Chapter 3: Remembering the Past
Rin's Dream
The sky over head is blue, the clouds as white as snow. Rin is picking flowers, for her demon lord. Standing in the trees unseen and unknown to Rin is a powerful demon. He watches her as she goes on picking her flowers. The demon shifts as he smells Lord Sesshoumaru, the son of the great dog demon Inutaisho.
Why would Sesshoumaru be interested in a human child? What is she to him, who hates humans so? Why has he not yet attacked? Why does he just stand there watching her? The demon freezes as the little girl turns to were Sesshoumaru is standing.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," she yelled as ran towards him flowers still in hand. "I picked you some flowers, my lord." Sesshoumaru looks down at her showing no emotion what so ever.
"Come, Rin," he says as he turns leaving the little girl to follow after him.
Rin, he called her Rin. I wonder if she might be used against him. What could Sesshoumaru what with a human? I will have to wait and see what can be done about this Rin. Why was she picking flowers for him?

Sesshoumaru's Thoughts
As the others drift of to sleep Sesshoumaru lets his thoughts turn to Shuurin. Why did she leave her village? What is she trying to hide? Why does she look familiar? I don't know her scent though there is somethin familiar about it I just don't know what. She smells a little like Rin.
Rin. We're close to the village of Nami; I could always go there and make sure that she is safe. No, that would be a bad idea Nami would not forgive me if Rin begged to return with me.
Sesshoumaru mind is suddenly brought back to that day years ago in a flower filed.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, I picked you some flowers." Rin said as she held them out to him. He stared down at her before turning.
"Come, Rin," He said.
Come Rin, that was all he ever had to say and she would come. He could still see the hurt and confusion on her face that day seven years ago when he had left her with Nami. Was she safe? Was she happy? He sighed; he really needed to stop thinking about that. He couldn't just turn up in that village to see if Rin was safe and happy. Not after what it had taken him to get Nami to protect her. What he needed was to finish what he had agreed to help Inuyasha do and get back to his lands in the West. Then he would worry about that.
This decided Sesshoumaru leaned back to stare up at the star filled sky.
