Perfect Doesn't Always Seem So Perfect

Chapter Six - "Wanna get married?"

Authoress: Dizzy Loser

"What happened to Sesshoumaru and Kagura, though?" Kagome asked InuYasha, who began reading again.

Sesshoumaru was filled with instant grief and he wasted no time in disposing of Kagura. Blood dripping down his hands, he picked up the still, cold body of Rin and held her. He didn't notice when another demon, loving the chance to attack the Lord of the West, came up behind him and decapitated him in one swift movement.

InuYasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were walking when they came upon the three bodies. Kicking Kagura's body to the side, Kagome and Sango cried over Rin's lifeless form. Kagome wiped her eyes, looking up at InuYasha with blood red eyes. He nodded and carried the two back to the well in the village where the four resided. He found a clear field and set to work digging a grave for each other.

When the work was over, the group said a few words and went to their respective houses to mourn.

Their graves still stand to this day, marked by two solid stones behind a great tree called the Goshinboku. The Goshinboku is easy to spot because of its enormous stature, but also because it's located near a well called the Bone Eater's Well.

InuYasha finished reading and looked up, noticing the shocked looks on Rin and Kagome's face.

"Isn't that..." Rin began and Kagome nodded.

"What?" The six looked at them curiously, but they only shook their heads.

"Another time. Tell us about Naraku." Rin said, looking at the ground.

"Keh. All it says here is that he's some bastard ass demon we all joined forces in defeating. Each had his own reasons for wanting to kill the bastard."

InuYasha was in a relationship with a priestess name Kikyou. Naraku conjured an evil scheme to seperate the two and Kikyou was killed. InuYasha was pinned to the tree, but Kagome, another priestess, came along and pulled the sacred arrow out of InuYasha. Blinking, he started complaining, only to have Kagome shush him. The two discovered that they both had a mutual enemy in Naraku and went to dispose of him. Along the way, they met a monk with a wind tunnel in his hand, a demon slayer who watched her enchanted brother kill her kin, a wolf demon who watched his comrades die, and the dog demon Sesshoumaru.

Ultimately, the group only fought when together, however, they soon joined forces at the final battle to dispose of Naraku once and for all.

Kagura, one of Naraku's toys, managed to escape and fled the battle. Yura, another of Naraku's adversaries, died on the field, along with Kanna.

"Fascinating, but what happens to me? You six live happily ever after, but where the hell is mine?" Ayame muttered, folding her arms in displeasure.

"'Kouga, heartbroken that Kagome chose InuYasha, returned to his property, only to discover Ayame.' Keh, boring as shit stuff. You get together with Kouga and have little wolf babies."

"That's one hell of a coincidence." Kagome said, trying to catch Rin's eye. Rin kept her gaze planted firmly on the ground, however.

"Yep. Too bad I don't believe in reincarnation." Kouga grinned widely, still stroking Rin's shoulder. "So, Ayame. Wanna get married?"

Ayame's answer was a pillow to Kouga's face.

"So, anyways. I was going to have Sesshoumaru dress up like... well, Sesshoumaru and I was going to be you!" Sango explained to Rin who merely nodded her head.

"Go for it." Rin told her, picking up her mechanical pencil and getting to work again.

The groups continued to work on their project and, soon enough, they were mostly done. Agreeing to meet back at the Taishou Manor tomorrow night, everyone went to their respective houses.

"Am I to assume you're quiet because that Rin in the story has more than just a few coincidences to you?" Kagome asked Rin when they entered their house. Rin shrugged and reached down to pick up Buyo who nuzzled himself into Rin's arms.

"Of course not. I'm just quiet." Rin said, walking up the stairs to her room. Upon reaching her room, she threw herself on her bed and curled up around Buyo.

"I know it hurts, Rin, but your parents and brother are in a better place, now..." Kagome moved to sit down on Rin's bed.

"It's not a better place if they're dead." Rin mumbled into her pillows. Kagome sighed and stood up.

"Just don't dwell on it, alright?" Rin waved her hand and Kagome took that as a sign of submission.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

-----(Sesshoumaru)

Sesshoumaru sat in the dark den staring off into space for quite a long time before he heard someone walk into the room.

"Sesshoumaru?" A voice said. Sesshoumaru looked up and caught the gaze of two amber eyes, much like his.

"Hn. Sesshoumaru grunted his acknowledgement.

"Are you going to go to bed, son?" InuTaishou said. Sesshoumaru looked at InuTaishou and nodded. He thought about saying something, but decided against it.

"Goodnight, father." Sesshoumaru said as he walked by his father. InuTaishou simply nodded.

"Sesshoumaru was still up, dear?" A feminine voice said, as a womanly figured appeared right behind InuTaishou.

"Yes dear." InuTaishou said, as he turned to face Izayoi.

"I think it's time we be off to bed too." Izayoi said as she grabbed InuTaishou's hand and pulled him up the stairs.

"I think you're right." InuTaishou cast a glance at where Sesshoumaru was previously sitting. "I think you're right."

-----(Rin)

'So... Past!Me is buried behind Goshinboku...?' She scratched Buyo behind the ears before climbing out of bed. 'That's something I have to see for myself.'

She walked out their back door, journeying over to the looming tree. Doing a quick circle, she bent down over the fence that surrounded the tree and brushed away some bushes.

"Ouch!" Rin cried as she yanked her hand away and brought it up to her mouth. Her finger was lightly bleeding. After sucking on her finger for a couple of seconds, she got the bleeding to stop.

"What pricked me?" She wondered outloud, carefully moving the bushes back again to reveal something grey and withered away, covered in blood red roses.

"Is this? Could this be...?" She asked, excitedly. She reached up to touch the tombstone, but she stopped her hand as images blinded her eyesight.

-----(Images)

SESSHOUMARU-SAMA!" A woman bearing a striking resemblance to Rin screamed.

"Now now... Don't call for Sesshoumaru. Remember? He doesn't want you anymore!" A woman who looked exactly like Kagura said, except she was holding a fan and wearing a kimono. The Kagura lookalike laughed sadistically and held her fan up in the air.

"Cry. Cry, Rin." Kagura laughed at the trembling Rin who was on the ground, covered in a crimson liquid.

"No... Never..." Rin said, and attempted to stand up before getting kicked back down again by Kagura. Kagura looked at Rin once more and decided to end her life, right there and then.

"Shikabane no Mai!" Kagura shouted, and all of the sudden, dead bodies came out from behind the bushes and attacked Rin. After Kagura thought Rin was on the verge of death, she called the bodies back and walked up to Rin.

"You...You bitch..." Rin choked out, breathless.

"Tch tch tch." Kagura said. "That's not very lady like, is it?" With one quick movement, she cut a deep gash into Rin's neck.

-----(Rin)

Rin sat up as the images went black. She coughed and suddenly realized someone was holding her hand. Looking towards the contact, she noticed Kagome sitting beside her, rubbing soothing circles against Rin's hand.

"Kagome..." Rin said and threw her arms around Kagome and cried.
