A Torn Heart

Chapter Two

"Inuyasha!" Shippo screams. "Go find Kagome! Go find her! Find her...find her...!"

"Ahh! Shut up you little brat!" Inuyasha retorts back.

"You know Inuyasha, you really should go find her," Miroku states. "She hasn't been back for two days already. She couldn't have gone back home because we'll leagues away from the well. She really could be anywhere. Aren't you worried?"

'Of course I'm worried you retard!' Inuyasha wanted to that shout out loud but he didn't. Kikyo is still somewhere nearby with Sango. Instead, he just glares and grunts. With a defeated look on his face, Miroku gets up, and leads a complaining Shippo away. 'Where are you Kagome?' Inuyasha thinks. 'I am really worried about you. You can't just disappear like this. Now that Kikyo is here, things are a lot more complicated.

'I'm in Sesshomaru's castle? Why would he of all people want to kidnap me? He was never interested in finding the jewel shards before.' Kagome thinks all of this to herself as Rin and Jaken leads her through the many halls of the castle.

"I can't believe Lord Sesshomaru left me with this wretched little girl again! Plus, now there are two humans to take care of." Jaken ends this with a thread of incoherent mumbling. Rin just grins and turns to Kagome.

"Poor Jaken. Oh well, it's most unfortunate that Lord Sesshomaru had to go out today. He didn't tell me where he was going, but I can tell that it must be something important. He didn't even tell me that he was bringing you in Kagome. What a great surprise! Finally there's someone to play with me! Sesshomaru tells Jaken to, but Jaken never wants to. What do you want to do first?"

Kagome, still very dazed and confused, says, "Whatever you want Rin." Obviously this was the right answer because as soon as Rin hears this, she jumps up and down and lets out high-pitched squeals of excitement. She quickly leads Kagome down many halls until they come to a set of double doors covered with pictures clearly drawn by a small child.

"Well, this is my room! I think we should play dolls first. Huh, Kagome?" Rin opens the door and leads Kagome inside. Kagome steps inside and is immediately taken aback by all the bright happy pastel colors. This room was the complete opposite of what the rest of the castle looks like. The other rooms all look and feel like dungeons. The walls are made of dark, gray stone, with concrete floors. Every now and then you would come upon a speck of green or red, but it was pretty much gray. (A/N: I don't know if this is how Sesshy's castle is like, but work with me 'k?) Rin's room though, was like being inside a huge wad of cotton candy. The walls and floor were made of a material so soft and fragile that it could have been mistaken as a cloud. Yet, it was also very strong. The color of her whole room was a light pastelly pink. There was a huge canopy bead in one corner that appeared to be made of the same material as the ground and walls, and buckets of toys and games littered the many shelves there. (A/N: Again, I don't know if this is Rin's room, but ...yeah. Also it might seem a bit modern, but ...yeah.) Kagome's eyes have a "deer in headlights" look to them, and they stay that way until Jaken clears his throat and makes a comment.

"I hate this room! I'm going to wait outside." He turned around, and marched back out of the room.

"This...this is y-your room?" Kagome sputters out.

Rin nods aggressively. "Yup! I love this room, don't you? Lord Sesshomaru made it especially for me after I came to stay with him. Since I'm traveling with him, he wanted the time for when we are home to be extra nice for me. I love it so much! This is definitely the best room in the entire castle!"

"I would definitely say so." Kagome lets her eyes wonder around the room. 'Sesshomaru did this for Rin? A human that he so despises? Wow. That is really hard to believe. Maybe there's a soft side to Sesshomaru after all.'

By that time, Rin has already set up the dolls. "Wanna play now?" Kagome takes one more full look at the wondrous room and nods.

The usually patient Sesshomaru is not so patient anymore. 'If he doesn't show up in the next five minute--' His thought is cut short though because at that very moment, Naraku shows up with Kagura on her big flying feather.

"I'm sorry my Lord Sesshomaru. Have I kept you waiting long?" Naraku asks with a crooked smile. Sesshomaru only grunts. "Well, I am truly sorry. Now, what did you call me here for?" Naraku's eyes widen with anticipation as he asks this.

"I'm only here to inform you that I have the girl in my possession already. I need to know where you will be so I can get her to you", Sesshomaru replies.

Naraku's lips curl at the news. "Excellent. Well, I'll be at Winter Mountain, awaiting your arrival." (A/N: WINTER MOUNTAIN? What was I thinking? Well, A bottle of Ice Mountain Spring Water was on my desk as I wrote this so I thought...Ice Mountain?...no...Spring Mountain?...no... then it's gotta be WINTER MOUNTAIN!!! Yeah, I'm kinda weird like that. Anyways, on with the story!)Without any formal farewells, Naraku and Kagure fly off, leaving Sesshomaru glaring after them. 'Winter Mountain (^_^) then. Well. Inuyasha, watch out! Tetsaiga will be mine!

"Inuyasha?" It was night time and Inuyasha hasn't moved at all since that morning. Kikyo was getting worried so she goes to check on him. "Inuyasha, are you all right?"

"Kikyo", Inuyasha whispers and turns around. "Now that you're here, how can I not be okay?"

"Oh Inuyasha, don't be stupid. I can sense something's troubling you." Kikyo plops down on the grass next to him. "Look," she begins, "I sorry about just barging in on your life again after everything that's happened. I truly did miss you very much! Enough for me to start stalking you even! I didn't ever plan on showing myself because I know that would pretty much ruin your new life. I can see that there's something between you and Kagome. And I would hate to be the one to ruin whatever it is that you have! Look, what happened happened. My feelings about you are still the same, but if yours aren't, then it's okay. I just don't want to be the cause of any great misery. I worried about Kagome. So... if I have to... I'll--"

"NO!" Inuyasha suddenly leaps up and embraces Kikyo. "I know what you're about to say, and you can't say it. You can't leave. No, not after all this. You have to stay... I want you to stay." Inuyasha loosens up and sees that there are tears in her eyes.

"But Kagome... I'm so worried", Kikyo sputters out.

"Don't worry. I'll find her. Whatever it takes, I'll find her... for you." With that, he hugs her again, and this time, Kikyo wraps her arms around him too.

"Wow Kagome! You look beautiful!" Rin squeals. After playing dolls, Rin and Kagome decided to dress up. The costumes they're wearing now were angel costumes. Kagome's hair is up, and she is wearing a long white embroidered robe. Golden chains act as her belt, and two beautiful feathered wings are on her back. With all her makeup on, she practically glows. "You're just like a real angel!"

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door, and Sesshomaru's voice comes through. "Rin? Are you in there?"

"Oh you're back! Come in and see us!" Rin rushes over to open the door.

'Oh no!' thinks Kagome, 'Not now! Not with me looking like this!'

~

Sesshomaru gets home form his "meeting" and the first thing on his mind is to see Kagome and make sure she's still here. If she escaped, then his whole plan will fail. Before he left, he made sure that Rin would be with Kagome at all times, so he goes to Rin's room to look for her first. He walks the many twists and turns in his castle and finally comes upon the picture-covered doors of Rin's room. He knocks and asks, "Rin, are you in there?"

"Oh you're back! Come in and see us!" Rin's voice carries through the door. Slowly the door opens and he goes inside.

The first thing he sees is Rin in a white skirt and a halo on her head. Sesshomaru smiles at that. As his eyes travel farther though, he inhales sharply as he sees the most beautiful person behind him. The woman in front of him had on the most beautiful white dress, with an even more beautiful face. Her hair's all up, and the glitter on her face shown brightly. Her skin is flawless, and it glows with a supernatural light. Her eyes though,...her beautiful round eyes remind him of someone. Wait no! It couldn't be...could it? Could it be---

"Kagome?" Sesshomaru whispers breathlessly. He was openly staring at her now.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome also whispers as she blushes, feeling his gaze upon her. For some reason though, she can't take her eyes off him either. Those beautiful golden eyes of his seems to have gotten her in a trance.

Rin is now sitting on the ground, watching this staring contest with a mischievous grin spreading on her face.

A/N: Whatcha think????? Yes, this Ch was kinda weird... with the whole Winter Mountain deal. Then I thought, wait! Why can't Sesshy just bring kagome to Naraku where he went to meet him at that time? Why bother going all the way to WINTER MOUNTAIN????? Man, I'm so stupid! Oh well, what's done is done. REVIEW and wait for the next CH!!
