The next morning Rin awoke to fine a bight sunny day. She slowly got out of bed and remember that her dad was going to teach her how to act when travelling with him to the south or the north. Rin couldn't wait so she got change and headed downstairs.

Rin saw that Jaken and her father was taking about something. So Rin enter quite loudly for that matter. Sesshomaru glance over to see Rin was up and he signed.

" Rin, when you enter a room you must be silence," said Sesshomaru.

" Oh sorry," said Rin.

" Come, lets eat," said Sesshomaru.

Rin took her spot at the seat to the left side of Sesshomaru.

" Rin," said Sesshomaru.

" Yes," said Rin.

" I have sent for the lord and lady along with their son to come here to speck with me," said Sesshomaru.

" Ok?" said Rin not understanding where he was going.

" I will be teaching you how to act around them. Although Lady Yoko is normally very friendly to fellow lords," said Rin.

" Father?" asked Rin.

" Yes?" asked Sesshomaru.

" How did the east and west war begin?" asked Rin.

" That is a long story, one I am not up to telling right now," said Sesshomaru.

So as they ate Sesshomaru told Rin how to eat properly like sitting up straight, letting the food come to her. What things to talk about and what not to talk about. Soon their meal was finish.

" Ok, Rin when the meal is over I want you to say, well if you will excuse me I think that I will retire to the garden," said Sesshomaru.

" But why?" asked Rin.

" Because it shows a lot of respect and I can gesture for you to take their young son with you," said Sesshomaru.

" Ok," said Rin.

So the day continue with Rin learning how to bow to people right. How to walk, sit and speck. Rin had to admit this wasn't much fun but it was better then sitting here all the time waiting for him to return.

Soon 2 whole weeks of practising had past and it was the morning when the Lord and Lady was to show up. Rin took a bath, bush her hair and put on the new komodo that her father had brought for her.

She walked into the living room and saw her father had on his best komodo as well. Sesshomaru looked over at Rin and nodded saying that she looked great. Soon he sense the lord power.

" Rin, I want you to stay here until I call for you," said Sesshomaru.

" Yes father," said Rin.

Sesshomaru walked out into the main hall and stood there as Jaken brought in the Lord and Lady along with their child.

" I'm glad you could come!" said Sesshomaru.

" I am glad to be invited Lord Sesshomaru," said Lord Yoshi.

" Come," said Sesshomaru.

So they walked into the room where he left Rin to see her sitting very nicely waiting for them. When they enter Rin got up and walked over.

" Who is this Lord Sesshomaru?" asked Lord Yoshi.

" This is my daughter Rin, Rin this is Lord Yoshi and Lady Yoko from the north and their son Yoshiko," said Sesshomaru.

" Please to meet all of you," said Rin as she bow the way her father slowed her.

" What a lovely daughter you have there Lord Sesshomaru," said Lady Yoko.

" Thank-you!" said Sesshomaru. " Rin why don't you take Yoshiko out to see Ah-Un!"

" Of course," said Rin.

" Mother, may I?" asked Yoshiko.

" Yes, but stay with Rin," said Lady Yoko.

So Rin and Yoshiko walked out of the room and Sesshomaru gesture for the Lady and Lord to have a seat.

" She seems like a well brought up lady," said Lord Yoshi.

" Yes, she does," said Lady Yoko.

" Yes, she takes after her mother for that," said Sesshomaru.

" Yes, I was sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you and Demona. She was a amazing demon." said Lord Yoshi.

" Yes, so was I but I have Rin and that makes up for most of the pain," said Sesshomaru.

" So is the east and west still at war?" asked Lord Yoshi.

" I am sorry to say that we are. I thought my union with Demona would stop it," said Sesshomaru.

" You two always were specking against the war. If only she had survive then the war may have been put to an end," said Lord Yoshi.

" If my uncle hadn't gotten into it, then it would have been so," said Sesshomaru.

" What do you mean?" asked Lady Yoko.

" I found out 2 years ago that my uncle order Demona death. I knew that with Rin she couldn't fight like she would have before and he took that time to kill her and hand Rin off to the nearest village. I only recently found her and broke the spell placed on her," said Sesshomaru.

" Poor Demona," said Lady Yoko.

" Yes, and I'm sorry to see that," said Lord Yoshi.

" It doesn't matter!" said Sesshomaru. " What I need to worry about is ending this war!"

" Yes, if only the east would speck with us but the east doesn't talk to us nor the south," said Lord Yoshi.

Meanwhile Rin and Yoshiko arrived to the barn where Ah-Un was kept.

" Good morning Ah-Un!" said Rin walking over and lightly petting him.

" Ah-Un?" asked Yoshiko.

" Ya, my father got him for me to ride a long time ago. He is a good friend to us," said Rin being careful of what she said.

" Why couldn't you keep up with him?" asked Yoshiko.

" Not really after all he is a powerful demon," said Rin.

Rin grew silence with that. Even he would have to agree to that.

" So where is your mom?" asked Yoshiko.

Rin stop petting Ah-Un and wonder what she was going to say.

" She no longer living," said Rin.

" What happen to her?" asked Yoshiko.

" I don't know. I was still a baby when she was killed," said Rin.

Soon she saw Jaken walked over.

" Hello Jaken," said Rin.

" Good morning Mistress Rin," said Jaken.

" Is everything ok?" asked Rin.

" Yes, quite. Your father is just specking with the lord and lady. So he asked me to keep an eye on you," said Jaken.

Rin knew that Jaken was putting on a mask, considering he never called her mistress and he was never this happy to look after her. Rin slowly sat down on Ah-Un and look at Yoshiko.

The day soon past by and Rin wasn't making friends with Yoshiko. They were always waiting for something to happen and he was always asking her question, most of them she didn't have a clue how to answer. Lucky Jaken was there to help her out. Soon it was dinner time.

Rin change into a better outfit and walked into the Dinning room. She walked over to her spot. She waited for her father to sit down and the lord and Lady before doing the same. Rin ate her food very politely and waited for the food to be brought to her.

" Lord Sesshomaru," said Yoshiko.

Rin turned her head to see what was on his mind.

" Yes?" asked Sesshomaru.

" I was just wondering who Rin's mother is?" asked Yoshiko. " I asked Rin but she said she didn't know."

" Yoshiko," said Lady Yoko. " Now is not the time."

Sesshomaru looked at Rin who was eating like she was told and sitting very straight.

" Her mother was a black Fairy," said Sesshomaru.

" A black fairy but aren't they from the east?" asked Yoshiko.

" Yoshiko. During the war Sesshomaru fell in love with Demona and they went to great length to stop the war," said Lord Yoshi.

Rin only half listen to this. She never really wonder about her mom. Why should she? She had everything she wanted here. Her mom was a person who she only dream about but she didn't dare telling her dad this.

Soon Rin was finish and she looked at her father.

" Well if you will excuse me, I think I will retire to the garden," said Rin.

" Alright," said Sesshomaru.

" Would you like to join me Yoshiko?" asked Rin.

" May I?" asked Yoshiko.

" Yes," said Lord Yoshi.

So Rin and Yoshiko walked out of the room and Sesshomaru took his last bite.

" Sorry about my son rudeness," said Lord Yoshi.

" It's quite alright," said Sesshomaru who was used to strange questions now.

Sesshomaru got out a cup of the finest wine and pour out a small glass for himself andfor the Lord and Lady. They sat and listen to the sound of the land. They watch Rin and Yoshiko sat and watch the sunset.

Soon it was getting late and the Lord and Lady was getting ready to leave.

" You two will have to come to our castle soon," said Lady Yoko.

" Thank-you prehaphs we will soon," said Sesshomaru.

" It was an honor to meet you," said Rin as she bowed.

" As was it for you," said Lord Yoshi. " Lord Sesshomaru."

" Yes," said Sesshomaru.

" You should be very proud. You have raise a lovely young lady," said Lord Yoshi.

" I am!" said Sesshomaru.

Rin felt her heart melt at that. He was proud of her. Soon the Lord and Lady along with their son was gone and Rin sign. It was a lot of work keeping a image.

" I'm proud of you Rin. It took me 4 tries before I could do that perfectly," said Sesshomaru.

Rin made sure that none was around and hugged him. What surprise her was he lightly hugged her back.
