Chapter 4

Kagome had been running for a while now. She wasn't sure where she was going, but she was going somewhere. If it wasn't for the uneasy feeling in her stomach, she would have stopped a long time ago.

*I have to keep running! What if that demon or whatever that was is still following me? Is it even following me?* Kagome stopped and looked behind her. She stood silent, listening for any sound that may indicate that someone was following her. But she heard nothing.

" I guess I've been running from nothing then. And it's because of that, that I'm more lost than I was before." Kagome looked around at her surroundings, she couldn't recognize anything. * I don't even think Inuyasha will try to come after me.* Kagome quickly lost all hope of actually being found.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping Inuyasha would hear her and come to rescue her. " Help me, Inuyasha!"

~~~~*BACK AT THE INUYASHA CAMPSITE*~~~~

"How is he?" asked Miroku, bringing a cup of water to Sango.

"Kagome must have been pretty mad at him. Normally, Inuyasha would have awoken by now." Sango took the cup of water Miroku had offered her. "Thank you, houshi-sama."

"Don't mention it." Miroku said, sitting next to Sango. Miroku saw that this could be the perfect chance to 'feel up' Sango, so he didn't waste time. "I think you might be right-" "HENTAI!!" Sango yelled while hitting Miroku as hard as she could. " How dare you say that as well as feeling me up. You.you HENTAI!"

Miroku tried to sit up, only to realize the look Sango gave to him. " What did I say wrong?"

"Oh, I don't know," Sango started sarcastically. " maybe the part of me being just 'ripe'!"

" I didn't say 'ripe'! I said 'right'!"

"Oh..well you still tried to feel me up!"

Miroku didn't even try to argue with Sango any more, he just sat up and sat against a nearby tree. Sango stormed to the other side of the campsite and sat down.

"Don't even think about coming over here!" Sango warned Miroku.

"Don't worry I won't." Miroku replied. " I'll just stay over here."

Sango shot Miroku a death glare. "Good!"

So they just sat there like that, ignoring each other.

*Can't they ever get along?* Inuyasha thought, as he heard the entire thing. * The only problem is that I didn't hear Kagome once during that.* Inuyasha sat up.

" Oh Inuyasha, you're up." Sango quickly said. "We didn't wake you did we?"

"No, but I heard the whole damn argument!" Inuyasha snapped. "And." Just as Inuyasha started to say something, he heard the resounding echo of Kagome's cries. "Kagome!"

"What?" Miroku asked.

"Kagome, where is she?"

"Oh.she went into the forest right after she 'sat' you." Sango replied.

"How long ago?"

"Well, I guess about an hour." Sango said.

"Why do you ask, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked with a very curious look.

"Kagome." Inuyasha whispered. * Why did you go in the forest alone? You should have went with Sango or Miroku.* Inuyasha took off immediately in the direction of Kagome's cries. * Damn her. She shouldn't have went alone.* Inuyasha left without answering Miroku's question and, also, leaving Miroku and Sango in a confused silence.

Sango finally spoke. "What the hell just happened, houshi-sama?"

"I have no clue, Lady Sango." Miroku replied.

"Well..why don't we go back to what we were doing before?"

"Whatever you say Lady Sango."

"Good." Sango said as she sat down, her back against a tree. Miroku sat across from her, his back against another tree. And they both just stared at each other, not wanting to say anything.

****************************

Rin was still lying on the ground, where Tegaisaru had left her, but now the lite blue glow had faded. Rin was helpless to any attack, not to mention unconscious, but Rin could still think just like a normal, conscious human could.

*Whatever spell Tegaisaru put on me, seems to have made no effect. I feel the same-* That's when Rin felt a sharp pain enter her entire body. She wanted to cry and scream but couldn't, she wanted to forget about the pain but the pain wouldn't let her.

*What's happening to me?* Rin thought in pain. *This has got to be a dream. I want to wake up!* She tried to wake up, wake up from this horrible dream with her lord next to her. But she knew that was impossible. The pain was too real for it to be a dream.

To Rin's surprise, the pain suddenly stopped. *It's gone?* Rin could not think any longer. Instead, she fell asleep. A peaceful, painless sleep.

*****************************

Inuyasha sensed a demon nearby as well as Kagome's scent.

*Kagome!* Inuyasha's heart sped up as he entered a clearing in the forest and a young woman, no older than 17, was lying on the ground. She had dark black hair and was very slim.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran toward the young girl, ignoring her scent completely. "Kagome! I'm here." Inuyasha turned the young woman over, only to find out that it wasn't Kagome. " You're.you're not Kagome." He looked at the peaceful expression on the young woman's sleeping face. " I don't know why the hell you decided to sleep out here." Inuyasha picked up the sleeping woman and ran toward Kagome's scent. * Kagome, I'm coming.*

******************************

Sesshoumaru had a strong lock on Rin's scent, but to his surprise, it was changing.

*How can it be changing?* Sesshoumaru thought. * If someone is hurting you, I swear I'll kill them; long and painful!* Sesshoumaru ran faster at that thought. * I'll kill them!*

Sesshoumaru entered the clearing where Rin scent was coming from, but didn't see Rin. Sesshoumaru went into a panic. * Rin! Where are you? Am I too late?* That's when Sesshoumaru picked up another scent.

"Inuyasha!" Sesshoumaru growled and ran off in the direction of Inuyasha's scent.

********************************

Inuyasha was getting closer to Kagome. He ran as fast as he could but made sure he wouldn't lose his grip on the sleeping girl in his arms. * Kagome please be okay.*

Inuyasha ran as far as he could but couldn't continue. He had ran to a waterfall with no possible way around it. * Oh crap! Now what am I suppose to do?* Inuyasha heard the soft sobs over the sound of the waterfall. * Could that be Kagome?* Inuyasha walked toward the direction of where the sobs were coming from.

He hadn't walked far before he found Kagome crying. She had her knees to her chest and her head down in her knees, crying.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said with a happy tone in his voice.

Kagome raised her head from her knees only to look up at bright, beautiful, amber eyes. "Inuyasha." Kagome whispered with a happy expression on her face but it was dropped sooner than expected as her eyes locked on the woman sleeping in Inuyasha's arms. "Who's that?"

"I don't know." Inuyasha said looking down at the girl in his arms. " I found her in a clearing in the forest sleeping like this."

"So you decided to play hero?" Kagome asked, anger flowing to her face.

"Well I couldn't leave her there, she could have been killed by a damn demon!"

"So you just picked her up and walked away?"

"I THOUGHT SHE WAS YOU!" Inuyasha yelled.

A surprised look came on Kagome's face. "You were looking for me?"

"Yes." Inuyasha snapped.

"After what I did? You still came looking?" Kagome already knew his answer: " Miroku and Sango were worried about you, so they sent me to come after you." Kagome started to get angry at this.

"Yeah, I heard your cries for me, so I came." Inuyasha said in a sensitive tone.

"." Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"A demon is coming!" Inuyasha said with a shocked look on his face. " Kagome stay down."

"Okay." Kagome replied as she did what he said.

"Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha whispered.

Sesshoumaru showed up right across from Inuyasha. "Get away from her or I'll KILL you!" Sesshoumaru said.

"What are you talking about you bastard?" Inuyasha looked at Sesshoumaru with a gazed look.

"Inuyasha.you have something that belongs to me." Sesshoumaru's eyes traveled to the woman in Inuyasha's arms but Inuyasha thought Sesshoumaru meant Tegsaiga.

"Forget it Sesshoumaru, you're not getting Tegsaiga." Inuyasha hissed.

"I'm not talking about the sword you fool. I'm talking about the girl in your arms." Sesshoumaru pointed at the girl.

Inuyasha was very confused. "You want the girl?"

"I believe I just said that you ass." Sesshoumaru was starting to lose his patience.

"What do you want with her?" Inuyasha asked.

"I should be asking you that Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru snapped.

"What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha's anger was rising.

"Taking a young child. Shame on you Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru said.

"WHAT? I didn't do anything to her!" Inuyasha had a hint of anger behind his words. "I found her sleeping in a forest clearing! If I hadn't come along, she'd probably be dead!"

Inuyasha's words shocked Sesshoumaru. "You made sure she was safe?" Sesshoumaru held a certain tone of softness to his words. As well as the worried expression on his face.

"Yes I did." Inuyasha said looking at Sesshoumaru strangely.

"Well then thank you." Sesshoumaru said in his normal voice, but it had a little sincerity to it. "...If you need a favor just ask me." Sesshoumaru walked over to Inuyasha and took the girl from his arms.

"Sure..but just remember it when the time comes." Inuyasha said watching Sesshoumaru walk away with the girl.

"Don't worry, I will." Sesshoumaru ran off into the forest.

"Well that was weird." Kagome said after having watched the entire scene before her very eyes. "If I wasn't here, I wouldn't have believed it."

*I wonder why that girl was so important to him?* Inuyasha thought. "Come on Kagome, let's get back to the campsite. When I left Miroku and Sango were at each others throats."

"Okay." Kagome was still shocked at Sesshoumaru's strange behavior. Kagome climbed on Inuyasha's back. "Ready?" Inuyasha then ran off into the forest, opposite of Sesshoumaru.

******************************

Sesshoumaru didn't have to run long before he heard someone calling for Rin. "Jaken." Sesshoumaru growled now remembering that Jaken was supposed to watch Rin.

Sesshoumaru stopped right in front of a river and saw Jaken walking up the bank.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken exclaimed running toward Sesshoumaru but stopped just out of Sesshoumaru's reach. Jaken saw his lord's facial expression and knew that Sesshoumaru was mad. "What is it my lord?"

"You were supposed to watch Rin." Sesshoumaru's anger rising. "You're lucky that my half-breed bastard of a brother found her."

"Your brother found Rin?"

"Yes." Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin and noticed that she wasn't the same as before. Her scent had a hint of demon to it. *What is this new change in her scent? Not to mention, she looks older.* "He protected Rin and because of that, I owe him a favor." Sesshoumaru's anger sub-sided as he thought of losing Rin.

"A favor, my lord?"

"Yes, a favor." Sesshoumaru cut off as he felt Rin move in his arms. He gently sat on the ground, his back against a tree, with Rin still in his arms.

Rin's eyes opened slightly. She tried to focus her vision but it was very hard. Rin finally focused her eyes on Sesshoumaru's face. "Sess.Sesshoumaru- sama?"

Sesshoumaru noticed how Rin's voice sounded more feminine, more mature, than it use to. "Yes Rin?" He looked into her eyes and saw a hint of demon in them.

"Where am I?" Rin spoke softly, trying to sit up.

"You're with me and Jaken at the river." Sesshoumaru helped Rin sit up, he then saw that she was indeed older and both Jaken and Rin saw it too.

"What happened to me?" Rin cried looking down at her fully developed body. "Why am I like this?" She asked Sesshoumaru, who answered bluntly. "I don't know Rin."

Sesshoumaru couldn't tear his eyes off of Rin. * Why am I drawn to her?* Sesshoumaru thought.

Jaken saw the tiny bit of demon in her and whispered to his lord, "Lord Sesshoumaru, why does she bear the scent of a demon?" Jaken waited for a reply, but didn't get one. *Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't know either?*

Rin sat silently for a moment, racking her brain, trying to remember. Then it all came back to her: the pain, the three requirements, and Tegaisaru. "I can remember now."

"What happened Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked putting his hands on her shoulders. "Tell me. Did anyone try to hurt you or hurt you in anyway?" Sesshoumaru's anger was, again, rising.

"No.yes.maybe." Was all Rin could say at the moment.

"Tell me what happened." Sesshoumaru said in a softer voice. "Please Rin, tell me."

"Okay." Rin looked up into Sesshoumaru's eyes. "There was this spellcaster by the name of Tegaisaru."

Inuyasha: Well THAT was fun.

Miroku: I wonder what'll happen next...but then again I already know.^_^!

Inuyasha: Miroku, no teasing the readers!

Rose: Yeah Miroku, no teasing the readers they'll throw lemons at me and I really don't want lemons thrown at me.

Miroku: Ok...just stop hugging me!(tries to get out of my hold)

Rose: Not going to happen.

Inuyasha: I'm just glad it's not me.

Rose: Does Inuyasha feel left out?

Inuyasha: No, no I'm fine. ^.^`(sweatdrop)

Rose: Good..my Miroku.

Miroku: Inuyasha help me.(Inuyasha laughing evilly in the backround)
