*I don't own Inuyasha*

Rin

It's been three weeks. Without a single word from Sesshomaru, not a visit, not a letter, nothing... This broke Rin's heart. Knowing that her dear Lord Sesshomaru hasn't come for her makes Rin feel unwanted.

'Did I hide my scent too good...?' Rin thought, she bowed her head and curled up into a little ball. "Sesshomaru-sama..." Rin whispered sadly before her eyebrows knit together. "I...I..." Rin couldn't choke out the words.

'I got to go to Sesshomaru-sama myself then!' Rin thought in confidence. She got up, looking and happily, noticing that there was still light outside. She raced away, heading towards the animal stalls.

Arriving she opened it and grabbed Ah-Uh. But she froze as she felt a presence. "Rin where are you going?" She froze, turning back to face a figure, the golden light glazing his skin into gold.

"Kohaku..." Rin murmured as tears sprung from her eyes. 'Let me go back...' Rin thought. Unable to produce the words herself. She stumbled back a few steps. Ah-Uh let out a groan of confusion.

But Ah-Uh nuzzled Rin's neck and she froze. 'Ah-Uh...he cares about me...why didn't I consider him!' Rin felt shame settle itself inside her. Her face feeling warmer, but then Rin's hands clenched into fists.

"You don't understand..." Rin began, looking up at Kohaku. He froze, catching sight of her tears. "You don't understand the feeling of loneliness!" Rin shouted. She let out a sob as her legs buckled and she fell on her knees.

"Rin!" Kohaku exclaimed, rushing up to the depressed Rin. But Rin's head was bowed, her bangs shielding her eyes from the world. He embraced her, his arms wrapping around her shoulders as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"I know how you feel Rin." She heard Kohaku say. She stiffened, looking up at him through her teary eyes. "Naraku controlled me into killing my friends, my father, and even to betray my sister, my only surviving family member of mine."

Rin was surprised, he had such a monotone voice, but looking into his eyes, she saw hurt, fear and regret. "I even hurt Kagome..." He said. Rin frowned, hugging him. "I-I didn't know..." Rin began.

But Kohaku looked at Rin, "Then I traveled with Kikyo-sama...then I lost her too..." He finished, Rin frowned. "Ever since then, I wandered here, and Satomi-sama took me under her care..." He said looking at Rin.

Rin looked down, "I'm sorry..." Rin said and he nodded. "It's alright... Just why are you so attached to a cold Youkai like him?" Kohaku said. Rin smiled at the thought of her demon lord. Not noticing the hostility Kohaku has towards her beloved Sesshomaru-sama.

"When I was a young child, I witnessed the deaths of my parents, and my brother. After that a village took me in, though I was muted by the horror." I stated. I looked up towards the sky, smiling.

"But once day I found Sesshomaru-sama, injured in the forest...so I took care of him, even though he didn't need it." Rin said with a giggle, but then she stopped, her expression growing serious once more. "Then I was attacked by wolves, only for Sesshomaru-sama to revive me..." Rin confessed.

Before looking at Kohaku. "I love Sesshomaru-sama, and I promised to follow him forever!" Rin said, Kohaku looked away. "Do you love him that much...to abandon me!" He accused, this caught Rin off guard.

Rin looked away. "Kohaku..." She said once more but he stood up. "Just...promise not to leave me..." He said before walking away, leaving Rin alone to think about her response. 'It's definitely Sesshomaru-sama Kohaku...'

Rin mounted Ah-Uh. He let out a roar but Rin hushed him, "Please Ah-Uh...we have to return to Lord Sesshomaru." Rin said, as she climbed on top of him. They took off into the air, Rin made sure they were heading towards the west.

Soon light was seen, Ah-Uh growled in happiness and Rin smiled but stopped as they were confronted by a woman. The woman smirked, "Why hello there." She smiled, Rin knew it was a Youkai, since she was flying, but something familiar was about her.

"I can finally finish you off! And here I thought Sesshomaru-sama was going to kill me! But he left to rescue you!" She hissed, and I gasped. 'That woman! She is the one who killed Ah-Uh the first time!'

"Die!" She yelled, as a big fireball formed and shot from her hand. "Move Ah-Uh!" Rin shouted, and the beast did, escaping the fire ball just barely. 'Damnit...if only I had my miko powers...' Rin thought in frustration.

But then thunder shot from the sky, and she held it in her hands. She threw it, and this time there was no escaping it as it made a ball around them. Rin cursed aloud. But the woman approached them, "How does it feel? To be knowing that death is near but there is nothing you can do about it?" She teased.

Rin grunted and Ah-Uh took a deep breath in and breathed fire. But the fire soon joined the lightning and surrounded them. "Meet your fate!" Soon the lightning closed around them. Ah-Uh let out a roar of pain while Rin shrieked as pain coursed through her body.

Rin managed to look at Ah-Uh and watched him go limp, the fire burning her and Ah-Uh. 'No!' Rin thought as tears escaped her eyes. "Stop hurting Ah-Uh!" Rin cried out as golden light shot out from her.

The burning stopped and Rin watched the ball explode and the woman growl. "What the-" But she screamed as a beam of gold went through her chest, she looked at me. "You...damn cheater...you're a miko..." She hissed before disappearing.

'But weren't my powers taken away...?' Rin thought before the light disappeared. Then Rin felt like she was falling. Rin opened her eyes, weak from the power drainage and looked at Ah-Uh's limp corpse as it fell down from the sky with her.

Rin shrieked. She embraced once of his heads and cried. Memories flooded her of their companionship, travels, hardships. "Don't leave me..." Rin thought as she sobbed. But Rin didn't hear his soft breathing, nor feel his heat. Just...

Nothing...

Rin saw the floor coming closer. Closing her eyes she removed the charm and wrapped it around her own neck and kissed both heads on the cheek before taking in a deep breath. 'You won't die alone Ah-Uh...' Rin closed her eyes, awaiting her death.

"Rin!" I heard Kohaku's voice said. 'I'm sorry Kohaku...' Suddenly she heard a growl and looked to see a big white dog. "Sesshomaru-sama..." Rin whispered, remembering the times he transformed.

But Kohaku was on it, Rin's heart fell as she noticed, it wasn't Sesshomaru-sama. It was Satomi-sama, his mother. Rin hugged Ah-Uh even tighter as in a second, she was surrounded by fur.

"Rin! What's wrong you're covered in burnt marks and scrapes!" Kohaku said but he stopped as he caught sight of Ah-Uh. "What happened...?" He asked and I sobbed. "H-He tried to protect me...Ah-Uh!" Rin sobbed.

Kohaku embraced Rin, "We...We will bury him Rin..." Kohaku soothed, I cried on his shoulder, before the dog howled as we landed inside the palace walls once more...
