Hi, it's darkmoon0829 saying enjoy. This chapter will explain some things
about Rin's dream in the first chapter. Also the plot kicks off.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters. If I did I would
make Sessy my own personal fanboy. ^_^.
Anyway now on with the story!!
Chapter 3: More Questions Then Answers
Sesshouamru looked over at the sleeping form of Rin as she slept next to Ah Un. She had one small and wrapped up in the mane of hair that came down Ah's neck. Her face was blank as she slept. Vacant of the huge smile that usually dominated her face.
After running around all day Rin had finally gone to sleep.
'She looks almost cute like that.' Sesshoumaru thought. Rin mouth opened and she started to mumble in her sleep. Sesshoumaru inclined his head to listen better. What was she dreaming this time.
***
Rin walked down the well-worn path in the forest.
She had a small bundle of sticks strapped to her back; she had spent the last hour gathering them and was on her way home.
I remember this. This is when Mom, Dad and my brother died, but why am I seeing this.
Rin turned her head and looked up at the sunset as her feet automatically took her down the path. Rin stopped walking. A chill was making its way down her spine. Something was wrong. She started to run the rest of the way home.
I remember now. I knew something was wrong, but still. Why am I here? What's the point of me being hear just to see them all die again.
Rin ran inside her house never slowing down. Where was everyone?
"Mom, Dad, Brother, where are you?"
Rin stepped out of the house when she heard it. Screaming. It was coming from down the road. Rin dropped the sticks and went into the woods on the side of the road making sure she was hidden. There they were, a ring of bandits was circling her parents and brother. Their wrists had been bound and they seemed to be begging for the bandits to spare them.
Rin's eyes widened in terror as the leader took out his sword, and stabbed it right threw her father's chest. Rin couldn't move. Her voice was frozen with fear even though she wanted to scream.
Rin could hear her mother scream out.
Rin looked up as her mother met the same fate as her father. Rin felt someone grab her and started shaking, thinking it was the bandits. She looked up into her brother's face as he held her, trying to keep her safe.
The bandits all laughed and grabbed him by the back of his worn shirt. He was dragged over to the leader. The leader looked at him and sneering said, "You had you choice to join us,
"but you refused. Now you will die."
"I don't care if I died, but I would join you." He screamed at the leader his eyes bright with tears of fear. He knew what was coming, but he had to save Rin.
He looked back at her and said,
"Rin listen to me, run and don't look back. They may have killed other and father, but I won't let them kill yo."
He stopped as the leader threw his sword out. Through her brother's neck.
Rin couldn't move. She stood up just looking at the bodies of her slain family. Two strong arms grabbed her from behind. She wanted to run, but a calmness she had never known had washed over her. This was her death, but she didn't want to die.
I
She wanted to live. She would live.
I
Rin felt something break inside her, like some hidden barrier had fallen.
She was filled with light.
It burst from her, spreading over the ground towards the bandits. They yelled in fear and ran from the light emanating from her body. The light vanished and Rin fell foreword onto the ground, unconscious.
***
Sesshoumaru continued to stare at Rin long after she had quieted from her dream. She was crying again, he could smell it. What did this mean? Maybe it was time to pay his half-brother and his wench a visit.
***
"Kagome wake up already."
"Inuyasha, I just had the strangest dream." Kagome looked puzzled and when she opened her eyes she just stared at her hands. "I think it was about Rin."
"That human that follows Sesshoumaru around, what was it about." Inuyasha tilted his head slightly and looked at Kagome.
"Well I think it was a memory, but I could hear her talking even though the memory of her wasn't speaking. It was awful though. I saw how Rin's family was killed. They were all murdered in cold blood by bandits. Only because her brother wouldn't join up with them.
"The strangest thing was at the end of the dream though. I can't really remember it all that clearly, but it seemed like Rin was glowing.
"Glowing?" Miroku questioned. He and the rest of the group had wandered over when Kagome had started to tell what the dream was about.
Kagome looked at him, "Yes, but it seemed to be like the glow that comes of my sacred arrows. It was that same type of power, I'm sure of it. Maybe Rin is a priestess."
Everyone just looked at her. Suddenly the wind shifted and clouds began to move along the sky.
"Run." Inuyasha said, "It's Sesshoumaru."
***
Sesshoumaru looked down at hanyou brother from the back of Ah and Un. He had left Rin with Jaken while he went to find the answers to his questions regarding what Rin had said about the light when she was asleep. He hated this. Going to his stupid, dirty, hanyou brother for information. What next. Surrendering the West land s to him.
"Inuyasha I have come for information, regarding my ward, Rin."
***
Rin looked over at Jaken. She was so bored. Why had her Lord Sesshoumaru left so early that morning?
'Oh well,' Rin thought, 'I'll just have to find something to do.
"Jaken?"
"What?"
"Can Rin go fishing, Rin thinks there is a stream that way."
"Very well, just don't lollygag."
Rin ran off to the stream. She was hoping to get some fish for her supplies so she wouldn't need to waste time with it later when her Lord Sesshoumaru returned.
A dark mist started to appear in front of Rin. She continued to walk, but the mist started to rise. Slowly it reached Rin's head just as she reached to river. She started to cough violently as the mist entered her lungs. She started to feel faint and she fell to the ground. The poison was getting worse, causing Rin to lose consciousness.
Before Rin's eyes closed she saw something white standing in front of her, reaching out its hands for her.
'What is that? Lord Sesshoumaru help me!' These were Rin's last thoughts as the Miasma finally rendered her unconscious.
***
Anyway, What do you think? Also this is probably my longest chapter. Let's hope I can keep it this long next time too. Let me know what you think, and I would like only constructive criticism please. Until next time. ^_^
Anyway now on with the story!!
