Chap 4: Where Is Rin?

 

Kayasha walked back into Inuyasha's hut.
`What's wrong?' Rin asked as he walked passed her.
`Nothing,' he replied simply.
`Are you sure, you look kinda out of it.' Rin stated.
`I'm fine Rin. Where are you going?' Kayasha asked.
`I'm going to go see an old friend.'
`Oh.' Kayasha said a little disappointed that his other friend was leaving.
`I'll be back soon, I promise.' Rin said.
`Okay I will see you then. Farewell.' Kayasha said.
`Bye.' Rin replied while walking out.

Rin zapped herself to a huge castle on the other side of the Western Lands. She knocked on the door. A strange ugly little toad demon answered the door.
`Who are you human. And what do you want?' The toad asked.
`Move aside, Jakken I am here to see Lord Sesshomaru.' Rin demanded.
Sesshomaru walked up to the door.
`Jakken what is all this noise about?' he asked emotionless as usual. `I thought I specifically told you to answer the door and send anyone who wishes to see me nothing else.'
` Yes mi-lord.' Jakken said.
`Then why didn't you?' Sesshomaru questioned a little more irritated.
`I-I don't know mi lord.' Jakken said
Sesshomaru looked at who was standing at the doorway.
`Hello lord Sesshomaru.' Rin said.
Sesshomaru looked at the girl that was standing in the doorway and sniffed the air. `Rin?'
`Hai Lord Sesshomaru it is me, Rin.' she said smiling.
`Jakken why did you not let her in?' Sesshomaru questioned his servant.
`I did not recognize her mi-lord.' Jakken replied.
`Yeah right Kermit, you know you have always hated me.' Rin said.
`You stupid human girl you must refer to me as Jakken-sama, not Kermit.' Jakken said angrily.
`You don't even know who Kermit is. It would be a compliment to call you Kermit he's much better than a toad.' Rin argued.
`Why you.' Jakken threatened Rin by waving his staff.
`Yeah whatever toady-wart-face.' Rin said while taking his staff and hit him over the head with it.
`Stop this.' Sesshomaru said.
`He started it.' Rin said.
`I did not' Jakken argued.
`I don't care who started it. I'm going to finish it.' Sesshomaru threatened. `Now, Rin will you be staying.' Sesshomaru asked.
`Uh I don't know I kinda promised my friend I would return soon.' Rin said.
`Are you going to at least come in?' Sesshomaru asked.
`Yeah I guess. Only for a bit though.' Rin said.

Sesshomaru lead Rin to the study and they sat down.
Sesshomaru started off the conversation. `Rin, a lot has changed around here since you left.' After Sesshomaru started they heard someone knock on the door.
`Come in.' Sesshomaru said.
A young Fox demon about Rin's age walked in. He had orange hair and a long tail. He reminded Rin of Shippou. But Rin knew this boy.
`Your dinner is ready Lord Sesshomaru.' he said.
`Thank you.' Sesshomaru said.
`Ashitaka?' Rin wondered.
`Rin?' The boy answered back.
Rin ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
`My old friend.' Ashitaka said. `Something is different about you. You are not as young as you used to be. What happened?' he questioned looking at her.
`I…Uh…I grew up.' She said trying to make up a good excuse and mindful that Sesshomaru was still in the room.
`Demons only age that fast. Unless…Rin did you put an aging spell on yourself?' he asked.

`No. A friend put one on me.' she answered.
`Oh. Well why don't we speak of this later? For now we can eat. That is if you will stay.' Ashitaka said.
`Well I promised my frien-' she was cut off.
`Nonsense. You don't want to miss my cooking do you?' he asked
`Well I do miss it.' she replied
`So…?'
`I'll stay. But I have to leave right after.' she said
`All right.' he said happy that she was staying.

~Inuyasha's hut~
`Hey Kayasha. Where is Rin I haven't seen her anywhere.' Inuyasha asked his son.
`She said she was going to see an old friend.' Kayasha replied.
`Who might this be?' Inuyasha questioned his son in a snappy tone.
Kayasha just shrugged and replied. `How am I supposed to know.'
`Don't you ever pay attention?' Inuyasha said annoyed now.
`She didn't say. How is that not paying attention?' Kayasha asked.
`Well you could have asked her stupid!' Inuyasha yelled.
`What ever I am not putting up with this today.' Kayasha said as he got up to leave
`Putting up with what? Where are you going?' Inuyasha asked.
`Out.' Kayasha said bluntly.

~Sesshomaru palace~
They all ate dinner and spoke of nothing. Then a strange woman came into the room. Rin had never seen this woman before. She had long Red hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a white kimono that was tied at the back. The woman walked up to Sesshomaru and put her arms around his chest from behind and then she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
`Hello my Lord.' The woman said.
`Hello my lady.' he answered as he kissed her hand.
Rin watched in shock, never before has she seen or heard of this woman. Sesshomaru would never love anyone. Or would he? Rin was so confused. She didn't know whether to believe it or not. Maybe she didn't want to. Maybe she did. She didn't know how she should react. If she should ask questions or not. No Sesshomaru hated questions. She just stood there finishing her dinner.
`Rin this is Akaraden.' Sesshomaru said introducing the two women.
`H-hello Akaraden.' Rin stumbled over her words.
`Hello Rin.' Akaraden said gracefully.
Just then Rin remembered the words Sesshomaru said right before Ashitaka interrupted. It echoed through her head. Rin, a lot has changed around here since you left. Rin's stomach was turning now. She was thinking too hard. ~Could it be that Sesshomaru-sama has a mate and Akaraden is it? Maybe I was a burden and that is why he got Jakken to sell me. Was I that much of a burden? She probably hates me. I should not have come back here.~ She thought.
`Rin, Rin' A hand was waving in front of Rin's face.
`Huh, What?' Rin said while zoning back into reality.
`Hello? Are you okay? You look like you just seen a ghost.' Ashitaka said.
`Oh, I'm sorry. I have to go now, um thanks for dinner it was great. Farewell Ashitaka, and lord Sesshomaru. It was nice meeting you lady Akaraden.' Rin said as she left.

Rin zapped herself back to the hut. When she got there someone was waiting there.
`Well, well, well. Look, who finally decides to show up.'
Rin turned her head to see Inuyasha standing parallel to her.
`So are you going to tell me where you were or do I have to ask Kagome to put a truth spell on you?' Inuyasha said impatiently.
`I was visiting a friend.' Rin answered
`Sorry, wrong answer. Who is this friend?' Inuyasha said.
`Sesshomaru.' Rin said sheepishly while she put her head down in defeat.
`Aha, and why exactly were you at HIS place?' Inuyasha questioned.
`I…I wanted to see him.' Rin replied
`And why is that?' Inuyasha asked, yet another question.
`It's because I don't believe he soled me. Ashitaka told me it was all Jakken and not Lord Sesshomaru.' Rin stated
`And you are going to believe Ashitaka. Wait a minute. Did you just call him Lord Sesshomaru?' Inuyasha said puzzled and a bit angry.
`Y-yes.' Rin answered a little scared.
`Is he your lord now? No I didn't think so. Rin, look why did you go back?' Inuyasha questioned now a bit concerned.
`I-I just wanted to…I don't know why.' Rin replied.
`Okay. Just promise me you won't go back again.' Inuyasha said trying to understand.
`I promise.' Rin said. Rin decided to go to sleep since everyone else was because it was very late.
