Wow! I couldn't believe that I made some people cry! Now I feel kind of guilty… but anyways, thanks to all the reviewers who had… well, reviewed my stories! And sorry about the cliffy… :)

Until I Return

Chapter 2

I walked around the perimeter for what seemed like the millionth time. Of course, being an angel, my feet never did touch the ground. I just floated a bit. The very thought still scares me.

I sighed and leaned against a tree. Ah, how I loved trees. They're leaves gently caressed my skin, making me forget about my troubles… for about, oh, three seconds.

Then reality sunk in again.

I had my mission as a death angel.

The hunter is about to become the hunted.

'I miss you, Sesshoumaru.'

HUH?

Did I just think that?

No. I wasn't thinking about him!

Okay, I was. However, I didn't think about missing him right now.

Someone else thought that.

Someone else on Earth thought that…

…And I am the only angel on Earth right now.

Sesshoumaru's P. O. V.

I walked around the perimeter for what seemed like the millionth time. Things sure wasn't exciting as it used to be…

…When I still had her.

I shook my head violently. Here I was, thinking about her again. I have thought about her for the last fifty years. I still remember my promise…

…But I couldn't find her anywhere.

Rin's P. O. V.

I found him.

He was patrolling his lands like I was. I sniffed and remembered the times I went with him.

NO!

I shook my head and groaned. This was the first day of my mission and I already forgotten about my goal!

I need to focus.

After all, I said I'll do anything for him…

But this is one thing that I cannot afford to mess up.

Goodbye, Lord Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru's P. O. V.

I stiffened and sniffed around.

Someone is watching me.

I thought about who it could be.

Inuyasha? No, we stopped fighting…mostly.

Naraku? Dead.

Kagura? Dead.

Kanna? Dead.

Someone seeking revenge? Possibly. I do have many enemies. Then again, they must be very foolish to dare and challenge me.

Mimoko? Indisposed. Besides, she was a coward.

…Rin? Dead.

I sighed.

Rin…Come back soon…

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

Here I was, minding my own business, when I felt something.

Danger.

I scofffed at that thought. Not likely. True, there still were many bad guys after Naraku died, but they were all so weak.

No, the danger I felt would be subtle in its ways…

I need to warn Sesshoumaru.

I mentally shook my head.

No, I do not need to warn Sesshoumaru.

It is because of him that Rin died. And even though I wouldn't admit it, Rin was like my own child, and I know Kagome felt that way too.

Still, he did realize he made a mistake, even though it was too late.

Scrolls dedicated to the "legend" were written, and many women scoffed at Rin's actions, while others supported it.

I snorted.

Women.

Couldn't they just make up their minds?

But back to the problem at hand. Should I go warn Sesshoumaru?

Should I?

...For Rin's sake?
