Chapter 1: 8 Years Later…

"Lord Sesshomaru!" shouted a now 16 year old Rin. She ran towards the great demon lord and embraced him tightly around his neck.

It's been eight years…Eight years since I was injured in the forest…Eight years since Rin helped me out a bit…Eight years since she died…Eight years since I brought her back to life…Eight years since she started to travel with Jaken and I…

It's been eight long years…Everything, even the demon lord's life has changed since eight years ago. Sesshomaru stole a glance from Rin, gawking at her appearance. Now instead of being a child, she was a fully grown up woman with beautiful silky long chestnut hair and entrancing chocolate eyes that anyone could get lost in.

Eight years…and she's already blossomed into a woman…Back years ago she used to be a child that would ask none stop questions about our journeys and such…But now, she's grown up and has grown mature through the years…

The demon lord couldn't help but embraced her back softly. It's been a month since he came back from the fight with another one of his father's old enemy. Despite the fact that he got seriously injured during battle, he came back without a scratch because of the demon blood coursing through his veins.

"Jaken…Rin…Let us go...We have no time to waste" He said spinning around in front of him and started to walk inside towards the forest. "My lord! Aren't you going to search for that demon girl we saw about Eight years ago?" the little imp asked. Sesshomaru didn't bother to look at him; his mind was focused on the road ahead of him. "What do you think I am doing Jaken? I have been looking for her ever since I saw her…" He said harshly.

The imp whimpered nodding slowly, already frightened by the tone of his voice. Rin walked next to her lord, looking around her, something inside her telling her that something wasn't right. "Lord Sesshomaru…Don't you feel that?" She asked turning to the great dog demon. His head was still facing forward, continuing to walk. "What do you sense nearby the area?" He asked emotionlessly.

"Well…My body feels heavier every step that I take more into the forest…and" she said trailing off as she heard a chuckle from behind the trees. "It's been a long, long time…hasn't it?" an all too familiar voice echoed throughout there surroundings.

Sesshomaru kept a straight face as he pulled out Tokijin from it's sheathe, holding it firmly in his hand. "Naraku…Show yourself, half breed" he said coldly, getting in front of Rin. From out of nowhere, Naraku came darting out of some bushes, throwing razor sharp daggers at the trio. As usual, Jaken was the first to run around screaming wildly, hiding behind a bold thick tree. Sesshomaru blocked every dagger coming his way with his sword skillfully without no effort; he knew Naraku was just toying with him.

"So I see you've gotten stronger, Lord Sesshomaru" Naraku whispered as he landed in front of Sesshomaru. Rin whimpered a bit backing up behind Sesshomaru, her hands on his shoulder. "Naraku…what do you want from us?" She asked fearfully. "Rin…I see you have grown into a beautiful young woman…" he said now behind the human mortal, slowly stroking her neck with his fingernails. She froze still, letting out whimpers from her lips, shaking in complete fear.

Sesshomaru growled a bit and turned around rather quickly and pointed the sword at the half demons neck. "If you do not escape these grounds, they will become your grave…".

"What made you go so soft, Lord Sesshomaru? Is it because of this mortal that you travel with?" He asked with a smirk planted on his face. Sesshomaru growled lowly, lunging towards him. Naraku laughed silently as he grabbed the sword with his own hand, while with the other, his nails grew longer and snaked themselves around Rin's body. "LORD SESSHOMARU!" She screamed as she was brought up into the air. She struggled to get loose from the demon's grasp, but her efforts were futail.

Sesshomaru glanced up at the sky as he saw her. He narrowed his eyes and looked back at Naraku. "Let her go!" He shouted, striking over at his hand, the one that kept Rin enclosed. "As you wish, you foolish demon!" He slowly let go of Rin, letting her fall towards the ground. Her screamed echoed in Sesshomaru's mind, his heart starting to race wildly. He tried to run to catch her, but failed. Naraku's fingers were wrapped around tightly around his legs and arms, keeping him from saving her. "Now you will witness Rin's death…before your very eyes".

A bright pale light appeared close by, snatching Rin from the air and bringing her to the ground softly. The pale light then turned into a figure; a demonic aura surrounding it. Rin opened her eyes slowly, glancing up at the woman, letting out a gasp. "It's you!".

The figure had beautiful long silver hair and fair skin color. She wore a black kimono with the symbol of 'war' on her back, a red ribbon around her waist to keep it from falling. The figure slowly rose up from the ground, slowly turning around. Sesshomaru's eyes widened a bit in surprise, but his mask of coldness kept him from any emotions revealing to anyone around him. "Surprised to see me Naraku?" the figure asked.

"You're that woman I saw in the hot springs eight years ago" Sesshomaru whispered to the girl. "Yes…I was that woman you saw…and you know who I am Sesshomaru…Because I know about you…from your birth till this day today" she said with a smirk on her face. "Naraku…what do you say? Why don't you let go of him right now? This place will be your grave".

"You'll have to do it…by force…".

She slowly took out her sword which resembled Tokijin itself, the same handle, the same shape of the blade, everything. Naraku released Sesshomaru and jumped high into the sky, disappearing from sight. "Weakling…too scared to even show your face in battle…What a weakling…and he calls himself a demon"

"Woman…Who are you?" Sesshomaru asked still keeping his Tokijin by his side. "Do you really want to know, Lord Sesshomaru…? Or should I say…Brother?" She asked with a devilish smirk. Rin gasped as her eyes widened a bit. What a minute…Did she just say brother?

"Don't be such a fool, woman…I have no sister…I have no father, for he is already dead because of my half breed brother Inuyasha" He said coldly. "You forget about me Sesshomaru…I'm quite disappointed in you…You see, just before our dear mother gave birth to you, they didn't realize that they were having another child right after Sesshomaru, thus being your twin. When I came into this world, I was with you in the gardens training at age four with swords, training to be a strong warrior just like father, Inutaisho" She explained as she leaned towards a tree looking at the sky.

"Then after, strong level demons came and kidnapped me…You managed to escape as I told you to go save yourself and fetch father since mother died at childbirth. Father and you came, but I was already gone…Its been too long since I last saw your face" She whispered softly to herself.

"No wonder you seemed strangely familiar to my eyes…So you're my twin sister…Heh, Inuyasha will be in for the surprise of his life" He said emotionlessly. "Yes…He will".

"Rin, this is my sister…Takara, as I finally remember her…Takara, this is Rin" He greeted walking away from the forest to keep roaming around the lands.

"It's so very nice to meet you Rin-sama" Takara said as she bowed towards the human mortal in front of her. "Likewise, my lady" She said bowing politely back. "Come travel with us Takara-sama…You'll love being with big brother! Let's go and hurry up before we get lost!" Rin announced. The demon nodded her head as she sniffed around the air. "I smell something fishy nearby…".

"MY LORD! WAIT UP! PLEASE!" The little imp came running out the trees. "And…who is this foolish demon traveling with my brother?" she asked Rin looking towards her. "That's Lord Sesshomaru's faithful servant, Master Jaken".

Wow…First brother travels with a little toad, and now a human mortal…He's really soften up these past few years I see…The only thing left is for him to fall in love with a mortal like my half brother Inuyasha…
