaru asked as he surveyed her.
"I am Rin." Her voice picked up, along with a smile. He said nothing else but turned around and continued his unknown journey. Rin couldn't help but giggle quietly, as she knew she was accepted into Sesshomaru's party, and hurried to catch up to him.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you are truly whimsical…" Jaken muttered, then fled towards them at the sound of a rustling bush.
A/N: Short and sweet. Think of this as an intro for the story. Watch out for part II!
Arigato!
