final chapter: awoken
Kagome kneeled cradling Rin's head in her arms "why Rin, why?. Please come back" Kagome sobbed, stroking Rin's tatted silver hair, Inuyasha touched his mates shoulder comfortingly "he's here" Inuyasha's gruff voice "where?" Kagome asked dangerously, looking up she noticed Inuyasha's eyes widen "K-Kagome" Inuyasha stuttered pointing to Rin's motionless form "wh-" Kagome began only to interrupt herself with a gasp, a pink light was emitting off of Rin "w-what's going on" Kagome queried confused and frightened, Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome's arm yanking her to her feet "get away from her, a demonic spirit has over taken Rin's body" Inuyasha growled protective instincts taking over, placing a hand on Tetsuaiga's hilt ready in a battle stance, Inuyasha took in a deep inhalation of the demons scent over taking Rin, 'what, how can that be' Inuyasha thought, stiffening in an instance his whole body screamed tense and he dropped his jaw "d-dad" Inuyasha whispered barely loud enough for Kagome to hear, but she heard perfectly
INUYASHA'S FOREST
The scent of death which surrounded was sickening to Jaken as the trio trudged slowly through the forests of Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru was numb all over, he didn't understand how one girl a human even had the power to form a lump in his throat, upon hearing the news from Jaken that Rin was barely hanging on a few hours until death, Sesshoumaru had gone into what he thought was shock, his eyes had watered, but nothing fell from them and his jaw was set and clamped in an awkward position, he didn't want to believe it, at first he didn't but every step he took through the forest the more it dawned on him 'I'll never see my Rin again, her sweet singing, laughs' Sesshoumaru figured gloomily as he picked up pace. Not long before they would arrive, Sesshoumaru came to stand still 'was that...' Sesshoumaru pondered taking another sniff in the air 'undeniable, what is going on' Sesshoumaru growled out loud taking off at top speed leaving Jaken and AhUn in a confused state.
RIN'S HUT
At the mention of the word dad, Rin's eyes snapped open and the pink emitting from around her disappeared, except the eyes didn't belong to Rin's they were crimson red "Inuyasha son, take Kagome hurry out of this hut now" Inutaishio's deep baritone voice cut through the air coming from Rin's body which puzzled Inuyasha to the point of a gaping mouth "IF YOU DON'T MOVE YOU AND KAGOME WILL DIE NOW RUN" Inutaishio bellowed, Rin's body was beginning to glow white and her limp form was being lifted into the air by an unseen force "Inuyasha" Kagome whimpered her eyes fixed on Rin, Inuyasha having no choice but to obey who he was sure was his father grabbed Kagome's wrist "LETS GET OUT OF HERE" Inuyasha yelled scooping Kagome up into arms bridal style he leapt out the door of the hut, seeing Sesshoumaru emerge at top speed from the forest, Inuyasha panicked he was heading straight for the hut "SESSHOUMARU, GET AWAY FROM THE HUT" Inuyasha bellowed from the sidelines at the edge of the forest Sesshoumaru stopped raising a silver brow at Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru found alarmingly that his fathers scent was mixed with Rin's and a blinding white light was coming from the inside of the hut "Sesshoumaru move now" Inutaishio's voice ordered the hut shaking with the force of everything around, Sesshoumaru being speechless complied unconsciously leaping to Inuyasha's side
-BOOM-
The hut exploded, planks and debris flying everywhere, as a bright white light beams flew in all directions, a gust of wind picked up, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Kagome squinted to see their hairs blowing wildly in the wind, from the destroyed hut an old frail Rin was glowing bright white lights as her body floated upwards being held in mid air, with her feet dangling, arms out wide and head bent to the ground below her, Kagome watched in awe as Rin began to pulse and the white light fade more each time, with every pulse which came, Rin's face lost it's wrinkles, her hair faded darker until it reached midnight black once more growing from it's scraggly shoulder length rat tails to a healthy waist length her arms and legs once again became slender and feminine, a whirl wind engulfed the girl as her eyes snapped open "Lord Inutaishio? Don't go please" Rin pleaded, shocked to hear her voice a musical, soft tone instead of her old croak "Rin this is my gift to you, I've passed down my life span to you, use it well but watch out, you're still human, a demonic life span doesn't change that fact, you will not be immune to sickness and are still more vulnerable to the weapons of mankind" Inutaishio exclaimed "make me proud" Inutaishio whispered before a pink glow once again came from Rin's form as Inutaishio left her body, he'd completed his part of the mission with that Rin fell to the ground landing in an unconscious heap in a foetus position. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stood blinking repeatedly trying to figure out what exactly had happened 'fathers scent has left her now' Sesshoumaru concluded in his mind ' she's young again I don't understand, she looks like a beautiful adolescence not an old hag' Inuyasha frowned scratching his head at the thought, he took a step forward towards Rin, Kagome should wake up in a moment or two, she'd fainted whilst witnessing the transformation of Rin old to Rin young, Sesshoumaru was standing stunned, it had just registered that Rin wasn't on her death bed anymore, but alive, young and breathing in front of him, it was like a dream come true but at the same time to much for even the powerful demon lord to process. From the edge of the forest Kagome stirred "ahh" Kagome groaned, propping herself up on her elbows, Kagome gasped when all the memories from previous moments came flooding back "Rin" Kagome whispered bring a hand up covering her mouth with wide frightened eyes, looking over she saw Rin's unconscious form "idiots don't just stand there!" Kagome huffed, struggling to get to her feet, Kagome scurried over to Rin, kneeling beside her, she gently shook her from the shoulders "Rin...Rin...Rin" Kagome called softly wanting to wake the sleeping woman, Rin stirred eyebrows furrowing before, young, innocent chestnut eyes snapped open, blinking to adjust focus, Rin pulled herself up into a sitting position, holding her head with one hand "ugh" Rin grunted she wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings, jumping when Kagome's hand touched her shoulders "Rin" Kagome whimpered with tear filled eyes "Kagome" Rin replied a wide breath taking smile spread across her face, Sesshoumaru from a few feet away was having a lot of trouble keeping his posture, Inuyasha on the other hand walked cautiously towards Rin and his mate breaking into a smile of his own "welcome back Rin" Inuyasha greeted in a cheerful voice "but you kind of blew up your home, so don't ask me where you'll live from now on" Inuyasha shrugged "Inuyasha" Kagome warned, Rin so happy to watch the little scene play out, broke out into a giggle which turned into a full blown laugh, stopping the feuding couple in an instant "What's so funny" Inuyasha snapped earning a growl form another party, Rin recognising the growl from so many years ago snapped her gaze upwards, seeing the handsome figure she hadn't seen for years "Sesshoumaru" Rin's voice was barely audible "Rin" Sesshoumaru's deep voice was the same as always but there was something in the depths of it, that sent Rin in tears "is it really you" Rin stuttered through tears, pulling herself to her feet she glided over to the demon in question only stopping once she was in front of him , Sesshoumaru looked at her through half lidded eyes "don't ask such silly things Rin" Sesshoumaru demanded in a cold but soft voice, Rin knew at that, it was her lord "explain" Sesshoumaru softly stated, looking down at the girl he left against his hearts will eighty years ago "I met your father, he gave me the gift of his span of life as a rewards for the great courage, determination and devotion over the years" Rin exclaimed emotion filling her voice "why Rin, you took a great risk" Sesshoumaru queried finally feeling comfortable enough to tuck a black strand of hair behind her ear "I'd of done anything, just to see you again" Rin answered looking to the ground, Sesshoumaru didn't feel the need to reply to that in words, instead he lifted her chin repeating the action he'd done so many years ago and smiled at her, letting go of her chin Sesshoumaru picked up her hand from her side, placing something inside, looking down, Rin's eyes widened it was the piece of her hair in which she'd chopped off for him "you kept it with you all this time" Rin said more to herself than him "I have no need for it now you're standing before me once again, a second chance shouldn't go amiss, my love" Sesshoumaru tenderly spoke reaching out he grasped her kimono and pulled her to his chest in a tight embrace, leaning down he whispered "I will not let you go again, I love you Rin" with that said Rin wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru "and I love you" she softly told him, oblivious to the fact that Inuyasha was standing with an arm around Kagome who sighed in contentment "when you're in love, you'll do anything" Kagome informed.
