After the sun settled, Rin finally woke up. She had seen the angel in her dream again. Why was that angel the only thing that came to her mind? Then she slowly turned her head to her right and saw the mentioned angel sitting on the sofa and looking at her. She was surprised and slowly lifted her hand to point at the angel.
"You, what are you doing here?" Rin asked. "Am I still dreaming?"
"Rin." Sesshomaru said and stopped himself. He watched as Rin just stared at her hand. She was turning it everwhere.
"My hands are... big." Rin commented.
Sesshomaru just watched and said nothing. He had expected to see her confused and lost but she was smiling.
"Angel, what did you do?" Rin asked.
"Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru said and stared at her.
Her eyes widened, 'Sesshomaru'. Then she looked at him straight in the eye and recognition dawned on her face.
"Ses-sho-maru." Rin said slowly. Her head hurt. It felt like that name was important, Sesshomaru was important. Then she remembered he had said that he was her boyfriend. She blushed at the thought, was that a dream? But her thoughts were interupted as there was a knock before the doctor entered her room.
"Rin, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked.
"I feel fine." Rin said and grinned. "My hands are big."
The doctor was confused. He looked at her hand, she was staring at it too.
"I think Ang-Sesshomaru did this." Rin said looking at Sesshomaru with sparkle in her eyes.
The doctor looked at Sesshomaru and nodded, they had to tell her now. It would not be convinient if Rin looked at herself in the mirror and didn't find the five year old Rin.
"Rin, I have something to tell you, so listen to me carefully okay?" The doctor said as softly as he could. After a while he continued, "Rin, you know you've been in an accident right?"
Rin nodded slowly.
"The accident you've been in recently is not the one you think it to be." The doctor continued and Rin frowned, confused. But she didn't say anything so he continued. "You were recently in another accident and you've lost your memory. You can only remember till the time you had that first accident. It is not 2001 as you think it to be, it's 2013. But it seems, though you have lost your memory, you still have your mind to think normally. You sometimes behave like you're five, but it's only because you think yourself to be."
Rin's eyes widened as he said that and by the time he finished it, her eyes were as huge as a saucer. She was quiet for a while.
"Rin." Sesshomaru called after she had been quiet for a while.
Rin still didn't say anything. She just stared at her hands, moving them, turning them.
"Rin, say something." Sesshomaru said, worried.
Rin looked up to him and grinned, "That means I'm seventeen."
Sesshomaru just stared at her. He was not the one to be surprised easily, but she was full of surprises. Surprises, that just confused him. Something he was just not used to.
"So, tell me. How's the seventeen year old me? Do I have lots of friends? I just love making friends? What about my friends from earlier? Are they still in contact? So, why are they not here to meet me?" Rin asked.
"You do not have much friends." Sesshomaru said.
"What?" Rin frowned. "But I love being around people."
The doctor then excused himself and told Sesshomaru that he needed to talk with him. Once they were outside Rin's room the doctor turned to him.
"Sesshomaru, as you may have noticed, the questions Rin asked were not the ones a five year old would normally ask, and the way she asked was vast for a five year old, so it is clear that the mind that thinks is functioning properly and is uneffected. So, it might be easier for her to recover. But we have to approach carefully or the situation may worsen and it may be permanent. The information we just delivered has been recieved well by her. But we have to be careful since in her mind she has just lost her parents and yet her reaction is- well it's not usual. Maybe she has coccooned herself, if so it will effect her more." The doctor explained. "And I think for her to recieve any more infomation at this time is not suitable. So, about what you were saying ealier about her not having friends, it seemed to have effected her more than any other news so I suggest you to halt your conversation at this."
Sesshomaru listened to the doctor silently. His mind was filled with questions about what had changed? Rin, what made her change? He had always thought that she was reserved because she had lost her parents at a very young age, but her reaction now says a different story. What had happened that made her hide herself? It must have suffocated her to hide, alone. And it seemed she was afraid to be alone so why did she separate herself from company. As far as he knew she didn't have any company, she had just talked about her aunt. If he had not opened up to her and gave her a chance she'd have noone.
"Brudddddeeeerrrrr." Sesshomaru was interupted from his thoughts as Inuyasha came running towards him and hugged his knees.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked, "I thought I was clear to tell you to stay at home."
"But I missed you." Inuyasha said pouting.
"How did you found me anyway?" Sesshomaru asked sternly.
"Well, uh, huh." Jaken came from around the cornor and decided to answer, "Master Inuyasha called the Taisho Inc. and well, told them that you were missing and he used his own methods to make them find your car and when we reached the hospital, he very cleverly used his nose to find you."
Sesshomaru rubbed his temple, surely there'd be a mess in the Taisho Inc. Judging by what Jaken told him, Inuyasha must have actually gone to theTaisho Inc. and must've had a fit, or maybe almost cried and the staffs would've just melted, since he is the son of their boss and when it's Inuyasha people barely say no after seeing his face.
"Where is Nee-san?" Inuyasha asked, breaking his trail of thoughts.
"Inuyasha, Rin is resting right now." Sesshomaru said.
"Ehh, but I want to play with her." Inuyasha said slowly.
"Inuyasha I told you that I had some important work, so why did you come?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Otay, you do your work, I will plays wid Nee-san." Inuyasha said.
Sesshomaru sighed. He had to let him know.
"Inuyasha, Rin was on an acident." Sesshomaru said that and Inuyasha's eyes were wide, maybe he should not have said it so directly.
"So, Nee-san is dead?" Inuyasha asked his eyes swelling with tears.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened. From where did he get that idea?
"No, Inuyasha." The doctor said and turned to Sesshomaru. "Don't worry. I got him."
Sesshomaru nodded and the doctor explained the situation to Inuyasha, though he didn't give out any details like Sesshomaru would've given. Maybe they didn't explain every detail to a child. By the time the doctor finished telling Inuyasha, he seemed fascinated, as if he was just told a very interesting story.
After that they entered Rin's room and when Inuyasha saw Rin, he ran to her.
"Neeeeeee-sssssaaaan." Inuyasha hugged her.
Sesshomaru rubbed his forehead, Inuyasha you were just explained the situation outside, why-. His thoughts came to a halt as he heard a whimper. He looked up to find Inuyasha on the verge of tears and Rin, biting his ears.
"Rin." Sesshomaru called, but she didn't respond. "Rin, leave him."
Then Rin slowly let him go, reluctantly. As soon as her hold was loosened Inuyasha dashed to Sesshomaru and hid behind his leg and poked out his head to look at her.
"Mweanie." Inuyasha said and stuck out his tongue, his eyes still wet with tears.
Rin just stared at him for a moment then smiled widely, "Kawaiiii." She squealed and blushed.
Sesshomaru almost growled. 'Did she just blush because of Inuyasha?' Then he rubbed his temples again, 'And was he getting jealous of his baby brother?' His world had turned upside down in a blink. There he was thinking of letting the girl he loved know about how he felt and now that girl didn't even recognise him.
"Brudder, Nee-san is acting strange." Inuyasha said looking up at him. "Inuyasha don't like it."
"Inuyasha didn't we explain the situation to you just outside?" Sesshomaru explained.
"Inuyasha don't you think you should give her some time to adjust?" The doctor tried to calm Inuyasha down. "She's scared to be in a new environment."
Inuyasha nodded. He seemed to be thinking. Then he slowly moved towards Rin. Sesshomaru observed as Rin watched Inuyasha with a spark in her eyes.
"Nee-san." Inuyasha said. "Don't you remember Inuyasha?" He said pointing at himself.
"Inuyasha?" Rin asked confused. Then there was silence.
"He is my brother." Sesshomaru explained.
"Oh, I think I really have some huge problem, right?" Rin asked looking at the doctor.
"No, you've just lost your memory, don't worry, you'll get them back." The doctor said.
"So, I'll get them back?" Rin asked.
"Ofcourse, but till then why don't you let those who know you tell you about your life and your school days." The doctor offered and Rin agreed.
Inuyasha got into it immediately. He started telling her about the time they had spent together and all the fun things they had done. Rin listened with utmost interest. She seemed to enjoy and live every word Inuyasha said.
.
Sesshomaru decided to inform Rin's aunt about the accident, so he used Rin's cell phone to call her but he reached her voicemail. She was on a tour, then he remembered Rin saying her aunt had sent her some things before going to the tour, but he didn't know when she'd be returning, so he left the message and his number so to call as soon as she got the message.
Next he called Inutaisho to inform him about the situation and he said they'd be coming the following morning.
When Sesshomaru returned to Rin's room, she was still engrossed in a conversation with Inuyasha, her eyes would constanly wander to his ears. Sesshomaru didn't know what he should do. He couldn't treat her like a five year old, it was still difficult to accept the fact that she thought herself to be five year old. And he also could not treat her like how he used to treat her. It wouldn't be right.
"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru called and both of them turned to him. "You should go home now. Rin needs to rest and you have school tomorrow."
Inuyasha was reluctant at first, but he agreed. After he left with Jaken, Rin looked kind of sad.
"Rin." Sesshomaru said. "It's late, You should rest now."
"But, I don't want to." Rin complained. "Even Inuyasha is gone now. He was telling about all the fun things we did together. Now I won't even know what happened on that school fest." She looked sad.
Sesshomaru's chest clench. School fest, he clenched his fist to control himself. He then slowly went up to Rin. She looked up at him, confused. He then slowly raised his hand and ruffled her hair, Rin's eyes widened. Then he slowly reached and kissed her forehead. She instantly blushed into a bright red shade.
Rin closed her eyes on instict. It felt familiar and at the same time different. She liked it. But then he pulled away, she slowly opened her eyes and looked straight at him. She was surprised at what she saw. It looked like he was hurting, and though his face betrayed nothing his eyes mirrored the hurt he was feeling.
"Everything is gonna be fine Rin." Sesshomaru said finally. "You're gonna remember everything. We will get out of this together, so don't be afraid anymore."
Rin's eyes widened. His words, it calmed her. It felt like those were the exact words she wanted to hear. She'd had some feeling nagging her, she didn't know what that was but now she knew, she was scared. But he seemed to have diminished that feeling.
'Sesshomaru, who are you really?'

So, what do you say? Well I know nothing much happened in this chapter and I know it is very short, but still I needed something to keep going. And I thought that ending it on Rin's question was a preety good idea. Oh yeah, she didn't ask him actually okay, it was just in her mind. Just so you don't get confused.
I hope all are enjoing the read as much as I'm enjoing writing this. And please encourage me with as much reviews as you can.
Thankyou.
