Chapter 30

The wind blew through the fog like an eerie morning, and yet the dark haired woman stood at the top of the cliff smiling down at the an entire feudal-era town. "You think he'll come back?" the darker haired woman asked her. "Which one?" The thirty-year old Rin smiled as Kagome took the girl who would be known as Persephone in all excitement. "when are you going to name your daughter?" Kagome sighed at the child laughing towards the young priestess.

Rin adjusted to swinging her feet off of the ledge as she looked at Kagome several steps back. "You know who I mean...I would never say Inuyasha he always rushes back and then at the gate he pretends he walked back at casual pace even though Miroku is extremely exhausted." Kagome was laughing with Rin. "It still feels kind of like i'm a little girl with you and Sango practically babysitting me all the time." Rin muttered as Kagome looked down towards her there was something melodramatic in her voice.

"Anyway what about this little cutie's name?" Kagome smiled playing with the sleeping child's ears as they kept twitching trying impossibly to remove themselves from her reach. "I was hoping to wait till Sesshomaru came back to tell him, maybe ask his opinion?" Rin sighed as Kagome handed down the child Rin smiled at her. "But...do you think he'll accept her?" she stated suddenly.

"Of course."

"You're worried too..."

"he's made it clear too many times how much he hates Inuyasha for what he is too many times for me to lie to you."

The girls sat down and cried unsure how the future would turn out.

Several hours past

"Rin what are you still doing up?" Kagome asked opening the curtain between the two as Rin stared at the girl knowing something only she would know as she stuffed a paper further underneath her pillow. "Kagome, take my daughter with you. Take Kaede with you. Don't come back." Rin sighed

"But Rin-"

"Kagome. Take my daughter with you."

That was a last and final decision between the two it was obvious that Rin was going to give up she was determined. She was also the only one who knew something terribly dangerous was about to befall the village. For a second Kagome lost all will picked up the child with blind unthinking eyes and went to persuade Kaede to leave with her.

Present Time

Rin opened her eyes feeling a large pulse, as if she were scared, coming from her chest. Taking a sharp breath as if she hadn't no wasn't breathing. "Rin?" a voice whispered out of the foggy darkness...she felt so nervous as if that dream had been something so real to her, a hard decision. "I think there was a threat involved" her mind blazed with questions. It was probably true though that she had been threatened though knowing her track record.

"Rin" a voice stated as she felt herself suddenly moving too fast and suddenly being sat up and embraced in a tight hug a hand placed on her head as all she could see was darkness, her sight wasn't apparently working so she decided to use her other senses.

The noise around them suddenly sounded like being outside in the middle of the woods maybe the knight. No cars, or anything just frogs croaking in an eerie sound and crickets chirping. But what she did notice was two people's breath seeming as if they were scared toodeath over something.

The feelings she could feel something along the lines of dried water had run down her forehead and arms. Someone was keeping her in tight embrace she felt as if they held her any tighter she was going to struggle to breathe, their hand placed on the back of her head so she couldn't pull back to look at them. The smell was something familiar though...it smelled of something like she always thought would smell like home.

When I was finally let go I looked at a teary-eyed Persephone and Sesshomaru, the two people who I was beginning to get to know. "What happened?" Rin muttered looking at the two standing a little further away. "You were attacked Rin...well when I came here it looked more like a kidnapping...cause you seemed to be asleep at first and all." Persephone went on hollering in panic as Sesshomaru flinched at everything being put so bluntly towards Rin.

"Oh is that all that happened?" Rin smiled as Persephone shook her. "No that's not all that happened, it was a really bad situation, it's a bad thing if you can casually fling it off like this!" Persephone panicked. "We should get the police or something, personal detectives!" Persephone paced in the backyard. "You're going to wake everyone in the dorm up." Rin sighed as Sesshomaru looked at Persephone.

"Oh yeah I have school in the morning anyway." Persephone lied as she hurried away, she knew a surprisingly lot for how fast she apparently aged. "um...Sesshomaru..." Rin muttered as he looked down towards her. "I can't get up." she whispered unsure if he would hear her in the whisper as he suddenly scooped her up carrying her back to the dorm. "Rin. You've got to be more careful, that could've been just anybody." he sighed as she nodded holding tightly to his neck just in-case he might possibly drop her.

They finally made it up the steps as he kicked open the unlocked dorm, another figure emerged in a shadow-like figure approached the staircase gawking at the two. "Rin, you do realize who you're with, right?" Haku's voice stated as she whipped her head around too fast making her dizzy. "No...I mean what.." Haku looked as if either complete confusion anger or shock, maybe all at the same time. "What's wrong?" she managed to whisper as Haku looked her over making her feel self-consis after the big battle in the back of the dorm. "I came to check on you, and this is what I find!" Haku was probably flipping out from what she thought. She glanced at Sesshomaru who showed no signs of knowing more than she did. "Did he do that?" Haku quickly jumped to his own conclusions at that moment. Sesshomaru and Rin looked at each other not understanding why Haku was flipping out. "Rin don't be upset...but this has been my job for quite a long time." he sighed. "Wait what job?" Rin thought back to him the words being unneeded. Haku quickly removed his sword from it's container strapped to his back and removed something silver from his pocket.

"It's to protect people like you from people like him!"
