I had left five years ago. Sure I had promised that one day I would go back, but I never thought it would be this soon. Five years didn't seem like long enough. Not long enough for everyone to forgive me for leaving. Not long enough for them all to understand understand.

But there I was, outside my old house, the taxi already having driven away so all that was left was for me to walk forward. I was scared shitless.

Flashback:

I could tell he was gaining on me. I may be able to run faster then most humans, but not demons. I had the speed equivalent to most half-demons. Inuyasha had only ever been able to beat me in races by mere seconds, and he was fast for a half-demon.

But this guy was a demon, and a full-fledged one at that. I had absolutly no hope of out running this problem.

Of course tonight was the night that I had chosen to stay late at the office to finish up some paper work...

I could see the end of the street, so close and yet so far away at the same time. I took a quick look over my shoulder to see where Naraku was, but instantly regretted it. He was right there, I could smell the alcohol in his breath and was reminded of my step-father.

I tripped and fell to the ground, Naraku was on top of me in less then a second, pinning me there. I struggled against his hold, but I was powerless. He held both my hands above my head in just one of his hands while the other travelled lower down my body.

"I much prefer it when they run. Makes it even more satisfying when I catch them." he said, his hand running up my skirt.

"Pig." I growled out and I spat on him. He snarled at me and I felt something cut me across the stomach and then I was slapped in the face.

"Now, unless you want me to go after that little son of yours, I suggest you don't don't do that again."

I knew he wasn't kidding. I knew that as soon he was done with me he would go and get rid of Kyo, and probably kill his baby-sitter Sara at the same time.

So I stopped moving.

I closed my eyes but as soon as I did Kyo's beautiful face came to my mind. With it pictures of all my friends and family. And Sesshomaru.

I never let myself think about Sesshomaru. I usually ended up crying or something along those lines. Then Kyo would worry about me and it would just turn into some massive fiasco.

But this time I held onto the image of him. His gorgeous silver hair shining in the sun with the humorous glint in his golden eyes. Next to him was Kyo, his chocolate brown hair and silver dog ears shining in the sun as well with his playful golden eyes and cheeky grin on his face.

I couldn't let him go any further. I could already feel his hands abusing me and had to stop it. I could feel Sesshomaru and Kyo urging me to make him stop, to fight back. I could practically hear them telling me to use my powers. I had stopped using them when I left, not wanting to be reminded of my past. But the situation called for it, so I did something I hadn't done for five years.

I used my energy. That was my power. I could release large amounts of energy from my body, burning anyone it touched.

I released my energy and Naraku's body flew off mine. I didn't wait to see what happened to him or how much damage I had caused to our surroundings. I just got up and ran.

I just kept on running, not stopping. It started to rain and I just kept on going. I finally reached my apartment. I raced up the stairs and fumbled with my keys until I found the right one. I burst through the door and then quickly shut it behind me.

"Oh my god. Rin are you alright?" I turned around and found Sara standing there with a glass of milk in her hand, a look of complete shock on her face. Rei, my dog, was jumping up at my legs trying in vain to lick my face.

"Yes. It's been a long night."

"Are you sure you're alright? You're bleeding... Badly..." I saw her eyes widen even further when she saw my stomach. I looked down and saw that my shirt had been ripped and there was a massive cut running along my stomach. Sure enough as soon as I noticed it the pain set it.

"Shit..." I muttered, then fell to my knees, clutching my stomach. I heard Sara run towards me and saw Kyo run out of his room. Rei started running around barking madly, wondering why no one was paying attention to him.

Everything started to go blury and I struggled to stay concious. I heard Sara call an ambulance and Kyo trying to lick parts of the wound clean. He was only young though and I knew he wouldn't be able to heal the whole thing.

"Don't leave me mummy! Don't leave me! Just hold on!" I heard him scream, but I couldn't hold on any longer and I slipped into unconsciousness.

End Flashback.

That was why I was here. I couldn't stay any longer in Osaka. Not with Naraku still out there. I hadn't told the police, mainly because I didn't want Kyo to be in anymore danger then he already was, but also because no matter who went against Naraku in court always lost. Evidence went missing or was just ignored, jurys and judges were bribed (though no one could ever prove it), the victims lawyers would refuse to do the case, most likely due to threats made against their families, though again it was never proved. He was impossible beat, and with my background I knew I didn't stand a chance.

That was why I intended to forget about it as soon as I could and move on as quickly as I could with my life. Kyo knew what had occurred, I didn't believe in keeping things from him, though I did edit the story a bit. I said that my boss thought of me in a different way then I did for him and got angry when I didn't return his feelings. Sure the truth had been a bit stretched but I didn't exactly want to tell him that Onigumo Naraku, one of the most powerful business men in Japan, had attacked me, threatened me and tried to rape me. I thought that might have been a bit much for a four year old.

"Are you alright mummy?" Kyo asked, normally he would have tugged on my hand or something along those lines, but he was holding Rei with both his hands, close to his chest. Rei acted like a safety blanket for Kyo, I had asked him why once and he just said that he reminded him that no matter how small he was he could be brave.

He was looking up at me with his big golden eyes and I was reminded of why I was here. Kyo needed to be protected, but it was also time that he met his father. He had always asked questions about him and I had always told him whatever he wanted to know. It made me feel guilty that he knew that Sesshomaru was his father, but Sesshomaru didn't know that he had a son.

"I'm fine, just excited to see everyone again." I could tell he didn't believe me, he showed this by just rolling his eyes.

"How long has it been since you have seen them?" Kyo asked, he was always asking questions, and he could always tell when I was lying.

"To long. I didn't even get the chance to say good bye to everyone. But I guess this is a good chance to make up for it."

With that we walked up the front steps and knocked on the front door.

Here's the sequel! I tried to make it so that if people hadn't read 'A New Life' that they would still be able to understand what was going on. Though I would recommend that those who haven't to do so...

I know it's only short, I guess it's sort of an intro into the story.

I don't own Inuyasha, please review!! I tend to update a lot quicker if I have more reviews ^.^
