A/N: Thx to Sessy's Girl (So sorry for stealing your nickname but I have used this on my Xanga for like, 6 months now (btw- my Xanga is Darksamurai089) and I have 3 friends who call me that. We can both use it!!), icyangelbmw (thx! Your so nice!), perrtyLiLbunny (keep reviewing!), and ManonLeChat (I agree totally with you about writers who can't use what they learned in English correctly... girrr.... and I'll try to live up to your expectations.)
Chapter 2- Calling All You Angels
Rin has been in her room for 4 days now. She only lets a servant in to clean and feed her. Is she mad at me?
//That's her problem...//
Then why do I still seem to care?
//You're only fooling yourself; she's HUMAN!!//
But she's MY human, my ward, MINE!
//Now you sound like a child.//
Who exactly ARE you anyway?
//Your conscience. I'm only trying to help you solve your problems.//
Am I going insane?
//Only with love for your ward.//
Love? That's a term I haven't used before... I don't believe I'm "in love" with the child I care for. More like a fatherly duty.
//Whatever floats your boat... but I know I'm right. Soon you will see that yourself, at the time of your greatest peril; and hers.//
When's this going to happen? Are you kidding? Hello? At least I know I HAVE a conscience... But leaving without telling me when? How dishonorable. Now, back to my previous thought train... how to make Rin feel better... hmmm...

It must have been around midnight. I walked over to the window, gazing out at the field of flowers. Tears clouded my vision as I remembered the other day. I really thought he cared about me. I sat back down on my futon.
But then again... he did risk life and limb for me... He's so confusing. His words say one thing and his actions another. I wished he would just make up his mind about me. One things' for sure though; he'd never let anyone hurt me whether he loved me or not. I smiled.
I wasn't going to give up on him because I still believed that somewhere in his strange, twisted mind he really cared about me; whether he realized it or not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Couldn't sleep. Not when such a pressing thought kept working itself into my consciousness. Something would happen to Rin. I couldn't stop it either. I would rather it would be me, all of her pain as well as my own on my shoulders. Her blissful innocence cannot be tainted.
Suddenly I flinched. I sensed a presence; a very powerful presence. A low growl escaped my throat as I glared out the window. There was nothing. Then, as quickly as it arrived, the presence left.
In the morning, I told Jaken I'd take a look around my territory. For once obedient, he enthusiastically told me it was a wonderful idea. It was strange, yes, but easily and gladly overlooked. I left shortly afterwards with Ah-Un.
Soon I couldn't even sense Rin's flowery aura. I was too preoccupied with the thought of losing her to notice the evil presence invading my castle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I decided that I would go out and pick flowers for Sesshoumaru when he returned. Maybe he'd actually decide. Jaken happily agreed to my wanting to go to the field. Very odd, maybe he was sick or something...
My delicate hands found daisies, dandelions, baby's breath, and other flowers that Sesshoumaru's mother had planted long ago. The flowers had been so unattended to that they overgrew and became a field. It was so beautiful.
I heard a scream behind me. I jumped up, flowers forgotten, and turned to see Jaken lying on the ground. A black spirit was materializing beside my guardian's body. It appeared to be a wolf-demon in his human form. He wore different furs, fuzzy boots, and an evil grin. His wild dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail and his purple eyes gazed into mine.
"Silly girl, where is your master? He killed one of my kin not too long ago," the demon asked. I was frozen in fear and couldn't respond. He walked towards me and lifted my chin with his clawed index finger. "Where is Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Again, I wasn't able to respond. I gulped as he flashed his evil grin at me once again. "I'll just have to use his wench as bait, now won't I?" Throwing me over his shoulder, he leapt into the air and flew off. I just barely saw Jaken lift his head up and call out my name.
My fate was in this demon's and Sesshoumaru's hands and all I could do was scream. No one heard me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When I returned to the castle later that night, Jaken ran out to me and told me that Rin was kidnapped. That he was possessed by a young wolf- demon who kidnapped my Rin. I knew I had to save Rin, and fast. But who did this?
Just then, the answer popped into my mind.
"Kouga..." I hissed. He would pay dearly for taking my Rin. "No one lays a hand on the woman I love..." Wait, did I just say that? Even Jaken looked surprised, but then he said had known it all along.
Love? I smiled. The word had a nice ring to it. Love. Hmm... yes. I loved my Rin.
And that only made me even more determined to return her to my arms. To tell her I'm sorry and my true feelings. To tell her that the reason I breathe, the reason I live, is her.
