Thanks for the reviews! I didn't go to school today so I worked on this... ALL DAY! I hope you like it! There's a lot of voices. I do not own Inuyasha, but soon oh yes very soon...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day, a little after Rin turned seven she was suddenly very happy, she still wasn't talking but after she had stopped talking she only smiled very rarely. So everyone was welcome to this change. After perpetually smiling for about a month she began talking again. It started out in just small choppy sentences, but eventually she was talking more than she had before she had gone mute.
(Meanwhile with Sesshomaru)
'Hey, guess what?' Voice Two asked.
'What?' Voice Three asked
'No! You have to guess!'
'You finally remembered what you wanted to tell us last night?' Voice One asked.
FLASHBACK OF LAST NIGHTSesshomaru was lying in his bed holding a pillow up around his head trying to tune out the voices in his head– it wasn't working well.
'Hey, something's going to happen!' Voice Two said.
'Be quiet,'
'What's going to happen?' Voice one asked.
'Silence.'
'I don't know but something is going to happen sometime soon!' Voice Two said.
'Cease making disturbances.'
'How can you know something is going to happen soon when you do not know what that something is?' Voice Three asked.
'Suppress the need to think!'
'I already told you I don't know!' Voice Two said.
'Well if you remember tell us!' Voice Three said.
'SILENCE!'
BACK TO TODAY 'So what's supposed to happen soon?' Voice One asked. 'Rin!' Voice Two said proudly.This caught Sesshomaru's attention, 'What do you mean "Rin"?'
'She's seven now! She's going to regain her speech soon!' voice Two said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
'Hey, that reminds me… Nine years, Sesshy!' Voice Three said.
'Aren't you proud Sesshy? You've been stuck with us for two years and you still have your sanity, although it is a tad less than what it was before…' Voice One said.
'You should know by know that Fluffy is always proud. It's his pride that made Aku give us to him again!' Voice Two said.
'That's right Sessh! If it weren't for your pride you would still have all your sanity! Ha ha! …Sessh!… Sesshy!… Fluffy!' "SESSHOMARU!" Voice three suddenly yelled out of Sesshomaru's mouth.
'What do you want? If you did not notice I was ignoring you.'
"Well I did notice and I must say it is very rude!' Voice Three said.
'Using someone else's mouth to get one's attention is also considered rude.'
'Well you're alone in your study, so it's not like anyone can hear you! It doesn't matter anyway, thanks to us everyone here already thinks you're insane!' Voice Three said.
'Be silent, I respect placidity.'
'That's a shame,'(Two Years later with Rin)
Rin was sitting in front of a mirror while her mother brushed her hair. Rin looked almost exactly like she had when she was a human except that now Rin had pointed ears, fangs, and claws. Not to mention a whole lot of other demon powers. It was Rin's ninth birthday and Rin hadn't mentioned any of her dreams since she had stopped being mute. Then suddenly Rin broke the silence.
"Mother, it's like I'm in another life. Everything is so real; my dreams are all tied together, when one leaves me one night it picks up at the same spot in the next dream with the same demons and everything. Sometimes it's like I'm watching it, but then other times it's like everything is happening to me."
" 'Demons' Rin you told me that in your dreams you lived in a human village with other humans." Tasan said.
"I used to, then they were all slaughtered, my parents, my brothers, and all the villagers. Only few escaped and I was taken to live in a different human village, this one wasn't kind and didn't like orphans. I was beaten often and I usually spent most of my time in the woods as far away from it as possible,"
Tasan felt sorry for what the original Rin had gone through in her life, "Did this happen when you were a mute?"
"Yes, but then one day when I was in the woods I came across a wounded demon, at first he frightened me but I brought him food, which he refused. But a few days after I found him, when I was in the village, it was attacked by a wolf demon and his pack of wolves. I quickly went to run to him, for I knew he would be strong enough to protect me but alas I tripped and fell and was then killed by the wolves. When I awoke he was there, holding me up in his arm. Then he stood up and started walking away, I followed him and then the small imp, named Jaken, followed him as well. And now I still follow him, sometimes we stay at his castle but we also travel a lot."
"Rin what is the demon's name?"
"What?"
"The demon who saved you, you never spoke his name, do you know what it is?"
Rin looked down, "No, I speak it in my dream all the time yet when I wake up I cannot remember it,"
"Well then, can you describe him to me?"
"He is the most handsome demon I have ever seen. He has long white hair. Most of the time he is wearing white with a furry pelt over his right shoulder. He does not have a left arm for it was cut off by his younger brother. He has demonic markings on his face and on his right wrist. He also shows almost no emotion. He is a great and powerful demon. He protects me and I serve him and love him."
Tasan dropped the brush and it clattered to the floor. "What did you just say?"
"I said that I love him mother, I know that it is silly for he is just a character in my dreams but I do love him." Rin said.
"Rin, how do you love him? Is it the love that you have for your father or a friend?"
"Neither mother, it is stronger. I believe it is more like the love you and father share."
Tasan was trying to suppress her shock, "And does he return these feelings?"
Rin looked down at her hands, "I do not know,"
Just then there was a knock at the door, "Enter," Tasan said.
A servant came in and bowed, "Lady Tasan, and Lady Rin, Lady Aku has arrived and wishes to see you both."
"Very well, Rin come along." Tasan said and then Rin and her left Rin's room and went to greet Aku.
"Lady Aku, what do you want here?" Tasan asked as she entered the room that only had her, Rin, and Aku in it.
"I simply came to wish Rin a happy birthday and to give her a few presents."
It was only then that Rin and Tasan realized that Aku was holding two packages. She handed the smaller one to Rin and said, "This one is from me,"
As soon as Rin felt the package she realized what it was, it was hard, shaped like a rectangle and was about two or three inches thick…a book. Aku always gave Rin books as gifts. Rin took off the paper and said, "Oh thank you Lady Aku!"
"Before you give me this false praise, please read the title of the book?" Aku said. Rin looked down at the cover of the book and it said, 'The Family Line of the Great Dog Demons.'
Rin gave Aku a questioning look. "Look at the last page." As Rin flipped to the last page she saw that there were pictures of the demons in it as well. When she made it to the last page she saw a picture of herself as she looked now, and above her where pictures of her parents.
"Rin this is a special book, it changes as the family line changes, if someone gets a new scar on their face it will show on their picture in this book. If someone grows older then it shows in here. If someone dies, their death date will appear in this book. If someone has a child then its picture will appear in this book. I entrust it to you to protect it. Can you do that?"
Rin looked down at her picture with a newfound respect for the book, "Yes, you have my word that no harm will befall this book."
"Good! Now then I have this gift from someone else who wishes they could be here right now." Aku said handing the larger package to Rin. Rin set the book down gently on a near by table and then she took the package. It felt soft like cloth wrapped in paper. Rin opened it and gasped when she saw a lovely light pink kimono with a flower print on it. She didn't gasp because it was beautiful; she gasped because in her dream last night the demon had given her the exact same kimono.
"L- Lady A- Aku who gave this to you to give to me?"
"Sorry Rin, but I can't give you his name!" Aku said making her way to the door.
"Wait!" Rin called after her but Aku was already gone.
Rin then gathered her two new things and said, "Mother may I be excused? And return to my room?"
"Yes, Rin," Tasan said and Rin quickly made her way out of the room and up the stairs to her room.
As soon as Rin was alone in her room she locked her door and put the book down on her bed. She held up the kimono in front of her. It was exactly the same. She quickly brought it to her nose and inhaled deeply she smelled the faint scent of Aku, but that probably just got on it from when Aku had been holding it. Rin also smelled to other scents one was similar to Rin's scent now except… human? How did that work? The other scent was so familiar but she couldn't place it. She knew she had smelled it somewhere before.
'But where?' Rin threw the kimono down on her bed and then she sat down next to it. She sat on something hard. She got up and saw that she had sat on the book Aku had just given her.
Rin smiled at the irony of it, 'I promise not to let any harm befall this book, and then I sit on it.' Rin picked up the book and flipped to last page where she looked at the page of her father. He had left a few weeks ago to go meet with some demon that they hadn't told Rin the name of. 'He still doesn't know that mother is pregnant with another child,' Rin thought to herself. Rin then closed the book.
'Safe place, safe place' Rin thought to herself, 'I need to put it in a safe place where it won't be stolen and it won't get anything on it…' Rin ended up sticking the book in the back of her drawer that held all her night gowns in it. She covered it up with the kimonos so it wouldn't be easily seen.
Then went back to her bed, she picked up the kimono and smelled it again, the third scent, the one she couldn't place, was so familiar. 'Where have I smelt it before!' She couldn't stand the fact that she didn't know. She hung up the kimono in her closet and then she lied down on her bed, 'Maybe after a nap I will be able to remember.' She thought to herself.
DREAM TIME
"Master Jaken, do you like my new kimono?" Rin asked as she did a small twirl in her kimono that her Lord gave to her. "Why would I care you foolish human?" Jaken yelled at her. "Well you should care, Lord Sesshomaru gave it to her," Rin's maid Migoto said to him as she walked in Rin's room and stepped on Jaken. "Oops! Jaken I didn't see you down there!"Jaken quickly got up and said, "You are just a hand maid! You are NOT allowed to talk to me that way!"
"Well Jaken if I actually had to look up to you I might show you some respect!" Migoto said.
Migoto and Jaken continued yelling at one another and Rin just stood back she decided she would come in and stop the fight right before Migoto killed Jaken.
"What are you two bickering about?" A cold voice from the door way said.
The two stopped dead and Migoto dropped Jaken to the floor with a thud. Migoto then threw herself to the floor in a deep bow and said, "I apologize Lord Sesshomaru, but I was defending Rin for Jaken was being rude to her."
"Migoto, remember your station, and show respect."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru," Migoto said and then she quickly got up and left the room
"Rin,"
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Come with me,"
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru" Rin said and followed him.
After a few moments of silence Sesshomaru stopped and turned to face Rin, the he said, "Rin, we will be leaving in a few days."
"Yes, my Lord!" Rin said then she turned and started walking back to her room, but she was stopped by a cold voice.
"Rin,"
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked turning around to face him.
"Do you like your new kimono?"
"Yes, my Lord. It is the most beautiful one I have ever own!"
"Very well." Sesshomaru said and then he walked past her. As he walked past her Rin got a whiff of his scent. And then she woke up.
DREAMTIME IS OVER!
"Lady Rin you need to get up!" a servant said to Rin.
Rin tried to remember his name and his scent, but she couldn't all she could remember was the fight between Migoto and Jaken, the handsome demon telling her they would be leaving the castle soon and then him asking her if she liked her kimono.
"Damn," she said aloud. (Okay little nine-year-old princess saying 'damn' not exactly good manners.)
"Lady Rin, what did you just say?" the servant asked her.
"Nothing, now then why do I have to get up?" Rin asked.
"Your father has returned, I suggest you brush your hair and put a different kimono on."
"Alright, I'll be down in a few minutes." Rin said and the servant left her. Rin looked out the window, gosh! So much for wanting to take a short nap it was almost sunset!
Rin went over to her mirror, Ugh! Complete bed head. She quickly grabbed the brush that her mother had dropped on the earlier and began to get the knots out of her long hair.
As she continued brushing her hair she went over to her closet and saw that the nicest kimono she had was her 'new' one. She quickly changed her clothes and finished brushing her hair, and then she left her room to greet her father.
"Father!" Rin yelled and then she ran up to her father and gave him a hug, "Father I missed you!" She then smelled a familiar scent on her father, it was the same scent her kimono she pulled away from him and asked, "Father, where did you go?"
Her father laughed nervously and said, "Rin, you don't need to worry about it. I just went to go prepare things with the Lord of the Western Land."
"Prepare what things, Father?" Rin asked.
"Things you don't need to worry about just yet." He said.
She was about to ask why not when he said, "Rin, your mother just told me she is expecting, we should celebrate tonight."
"Yes, father," Rin said.
(With Sesshomaru. Three years later.)
The door to Sesshomaru's study burst open and Aku burst in.
Sesshomaru didn't even look up; having three voices in your head made you pretty immune to being surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm… um… hiding?"
Sesshomaru almost shook his head and almost sighed, (the voices hadn't made him that insane yet!) "From what?"
"Well you see pretty soon Rin is going to have a dream with me in it and I looked into the future and her mother is going to go nuts and send about fifty soldiers over to my house,"
"Cave," Sesshomaru corrected her.
"Yeah, cave, whatever. Look Sesshomaru I am staying here with you until after Rin remembers getting married."
"Stay with Roiyaru, few people know of your relationship." Sesshomaru said.
"I can't do that because they know about Roiyaru! Yours is the last house they are going to go to looking for me, I checked it out. I am staying here!"
Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to the door, "No, you're not."
Aku got up and stood in front of Sesshomaru, "I don't think three voices is enough maybe you should get a few more talkative ones,"
Sesshomaru glared at her, "You may stay, but the day she remembers the wedding, you will leave."
"But of course, Fluffy!" Aku said.
If possible Sesshomaru gave her an even colder glare, "Jaken,"
Jaken who had been listening outside the door yelped and said, "Y-yes my Lord?"
"Show Aku to an extra room."
"Yes, my Lord," Jaken said and then left and had Aku follow after him.
Sesshomaru then went and sat where he had been before Aku came in.
'You do realize that if anyone finds out that Aku was staying here there will be rumors, don't you?' Voice one asked.
'Why do you think I did not want her here in the first place?'
'Personally I think that we could use a few more voices in here, it's getting pretty boring talking to the same beings everyday!' voice Three said.
'Thanks a lot!' Voice one said.'Oh I didn't mean anything by it! I just…' Voice three said
'Hey guys I just thought of something!' voice Two said.
'What?' Sesshomaru asked.
'If Rin remembers things in her dreams that happened around her same age when she was alive then what going to happen in her four year gap?' Voice Two asked.
'Explain,' Sesshomaru said.
'Okay, she was twelve and then her body's age jumped from twelve to sixteen so is she going to have a four year gap where she doesn't have any memories, or does it go by her minds age so she'll just be remebering things that happened while she looked sixteen?' Voice Two thought
'Good question you should ask Aku' Voice Three said.
'Alright!' Voice Two said.
"AKU!" Sesshomaru's voice yelled.
'Not now you dolt!' Sesshomaru hissed at voice Two.'Sorry, but I want to know!' Voice Two said.
"Yes, Sesshomaru? or should I say 'Yes, Voice two?'"Voice Two over took Sesshomaru's mouth once again and asked his question to which Aku answered.
"She will remember things with her minds age." And then Aku left.
