Sesshomaru slid down the tree trunk and sat painfully on the branch that he was once standing on. Suffering silently he pulled out the dagger that was now ending his life. Before him Rin was on one knee clutching her chest with silent tears falling down her face from the pain.

I need someone to heal me before I get any worse, Rin thought and she made an attempt to hop off the branch she was kneeling on.

Then landing on the ground with a thud she stood barely and started walking towards Sasume who was running towards her.

"Sasume we need to get me to a heal…." Rin was unable to finish the sentence because she landed on the ground out cold.

"Rin are you ok? RIN" Sasume yelled and picked up the limp body of the girl that managed to wiggle her way into Sasume's heart.

Don't worry I will take you to someone who can fix you up fine, Sasume promised Rin and she launched up onto Yang who immediately flew off.

Sasume barely gave a passing glance to the Youkai lord who still lay dying on the branch below them.

*Rin's mind*

"What happened" echoed around the dark area that seemed so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Rin slowly walked around the dark area unsure of what to do.

"I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't remember what" Rin stated and looked around.

Slowly everything turned green and Rin recognized it as her favorite field that she stayed in often when she was with…

"Who was I with" she asked out loud as she tried to figure out the question that seemed to have no answer.

Then the wind twisted and whipped around her and an image of someone appeared in front of her.

"I recognize him, but the name keeps escaping me".

She slowly walked up to the man and the image dissolved. She then made her way into the forests that surrounded the field.

"Why can't I remember anything? It's almost like someone or something wiped all my memories gone".

Rin quickly turned her head to the side when she saw something out of the corner of her eye that looked like a shadow, but there was nothing there. When she looked forward she believed that she had saw the shadowy figure dart across the path that was in front of her. Once again though, it was gone.

"Who are you" she asked out loud and a laugh echoed all around her.

"You know who I am Rin weather you believe it or not" the voice said.

She still couldn't see the face of the individual as it ran around her in circles.

"Here I thought you were my little girl Rin, especially when you were small and loved to chat all the time" the voice mocked and Rin cocked her head to the side a bit.

In her head appeared the image of a man dressed in a white kimono with red flowers on the shoulders. Then on his face was the mark of a moon crescent on his forehead and two stripes on each cheek.

"I will ask again, who are you" Rin asked sounding more persistent this time.

"You know who I am" the voice stated again and the shadow stopped right in front of her.

Rin looked up at the shadow frowned. The shadow was right in front of her and she couldn't make out one facial feature, the face was a blur.

"If I knew who you were do you think I would be standing here asking your name" Rin said sarcastically and crossed her arms.

She didn't know why but the shadow figure made her feel safe in a way that she hadn't felt in a long time since her parents died.

"I…I remember now" Rin shouted as her eyes grew wide.

Flash backs of her families deaths flew through her mind and everything came back, including the man that had saved her from her miserable death.

"Sesshomaru" the words came out like poison from her tongue. "You are the one that killed me, that is why I'm here!"

A light chuckle was heard around Rin and the wind whipped around her again as the shadow's face could be seen again.

"why didn't you obey my orders Rin I told you to stay in that human village" Sesshomaru asked with a small frown on his face.

Alright now I know it isn't actually Lord Sesshomaru because he is talking oddly, Rin stated in her mind as she glared at the man in front of her.

"You had no right to abandon me in the first place so why should you care if I left or not" Rin said as the old feelings came rushing upon her like a wave.

"Your safety was an issue at the time, I had no choice" Sesshomaru explained calmly but Rin just snorted.

"You were just thinking of your pride, you got tired of being asked why the 'great youkai lord' had a human child with him" Rin accused with a frown that grew larger by the second.

"Rin, what you don't realize is I came back to the village to retrieve you" Sesshomaru said as his eyes grew distant.

"W..What" Rin said and tears formed in her eyes.

After all this time I thought he left me there for good, Rin thought sadly as the tears now rolled down her cheeks.

"I..wait a minute! You would have been able to find me by my scent" Rin yelled with a frown. "How dare you lie to me!"

Rin walked away from the figure that harbored the same looks as Sesshomaru, but was not the same in many ways.

Why was I so stupid to believe what he had said! He's just a figment of my imagination, Rin scolded herself as she made her way deeper into the depths of her mind.

*Sesshomaru*

Rin that was Rin? She is still alive after all these years, Sesshomaru questioned himself as he watched the Inu Manta demon fly off with the limp body of it's owner.

Sesshomaru pulled himself up knowing that sitting around wasn't helping his condition at all so he jumped out of the tree and made his way back towards his home.

Why didn't I pay more attention? She said that she knew more about me than I realized, but why am I beating myself up over this, he asked himself as the sound of his vassal's cries were heard in the distance.

"Lord Sesshomaru, What happened Milord" Jaken asked but Sesshomaru just walked passed him without caring.

"Someone get the herbalist Lord Sesshomaru is injured" Jaken screamed as he ran back into the castle.

I am not so weak as to pass out, Sesshomaru thought at the feeling of dizziness overwhelmed him.

He made his way across the garden and into the castle slowly. He heard not a word of what the herbalist said as he pushed past her and went to his quarters.

"Leave my presence" he instructed and slid the door shut before there was any objection.

As he made his way across the dark room he pulled off his armor so the weight would be lifted off the injury.

"Foolishness was all it was" Sesshomaru scolded himself as he sat down on the cot and closed his eyes so he could concentrate on healing.
