Chapter 27

Recap:Rin's POVI took a deep breathe, and looked away. "I don't want you to be mad at me."He turned me to look at him. The look in his yes, why? I sighed. "There was something about that man that attacked us. I don't know what though. It confuses me." I told him honestly. "There is more?" My hold on him tightened. "I love you Sesshomaru.""Rin?" He narrowed his eyes at me. I bit my lip and looked at him. "I felt something towards the man." I was going to continue but the look I was getting now. I reacted quickly. I held onto him tighter than I ever have before. "He seemed familiar, but I have never seen him before, but there was something, I don't know what it is I just know that some how, some way. He is important to me." I took Sesshomarus face in my hands and looked into his eyes. "You are everything to me Lord Sesshomaru, and I love you more than I can bare. I love you so much it hurts." I cracked at the end, it really did hurt, how much I love him, it hurts. I sat there in his lap, staring at him. He held no emotion, I couldn't even feel anything from him, he was blocking me from him. I searched for something, hoping for him to give me some kind of sign. But there was none. I moved to leave, but his grip tightened. I looked back at him, he was fighting everything.  From how he used to do things, to how it is now.  He is deciding.  He pulled me to him, and took my face in his hands.  He kissed me hard, it took my breath away.  He pulled back, and looked at me, “You are mine.”  I smiled at him.  Placing my hands over his that are still on my face.  “I am yours.”

I kissed him, and soon was able to fall asleep in his arms.

Rin's POV

---

My eldest brother, had woken me, and was pulling my hand now.  I didn’t know what he wanted, I was tired.  “Brother, can I go back to sleep now?”

“No Rin, now be quiet and stay here.  Don’t you move, or make a sound, do you understand?”

I just nodded my head, and hid in my brothers hiding spot he had created for me, just for me.  I could hear screaming coming from outside.  Where was mother and father?  Brother went back to wake the others.  He was about to get them to hide as well when men came into our home.  One had my mother by her hair, she was being dragged.  All of the men that came in, grabbed my brothers, as others went to my mother, and started doing things to her, I didn’t know what they were doing, but I think brother knew.  He was screaming and cursing at them.  I have never heard him use language like that before.  Mom was screaming for them to stop what it was that they were doing.  The men would switch off with each other, almost like playing tag.  When they were done, they cut her head off.  I was so frightened I couldn’t even scream, but tears rolled down my cheeks, and my hands flew to my mouth.  My brothers were trying to get free from the men.  My eldest brother managed to get one of them, and dodged towards some of the others.  Everything happened so fast.  I couldn’t take the screams any longer, I closed my eyes, and covered my ears with my hands, and started to rock back and forth, praying for it to all stop, and for someone to save me from this nightmare.  ---

I woke to Sesshomaru shaking me, I was sweating, and shaking, my breathing was ragged.  Just a nightmare, I got to relive that moment again.  Why do I keep having these of my family?  I looked at Sesshomaru.  “Rin?”

“It was nothing.”  I told him looking away from him, trying to regain myself, and not to go back to that place, I once feared.  He wrapped his arm around me and I jumped.  He moved his arm and I apologized, and pulled it back, holding onto his arm for dear life.  “Rin?”

“It won’t stop.”  I looked at him.  “Save me.”  I was begging him.  He caressed my face, and leaned in.  Kissing my lips softly and passionately.  He also allowed me to feel how much he cared for me, what he would do to protect me.  I pulled back only to snuggle into his bare chest as his arms wrapped around my body, protecting me from everything, or trying to protect me from everything.  Some things seem to haunt you.  I didn’t realize that I had fallen back to sleep until I felt someone nearby, apparently so did Sesshomaru.  He was now dressed and walking over to me.  I spoke to him in his so that whoever it was wouldn’t hear us, even though it is a possibility that they already know that we are in here, they wouldn’t be able to hear our plan, if we have one. 

“Its him again.”  I looked down, “I. I don’t know if we should fight him or not.”  I looked back at Sesshomaru as he stared at me like I had grown another head over night.  I glared at him, pouted.  “Fine.”  I grabbed my weapons and prepared myself to fight.  I looked to Sesshomaru.  “He is waiting for the right moment.” 

Sesshomaru moved to go outside, but at the last second I grabbed his arm.  He looked down at me and raised his eyebrow, questioning my move.  “He used the poison, don’t take step outside the front door.”  I closed my eyes and concentrated.  “Sesshomaru wrap your arms around me.”  He did as I said, and pictured the forest in the surrounding area.  We appeared outside, no poison.  He slowly released me, and I held my head for a second, regaining my ground.

Then he spoke.  “You know it’s been a while since I’ve had a good fight.”

“Who sent you?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know beautiful.”  I did not like his tone, or that smirk he wore on his face.  Sesshomaru growled at his beautiful comment.  I smirked.  This man has no idea what he is doing. 

“I would actually, yes.  Who are you?”

“I cant tell you that, sorry love.”

“I.  Am.  Not.  Your.  Love.”  I raised my eyebrow in annoyance. 

“Too, bad why don’t you come with me, huh, get you away from that filth.”  He motioned towards Sesshomaru.  That did it.  Sesshomaru’s eyes began to turn red, and his power was coming off of him in waves.  But I took the first swing.  I blew wind towards the man taunting us, but he dodged it.  This little.  I threw fire at him, he kept dodging.  What is with him?  I finally hit him, and he looked at me with surprise.  I smirked and throwing air his way, knocking him to the ground.  He looked at me and then started to look around frantically.  Sesshomaru came at him from behind.  The man blocked Sesshomaru’s attack by using a shield.  Sesshomaru stayed on him, swinging when there was an opening, and trying to knock him off his feet, this guy is good.  I saw the man reach for a dagger in his belt.  “Noo!”  I used what I could and was able to block the attack.  I have used to much energy, this isn’t good, we have to get out of here, and fast.  I blew the guy back, and grabbed onto Sesshomaru.  I knew that we needed help, we need as much help as we could get, I guess I am going to have to bring others into this, even if I don’t want to.  Absorbing Sesshomarus energy and transporting us all at the same time, is a bit tricky, but it worked.  Although right when we were begging to leave the fight I saw the man throw a dagger, I was to distracted to stop it, and keep Sesshomaru out of the way from it. 

We disappeared and we appeared in the living room of Inuyasha and Kagome’s home.  Inuyasha parents were in the living room along with Inuyasha and Kagome.  My stomach and side hurt.  Inuyasha eyes grew wide, Kagome and Izayoi jumped and placed their hands over their hearts, while Inu-taishu narrowed his eyes.  I looked down, and saw the dagger.

“Well that doesn’t look good.”  My knees grew week, and they gave out.  Sesshomaru caught me and picked me bridal style.  I heard Kagome getting to work, “Bring her here.”  She cleaned off the kitchen table and Sesshomaru placed me on it.  Inuyasha was next to come in along with his parents.  Ino-taishu kept his eyes narrowed, and glared.  Oh boy.  My vision began to get a bit blurry, I shook my head, I have to stay awake.  I can’t fall asleep.  Sesshomaru held my hand, and I squeezed his hand when he went to move to try to help do something.  I was not letting his hand go, I looked at Kagome and Izayoi. 

They were trying to get ingredients together to help me.  And what not, also thinking that it was a regular normal dagger.  “Its poisoned.”

They stopped and looked at me.  “How do you know its poisoned? I don’t smell any poison”  Inuyasha asked. 

“Yeah I know, I made it.  It’s meant for demons, it won’t harm humans, much, but it can cause me to get sick, if not done right.  If it were kagome or Izayoi in my situation it wouldnt affect them, but me, well.”  I looked to Sesshomaru and he understood what I meant by that, then I looked at Kagome, she showed me what she had, and I nodded to her.  First she started to smash everything together, as Izayoi gathered the materials to wrap my wound.  “Inuyasha get the fire going, and put a poker or knife in the fire.”

“Why?”

“Just do it, okay.”  He nodded and I looked up at Sesshomaru, I smiled at him.  Squeezing his hand tightly in mine, for him to squeeze back.  I looked at Inu-taishu, I smiled at him the best I could, “Surprise.”  I said, and cringed, that hurt.  I laid my head back down on the table and looked up at Sesshomaru, he looked hurt and lost.  I just held his hand tighter, and started speaking with him, only him, through our minds.  “I will be fine, just don’t let go of my hand.”  He nodded and held my hand.  Kagome finished and looked down at me. 

“Do you want to or?” I asked her.

“No I will do it.”  She answered before I could even finish.

“Okay.”

She grabbed a wooden spoon and wrapped some fabric around it and gave it to me, putting it in my mouth.  She looked at Inu-taishu and called him dad, Sesshomaru’s face was priceless, I held his tighter, to help calm him and myself.  Taking deep quick breaths to prepare myself. 

“Inuyasha bring that poker here, Dad I need you to help hold her, just incase.”  He held my lower body down, by holding my legs, and inuyasha brought the poker over, as Kagome looked at me.  She placed one hand on my stomach near the dagger, and the other hand grabbed the dagger.  She pulled and I turned my head, biting down, trying not to scream out in pain.  She took the poker and then stuck in me, on my wound.  That really hurt.  My nails dug into Sesshomarus arms that sense he had to hold my shoulders down.  I screamed slightly but it was muffled by me biting down.  Kagome then placed the ingredients on the wound, and had Sesshomaru help me sit up some to wrap me.  I was still in my kimono, but they had to rip it, down the middle.  So once that was done the men left, except for Sesshomaru, as Kagome and Izayoi helped dress me, and clean me the best that they could.  Inuyasha and his father came back in right when my eyes closed, and darkness surrounded me.  Although I did hear them, before completely losing consciousness.  There was growling and fighting going on.
