Little Red Riding Rin

Chapter Seven

The Past

Last Time –

"Rin…there is something that I must tell you."

Just then a small wrinkly-looking toad demon walked in.

"Young master Sesshoumaru! Something terrible has happened!"

Now –

It had always been known by Rin that she was not the natural child of her parents. At her youth it had been told to her that she was found wandering a road alone, and that the ravaged bodies of her parents had been found on that same road. The fact that she was adopted never deterred her love for both her natural or adoptive parents, and Rin was content to live her life without question of what may have happened to her first family.

The moment that she realized that her adoptive father was dead however, a jumble of memories overtook her so powerfully that she couldn't hear Sesshoumaru as he asked if she was all right. Her eyes went blank, and in her mind's eye she saw the events of that day, exactly as they had taken place.

Details were irrelevant; all she could picture over and over again was that a slightly younger looking Sesshoumaru, with blood red eyes, had lunged towards her parents. And though she could understand the sudden and irrepressible blood lust that could have overtaken the young Sesshoumaru the rage that pent up within her was just screaming to get out. And by the time that Rin found her vision cleared she realized that Sesshoumaru had left the room to talk with his retainer, Jaken.

Standing up and stepping quietly towards the door she leaned in a little to listen to the conversation between them.

"The demon Naraku heads this way with a large army of demons under his control. The thing is milord that when we capture his scouts they seem to forget all they have been doing. What's more, his soldiers are human."

"The soldiers are under the control of a magical jewel that Naraku possesses. We must find a way to destroy the control of the jewel on his soldier's minds. Then I can defeat him."

"Milord. Can't you just kill them all with one swoop of your mighty claws?"

"His soldiers are human. As you said. I will kill Naraku. Now get to work finding more about this jewel…Shikon No Tama."

"And the human girl you brought with her. Shall I kill her?"

"Touch her and you die Jaken. She is to be my mate…now I told you to get to work…"

With the green toad demon scurrying off Rin was so busy thinking on Sesshoumaru's last words to Jaken and the fact that Sesshoumaru himself had killed her parents that she didn't notice the object of her thoughts until he was standing right in front of her.

"Rin?"

Looking up words were not eloquently available and her head so full to bursting that she could only scream and sob as she let fly a few weak punches into Sesshoumaru's chest.

"You killed my parents…you killed my parents…"
