Rin's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night, only to be welcomed with a wave of nausea. I rushed past the burning fire into the woods. I threw up what was left in my stomach and started to return to the fire.

I stumbled back to Ah-Un, but before i sat down I looked at lord Sesshomaru who was leaned against his usual tree. I wanted to apologise to him about wandering off. I looked at my arm that was now almost completely black and blue.

I walked, well...more like stumbled to Lord Sesshomaru, who quickly opened his eyes at the sense of my presence.

"Rin..What is it?" He asked me, looking at my arm, then into the fire.

"I-i want-ted to tell you that I am sorry." I stuttered, my hand started to shake, for standing for so long had taken its toll on my weak and frail body.

"What do you have to be sorry about Rin?" He questioned me, eyes locked keenly on the burning fire in frount of them.

Before I could answer I coughed. My hand flew up to my mouth to cover my coughing fit, but when I pulled away, blood painted itself on my hand.

Sesshomaru's POV

Rin's words pained me, she had no reason to apologies to me. I looked at the fire instead of her sweet kind face to stop any emotion that may slip through to show.

Only did i look when Rin went into what i thought was a minor coughing fit. Her hands came up to her mouth, only to show she was coughing up blood.

She fell to her knees as she looked at her hands.

"Lord Sesshomaru...Whats happening?" She asked me frightened. I picked her up. I walked swiftly towards Ah-Un who accepted the frail girl onto his back.

Not knowing where to go I Flew with Ah-Un into the sky. We wandered for about an hour when I saw a village. I looked back at Rin and she was quietly sleeping on Ah-Un.

We desended into the tiny village where we were welcomed by scared faces. everyone shrunk to there dwellings as we passed through the village.

A small shack could be seen. From the shack came Inuyasha by idiotic half brother, and his heroin, Kagome.

"What are you doing here!?" Inuyasha snarrled, kagome trying to hold him back.

"Im not here to associate with you." I spat back at him. I looked back towards Ah-Un and looked at Rin.

"Im here for her." I said quietly.

Inuyasha's tough act had subsided at the sight of rin. Her arm has now been ingulfed with the black and blue mark and her face was pale and sickly. Kagome ran forward and was about to take rin off of ah-uh but I quickly got infrount of Kagome and picked her up myself.

Kagome was taken back by this action, but motioned me into the tiny shack. Kaede, the other lady preistess was sitting inside.

"My goodness child! What in the world has happened." Kaede exclaimed seeing rin in such a horrible condition.

I was holding her in my arms as I looked at her expression. She seemed to be in pain, yet she was still told me to place her on the bed. I hesitated before gently placing Rin on the bed that was covered with a soft white cloth.I moved a stray peice of hair out of her face before backing away from the little girl.

"What happened to her?" Kagome asked looking towards me and then Rin. I closed my eyes and remembered everyhing that happened. I explained how Rin wondered off and picked a flower made from the Poison Master.

"That Bastard!" Screamed Inuyasha, his fists balling up in anger, showing his hatred. "He took Kagome and almost killed her! That it! We are going after him..."

I ignored the quarell that was going on and looked after rin. Kaede was already treating her with medicine and herbs she had.

"I need everyone to get out." Kaede said shooing everyone out of the hut. I was annoyed I had to leave, but did as I was told, for there was no other way to help Rin.

I was greeted by Ah-Un when I walked out and a slightly annoyed Jaken, who was upset about our sudden dissapearence.

I could no longer stay in this village, for I could tell my presence was not welcomed. I looked back towards Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha." I exclaimed walking towards him and his Lady Preistess. I emotionlessly looked into Inuyasha's eyes.

"What are you looking at!?" Inuyasha snarrled. looking back at me.

"If anything is to happen to Rin. I will kill you. So im asking you, just this once to please...Protect her."
