Chapter 2
It was a starless night and the sky had a slight tinge of orange because of all the lights of the city. For all Rin knew there could've been billions of stars out but they just weren't visible to her at the moment. A strong wind pulled at her hair and clothing, and she just realized that she had left her jacket inside, but if everything went as planned she soon wouldn't need it. Rin could feel the humidity in the air clinging to her skin, and could taste it in her mouth. She could tell that a storm was brewing and would be apon the city soon. She slowly walked across the vast roof, and made it to the edge where there was a short metal fence. She assumed this was so no one would fall off the roof or something. She swallowed the nausea making her way up her throat as she dared herself to look over the edge. She closed her eyes and leaned over the railing slightly, then forced her eyes open. She blanced at the sight of the street far below. She wouldn't of been able to see the cars on the road if it weren't for their headlights.
Bile rose into her throat and before she could vomit she swallowed it as quickly as possible. She shakily stepped back from the edge of the roof and sat down on the cold cement underneath her. She tried to reasure herself that she was on solid ground for a moment or two, and pressed her hands on the cement below her. Rin tried to calm herself down, and realiezed that this wasn't such a good idea. She hadn't known she was so bad with heights. She knew that she disliked them but she hadn't known they had terrified her. It probably not heights in general, it was just how high this building was. After about five minutes she slowly stood up on shaking legs and closed her eyes for a moment.
She stepped back towards the railing and put her foot on one of the poles that was going across. Rin gripped a higher pole then swung her other leg over the higher pole. She sat down on the higher pole and then swung her other leg over. She was then sitting on a building that was 110 stories with her feet dangling off the edge, and her eyes were still closed. Rin's palms were sweaty with fear, and her grip was slippery on the pole. She swallowed hard then opened her eyes after a second. She gasped as the reality of the situation hit her. She was pretty much about to die, she wondered if she'd have any flash backs while she was falling. Or was that only for people who were slowly dying? If it was then Rin was pretty sure there were no flash backs in it for her, because once she hit the ground she'd be dead. There would be no need to rush her to a hospital and waste one of their rooms. They would just put her into a morge, and it would be over with. Her mother would be informed and she would cry, but after a while she would realize it was for the best. All her pain would be gone.
Rin wasn't very religious, but she couldn't help but wonder if she would be going to heaven or hell... if either one of those places existed. She decided if God did exist she would be in hell, deserved to be in hell. But even though she knew where she would end up she closed her eyes and gave a silent plea to God, hoping he would listen and care, maybe even take some pity on her pathetic existance and decide to let her rest in peace instead of eternal damnation. She opened her eyes again and forced herself to look down at the street below, knowing that was where they would have to peal her broken form from the ground. And she was slightly sad that she felt to replution to that thought. She wasn't afraid of dying, she was afraid of the fall that she would have to take in order to die. In reality she was more afraid of living than anything. She knew that unless she was dead, the people she loved and trusted would take advantage of her. And she would hurt the people she loved. In her mind she was saving everyone including herself, from pain, by taking the easy way out of this hurrendous life.
Rin couldn't help but ope that there would be no flash backs for her, flash backs would just give her the pain she wanted to escape from. They would ruin the moment of bliss. Even though her body was now shaking, her palms were slick, her mind felt completly calm for once, she was ready, and just was she was about to release the bar and let her body fall forward she heard a voice. At first she thought it was just in her mind but when she looked around out of curiousity she saw an adonis leaning on the railing about a yard away from her. "What?" Rin asked dumbly. The man looked irritated that he had to repeat himself, "I said, Are you going to jump or what?" Rin realized he must have been standing there for a while, and she was surprised that she didn't even smell the cigarrette that was hanging casually between his index finger, and his middle finger. His long silver hair was blowing in the wind and Rin was surprised that he could even light a cigarrette in this weather.
"Well, are you?" he asked again even more annoyed. Rin realized that she had been staring at him blankly for about a minute. "Why do you care? And what if I'm just sitting here enjoying the view?" Rin replied. She started to get nervous, thinking he would try to stop her and ruin her plans. This plan had been in motion since she was younger, she even set a date, and this was the exact one, she was good at making plans, and usually she followed through with them. The man looked at her, "I highly doubt you're just up here for the scenery, and I don't care, I'm just wondering if I need to hire another employee to take your place... Judging by the clothing... And the smell, I would say second floor." Rin realized that he didn't care at all that another human life was about to dissapear, and couldn't help but feel insulted.
She galred at him, "Why are you even up here? Just leave me be." The silver haired adonis looked at her for a minute, "I'm up here for a cigarrette, and I'll leave when I'm done... How'd you even get up here I thought you worked on the second floor." Rin stared at him wishing that he would just leave, "Took the elevator, then the stairs, fairly easy". Rin found it odd that they were talking about how she got to the roof when she was about to jump. She wished he hadn't said anything in the first place or else she'd be dead by now. "Damn security, I need to get new staff", Rin heard him mutter to himself. Rin couldn't help herself, she just had to ask, "Do you even care that I'm about to jump, or do you have no heart at all?" The man didn't even flince, "I don't care at all, you are just another insignificant human, who wants to die when things get rough, your race is vermin, and your just one more rat that I don't have to deal with anymore". He took a drag of his cigarrette then flicked it over the railing. He turned around and walked into the building.
Rin was slightly stuned but it didn't really bother her plans. But she needed a few more minutes to sit there and think. She had all the time in the world, she could sit and do nothing and it didn't matter because she would die soon. So she sat and pondered life for a while more.
The silver haired adonis walked into the warmth of the building and walked down a flight of stairs. He opened another door that led to a beautifuly decorated room, but it really did nothing for him. He couldn't have cared less that everything in the room was probably at least 10,000 dollars. As he passed his secretary, who was sitting at a desk by the entrance to his office, he halted for a moment. "There is a girl on the roof, you can either get her down from there, or call someone to scrape her remains from the sidewalk. Either way I don't care, I just want her gone". The woman stared at him startled for a second then got up to do what he told her to do. He started walking for a second but stopped again, "Oh, and fire the security on the 100th floor, they aren't doing their jobs properly". Then he disapeared behind a door.
His secretary ran up the stairs, with slight difficulty because she was wearing heels, and burst throught the door. She saw a girl sitting on an unsteady railing that looked like it was about to break any moment now. The woman glanced at her noisey heels and slipped them off. She knew that if she tried to talk the girl down she would probably just jump, so she was going to get her down by force. The cement under her bare feet was cold but she didn't really care, all's she wanted to get to the girl as quickly and quietly as possible. Unlike her boss she tried to preserve human life. She tried to avoid anything on the ground that would make noise and quietly she ran over to the girl. When she was right behind her, she grabbed Rin and pulled her quickly down from the railing. Rin screamed as arms wrapped around her stomach, and started to try to get away.
"Stop it!" a woman's voice yelled into her ear, "Don't make me hurt you because I will". Rin stopped thrashing for a moment, then tried to turn around and push the woman away. But she was to strong to fall for her tricks. She grabbed she in the tightest grip she could manage without hurting her and pulled her away from the edge of the building and toward the door. Rin started trying to fight back again, "Let me go! LET ME GO!" After being elbowed in the face, the woman had enough and pressed hard with her thumb and middle finger underneath Rin's jawline, and the girl went limp in her arms. The secretary sighed in relief and slung her over her back easily. This girl really needed to get a decent meal, she felt like she was just skin a bones.
She walked into the building and put her on one of the couches in the waiting room. It wasn't that late yet but most of the meetings were over. Another woman walked out of an office adjacent from the silver haired adonis's office where another ailver haired adonis worked. He had been having an affair with his secretary for a while now. When the other woman spotted the passed out girl lying on the couch she rushed over. "Oh my God, Sango, What happened?", she asked the secretary. Sango looked down at the small girl. "She was on the roof, and was about to jump, then I snuck up behind her and pulled her away from the edge. She then started freaking out and elbowed me in the face, hence the bruised eye, so I got pissed off and made her pass out using pressure points", Sango replied as if that happened everyday, "What should we do with her Kagome?"
"Maybe bring her to a hospital, she looks slightly malnourished, and they could probably set her up with a therapist. And you might've killed her by do making her pass out, so who knows she may have succeeded anyways". Sango winced as Kagome said that, hopefully the girl would be fine. Kagome looked around for a second, and looked at the door she had just came out of. "Maybe we should get Inuyasha to bring her down", Kagome suggested. Sango frowned, "I'll be fine I can carry her!" Kagome just shook her head and walked over to the door she just came out of. In a minute Inuyasha appeared from behind her frowning. He walked over to the couch and picked the girl up. She was small when she wasn't compared to someone like Inuyasha, but being held by him dwarfed her significantly. Inuyasha's frown deepened when he realized how light she was, he could feel her bones easily through her skin, and she looked like if he jostled her too hard she'd shatter into tiny pieces.
They walked over to the elevator, and the door opened, then walked into the small box, and were shut in by two thick metal doors.
