This chapter is a little strange. I'm sorry for that. I was listening to Yellowcard's "Only You". I think that song had some type of affect on me but I couldn't help it. I love that song!

Chapter Four
Her visions were darker now. When she was younger her vision consisted of what she would get for Christmas or her birthday, little things like that. As she grew older she could see how her day would be, who would talk to her. But now, they told her of a dark future, one that wrecked of death and destruction.
The darker visions had started about a month ago. She had seen a boy with dark brown hair, with brown eyes. He had freckles around his nose. Each time she'd seen him, he'd been trying to kill her. Always calling her name, chasing her.
Needless to say that the visions scared her. She didn't know why this boy was out for her life. All that she knew was that she would avoid it for as long as she could, but she knew that eventually, they would come to pass. They always did.
That was the reason she had been enrolled into Shikon High. It was here that she could learn how to control her visions. Also here she would have protection from this boy. Not only did the school itself have it's own methods of protection, but her cousins Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha would be there to protect should something life threatening happen to her.
Still even with their protection, she feared that they wouldn't be able to protect him.
Her visions had already begun to come true. This morning she'd met the boy from her visions.
FLASHBACK
She was going to be late, and she just knew that she was lost. It was her first day in a new school, and it was the first day of term. Kids were already starting to disperse into their classes.
She would ask someone where the class was, but she was awfully shy. The only people she knew in this school were her cousins, and her friend Miroku, who she'd known since she was 4. He was a year older, and a bit lecherous, but he was a good friend.
Anyway, that wasn't the point at the moment. The point was, she was lost and had no one to ask for directions. Silently, she cursed her shyness.
I'm gonna be sooo late! She thought as she ran down the hall looking for her class. Not paying much attention to her surroundings, she turned a corner and promptly bumped into someone, which sent her sprawling onto the floor, dropping her books in the process.
"Sorry! Here let me help you up." An outstretched hand came into her line of vision. She looks up and it's like she's been sucked into another one of her visions. It was him, the boy from her visions.
The boy reaches down and grabs her hands, pulling her to her feet.
As he reaches down to gather her books he says "Hi I'm Kohaku. What's your name?"
She stands dumbfounded for a second and then shakily replies, "Rin, my name is Rin."
"Well Rin, I'm awfully sorry for bumping into you." By this time he's finished gathering her books and hands them to her.
Smiling he says "I'll guess see you around." He takes her hand and kisses it. He turns and swiftly walks away, leaving Rin alone in the hallway, dumbfounded and blushing.
She stands for a few minutes, and then a thought occurs to her.
"I'm late!!!!" she shrieks, and then once again sets off to find her class.
End Flashback
Luckily for Rin, she made it to her class right before the late bell rang. Quickly she found a seat and sat down.
"So we meet again Rin." Says a smooth deep voice.
"Ummmm… hi?"
"If had known you were in my class, I would have walked with you, instead of leaving you in the hallway." He smiles.
In bewilderment, she whispers his name. "Kohaku?"
He simply smiles at her and begins to talk to her about something or the other. She wasn't really sure what. She couldn't seem to focus her thoughts. She just kept seeing her vision of him chasing her, out for her death. She couldn't shake the feeling of gloom when she looked at him.
She was going to freak out. Her face started to turn a ghostly pale, her vision was blurring.
"Rin?" Kohaku asked. "Rin? Are you ok? Rin? Rin!!!"
Her vision swam and then everything went black.
Suddenly panicked, and completely confused, Kohaku shouted "Someone call the nurse!!"
Kikyou was bored. Absolutely bored. The whole day to her had been a waste. Her teachers were boring and she learned nothing. Classes were done and she had long ago finished her homework.
Sango had slipped out of there room about an hour ago, muttering something about the gardens. Kagome hadn't even come back to the room after classes. The last time she'd seen her was when she left out of lunch earlier.
She had to admit that lunch had been interesting though. She'd met a few people. A girl by the name of Rin, who seemed awfully shaken up. A guy named Kohaku, who was introduced as Sango's cousin. He seemed to only pay attention to Rin though. He said it was because he was worried about her. Said she'd passed out earlier that morning. Rin seemed more bothered by his attention than grateful.
Shippou, Kouga, Ayame, Kagura, and Miroku, were already her friends. They'd all met in their first year at Shikon High. Kouga, Kagura, and Shippou were a year older than Kikyou and her sister but the age difference didn't seem to matter much.
Kanna was Kagura's little sister. She seemed a little creepy with her white hair and eyes devoid of emotion, but then again, looks could be deceiving. Once she started talking, she seemed like a very nice girl. And course she knew Sango and Kagome.
She had no one to talk to. She wondered where Miroku was. They'd dated for a while during the previous year, but it had ended. They still liked each other, but Kikyou had gotten the feeling that he may have developed feelings for Sango. So she'd ended it, in order to see if he really did like Sango, and if he did, she would give him the freedom to date her. As it turned out, he didn't like Sango as anything more than a friend. Sango had asked him herself on the last day of term. Miroku had explained that although at times he seemed a little "over friendly" with her and some other girls on campus, he truly did like Kikyou and he only thought of Sango as a friend. Truly Kikyou wanted him back. She missed the times they spent together.
Sighing, she thought on her entertainment options, and headed out the door, in search of Miroku.
After searching for twenty minutes, she finally found him sitting on a bench in the gardens.
Grudging up her deepest and sexiest voice she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "Hello stranger." She could feel the shivers run up his spin, and she smirked in satisfaction.
"Kikyou." He breathed. Although that voice was something that he'd never heard from her, he recognized her perfume.
Keeping her arms around his neck she slide around until she was situated on the bench next to him. In response he slide his arms around her waist and drew her to him. Taking a deep breath of her perfume, he relaxed.
"Why are you sitting out here all alone?" She asked him.
"I'm just sitting out here, enjoying the stars." He replied. Slowly he traced over her fingers with his. "It's nice out here," he continued, "peaceful."
"Hmmm." She murmured a content sigh. It was indeed beautiful. They were sitting near the pond. It was a full moon, and the light of the moon made everything seem to mysterious, and romantic. Sitting there in Miroku's arms, it seemed like old times, back when they were together and happy. How she wished she could go back to those days. But something was holding her back.
"Kikyou?"
"Yes?"
Taking a deep breath and tightening his hold on her he prepared for the argument that was about to begin.
"I miss the old times."
"What do you mean?"
"I miss being with you. I miss having you with me. "
She sighed. She knew what he was getting at, and she knew that she couldn't. Although she desperately wanted to date Miroku again, she knew that she couldn't. Even though she knew he didn't like Sango in that special way, she just couldn't let things go back to the way they were.
"Come back with me Kikyou. I miss you."
"Miroku." She tried to pull away from him but he refused to let her go.
"No Kikyou. Don't run away from me." She was struggling now. Finally she broke away and turned to look at him.
"Do you think I want to run away?! I can't do this Miroku! Not yet!"
He was suddenly filled with this overwhelming anger. She'd never been this distant from him. He hated that she wasn't with him anymore. It was eating him up inside. She was the first girl that he felt that he could be himself. And she was trying to break away from him.
"Then tell me what I have to do Kikyou! Tell me why! Why won't you come back to me? Didn't I prove I don't like Sango?" Kikyou gasped. "Yea, I know that's why you ended it. You thought that I liked her as more than a friend. Well I don't. I love you and you're the only one I want. TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!!!"
His words seem to echo throughout the gardens. He loves me? She was confused. She wanted to be with Miroku, but something was holding her back. Fear? Yes fear. Fear of having her heart broken, fear of what would happen if she let him see her true self.
"I'm scared." She whispered.
His anger vanished with her whispered words. "Why?" he breathed.
"What will happen if I let you see the real me? I love you Miroku. What if one day you wake up and realize that I'm not the girl that you think I am?" Tears start to stream down her face. "What if you end up hating me? I can't stand the thought. I don't want to lose you!" At this point she breaks into full blown sobs. Sighing Miroku pulls her to him as he sinks down into the grass.
"That'll never happen. I'll love you no matter what."
Nothing else was said between the two. They simply sat in the moonlight, holding on to each other as if their lives depended on it.
Later he simply led her back to her room. He kissed her forehead softly and left her in the safety of her room to think on what had happened between them.
Yup, I think that's enough for one chapter. I'm sorry that it took so long to get this chapter. I was having some problems writing it. Let me know what you think? Is it good or am I really bad this type of writing?
Anyway next chapter should be out sometime next week.
O yes, I wanted to tell you the pairings: This is a:
Kagome/Sesshoumaru
Sango/Inuyasha
Kikyou/Miroku
Rin/Kohaku
Yea I know that these pairings are a little strange but I couldn't help but try to write a story that's based on these pairings. If you don't like the pairings I suggest you stop reading right now.
Thank you to those who have already reviewed this story. You are truly appreciated.
Ja ne!!
