Chapter 15: 1-800-555-Death Interrogation
Rin was sitting in the middle of the garden, a circle drawn around her in the dirt, surrounded by the fragrance of roses. Her eyes were shut and she had her hands folded her in lap. An aura of pink surrounded her, making her hair float about her like dark angels wings. Rin's eyes snapped open, her pupils gone and only the color of cherry blossoms could be seen.
' I call upon you…Inuyasha!'
Then the power diminished, her eyes turned a dead gray color and fell back onto the grass, completely unconscious.
Inuyasha was scouring over paperwork. He hated this job sometimes; this was so fucking boring! The hanyou sighed and looked over through the window, where his eyes widened. Why the hell was Rin surrounded by her miko energy? What was she doing?
Inuyasha stood up, when he cried out, grasping the fiery pain on the back of his neck, then he fell forward as if he was punched in the stomach and was winded.
' What is this shit?' He never got his answer.
As soon as the glow of miko energy through the windows diminished, his golden eyes turned dead and lifeless as he fell to the ground.
Kagome was sitting quietly in the room beside where Inuyasha was working. Her lips in a slight smile as she heard his muffled curses of frustration through the walls. Kagome flipped to the next page of the book in her lap, when she felt a rise of purifying energy. The miko stood and instinctively ran to where Inuyasha was.
" Inuyash-!" Her voice constricted as she saw the boy collapse by the window. Even now, her vision was hazy as she tried desperately to fight the intruding miko energy. Her brown eyes managed to see Rin fall to the ground as the young priestess fainted outside.
" Rin…" Kagome murmured before feeling her entire body stop in mid step, her eyes blank as she too, fell to the ground, a few feet beside Inuyasha.
And that is how Sango and Miroku found them. All unconscious and eyes blank as if they had died. But they could easily feel their pulses and they still were breathing. Only they no longer had pupils and they would not wake. Sango was sitting beside the beds which the all were lying on, looking incredibly worried.
" So you're saying Rin did this?" Sesshomaru accused, glaring harshly at the black haired man in front of him.
" Hai Sesshomaru-san. I felt miko energy from outside, where Rin had just left. And moments later all three of them looked like this. No color, pupil or even moving. But they are alive, that much we know."
The demon's eyes turned into slits as he gazed over at the three prone forms inside the room. He couldn't exactly call the hospital about this. And so, he only had one more option.
" Call Kaede."
The elderly woman inspected the three prone bodies with naught a word. Sesshomaru was growing increasingly annoyed but opted to stay silent. Kaede was prone to have a hell of a temper and was incredibly powerful. He had no desire to die, particularly by a mortal woman's hand.
" Rin called upon Inuyasha's spirit." The old woman concluded her beady black eyes intense as she turned to face Sesshomaru.
" What for?"
" Rin cares deeply for Kagome. And she wished to see the cause of Kagome's hidden despair."
Sesshomaru fell silent.
" That much is obvious. I suspect that Rin contacted Inuyasha's incarnate to get to the bottom of the situation. But since Inuyasha and Kagome's souls are entwined, they fell victim to her spell as well."
" Well where are they?" Sango asked, her face weary and scared.
"' In the place between dreams."
" When will they get back?"
Kaede was silent for a moment.
" That is up to Rin to decide."
Rin's eyes fluttered open, her head throbbing. She choked on a gasp as a pair of glowing gold eyes compassed her vision.
" Who the hell are you?" The eyes asked. It wasn't until she struggled to her feet that she realized who exactly was speaking to her.
Her mouth tried to move but all she could do was stare. It was him! Her uncle's incarnate! Only he was wearing a red outfit and a strange necklace of indigo beads and fangs. A sword hung at his waist, though his hand hovered just above the hilt.
" It's you…" She murmured, trying to regain her composure. Her spell had worked! It did! It worked! Wait…now was the time to figure out of it was a good thing or a bad thing.
" What about me?" He asked harshly, his eyes narrowed at her suspiciously. Until his ears twitched and he spun around. When his eyes widened.
Rin turned to the same direction and gasped. That's right! They were entwined souls so Kagome would have to come as well!
" Baka baka baka baka baka BAKA!" She whispered fervently, smacking her skull with her tiny fists. The girl whimpered as she stepped further then the hanyou.
" Kagome-Chan is going to kill me…baka baka baka baka baka!"
" Kagome…" Rin winced and turned around, before nodding.
" Yes…that's her…"
" Then who the fuck are you?"
" Rin. I brought you here."
" Why?"
" I want to know why Kagome is sad."
" Nani?"
" She hides it, but when she looks at Inu Oni Chan sometimes, she looks so sad…"
" So sad that I didn't want to ask what was wrong. So I came to the one person who would know."
The boy's ears twitched.
" Inuyasha…why did you seal her?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened as emotion flooded his golden eyes, shaking Rin by the shoulders.
" I didn't seal her!"
" I didn't! I tried to warn her…about the bandit. Something weird had changed in his scent…something demon had entered him. Gave him power more then any mortal could handle."
Rin simply watched as Inuyasha let her go and knelt beside the sleeping body of his mate.
" He…knew when I was human. That was the time each month when Kagome wouldn't see him, instead to protect me."
" He killed you?" Rin whispered, putting the pieces into place.
" Yeah, before Kagome got there. He met her half way and tried to kill her in my hanyou form. She tried to seal him, but…I saw it as I was dying…"
The black haired boy crawled on his hands and knees toward the place where Kagome and him were to meet that new moon night. Blood staining his clothes and seeping through his mouth, clouding his vision in hazy black and red spots.
" Kag-" He coughed and bit his lip, making it bleed like the rest of him as waves of pain racked his body.
The boy's eyes widened as he watched himself. His hanyou self, laughing as a wounded Kagome trained an arrow at his body.
" Inuyasha…why…" He could hear her pained voice. He tried to call out to her, tell her it wasn't him, but the pain locked up his voice. Making it flutter uselessly at its cage like a wild bird.
" SHINAI!" Kagome cried, forcing all her emotions into the arrow, watching it with a satisfaction as it headed straight toward her target. Tears fell down her cheeks nonetheless, making red trails fall down her dirtied face.
The hanyou merely smiled and used the aura against her, making the arrow shaft fall to the ground and playing with the energy in his hands like a toy.
" No Kagome. Once I get rid of you and use this jewel. I can easily become a full demon."
Kagome's eyes widened and she bit her lip.
" And you won't be part of it."
With that, he trained the energy on her and spun her about, fully intending to kill her right there.
Inuyasha's violet eyes closed as he heard her screams of pain, making him tense as he felt his life fade away.
" Don't let her die…" He murmured before his pulse stopped completely.
The Shikon jewel in the faux hanyou's grasp glittered and wrenched from his grip, disappearing beside Kagome. As the miko energy hit the miko, she disappeared.
And the bandit screamed in pain as arrows pummeled his body, arrows from the villagers. A sword befell his head, making it fall with a sickening plop of organs and thick blood.
A saddened group of villagers wept for their miko as a single silver haired figure gazed at the scene impassively as he sheathed his sword. He turned and gazed at the fallen body of the ebony haired boy and gave a look of disgust.
" You always were weak." The baritone voice murmured as he turned and left the humans to their meaningless rituals.
" Little brother…"
Rin was silent, as the boy's expression became one of despair, his fingers running along the locks of his miko.
" Do you miss her?" Rin whispered.
" Everyday." He answered, not looking at her anymore but at the boy that resembled him so.
" So I guess even half breeds get reincarnated."
" Hai."
Inuyasha was silent as he stood up, lifting his reincarnation's hair up and gazing at the pulsing mark of a tiny lily that glowed pink at the base of his neck.
" So…he tasted her blood?"
Rin winced and nodded.
Inuyasha gave an emotionless chuckle. Before letting the hair return to place.
" He is taking care of her isn't he?" He growled sending a heated glare in Rin's direction.
" Of course he is! But she hasn't tasted his blood, so it's one sided really." Her sad eyes went past the feudal boy and onto her 'brother'.
Inuyasha shook his head.
He crouched in front of Rin, his eyes looking up at her.
" You live with my brother right? It's all over you. His scent I mean."
" Yeah…He saved me…"
" Since when did he feel compassion for humans?"
Rin smiled slightly before shrugging.
" I can't even answer that. But it's better then the stupid foster home I was at before."
Inuyasha looked at her closely.
" You were an orphan?"
" Yeah."
Rin started to feel woozy. She'd used so much power just by keeping them all safe and sound.
" Can I do one thing before you collapse on me?" Inuyasha asked, smirking as she glared weakly.
" Maybe…"
" I want to talk to Kagome."
Rin smiled weakly and nodded as she sat down on her knees beside Kagome, beckoning him to come over.
Inuyasha crouched beside her, his eyes untrusting.
Rin placed her hand on his forehead and her fingertips on Kagome's, her eyes snapped open as pink light glowing from them.
Inuyasha closed his eyes and fell backward, floating beside Kagome.
Kaede was silently sipping tea when she felt a rise of miko energy. Sango ran down the stairs towards her and Sesshomaru, her eyes wide as she beckoned them.
" You won't believe it!"
There was all of them, surrounded by a pink light. Somewhere, Rin's hand's had moved and her resting on the other's foreheads, her eyes wide open, only pink surrounding her irises.
" She's making Inuyasha and Kagome speak." Kaede concluded.
" But why this way? They can talk in person can't they?"
Kaede shook her head.
" Nay, she's making Inuyasha's incarnate and Kagome speak. Not his reincarnation."
Sesshomaru was too busy gazing at Rin, a hidden worried gleam in his impassive gaze.
