It all seemed like a dream. A dream that was more like a nightmare, thought Sesshomaru as he waited for news on the condition that his father was in. It seemed unreal to the whole Tashio family what had happened. It should not have happened. But for some reason it did.

*Flash back*

InuTashio watched his oldest son. He was shocked by the words that he had just heard come from his sons own lips. He never would have thought Sesshomaru would ask him if he was going to die.

He knew that his son, to say the least had a heart of ice. It wouldn't have been such a shock if his younger son had asked him. But Sesshomaru asking, it just shocked him.

"I have no plans of leaving this world anytime soon." InuTashio said to his son, who looked relieved at the statement that his father had just told him.

The older Inu reached out and ran his hands through Sesshomaru's hair a few times. "Why would you think that I was going to die anytime soon?" He asked him.

Sesshomaru thought for a moment before answering him. "Its just that..... I... Rin she's going to die of cancer.... And you have cancer too." Sesshomaru played with his thumbs while he talked.

"Rin, she's human and she has something far worse than I do. Most demons, we don't get sick, but the rare few of us do, and I seem to be in those rare few." He took a breath, then went on. "The demons that get sick, we never get anything very bad like a human will."

Sesshomaru nodded. "I know. It's not fair though."

"I know, I know, but that's life. We're born. We live. Then when our time comes we die. Its the circle of life."

"I just wish that I could help Rin get better. That she wouldn't have to die without really having a chance to really live."

"Kids shouldn't have to die, but they do everyday."

"Would you rather know you were going to die on a certain day, or it just hitting you out of no where?" Sesshomaru asked his father.

InuTashio sat there for a few long seconds before he answered his son. "I guess I would rather not know about it."

"Why?" Sesshomaru stopped playing with his thumbs and looked at his father, who's face was twisted in pain. "Father, whats wrong?!" Sesshomaru asked.

"I don't know." He answered. He coughed and little drops of blood came from him mouth. He got up and staggered a little. Sesshomaru got up and helped steady the man.

"Sit back down while I find some help." Sesshomaru said calmly, knowing it was best not to go into a panic. Inutashio muttered something that could not be understood and crumpled to the ground, passed out.

"FATHER!!!!" Sesshomaru yelled and knelled beside him. "HELP!" He screamed as he tried to get his father to wake up.

*End Flash Back*

Sesshomaru looked around the small waiting room that Inuyasha, Izoyai, and himself had been placed in when they arrived at the hospital.

He looked back down at his hands untill the door at the other end of the room opened and a grim faced doctor walked in.

Rin sighed as she watched the t.v that sat in the waiting room. She was twisting her hair around her fingers when a news broadcast came on the t.v.

A news anchor women with short and spiky drownish blonde hair came on the screen. She started to speak and zoned in on the t.v.

"Welcome to the news hour with me, Umko Akira. We start today's broad cast with the news of the hospitalization of the owner of one of Japan's largest Tycoons.

"Earlier today, we received word that the one and only Tashio, InuTashio, collapsed in his home in the gated county of Sakura Country today. As many of you know, last month, Tashio was diagnosed with Leukemia, which is very rare in demons, but has been known to happen.

"Nothing of his condition is known at this time, but we do know that he is at Inzuka General Hospital being treated.

"Please stay tuned for any updates on this tragic event." Then she went of the talk about something else as Rin sat there and stared at the wall.

Sesshomaru's father was in the hospital. The hospital she was in. She got up suddenly and went off to her room. She switched her pj's for a pair of lose jeans and her night shirt for an Evanescence t-shirt. She slide her feet into a pair of sandals and left the room to go find Sesshomaru to make sure that his father was okay.

Rin slipped past the nurses that were on duty and went downstairs to where she knew that Sesshomaru and his family should be waiting for the news on his father.

Rin finally came to where Sesshomaru was. She peaked around the corner and saw the doctor was speaking with the family. She didn't wish to disturb them, but she couldn't help but feel her heart sink as Izoyia burst into tears.
