Inu Brothers Heritage Revealed The Past Catches Up

Chapter 2: Rin Celebration of Adulthood…

It was a special day for a certain young raven hair chocolate eye girl living in the Feudal Era. For this young girl was no longer young lass, but a woman. The beautiful bubbly Rin turned 15 summers on this day; a time she thought she would never live long enough to see when she was a child. However fate had different plans for the girl because a certain daiyoukai, her adopted father saved her life the first time she died. When death sought her soul again he saved her body and brought her back to the land of the living. This allowed the daiyoukai mother to bring her back for the dark depths of death a second time. The young woman continues to live in the moment and enjoy her time among the living as she celebrated the golden jubilee of her birth with her adopted family.

The petite girl was the physical personification of her personality. She was a beauty on the inside and out and she could bring joy to anyone she came across. All she had to do was be herself.

Her adopted family held the festivity at her adopted grandmother Kaede hut. She was wearing a normal miko outfit except the top sleeves and collar was trimmed with the red to match her miko pants. A beautiful white obi decorated with red lilies was tied around her waist. Her waist length hair was styled in a low braid with a ribbon at the tip holding it together.

She received many gifts from her family that she accepted with an ample amount of gratitude. Inuyasha of course being the greedy uncle he was gave her a large deer for the gala fest. Kagome gave her the new miko outfit she was currently wearing and Kaede gave her a new cherry wood bow and arrow set. Miroku and Sango worked together to design a new quiver for her. The quiver was like any other except cherry blossoms designs decorated the arrow holster. All three of Miroku and Sangos’ children picked a variety of flowers and gave the bouquet to Rin with huge proud smiles on their faces. Shippo missed a day at school to be there for the celebration. The young fox she saw as an older brother gave her a vase encased in fox magic that will give dead flowers the appearance of being alive when placed in the vase. Kohaku also showed up with Kirara bearing a lovely gift. He gave her a stunning golden necklace with a golden flower hanging upside down on the accessory. Apparently Kohaku used some of the money he earned from youkai slaying to purchase her present. Rin was ecstatic by the gifts especially since she loved flowers, food and the ability to protect others. Kaede, Kagome and Rin cooked while Sango and Miroku watched the children. Everyone ate laughed and talked with each other, reminiscing about old times and catching up on new ones. Hours went by and Shippo, Kohaku and Kirara decided to leave early together to get back to school and youkai slaying. Before they left, the young man Kohaku who has had a crush on Rin for years gave her a kiss and asked for the opportunity to court her. However Kohaku and Rin agreed that they should ask her adopted father for his blessing before they officially begun to date. Everyone eavesdropping on the conversation heard a squealed yes and saw another kiss. Miroku silently congratulated Kohaku will Shippo made a note to tease Kohaku about it later. After Kohaku, Shippo and Kirara said goodbyes’ to everyone they hit the road.


In the evening after Kohaku, Shippo and Kirara left, her adopt father Sesshoumaru and his retain Jaken shown up. Rin hugged and kissed the protesting Jaken in greeting telling him how much she missed him. After she released her bear hug, Jaken stomped off grumbling about his personal space being invaded. While Jaken and the rest of the pack bickered as usual, she hugged Sesshoumaru around his upper waist. Her chocolate orbs looked up into his golden eyes as she told him how happy she was to see him. Sesshoumaru stroked the girl hair, his silent way of telling her he was content to see her as well. As she hugged him, Sesshoumaru smelled Kohaku on her and gave the young lady a questioning look. After she explained to him that Kohaku and her self wanted to court, she asked him for his blessing. Like most fathers the daiyoukai didn’t want to think about his child courting, this just shows how fast she has grown up. However being a logical creature most of the time, he knew this would be best for her. Many women her age are already mated with children on the way. Sesshoumaru also knew Kohaku well enough to know that she would be safe with him. So as he inwardly sighed at the thought of his little Rin becoming a young woman, he nodded in agreement. But after he nodded he told her that Kokaku has better show courage and come to him personally and ask for his blessing. Sesshoumaru also made it clear that he better not try anything intimate with her until after they are officially mated/married. Rin blushed as she agreed with his stipulations and smiled that sunny bright smile that everyone, even the once completely cold hearted daiyoukai loves.

Once she released him, Sesshoumaru reached into his haori and handed Rin her birthday present wrapped in a silk cloth. The gift was beautiful but deadly expensive golden dagger with silver inu youkai claw design that extended from the bottom of the easy to grip hilt. The claws were designed to retract or extended, depending on how the wielder held it. The blade was double edged with a zigzag design at the tip. The dagger came with a small black sheath that had a strip attached to it. When placed in the sheath the claws automatically retract so it will not hurt its owner. The strip could be used to fasten the sheath to her leg so she could have hidden protection. Rin smiled up at him and said ‘thank you’ as she jumped up to try and kiss him on the cheek. He bent down to Rins’ petite form so she could plant her kiss of daughterly love and appreciation on his cheek.

He stayed for a little while and acknowledged the other members of the pack. However, he got into yet another brotherly brawl with Inuyasha and somehow managed to knock said little brother on his ass. The silly altercation was over Inuyasha teasing him about becoming sappy when he saw Rin kiss him. They were civil to each other most of the time, but siblings pick on each other no matter what. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were no exception to the rule.

After the melee and Kagome scolding Inuyasha about his rudeness; Rin practically begged him to stay, but he declined saying that he had important business to attend to. And since her present has been delivered and Inuyasha has received a new knot on his head courtesy of his fist, he decided to leave. But to remove the sad look that started to form on her lovely face, he told her that he would be back soon and Ah-Un, her beloved companion will accompany him. Besides, he still had a score to settle with Inuyasha for his comments and the small bruise on his cheek.

After Sesshoumaru threw a nice size rock at his retainers’ head to cease the arguments, they both headed off. Rin was still a disappointed after they departed, but was happy to hear that Ah-Un was coming to visit her soon. The rest of her family helped distract her from her disenchantment and partied the rest of the day.

It was late at night and the celebration was over as all the occupants of Inuyashas’ village slept peacefully in their cozy little huts. Even Inuyasha was sleeping by his mate the miko Kagome. Although his sharp senses are on high alert for any threat human or youkai that dares to attack his village. No matter how advance Inuyashas’ senses are, he was not prepared for the formidable foe that was to come soon, none of them were…
