In the darkness of his cell, golden amber eyes suddenly opened to an empty room. Her scent was all around him, her thoughts entering his foggy mind.

"Rin."

Rin woke up confused in a pitch black room. Silence permeated the air like a knife. She raised herself up into a sitting position, wondering what had happened. The last memory she had was of being in her office talking to Master Ungai...and then...what? Then she remembered a few of the words he had uttered to her before she had passed out "You'll be beyond terrified soon enough." He had drugged her! What did he mean she'd be terrified soon enough? She got up suddenly, surprising herself with how fast her movements were. A wave of dizziness hit her then. 'I shouldn't have gotten up so quickly' she thought as she walked slowly waving her hands out in front of her, trying to find a wall. 'Yes!' her hands made contact with metal walls. Metal walls? Was she in Sesshomaru's cell? No. Definitely not. If Master Ungai's plan was to scare her, he wouldn't have put her in a space with Sesshomaru. Then where exactly was she?

A low growl suddenly filled the silence, followed by a deep laugh. Her eyes widened in the darkness, trying with all her might to see around her. Her head turned this way and that trying to figure out where the sound had originated from. 'Yup. Need to find the door. Right now.' She continued making her way along the wall, trying to block out the sound of the laughing which was becoming more and more frequent, and seemed to come from all around her. Well, he certainly did his job when he said he would scare her. She didn't want to find out to whom or what the laugh belonged.

Her hand made contact with what seemed to be a metal spherical shape? She moved her hand to feel...was that...a hand attached to the metal band? She jumped back in surprise to see that green eyes stared at her from where she had been standing. The being was much taller than her, and his eyes pierced her like a knife, nervousness and fear settled deep in her chest as she tried to stay calm.

"Now...how did I end up with a little human woman in my cell?" The demon took a step towards her, laughing lowly in his chest.

She didn't bother answering him, she only continued backing away from him. She could only see him because of his eyes, but she was sure he could see her perfectly. She gulped.

"Not a talker eh? That's alright. I like my women silent anyway."

'What was that supposed to mean?' she thought, shivering from the coldness in his voice. She didn't want to think about it.

"You know, there's no way out of here right doll? I don't know exactly where you think you're going."

She wanted to turn around and run, but there'd be no point as she couldn't see anything. Why was this room in pitch black darkness? He couldn't be a….No...If that was the case then…

"I'm actually very interested in you. A lot of us A level demons are."

He was an A level demon. Just great. Fucking perfect.

"We see you every day you know. You're that mutt's Psychologist right?"

She frowned at his use of the term 'mutt' in reference to her mate.

"Ah! Hahahaha! Struck a nerve there did I? How about being my Psychologist instead?"

Rin made her face into a mask again. She didn't want him trying to read her anymore.

"They say I'm insane. If insane means draining the blood out of your victims. What do you think Doc? HAHAHAHAHA! AM I INSANE!?"

She turned around then and ran through the darkness hopelessly. She knew it was futile, but he was walking towards her slowly, purposefully. He was just toying with her.

"Don't. Run. Away. DOC. I don't like when you women run from me!" His laughter filled the room and he disappeared, reappearing in front of Rin, causing her to run into his chest. She screamed in surprise and fear. His arms wrapped around her then and he stared deep into her eyes. "That's right. DON'T RUN. IT'LL ONLY MAKE ME MORE EXCITED." His face went blank then as he pushed her away from him and struck her across her face, leaving an angry claw mark on her now bleeding cheek.

Rin fell to the floor, her hand over her cheek as she winced in pain. She bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from crying. She had never been hit full force by a demon before. Her ears rung, and a maddening pounding grabbed hold of her head; her face stung and it began to swell. She heard heavy breathing and laughter as she slowly turned to look at the demon who stood rooted to his spot.

"Actually...run. Run. RUN. RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!" His green eyes turned to blood red and he licked his claws, shaking from excitement, "YOUR BLOOD IS DELICIOUS!"

She got up to get away from him, though it's not as if she had anywhere to go. 'Sesshomaru! Save me!' she thought as she ran blindly into the darkness.

'RIN.' Sesshomaru thought, hearing her thoughts and feeling fear take her over. He stood up abruptly, a wave of dizziness and nausea hitting him as his body hadn't finished healing yet. Where was she? Where had she gone? And where was that monk? He had noticed his scent as well when he woke up, so why were neither of them anywhere to be found. He could feel himself as well as his demon fill with panic and anger as Rin's thoughts entered his mind. He couldn't tell where she was at first, but then he heard her think 'steel'. That's when he realised she was in another cell somewhere.

He went to the door to his cell, his eyes turning blood red and his aura flaring around him as he began ramming into it as hard as he could. He was barely making any dents. The Demon Council hadn't been joking about the strength of his prison. He wouldn't give up though. His mate was in danger. He needed to get out. "RIN!"

"Rin?" Miroku's voice filled the empty room of Rin's office. He walked in to see that she was nowhere to be found. 'Hm. That's odd. Could she have possibly made it back to the cell while I went looking for her? She's been gone for a long time. Maybe she intercepted me and is already back with Sesshomaru.' he thought as he turned to leave. That's when he noticed that something was off about her office. It was in disarray. Things had been knocked off of her desk, and a broken coffee cup lay on the floor with coffee now staining the cream colored carpet.

He bent down to pick up her cup, and that's when he noticed it. 'Poison?' he brought the broken cup to his nose. His eyes widened and fear took hold of him. Someone had drugged Rin? But who could've...wait. No. He couldn't possibly have….could he? He knew this type of poison. His wife, Sango, had used it in home exorcisms to knock out demons that had decided to try and lay claim to people's homes. If something had happened to Rin, he needed to find her. But how? Sesshomaru could! Dog-demons were the best at those types of things.

He ran as fast as he could back to Sesshomaru's cell, using every ounce of energy he had. He was surprised to see a massive dent in the door to Sesshomaru's cell, and a loud banging as well as an angry growling noise, as something, Sesshomaru he assumed, rammed into the wall. The guards looked terrified and confused as to what to do, but none of them made any move to try and stop him.

Miroku walked past the guards to look at Sesshomaru through the window in the door to his cell. Sesshomaru was half transformed and looked absolutely formidable. His blood red eyes narrowed slightly at having recognised Miroku. Miroku noticed this and started to tell him what happened. "Sesshomaru, I can't find Rin. She-"

"Rin is in danger. Let me out."

Miroku's eyes widened at his sudden display of control. He hadn't expected Sesshomaru's demon to be willing or able to converse normally, that is, not in dog-demon, while so obviously irritated. "How do you know she's in danger?"

"Let me out. Rin needs me."

"Alright. I'll help." Miroku moved then to unlock the door. Sesshomaru walked out unusually calm as he looked at Miroku briefly, responding to his offer to help "Not needed. Mate is mine to protect."

Miroku's eyes widened at what Sesshomaru had just said. He blinked and he was gone in a gust of wind. His aura and sheer power leaving a huge dent in the hallway he had gone down. Miroku didn't understand the dog-demon language, but he did know the words 'Mate' and 'protect'. Despite what Sesshomaru had said, he ran after him, the bent metal walls indicating what directions he had gone in.

Rin screamed as a burst of wind went past her, it's culprit leaving a new clawed mark on her body. This time on her upper arm. She was a mess of claw marks, bites and bruises. Blood poured from her wounds and she winced trying to keep herself from breaking down. She was becoming exhausted from this game the demon had been playing with her. That's all it was. A game before he decided to do whatever it was he had planned for her.

She tried running in another direction, unaware of where exactly she was going. Tears streamed down her face and her heart beat loudly in her chest. "Sesshomaru…" She whispered, her voice trembling as her body began shaking from its loss of blood and energy. She had discovered that he was a vampire demon. He had let it slip during this game of cat and mouse. That's why he was letting her bleed out all over his cell. All this blood must've been like heaven to him.

"Oh? Calling for another demon are we? Your client won't come for you." His laughter filled the room and he ran up to her pushing her to the ground. He smiled, his blood red eyes widening even more in his excitement. He wrapped his hands around her neck and stared into her eyes as he listened to her fight to breathe. "No one is coming for you. Hehehe. That Master Ungai is a pretty sick bastard! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Rin's hands instinctively grabbed his hands at her throat, her eyes widening and her legs waving frantically as he cut off her oxygen. Her vision began to blur and her eyes turned dull.

"YES! THIS IS BEAUTY. Women look most beautiful right before they die. If only you could see yourself."

'Sesshomaru…' she thought as she felt the last of her energy leave her body. Just as she was about to give up, she felt the demon suddenly ripped off of her and oxygen entered into her lungs as she took a painful gasp of air. What had happened? She heard the demon screaming violently as well as the sound of bones cracking. She backed away from whatever it was that was happening.

The demon went flying against the steel wall, bones breaking on impact. He screamed, blood filling his mouth instantly. He got up to try and get away from his pursuer, only to find himself flung against another wall.

"I didn't know! I didn't know! Please, dont-!" Sesshomaru snapped the demon's neck before he could finish his sentence. As if he'd show him any mercy when he showed Rin none. 'Filth.' he thought as he dropped the now dead demon, his bones cracking as they hit the hard ground. His demon was still enraged, and his eyes still remained a deep blood red. He looked around the room to see Rin crawling away desperately. His eyes softened as he made his way over to her tiny form.

Rin had just made it into the light of the hallway, when she was suddenly pulled into strong arms. She turned briefly to see red eyes in the darkness and she screamed, trying to get away from the being holding her. Tears streamed down her face and her fists banged against Sesshomaru's steel-hard chest.

"Don't touch me!" She was hysterical, completely taken over by fear.

"Rin."

"NO! Let me go! Please!"

"Rin." Sesshomaru spoke calmly, bringing her to his chest. She froze her hands tightening against his shirt, as she slowly raised her head to look him in the eyes. Confusion filled her eyes at seeing that his eyes were still red "I'm here."

New tears replaced old ones as she instead cried from relief "Sesshomaru…! Sesshomaru!"

"Shh...It's alright. You're safe." He growled deep in his chest to console her, his arms holding her flush against him, allowing her to cry as much as she needed to.

"Sesshomaru!...You came for me...You found me."

"I will always find you."
