I do not own Inuyasha.

"Lady Rin, wake up!" Rin's handmaid yelled at Rin, jerking her awake.
"What do you want?" Rin asked, and turned over in her bed away from the light coming in through the window.
"Lady Rin, you were moaning in your sleep, I assumed you were having a bad dream." The handmaid said.
Since Rin had her back to the servant, the servant did not see the scowl on Rin's face, 'A Bad Dream. As if! It was my wedding night you fool! And you ruined it!'
Rin turned over and sat up in her bed, "Leave me, and do not ever interrupt my rest again unless it is something of great importance."
"Yes, Lady Rin," the servant said and then she left Rin's room.
'Maybe if I go back to sleep my dream will continue? Wait no stop the bad thoughts! 12 12 12! I am only 12!'
'That may be so but in your dream you have the body of a sixteen year old' said a small voice in the back of her head. Against her better judgment Rin agreed with it and lied down so she could go back to sleep. She was just barely back in her dream when she heard a scream and she was woken up completely.
"I'll kill him, I don't care if he is flesh and blood I will kill him!" she yelled as she through the covers off her and then ran out of the room to find the source of the screaming.
She bolted through the castle at lightning fast speed, which she had just learned how to do days earlier. She suddenly stopped outside a door where the screaming was coming from. She pushed open the door and there sat her younger brother, Okkuu. (Okkuu wasn't his real name it was just what she called him. His real name was Goutsukubari or Goutsu for short.) (Note: Okkuu means annoying and Goutsukubari means pride)
Okkuu was three and he had black hair like Rin but unlike Rin's brown eyes, Okkuu's were mostly white with a tint of blue. (Like a husky's!)
As soon as he saw Rin he stopped screaming and giggled.
Rin's eyes grew red. "I'm going to slaughter you!"
Rin started charging at her brother then she felt someone grab her around her middle. Rin calmed down and turned around to see who it was.
"Lady Aku! What are you doing here? Mother has been searching for you everywhere!"
"I know which is why I was in hiding." Aku said. Then Aku got a strange look on her face, "So tell me Rin why were you so upset that I got your younger brother to wake you up? Were you having any good dreams?"
"I- I… um… yeah,"
"Oh really? What was your dream about?" Aku asked slyly.
"I… uh… don't remember what last night's was about." Rin lied.
"Rin you may look innocent, but that only shows what a bad liar you are." Aku said.
Rin's jaw dropped, "You! You were in my dream the night before last and you said the exact same thing!"
"Oh really?" Aku said.
"Yes!"
"Does that mean that last night, you dreamed about your wedding?"
"I- yes! How did you know?"
"Let's go to your room Rin, this is not something to talk about in front of your brother," Aku said pulling on Rin's arm and taking her to Rin's room. Aku went in and sat on Rin's bed and motioned for Rin to sit down as well. The whole thing seemed very familiar to Rin.
"So last night you dreamt about your wedding, and let me guess, your wedding night?"
Rin looked down she was very embarrassed, she also knew that if her mother found out Rin would probably never be allowed to go to sleep again.
"How do you know?" Rin asked.
"Rin, I'm a seer, I know everything I want to!" Aku said.
"Aku why couldn't we find you?"
"Because I was hiding?"
"Why?"
"Because I didn't want to explain to you why I was in your dream until after you remembered your wedding!"
"What do you mean 'remembered'?"
"What?"
"Why did you say that I had to 'remember' my wedding. It was a dream wasn't it?"
"I didn't say remember." Aku said.
"Yes you did,"
"No I didn't"
"Aku right now your as bad of a liar as I am,"
"Fine I'll tell you…" Aku took a deep breath and then lowered her voice, "I can't tell you now because your mother is going to open that door in 3.. 2.. 1"
"AKU!" Tasan shouted as she threw open the door, "why did you come here without announcing yourself?"
"I wanted to talk with Rin for a bit," Aku said, "before you chewed my ear off." She mumbled so only Rin could hear her.
"Where were you hiding?" Tasan yelled.
"I was staying as a guest at Sessh—I mean the Lord of the Western Lands home,"
"Why were you there?" Tasan yelled.
"Because I knew it was the one place you wouldn't look," Aku said smugly.
"That's it come with me!" Tasan said while walking up to Aku and grabbing her arm.
"But I didn't come here to talk with you! I came to talk with Rin!" Aku said trying to jerk her arm away from Tasan's grip.
"Aku you sound like a child, you can talk with Rin later. Come with me. NOW!" Tasan yelled.
"Fine I will! Gosh!" Aku said and got up and then Tasan lead her out of the room.
Rin was left alone in her room. Rin was in shock she had never heard her mother yell before. Rin lay back on her bed and thought about what Aku had said. Rin suddenly sat up straight in her bed Rin had heard others mention the Lord of the Western Land. She had yet to hear his name. She then remembered hearing the demon in her dream being called the Lord of the western Land. Aku had started to say his name; it was something that started with Sessh. It sounded familiar to her.
She went to her dresser and opened the drawer that had the book Aku had given to her in it. She took it and sat back down on her bed with it and started turning the pages slowly so she could see all the pictures of the demons in it. She had never really looked through it, all she knew was that there were two dog demon families in this book that intertwined closely together.
Rin suddenly gave a frustrated sigh and then turned the book over and restarted by going backwards through the book. No wonder all the names weren't familiar, all the demons she had been looking at had been dead for centuries. She couldn't tell because all of them looked like they were in their twenties, which Rin didn't understand because Aku had said that the pi8ctures aged along with the demon. So she decided to start by going through it youngest to oldest.
She kept flipping the pages until she saw him. The demon from her dreams, he was still alive and it said his name was Sesshomaru, "Lord Sesshomaru," she whispered. Next to his picture there was a picture of a young human woman, it said she was his wife, that she had been dead for the last twelve almost thirteen years, and that her name was Rin. Rin dropped the book, 'Is that what Aku meant? These aren't my dreams,' she looked down at the picture of the woman, the human Rin looked like an older version of her, 'they're her memories!'
