Chapter 6: An Old Friend

"How...how do you know my name?"

"I am Raidon. We have met before. Though you were no more than six the last time we met."

"Oh," Rin whispered, to the amusement of Raidon.

"How did you come to be in my study Rin?"

"Can you please not call me that? My name is Shuurin."

"Shuurin? Well then, same question as before?"

"I saw the light and opened the door."

"Are with Sesshoumaru's traveling group?"

Rin shrugged, "More or less. At least Shuurin is with them."

"Aw, I see."

There is a knock on the door of Raidon's study. "Come in." The door opens and Sesshoumaru walks in.

Hm how very odd he seems not to have heared anything that was said. Raidon thinks.

"Raidon, a word." Sesshoumaru looks up and sees Rin standing in front of Raidon's desk. "Shuurin why are you here?"

"I was talking to Master Raidon."

There is something oddly familiar about her. "Are you leaving or staying?"

"I would like you to stay. Have a seat. Or stand which ever you prefer." Raidon said when Rin glared at him.

"Now Lord Sesshoumaru what is it you would like to know?"

"Where is Kamavirya?"

"Hm, the last I heared he was in the southeast close to the demon slayers village of Nami. He was said to have attacked the village and had almost killed a young girl of about eleven, I believe it was. I think you know her to Lord Sesshoumaru. Her name was Rin."

Sesshoumaru shot a death glare at Raidon, when he said this. Rin glanced from Sesshoumaru to Raidon then back to Sesshoumaru once more.

"How long ago was she killed?" Sesshoumaru breathed; there was no emotion on his face or in his voice at all.

"It took place six or so years ago, but Rin was not killed."

"Do you or do you not know where Kamavirya is?"

"I do and I do not. As I say the last known attack from him was about six years ago. How ever it has been rumored that he has been seen in the East." Sesshoumaru nodded and turned to leave Rin and already walked out the door when Raidon called out to Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru, some things are closer than they first appear and it takes longer to recognize them for what they truly are."

As they approached the hallway which held the rooms they stayed in, Sesshoumaru spoke. "Tell Kagome that we leave at midnight."

That was all he said as he turned and continued down the long hallway. Rin stared after him. He is still truly the same as he was seven years ago. Except for the fact that he can't recognize me. Have I truly changed that much? No, that can't be if I had then how could Master Raidon have recognized me? It just doesn't make any sense. Rin opened the door to her room and stepped inside.
