Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
a/n-- I'm thinking of starting to say 'I won't update until I get however many reviews'…but I can't really do that right now because I've got around four chapters ready to go. After that, maybe…but that all depends on you guys!

Part TwoFear
She had wings. Not just your normal, run-of-the-mill wings. These were on fire. These were black, blue, and green. And, to make things even more impossible, she had a tail to match!
Then the drama just died because she didn't have the energy to panic. That caused her to remain in a shocked and confused state of mind. It took a moment for her to notice that these things were stuck to her, and they made water an even bigger pain than it already was.
She got to her feet and ran to the shelter of the oak, then bravely glanced down at her kimono. It was soaked and muddy and showing far too much skin. She tried to pull the garment back onto her shoulders, and discovered it was stuck underneath her wings. The best she could do was pull up the front of it, embarrassing her, even though she was alone.
Then she heard Sesshomaru call her name.
It was faint, but it was defiantly him. At first, she felt relieved. He would take her to a better shelter and make a fire to keep her warm…then she remembered her new handicap. What would he think of it? Would he even recognize her? She didn't know. She wiped her muddy, tear-streaked face and heard Sesshomaru call for her again.
This was all too much for the young and very confused Rin. Her eyes filled with tears, hating what she felt she must do.

Sesshomaru called for Rin. He felt fear flicking in the back of his mind. She hadn't answered once, and the wolves scent was growing stronger. He didn't want her to die in their teeth again.
He came upon a clearing. Rin's scent was strong here.
So was the birds'.
He quietly picked one of the many blackish feathers that lay on the ground and sniffed it. It proved two things. One: there was definitely a bird. And two: Rin had been here, with the bird. He studied the clearing carefully with growing fear, for now he had reason to believe she was dead.

Dramatic, right? I'm going for the whole 'Sesshomaru knows he loves Rin, doesn't deny it, but doesn't tell her' idea. It ought to make things…interesting.
