A/N Back for chapter 2!! I don't know what gave me the idea of a story about Rin and Kohaku but after reading the manga of the one scene in which evil naraku ordered Rin captured by Kohaku, I just sorta. got the idea. Neways, hope you like.

Memories

Disclaimer: I don't own inuyasha.

**Rin**

Rin doesn't like hot weather. Don't u just hate hot weather? My hair, UGH! It doesn't get long and shiny as it usually is when it's its prettyful self. Sesshoumaru makes sure I look proper and lady like now that I'm 16 and becoming of age. I wiped sweat from my forehead as I trudged along my sword in hand fearing of danger. Sesshoumaru had warned me when traveling alone to never be off guard. Heh.. typical.

So. where was I? Oh yes, Fluffy had sent me on a mission. To kill Kawazaki, or was it wakazaku? Or was it... oh shit. He's not gonna like this. Nevertheless, maybe I should wander around reassembling the syllables helplessly. Perhaps I can come up with his name.

"where is the next town jaken?"

"I dunno. Why are you asking me. This is the part of the forest Sesshoumaru sent you to guard. You should know your territory Rin"

Stupid toad. He knows perfectly well where the next town is. But he's just now willing to tell now is he? We'll see about that.

In one quick flash I pulled out my sword placing it directly over Jaken's throat. Too quick were my skills for him to react. Grinning I repeated my question.

"Where is the next town, jaken?" I fluttered my eyelashes putting on my cutesy look.

"It's. it's.. five miles to the north lady Rin."

I giggled.

"Thank you. Now could you please go some place else while I finish this mission for lord sesshoumaru? Please???"

I knew it was gonna be more than a fluttering of eyelashes to get jaken off my tail. Last time he had left me alone I had gotten ambushed and almost killed if Sesshoumaru hadn't arrived in time to save me. After that Jaken was rather upset with me for the several more scars that added to the old ones.

To my surprise, Jaken, with a sigh, walked off.

**Kohaku** Damn it! I'm right back where I started. This was the town five miles north of the forest. I could have sworn I just passed here. Oh well, it was getting dark anyways. Walking into a lodge I asked for a room and promptly flopped myself onto bed and then sunk into deep slumber.

I woke up to the sound or rattling swords. Quickly grabbing my chain I jumped awake. Slowly I peeked through the crack in between the doorframe and saw something that made my breath stop. Funny thing, that's the first time that's happened.

It was the girl in my dreams. The girl that constantly haunted me. Her hair was put into one loop on the side of her head with strands of hair floating down her face on the other side. Her black outfit matched the blackness in her sleek shining hair. Her eyes glanced my way for a split second then they were focused on elsewhere. My mind trembled at the curves in her body. Without thinking I jumped out to her aid. After all, this was a lady fighting against several bulky looking men. Although, she did not look like she was having a hard time.

Quickly I began slicing at my enemies. Killing them in swift strokes. She seemed pleased with my skills. In no time many of the assassins lay dead on the inn floor. She ordered the remaining to take the bodies of the dead and return a message to lord... Well I wasn't listening really. I was too busy staring at her beautiful eyes. Never have I been put into a trance such as this. She suddenly turned around and finding my eyes staring at hers, she blushed a interesting shade of red before sitting down at a table next to me.

"My name's Rin," She said cheerfully while sticking out her hand, "thank you for what you did today. What's your name?"

Hesitantly I reached out my own hand and shook it.

"My name's..... um.." For some reason I couldn't say it. It was confusing. What if I told her the name Kohaku. Would she remember the person I once was when I was under Naraku's control? Would she remember that I'm actually suppose to be dead? What would she think of me then.

She gave me a puzzled look.

"You don't know your name?? That's odd. Even Rin knows her name and I was an orphan."

I smiled. She sounded so innocent. No one would ever suspect she was actually a very skilled fighter.

"It's getting late." I tried to make up excuses. Any excuses to get me out of this situation. "I think I'm gonna go to bed. Are you staying for the night?"

She gave a very energetic nod. Damn this girl appears to be hyped up 24/7. "Well, I guess I'll see you in the mornings." Not giving her time to react I pulled myself up from the table and reentered my room. Annoyed to find that however, she entered it as well.

"you know.. You do look sorta familiar.."

OH of all gods please no.

Well I think you should tell her the truth.

But how would she react? She would loathe me and hate me. Then I'd never be able to....

You wanna get close and cuddly with her don't you? Don't you Kohaku??

How would you know?

I am your conscience after all. I can see through your mind...

I wanna tell her.. but I'm afraid.

She probably wouldn't remember you anyways, you don't even remember her. IF you don't tell however, what if she finds out you've been lying to her.

No. no I can't. Hurry, think of a fake name to tell her.

Oh boy. um. how about koji?

Koji?? Sheesh, well better than um.

Turning around I faced her.

"You want to know my name? It's Koji."

She grinned happily at this, seeing as she had made a new friend. I couldn't help but want to ask this question.

"By the way. why were those assassins after you?"

At that, her face slightly darkened.
