Chapter 8
Old memories
"So, that was quite an adventure you had back there." Sakai said as he watched Sesshomaru practice. Sesshomaru stopped and looked at him. "It's strange but I have not practiced in a long time." "Then why do so?" Sakai asked. "I need to think clearly. Now, you seem to know about my reincarnation, so spill it." Sakai tapped his cane to the ground and brought out a pipe. "Alright, then I will tell you. Both he and you are alike in many ways, as are the lady Kikyo and Ms. Kagome. He has your bravery as you saw when he went after you. His name is Hatso Yama. His occupation is a firefighting. For the record, he has not yet lost anyone that he has gone in after." Sakai then pointed to the ogre's sword. "He also has that." Sesshomaru looked at the sword for a moment. "How does he get it?" Sakai laughed. "Why it's an heirloom my boy. You see he's your great, great, great, great, great, great, grandson." Sesshomaru just stood there shocked. "come now, I see a lot of things around this well, but then again a man or a demon can not know too much about his or her future." Sesshomaru grabbed Sakai and glared at him. "Tell me what you know, and stop talking in riddles!" Sakai fell to the ground; he got up and then tapped his stick again. "Remember the future is always changing, if I told you too much, Sesshomaru then your savior Hatso might not be born. That in turn means that you would have died in that fire. Get what I mean?" Sesshomaru was shocked again as the possibilities hit him, he sat on the ground for a second. Sakai smiled again. "If you don't look at it this way. A boy travels to the past by accident, he a stumbles upon his parents right before they met. That in turn stops them from meeting and so they don't have kids. Now this boy was never born. Makes you think doesn't it."
Rin was bored in school. It was her favorite class though so she paid attention. She sighed to herself. "And to think people used to make fun of me, because I knew nothing of history. Now I'm getting A's in it." She mused, and started drawing. She drew a long haired man in a robe; he was missing one of his arms. She sighed again. "I haven't drawn this guy in a long time, wonder why I wanted to draw him again." A voice answered her. "Yes why would you wish to draw him in my class ms. Sesso?" She looked up as the teacher took her drawing and threw it into the wastebasket. "Now please answer this question, who was it that came to Japan and opened trade agreements in 1853?" Rin smiled, this was an easy one. "Mr. Perry after he fired his cannons as a show of force." The teacher smiled and went on with the lesson.
It was the same way with kendo practice; she kept seeing images of the man attacking a furry eared boy with a giant sword. She lost her focus and her master's boken hit home. "Rin that isn't like you. That was an easy block." She apologized to him. "Remember Rin, too much thinking and you still loose the fight. Think only on your swordsmanship. Now come at me." He raised his boken to her and she raised hers. The one armed mans attack came to her then, she tried it against her sensei and it succeeded. "So where did you learn that move?" He asked as he rubbed his bruised shoulder after practice. She smiled at her teacher. "In my dreams." She simply stated, Rin then looked at her watch and gasped. "Oh, no I'm late for work. Got to go!" She scrambled out of the practice area and headed for her bike. "Gotta take the short cut." She said as she started the engine and took off.
