"My knees start to shake, when you're in sight, my mind's filled with wonder, my heart with fright. When will this feeling stop? When did it start? How can I listen to my mind, without breaking my heart? I'm so confused, what can I do? I can't think of anything." - Unknown


Rin couldn't believe it. How the hell did he keep popping up like that unexpected scaring her half to death especially when she was around her friends.

"Rin is something wrong?" Miroku looked at her puzzled trying to figure out what caused her to react that way.

"Uh no," Rin said knocking back the rest of her drink, "Give me another Hojo."

Another Long Island was passed to her and she quickly downed it.

"Rin it's not safe for you to drink that too fast!" Sango's warning fell on deaf ears.

"Another Hojo," she said slamming the glass down on the counter.

"Rin!" Kagome yelled, "Are you listening?"

"Kagome," Miroku said placing his hand on her shoulder, "your warnings are falling on deaf ears. Something is bothering her and she's about to drink until she feels better about it."

"She's going to get herself hurt," Kirara said, "I wonder what's ailing her."

"Could it be...," Kagome said looking at Sango.

"I don't know," Sango said as she glanced around the bar.


As her eyes shifted from person to person, she spotted the silver hair and gasped.

"Fuck," she drawled.

"What the hell is going on with you guys!" Kirara demanded banging her hands on the counter.

"See that silver haired demon over there," Kagome said pointing at Sesshomaru.

"Yeah," Miroku said glancing over at him, "what about him?"

"Rin's been having strange dreams about him lately," Sango said, "And we keep running into him. Rin's scared to death and honestly, I don't blame her. I'd be scared to death too if I were in her position."

"That's creepy," Kirara said, "and he stinks like dogs. I don't trust him."

"I don't trust him either," Miroku said.

"Give me another," Rin slurred.

"No," Kagome interjected, "no more, c'mon Rin, we're taking you home. Miroku, grab her."

Miroku picked Rin up and slung her over his shoulder. She hiccuped as she was bounced by his walking. Everyone else followed out after him.


"You heard that right, bastard?" InuYasha said glancing up at Sesshomaru.

"Yes," he said flatly, "that onna was here that I met some time ago. Apparently I appear in her dreams. I'll have to look deeper into it before I act."

He placed another shot of Bacardi to his lips and sipped it. Sesshomaru watched as they left the establishment, the man carrying the girl over his shoulder.

"Yes," he thought, "I must really get to the bottom of this. It's starting to get a little too strange. But that can wait until I complete my next assignment."

Finishing off the drink, Sesshomaru stood from his seat and looked at his half brother.

"I'm leaving." he said before he turned on his heel and disappeared into the crowd.

"That bastard is strange on so many different levels," InuYasha muttered to himself, "I guess that's what I get for having an assassin for a brother, feh."

Slamming down the glass that was in his hand he stood and left the club.

Sesshomaru slinked through the dark alley ways to his next assignment. This one was a woman, a ningen. It should be easy. Arriving at the house, he floated outside of the window where he sensed the girl. Looking through the window at her, he gasped when he realized who she was. It was the girl he had seen in the club only a few hours ago.

"What the hell," he thought to himself, "This is my next target?"


Author's Note: Oh holy hell. It's starting to get to the main plot. This story won't be too long, I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 10 chapters. Anyways, next chapter is where it starts to get intense. Until then, REVIEW!
