Rin was walking on the road with a pack on her back. She was looking onto the ground unsure about every step she took. She remembered her promise and tried to force herself move.
Finally she stopped and looked at her picture on the river, which flowed under the bridge she was standing. She was an adult now, young and beautiful. Her hair was just the same as when she had still been with her best friends ever.
It had been a fight back then. A great, great fight with many death and sacrifices. Sesshomaru too had taken part in that war in order to protect Rin and Jaken. However, she had got separated from them and taken away by a bird demon.
She had screamed, and Sesshomaru had tried to save her. He had gotten wounded and the other demons had blocked his way to her. She had found herself from a village with old women and farmers. There she had been living back then.
And when her adoption grandma had fallen ill, she had wished Rin to go the nearest city and find a good husband. She had promised Grandma to fulfill her last request and left.
But now, when she looked at her picture and thought about the past and the future, she didn't know anymore. She had still hoped someday she would get back to Jaken and Sesshomaru, but now it all seemed to be lost. She was going to be a wife, and it was already about ten years.
'I wonder would he recognize me after all those years.' She though.
Suddenly she heard voices from the bushes nearby and turned scared. There was moving something. She prepared herself and asked: "Who's there?"
The voices got louder and she started to be scared. Then there came a creature she couldn't have ever imagined –or hoped to come.
"Aun?" She asked, confused and happy.
Then she ran to Aun and hugged it, with tears of joy in her eyes. She knew the others were near. Maybe she could see them before continuing.
"Aun! Where did that stupid creature go?" She heard a voice saying, and then he came from bush.
"Jaken! Oh man I've been missing you!" Rin shouted and plunged to hug Jaken too.
"Wha... Rin? Could it be our little Rin?" Jaken asked very confused.
"Yes, it's me! How have you been doing?" Rin asked.
"Just well, just well... oh, you've grown a lot." Jaken said and looked up at smiling Rin.
"It's ten years since the last time. Of course I've grown." Rin answered and giggled like a little girl, which Jaken once had known. Now that little girl was an adult.
"Aun must have smelled you." Jaken thought.
"Where's Sesshomaru?" Rin asked eagerly. She wanted so much to see him.
Jaken's face turned sad, and that made Rin afraid. She had and awful feeling that something bad had happened and she wouldn't see him anymore.
"What is it?" She asked. "Is he okay? Jaken?"
"We were in a battle." Jaken started. "Against giant poison spiders. There were thousands of them. Sesshomaru-sama got poisoned and couldn't fight. The spiders injured him badly."
Rin was shocked. "Oh my God... is there any chances for him to survive?"
"I'm afraid not. He don't know the antidote and neither know I." Jaken answered.
"Maybe I can help him." Rin suggested. "Maybe I will find out what the antidote is and bring it to him, and then everything will be okay."
"Are you sure you could know?" Jaken asked with a little hope.
"Grandma taught me very much. I might be helpful." Rin said.
Jaken sighed. "If you think it really helps... I'll take you to him."
They climbed on Aun's back and started their trip to the forest, towards a very big oak in the middle of it. Rin was afraid what would wait her there.
"By the way, where were you going just now?" Jaken asked after a while.
"I... nowhere. Just walking." Rin answered, deciding to keep the marriage a secret.
