(A/n): I'd like to give a BIG HUG to my two reviewers! YOU GUYS ROCK MY SOX OFF! 3
This chapter is pretty much just Rin's perspective on being unconscious.

Chapter Four: Imaginary
Swallowed
up in the sound of my screaming-
Cannot cease for the fear of
silent nights…
Rin felt herself slipping off the edge, plunging deeper into an endless cold. Was this death…? It didn't feel like dying…
Oh
how I long for the deep sleep dreaming-
The goddess of imaginary
light…
It was… Almost nice. Enjoyable… If only it was a bit warmer… But it was warmer than the cold that had previously haunted her. Was she in heaven…?
In my field of paper flowers-
And candy
clouds of lullaby…
No, this wasn't heaven. This wasn't hell. This wasn't even death. This was the in-between, where you go in a coma, almost over the edge…
I
lie inside myself for hours-
And watch my purple sky fly over me!
Somewhere in here, was bliss, relief from the pains that scarred everything that ever touched the accursed earth. It wasn't fun, or falling, or flying, just… floating. Like everything you thought was real never really mattered…
I linger in the doorway-
Of alarm
clock screaming…
Monsters calling my name-
There was a voice from somewhere, echoing through the great emptiness. Someone calling her back from this dangerous, peaceful brink of death.
Let
me stay!
Where the wind will whisper to me!
Where the raindrops
as they're falling tell a story!
'But I like it here!' Rin wanted to protest. Here, where she could forget… But the voice came again. It was calling to her, etched with desperation and swiftly losing hope. It wasn't a physical voice, it was just there… Not calling her name, not even making a sound, yet as loud and clear as the morning bell.
If you
need to leave the world you live in-
Lay your head down and stay
awhile!
Rin felt her spirit being tugged back, but she didn't fight, merely waited. She had no control over this, that strange voice was calling her back.
Though
you may not remember dreaming-
Something waits for you to breathe
again!
Following the sound of the voice, her spirit flew up towards a blinding light. Someone was drawing her out, the mere desperation pulling on her heart, back to reality. She knew that voice… She had heard it once before… But that time it had been hard. It had sliced clean through her, drawing her out of death itself…
In my field of
paper flowers-
And candy clouds of lullaby…
And then she was back. Back in a painful form, where hurt came swiftly and healing was slow. She slowly opened her eyes, and reached out towards the source of warm light. But it was hot, and she quickly drew her hand back before she became burnt.
I
lie inside myself for hours-
And watch my purple sky fly over me…
"But
then… If I'm not dead…" She whispered, painfully pushing
herself into a sitting position. She turned around, and let out a
gasp.
"Sesshoumaru-Sama!" She cried hoarsely, throwing herself onto him. She buried her face into his fur, contenting herself with the knowledge that she was with him again.
"You saved me, Sesshoumaru-Sama," She smiled. She should have known. Eight or eighteen, her Sesshoumaru would always come to save her.
Happy ending!
Okay so I lied. Ish. The fire didn't bring her back, some freakish voice did. Hwai, I LOVE that concept! Prods it
Hwai… A new word… Yayness!
Anyways. In case you didn't notice, the ending of this chapter is just copy-paste of the last one. I did that on purpose, foo's!
I'll update if I find another Evanescence song to use.
