Yeah. Another short chapter. And since it seems like my old friend,
Batafurai in the getsuei, is the only one reading this, I'll only write to
her.
Thanks for pointing out the problems in my descriptions, and you might find this section interesting. But I think the funniest review you gave me was the very last one. It sounded so. casual that Rinoa was dying. It was funny. Oh well, what am I saying? I have to have things very well explained to me to understand anything. Urgh.
And you find out why the guy beats her in a few chapters, but technically, you don't find out why he beats her. It's sort of hard to explain, but I'll explain it when it comes up.
Small warning: Bit of adult stuff talked about in here, so be careful. This poor kid, Rinoa, I really beat up on her!
So, enjoy, I guess.
________________________
It was grueling. The questioning, that is. Each officer would ask the same questions over and over, pressing to find answers he did not know. Why was she being beaten? How was she beaten? Who did this?
How was he supposed to know? He had only found out about it that very morning. The officers had taken Sesshoumaru into a different room, and tapes and tapes were flowing out of room as the questions were being asked. Tapes of movies, tapes of the voices, tapes of what Sesshoumaru had said. Tapes of his sworn statement saying he was certain, though he had not seen it, that it was Rinoa's mother's boyfriend that had attacked and harmed her so.
Only a trickle of tapes came out of his room. Mainly because he just could not answer the questions.
"How did you find her, exactly?"
Inuyasha looked at the examiner and sighed. "I told you! I opened the door to get the newspaper and she was lying there, half-dead, okay? She was lying on her back, slightly turned to the left, her eyes closed. I cried out and Sesshoumaru came to the door and told me to call the ambulance. What else could I have forgotten? Nothing!"
The examiner glared at him as if he was not cooperating. "Now, son, I'm just asking a simple question. Please, be patient."
"I've been asked the exact same questions for hours now, and I don't like being asked the same thing over and over!"
"We are all questioning you just to make sure your story matches with your brother's story. So far, it is pretty consistent, but he's been making references to something we don't know about."
"Ask him about her usual family life, then! See if that might answer all your questions!" Inuyasha snapped, his face betraying his anger. The examiners thought quietly and then turned to a man near the door and nodded. For a second, Inuyasha was afraid, but soon, he got over it.
"Thank you, Inuyasha. You can go now."
Inuyasha stood up, his body shaking. Did he just do something he would regret later? Hopefully not.
The waiting room outside was quiet and serene, so unlike his mind at the present. So unlike the examining room. So unlike life.

Kagome strode down the road, intent on finding one specific house before she went to the hospital. It did not take her long to find it. Mainly because there was almost a sign on the front lawn stating that this house was in ruins, and not by natural means.
Without the slightest thought to the consequences, she jumped up the steps and pounded her hand on the door. There was a slight scuffling inside and then a well-dressed woman came to the door, her hair perfectly in place. Her make-up was perfect. The only sign there was something wrong was the horrible fear in her eyes.
"Oh, you're just a girl. What are you doing here?"
"Ma'am, do you know where your daughter is?"
"No, but I was hoping the police would bring her home sometime today."
"Bring her home? They brought her to the hospital!"
"The hospital?" the woman hissed in shock. "Whatever for? She can survive a small whipping, as any child should."
"A little whipping?" Kagome shouted. "Inuyasha told me she looked half- dead when they found her!"
"Ermia? What is going on out there?"
The woman turned to the inside and groaned. "A girl saying that the kid was taken to the hospital."
"A girl, you say?"
"Yes, so stay back in your bedroom, Jumbo," the woman shouted, turned her back on Kagome protectively. "It's bad enough you.you.last night.my daughter!"
"Not your daughter, my Ermia. That creature's daughter," the man answered, his body now appearing in front of the woman. Kagome saw the look in his eyes and began to back away. "Now, little girl.Tell me, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the hospital to visit Rinoa! Now, leave me alone, and stay away from that hospital!" Kagome shouted, her eyes taking in his huge body. He was obviously strong and much too big to be a safety with a girl. His eyes were dilated strangely, as if he was drunk.
She ran. She could hear shouts from Rinoa's mother and her boyfriend, but she ignored them. She had a horrible picture in her mind as she repeated the mother's words over and over in her head: "It's bad enough you.you.last night.my daughter!"
She had to find a way to inform the brothers as soon as she could.

At the hospital, Inuyasha exited yet another room when he heard a shout of rage from the waiting room. Instantly, he recognized it as his brother's voice and he dashed down the hallways, his fear making him run faster than the eye could comfortably watch. He skidded to a halt to find his brother storming off until a doctor grabbed his shoulder. Sesshoumaru spun on the doctor and pinned him to the wall and talked quietly to him for a few seconds before Sesshoumaru let him go.
The doctor scurried away, a new look of fear on his face. Now, Sesshoumaru was pacing angrily. Inuyasha was about to take a step toward him when a hand gripped his shoulder and kept him there.
He turned quickly and was startled to see Kagome. "Oh, hi Kagome."
"Don't bother him," Kagome murmured quietly. "I went to Rinoa's house and got a horrible feeling that more went on than her getting beaten."
Inuyasha swallowed hard as he understood her thoughts and looked at his brother. "I'd hate to be that guy right now. Sesshoumaru's going to rip him apart."
Kagome only nodded quietly as she looked at the raging boy. "I know."
_______________________
Kagome sat quietly in the waiting room, taking comfort from Inuyasha's arm that was draped over her shoulders. She also felt more protected from his raging brother that way. She had thought Sesshoumaru had been angry when she had suggested that Rinoa might have been raped.
When the tests came in that she had been but was not pregnant, Sesshoumaru had flipped. He had been cursing more colorfully than he had been in the hallway after the Naraku incident. The doctors had to make him calm down before he destroyed anything important. Sesshoumaru was almost radiating anger and hatred, and his eyes had long ago turned red from his anger.
Kagome sighed and leaned into Inuyasha, to his reddening in embarrassment, but he soon relaxed and leaned into her, giving the comfort she so desperately needed.
The door opened and an incensed Sesshoumaru watched as security guards kept him away as an unconscious Rinoa was wheeled out of the room and to another for her to recover in. Sesshoumaru immediately forced her room number out of a doctor and when she could be visited.
To his relief, she was open for visitors in a few minutes. For one hour, until sunset. Of course, he had had to explain her predicament during the examination, and after the rape had been confirmed, his story about her mother and mother's boyfriend was confirmed. She was open to any and all visitors except for those two. Kagome was personally relieved that Rinoa would be safe from those awful parents while she was at the hospital.
But what about when she would be sent back?
________________________
Sesshoumaru was pacing back and forth. Rinoa was calm and cool about what had happened, but she refused to talk about it. He snarled; he hated it when people were in denial, especially when it was obvious she should be horrified and crying desperately. But no, she was calm, cool, collected. When he asked her about what happened, she shrugged and turned the conversation to a less threatening topic.
He was so immersed in his thoughts that he did not notice another creature entering the waiting room until the creature cried in pain. Sesshoumaru spun on his heel to see the creature holding onto the counter with a shocked look on his face.
"My daughter is being held here, and I demand to see her!"
"Please, sir, what is your name then?"
"Dresno Westingfield. Please, hurry." the man muttered, his green eyes staring at the setting sun anxiously. Sesshoumaru glanced at the dark hair that he knew too well and swallowed hard.
"Mr. Westingfield, is your daughter, by chance, Rinoa Westingfield?" Sesshoumaru asked quietly. The man spun on his heel and took in Sesshoumaru's appearance.
"Yes."

So, a new spin. She hasn't seen this guy for five years, and he is the reason she got in so much trouble with Naraku. How nice.
So, review! Please! Only two chapters left! I've got other stuff up as well, if you ever want to check it out! THANKS!!!
Namarie!
