Chapter 6: Rin
The gang then proceeded to go to Japan. They talked with Japanese Intelligence and found out that the girl was still in Sesshomaru's possession. So they were then told to go to Sesshomaru's little apartment in Tokyo and talk to him about the girl. When they got there they found it to be a plain apartment building with four apartments to a floor. They found the right apartment and came to 3489. Inuyasha knocked while Kagome, Sango, and Miroku stood behind him. The door opened to reveal an emotionless Sesshomaru in a sharp black suit like the two FBI agents currently wore. Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow at the young adults and frowned.
"What do you want little brother?" asked Sesshomaru in his usual monotone voice with a slight hint of arrogance to it.
Inuyasha glared up at him. "Im here because of the little girl, Rin I think her name is, we need to talk to her about something." Said Inuyasha gruffly. Sesshomaru's frown deepened and he stepped aside to allow them in with little protest. When Kagome stepped into the room she immediately felt a chill. She got a strange feeling from this place and she couldn't figure out why. She and the others were led to the sitting room and Kagome looked around trying to figure out why she had this hollow dull feeling, the air almost seemed heavy with dullness. Why'll they sat in silence Sesshomaru noticed the state of distress the girl was in and looked at her.
"You might have noticed that there isn't a single electronic device in this apartment. Rin is not permitted to have anything remotely close to an electronic, not even a watch. She has gone cold turkey from such things for more than two years and the only thing she has close to her old life is a library of books on all types of electronics." Sesshomaru explained. Kagome blinked and surprise and looked around. They windows were open to let in a breeze, the vents having been purposefully covered by furniture. There wasn't a clock in the house, no TV, no microwave, refrigerator even. Even the plugs in the walls were covered. Kagome shuddered, no wonder this place gave her the creeps. The other three hadn't noticed the strange atmosphere but did think what Sesshomaru said to be interesting.
"Is she that dangerous with an electronic device?" Asked Miroku skeptically.
"She isn't really dangerous; she just goes a little over board when it comes to anything electronic. If I were to give her anything electronic she would surely destroy it trying to figure out how it worked and how to make it better. Her obsession for being the best hacker led her to join the Knights in the first place." Said Sesshomaru.
There was a short silence which was interrupted by the opening of the front door. There in the door way stood a ten year old girl in a Catholic school uniform, similar to Kagome's old one but a different school, she had her hair partly down and a small side ponytail, her large brown eyes scanned the group in her living room as she slowly set her book bag down on the floor. "What's going on?" asked Rin. Sesshomaru nodded to Kagome.
"You may speak to her, but only you, I don't want all of you pestering my charge." And with that Sesshomaru led the others to the dining room to continue talking. Kagome watched them leave and then looked at Rin who stared at her in wonder.
"Uhhh…" Kagome started awkwardly. "Wanna sit down first?" she asked indicating the couch. Rin nodded slowly and took a seat on the couch. Kagome sat a foot or two away from her and stared at the young girl.
Kagome opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Rin. "Hello Kagome, it's been awhile." Said Rin kindly. The awkwardness broke and Kagome smiled down at the young girl.
"Yeah it has, you were much smaller when I last saw you." Kagome laughed. Rin smiled proudly.
"Thanks! So what do you want to talk to me about?" asked Rin.
"Well…I know now about you being one of the Knights. I want you to tell me about them." Said Kagome seriously.
Rin's smile slipped and she looked off into space. "Im sorry. I didn't want anyone to get hurt…I was a low level Knight and I didn't know what was going on." Said Rin in an almost daze. Seeing Kagome give her an encouraging look made her continue. "The Knights are a secret society with a combination of wizards, witches, and all sorts of demons, and a few humans here and there like me of course. They have been controlling the web secretly for a long time and only recently have they begun to show up on the radar. They are all the best hackers you can find on the internet and nearly impossible to capture. They do all sorts of illegal stuff on the web, but they currently have their eyes set on corrupting the real world too. That is why they teamed up with Voldemort, they told me that what they were doing for Voldemort is hiding the remaining horcruxes on the Wired. No one knows where they are and if they aren't destroyed it'll be impossible for Voldemort to be defeated."
"Horcruxes, those are the pieces of Voldemort's soul that the Order told me about." Kagome said softly to herself. They'll never find them if they are on the Wired…
"Unfortunately to keep the exact whereabouts of the horcruxes a secret they only had their best hacker hide them and then he ends up dead. Naraku was the leader of the Knights and was the one who hid the horcruxes. Now that he's dead not even Voldemort knows where they are and that isn't too reassuring. All they know is they need the best hacker out there to find the horcruxes. They've deemed that person you Kagome." Said Rin.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Why me!"
"Because…you are famous on the Wired for being the most talented hacker around. They are now trying to capture you and if you refuse to help them they will most definitely try to find a way to kill you." Said Rin.
"Well….I cant just let these horcrux things float around on the Wired!" said Kagome.
"Then you need to find them without getting captured by the Knights." Said Rin. "Although…If you had another talented hacker with you it might make the job easier…" she said while blinking up at Kagome hopefully.
Kagome gave her a dead pan look and then remembered something. "Hey, um do you know why the Knights killed this girl named Shiori a couple years ago?"
Rin saddened slightly. "I heard about that. Yeah, she was trying to find the location of the Knights to stop them and she almost figured it out so they had to kill her." Kagome felt a tug at her heart and her eyes hardened, she would not let them get away with that. She'll find these Knights herself and stop them. Sesshomaru strode back in with the others and Kagome stood up.
"Sesshomaru-sama. I need Rin's help with something on the Wired can she please be allowed to assist me?" asked Kagome formally.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and then at Rin. When he saw the hopeful look on her face he felt himself cave in. "Ill think about it." He said flatly.
"C'mon Kagome. We gotta go." Said Inuyasha irritated by something.
"Why?" asked Kagome.
Inuyasha glanced at her and then glared at the front door. "I gotta go talk to my old man before we leave Japan tomorrow. Hey! If you decide to let her go then just bring her to the White House and we'll take care of her!" Inuyasha called to Sesshomaru as they all left.
AN: Hey! Sorry It took so long to update! My internet wasn't working….im sorry this isn't very long and a little boring, more exciting stuff to come in the next chapter I promise!
