Rin shuddered as she watched her sister drop to the ground, bathed in her own blood. Ramika looked at where she stood before. She would've received a full blow if Kana hadn't pushed her out of the way. She shook her head, as if trying to deny that the horror had happened. But, after calming down herself a bit, she crawled over to Kana.

"Kana-chan?" She whispered softly, using a title she'd never thought she'd use before.

Rin knelt down beside the limp body of her sister and tears flowed out of her eyes. She wondered at them. She never remembered tearing-even on the night that her family was slaughtered. Why now?

Oino didn't feel as angry or brave and righteous as he did a few moments ago. Looking at the figure on the ground, he suddenly remembered the day that they met. He'd fallen in love with her wit and her ability to contradict him.

"What have I done?" his thoughts were cut short by the Inu-Yasha knocking the door off its hinges.

***

"Oh no. It's that white-haired demon again," the newest member of the band exclaimed. An older and MORE experienced thief started hacking at Inu-Yasha with his sword. Unfortunately, the demon seemed more offended by the comment than the sword and knocked him out cold.

"OK. Hand her over RIGHT now," Inu-Yasha said carelessly, as if the arrows bouncing off of Tetsusaiga's sheath was everyday occurrences. Oino stared and soon everyone else was staring, too.

"Hey, on the count of three, let's gang up on him, OK?" WHAM!

"Hey. That's one smart demon. I thought they were all supposed to be, like, real dumb and clueless." BASH!

Rin finally looked up from all the racket.

"Oh! Kag-chan!" Rin said, jumping up and sprinting towards Kagome. However, Oino's sword blocked her way.

"No," he snarled.

"Yeah. Sure. I'm getting TIRED OF THIS!" With one sweep of the Tetsusaiga, Oino fell to the ground. However, right before that, he untied some herbs and threw them at Rin. No one noticed because they were all too busy cheering on Inu-Yasha. With one last gasp, Oino took hold of a concealed weapon and flown it at Rin, who was bending over her sister. A rock swiftly met the target and forced it the other way.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!"

Jaken hurried over, trying to recompensate himself in Sesshoumaru's eyes be being tender and caring to the human girl.

"Are you OK, Rin?"

"P-Please, Jaken. Help me with my sister," Rin begged, swinging her sister's right arm over her shoulder, forgetting entirely about Jaken's height.

"Rin, are you OK?" Sesshoumaru asked quietly. Rin, upon hearing this, ran straight for Sesshoumaru's comforting arms, assuming that Jaken was holding up her sister. Um…unfortunately, Jaken is actually pancaked under the wait of Rin's sister.

"Oh. Rin was so scared," Rin cried into Sesshoumaru's cloth. He patted her comfortingly while looking at the woman she had just called her 'sister.'
