Chapter Four
"Uff." Was the noise Inuyasha made has he was pushed against a tree.
"How do you like that you little brat? Huh?" asked his attacker, Baiko.
Rina had try to get from under the other attacker but couldn't. "Please." She cried. "Please don't hurt him. Let him go." Tears fell freely from her purple eyes.
"Ahh." Bakin let go of Rina and fell hard on the ground.
"Uh?" She sat up and looked at him. He was groaning in pain. "Inuyasha." She ran over to him worried. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Hmph. You won't be for long." Baiko was running towards them with a fire sword in hand.
An arrow flew through the air hitting Baiko and disappearing. "Ahh." He fell on the ground just like Bakin did. After a few moments the arrow's effect began to wear off. "L-lets get out of here, Bakin."
"Will be back." Bakin said running away.
Inuyasha and Rina stood in amazement. "Inuyasha!" Rina stated as he fell to his knees. "Are you sure you're alright?"
"I-I'm fine." He stated through gritted teeth.
"Here!" Called a girl running down a hill. "Take this."
At the site of this new comer, Inuyasha stood up a smile on his face. "I good but thanks. This liquid looks strange. What is it?" He stood in awe talking to the new girl.
Rina was still on her knees. Just a moment ago Inuyasha was hurt. Now he was up, looking fine. Something pinged at her heart.
"Hi." Said the girl to Rina. "I'm Kikyo. Pleasure to meet you." She extended her hand politely.
Rina looked at it, and reluctantly took the welcoming hand.
"Why don't you come up to the house. My mom's cooking breakfast." He smiled.
She agreed and they walked up to the house forgetting about Rina. /Where'd she come from?/ Looking up at the hill she went to investigated.

The night sky was clear and the full moon was well an hour over the horizon. Inuyasha and the new child Kikyo were outside laughing when Rina walked on the premise. Her eyes were no longer purple, nor her hair lavender. They had changed to cerulean blue eyes, and dark brown hair.
"Hey Rina." Inuyasha greeted by standing. "Where have you been."
She didn't meet his eyes. Stopping she just stood there.
"Uh Rina?" He questioned.
"Huh? Oh hello." She lifted her head. "I'm sorry I was thinking."
"Where were you? I was getting worried."
She looked at him. "Well I was out."
He moved closer to her. "But in your present state..?"
Her eyes moved to his. "I'm sorry." Her words no louder then a whisper.
"I don't mean to bother this moment." Kikyo said. "But I must be going home now." She walked a ways before Inuyasha called after her and walked her home.
Sighing Rina walked in the house not bothering to watch them go.
--
"Good morning Rina." Inuyasha's mother said sweetly, opening the door to let the fresh breeze enter.
"Good morning." She replied sleeply. Looking around she did not see Inuyasha.
"He's outside.." His mother answered the unstated question. "With that girl. I believe her name to be...Kikyo."
Rina hung her head and sighed. Walking to the door she watched them playing.
Inuyasha's mother smiled. "She's a really nice girl, Rina. I think you will get along with her quite well."
"Yes I'm sure I will." Rina quietly said after she left.
Just some revising, nothing much. Check the rest of the chapters if you'd like, don't if that's even better for you. Thanks for reading and reviewing though. Have a nice day and a wonderful four day weekend.
