The dark sphere was pitch black, suddenly a white light forms and warped into a silhouette. A voice rang out from the silhouette. "Hello my sister." The silhouetted figure fades away and a girl with dark brown hair appears in a pink kimono. She twirled, giggled and ended with curtsy. "How do you like my kimono sis? I made it with my powers; I can obtain things from the future or the past. I wonder if you are as strong as I am. What powers may you have?" She disappeared and reappeared beside Sesshoumaru and his fluff. "OMG IT'S a FLUFFY! Rin you got a fluffy PUPPY!" That irked Sesshoumaru, so he glared at her. She recoiled and took a step back in shock. "Aww, it's not a tamed fluffy puppy. She paused for a moment, glared back and the tone of her voice completely changed, from a sweet and hyperactive innocence to a low growl. "It's a rabid mutt!" That irked Sesshoumaru even more, but he decided to keep his cool. Rin stepped towards her sister. "Please do not irritate Sesshoumaru-sama, sister." The girl looked at her and smiled. "I'm sorry sis. I have not introduced myself. I am Marana. I should tell you about how you can obtain your po-AW was here already. I guess I'll have to let mother do it." The dark sphere started to dissipate. They were in front of the eastern shrine. Marana signals for them to follow her. She leads them to a big room. "I'm Sorry Sesshoumaru-sama but you must stay out here for a few minutes." Marana and Rin proceeded into another room and greeted by Ino.
As Rin left into the other room, the door shut. Now the room had started to warp around Sesshoumaru. He finds himself in his secret meadow. He looked up and saw the ceiling of the room so he knew it was an illusion right away. A soft breeze brushes past him, as if he was there. The place smelled the same as well. He walked up to the Lake and found servants talking. One of the servants greets Sesshoumaru. "Ah guest! How do you like Tsuruya-sama's illusion? She is in a good mood today, thank god. Tsuruya-sama likes to create individual illusions for the guests, of a place that gives a sense of happiness. What you see is different from what I see. My place of happiness is different from yours."
Ino was Rin's mother. She had bright green eyes. She was wearing a blue kimono with green ovals and flowers. Her hair is dark green with a little ponytail the way Rin does hers. She was grinning from ear to ear. "My daughter i'm so glad to see you've grown up well!" She started to giggle and tease her. "And oh my, that Sesshoumaru is quite handsome, but your way to good for him." Rin started to blush. "Ah Sesshoumaru-sama has been taking care of me for ten years." Ino stopped giggling. "Ten years? What happened to the family I left you with?" Rin looked to the ground in despair. "They were murdered by bandits." Ino placed her hand on Rin's head. "I'm very sad they died…They were such wonderful people!" Rin agreed. "Yeah, but I can't believe that they weren't my real family. I loved them as if they were." Ino nodded. "That's to be expected. Let's change to a less depressing subject." She paused for a moment. "Your sister Tsuruya is really shy. She is entertaining Sesshoumaru with an illusion of some place that gives him happiness. Unless she's mad, but I don't believe she is." Ino continued by telling Rin how her sister's powers worked. Rin was amazed at what they could do, including her brother.
"Tsuruya, I would appreciate it if you stop this senseless illusion." Moments after Sesshoumaru spoke, the room warped back to its original form. A voice shoots out from the air. "Why did you ask for me to do that for? I'm curious, was my powers wrong about your place of happiness?" Sesshoumaru ignored her question. "Show yourself Tsuruya." A girl with black hair that has tips of red at the end with a pure black kimono appears five feet away. She is also wearing a black choker with a skull medallion. Pink eye shadow lined with black and lipstick. Tsuruya is smiling a lot as Rin does. Tsuruya puts her bangs that are to her cheeks over one eye. Then her expression changes and is emotionless. "My sister is quite lucky," She paused. "As girls in the supposive future say 'your cute' anyways! Rin is meeting our mother right now.
"I should soon begin teaching you about how to unlock your powers. It would be of great you should have some damn strong powers. Stronger than mine I would have to say. In addition, i am actually jealous of my offspring. I wish you could have met your father. But it's his fault for getting into a fight with Karone." "Who is Karone?" "Karone is your uncle. Although his death was an accident, I probably could have prevented it. It's actually my fault; I should have stopped them from fighting." Rin shook her head. "No, it's not your fault. You didn't know that it was going to get serious." "I suppose you're correct, but I still could have stopped it."
