“ Rin.” After Sesshomaru stated her name, he began to study her. She was dressed in a torn, one-piece cloth that rose just above her knees. Her hair now reached down to her waist, and her bangs had grown down to her chin. Beneath the now tear-stained cheeks, was the face of a young woman, many years older than the young girl who he had seen only a night before. There were a few, small scars on her face, one on each cheek, above one of her eyebrows, and one that was slanted across her eye. Even with the scars she was still beautiful.
“ RIN?!” Jaken shouted, interrupting the silent moment. “Milord I know you didn’t really pay all that much attention to Rin, but you are aware that she was a child…right?” There was a sound of three bangs and suddenly Jaken lay passed out on the ground with three lumps on his head.
“ Fool.” Sesshomaru growled, glaring down at Jaken.
“ I…” Sesshomaru looked back towards Rin when he heard her speak. She looked back at him and though she was crying there was nothing but joy in her eyes. “ I knew you would come for me. All those years I waited. They all said to give up, that no one could escape… but I knew you would come.” She barely spoke the words above a whisper, straining them out through her sobs.
“ How many years?” Sesshomaru asked with his normal, dull tone.
“ What?” Rin looked a bit confused now.
“ How many years has it been since you were captured?” He asked again.
“ Don’t you know?” The confusion grew on her face. “ It has been…” She paused as if thinking about something, then started to cry, this time out of sorrow. “ I don’t know. They didn’t even let us know when it was day or night!” She was crying so hard now that it made her so weak that her legs collapsed and she fell to the ground.
Sesshomaru looked down at her, his eyes showing no emotion. After a moment, he waved his hand slightly in the air. Ah-Un came up beside him, answering his call. Sesshomaru then turned around and walked to the forest. “ Jaken. Catch some fish.” He called over his shoulder to Jaken, who still lay on the ground. Rin looked up at him with concern, which immediately left her when she heard his next words. “ Rin, do not waste time.”
Rin looked up to Ah-Un, who was standing above her… waiting for her. She faintly smiled, then got onto the beast and followed. “ Yes Milord.” She whispered to herself.
Sometime later, the three sat around a fire with fish bones laying on the ground beside it. The sun had just begun to set, the golden rays of the sun and the silver light of the moon battling together for control over the sky. Rin lay on her back, staring up at the sky, Sesshomaru sat against a tree across from her, his eyes looking nowhere, and Jaken lay on the ground, snoring loudly and drool dripping on the corner of his mouth.
“ I had forgotten about the sky, let alone it’s beauty.” Rin said carelessly. Sesshomaru looked at her, squinting his eyes as he tried to understand the situation.
“ Did you fall?” Sesshomaru asked her.
“ What?” Rin looked away from the sky and towards him.
“ I assume you were consumed in that whirlpool, but you should not have been close enough to it to pull you in.”
“ Oh.” She started. “ I can’t quite remember what happened. I think I was… reaching for a flower, because it was the most beautiful flower I had ever seen… and I wanted to give it to you.” After saying it, she blushed a little. Had she been a child she would not have blushed at this, but now a young women, this sort of thing was something she would easily blush at.
“ Fool.” Sesshomaru muttered, then looked to the side.
Rin continued to look at him for a moment, then slowly sat up. “ May I ask a question?”
Sesshomaru kept his head turned to the side, but moved his eyes towards hers, the gesture meaning for her to continue.
“ Why do you not know how many years I have been gone?” She paused. “ You were looking for me, right? Shouldn’t you know?”
Sesshomaru moved his eyes back to the side. “ I only looked for one night before I found you.” He stated calmly.
Confusion consumed her face. “ What do you mean?”
“ I do not know how much time passed in the place you have been Rin, but here, it has only been a day.” When he did not hear anything after a while, he looked back to Rin. She was bent over on her hands and her entire body shook.
“ One day? One day?” She repeated. “ I suppose that’s what they meant about Master.”
Sesshomaru looked at her curiously. “ Master?” He asked.
Rin continued to shake and stare at the ground as she spoke to him. “ I never knew who he was, none of us did. But the leader of the demons who controlled us was always referred to as ‘Master’. They spoke of him having great power, and that he could control the flow of things, such as water, air, and even time itself.”
Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed at this. ‘ Was that the water demon whom I defeated? Such power and he died so easily?’ He thought to himself.
“ But I knew you would come my lord. I knew that no matter how powerful the ‘Master’ was, that he would be nothing against you.” Rin looked up to him. “ Thank you.”
He narrowed his eyes again. “ For what?”
“ For coming for me.” She continued to look into his eyes. He looked back at her, but when he noticed her starting to move closer to him, he quickly looked away.
“ Rest.” He said. “ I do not want you slowing down our travels tomorrow.” Rin looked away sadly, then laid down and did as she was told.
“ RIN?!” Jaken shouted, interrupting the silent moment. “Milord I know you didn’t really pay all that much attention to Rin, but you are aware that she was a child…right?” There was a sound of three bangs and suddenly Jaken lay passed out on the ground with three lumps on his head.
