**********************************************************
Rin didn't feel the swift moment behind she was so occupied with watching the beautiful couple before her. It hit once she felt arms warp around her waist and pulled her roughly against a chest. Rin looked behind to see the large Youkai holding her with a smirk, her voice died out and she couldn't cry out. "I have your toy now, which would you pick the princess or this human girl?" he asked. Sesshoumaru noticed Rin's uneven breathing and turned towards her, that's when he saw the Youkai grab smile and her. Sesshoumaru growled furiously. "Let her go" he said. "She's mine now, it's not fair you get both of them" he said. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes on him once more. The Youkai ran a finger down Rin's cheek she's a beauty. I shall have fun playing with her," he said looking at Sesshoumaru with an evil grin. "I don't wish to play childish games with you" he said. Rin couldn't call out his name, or it was she didn't want to. She felt her captor's hold on her get tighter and soon they were fleeing through the open balcony doors. "Rin!" Sesshoumaru yelled, but she didn't answer she was just shocked. Sesshoumaru let Sonomi go and ran after the already disappearing bodies of Rin and her captive. *I'll kill that piece of shit, if he lay a hand on her* he thought as he ran faster on their trail.
********************************************************
The tears welled up in Rin eyes as she and her captor moved fast through the forest. *Why? Why me?* she thought as more tears rushed out. "Please stop crying, I will not hurt you" said the Youkai in a gentle voice. "That's kind of hard to believe!" said Rin. "I am sorry for what I have done" he said. Rin looked confused. "You sound so gentle now, but back there you...well you were about to hurt Lady Sonomi" said Rin. "Don't talk about that witch!" said the Youkai. "You seem to dislike her" said Rin. "And so should you" said the Youkai. "What? Why?" asked Rin. "She is the one who order me to abducted you" said the Youkai. Everything hit Rin like a sword being stabbed to her heart. Of course Lady Sonomi tested Sesshoumaru, by putting herself in a position such as that. Rin felt herself chuckled. "So that what it was" she said. "I am sorry my lady" he said. "You don't have to apologize" said Rin. "I will take you to a safe cave, I fear for my life" he said. "Don't worry when Sesshoumaru-sama gets here I'll explain everything" said Rin. The Youkai nodded and they headed for the cave. Sesshoumaru how ever wasn't at all happy about this. Nothing was making sense at all. Why would he suddenly attack Sonomi and then go after Rin? This was just to much. One thing was for sure when he found that bloody bastard he was going to pay for even touching 'his' Rin.
Rin and the Youkai arrived at a fairly large cave. He gently set her down. "I am sorry" he said once again. "Your hurt" said Rin noticing the blood stain. "Huh? Oh it was when I was rushing through the forest I didn't want to hurt you" he said. Rin smiled as she walked up to him. "Let me see it" she said. "Huh?" she asked. "I know your a Youkai and that it will probably heal soon but I still want the bleeding to stop" she said as she touched his wound. The Youkai stared at her stupidly. "I don't understand you, shouldn't you be yelling running away?" asked the Youkai. "I would have if I didn't know you mean no harm" said Rin with a smile. The Youkai nodded but still looked unsure. Rin ripped a piece of her night gown and tighten it around his arm. "It should stop the bleeding, wish I had my bags and herbs to better help you" said Rin. The Youkai shook his head. "I am great full" he said. Rin sat down on the cool floor of the cave. "I didn't think she would do such a thing" said Rin as she found herself crying once more. "Was it that shocking to you?" asked the Youkai who was sitting across from her. "No, I guess not that much, I mean she seemed so relieved when I told to make Sesshoumaru-sama stay" said Rin. "That witch is a selfish bitch" said the Youkai. Rin smiled. "But she has a good side though" said Rin. "You are so different from any one I have known you don't hold a grudge and you forgive quickly" he said. "I guess that's because you really don't go anywhere by holding a grudge, better to forgive and forget 'most' things" she said.
Sesshoumaru was just outside the cave when he heard voices it sounded like Rin's and a much gentler voice then her captives. "It must have been hard for you...you seem so kind" said Rin. "Well, it was considering they were threatening to kill my mate" said the Youkai. "That' horrible" said Rin. The Youkai nodded. "But I can't say I am any different" said Rin. The Youkai looked up in an instant. "But you are" he said. Rin shook her head. "Taking another life is wrong no matter what kind it is, my head and heart has been so clouded by hate and rage that I forgot what I was taught to live by" said Rin. "You lost your lover?" asked Youkai. "No, I just didn't lose that I lost everything, my family, friends, my home...I lost it twice...funny now I can feel all of their pain" said Rin. The Youkai watched with sympathy. "I never knew my parent...but I grew up on my own, fell in love and wanted to start a family where I children would have love" he started. "Sounds wonderful" said Rin. "It sounds wonderful, but to achieve such a goal takes time, and much work in today's world" he said. Sesshoumaru listen from outside. "After I lost my family the second time I don't know what happen to me, I completely changed. My heart couldn't see life any more, I became just as those who killed my family" said Rin. "I don't believe your like that at all, actually you remind me of someone a human, she was traveling with a group of people, she was gentle and kind like you, she helped my mate when she was hurt" he said. "She said to us that 'life is to precious to waste of hurting, you should enjoy it to the fullest' I never forgot those words" said The Youkai. Rin gasped. "That woman where did you meet her and when was it?" asked Rin. "It was a month back, and I meet her the eastern lands" he said confused.
Rin's eye filled with tears. "Lady Rin?" asked the Youkai. "She is alive...it has to be her..." said Rin. Sesshoumaru took this time to step in to the cave. Rin looked up at him and smiled. "Sesshoumaru-sama" she said. Sesshoumaru looked down at her, she sat on the ground with a smile, as if nothing happened and they were playing at game of hide and go seek. "Rin are you all right?" he asked. "Fine" she said. Sesshoumaru turned towards the Youkai who was now standing and bowing his head. "I apologize for taking Lady Rin, but that was my order" said the Youkai. "From whom?" asked Sesshoumaru. The Youkai looked towards Rin who shook no. The Youkai looked confused for a second. "I am sorry my Lord but I can't answer that" said the Youkai. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes on the Youkai before him. "Sesshoumaru-sama please let him be, he didn't harm me in any way" said Rin just before Sesshoumaru was about to punch the living day light out of the Youkai. "Rin he abducted you" said Sesshoumaru as if trying to explain the situation to a child. "I know but that is what he was order to do, it wasn't his fault" said Rin. Sesshoumaru growled. Rin looked at the Youkai. "I suggest that you and your mate go somewhere else" said Rin. "Yes, we will. Thank you Lady Rin" said the Youkai. "What are you thanking me for, I didn't do anything, and I should be thanking you" said Rin with a smile. The Youkai shook his head. "No, my Lady, you help with my wound and you saved my life, yet I did nothing for you" he said. Sesshoumaru's eyes drifted towards where the scent of his blood and Rin mixed, he saw a part of her nightgown wrapped around his arm.
"Take care" she said. The Youkai nodded as it fled once more. Sesshoumaru stood standing, while Rin sat down once more. "Why didn't you let him tell who it was?" he asked. "Because I didn't find the need for you to know" she said. Sesshoumaru growled "I will tell you if I find it useful or not" he said. Rin didn't looked at him. "We should get back" he said. "Yes, we should" she said. *Get back to reality* thought Rin. Rin stood slowly and started to walk towards the entrance only to be pulled in to a hug by Sesshoumaru. He held tight as if he was his very life line. Rin hugged back, but Sesshoumaru sensed the weakness in her hug. "Who was it Rin, why are you trying to protect them?" asked Sesshoumaru. Rin rubbed her face on his chest. "Nobody Sesshoumaru-sama, lets pretend everything that has happened up until now is a dream. I don't exist in your world, and you don't in mine" she said as she pulled away. "What's wrong with you?" he asked. "Nothing Sesshoumaru-sama nothing at all, it's just time for me to come back to reality" she whispered. "So am I an illusion?" He asked. "It is best if you marry Lady Sonomi and settle down...I want you to be happy, for that is all I can give you for all you did" she said. "You think Lady Sonomi can make me happy?" he asked. "Why wouldn't she? She is beautiful, and she loves you very much" said Rin. [AN: I would call it in the lines of obsession, but hey that's just me]
"Why do you keep giving in and suddenly want to take it back" he asked. Rin smiled at his confusing words. "Sesshoumaru-sama you are I live in two different worlds. And I don't want to take anything from you..." she said as she touched his cheek. Sesshoumaru took her hand and pulled her in to another hug. "Then do take it" he whispered. "Don't take what?" she asked. Rin wanted to cry 5 more minutes, it was as if she was in a dream that she wanted to go on forever, but she was lingering between reality and subconsciousness. Rin pulled away slightly and kissed Sesshoumaru o the cheek. "I don't want it to be good-bye but it has to be" she whispered. They were only centimeters apart from each other. Sesshoumaru took this as a chance to pull her back to this 'dream' that she wanted to escape so much. Sesshoumaru pressed his lips against hers, gently brushing his lips against hers. "Don't..." she said as he continued to kiss her. He licked her lips playfully while nibbling on her upper lip. "Why..." he asked. Rin's hands slowly went from his chest to his shoulder. Sesshoumaru softly licked her lips, seeking an entrance to her warm mouth. She complied and soon had Sesshoumaru's tongue inside of her mouth, exploring every corner. She used her own tongue to massage his gently. This is what she wanted yet she didn't. Sesshoumaru held her closer, yet she wasn't close enough. He knew where this was going to lead to and so did she, he had so objections at all about it.
Rin shook her head and pulled away breathing heavliy. "No..." she said pulling away and backing away until she hit the cold walls of the cave. "I can't do it...I can't take you away" she said. Sesshoumaru stepped closer to her. "Rin..." he said. "Lady Sonomi and your land needs you" she said. Sesshoumaru stopped as he stared at her. How ironic that he had lived his life up until now protecting his land, and chasing after the Tesusagia, but now he was willing to give it all up. "Your not taking away anything from..." he started, but then realized she was taking away everything from him. "I won't let you push me away" he said once again coming close. "Well I will push you away, I have things I have to do, and I don't want you in it" she said. "You
