Chapter 9

*Sesshomaru P.O.V.*

The walk to Kaede's house was a conflicted one for Sesshomaru. The entire time his demon was purring with pride and joy that Sesshomaru now had Rin in his arms.

Sesshomaru was asking himself so many questions. 'What is this that I am feeling? I feel all warm inside. What is this?' he furrowed his eyebrows. 'I do not feel. I am a cold-blooded business demon. I DO NOT FEEL!'

But after thinking this, Sesshomaru looked at the bundle in his arms. He felt his heart cringe at the sight of her. She had cuts and bruises on her face. Her legs and arms were the same. She was so small and fragile. Yet at the same time she was strong for having to endure such pain and was still willing to fight. He felt pity for her and yet he could almost read on her slumbering face that she wouldn't accept pity from anyone.

As he looked down at the slumbering woman in his arms, he could see her face was in a saddened expression. For some reason he wanted to take away the sadness on her face and he wanted to see her smile. 'What is she dreaming about?' Sesshomaru thought. He was confused as to what this girl was doing to him. Never has anyone made him feel or think what he is thinking. 'I must be working too much. Maybe I just need a vacation. Somewhere outside of Japan, maybe Paris? That sounds good. Hmmm… I wonder if she would like Paris. Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Stop right there, I am not actually planning on taking her with me am I?'

Sesshomaru was starting to get angry with himself. How could he be planning to spend more unnecessary time with this girl he just met yesterday? And a human at that.

She will not be let out of our sight

That's what you think. I'm not going to be spending unnecessary time with this human

Protect her

No why should i?

His demon started to growl. But with time Sesshomaru had learned to just ignore it.

As he was still arguing with his demon he walked up to the steps to Kaede's house.

He walked in to find Kaede in the kitchen making Miroku lunch. 'Is there a time when he isn't stiffing his face? Well, he is Inuyasha's best friend.' He thought as he set Rin down on the couch.

He laid her so gently he didn't want to wake her. When he sat down next to her, she started to move a bit.

*Rin P.O.V.*

At first it was pitch black. She was beginning to wonder if she had died. But then a stage had begun to form in front of her. She then saw one of her favorite bands appear on the stage, Lifehouse. Then they started to play a song that she always felt down to her soul. She fell in love with the song since she first heard it. As she heard the instruments begin her world faded into her life.

The broken clock is a comfort

It helps me sleep tonight

Maybe it can't stop tomorrow

From stealing all my time

As the song was playing she could see when she was younger and with her mom before the marriage with her step-father.

And I am here still waiting

Though I still have my doubts

I am damaged at best

Like you've already figured out

It then faded to the very first time that her step-father had hit her. She couldn't help but feel the tears starting to form in her eyes.

I'm fallin apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain

There is healing

In your name

I find meaning

The scenery now changed to her very first day at school. She was so excited about going to school and making new friends, but she got in trouble that day with her step-dad as well because her bus was late taking her home after a fun filled day. She could see and still feel the fear she felt when he was waiting. for her outside the house.

The broken locks were a warning

You got inside my head

I tried my best to be guarded

I'm an open book instead

And I still see your reflection

Inside of my eyes

That are looking for purpose

There still looking for life

I'm fallin apart

I'm barely breathin

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain (in the pain)

Is there healing?

In your name (in your name)

I find meaning

So I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm barely holdin onto you

And now the scenery changed again to the first time she had tried to commit suicide to try and escape from her life of hell. She remembered she had bought a razor blade and she cut her wrists. But at that time, her step-father barged in her room wanting to satisfy some needs with her for the very first time when she was 9.

I'm hangin on

Another day

Just to see what

You will throw my way

Now she was at school with her best friend and she was telling her what all had happened. She could hear her friend over the music, she remembered each word by heart as she had always replayed that day in her mind.

Don't worry about it. Come with me after school and we will tell my mom, we can become sisters and live together!" she had said with a smile on her face from ear to ear. She then hugged me.

I'm hangin on

To the words you say

You said that I will

Will be ok

Then I saw when we were walking out of the school. Some 6 graders were looking at something in a group, when we heard a shot. My best friend was shot in the chest. I could barely here the other kids screaming they didn't mean to. It was an accident.

There she was lying on the ground with a hole in her chest and her eyes still open, with not glint of life. I remember sobbing on her getting blood on myself.

Broken lights on the freeway

Left here alone

I may have lost my way now

Haven't forgotten my way home

After crying for a while I heard the ambulance arrive. I ran and ran as fast as I could, I didn't know to where but I ran.

Then it changed again. I had finally gotten the courage a few months later to tell my mom what had happened with my step-dad these past few years.

I'm fallin apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

She didn't believe me. She said I watched too much T.V. my step-dad then walked in and he slapped me. "Nice try."

For the next year I was only allowed out of my room for dinner, bathroom, shower, school. Nothing else. All because… she didn't believe me.

In the pain (in the pain)

There is healing

In your name (in your name)

I find meaning

Now it was when I decided to run away from home. I couldn't take it anymore. But as I was about to jump out the window, he grabbed me by the hair and pulled me in.

He beat me and he raped me again that night. My mom was at her moms that day and I wasn't allowed to go.

So I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm barely holdin on to you

It then changed to when I would cut myself. It would dull out the pain I felt inside from home. I sadly enjoyed seeing the pain I felt ooze out little by little from my wrists.

It didn't last long though. I could still see the failed attempt to end my life on the wrist. A small scar about 2 inches along my wrist. Reminding me of what my life is and was. I just want to die.

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm holdin on (I'm still holdin)

I'm barely holdin on to you

As the song was ending and the instruments faded I saw a glint of silver and golden eyes. I felt warm inside. And strangely safe. What does this mean?
