Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it? Come on now; use your brain, if I owned Inuyasha would I be right here right now. I don't think so. Nope I would be busy writing more wonderful episodes and manga for all the wonderful viewers. But since I don't, you get the next chappie of stone heart.
A.N. I am soooooo sorry for getting this chapter out late. I have a terrible case of writers block, so it took forever to write the next chappie. Then after I finally wrote the chapter my damn computer didn't save right and it all got erased. So it's taken me forever to write the next chapter again. Oh, and to all of you who reviewed, and even those who didn't, thanks for reading my story. And a special shout out to all the reviewers. You guys are the best. Well without further ado I give you chapter two of stone heart.
Sesshomaru's shock wore off as he pushed Rin off him and into a tree. She had managed to stab his shoulder, and now the blood from the wound poured down his side. He growled as he watched the crimson liquid drip off his fingers and onto the cold forest floor.
"You will pay for that, wench," He said as he took an attack stance. Anger rising at being called wench Rin stood. Ignoring the blood from her reopened wounds, she quickly dodged an attack made at her and clutched the sword close to her. Rin swore under her breath as she felt the searing pain shot through her while Sesshomaru ripped open her side with his poison claw.
"Dammit," She said as she regained her composer, "You bastard, what the hell do you want."
Sesshomaru smiled. (A.N holy shit, I didn't know he could do that!) "To kill you." He said, smile never leaving his face. Rin shivered at the eeriness of the grin.
"Great," Rin said to herself, "another asshole out to kill me."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the comment. "So I am not the only one you seemed to anger." He asked, amusement twinkling in his cold amber eyes.
"Oh shut up." Rin snapped, her patience running dry. "What do you know?"
He smirked, "I believe that is my line." Rin's anger, well hidden, (A.N *snicker* yah right) shout through the roof. "Can we just get this over with," Rin's voice was shaking with anger.
"Whatever you say." Sesshomaru said, the idea of killing her giving him great pleasure. They each took their attack stances, ready to begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Inuyasha's jaw had not been securely in, it would have hit the forest floor. He couldn't believe it. Rin had not only held her own against Sesshomaru, but she had actually wounded him. If that wasn't enough, the amount of emotion she was getting out of him was incredible. Inuyasha didn't think his brother even could growl, let alone smile.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said, her voice quivering with disbelief, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
Inuyasha only nodded, eyes never leaving the battle before him. Kagome quickly turned her gaze back to the battle, "wow."
Kagura groaned as she walked through the forest; she had been traveling in circles for hours. She let out a frustrated growl, and decided to take a break. She sat on an old stump and tried to decide where to turn. "Left or right, left or right. Uhhhhh, this is getting me nowhere." She sighed and closed her eyes. Her mind drifted back to the reason she was here in the first place. She snapped her eyes open and stood. "Forward it is." She said as she continued to walk. She sighed again; this was going to be a long day.
Rin held back a scream as Sesshomaru sliced through her stomach. He had managed to fill her old wound with poison. Not to mention cause a whole bunch of new ones. Rin held her stomach as she stood and took an attack stance. Meanwhile Sesshomaru stood across from her, eyes wide with shock. How can she still stand after being subjected to all that poison? It doesn't make sense. He continued to think and ponder until he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked down and saw Rin had sliced him with his own sword. He instantly cursed himself for letting his guard down.
"Dammit bitch, you will die for that." His anger exploded as he felt a whole new hatred for the women in front of him.
"Go ahead," Rin said clenching her hands into fists, "Try and kill me you sadistic bastard." Her anger was out of control. Sesshomaru was barley able to hold his ground as he was hit with the waves of anger coming off Rin. Shit, he thought as he watched her prepare to attack, this is not good. Rin prepared to attack, anger coming off her and slamming into anything it could. The whole area around her was foreboding. Sesshomaru could only watch as Rin came at him, ready to strike him dead.
Kagome shivered at the change in atmosphere. It had quickly gone from a battle to the win, to a battle to the death. She bit her lip as she thought about all the poison Sesshomaru had put in Rin. She shivered, even if Rin did kill Sesshomaru, she would almost certainly die from the poison right after. She glanced over at Inuyasha; he had a look of worry plastered on his face, as did Sango and Miroku. They had come to find out what all the commotion was about, and just about died when they saw the battle. Kagome gasped as she watched Rin fall to the ground, the poison finally taking effect.
Rin went to charge at Sesshomaru, but as she took her stance the world began to spin. Everything was spinning, all the colors blurring together, her head pounding. That's all she could really see, blurry colors. She started to fall to the ground, and as she landed she dropped on all fours coughing up blood. The poison was finally taking effect. Rin rolled on her back, wiping blood off her mouth; the taste of copper lingering. Her world suddenly went black and memories of her childhood spun around in her head.
~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~
A four-old Rin staggered down a dirt road, crying for her mother. She tripped and fell to the ground, not even bothering to block the impact. On the cold ground she stayed, sobbing for her mother. Slowly the day faded into night and it began to snow. As the darkest part of the night arrived, an old wooden carriage rode down the lonely path, stopping when it got to the sleeping child.
A cold voice spoke from the inside, "Kagura, bring me the child." Suddenly the doors to the carriage swung opened, and a young girl around the age of six, stepped out. She quickly picked up the toddler and brought her to the voice in the carriage. The door closed and the wagon continued on its way.
Rin awoke to find herself in a small cabin. She quickly sat up, and rubbed her eyes. Across from her was a little girl around the age of six. She was in a dark blue kimono. Her hair was short and black. She had it tied into a pony and crimson eyes. The girl blinked as she saw Rin stare at her, she decided it would be best if she spoke first, "I am Kagura of the wind." She said short and simple.
"I am Rin." The little girl said, looking down at her hands.
"Why were you on the roadway." Kagura asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
Rin's eyes began to water, "I was trying to find my mommy," she said as tears poured down her face, "I think she's gone." Kagura watched as the little girl before her began to cry harder than before and she quietly moved next to her. She put a little hand on Rin's back and spoke softly, "my mommy's gone too." She said trying her best to comfort Rin. She looked up at Kagura and sniffed, "Really?"
"Yep, you can stay with me if you'd like." Rin nodded her head in response. Kagura smiled, showing her that everything would be okay.
SWITCH TO DIFFERENT MEMORY
A ten-year-old Rin watched in fascination as twelve-year-old Kagura practice her wind attacks. She pulled out her fans and began to create gust of winds, sending them off in all different directions. Rin clapped as Kagura finished.
"That was awesome Kagura!" Rin said jumping up and down. Kagura blushed and bowed. "Thanks Rin." Rin ran up to her best friend and gave her a hug. "Anytime."
SWITCH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Happy birthday Rin." Kagura said as she excitedly handed Rin a nicely wrapped package. Rin smiled. "Thanks."
"No prob, now open your gift." Kagura was even more excited than Rin.
"Okay, okay" Rin laughed at her friend's antics. She quickly unwrapped the gift, she gasped as she pulled out a silver necklace. "It's beautiful," Rin said as she looked at the red gem on the chain. Kagura smiled and took out a similar necklace. The only difference was instead of a red gem hers adorned a green one.
"It's the sister necklace to the one you gave me for my Sixteenth birthday."
Rin's eyes began to water as she pulled Kagura into a fierce hug. "Thank you." Kagura smiled, "What are friends for?"
SWITCH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin held back the tears as she walked towards Kagura. She didn't know how she was going to leave her. "Kagura I'm not going." Kagura looked up from the scroll she was reading and glared at Rin, "yes you are."
"No I'm not!" Rin said anger and fear rising in her voice. Kagura stood and slapped Rin hard across the face. "Yes, you are!" Rin began to cry, "But I don't want to leave you." Kagura pulled her best friend into a warm hug. "I'll follow you as soon as a day has passed." She rubbed Rin's back calming her down. "Don't worry, I will find you."
Rin began to sob harder, "I know we've planned to run away from Naraku as soon as we were strong enough but… What if he finds you, he'll kill you." Kagura tightened her grip on the sobbing girl, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
"I know." Rin said, her tears slowly dying down, "its just I worry."
"I know, that's why you'll always be my best friend. And my sister." She looked Rin in the eye, "You have to go. Now."
"Ok," Rin wiped the tears off her face, "and Kagura I love you."(A.N not like that you pervs, a sisterly love.)
"I love you too, you are and always will be my sis." Now it was Kagura's turn to cry as she watched Rin leave. She prayed to the gods above that she would see her again. She continued to cry hoping Rin would survive the night.
END FLASH BACK
The last thing Rin felt before her mind went blank was the gentle wind blowing across her heated skin.
