Love Grows Through Time

Chapter One

Is there anything in this life more beautiful then flowers? I've always pondered on this question. No matter the color the sent, or the amount of petals they contain, each one just provides another example of the diversity of nature. My mother would always pick flowers for me when i was only a small child, and maybe without even realizing i developed this mannerism from her.

I twirled a purple wild flower between my thumb and finger as a slight breeze blew across my shoulders, pushing my hair out in front of my face.

"Rin!"

It was Emiko. I've been staying with her for a long time now. I guess i should really say I'm living with her, but i cant remember how this arrangement became so permanent. I sighed hearing her voice from behind me, not wanting to move from my current position with the sun so warm on my toes. I was more then happy when she decided to take a seat next to me, rather then make me move.

"your up early today, and a nice day it appears to be"

not feeling the need to respond, i moved my hands behind my head laying amongst the long grass, which now almost passed my face.

"i think we should depart today, yes?" she moved her face directly in front of mine, her short brown hair swaying down past her face.

"yes, i think today is a good day to leave" i smiled up at her, we had been at this village longer then we intended anyway.

"where are we headed then?" Emiko always decided where we ventured, she was older after all, almost like my older sister.

"the lady back at the village mentioned a demon in the village north of here, we shall head that way"

i sighed, "another exorcism? That seems to be all we're doing lately"

"all I'm doing!" she corrected "but i do suppose your ready"

"I've been ready for far too long Emiko, I'm not a child any longer"

"indeed, how time passes.."

Ever since the night Emiko found me so many years ago, she took me in and supported me. Helping me develop spiritual abilities, through the knowledge gained during her miko training, while also enhancing her own strength. But Emiko was more then a teacher, we were family. With us both losing our parents to war and myself being once again abandoned by my protector, we found comfort in each others presence, and taught each other much about life.

There was a long silence as i stared up into the trees, the sun escaping through the leaves.

"your doing it again Rin"

"doing what?" i rolled my eyes, hoping she didn't notice.

"thinking"

"and what is wrong with thinking?" i turned on my side to face her playfully, hoping she would be satisfied with the extra attention i was now giving her.

"oh, there is nothing wrong with thinking, its who your thinking about!"

"oh.." i felt my face get hot. This was stupid, you would have thought by now i would have forgotten all about him, and now so many years later, i still cant erase his memory from my mind.

"you cant wait for him forever!"

"i know.."

"he left you Rin... Remember that"

i smiled "..and you saved me Emiko" she was trying to help me, i knew that. But as the same time, she just didn't understand.

there was another silence and the miko stood stretching her out arms. The mark of her body present in the flattened grass, beside me.

"well.. i guess we should get going, before the sun rises any higher"

i turned looking back up into the trees.

'you wouldn't leave me.. would you Sesshoumaru?'
