Chapter Six...
A new day,a new day to see her love again. Young Kaede ran through the fields,dismissing her chores and such. She deserved some time to be with Jinny,the 'cute' little nickname she had given the boy. She liked him for his personality,how brave he was,how he smiled at her,and because of his blazing red hair...the color of fire.
Fire...
"Jinny!" Kaede yelled,poking her head through a hole in a cave.
She wrinkled her nose in disgust as a rat scurried past her and she lifted a leg up in disgust,looking into the cave uneasily. Maybe he was out hunting for food again..since he was an orphan. She sighed and looked down,kicking a rock. She had gotten a new kimono and she skipped her work to see him. Kikyo wouldn't like this,then again,she wouldn't like Jinny either...so she decided that if Kikyo wouldn't respect her love then she wouldn't like Inu-Yasha either. She had tested Kikyo out to see what her reaction would be if she know Kaede loved someone. It wasn't pleasent.
She started to enter the cave then she felt someone grab her hand and she let out a scream,scared. She was roughly turned around by Jin,and when she looked into the young boy's sky blue eyes,she knew instantely who it was. Her heart skipped a beat as she smiled lovingly at Jin,seeing his cheeks turn a dark red. She giggled and hugged him,sighing.
"I was worried,Jinny." She murmered softly.
"I was just hunting,sheesh!" Jin said,pulling away,a wide grin on his face."I found a witche's cave,Kae'-sama. She was asleep but something made me want to wake her up. A feeling of power,Kae'! My destiny lies within that witch,I know it!"
The twelve-year-old's girls widened and she let out a startled gasp,"Jinny! No! She could kill you!" She said,sounding worried.
Jin only smirked,shaking his head.They made up nicknames for each other and he did love Kaede with all his heart but he despised the nickname she had given him. Jinny..It sounded like Jenny,and that was a girl name! He ran a hand through his fire red hair,wondering why he was made so differently,why he was made so..so..cursed. His father,Riaku,commited suicide after Jin turned one,telling his mother,Yunial,that the Gods needed him. What a lie...and when Jin was eight his mother was killed by a demon...but he was saved by a monk named Mushin and a ten year old named Miroka...Miroku,ah,yes,Miroku saved him. It was mostly the monk Mushin's help through,it seemed Miroku was just being trained.
"Jinny?" Kaede's desperate voice dragged him out of his memories and he looked at the girl.
"Kae' be quiet now. I'll do what I want!" Jin snapped,glaring.
"Jinny.." Tears filled the young priestesse's eyes and her bottom lip quivered.
Kaede wiped away her tears,letting out a breath,smiling sadly. She bowed and apologized,knowing how rude he could get if he didn't get his way. He was only one year older than her,and she had told him they were going to get married,little did she know that would never happen. She rested her forehead on his shoulder,smiling slightly. "I love you,Jinny." She murmered,sighing,smiling.
Jin sighed and stroked her hair,murmering sweet things to her,about how wonderful her life would be when he grew more powerful. He pulled her away from him,looking straight into her brown eyes,finding joy in them.
"You should come with me."
"What?" Kaede gasped,looking startled.
"I said you should come with me. We'll become demons,Kae',we'll live forever,we'll never grow old and ugly."
"Jinny.."
"I'm leaving at dusk,Kae'-sama,you either come or stay." He said,seriously.
Jin turned away from her,crossing his arms against his chest,a habit of his when he was nervous,angry,or scared. He glanced at her,watching her stare at the ground. She was so beautiful. He turned and kissed her without warning,showing her how much he loved her...he feared he would not survive. He felt her heart rate quicken and then she wrapped her arms around his neck. The feeling was sensational.
The young boy pulled away,letting out a small laugh."You should be heading back now,Kikyo-sama is most likely looking for you." He said,watching the young girl nod and then leave,running. He smiled,imagining their wedding day.
She was gone..
After that,they never saw each other again...
Until that one fateful day...

Done,finally.
I just thought a look into the past would betterhelp explain Jin and Kaede's relationship when they were kids.
