Sesshomarufan30: I believe it does pull you in from the start.
kagomeLove2: Well, I was wondering where you went. I can understand wanting to wait a few chapters, heck that's how I feel with tv shows, they come on, and it's like, no! Stupid cliffhanger.
Tatistus: Wow, a new reviewer! Thank you for the review! And, I'll try not to kill him.

Chapter 25:
Kagome was knocking on Rin's door almost an hour after she had called her with the news.
Rin let her in, only then noticing the wolves around her house.
Kagome gave Rin a tight hug, noticing her devastating state.
"Where is InuYasha?" Rin asked.
"He's coming." Kagome answered, before moving away to look at Sesshomaru. "Where are we doing this?"
"The place I first met Rin. Humans can't come between this." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome pulled out her phone that was ringing, "It's Kaede, I'm going to pick her up. We'll meet you there."
Kagome left the house and drove away.
Kouga then came in the house, "I'll wait here for them, they can follow us to the house."
Sesshomaru nodded, taking Rin's hand, "Are you ready?"
"No." Rin sighed.
"It will all be over soon." Sesshomaru turned her to him.
Rin nodded. This was happening, and nothing she could say would stop it.
Sesshoaru led her out of the house, back to the place they always seemed to find their way back to.
Sesshomaru was talking with InuYasha.
Rin watched them throuh the window of the buildin.
The closer the time came, the more her heart silently wept.
An arm wrapped around her shoulders, and she was pulled away from the two demons.
"Rin. Everything will be fine. If I've heard enough about Sesshomaru, he can handle anything." Kagome told her.
"I know. I just... Try to figure what whatever happened to make it turn out like this. I mean, if I hadn't met him, maybe-"
"Rin. Don't talk like that. You are his soul mate. You are meant for each other." Kagome said.
Rin sighed, "I know, I just wish we could have met on different standards."
Kagome laughed, "Fate has a crazy way of working things out."
Rin glanced back at the window, where InuYasha was heading towards the door, Sesshomaru making no moves to follow.
"Are ye ready Kagome?" Kaede asked.
Kagome sighed, "The question is, are you? You haven't used your priestess powers in years."
"Neither have you." Kaede pointed out.
"Wait." Rin told them, before taking off past InuYasha, out the door.
She all but crashed into his arms, clinging onto him for dear life.
His arms returned the favor, bringing her even closer to him.
HIs face buried into her neck, taking in her scent, "I'll be back, Rin. I promise."
She held him tighter, as if trying one last time to prevent him from leaving.
He managed to pull away, nonetheless, before forcing her chin up to look at him.
Their lips met again, the kiss was deep and almost desperate.
Rin's lips moved against his, the kiss making her almost forget the world around them for that one sweet second.
He finally gathered the strength to pull away, but she followed him, kissing him one last time as if her life depended on it.
When the kiss ended, their foreheads met together, Sesshomaru whispered barely audible words to her, "I love you Rin, I promise I'll be back."
"I love you too." Rin managed, trying to prevent more tears from coming out.
"Now go. Kaede and Kagome are ready to set the barrier." Sesshomaru pulled away.
Rin backed away from him, before forcing herself to turn around and head back to the house.
Kagome and Kaede both stood outside the door, summoning their inner power to perform the barrier.
Then, almost like a closing window, the barrier was forming around the house, meeting the ground as a large funnel.
Rin could still easily see Sesshomaru, who was staring directly at her.
"Sesshomaru! The wolves caught their scent." Kouga brought his attention to the task at hand.
"Go." Sesshomaru said, before his eyes phased red, and his form enlared to the giant white dog Rin had only seen once.
Giving her one last glance, he took off after the wolf pack and out of siht.
When Rin could see him no more, she sighed and withdrew into the house.
Kagome and InuYasha were in the living room, while Kaede was taking first watch, makin sure the barrier stayed up and strong.
"I'm going to lay down." Rin told them before heading off to the only piece of Sesshomaru she had left.
His room.
