Moments after Rin's breathing seemed to have stopped, Kagome arrived just in time to get Rin back into breathing.

"Inuyasha! Get her some water, hurry!" Kagome shouted, panicing as she realized the blood flowing from Rin's mouth. Inuyasha went quickly to the river behind the hut and grabbed the bucket Kagome always left laying around next to the river. He dragged up water quickly and ran back inside.

"This can't be happening..." Kagome said as she took the water and poured a little into Rin's mouth, the sleeping Rin coughed out little blood and sighed.

"Rin!" Kagome called, wanting to see if Rin was really asleep.

There was no answer.

"Rin, are you still there?" Kagome asked, almost in tears.

Rin shivered, "It's... cold.. Lord Sesshomaru..." She whispered sadly.

Kagome sighed, "She's alright... but.. I think that this isn't just any regular illness.." Kagome said.

"Why you telling me?" Inuyasha asked lazily.

"Go to Sesshomaru," Kagome ordered, "And tell him to come and get Rin. It's best if she's with him..." She turned to Rin and began wiping away the tears and blood off her face. "She can't die here.." Kagome said happily with a saddened smile.

Inuyasha swallowed, "I understand.." He said before leaving.

Kagome continued to clean off the blood that had been thrown around the room quickly.
