******CHAPTER 5*******
The next day she woke up and got ready to help at the shrine.
"Ms. Higuarshi, good morning!"
"Oh Rin! Come have breakfast, there is a lot to do today"
Rin nodded and smiled sitting down "Ms. Higurashi I think I'm not going to be able to go back. I – I have to find a way to live in this time, will you help me please"
Ms. Higurashi looked at Rin she could see the sadness but she will do anything in her power to help her, she was not replacing Kagome but she could consider her another daughter. "of course dear, you can stay her as long as you like. And we all will help you"
"Thank you" Rin said
"You are family Rin" she said placing a plate of food in front of the sad girl "we have much to buy and decorate for the festival, you'll love it"
Rin smiled and nodded, she loved festivals. She started eating, today she is going to start her new life and she had a lot to learn.
Rin saw all the decorations, and the shrine looked pretty and she couldn't wait for the event to start.
Mis Higurashi introduced Rin to Kagome's friends as her niece that had recently moved to the city. Kagome's friends were also helping with the events and they looked happy to meet her and promised to take her out to get to know the city.
By the afternoon, all the booths were set. Rin looked at them; they had different games, foods and things to sell. She was looking forward to do her part; it had been a long time since she danced in public. She had practice a lot to be able to do a good performance.
Rin started to do her makeup, she honestly hated having a white face and the red lips were so unnatural and felt she was removing her identity. Once that was done she did her hair and placed the Kanzashi that she had borrowed from Miss Higurazhi. She did owed a few hair accessories but she rarely used them, she liked her hair down and also living in a village didn't give her the opportunity to wear one often.
Rin slowly got dressed; once she was done she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so different, not herself at all. In some way she would like that it would be this easy to just change and be someone else. Letting out a sigh she walked out of her room, soon she would have to start to dance.
Once she got to the side of the stage she would be performing she saw Sota and grandpa Higurashi dressed in some formal traditional clothing and going up the stage. Sota presented her. Grandpa took a seat with his Shamisen and Sota had a small drum. The music started once she was in the center of the stage. Her movements were precise and graceful. Her hand movements with her fan were admired before when she used to dance for her friends in the village. She remembered how much she practiced to please her Lord back then, now she was performing for other people. Rin felt some pressure in her chest… pain, it hurt thinking that she would never get back, she would never see him again not even from afar.
She continued dancing, until the performance was done, the people had loved it and had even come to take pictures of her and with her. Things had changed but she had to continue 'she was getting another chance at another life' she thought. Even when she felt empty, she would continue and she hoped this new life would bring her something good.
Later that evening she had performed again, she had played the Koto and people looked amazed that she at her age would be able to play it so well. She had people from a magazine and a paper come and take pictures and asked her questions about her. She wasn't sure what it all meant but she was thankful Miss Higurashi was there to help her answer.
Rin at the end of her day was happy that all tuned out well, the festival would be going on for 2 more days but she was now more confident that she would be able to do well the next 2 days.
****Back in the feudal era****
The group of friends had gone to the temple, the monks were helpful but there were so many scrolls that they needed to go thru that the group felt overwhelmed. It seemed the well had a mind of its own. It frustrated Inuyasha to no end, reading riddles.
"Why do they have to write things like this? It doesn't make sense, figuring things out will take forever!" he said
"Inuyasha… the information is here. The monks write like this because they don't want people to just come and have everything just handed to them. They will need time to figure things out and sometimes people give up, the reasoning also is that if you give up then you are not worth it of what you are looking for" Miroku said
"Well is stupid" he huffed grabbing another scroll "dam monks!"
Kagome and Sango rolled their eyes and continue reading.
****in another place in the feudal era****
Jaken now was sure something was really wrong, his Lord had just came back to the palace and had gone directly to his study and had looked thru some of the more ancient scrolls and rushed out. Thinking back he now knew something was really wrong…
A few months back
Jaken knew something was wrong…. The fact that Rin was not with them yet had troubled him, he had thought that his lord was going to bring the girl back but when his lord came back he was alone. The weird behavior started after that, his Lord was distracted; no one knew he wasn't really paying attention to things because he made sure to take care of some of the things that needed to be taken care of. It troubles him that at the meetings with the counsel he had notice his Lord not care about things. He wonders what had happen; his lord also had stopped visiting Rin after that.
One day they were in a meeting when his Lord just stood up and left the room, all of the counsel looked shocked. Jaken followed his lord to his study.
"How many attacks to edo?" his lord asked
"8 since your last visit my lord. It doesn't make sense they are attacking the village knowing is under your protection. The village has been growing and flourishing, I could see someone wanting to raid the village but nothing has been taken they only destroy things and kill some of the humans, mainly girls" Jaken stopped talking and his eyes widen more if that was even possible.
He saw his Lord fly out of the window, a beam of white light heading towards the village.
Back to present time
"Lord Sesshomaru wait for me my lord!" Jaken ran after his Lord.
