Meet their fate

(This would be my second fan fiction since the last one went phenomenally well (thank you to those who favorited, followed and review) and I thought I could try something new. Now let the story begin.

"Look Kana it cries." Kagura jested poking Rins side with the tip of her foot.

Rin looked up at her abusor hell bent on not showing her weakness.

"Yes Kagura." Rin breathed out. "It cries."

Kaguras eyes widen in anger. Bringing her hand back then flung it forward smacking Rin on the cheek. Rin fell to the ground covering her already bruised cheek.

"Filthy wretch. No wonder your parents gave you up." Kagura spat.

Rubbing her hand Kagura continued to glare at Rin who stayed silent on the ground.

"Kana." Kagura called looking to the shadows of the hall. Out appeared a child with white hair and an oval mirror in her hands.

"Yes?" Kana asked with a cold distant voice.

"Clean up the witch. And tell Kaede-sama that she fell." Kagura looked down at Rin who was flaring up at her. Kagura did a swift kick to Rins mid-section and heard the sicken crack of her ribs breaking.

"Twice." Kagura smiled in satisfaction and walked away from the two.

Kana watched as Kagura turned the corner and immediately dropped to her knees next to Rin. Placing her mirror next to her knees Kana ghosted her hands over Rins wounded figure trying not to touch her.

"Leave it alone Kana." Rin breathed out.

"But Rin I can help."

A white glow started to surround Rin.

"No Rin. Please I can help." Kana pleaded reaching for Rin but the white light kicked her back.

Kana wat he'd in helplessness as the light became brighter then dulled down exposing a flawless Rin. The cuts and bruises that marred Rins porcelain skin were no longer there. Her doe brown eyes were no longer half closed with blue and black surrounding them and we plump pink lips were once again full. Even the ghastly scratches that Kagura raked down her arm didn't leave a scar. Rin even started to breathe regularly with her Rins back in place however she started to fall backwards.

Hastily Kana caught her before she could hit the cold stone floor beneath them. After seconds of waiting Rins eyes snapped open and she shot up into a sitting position quickly observing her surroundings. Looking around in momentary confusion until her hazel eyes landed on Kana who seemed to be holding her breath and tears. Quickly Rin wrapped her arms around her sister.

"I still remember." Rin whispered.

Kana let out a sob and clung to Rin like a lifeline.

"KANA!"

Both Rin and Kana separated abruptly. Rin stood first with Kana following suite while picking up her mirror.

"Go." Rin pushed Kana towards Kaguras biting voice.

"No...I don't-" Kana protested.

"Kana. You need to go." Rin said more firmly wiping away the remains of Kanas tears. Taking a deep steadying breath Kana gave Rin one weak smile then stoiced her face. Putting the mirror back in its respective place against her chest and walked past Rin and turned the same corner Kagura had.

Watching as her sister turn the corner Rin let out a breath she had been holding and slouched against the wall behind her tears leaking out of her eyes.

"I almost forgot." Rin whispered her tears coming down harder.

"Do you wish to die?" A cold baritone voiced asked a squirming toad demon.

"N-no m-mi l-lord." The toad demon stuttered instantly getting on his knees and bowing his head low to the ground.

"Then you will do well to remember that this one does not require such trivial things such as sleep." The inu-youki spat.

"O-of course mi-mi lord. It was foolish of me to-to say that someone as highly respected as you would-"

"Silence."

Instantly the rambling stopped.

"Leave."

"Yes Sesshomaru-sa...I-I m-m-mean my lord. My l-lord please f-forgive this lowly o-"

Sesshomaru growled and the toad demon scampered to his feet and fled the room as fast as his stubby legs could carry him.

"Incompetent servant." Sesshomaru snarled going back to his scrolls.

*Knock knock.*

*Knock knock knock*

Sesshomaru growled when no one got the door.

*knock knock knock kno-*

Sesshomaru ripped open the door to find a batted looking woman leaning on a slightly broken walking stick.

"Please you have to help my daughter." The human woman rasped coughing into her bloodied hand.

Sesshomaru looked over the dying woman with disdain and sneered.

"This Sesshomaru will do no such thing."

Almost closing the door the woman coughed out.

"He eats at you doesn't he? Your demon?"

Sesshomaru was at her neck in an instant holding her up in the air.

"You know nothing." Sesshomaru snarled squeezing the lady's neck.

"I-I do. I know that you haven't mated in the proper time so now he fights you for control. And you fight back." The woman strained clawing at Sesshomarus hand.

Sesshomaru glared at the woman a moment longer then dropped her to the ground.

"You know nothing human. Remove your hideous presence from my sight."

The woman grabbed her neck and stated to cough up more blood.

"Weak." Sesshomaru spat.

"Weak." The woman laughed wiping the blood from her chin with the back of her tattered sleeve.

Sesshomaru watched as the woman got up slowly using her broken stick for support. Soon the woman was standing up full height and looking at Sesshomaru with blank brown eyes.

"I thought you were different my lord. But I pity your predicament so I'll make you a deal." The woman said in a haunty voice a pink glow surrounding her lifting her from the ground.

"Help my daughter and I will subdue your demon completely. Do not help her and I will let your demon take over before your year of fighting is up. And I will have it kill you slowly."

Images of the girl he was suppose to be looking for flooded into his mind robbing him of his vision.

"But know this youki. I can only suppress your demon for and you still maintain control over him. But after your year is up he will take over and you will have no power then."

The pink glow died down and the woman dropped to the ground lifeless.

"Hn." Sesshomaru went to go back inside but he saw a red string on his pinky. Ignoring it Sesshomaru started to close the door until he felt he demon begin to surface. Growling irritably Sesshomaru picked his hand and found no end to the string nearby. So he followed it.

Soooo? What do you think? Continue?
