Chapter Fourteen
Inuyasha and Kagome when back to the village because Naraku made an appearance and started acting up. The Inuyasha gang was on the hunt for him again, leaving Rin and Sesshomaru to deal with the 'god' problem.
Rin wasn't getting better nor was she getting worse. Jirou would come periodically to check in and give Sesshomaru any updated news about how she got like that. Kai started to get stressed too; Sesshomaru had a hard time getting him to relax, so both of them would sit beside Rin. Every now and then Kai would crawl over to her and sleep next to her.
Sesshomaru left the sleeping pair to go breathe some fresh air. He sat underneath Rin's favorite tree. To an ordinary human the chilly wind would send them rushing back inside but Sesshomaru felt comfort by it.
Ever since Rin had walked into his life, she had turned everything upside down and his control was lost. Now he was worrying if his human mate would come out of whatever she was in. Something he would never do until she came into his life.
"What are you doing here?"
Aiko stood a few feet away from him. "I just wanted to see you."
"Your presence is unwanted."
Aiko sighed. "You can't really love her." Sesshomaru didn't say anything. "She's human and pathetic even with those powers." Still he didn't say anything. "You could anybody you want."
"We are bonded." He finally said.
"But you can change that." Aiko said. She dropped down in front of him on her knees to stare directly into his eyes; her black hair fell forward on to his hand. "They say that there is no way, but it's so rare and no one ever looked." She leaned forward just as she was about to plant her lips on his, she was knocked away from him.
Rin stood there looking like evil incarnate. She was pale, her eyes were red and she bared her teeth. She raised her hand again to summon another energy ball and threw it at Aiko. With Rin being so weak, the damage wasn't as bad as it should have been. Before Aiko was struck again she fled.
"Rin." Sesshomaru's voice broke through the madness. Her eyes returned to normal but her strength abandoned her. Before she hit the ground, Sesshomaru already had her in his arms heading to their room. "Before you speak, we need to talk."
It was early in the morning when Rin stood outside the entrance of the castle. Her bags were tied on Ah-Uh and Kai was desperately trying to fight his way to his father. He knew something was wrong and he did not like it. Without saying anything, Rin turned her back to Sesshomaru and headed to Inuyasha's village with tears in her eyes. When Sesshomaru watched, Rin and his son disappear from his sight he too turned his back and walked back into his now lifeless home.
"The men are almost done building, by night you can move in your own home." Kagome said. Across from her Rin was silent, she was still pale but more of her color had returned every day. It had been a week since she left Sesshomaru and Kagome knew it killed her.
"Thank you Kagome." Rin whispered. "Kai's doing much better." Kai had barely eaten anything after they left home. "He won't understand now, but when he's older hopefully he will." Kagome didn't have to ask how she felt, she already knew. "Do you mind watching Kai? I want to take a walk."
Kagome nodded. "Yeah sure."
Rin thanked Kagome once again, and got up to leave her friend's house. Ever since she left Sesshomaru she started dressing in her 'times' clothes. She wore jeans and black t-shirt. She passed through some trees and ended up near the Bone Eaters well. She didn't know how long she stood there, but she didn't flinch when Jiao appeared beside her.
"I heard about your little break up with the Western Lord." Jiao came to stand beside her. "Tragic."
"What do you want?" Rin said with no emotion coating her voice.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." He said.
Rin scoffed. "Every time you are near you want to kidnap me, what's so different now?"
He came to stand in front of her so her attention was on him. "You have a choice now. You had someone who kept you away from me; now that he's gone you might change your mind."
"I have friends here, and my son." Rin said.
"Your son could come with you, he'll be treated like a prince and when he's older he'll have the best training. And you," He grabbed her chin. "You will be treated like a queen. You can do whatever you want. Like for example, punishment."
"Punishment?" She repeated.
"Yes, you can punish anybody you want, especially for those who have wronged you. You'll have everything you ever wanted."
"What about my friends?"
"They will be left alone. I promise." He held out his hand, and Rin stared at it. Jiao's eyes lit up when she took his hand. They vanished to only reappear in Inuyasha's village. Rin walked into Kagome's house to get her son. When she was walking back towards Jiao everybody came running out.
"Rin what are you doing?" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha raised his sword to strike Jiao but Rin interfered she knocked Inuyasha back into Kagome with a rise with her hand. Kagome watched in horror as Rin left with their enemy. "We have to go see Sesshomaru."
"When I get my hands on her, I'm going to strangle her." Inuyasha hissed through his teeth. Kagome elbowed him.
Sesshomaru rubbed his temples. His brother was shouting at him, and Kagome was trying to talk over his brother which made her even louder. It was giving him a headache.
"Enough!" Sesshomaru's voice was louder then both his brother and the girl. "I cannot undo what's already happened."
"This is your fault!" Kagome accused. "You should make it right. What about Kai? She took him too. That place, wherever they are is not for them. Go after them."
"I will not."
Inuyasha started shouting again. "Why not? I thought you two were lovey-dovey happy!"
"You thought wrong, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru hissed.
"I hope when you die, you meet up with dad and he tortures you." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Likewise." Sesshomaru said back.
"Sesshomaru you cannot do this." Kagome pleaded. "She's mad, that's probably why she went with him. If you just talk to her, she'll come back."
"Why would I tell someone to leave, and then ask them to come back?" Sesshomaru said. "I'm looking for a way to break the bond."
"You are a bastard." Inuyasha said. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and left his brothers place.
Sesshomaru got up and walked outside to watch the stars. Aiko came to stand beside him. "I knew you didn't love her." She said with completely happiness. She laid her hand on his shoulder and he didn't shrug it off.
I had mixed feelings about this chapter...I'm not sure if I like it or what. hmmm.
