" And I did, I love you Rin, always and forever. Forever mine."

"Forever mine."

"Forever… mine."

' Forever mine. It haunts me. I have dreams about it, even when I'm awake. It is engraved in my mind. Put there with a hot iron chisel. Forever there…forever mine. I will be forever his. I love you too, Sesshomaru, I always have. I didn't have enough time to tell you. Wait for me; please wait for me, wherever you are. I will go to the pits of hell, if you are there.' She toyed with her necklace. ' I will never let you go. I will keep this necklace as a reminder. That you did care for me, love me.'

" Is that…?"

" It's a birthday present."

" Thank you."

' Thank you…my love. We will one day be together again. One day…'

Chapter 4: The Truth Comes Out

Old wooden door slid open quietly. Kagome shook her head remembering where she was. " Rin is that you?" She whispered.

Rin took two steps in, whipped her cheeks and said, " Yes, it's me."

Kagome snuggled in her sleeping bag, so Rin wouldn't suspect that Kagome was worried about her. Rin tiptoed over the group who remained asleep. She went into her room in which she was graciously given. She closed the door slowly and lied down on her futon. She took a big sigh and went to sleep.

Kagome sat up one last time. She brought out a new emerald green book. It was a diary, she wrote by the little moonlight she had from the nearby window. ' Dear Diary, I was thinking back on when she first told us about what happened that night. I realized that it took her so long to finally tell us what happened. She didn't speak to us for 2 weeks, but when she did decide to talk, it was very vague. I could tell she had problems telling us the whole story. She took out something; I just know it. She told us that there was a brutal battle and that she was taken hostage. That Sesshomaru was wounded because he was constantly worried for her safety. Than she told us that in the end Sesshomaru protected her from Yeteki's final blast, and he than fell faint after that. But, it was the way she said it; something was said between Rin and Sesshomaru…I wonder what. Well, I've been writing to your for the past 2 months because of my thoughts. I let nobody else know about what is going through my mind, because I don't know if anyone is feeling what I feel. Something is happening to me as well. I'm not as happy as I used to be, Shippou is starting to grow distant from me. Even Inuyasha has been acting strangely. He will look at me like he knows what I am thinking…I may tell him. He may already know. Goodnight diary.' She closed the book and set the lock. ' I don't know why I bother.' She went back into her sleeping bag and tears feel from her eyes. ' What is happening to me?'

*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)

 The next day, Miroku woke up early and made breakfast for everyone, nothing extravagant, but still food. " Sango can you go wake up Rin?" Kagome asked politely. " And Kagome, have you seen that knife you brought from your time? That real nice one, I need to used it to cut this in half."

Kagome looked down at what he was referring to as food. No one was really sure what is was, but it tasted good. He had made it before, and even Inuyasha's keen senses weren't sure what was in it. " Um…no they were over there last time I used it. Sorry Miroku."

"Yeah…I'll go wake Rin up." Sango opened the door and all she was an unmade futon. She noticed the window was open. Sango sighed, 'She snuck out again. She does this all to often. She seems to like us all, but she never fully accepted us. I don't know what I can do. She came to us, but I guess this is the only place she could go. She has no family, and Sesshomaru meant everything to her. Kagome feels the most for her; I see her staring at Rin a lot and then crying. I know how Rin feels.' She got up and reopened the door. " She snuck out again." By now everyone was used to it. She did it often and always to the same place.

" I'll go get her." Inuyasha said arrogantly. He often messed with Rin; it was his way of showing he cared. I don't know if anyone else realized it, but he knew it. ' Glad I got out of that house. I've just been thinking lately about the incident. When Rin talks, she partially lies, I can smell it. She is hiding something and it pisses me off. But, all these years I have hated my half brother…brother. I don't know how I feel. I feel sad, but not so much. I think I've always wondered what he thought of me. We used to always fight for the tetsusaiga, but once he met Rin he less and less tried.  That girl changed him somehow; melted his hatred for humans, slightly. I've thought about it before, but did Rin love my brother. Did my brother…love Rin? I just don't know, but something happened. I remember, the few times I did see Rin; she was so happy and full of life. Now when I look at her, it's almost like a piece of her died with Sesshomaru, a big piece…her heart. Why I care I don't know, but everyone has been acting quiet, Kagome most of all. I think when I see Rin; alone, I will ask her for the truth, because, it is affecting us all.

Inuyasha reach his destination. It was a clearing in the middle of the forest. It had a small stream that ran through it. It was a very serene place, distant from everywhere else. The clearing is just far enough to be alone, probably why Rin likes it so much. Sitting by the stream was Rin. She sat there putting her hands in the water, her back facing Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at her for a minute, then took a step forward.

" So, you've come to take me back? I expected you least of all, Inuyasha." Rin replied without turning around to see who is was.

Inuyasha was stunned for a minute. Inuyasha took another step. " So, how'd you know it was me?" He said in his usual cocky voice.


" I don't know, I just knew it was you." She stood up and walked off in the opposite direction of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha warily opened his mouth to ask the question he planned on asking. " What really happened that night with Sesshomaru?"

Rin froze. Her eyes shoot open and tears streamed down her tender cheeks. She couldn't speak.

Inuyasha noticed the change in her smell. The air was carrying a salt-based substance in it. ' I made her upset, but she cant keep hiding this from us. It's been long enough.' He stepped forward once more. " Rin, I know something happened…you need to let me know. He is my brother."

" Some brother you were. You've fought for years, if not your whole lives. Why would you all of a sudden care?" Inuyasha didn't answer. " That's what I thought." She started to walk again.

Inuyasha stood there. " I always cared."

She was caught off guard. She turned around to face him. " What do you mean?" She said timidly.

Inuyasha raised his head. His eyes met with hers. " I never started the fighting with him. He was always set on getting the tetsusaiga. Sesshomaru was jealous I was given this sword. It wasn't my choice; I preferred it, but still not mine. When I was a kid, I barely knew my brother, but with all my father's friends, they all loved Sesshomaru, the next to be the heir to the ruler of the Western Lands. I lived with my mother, because I was never treated as full demon. I was only half, so that meant that I wasn't set to deal with the Western Land's issues. But, humans still feared me, and with their insecurity, they treated me cruelly. I didn't take it that shit from them. So, when my mother died, I went on my own. Without anyone, without a brother, but that didn't mean I never thought of him. I always wanted his approval of me, his acceptance of me." He stopped. His tone went down and became calmer. " So, if you want to blame someone for not being much of a brother, blame him. Not me."

Rin was upset about what she had said. " Well, he often talked about you. When he did talk to you it wasn't always cruel. The words may have been, but they weren't in his tone, or eyes. It's just my opinion, but I do think her accepted you, from the very beginning."

Inuyasha didn't say anything.

Rin decided it was time. That maybe he would understand. " The night of the battle with Sesshomaru, everything I told you so far, was true. And, you're right; I did leave out some. I told you that Sesshomaru protected me from Yeketi's final attack, but before Sesshomaru did… fall faint, he said things to me. He said things that have been haunting my dreams, nightmares every night. I remember what he said to me." Her eyes fell as she recited her love's words. " Rin, all I wanted to do…was protect you… And I did, I love you Rin, always and forever. Forever mine." She chocked up. " Than he… kissed me on… the forehead. And…" She started to cry hysterically.

Inuyasha walked up to her and embraced her. Rin cried on his shoulder. ' I don't know what to say to her, but now I know. My brother, Sesshomaru; after all his cruel words towards humans, he fell in love with one. She did change him. She too was in shock. The first time she came here, I remember her saying ' Forever mine.' Now I know what it means. I'm sorry Rin.'

He stayed in that position for a while, letting her cry. Then Inuyasha slowly removed one of his hands and lifted up her head. He looked in her eyes. " I'm sorry Rin."

She just kept her emotions low again. Her tears flowed, but her face had returned to the emotionless, tear filled one. Like when she first arrived. Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'That face, it hurts to look at.' " Stop." He yelled. " Don't return to the girl that first came to us. Don't. You do not need to block us out again. It's killing everyone… Kagome most of all."

Rin's head lowered. Her bangs covered her eyes from Inuyashas'. She backed away from him. Her voice was hushed to a horse rasp. " What makes you think I care about any of you?" She said bitterly.

" If you really didn't, you would have been gone a long time ago." Inuyasha said just as evil.

She looked up at him. " If that's what you think, then I'll go." She said broadly. She turned around to leave.

" I can't stop you. It's not my place to, but so you know, there will always be a place that you can come home to. Just so you know that."

Rin continued to walk to who knows where. All she had with her were the clothes on her back, and a well-hidden knife. She disappeared into the depths of the forest. For the third time in her life, she was left on her own. What would she do now? With only the company of a metal blade attached to a well-designed handle and her self-prison, her mind.

' I hope I did the right thing.' Inuyasha thought as he watched the last of Rin's figure fade away.

Well, there that's done. I hope everyone likes the story so far… feel free point out anything, any mistakes I may have. I mean I do most of my writing in the very early hours of the morning. Usually around 3 am…but that's when I'm most awake. It seems that nobody ever heard of the band Jack Off Jill, not that I really expected it. Heh, they're not popular, mainly because there stuff can't be played on radios. So yeah, its okay, o and they aren't that new either. Okay sorry, now that I'm done with my raving on about them I would like to say I hope to have chap.5 up soon.
