Chapter Fifteen: Explanations
Both Naraku and Rin stared at Sesshoumaru in awe and disbelief. Sesshoumaru walked over to Naraku expressionlessly and promptly punched him in the face.
"You! It can't be! You're dead!" Naraku shouted.
"Little shit!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed, grabbing the gun off of Naraku. He kicked Naraku "Hurts, doesn't it?" he hissed, mirroring Naraku's words.
Naraku made to kick Sesshoumaru and he punched Naraku in the face again, knocking him out.
"Nasty little piece of crap!" Sesshoumaru yelled at the unconscious Naraku. He turned back to Rin, who jumped on him, knocking him over.
"I thought you were dead!" she screamed, her arms around his neck and tears spilling onto his face.
"Uh...Rin..." Sesshoumaru said, noting the position.
"Everyone thinks you're dead!" she cried.
"Rin..."
"How could you not be dead? What happened?" Rin asked, getting off of him and sitting next to him on the floor.
He straightened up.
"Am I the only one who believes I'm not dead?"
Rin laughed slightly "How did you get out alive?"
Sesshoumaru sighed "Well..."
---Sesshoumaru's Flashback---
Sesshoumaru was barely paying attention to the fact that they were now out of the house and he was chasing Jaken onto the streets, if he had been paying attention, he would of noticed that Jaken was leading him somewhere deliberately.
Jaken turned and ran into an old house, Sesshoumaru, barely thinking, ran in after him. He could hear Rin behind him, running after him but he didn't care, all he cared about was smashing Jaken's head in. He'd had a hunch Jaken was working for that bastard Naraku, because he'd caught him on the phone, twittering about how he was going to get them back.
Then he stopped, inside the house. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as he realised.
This was all a trap.
"Oh, shit" Sesshoumaru said as he finally realised. But then it was all too late.
Jaken pushed past him and Sesshoumaru grabbed him
"Oh no you don't, you little-!"
"LET ME GO!" screamed Jaken, clawing at Sesshoumaru's arm, Sesshoumaru held on tightly but then his shirt tore. Jaken clung to the piece; Sesshoumaru fell backwards, hitting a wall and falling down some stairs.
"No!" Jaken cried.
Sesshoumaru got up and instinctively shut the doors that were at the bottom.
: BANG:
The house shook, Sesshoumaru panicked and cracked open one of the heavy doors, and smoke billowed into the room as he caught sight of the flames.
"SESSHOUMARU! Answer me, please..." a voice yelled
"Rin?!" he shouted, but up against the crackling of the flames and creaking of the building he couldn't even hear his own voice.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"RIN, WAIT!"
He had to slide the door close to avoid the approaching flames.
"Damn!" he yelled, slamming his fists on the wall.
He looked around the room; apparently it was the basement and had been set up so Jaken could survive the blast. A small desk with a radio and a microphone and other things such as a phone on it was in the corner of the room. He walked over to it and sat down. He spent about fifteen minutes leaning on the desk staring into space when suddenly the radio buzzed.
'Naraku-sama, Kikyou has caught sight of the girl, Rin''Tell her to bring her to me'
'Yes, Naraku-sama'
There were a couple of minutes of nothing and then the radio buzzed again
'That will be all, Kikyou. Get up, Rin'Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. And he slammed his fist down on the desk.
'I see Jaken achieved his task from the look on your face' Naraku laughed 'Hurts, doesn't it?'
Silence
'And I bet you're feeling like it's all your fault. Well guess what, Rin? It is your fault'
Sesshoumaru wanted to hurt something. Naraku laughed on the other end of the line.
'There was a fire today at approximately 7 o clock at 75 Japan Street, in which one person died. This person can not be identified due to the damage to the body but rumours say that the body is 18 year old Tessiaga Sesshoumaru, who is missing from his home along with Koji Rin, who is said to have been at the site of the fire. This fire was not an accident as the remains of explosives were found at the site. Miss Koji's body is yet to be found that if indeed she too perished in the fire earlier today.' An official-sounding voice buzzed, a news reporter, no doubt.
There was a sobbing noise.
'Oh shit!' thought Sesshoumaru, Rin was crying. She obviously thought he was dead, too. He wanted to say something, but that would give him away and he'd have no chance of saving Rin because they'd send someone to kill him.
Damn Naraku.
'Oh, don't worry, Rin. You'll be joining your precious Sesshoumaru soon!'
There was a thud, Naraku had hit her! Sesshoumaru rose to his feet and ran to the door sliding it open.
Fire.
Shit.
He closed the door again, grudgingly sitting back down.
There were more noises of fighting, one-sided fighting. Rin wasn't putting up much of a fight, if any fight at all. Finally there was one great thud and a few kicking noises, he could hear Rin's noises of pain and then it stopped.
He had had enough.
He opened the door, firemen must have been through there, he decided, as the flames were all gone and all that remained were the remnants of the stairs. He ran out of the building through the back door and ran through the streets, looking for Rin. Running for about half an hour straight.
Finally, by chance he could see her standing by a window, Naraku showing what looked like a photo to her, Sesshoumaru ran to the front door, he knocked the door down. The falling door knocked out Kikyou and he sped upstairs to find Naraku with a gun pressed to Rin's head. He barrelled into Naraku as hard as he could.
---
"So, you were in the basement all the time..." Rin said.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "Jaken had set it up to survive the house blowing up."
"So the body was..."
"Jaken"
Rin nodded.
Sesshoumaru stood up and glared at the unconscious Naraku "What are we going to do about this bastard then?"
There, for all those who figured it out, feel proud, for all those who didn't, brain fart.
