Never Lose Hope

A/N: Chapter 2 is here! I have to say thank you to my reviewers. This chapter is a little rushed because I am babysitting. At the end please tell me if it was rushed or not. Thank you. Now read the review response and then the story. Hope you enjoy.

Motoko Aoyama: My second reviewer thanks for your review. Thank you also for your poll results. Just so you know, in my story Rin was never small and traveling with Sesshomaru. She was just older so no Kagome will not be much older. She stays the same age only Rin gets older. Here's chapter 2 hope you like it.

Chapter 2: A Not So Normal Day

!6 year old Rin screamed in fright. The weird black object rising out of the ground terrified her. The black "thing" moved towards Rin, grabbing her foot.

"Sesshomaru!" Rin cried. Tears streamed down her eyes as she was pulled closer towards the hole the black thing was coming out of.

"Rin stay still!" Sesshomaru yelled and charged forward. As he charged he pulled out Tokijin and slashed the black thing which was a demon.

"Lord Sesshomaru did it!" Jaken cheered.

Sesshomaru put his sword away and knelt down to Rin's side. Rin sat on the ground staring at her ankle that was bleeding uncontrollably.

"Stay still," Sesshomaru mumbled as he ripped of a piece of cloth and tied it around Rin's ankle. (Sesshomaru is kind in this fanfic….well sometimes)

"Thank you Sesshomaru," Rin whispered as she lowered her head. A deep red blush formed on her cheeks as well as Sesshomaru's.

"Lord Sesshomaru? Rin?" Jaken said as he watched both Rin and Sesshomaru stare at each other.

"Rin!" Sesshomaru yelled as he tackled her down to the ground.

The black demon past straight over Sesshomaru's head while failing to attack and kill one of them. In order to protect Rin Sesshomaru covered her body with his own.

A scream escaped Sesshomaru's lips. The black demon left acid on Sesshomaru's back before it disappeared.

"Sesshomaru!" Rin cried as Sesshomaru fainted on top of her.


"I don't understand him," Ayame whispered to herself. She was walking aimlessly through the forest.

"Why does she always question me?" Koga wondered.

Ayame didn't notice Koga staring into the sky in front of her. They both were walking towards each other without noticing and then….BUMP!

"Watch where you're walking!" Koga yelled.

"Sorry!" Ayame yelled back. Her gaze shifted up and she noticed who it was that she bumped into. "Koga!"

"Ayame!"

"Koga I have some questions for you."

"I don't have any time."

"Don't you dare move!"

Koga stared at Ayame who stared back at him coldly. He noticed the pain in her eyes when he looked into her eyes.

"Koga why do you say that you don't remember your promise?" Ayame asked, holding back tears.

"I don't remember," Koga mumbled and smirked.

"Don't lie to me!" Ayame yelled. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared painfully into Koga's.

"I'm not lying!" Koga screamed at her. He glared at her.

"Koga stop it. Stop lying to me. I can't take it anymore," Ayame whispered, her head lowering. Her tears slipping down her cheeks.

"Ayame…" Koga started.

"Shut up!" Ayame yelled. "Stop it just stop it!" Ayame moved her head side to side furiously.

"Ayame stop it!" Koga cried and grabbed Ayame's shoulders. Her head fell onto his shoulder.

"You idiot," Ayame whispered. "I love you Koga I really do."

"Ayame," Koga whispered, stunned.

"That's all you have to say. I just said I loved you!" Ayame screamed, getting angry at Koga. She threw her body forward and forced Koga into a shocking kiss that Koga gave into.


"Kikyo will I see you again?" Inuyasha whispered into the night. He sat cross-legged at the corner of a small hut.

One of Shippo's eyes opened when he heard Inuyasha speaking. He stared at him confused.

"What happened back there? Why did you leave?" Inuyasha mumbled.

"Everybody Inuyasha has a secret!" Shippo yelled as he jumped up.

Everybody opened their eyes and looked at the jumping Shippo.

"Inuyasha tell us the secret!" Shippo yelled and Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched.


A/N: There's chapter 2. It was rushed but it's long because of so many things I wanted to put into it.

Preview: Inuyasha stares at everybody as Shippo repeats every word Inuyasha said to himself. Kagome feels hurt but wants to hear the whole story.

Koga likes the kiss and tells Ayame why he's pushing her away. Will she understand his reasons?

Sesshomaru is now hurt and it's up to Rin to take care of him. She feels closer to him and her love for him grows. Sesshomaru doesn't know what to say as Rin confesses her feelings. He never loved somebody before. What will he do? How can he describe his feelings for Rin?

Kikyo watches Inuyasha from far, hoping to tell him her secret soon. What is this secret?

Questions:

How should Ayame react to Koga's reasons? (It's an open-ended question write whatever)

Should Sesshomaru confess his feelings so soon? (Pick from: yes, no)

Should there be another encounter between Inuyasha and Kikyo? (Pick from: yes, no)

How does Kagome feel when she hears Inuyasha's lie about what happened with Kikyo? (Open-ended question)
