Hey hey hey, I know I should be working on my other stories but I can't find motivation or idea's, so at the moment they are being discontinued but I'll probably finish them later, and now I'm only going to publish one story at a time so I'm not dissapointing anyone with my late chapters and stuff. But hope you enjoy, it's better than it sounds :D! Just bare through the first few chapters with me because there is no Sesshomaru :( or at least the way I'm planning it right now but it may change.

Oh and by the by when it goes into italics and has '......' those thingy's around it then someone is thinking that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but it would be very nice to be able to molest his brother :D:D

Chapter 1

A girl with rich chocolate brown hair stood in the middle of a- for the most part- vacant airport. She could imagine tumble weeds blowing by, but there was no wind. Her plain black suitcase was beside her along with her black fashionable purse. She stared down at it wondering why she had it anyway, she hated carrying around purses, she would rather just have a wallet. She heard an annoying trilling sound coming trouble her purse, and realized her phone was ringing. The girl searched through her purse hoping not to miss the call and answered the phone just before it was about to go to voice mail. "Hello?", she answered in an overly poliet voice, even though she was througly annoyed. "Rin?" a woman's voice asked. Rin could tell by the voice that it was her mother.

"Ya", Rin said. "Oh well... I'm sorry we haven't picked you up yet honey, but we had some... problems... at home", her mother said. Rin could tell by the tone of voice that her parents had a fight again and had forgotten about her. "Are you still at home?", Rin asked, the airport was about 45 minutes away from her house. "Uh, ya, sorry... How about you take a cab... Have you been waiting for us long?"

"No I haven't been waiting long". That was a lie she'd actually been waiting for half an hour but she didn't want her mom to feel bad. And it was partly her fault anyways for not calling and reminding them to pick her up, but she just assumed that sooner or later they'd remember her again and they'd come pick her up.

"I'll be home in 45 minutes I guess, bye."

Rin hung up the phone before her mother had a chance to reply. She wan't actually her real mother, Rin was an orphan. Her parents' left her at a church- without so much as a note- a couple days after she was born. She had been raised by the nunes until she was given to a foster home a couple years before. She had never found out who her real parents were, the nunes had known but whenever Rin had asked, they would just tell her "They were no good teenagers who were always hopped up on LSD and Cocaine, you're better off that they left you here in capable hands". They would never say anything other than that, and Rin learned to stop caring, though she had always wondered if they had gotten high while her biological mother was pregnant. Maybe that would explain why she was "the way she was".

Rin swung her purse over her shoulder, and pulled her luggage on it's wheels towards the automatic doors. She was nervous about getting in a cab by herself, whenever she had taken a cab before there was always an adult with her, and she had extreme trust issues. Mostly with men, but she had a bit of trouble with the same sex too. She didn't really have a reason not to trust, they had never done anything to her but for some reason they had always frightened her. And from her experience all taxi drivers are men.

Rin shivered as she walked outside, a cold wind blew her long hair everywhere, and tugged at her clothing. A cab was about to pass and she meekly singled it. The ugly yellow car pulled in beside her and a man got out to help get put her luggage inside the trunk. She slipped into the back seat, and mumbled where she lived, while trying no to think about how uncomfortable the ride home was going to be. She tried not to notice, and slipped into memories of her vacation.

She had been gone for about 3 weeks, she was only a few cities over from where she lived, but it was nice to get away from school and her family. She was visiting her foster aunt, because her foster uncle just died and she had needed some consoling after her husband dyed. Rin had always been her Aunt's favourite so they just sent her over for a few weeks. It was sad without her uncle there, and her aunt was devistated when Rin had gotten there, but when Rin left she had seemed a little better. Rin had wanted to ask her aunt if she could live with her but she was to afraid that she would say no, and she was afraid her mom would be mad, and sad. She still loved them, but she was sick and tired of all the fighting.

Even the people in her Aunt's city were nicer, they would say hello on the streets, and it didn't seem like all the teenagers there were smoking, doing drugs, and drinking. Although it was more of a small town than a city, and everybody knew each other there. But it was just such a nice change from the dirty rat infested city that she lived in, even though she lived closer to the out skirts of the city, it was still pretty bad. Every where you looked there was someone stumbling along the streets drunk, or sniffing glue in the corner where they think they're invisable. Rin wondered if it was just the nieghbourhood that she lived in that was so bad, or if it was jus the whole city. She hadn't really ventured out of her neighbourhood often, just to go to the closest mall a couple times.

Rin couldn't help but wonder how her family afforded to buy her a plane ticket there and back, and pay for her cell phone bill, although she didn't use it that often, only for emergencies. They weren't dirt poor, but they weren't that rich either. They're house was small, some of the wiring was faulty, and usually it was hard to get hot water for showers, but Rin wasn't going to complain. She was just happy she had a family, but latley all her parents seemed to do was fight, a few times it's gotten violent too, and her father lost his job a couple months ago, and now their savings was all going to alcohal. Rin hadn't really thought about it before but, how did they afford those tickets? She had a feeling that either they wouldn't be eating for a month, or her aunt paid for it. She also had a feeling that she was going to have to get ride of her cell phone too. She wouldn't complain, it wasn't that nescessary, and she barley used it. Rin decided that when she got home she was going to offer up the idea. She didn't want her parents to have to stress over another bill.

"It will be 60 dollars ma'm", a man's voice brought her out of her pondering. (I'm using dollars because the dollar to yen thing is confusing me) Rin fished through her purse and gave him the money before getting out of the cab and getting her luggage out of the trunk. She walked up her small driveway and opened the door, she wasn't expecting a big welcoming party, but she thought there would be at least people home when she got home. Her house was completly empty of her family. She looked in their rooms but they weren't there, she tried not to get upset that they didn't care that she was home and just went to her tiny room and unpacked her stuff. By the time she was finished unpacking it was already 12:30 am, and she was exhausted. She curled up in her warm bed and fell to sleep quickly.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Rin woke up the next morning and looked around the house, but they still weren't home, she was getting a little nervous, but she had no way of finding them so she just continued her day like she usually would. It was a weekend so she didn't have school until Monday. She was dreading it because she had 'exams'. The weren't exactly exams because they were basically just for practice, you don't get the real exams until you're in grade nine, and Rin was still only in grade eight.

She didn't really have much to do that day, so she just tidied the house and went to study for a Science 'exam' that they were doing on Monday. It was pretty boring, Science wasn't her best subject and she didn't find it interesting at all, they weren't old enough to sart doing actual experiments. They did some 'experiments' but to Rin an experiment was more than putting something in water and seeing what happens. She studied for about an hour and when she looked at the clock she realized it was already 3:00 pm. She was starting to really wonder where her mom and dad were. At around 7 when they still weren't home she started freaking outa bit. Rin had a really over reactive imagination, so she started coming up with all kinds of senarios and none of them were good. She paced for about two hours when the door opened. It was her mother and father. She felted like yelling at them, screaming at them for making her worry, for making her think that they had abandoned her like her biological parents...

But instead she pushed those feelings down, she wouldn't let the words she wanted to say come out of her mouth like verbal diarrhea, even though one of these days she knew that she would just explode and yell at everyone in her path. "Where have you guys been?" she asked as if she wasn't worried at all, or furious that they didn't call. "Grandma had a stroke... she's at the hospital", her mother said holding up her drunk father. Rin looked sadly at her dad, he couldn't even walk properly, so her mom had to support him. "Which Gradma?" Rin asked, she was worried about her grandma, but she was still furious with her parents. "Your father's mother", Her mom replied. Rin knew that her dad was going to be hell for the next few months, she remembered when her grandpa died, her dad was a wreck for three months, he was rarley sober, and he yelled at everyone for no reason.

Rin helped her mom get him to the couch, and he passed out almost right away. "Is Gradma going to be okay?" Rin asked hoping to God that she'd be fine. All's Rin got back for her hopes was a sad shake of the head. Rin walked quietly back to her room, and laid on her bed before falling asleep like her father in the other room. Her dreams were twisted into nightmares full of faceless suffering people. Ghosts of people she loved and people she never met. All cry out for her to save them from their torture. Their clammy hands gripping as her trying to pull her down with them. Rin awoke ten times that night, with strangled cries caught in her throat.
