A/N: Konichiwa! Here I am with another chapter from Blast From the Past. I have a headache, so here's the chapter. *hides her eyes under a hot and steaming wash cloth*

A Blast From the Past
Chapter 8-Rin's Predicament

It was warm. That was the first thing she was aware of. Warmth and comfort. She stirred restlessly despite the overwhelming desire to sleep, and opened her chocolate brown eyes. For a moment she was confused. Where was Sessho-Maru? This didn't look like their quarters. . . She sat up quickly; clutching her enlarged stomach protectively as everything came flooding back to her.

{Flash}

She turned away from the window and sat down once more, returning to her needle work and awaiting the return of her mate. She needed to speak to him about something. The creak of the doors opening a few minutes later, and a few stealthy footsteps made her smile. It was her mate's game, to sneak up on her, and she was frankly surprised that she'd heard him.

"Hello my dear." Came a voice, but, it wasn't Sessho-Maru's. She gasped, and tried to rise and turn around, but something warm and furry enfolded her, cutting off all sound as she was abruptly whisked away.

{Flash}

Naraku! That was what had happened! How in all the nine hells had that even been possible? He was dead! She had WATCHED him die. InuYasha and Sessho-Maru had killed him! And. . . her protest died off as a nearby door began to creak open. Rin held her breath and looked about for anything she could use as a weapon.

Suddenly, a small bouncing form tore into the room with the force of a gale, bouncing up and down on the bed Rin had been lying on.

"Auntie Rin! Auntie Rin!!" Ryou yelled enthusiastically, unable to restrain his pent-up energy. Much to Rin's confoundment, Kagome soon followed her son through the door and picked him up, managing to keep a hold on the wiggling hanyou child.

"Ka. . . Kagome and Ryou?" Rin said slowly, moving her hands from her stomach to clutch her head. She managed to sit up all the way. Of course Kagome and InuYasha still visited the Sengoku Jidai, so Rin knew all about her little nephew. Kagome smiled wearily and sat down beside the younger woman, letting Ryou wiggle around in her lap.

"Our rooms are connected, but all of the other doors are locked. I have tried my miko powers, but nothing is working. All of the windows and doors are sealed somehow, and I can't break it down. So it looks like we're stuck for the time being." Kagome said softly, heading straight to the point. Rin was dumbstruck, taking a minute to look around. The room itself was richly furnished with lavish tapestries and silken sheets. There was only one window that crackled a menacing black to the touch. It seemed that, as Kagome had said, they were trapped. . .

-Back at the Apartment-

Sessho-Maru waited pensively as his half-brother called for a person he called nine-one-one. Apparently, this was a common procedure in this time period. Sessho-Maru had to wear a concealing spell as well, courtesy of the ever generous younger sibling. It made him sick. The Lord of the West had also had to change into 'modern clothing', which consisted of a very strange button up shirt with something called 'cuffs and collars', with very tight and confining pants InuYasha had identified as 'slacks'. Sessho- Maru's luxurious white hair had turned black and his eyes from amber to blue, plus his moon and stripe markings had been disguised, not to mention his pointed youkai ears. It was. . . so. . . wrong. (I AGREE!)

After a very long and annoying wait Sessho-Maru stiffened as a very loud and noisy sound echoed throughout InuYasha's small place of residence. InuYasha himself scrambled up from his seat beside his brother and towards to door with his typical amount of clumsiness. Of course, InuYasha had waited till after dawn. It wouldn't do to reveal the new moon weakness. The door opened slowly and admitted three of the so called policemen.

The first thing Sessho-Maru noticed was the three people were definitely NOT all human and definitely NOT all men. Each of them was attired in a dark blue uniform, and some of them had rather strange shining badges on their chests and shoulders. They took a glancing look around before one of them stepped forward.

"Mr. InuYasha? My name is Keisuke Watanabe, and these are my two associates, Azumi Fujitaka and Shiro Hirihoto. We're with the special division." The man said, indicating each of his partners as he named them. The alpha himself was a tall and broad shouldered man, and beneath his own spell, he had a pair of brown ears and a small tail; wolf hanyou. Through the other spells, the taiyoukai lord could tell that the Azumi woman was a human, and a miko of some degree. Also, he could see that Hirihoto was a tiger youkai, with flaming orange hair, pointed ears, claws, and black stripes. That in itself was mildly baffling. Why was a full youkai following the leadership of a half-demon? Sessho-Maru would have to figure that out later. In the meantime, he was being introduced. He nodded haughtily under his brother's introduction. He was very good at that.

"So. . . Mr. InuYasha, we received a call this morning that your mate, a certain Kagome Higurashi, was kidnapped?" Keisuke said, reading from a large clipboard. InuYasha nodded in confirmation to the other hanyou's statement. Sessho-Maru would not have to ask about Rin. He would find her with Kagome and his nephew. Not to mention that it would be hard to explain that they came from the Sengoku Jidai, and were just visiting.

"Mr. InuYasha, we have in our files that your mate was a Class 5 miko, is that correct?" The wolf hanyou questioned. Another nod from InuYasha. In this time, a priestess' power was classed by her ability. Apparently, Kagome was the only Class 5 in Japan at this time. Azumi Fujitaka was only Class 2.

"Don't forget that my son, Ryou, is missing as well." InuYasha added before the policeman could speak again. This time is was Shiro Hirihoto who flipped through a clipboard of papers for the file on the child.

"Ryou, age five, 1/3 demon, retains full hanyou attributes?" Shiro said slowly, reading off his lists. InuYasha nodded, his head seemed to be doing a lot of bobbing lately.

"Very well. Mr. InuYasha, Mr. Sessho-Maru, we will search the premises for any signs or evidence and begin our investigation. I must ask you not to interfere." Azumi said softly, as the two brothers felt miko powers begin to probe around the apartment.

Like hell they wouldn't interfere.

A/N: You'll notice that I'm tying in a lot of the fact that the characters SAW Naraku die. This will become important later on, I promise you. Yes, I do know where this story is going by the way. *Listening to Ai no Uta* I really hope you like this story, thanks to the encouragement I'm getting from my reviewers. Spread the word people! Ja mata!
