Disclaimer: "Inuyasha" and it's characters do NOT belong to me, of course everyone already knows that.

Well, I got nothing to say, here's chapter 5. Please read and review.

Chapter 5

It seemed as if time around her froze when Naraku entered the cell, as if she were the only person that existed in the one moment. Rin looked up into Naraku's red eyes; she held so much hatred for him. Of course she hated him; the man had done unspeakable things to her and had injured Sesshomaru. She continued to keep her eye on Sesshomaru, who was now standing, she knew it he was going to try to fight again.

Why doesn't he understand that he can't fight anymore? Maybe he's just stubborn, or maybe he's trying to protect me. Does he know how I feel about him, is that why he won't give up? What am I gonna do, I need to help him get us out of here.

Her thoughts were interrupted as another fight broke out between the two demons. She stayed hunched down in the corner of the cell to avoid being hit, she didn't want to watch, she wanted to break up the fight, she wanted to cry but she couldn't.

I know that I have to be strong if I want to get out of this place anytime soon. I can't allow myself to cry, I wouldn't want Sesshomaru-sama to see my tears.

The fight between the two demons raged on, it seemed as if it would go on forever and never end. Sesshomaru was trying not to hit Rin but, fighting was hard in such a small place. It was obvious that Naraku thought that being in such a small place would make him an easier opponent.

Finally, after a 15 minute fight, Sesshomaru had Naraku pinned to the ground.

"Naraku, how would you like to die?" Sesshomaru asked emotionlessly as he hovered over Naraku with his claws extended.

Naraku looked up at Sesshomaru and chuckled, "I not going to be the one that's dying," he grabbed Sesshomaru's arm and threw him into the closest wall, "you are."

Rin watched in horror as the already injured Sesshomaru was thrown against the wall beside her. She jumped up quickly and rushed to his side, making sure to keep her eyes on Naraku, "Sesshomaru-sama, please get up, please." she begged.

The injured dog-demon gave no response, he was exhausted, and there was no way he would get up to fight again.

"So, you want to help your precious Sesshomaru? That won't be happening, not today." Naraku threatened.

"Let me alone, I'll do what I want. You don't scare me, you don't control me either." Rin said letting her confidence show just a little too much.

Naraku started walking toward her, "Oh, I don't control you? I believe I do."

This is not happening. No, I won't allow myself to get stuck in this disgusting place and I definitely won't allow Sesshomaru-sama to die. But how am I going to keep Naraku away?

She looked over to the corner of the cell and noticed Sesshomaru's sword, Tokijin, sitting on the floor just by Kagura's feet.

How could I get Kagura's attention without Naraku noticing?

Almost as if Kagura had been reading her mind she kicked the Tokijin over to her quickly. Rin caught the sword and stood up just in front of Naraku.

Why would Kagura help me? I don't have time to think about that! I have a weapon now and the man I want to kill is standing just in front of me...

Rin took a deep breath and, as quickly as she could, she pushed the sword out in front of her. She had never had to do anything like this before, never had a hold a sword in her hands, nevertheless use one. She had felt the blade make contact with Naraku's flesh, but she was afraid to look up, afraid of what she might see. She pulled the sword back and dropped it on the ground by her feet; blood covered it from the tip to the handle, seeing the blood nearly made her gag.

A hand landed softly on her shoulder, she turned slowly to face Sesshomaru sitting just behind her.

"Sesshomaru-sama, I was so scared. So scared." Rin said as a tear fell from her left eye.

"Rin, you did what I couldn't." Sesshomaru sounded confused.

Finally, she decided to look at what she had just done. Naraku was on the floor bleeding to death, if he wasn't already dead.

I can't believe that I did that just now. I just killed someone... I killed someone, just like those theives killed mother and father, I'm just as bad as them. But I had a good reason, didn't I? Yes, I would have been killed if I hadn't killed him.

"Sesshomaru-sama, we can leave now can't we?" Rin asked hopefully.

"Yes Rin, we are leaving now." he answered as he started walking toward the exit.

Rin looked over at Kagura, she couldn't just leave her there, she knew what it felt like to be locked up that way and Kagura had helped her to get out so she should do the same. "Kagura, where are the keys to your shackles?"

"You're going to help me? Not something I expected, the keys are in Naraku's shirt."

Rin walked over to Naraku's dead body lying on the floor and reached into his shirt.

Sesshomaru came back to the cell door, "Rin, hurry up."

Rin nodded her head as she quickly unlocked Kagura's shackles. "Why would you help me?" Kagura asked.

"I'm only doing for you what you did for me, that's how my parents taught me." Rin answered as she walked off with Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru walked through the forest with Rin, he knew that Naraku wasn't dead only in hiding for awhile until he found a new victim.

I couldn't tell her that he isn't dead, she honestly believes that she has killed Naraku. I wouldn't want to scare her by telling her the truth either, she might worry about him coming back.

He dropped the idea of talking to her about it and continued walking.

Finally, it was all over, she was back home and everyone was okay, she was happy for that.

Rin sat down on the cut tree stump again, she had only been gone for about 2 days but, she missed this place. She looked up, Sesshomaru was walking over, and he sat down next to her on the tree stump.

"Rin, I remembered your birthday. Only your present is late." he said as he pulled out the necklace he had gotten for her. He put it on her neck for her and turned his face away.

Rin looked at the necklace she had just been given, it was beautiful, only Sesshomaru was acting a bit strange.

This is the right time, at least I think so. I need to tell him how I feel right now, if I can bring myself to say it.

"Sesshomaru-sama, thank you. I love it... and I love you." Rin stuttered.

"Rin, love isn't a feeling that I need or understand." Sesshomaru said emotionlessly.

Rin couldn't hold it back, she could make him understand her feelings, and she would. Quickly, she put her hand on his shoulder, leaned toward him and kissed him. Amazingly, he kissed her back, he understood love; everyone with a heart does. They let go of the kiss and turned away from each other in embarrassment.

She looked up into the sky and saw a shooting star. Is that the same star as I saw the other night? I think it is.

Rin whispered softly to the star, "Thank you."

"What was that Rin?" Sesshomaru asked after hearing her whisper.

She turned to face Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru-sama, I'm so happy. I'm so happy that I'm here with you."

She smiled and amazingly, Sesshomaru smiled back.

The End

Well, there it is the last chapter... I hate ending things, but every story has to have an ending. I'm thinking about making a sequel to this but it might be a bit strange, so I'll think on that for a while. Thanks to all of you who have been reviewing and for all of you that haven't please review.

A few of you were wondering about chapter 4, I did rush through it which is why it was kind of sloppy. Oh and just to let everyone know, I'm working on an idea for a new story right now, all I know is it's going to be about Sango.
