"Rin!" Kagome stated catching the attention of the girl before she went up to her room. Rin was seven years old now, she would be eight in four months and Kagome silently wondered how the girl had grown up so fast.

"Your father and I have something we need to talk with you about after dinner. Don't run away okay?" Rin raised an eyebrow- a perfect imitation of her father- but nodded nonetheless. Her parents weren't known for this sort of thing so whatever it was, it was important.

It was tense all during dinner and all after. Rin wasn't tense but curious. Whatever it was her parents needed to discuss with her had them nervous. Finally unable to take it she asked them what it was that had them so bothered.
