Just wanna warn everyone, I'm trying out something new for this chapter, I'm gonna be doing some of it from Naraku's POV. Never done that before but I hope it turns out well.

Disclaimer: Inuyasha and its characters do NOT belong to me.

Chapter 4

Naraku's eyes jerked open as his ears caught the sound made by the late night intruder. He got out of the bed as easily as he can to avoid waking the still sleeping Rin. Slowly he opened the bedroom door and stepped out into the hallway. For nearly an hour Naraku searched the rooms and corridors of his castle and found nothing, until Kanna trudges down the hall toward him.

"Naraku-sama, there is an intruder in the hall near the bathing rooms." the ghostly little girl told him as she pointed a finger in the direction of the bathing rooms.

"Thank you Kanna, can you tell me who it was that you saw?" Naraku asked his incarnation.

The girl started walking away as she answered, "I do believe it was Inuyasha's brother."

So, just as I thought, Sesshomaru has come to rescue his precious little Rin. His attempts will end in failure.

Naraku headed off in the direction Kanna had pointed to. When he arrived Sesshomaru was no longer there, but from the way the vases in the hall had fallen, he could tell which way the demon had headed. Naraku didn't walk much further before Sesshomaru jumped down from a window sill and leaded in front of him.

"Naraku, where is Rin? I do suggest you don't lie." the demon threatened as he put his hand on his sword.

Naraku saw this as a threat and answered truthfully, "If you must have the truth, the girl is in my bedroom. You won't be getting her back anytime soon."

"I'll be getting her out of this place as soon as I get rid of you." Sesshomaru drew his sword. He attacked Naraku with all of his strength, only to be pushed back by a barrier.

"No, lets not do this here, lets take it outside." Naraku insisted as he waved his finger.

Sesshomaru looked at him strangely, "That is fine, that way I don't have to carry you as far when I bury you."

The fight was taken outside and grew more furious by the minute. Sesshomaru used his sword, Tokijin, as his weapon while Naraku fought using only his hands. The fighting went on for near 30 minutes until Naraku was thrown into the wall of his castle, and the wood and stone fell down onto him, nearly crushing him. He was down but not out, he picked up a large wooden pillar while he was under the stone.

This can be my weapon, Sesshomaru won't be alive much longer.

Rin's eyes slowly opened as she heard the sounds outside of the castle. She looked around the room, looking specifically for those crimson red eyes.

Naraku isn't here, that's good. Maybe that's him making such loud noise outside.

She got out of that evil bed, walked out into the hallway and looked for the closest window. She finds a large window across the hall, opens it and crawls up onto the roof to see what was happening outside. When she stood up straight she could see Naraku and Sesshomaru fighting down below.

Sesshomaru-sama came, I knew he would. But, what if he doesn't kill Naraku, will I be stuck in this place forever? No, Sesshomaru-sama will defeat him, he has to. If he doesn't I won't be able to tell him... how I feel about him.

She turned her attention back to the fight and hoped for Sesshomaru's victory.

Naraku pushed the remains of the left side of his castle off of him and stood up with a large wooden pillar in his hand. He ran quickly toward Sesshomaru with the piece of wood in the air, he missed the first time and the second. The third time he ran at Sesshomaru with the piece of wood the dog demon failed to dodge it. The demon fell to the ground as the wood pierced his flesh of his chest deeply, leaving a large, bleeding wound. Rin had seen the blood fly from up on the roof, the sound of her screaming the dog demon's name could have been heard miles away.

"So Sesshomaru, not so strong anymore are you? I could kill you right here, right now, only I'd much rather watch you suffer." Naraku chuckled at the fallen demon.

He didn't get an answer, Sesshomaru had lost consciousness after losing so much blood.

Naraku drug the unconscious Sesshomaru down to the basement cell where Rin had been earlier and where Kagura still was. He locked the demon up in shackles and slapped him hard across the face.

Not that it does any good to hit someone as unconscious as he is now. Maybe he'll die on his own down here, or maybe I'll get to kill him myself. As for now, I need to get back to Rin

Rin paced back and forth on the roof.

Where could Naraku be taking him? The basement cell! But, how do I get down there? This castle is amazingly huge, I don't remember the way, but I can try my best. I have to find Sesshomaru-sama, with the wound he just received he can't hold on too much longer without help.

She crawled back through the window and back into the castle. She walked through the castle making sure to stay as quiet as possible, she couldn't let Naraku know that she wasn't still sleeping in his room.

Am I walking in circles? I feel like I've been here before...

Oh no, I have been here before, that's the window I just came through.

Rin was getting frustrated, she let out a scream and tried to muffle it using the sleeve of her kimono. She couldn't be so quiet anymore, she needed to run if she wanted to get to Sesshomaru before Naraku got to his room. She ran off in the direction opposite of where she had walked last time. The castle was disgusting, she ran through spider webs every few seconds and dust flew up off of the floor each time her foot landed. She spotted skeletons in a few of the rooms but, because she was in a hurry, she ran past them as if she hadn't seen them.

I wonder, is that the fate that I too will face if Sesshomaru-sama dies?

Naraku walked back to his room, where he had left Rin sleeping on his bed earlier, before the intrusion. He entered his room and pulled back the covers on his bed, Rin wasn't under them.

The little wench must have seen me carry off Sesshomaru. Is she foolish enough to try to save him?

He stomped out of his room, his feet hit the floorboards with loud bangs as he walked toward the basement where he though his unruly new pet must have went.

Rin continued to run through the castle corridors, and finally found the staircase that led down to the basement. She hadn't noticed earlier how disgusting the basement was, mold grew up the sides of the walls, spiders seemed to live in the cracks in the walls and floors, and everything metal was rusted as if it had been here for hundreds of years.

She made her way through the spider webs and into the cell, where she found Sesshomaru locked up in the same shackles that had held her earlier.

"Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said as she touched his face, "please wake up, please."

Her attempts to wake him failed, he was still unconscious and his body was cold.

He can't be, he can't be dead! He's gonna wake up, I know he will, he will wake up. Rin continued to touch his face and she laid her head on his chest. Sesshomaru-sama please, you have to wake up.

Rin started to cry, she threw her head up to face the ceiling she didn't care how loud the scream would be, "Sesshomaru!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as tears flew from her eyes. One of the stray tears hit Sesshomaru on the left cheek and ran down his face. As soon as the tear landed on the ground Sesshomaru's eyes slowly began to open again.

"Rin," Sesshomaru began weakly, "hurry and unlock these chains, Naraku is on his way."

Rin wiped away her tears and unlocked his shackles with a pin that had held up her hair. She tore off the sleeve of her kimono and wrapped it around the demon's large wound on his chest.

"Sesshomaru-sama, how are we going to get out of this place?" Rin asked, still trying to mask the fact that she had been crying.

Naraku busted through the cell door, and Sesshomaru only looked toward Rin in answer to her question. Rin knew what that look meant, he was going to fight Naraku again.

"Sesshomaru-sama, no you can't, you'll..." she couldn't continue.

He's going to get himself killed, I've got to help him, but how? Even though he is seriously hurt, he had a better chance against Naraku than I do. But if he dies fighting Naraku, I will have to kill Naraku myself.

Yay! Another chapter finished, this one is much longer than the last chapters I have written and took me a lot longer to write. As much as I hate to say it, I think the next chapter will be the last. I still find it very strange that I have over 400 hits now and not even 20 reviews...

I've decided to answer a few of everyone's questions! Hopefully, I don't sound like I'm mad at anyone.

Sailormillenium: No I'm not crazed, I didn't make Sesshomaru save Rin before "that" because I was just trying to add a little drama.

Vimpire-dogdemongirl89: Okay, I took you advice and I tried adding a little more detail in this chapter, so is it better now?
