Facing Fears!

Thanks for the reviews. I am five away from getting fifty reviews which is super exciting and I love that you all like this story and glad you all hate Rin's mom. So with out any delay on the chapter! One more thing before I get a show of reviews of those who were and hopefully nice enough to add me on Ovipets. If any of you have done so. :) I had to changed Authors Note chapter is the same. Sorry for the confusion to those who have already read. I promise you all I am workin on the next chapter now.

It had been three days sense the confrontation with my mother. My father had came home early and got a hold of the detective that worked Sasuke's case and they decided to reopen the case. They went over everything they could the forensics said the only thing they couldn't figure out what type of gun the bullet belong to too. I learned that my mother only went to prison for child endangerment they could never pin her for murder.

We decided to meet at Mr. Takigawa's office where the detective asked for both Koji and I to be present. "I know this is hard to bring up something like this but we need you two to go over everything you remember from that night." Said Agent Okasaki. "Koji lets start with you." He said and Koji nodded. Chi had decided that it be best that she be there for him so he didn't relapse. "Oh umm...sure. It was pretty normal. Sasuke and I were playing a board game and then we heard Rin running to our room. I looked up and told her not to run because Mom was never liked running. She said that Mom was acting weird and paying with the stove. So I grabbed our bags and then I picked Rin up and we made our way out of the house. Some neighbors had called the police once they heard the shots go off. I was able to get Rin to safety but Sasuke got hit." Koji said and it seemed to have taken everything he had not to lose it.

I took in what Koji said and then thought back to the night. I'm missing something. What am I missing? What am I blocking out that I need to remember? What is it? Think about what you hate because of that night. I hate loud banging sounds, I hate guns, I hate death, I hate..."Gas." I said out loud. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy and then I realized I spoke the word instead of thinking it. "What about gas, Rin?" The Agent asked me. "I think she was going to gas us." I said to him. He raised and eyebrow at me and I went on. "In the house my Mom lived in she had a gas stove. I remember she was doing something weird with it. In court she said she was going to make us a snack but she didn't know how to cook or do any of that stuff. I remember being little and my dad did all the cooking. I smelled gas the night I ran to Koji and Sasuke." I said to the Agent. He wrote down what I said.

The agent looked up at me and then spoke up. "Rin go over everything you can remember. Even if you think it has no importance. Go a head and tell me how your day went from the moment you woke up to the moment you were back with your dad." He said to me. I nodded and then took a moment to try and think about how my day went.

I replayed the day over and over but I bearly had anything to remember that day. "I can't remember. I know I woke up and then I went down stairs to see her playing with the stove. I said and then just like Koji said but I swear I remember seeing that Mori man there that night." I said to them. Koji raised and eyebrow and looked at me like I was nuts. "What?" I asked him. Koji shook his head. "Koji what is it?" My dad asked him. Koji opened and closed his mouth and looked back at me. "Its just that Rin should remember what she did that day." He said to us. We all waited for him to go on. "Rin don't you remember you ate breakfast and Mom took you to the park. She let Sasuke and I go to the arcade." He said to us.

I shook my head. "I don't remember going to the park. I don't even remember waking up un...until..." I was lost in thought until Sesshomaru tapped me on the arm. I looked over at him and he waited for me to speak. "Koji's right I woke up and ate breakfast. I remember seeing him and Sasuke leave to go do whatever they did that I couldn't go with them but other then that its dark." I said to them. Everyone seemed surprised that I lost a chuck of that day. "Koji when you and your brother returned from the arcade did you see your sister?" The agent asked him.

Koji shook his head. "No mom said she was taking a nap. She had a long day playing outside." He said to us. The agent nodded and then wrote down a note. "There was something else. I remember a couple days after that night Rin had to stay in bed. She complained that it hurt to walk. I think Dad and I brushed it off probably thinking that Rin just missed Sasuke and needed time to herself like we all did." He said. The agent once again nodded and then he looked through the file he had. "Looks like she owns the house, correct?" He asked my dad. Dad took a moment and then nodded. "Yes I bought it right before the divorce. It was the agreement I got full rights to the children and she had a house in her name." My dad seemed like he hated what he did.

I never realized that was the agreement. But then again Dad knew what she was really like. So it does make sense in a way. "Excuse me I need to make a private call." He said to us and then took a step outside. "What do you think he is calling in for?" I asked and then Sesshomaru wrapped an arm around me tighter. Agent Okasaki came back in and looked at my dad and then looked as if he was going to deliver the worst news he ever had too. "Mr. Shibuya may I have a word with you alone?" He asked my dad. He took a moment and then nodded and they both left the room. "I feel like this is all my fault." I said out louse. Koji turned to look at me and was about to say something when we heard a loud bang.

We all looked up to see that the door had been left open and that my dad had punched a wall. "Koji?" I asked him and he turned to look at me and then kissed the top of my head. "Its ok kiddo. Dad and I won't..." He paused and then looked up at Sesshomaru and then looked back at me. "And Sesshomaru wont let anything bad happen to you. I promise you're too special to get hurt anymore." He said and then looked up to see our dad walk back in. "Dad?" I asked and when he looked at me I knew they were looking for something that was not going to bring happy news. "That's all I need for now. Mr. Shibuya when I get a call on the results I will call you A.S.A.P." Agent Okasaki said and then took his leave.

We all waited for my dad to speak and then he did after over two minutes. "I will be taking my children home. I think this is something that we need to talk about as just a family for now." He said to everyone. We all nodded and we got up to say our bye to everyone. Chi was the first to leave letting both Koji and I know that she was here for us if either of us needed her and I said bye to Sesshomaru telling him I would let him know if I was on the verge of another break down and then the we said bye to .

Dad drove us home and then walked us inside. He asked to have a talk with us in the living room and so we all went and sat down. Dad took a seat on the coffee table and then placed his head in his hands as if he was defeated. "Dad?" Koji spoke up. He looked up at us and then he looked at me. "The phone call the Agent Okasaki had to make was to call a forensic team in to look at your mothers home." He said to us. "What do they expect to find?" I asked him. My dad sighed and then took my hand in his and then held it. He didn't say and think and that worried more then what he needed to tell us. "Dad?" I called for him and he took a deep breath. "They are looking for drugs, and fluids." He said to us.

Fluids? What kind of fluids? Water? They can find that anywhere. So why are they looking for all that stuff? "Dad, I don't understand." I stated and then Koji stood up and then paced back and forth. "They think that, do you think they'll find anything?" He asked. My dad looked at him and sighed. "Koji I don't know. I am just hoping that what they think happened didn't happen." My dad said to him and then looked back down at the floor. "Koji?" I called for him and he paused and then took a seat next to me and held me.

I looked between the two and then my dad sat straight up and looked me in the eye. "Rin the type of fluid they are looking for is bodily fluid." He said to me. Bodily fluid? Why would they look for that stuff? "I don't get it. The only time they look for something like that is if its a sex..." I paused and then I felt the panic spread through out me. "They think that I was..." I couldn't finish my sentence before the tears hit me. "Daddy please tell me they didn't do that too me? Please I can't know. I just can't." I said as I broke down and cried. My dad quickly got up and pulled me into his arms. "Shh...its alright sweet heart. I promise you I wont let anyone hurt you." He said as he held me close to him.

After crying for an hour I decided to make supper. Half way through eating supper dad got a phone call from the station. It was Agent Okasaki. He talked for a few minutes and then hung up. "They found a couple different things but once they run test they will know more." He said to us and we nodded trying not to go into too much detail. "Rin, we will get through this. I promise you." Dad said to me and I nodded. "I'm not hungry anymore. I think I am gonna go take a bath and relax." Both guys nodded and told me they loved me. I made it to my room and got my bath ready. I grabbed my phone and started to text Sesshomaru.

Will you still love me even if I went through something that makes me un-pure?~Rin. It took a couple minutes to get a reply and so I used the minutes to get into the tub and grabbed my book and read it. I was half way through a page when my phone went off. Rin there is nothing that can change my mind about loving you. If that were the case I wouldn't have marked you as mine. So anything that we have to face with your mother is small compared to what we will have to face when we are married. And besides its too late to undo what has been done. So what has you so worried about being un-pure?~ Sesshomaru. I took a deep breath and then began to type out the text message.

They are running test on fluids and other things found at my mom's house. Sesshomaru they think that I was raped the day that Sasuke died. An if that is true then, that makes me un-pure and no good, doesn't it?~ Rin. I started to cry again when I texted him and so I got out of the tub and got dressed for bed. Once that was done I noticed I had a missed call from Sesshomaru. So I called him back. "Hello?" I said to him. "Rin?" He asked and I smiled at him. "Yeah its me." I said to him. Sesshomaru sighed and then spoke to me. "Rin what they did or might have done to you does not change the person you are. It makes you stronger and there is no way I will change the way I feel about you. I love you Rin Shibuya and soon we will be married and I will protect you from people like those that think they can hurt you." He said to me. I smiled and then dried my eyes. "Thank you Sesshomaru." I said to him and then we stayed on the phone until I fell asleep.

I woke up the next day and found that my phone had been in my hand all night. I looked at how long Sesshomaru and I talked and was speechless. I hung up on him after four hours! Wait I was asleep way before that wasn't I? I jumped when Koji opened my door and poked his head in. "Hey you hungry?" He asked me. I nodded and then got out of bed. "Koji did Dad get any more calls after I went to bed?" I asked him. Koji turned around as he hit the first step. "Yeah they did. They ran DNA on everything and you little sister was never harmed." He said to me and then turned around. I smiled and felt so happy and so I jumped on his back.

"Ooff...girl give me warning next time you decided to jump." He said to me. I giggled and Koji just kept on going down the stairs. We made it to the landing to see Dad in the kitchen cooking. "Koji what is Dad doing with my stove?" I asked him. Koji didn't give me warning and dropped me. "OW!" I yelled. Dad looked up and seen me on the floor. "Sorry Rin." Koji said as he helped me get up. "What are you two doing?" My dad asked us. I glared at Koji and then rubbed my butt to try and help the pain.

"Dad what are you doing in the kitchen?" I asked him. He looked from me to the stove and then he shrugged his shoulders. "Been a while sense you cooked Dad." Koji said to him. My dad smiled and then motioned for us to take a seat. "Here eat up you two." He said to us. We gladly took a seat and then thanked him. "Dad this looks really good." I said to him and then we dug in. I chewed for about three seconds and both Koji and I took our napkins and spit out the food.

Koji and I looked at each other and then looked at dad. "Dad when was the last time you cooked?" I asked him. He flipped the pancake. "Lets see a week after the incident when you were little Rin." He said to us. I stood up as quickly as I could. "Ok well Dad until you get more practice in how about I stick to cooking." I said to him. My dad looked at the table and then laughed. "I guess it has been a few years sense I took the time to cook my children something to eat that is edible." He said to us while smiling. "No offense Dad but I think you need to take some lessons from the Master." Koji said pointing to me. I smiled and then laughed. Koji picked up the plates and then threw away the left overs. "Rin be a sweet little sister and make something that tastes good." Koji asked me.

I laughed and then did just as he asked. I made a new batter for the pancakes and then placed them on the grittle. "Hey Dad this weekend is the fair. I was wondering if you would let me stay out past curfew?" I asked my dad. He looked up at me and then looked at the pancakes. "Rin you know how I feel about you being alone with Sesshomaru." My dad said to me. I flipped the pancake over and plated another one. "Would you feel better if I said I wasn't going with Sesshomaru?" I asked him. Dad looked me in the eyes and then gladly took the plate I had. "I have this feeling you want me to believe you but at some point you will be alone with him." He said to me. I looked at him for a moment. "Really Dad when did I become Koji?" I asked him. Koji glared at me and I glared back. "Point proven. Alright you can go." He said to me and I smiled and finished cooking breakfast.

Here is another chapter. I hope you all liked this chapter! I know I enjoyed writing it for you all. I am hoping this chapter came faster then most of the others I have written. :) Thanks again for all the reviews!
