So after a loooong hiatus, I'm back. I'm going to try to finish this story, and I'm going to make it one of my goals! I've been pretty busy with life, and school, and life. I made a couple edits (nothing major, just grammar etc) to the previous chapters, but I'm sticking with that main flow of the story. Thanks to all who've read it, and I hope that you enjoy it more, now that I'm finally finishing it! I've also changed the title of the story… Seeing as I can't remember what I dreamt about 2 years or more years ago, this is going in a different flow. Hope you like it!

Chapter Three
4 years later. Feudal Era.
All was quiet in the forest, moonlight shining down to illuminate an old well in the middle of the glen. The gentle brushing of the wind through the trees was all that could be heard.
The tall demon lord stood quietly just under the cover of the trees. One would never know from his stance that he was waiting most impatiently. 'Damn that mortal girl… Late, as per usual.' Sesshomaru was unimpressed. Just as he had that thought, there came a blinding flash from the well. 'Finally, she's arrived.' Blindingly fast, he was at the well, pulling the Kagome out.
"Ack!" the girl squealed in surprise. "Jeez, Sesshomaru. Impatient much?" She smirked, knowing full well he would deny it. He had been like this ever since he sent Rin to live with her.
"This Sesshomaru is never impatient."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I'll bet. But moving on. Rin emailed me the other day, she's doing well at school. She's turning 18 next week… She's flying back into town for her school's vacation. Is there anything that you wanted me to give to her? I know she'd be really happy to know you still remember her. She's getting a little desperate since you haven't seen her in years."
Sesshomaru opened his mouth to immediately decline, but then thought better of it. Would it really be such a crime to let Rin know that he still thought of her? "Let me get back to you about that," he told Kagome instead.
Kagome's eyes widen in surprise. "Ok, just come through the well when you have it ready, and then I can send it onwards." Sesshomaru nodded, already thinking about what he would do, and she jumped back into the well.
Meanwhile, In the future:
"Come on, Rin, loosen up. I'm your boyfriend. Don't you wanna make me happy?" a tall, good looking boy, cajoled to the girl lying beside him on the couch.
Rin rolled her eyes at the boy's wheedling tone. 'Why do I put up with this guy? All he wants to do is get in my pants.' "Will, you know that I'm not interested in doing that, especially right now. I'm not ready."
Will stopped trying to wheedle his way. He looked at her and sighed. "Why not? Everyone else is. I don't see why you're being such a cold bitch."
Rin turned her head, shock in her eyes. Suddenly, she hopped up off the sofa, flicking her long black hair over her shoulder. Without turning to face Will, she started getting all of her school stuff together. "You know what? I can't stay any longer. I have a flight back to Japan in the morning, and really need to finish packing."
"Oh, don't be like that Rin. I didn't mean it. Please stay a little longer."
"No. I'll talk to you later, Will." Rin grabbed the rest of her stuff and practically ran out of his room. She was going to have to figure out what she was going to do about him. He was getting to be a major pain in her ass. But that could wait. She was going back to Japan tomorrow!
4 long ass years of living in Canada. Her English was flawless, even if it still had an accent. And even though she had a sexy boyfriend [who was a hockey player], she just couldn't fully commit. Not when half her heart was still in Japan down a well. But she was going back for her birthday, and for the rest of summer vacation.
She sighed to herself, while walking across the street to get back her dormitory. 'Will Sesshomaru want to see me? Does he still even remember who I am?' Absentmindedly, she let herself into the dorm that she'd called home for the past 4 years. Entering her room, she chucked her bag on the bed, and flopped into the chair by her desk. Her roommate barely looked up from the book she was reading.
"Back from Will's already? I thought you'd be there for at least another hour, seeing as this is the last time you'll see him for 2 months." Francesca, or more lovingly known as Frankie, asked Rin. They'd been friends since the first day Rin arrived. Frankie was strangely obsessed with everything Japanese, and upon learning that Rin was, latched onto her like a leech. They'd been inseparable ever since. She glanced up from her novel. Frowning slightly at Rin's disgruntled response, she reached out one long leg and nudged Rin's chair. "Hello? Earth to Rin?"
Rin blinked owlishly and looked at Frankie. "Did you say something?"
Frankie threw her hands in the air. "Only why you're back so soon? But don't mind me, just sitting over here, talking to myself clearly." Rin smiled at Frankie. Frankie and her had a special bond, not just because she was Japanese. Frankie was gorgeous. Rin knew that she wasn't unattractive, with her long black hair down to her elbows, but she was petite. Curvy in the right places, but she was lucky if people would say she was 5'3". Frankie was like a glamazon. All leg, reaching 5'9" without the help of heels. Rin smiled a little, thinking how Frankie was adamant against dating. Or… she should rephrase that to 'relationships'. Besides the fact that for all Frankie's looks, she was an oddball. Maybe that's why we got along so well. Rin caught the impatient look on her friend's face.
"Yeah… about that…" Rin sighed, "I don't know what to do. He's been really pressuring me lately, and with me leaving for the summer? I think it might be time to end it."
"Good. Yah, he's hot, but if he just wants in your pants, he's a douche. Toss him to the curb!" Frankie stated, getting a little riled up. Rin smiled, and just nodded. No need to get her going even more.
"So are you all packed for Japan?" Rin blinked at the sudden change of subject. "Yea, mostly. I've been counting down since I booked my flight home, so yah. Can't hold me back from packing!"
"I'm so jealous you're going to Japan. Why can't you take me with you?" Frankie moaned, giving Rin big puppy dog eyes.
Rin rolled her eyes. "You just have to wait a month. You're joining me for the second half of summer, and you know it," she said, throwing a pillow at her best friend. Frankie squealed, "I know! And I can't wait. Are you sure that I have to go home to see my family?" Rin knew full well that Frankie missed her family terribly, but refrained from replying.
While Frankie nattered on about things that Rin just had to take her to see, Rin started daydreaming about a tall, stoic demon lord, she knew a long time ago.
Hope that this lives up to the expectation!
