Summary: Summary: The Horai Island from the 4th movie has reappeared suddenly and
without warning. 50 years have not passed and nearby civilans are worried.
What'll happen when Sesshomaru realizes its reappearance and Rin is drawn
mysteriously to it? SessxRin older

Just another recap if you didn't read it the first time.

Horai island is an disappearing and reappearing island on which these 6 children live and are bound to by the four war gods. These kids are half demons and a prestiest protected the island many years ago, but sacrificed her self when the 4 war gods came to take thier power and seal it away. Well many events insue and Inuyasha's gang rescues the children and sets them free into the 'real' world. Now the island is not supposed to appear but for every 50 years. At the end of the movie the island disappears and they assume it has just faded like before. My fanfic picks up ten years after the events in the movie.

I've tried not to give out and spoilers in my mini movie recap. So very sorry if I have! GO OUT AND GET THIS MOVIE, IT'S GREAT! Or if you own it, go and sit down to watch it, right after you read this fic! Ahohohoho.

Onwards!


Rin rode on the back of Ah-un while the party continued their journey westward to Sesshomaru's castle. The ocean rippled and small waved licked the edges of the sandy shore quietly. Rin watched peacefully, she hadn't been to the beach in a long time. Nearly four years. It was nice to breath in the salty air once again.

Rin had to blink several times as an island appeared in the water. She wasn't sure if she were just overly tired from lack of sleep or if what she was seeing was absolutely true. Sure enough it came into clear view. The top looked like a horseshoe connected to a tall rocky base. It was not there before, Rin was one hundred percent sure of that.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin called from atop Ah-un.

"What is it Rin?" Sesshomaru asked not turning to look at the brunette.

"There's an island in water!"

Sesshomaru had sensed something was wrong in the air, but he just couldn't figure out what. He turned to see this island Rin spoke of, he recognized it immediately. It was the island he had been temporarily trapped on ten years ago. He didn't understand why it was showing up again. It was only supposed to appear every fifty years. Even so he and his brother had slain the four war gods. Horai Island should not ever reappear again.

"Mi'lord? Is everything okay?" Jaken asked waving around in front of the dog demon. Sesshomaru had been standing there, lost in thought, for a good five minutes.

"Do you know that island Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked dismounting Ah-un and walking up beside Jaken.

Without warning, Sesshomaru grabs Rin's shoulders and held firmly. He forced her to make eye contact as he spoke. "Rin, you will never go to that island. Don you understand?"

Rin was taken aback by this sudden contact. In the entire ten years she had been traveling with Sesshomaru she could not recall him ever touching her in any way shape or form. She always kept her distance like Jaken and Sesshomaru had kept his. The 18 year old stared into her companion's eyes with sheer amazement. His eyes were so golden and perfect.

"Rin!" Sesshomaru said firmly.

"Yes." She said mechanically and he let her go. In reality Rin had never heard Sesshomaru say anything at all, she was to busy gazing into to his golden orbs. Rin had never thought of Sesshomaru as more than a friend, if she could call him that.

Jaken smack Rin with his staff. "Move girl! Lord Sesshomaru is already leaving!"

Rin tripped after Ah-un for a while but she began to stare at the island and her pace slowed to a snails pace. "What is it called Sesshomaru-sama?" She received no answer, not even Jaken was telling her not to bother him so much. Rin snapped out of her trance and saw that the two demons were far ahead of where she was standing on the beach.

"Hey! Wait up!" Rin called running after the party. Jaken turned around and tapped his foot impatiently on the cool sand. Night was approaching quickly, they would have to set up camp soon.

As soon as Rin reached the demons Sesshomaru turned around and announced that they would be setting up camp on the shore and Jaken need to get some fish for dinner.

Rin munched on the fish Jaken had caught. Unfortunately Jaken was only able to catch two fish before the became cold and the fish retreated into the deeper water. Sesshomaru had given Rin his fish.

Once night had fallen and Ah-un and Jaken had fallen asleep, Rin stayed up poking at the embers on the fire. Ever since she had looked into Sesshomaru's eyes she was debating her true feelings for him, was he more than a friend in her mind?

"You should get to bed Rin." Sesshomaru said smoothly. Rin's hair stood on end at the sound of his voice. He hadn't spoken since dinner began.

"What's the name of that island?" Rin asked mindlessly poking at the hot coals.

Sesshomaru hesitated. He didn't want to answer her, he didn't want to her to get interested in it and then go exploring. "Horai Island."

It was then that Rin remembered her dream from the night before. It was this beach where she had waited with Jaken for her lord's return. She had seen that island before! That's why she was so attracted to it. "Were you on that island ten years ago?"

Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked at Rin for a long moment. He could hardly believe she would remember such a small detail in her life.

"Yes, Rin."

"Did you fight that red haired man there?" Rin asked quietly glancing at the island's silhouette in the water. Of course she referred to the man whom attack the nearby villagers and challenged Sesshomaru then escaped.

Sesshomaru was so surprised that Rin remembered so much from ten years before. "Yes, now go to sleep Rin."

Rin curled up on her sleeping mat and fell asleep quickly. Sesshomaru gazed out at the mysteriously reappearing Horai Island and wondered just what it's presence meant.


See, see I promised it would be long, if by a little bit! ~Iska
