Chapter Two: Years Pass
Its been 14 years since Rin made that secret wish. Now at the beautiful age of 23, knowledgeable of medicinal herbs, Rin finally became the strong fighter that she always wanted to be. She walked to the outskirts of the village to find some herbs, kneeling she hummed and began to pick the herbs one by one. Lord Sesshomaru hasn't come to see me in 8 months, I hope he's ok. She thought, but she new her lord and knew he would come see her. As she picks she begins to remember the first time she began to fight.
A few weeks after the ogre attack, Lord Sesshomaru had left her alone with Jaken again. Jaken like always called to figure out where Lord Sesshomaru went off to. Rin shook her head and walked around humming, only to trip over something and fall flat on her face. A-Un noticed this and made a noise, Rin stood up, "I'm ok A-Un! Don't worry about me!"
She giggled and looked to see what had tripped her. It was a stick, thick and long enough to be a childs play sword. Rin picked it up and waved it. She giggled again and waved it again, she's seen Lord Sesshomaru fight so she made his stance and began to lunge into the air and strike it. A-Un looked at her puzzling but shrugged and put their heads down to watch.
"Kya! Ha!" Rin exhaled as she continued to fight the wind. Rin panted at the fun, but it was soon bursted by the imp. "Rin what is the meaning of this? Have you lost your mind?" Jaken shouted in his anxiety but Rin pointed the stick at Jaken, "Master Jaken please teach me to fight." Jaken laughed, "Why child! That is absurd! Why in heaven's name do you wish to fight?" Rin swung the stick and placed it on her shoulder, "I want to fight, I want to learn Master Jaken, its better than doing nothing.
Jaken sighed, "If you wish to learn you'll have to ask Lord Sesshomaru, I will have no part in this." Rin pouted," You're no fun! A-Un will you teach me?" A-Un raised their ears and tilted their heads, making Rin laugh. Suddenly, she felt the stick being lifted and removed from her grasp. Rin shook in fear but looked up, only for the fear to turn to joy, "Lord Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru looked at the stick, "Rin, explain." He turned his eyes toward her and she pouted, "Lord Sesshomaru I was just playing with that! Nothing more!" Jaken interfered, "Don't you lie to my lord, girl! Tell the truth." Sesshomaru glared at Jaken, "Stay out of it and let the girl explain herself. Now the truth Rin." Rin sighed, "I just wanted to fight, I was pretending the stick was a sword and I was fighting the wind."
Sesshomaru threw the stick, "Rin, you can play all you want but you will not fight. I am here so you do not have to." He leaned down, eye to eye and told her, "I heard you asking Jaken to teach you how to fight and I dont want to hear that either. Am I understood?" Rin nodded, "Yes Lord Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru patted her head, "Good."
Rin continued to pick until she heard a rustle in the bushes. She stayed still and looked around, and then a sickle flew toward Rin. Immediately Rin pulled her dagger from her sleeve to block it and jumped up keeping her distance. The sickle was no where to be seen until it flew again toward her. Rin dodged and grabbed the chain, pulling its user out of the bushed. Kohaku jumped out and with his sword he swung it at Rin. Dodging left, right, left and then left again, Rin let out a high kick, sending the sword flying in the air.
Rin began punching but Kohaku dodge, on the 6th dodge, Kohaku grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the ground and hovered over her. Rin fought back, but it was useless; for Kohaku began to tickle her. Rin laughed and began slapping his chest, pleading him to stop. Kohaku chuckled and kept going, "Not till you say I'm the best." Rin laughed until she felt Kohaku's grip loosen, then she punched his stomach, sending Kohaku on his side, "No way will I ever!"
She stood and before she offered her hand to help Kohaku up, something white appeared in between the two and Kohaku began to dangle in the air. "How dare you lay a hand on my Rin!" Growled an angry voice, gripping his hand tighter around Kohaku's neck. It was clear who it was, "Lord Sesshomaru, please stop this!" Rin walked around and grabbed his wrist, "Please my lord, that is enough!" Sesshomaru glared and dropped the demon slayer as he gasped for air. Rin smiled and hugged Sesshomaru, she was so happy to finally see him. He wrapped one arm around and said, "So you learned to fight, after I told you not to, didn't you Rin?" Rin froze. How will she explain this to him?
