Who would've known?
Two parents who have worked very hard to raise their child, and then dying after faults in their life. . .
Those parents. . .raising me.
I stare at the gravestone in front of me. Rain falls on my head and slides recklessly down my cheeks. My tears follow them.
The flowers are wilting; the rain would only wash new ones away.
I bow in remorse, feeling the water skim over my eyes.
Unknowingly I fall asleep on their tombstone.

"Hey! Stop that!" Sango cries out as Miroku 'accidentally' spills red paint all over her. I watch student council members paint a banner after school.
=Flashback=
"They say that two people destined together are tied by a red thread. Our pinky fingers are tied together, even though you can't see!" My mother giggles as my dad looks away, blushing. I laugh and smile. I wondered when I would find my 'person just for me'. . .
But I don't think about those things anymore.
=End Flashback=
"Watch it!" Miroku puts his hands over his head but fails to stop the red paint from staining his raven hair.
Red thread. . .
"Rin! Aren't you going to help? It's really fun!" Kagome waves to me.
I shake my head, and begin to walk away.
"I'm sure she's just shy," Kagome tells Inuyasha.

I walk home slowly, my step-aunt usually doesn't come home until late at night, but sometimes she's doesn't. The sunset reflects in the river flowing by me.
And then I see him.
There Sesshoumaru is, leaning next to a tree and staring at the waters.
And somehow, I wish to join him.
This feeling irritates me.
My foot slides through the hill and stops next to him. I sit on my knees and watch the river with him in silence. I feel his amber eyes casting over me.
"Why do you want to stay with a youkai? I can hurt you, you know."
But you won't.
"I don't know why, Sesshoumaru-sama," I answer softly.
He doesn't reply.
"Since when does Sesshoumaru allow pathetic girls to sit with him?" a dangerously tranquil voice says.
A large gust of wind surrounds both of us, and I see Kagura standing there.
"I do not fight worthless battles."
"And yet you hang with worthless beings," she flaps out her fan and covers her face except her eyes. I glance away as her bright crimson eyes cast down on me.
Sesshoumaru moves in front of me, his arms still crossed. "What might you be here for? I wish to be here in peace."
"My sister's mirror is hungry," she says. "And I've told her of a soul which is not worth living."
My eyes widen as I turn around.
There, a figure watches me. Her body is pale, and in her hands clasps a mirror that is emitting a small glow. Her white hair moves slightly as the wind blows.
As I stand up slowly, I see my reflection in the mirror. My knees begin to weaken, the blood in my veins running cold. The chocolate color of my eyes is slowly draining of life.
Suddenly I fall on my knees and snap back to reality. I place a hand on my forehead to suppress the dizziness. Sesshoumaru had unleashed his claws, fighting against the mirror.
"It will reflect your attacks," the girl says with no tone.
"Kanna's mirror is impenetrable."
He winces, and then is thrust back into a tree. However, he is not knocked unconscious.
"Kagura, are you causing trouble again?"
She glances at a boy with his hair tied into a ponytail.
"Kouga," she says turning to him. "What do you want?"
"I have to settle a score with you, for hurting all my friends and slaughtering them," he says angrily.
"Your friends were so weak when they were little. You've ruined all my fun now," she replies crossly. Pulling a feather out of her hair, she rides on a larger one and goes away. Kanna steps back and slowly disperses.
"Looks like Sesshoumaru got beaten up!" he exclaims, smirking as he slides down next to him.
"Never," he defends, not moving from his spot.
"He was merely protecting me," I say softly.
Kouga snorts, "I think Sesshoumaru isn't the type to do that!"
You think wrong.
"Yo, you need me to get someone to help?"
Sesshoumaru-sama shakes his head. "Just leave."
"Tch, whatever." And the wolf youkai storms away, leaving a gust of wind.

I sit next to Sesshoumaru still, the night drawing deeper. His bruises are healing more quickly than I had anticipated.
"You don't have to stay."
I merely smile at him.
"I wasn't injured badly."
I laugh softly.
He narrows his eyes a bit, and then looks back at the water.
I just want to stay with you.
I bend my knees up as I turn my attention back to the water as well.
Night is embracing me into its slumber. My eyes droop slowly downwards and my head jerks to stay up.
And then I am defeated as I rest my head against Sesshoumaru and fall asleep.
I love the fact he doesn't complain. I don't know why, though.
Life is still a mystery to me.
