Rin: Hey guys! I'm getting better at updating for you see I am trying to update a few chapters before I go on a long 5 day trip to Virginia! Yes a 5- DAY TRIP! So you will have to wait for a chapter of whatever story I am on until I come back! Sorry!!!
Yasha: Yes and Rin's going with her friends and not me. I'm going to be left here all alone. (Starts to cry)
Rin: (Hugs Yasha) I'm not leaving you! You're my other half! You have to come with me!
Yasha: (Cheers up quickly) Yeah! I go pack!
Rin: (Rolls her eyes) We're not leaving for a week.
Yasha: (Doesn't hear)
Rin: Oh well here's the next chapter of Forever Together!

Chapter 6: Feelings Across Time
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and reached back in for Rin and Kagome. Pulling them both up easily Inuyasha turned to Kagome a worried expression etched across his face.
"How do you think Sesshomaru's faring?"
Kagome shrugged and ran a hand through her hair, "I don't know, really. From what I've heard and experienced Inu mates can feel the others pain, happiness, sorrow, really every thing the other feels. I can only imagine how much harder it must be when one mates 500 years in the future."
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah well standing around won't heal Rin right?"
"Right! Come on we need to get her to a hospital right away."
Kagome walked quickly over to the shrines doors and held them open for Inuyasha to walk through with Rin in his arms. They stepped out into the blazing hot sun. Bearing down on top their heads the trio made their way to the main house. Kagome again held the door open and then stepped in beside Inuyasha.
"Mom?" Kagome called into the silence of the house. "Anyone home?"
A loud crash upstairs was followed by a loud, "Kagome!!!"
Bracing herself wouldn't have helped as Kagome was suddenly hit by an excited teenage boy.
"Souta! I could swear you're acting like you're eight again." Kagome exclaimed lying on the floor.
"I know but I haven't seen you in years!" Souta cried hugging his older sister.
"I know and that's my own fault I shouldn't have done that."
Souta released his death grip on his sister and held out his hand for Kagome to take. "Hey Inuyasha! Who's this?"
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and her brother, "This is Rin she's terribly injured and we need to get to the hospital right away."
Souta rubbed his chin for a second, and then looked up, "We can take my car, mom's at work and won't be back until late. Come on!"
He turned around and grabbed a set of keys off a rack, and proceeded to head for the door. Realizing that Kagome and Inuyasha were not behind him he turned, "I'm 18, Kagome I can drive you know."
Kagome stood stunned, her little brother was all grown up, a car, home by himself; he was no longer that annoying eight-year-old brat she once knew. Inuyasha stood next to Kagome, looked at her and then walked to the door and Souta.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
"What we need to get Rin medical attention right? Then we need to leave now. I don't want my brother killing me if you don't mind." Inuyasha simply stated as he walked out the front door.
Kagome dropped her jaw but then sadly shook her head, now she was the one acting dumb. Walking past her brother Kagome got into the passenger seat as Inuyasha sat in the back with Rin. Souta hopped into the drivers seat, and said excited, "Buckle your seat belts ladies and gentlemen, we are leaving!"
Kagome rolled her eyes; this was going to be one long day.
~ ^_^ ~
Sesshomaru paced the area in front of the well; already grass was turning brown from where he continuously walked. It had only been a few hours and already he was beginning to feel that tight squeeze on his heart. When demons take a mate they can never stand to be far from them. Their chests would tighten painfully and it would get hard for them to breathe. They would eventually go crazy. Sesshomaru had seen first hand how crazy some demons go. That was one of the reasons why Sesshomaru's father had to go and take another mate because after his mate passed away he was starting to crazy.
Growling lowly Sesshomaru stopped for the first time in hours pacing in front of the well. Where was his pathetic half brother and his report about Rin? Why hadn't he returned yet? Had something gone wrong with Rin and that kept him away?
No, Sesshomaru would have felt it by now if something had. Mates could feel the pain of each other, another side effect of mating. Continuing his pacing Sesshomaru gazed up at the sky. The clear blue void reached from horizon to horizon, not a puffy white cloud in sight. The sun was sitting low in the sky already it was almost sunset.
What keeps Inuyasha? Sesshomaru pondered.
A bird chirped from a nearby tree, and on the other side of the field another chirp was heard. Suddenly a bird flew from one tree and towards the other. Sesshomaru watched them closely, when suddenly not one but two birds flew from the other tree and into the sky side by side.
Sesshomaru looked away from the bird pair. Mates those two birds were. So easy was it for one of them to call and fly to the other. Not like Sesshomaru and Rin now. They were in different times, far away from each other. Sesshomaru couldn't just call and Rin would come running.
Suddenly darkness filled the sky, purple clouds rolled in, and thunder boomed from up above. Lightning cracked down all around Sesshomaru missing him by inches. What happened to the clear sky? Storms don't roll in this fast unless forced by magic.
Sesshomaru braced himself and quickly looked around him for the enemy, but none came. He couldn't sense anyone, or anything. A thick fog covered the ground making it so that Sesshomaru could see nothing below his chest. Cursing silently Sesshomaru pulled out his sword preparing for an unseen battle.
"Who's there"! He choked out; the purple fog was clogging his throat.
No answer.
Growling, Sesshomaru swung the sword out around him. It cut through the thick fog but more soon replaced it. Poison flowed through his veins and appeared on the tips of his sharp claws. Sesshomaru made a swipe at the fog once more; the same happened it made no difference.
All of a sudden the pain in his heart intensified and Sesshomaru fell to the purple ground, clutching his chest. But nothing would ease the pain, not the many intakes of air, or squeezes and pushes against his chest. He couldn't breath; he was choking on the pain and the fog surrounding him. Dizziness threatened to take over his mind but Sesshomaru pushed back. Using his sword Sesshomaru pushed himself up to a standing position. Sweat beads appeared on his forehead, slowly dripping down his face.
Wave after wave of pain hit his heart, ramming, tearing at his very inside. Struggling to breath Sesshomaru waited for the pain to pass. A faint cry filled his sensitive ears. Pulling his head up Sesshomaru glanced around. So he wasn't alone. The cry came again, this time more distinct. Sesshomaru knew that cry, that cry of a young child's.
There, a girl in red with dark brown hair sat crying, her back towards him. Slowly Sesshomaru made his way towards the weeping girl. He used the sword as a crutch as he tried to ignore the pain that still rammed against his heart.
"Rin?" Sesshomaru choked out again. He stumbled closer to the girl that he swore was Rin. But why was she a child and not a young woman?
"Rin? Please answer me." Sesshomaru commanded. The closer to the girl he got the more he was able to breath though the pain still stabbed inside. She seemed to be sitting a clearing of the purple fog. It wasn't touching her, but hung above and around her in a tight circle. Sesshomaru staggered into the clearing and closer to the girl.
"Rin? Why are you crying?"
The crying girl turned around her face stained with tears. It was Rin but as a young child. Younger then when he first took her in. She looked no older then four or five. "Mommy, Daddy, they gone."
Sesshomaru stood stunned her voice was so young and innocent. Her words added more pain to his heart. Slipping down onto the ground Sesshomaru breathed heavily beside the young Rin. "What happened to them Rin?"
Rin shook her head, the tears coming faster now. "Rin not know. Rin not remember anything. Rin not know where Rin is. Rin not know anything!"
Sesshomarus pain stabbing in his heart intensified as Rin said those last words. Gripping tightly onto his shirt he ached to grab his own heart and make the pain disappear. "What do you mean Rin?"
He looked up and his golden eyes widened in shock. Rin was no longer there. The fog was starting to move into the clearing. Struggling to stand once more Sesshomaru quickly looked around for the young Rin. It was unsafe here, as he had seen it thus far. She shouldn't be running around here alone, when she doesn't know anything about herself or her parents. She looked so young, so innocent.
"Rin! Come here! I'll find a way out of here for both of us!" Sesshomaru called into the thick fog, but no answer came.
Young laughter suddenly sounded behind Sesshomaru. Ripping around Sesshomaru saw a Rin he knew. Her bright smile lit her face, and her always- messy hair flew in the wind as she ran in an imaginary field. Her orange- checkered kimono stood out among the purple fog.
"Rin!" Sesshomaru called.
She spun around at his call the smile widened, "Sesshomaru-sama!"
Sesshomaru reached out a hand for Rin as she ran towards him her arms wide and open. But no hug or touch ever came. The young Rin disappeared before his eyes that smile still pasted on her face.
"No...no...please Rin..." Sesshomaru pleaded his hand still outstretched. Dropping his head in defeat Sesshomaru sunk to the ground.
A scream filled the air and a new pain shot into his heart. Sesshomaru cried out as his heart felt like it was being torn apart. His eyes glazed over, and blackness filled his vision, but he would not give in. He had to find Rin and bring her out of here. He had to! What if she was alone in some clearing, crying because her heart ached for him as well?
His breaths came short but Sesshomaru was able to cry out, "Rin! Where are you?"
A soft angelic voice filled his head, "Sesshomaru-sama, please...save me.... I'm so lost. I'm cold Sesshomaru...I can't see anything...please save me!"
"Rin!" Sesshomaru shouted his golden eyes darting around for the source of the voice.
"Save me Sesshomaru! Save me!" It came again as clear as a bell.
"Where are you Rin!" Sesshomaru called again.
"I'm lost, I can't remember anything Sesshomaru, please save me."
Sesshomaru collapsed as the pain finally took control of his heart. Blackness filled his vision once again, the darkness felt so inviting that he gave in. An image of Rin filled the darkness, her smile heavenly and full of life; her brown eyes holding maturity and love. Holding out a hand Rin slowly started to disappear.
"Save me my Sesshomaru. Please..." Her voice bringing warmth to his cold body.
"Where-are-you...my Rin..." Sesshomaru whispered losing conscious.
Her smiling face and warm eyes was the last thing Sesshomaru saw before falling into the darkness.
Rin...

Kagome sat still in a metal chair filling out papers need from Rin at the hospital. Inuyasha had gone with Rin and the doctors, as Souta stayed with Kagome watching her write.
"Do you think she'll be okay Kagome?" He asked worried.
Kagome stopped writing and slowly raised her head. "I'm not sure Souta. She's been in this coma for almost three days now. I don't know what happened to her. I can only wait for what the doctors say and hopefully I can maybe do something. But I don't know what to do."
Souta placed a comforting arm around his older sister. "Hey Kagome it'll be okay. Rin must be a strong girl for you to know her, right?"
"Yeah she is, besides she has to be if she puts up Inuyasha's older brother. Who may I remind you is a complete jerk, emotionless full-blooded demon." Kagome chuckled at her description of Sesshomaru. "But obviously he has a heart to care so much for Rin."
"Then why is he not here? If he loves her so much why is he not here to comfort her when she awakes?" Souta asked confused.
"Well you see Souta the well will only let those with human blood through. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother, is a full-blooded demon. He can't get through the well. Believe me if he could he would be here right now." Kagome said, sadness lacing her words.
"Yeah so because Inuyasha is half human means he can go through the well freely, right?" Souta concluded.
"Exactly." Kagome said, but looked up as Inuyasha came walking through the door, a tall man in a blue suit by his side. "Inuyasha?"
"Are you Ms. Higurashi?" The doctor asked stepping forward.
"Yes I am. How is she? Please tell me." Kagome stood her eyes darting from Inuyasha to the doctor.
"Well she is in a light coma. She shouldn't be in it for more then a few days more maybe a week. But there were traces of poison in her bloodstream." The doctor explained, "It seemed to have reached parts of brain before oddly disappearing. I can not figure out where it went, but all in all it damaged parts of her brain."
Kagome froze; she knew where the poison had gone. Sesshomaru said when he took Rin as his mate he took all of the poison from her body. But still it had reached her brain and damaged it. But where? "Please do tell me doctor, which parts of her brain were damaged? Will she heal fully?"
Inuyasha remained quiet the whole time, his gaze dropped to the ground. Kagome had a feeling that he knew something she didn't.
"Inuyasha? Doctor please?" Kagome pleaded.
"One part of her brain was affected. She will be able to do everything she normally can do without a problem. Well she will need to heal from her wounds physically but in time yes she will be able to move freely." The doctor said.
"But those are just physical wounds doctor. Where in the brain was she damaged?"
"Ms. Rin was damaged in the part of the brain that deals with memory. It is only temporary though I cannot tell you how long that time will be. Already the brain is repairing but it will take some time, patience, and lots of love for her to regain the lost memories." He said steadily.
Kagome still stood froze. It was only faintly that she felt the arms of her brother and Inuyasha around her. Memories? Lost? Time? Love? No. Rin couldn't lose her memories. She was alive and here, she would live and get the best of help so that she could return to Sesshomaru and live by his side. She couldn't just forget about all that. Was she not his mate? How would she be able to forget that?
"No...it's not possible...she can't, forget everything..." Kagome stuttered. The arms around her shoulders tightened as she slowly fell. Inuyasha caught her and held her safely.
"I'm sorry Ms. Higurashi. She is out of the ER and in a regular room, if you would like to see her." The doctor said bowing his head fully showing sorrow.
Kagome nodded but couldn't say anything. Inuyasha and Souta thanked the doctor and he nodded and left. Kagome grabbed a hold of Inuyasha as the tears fell freely.
"Kagome, she's okay. The doctor is 100 percent sure that she will regain her memories in time." Souta reassured.
"Yes Kagome, she will be fine. I'll go back and explain to Sesshomaru. I know he will understand. Okay?" Inuyasha asked looking at her lovingly.
Kagome shook her head. "No I want to go back and tell him. It only seems right." Kagome argued.
"No, if he loses his temper you could get hurt."
"Hey I'll stay with Rin, just make sure you guys are back before dark okay?" Souta suggested.
Kagome smiled at her brother and wiped away her tears. "Thank you so much Souta. We will be back sooner then that."
As Inuyasha led Kagome out the hospital she couldn't help but feel like a dark cloud loomed on the horizon. Maybe it was just because of her miko powers but something was there. As if this memories thing was more then they figured it to be.

Kagome smiled at her brother and wiped away her tears. "Thank you so much Souta. We will be back sooner then that."
As Inuyasha led Kagome out the hospital she couldn't help but feel like a dark cloud loomed on the horizon. Maybe it was just because of her miko powers but something was there. As if this memories thing was more then they figured it to be.

Rin: (Sighs) I really hate how this chapter came out. Please do me a big favor and cheer me up by saying it was okay please!!!! Please don't flame me! I would never do it to you honestly! My brain is so whacked right now! I have a lot to do in the next week. Also in about two weeks maybe sooner this story will be almost finished we are about 4 chapters away. I will be bringing out a new story! One of my other stories is almost finished also so I really want to bring this one out. Anyways please review!! I would really appreciate it!!!
Yasha: Please save Rin because she is leaving in three days and maybe she will start working on some of the other stories tonight and update before she leaves? It all depends on you guys!
Rin: Yes Yasha is right for first. Please do, later!
Yasha: Ja-ne!
