Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
I feel so guilty for the previous chapters, I do! So I'm making this one longish! AND updating it extra early.
Chapter Fourteen: You need a miracle
Rin woke up, her head was heavy and her body ached. She could vaguely remember getting beaten to a pulp by Naraku, she twitched her fingers to see if anything was broken and her hand brushed some fabric.
Sesshoumaru's shirt.
Rin smiled as she looked at the tattered material. Somewhere in her beaten and abused mind rang Naraku's words from the night before "You'll be joining your precious Sesshoumaru soon!"
She didn't mind that too much... did she?
Did she?
Nothing was clear to Rin now; her mind was clouded from the pain and promise of her own death. Where the hell was she anyway?
She sat up, her stomach hurting when she did and her arms wobbling as she supported herself. She was in a room, well that helped, she stood up shakily and walked over to a window. She stuck her head out of the window and looked up the street. A chill shot to her heart as she saw the top of a burned house at the top of the street. It was dark; it'd been about 8 when she was forced into this house, she guessed, so it couldn't have been that long since she was knocked out.
"Awake, Rin? That's good." A cruel voice from the door snapped. Naraku.
He stood in the doorway, a smirk across his face; Rin turned to look at him. "You're not still clinging onto that thing are you?" Naraku laughed and pointed to the shirt that she was holding, her grip tightened on the shirt.
"How sweet" Naraku spat out and turned from the room, a sickening smile on his face.
Rin slid to the floor and was dimly aware of the radio buzzing out music from across the room.
'Are you enjoying your time here?" Naraku asked, butting into her listening. "Well, don't. I enjoy watching you suffer. It makes me feel...so much better"
"Bugger off, Naraku" Rin said sourly, standing up and glaring at him.
Naraku laughed, walking around her and looking down on her.
"If you're going to kill me, just do it already" Rin snapped "So I wont have to listen to you anymore!"
Naraku laughed again "You want me to kill you?"
"Yes" Rin said, bored.
"Very well" shrugged Naraku "But then again, that would make you happy, wouldn't it? You'd be with Kohaku, your parents and that bastard Sesshoumaru"
"Sesshoumaru is not a bastard, that would be you." She pointed out blankly, refusing to use the term 'was'
"You poor, sad girl" Naraku said "You must not be right in the head because..." he pulled out a picture, it was the house bursting into flame, with Rin standing outside it "You think he could be inside of that and LIVE? You poor, misdirected, delusional child"
"Cut the bullshit, Naraku" snapped Rin, changing the subject "I thought you were going to kill me? Or is your killing streak at an end?"
"You can talk, murderer" Naraku hissed coldly
"You murdered Kagura, you tried to murder me, you murdered Sesshoumaru!" Rin shouted back at him "This is all your fault, Naraku!" she snapped back, irritated at the 'murderer'
"Don't forget your dear sweet brother Kohaku, I murdered him too."
Rin started "You--?"
"Oh yes" hissed Naraku in a mock sweet voice that stung Rin harshly
---FLASHBACK---
Kohaku was always arguing with Mr.Onigumo, him being the 12 year old boyfriend of 12 year old Kagura. Mr.Onigumo never took much notice of his daughter and often treated her coldly because of her mother's sudden death he had become abusive towards her, which irritated Kohaku.
Naraku had been sitting on the bench outside his house when Kohaku came storming out of it.
"That guy is such a bastard!" Kohaku said loudly
"Watch your stupid mouth!" A 9-year-old Naraku snapped
"Shut up, kid, I'm just standing up for your sister. God knows she needs it." Kohaku said rounding on Naraku
Naraku stood up and marched over to Kohaku "Oh, yeah? Well everyone knows how you're a nasty little shit, bastard child"
"Kids like you shouldn't use that language"
Naraku pushed him hard. Kohaku looked startled and Naraku pushed him again, right into the road.
Right in front of a truck. His death was instant, there wasn't even a chance of survival
---FLASHBACK END---
Since Kohaku's seemingly accident death their parents fought, each thinking it was the others fault. That was the reason they were both orphans.
"You bastard!" Rin spat in rage
"Oh yeah" Naraku said, walking over to her, pulling a gun out of his back pocket and lifting her up by her neck. "You wanted to die, didn't you?"
"You complete and utter bastard" Rin said, struggling to speak.
"Yeah, yeah" Naraku said, bored "Well, I'm sure your dying to see your family again so..." he put the gun to her temple "I won't keep you any longer"
Rin squeezed her eyes shut. This was it then. Right?
: BANG:
Rin slipped to the floor.
'Wait' she thought 'This isn't right. Why am I not dead? Am I dead? I can't feel any pain. Wait, am I so far gone I can't even feel the pain?'
Rin cracked an eye open; Naraku was on the floor, looking astonished. Someone beside him was panting; they were wearing white trousers, what would appear to be bandages and the remnants of a shirt. Their white hair covering their face as they breathed in and out heavily, they looked up and gave Rin a small smile. Rin's mouth hung open in awe.
"S-Sesshoumaru!" Rin cried.
Oooh! Another cliffie for the evil fans.
