Sorry for the long wait...

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

I stood up running away...I couldn't stay any longer with those people or that thing.

To where?

I didn't know, I just wanted out of this and wherever I'm at and back home. I don't want to be here.

I wanted my mom and my sister...Mostly I wanted my old life back. Not having to run this much, not having your roof be torn off and a monster screaming at you for food. It was scary here. I didn't like it here in this dark forest. I tripped on roots getting dirt on my face, hair, and clothes. There's small cuts on my skin, it stung badly when grass hit the cuts. My choice of clothing isn't really helping this situation either. A blue skirt reaching my knees, black shirt covered by a now dirty dark green long sleeved hoody, and a black pair of booties.

Lost in thought I didn't notice the little girl sitting in a meadow of flowers in front of me until I tripped over her falling once again into the dirt. "Ah!" Giving a short scream before getting a mouthful of flowers and dirt. Spitting them out rubbing my tongue clean or almost clean. "Ew!" I said. I heard a whimper from behind me. Turning around I saw a little girl with black hair with a little pulled into a ponytail. She was wearing a orange yukata and no shoes. Why wasn't she wearing shoes and how come I feel like I know her from somewhere?

My eyes widened when I saw the flower crown she must have made is now lying ruined beside her unconscious form. I crawled over to her side checking if she was okay. After looking her over closely I let out a sigh of relief. She was just unconscious. I felt bad about this still though.

I knocked out a little girl and ruined her flower crown...How proud mom would have been of me. I looked at the sky. The sun was starting to come up now. It was a truly beautiful site to see. The sky was a light shade of orange and blue, clouds seemed to move much slower though. It feels strange. Just being here with this little girl and the world around seemed so quiet and peaceful. Could this girl be making me feel this way or was it just the way it was so peaceful right now?

Then it came back like water that's been blocked for a long time just being let free, falling from a high up place. I still don't know where I am? I'm lost in this forest of horrors.

Suddenly there was movement in my arms. I looked down seeing the little girl moving around, face expression tense. I pulled her into my lap leaning against a near by tree. Holding her tightly in my arms, I felt myself slipping into dream land. The girl stopped moving around and laid in my gentle hug sleeping soundly. I smiled softly. I wanted to stay like this... Just lying here without a care and so peaceful.

Yawning, closing my eyes I smiling to myself. I liked this feeling I have with her... yet I don't know even her.

I woke to the feeling of being shook. Yawning loudly, stretching. I rubbed my eyes blinking. I smiled at the site before me.

The little girl awake staring at me with a smile on her face. her hair sticking in all directions. Giggling I patted her hair down. "I forgot to ask you, what's your name?" I asked her gently. She frowned at me. Looking around for something she picked up a stick and wrote on the ground three sloppy letters R-I-N.

Rin...Rin...Rin... Where have I heard that name before? It sounds so freaking familiar to me. I frowned thinking about it gave me a headache.

I turned my head to look at her seeing her frown deepen. I smiled at her resting my hand on her head, ruffing her hair. "Nice to met you Rin! My name's Jessie! Pleasure to met ya!" I said standing up. She grinned her teeth showing. I saw one of her front tooth was missing. Looking at her mouth closely frowning. "What happened to your tooth Rin?" I asked her. She just shook her head smiling.

I frowned again, but she grabbed my hand and started tugging me toward the forest. I allowed her to partly drag me. Soon after a while I heard voices in the distance. I saw a small town with people just starting to open up their shops. Smoke was coming from what I guess were bakeries. The houses were made from wood and there isn't any concrete roads are cars. Just a dirt road with wagons and people walking around. There were some people spreading out there stuff on the side-walks. It looked like something from the 60's. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against the 60's. I'm just not use to seeing it, like really seeing it.

The second the people in town saw us they throw glares our way or mostly towards Rin. While we walked some even bumped into us or just shoved us to the side. I answered them with a good middle finger when they weren't looking of course. I highly doubt if I got into a fight that I would win. None the less though we continued walking through the town. Eventually we walked a until I saw the last house. It looked more like a temple then a house though. I haven't seem those types of places over then on the TV and when I pasted by a karate temple when I was on my way home.

On my way home...

"Stranger, who are you?" I heard a deep voice ask from behind us. Me and Rin both turned around. Though Rin ran up to him and hugged him tightly while I stood in my spot. I smiled and waved. "I'm Jessie it's nice to met you." I said smiling walking to him holding out my hand. He looked at Rin and nodded and he shook my hand quickly letting go. Hurt flashed through my eyes.

Do I smell bad or something?

"I'm sorry, where have my manners gone. I'm the Monk Metusuki." He said bowing his slightly. "Nah it's okay. We all forget our manners at some point." I said grinning at him. "It seems like it's going to be a good day Rin. How about you go play while I talk with your friend?" Metusuki asked, smiling down at Rin gently. Is he her father or something? Rin nodded her head running off somewhere. His smile quickly disappeared the second she was out of site. "What are you?" He asked or more like demanded. I blinked in confusion at him. What else would I be other then human.

"Human.." I said slowly unsure if this was a trick question or not. He narrowed his eyes. "You'll see... But till that time comes... Take a bath miss. Your smell is choking me." l narrowed my eyes but. Looking down at my clothes I grimaced. I was covered in dirt and mud. It feels horrible against my skin. Curiosity I smelled my hoody, I cringed. "Okay, thanks!" I said quickly.

He handed me a pair of clothes and walked towards the front door." Follow me please." He said. I followed not wanting to stay in these clothes any longer. He lead me down the hallway until we reached the third door on the left. He then turned around to face me and just stared. "Don't look too long hun, you might get lost in my sexiness." I said winking stepping around him, walking into the bathroom. I heard him mutter something about youngsters and their ways.

I giggled stripping off my clothes after looking around. There was a hot spring in the middle of the room with clothes and other things. Such has brushes, towels, soap, and something in blue and green bottles. Maybe it was the shampoo and conditioner he used. I certainly wasn't about to find out for myself.

Last time I did... lets just say I came out with blue hair and got yelled at and grounded for three whole months. Not fun at all I say!

Sitting in the hot spring I felt myself relax. It felt good to have a bath for once since I woke up in this place or whatever it was. Letting out a long and heavy sigh and laid my head back closing my eyes. Where was I? Should I really be acting so calm? Was mom and sis looking for me right now?

Would I met them again?

With that thought in mind I felt tears roll down my cheeks. I miss them, I've never been away from them this long since I met them. It feels so wrong being away for this long. The tears came rushing down faster.

I'm alone again...

Then I heard the door open and close. I covered myself ready to hit the person you dared to walk in on me bathing... only to find Rin staring at me frowning. She pointed to my face. I quickly wiped away my tears already feeling better. Relaxing I slide back down flinching when my legs brushed roughly against the bottom of the hot spring hitting a cut.

Rin slide into the hot spring beside me and started to clean herself. I giggled when I saw her get her fingers stuck in her hair. "Here let me help you." I said and untangled her hand easily. Grabbing the brush I started to brush her hair out. Starting at the bottom working my way up. Looking at my work of being able to untangle her hair I felt very proud of myself.

Grinning to myself fist bumping the air I muttered, "Coolness level total level up!"

I heard the door open turned around to see Metusuki standing in the door way grinning a perverted smile on his face. "Perverted monk!" I yelled throwing things at him hopping something hit him, but sadly nothing did. My aim sucked...Badly.

Coolness level down...Damn you perverted monk!

You better sleep with one eye open tonight!
