Rin looked at her white tile floor with spilled cranberry juice. Her eyes blinked and then she yawned, covering her mouth she stood up and went to get the mop.

It had been six weeks since she saw Kohaku. She cleaned the floor so gently and slow really not caring if time had froze. Her mind floated back to when her father took her out of the hospital.

"What's wrong dad?" She looked at his eyes, hers full of tears. She had been taken away from the only person she could be herself with. "You can't see Kohaku any more." He said it with out yelling but calm Rin could tell he was mad, after all that's how he showed it. "Why dad? If you are worried about him hurting me I assure you he wont. Why are you doing this dad? You know I wouldn't do anything behind your back." Her eyes were fixed in his black shoes. "But you DID!" Her eyes shot to him. She couldn't believe it, she wasn't scared of him yelling just what he said, what he meant. Did he really mean that? She asked her self. Her heart was pounding fast, she was about to cry and she couldn't hold it. She burst out of the room crying her heart out because of pain.

"Rin, Rin, RIN are you listening to me?" Jaken asked his eyes full of confusion. "UH oh yeah...wait what did you say?" She looked at him and shrugged her shoulders. "Are you done with the mop?" She nodded and hand it over.

As soon as he left she glanced at the clock 10:45 PM. "I guess I will have to set the alarm early so I can finish my homework."

She slept.

Inuyasha walked through the glass doors as they opened, far away in the waiting area was Kikyo with a drawing pad.

"How are you?" He asked as he looked at her small round belly. "Oh I am fine I was just thinking about what to name my baby." She gave a cheerful smile that quickly faded away. Her eyes went sad and his heart tore into two. "Any new news?" He asked his eyes fixed in the fish tank. A moment of silence grew between them the only thing one could hear was the television and the secretary. "No...he hasn't given a sign..." She sniffed a little and before he knew, she was crying. "Kikyo go home, you and your baby need to rest, don't make so much force. I'll stay a little longer and call you if something comes up." Her eyes opened up wide, but she didn't think twice. "Thank you Inuyasha you've been so kind." She hugged him and on her way she was.

Inuyasha looked at through the window to make sure she was gone. "Uah" He yawned and put his face in his hands. He waited a few minutes until he could go see Miroku.

Kohaku was putting his running shoes on, it was dark outside but he was just running in his father's old ranch. Sango had put a light outside after their death and before they moved there. He blinked and cursed. Why did everything have to come back to that night? He needed to forget that pain.

He ran and ran with out stopping. His chest was beating fast, he gave it all his strength it was past versus him, it was past versus present. He ran and ran with sweat all over his face and his shirt drenched in it. Kohaku let himself drop in the green grass. "I want to live, live in the present not the past. I want to live here with Rin.!" He laughed at the joy it gave him to feel free.

Rin... he thought about her all the time. She understood him and took him as he was. She was his comfort and she soon was his will.

Hojo was sitting in his desk grading papers and typing them into his computer. Math and Algebra was getting hard for his students and there fore they weren't doing so great in the class.

His mind floated to Kagome... He remembered how he meet her in a coffee shop. He had studied medicine too and she had just fainted. Good thing he had vex for his runny nose. That had helped her get her sense back...

He looked at his wrist watch 11:30 it read. He was tired now and he needed to rest. He went to his room to change and then to the restroom to brush his teeth.

Hojo closed his eyes ever so softly, but maintained them close. Sleep had taken him over to dream land.

Inuyasha looked at Miroku he didn't say more then five words since he was there. Now he looked at his once strong and healthy body, that now was fragile and pale. He didn't want to say anything, but he had too. "So Miroku when are you going to wake up?" His tone wasn't sad just calm and a bit sour. "You know that Kikyo is waiting for you, and not alone." His voice was heavy now. "You need to wake up, how much time do you need? Two, three, four, five or maybe six months?" His eyes were sad but his voice raspy and angry. "Don't leave, not like this. You are not ready to leave damn it. You have a wonderful woman and a daughter or son that might get your eyes, hair and maybe wondering hand. Hahaha... You can't leave yet you know."

Inuyasha remembered a night...

"Life you suck, you think you're great. Take mine away and let me die here with out anything." He had been drunk, and worse he took an bunch of drugs. "Come on lets go..." He herd a voice. "Who are you? Leave me here alone I am just minutes away of getting what I want. Leave!" His eyes were sad. "No I wont let you die...come on. I am Miroku Yamamoto. You need help and I am not going to let you die here not after I witnessed you." Inuyasha looked at him with the widest eyes he could make. "You are crazy you know!" Miroku just laughed. "Yeah I know."

End of memory.

"You can't leave like that you know. I wont let you die this time..." His voice fainted away. He looked at him again, those blue eyes that were kind to him one day were asleep for now, but he knew he was going to see them again one day.

Sango was in her room laying down, making note cards for her to study her next final. Her vision went blurry for an instance, "Is that you Kohaku?" She looked forcing her eyes to open. And then it went all back to her note cards. Her vision disappeared. "Weird...Koha.ku. Kohaku!"

She rushed to see where he was and only to find him in his room asleep. "Oh god you gave me a fright. Haha." She walked slowly back to her bedroom. She was too tired she didn't even noticed.

"Tern, tern, tern...Uh oh..Hello?" She answered her phone. "Inuyasha it's you. How are you?" She asked really not remembering how long it had been since they talked. "Oh okay...so what are you going to do?" Her voice was a bit out of place. "Oh...can you come?" She asked. Her voice was inviting, she had been having night. "Okay I'll wait...bye." She hanged the phone and looked at it.

Few minutes later she herd a faint knock and went to get it. Inuyasha was in the upper step sitting down. She closed the door behind her and joined him. He didn't speak, just looked at her with a softness she never had seen. "Inuyasha, Miroku is strong. Don't worry." He tugged her close. "Sango..." She took his lips leaving him surprise. "Lets go in." She said as she tilted her head towards the door. He stood up and went inside holding her hands. Holding her close because he missed her. He really did even, if he didn't admit it at times. He did.

"Don't kill them, it isn't there fault. Let them go please... Noooooooo!" They had just shot his parents. "My voice, my movements." He didn't run to them, he just saw them fall dead to the ground..."Rin, what are you doing here?" He looked at her, she seemed to be crying. Her arms and legs were covered with bruises. "What happened Rin?" He asked his voice had actually returned. "Kohaku..." She got shot. His heart was broken, what was left...Sango? "Don't say my name Kohaku...uh...I know you are thinking it don't say my name." Her eyes went sad and tears rolled down, as the man kicked her. "He suddenly herd a strong voice, a voice that somehow manipulated him. "Give your life so she can live." He looked at her. The gun was ten steps away. He picked it up and pointed it to his head. "Nooo! Kohaku don't do it!" Her voiced ringed his head. " I have too..."

"SANGOOOOO!" He yelled. His body, his covers drenched in sweat. "It was a dream..." He looked at his hands, touched his head. "Are you okay?" Sango burst in the door. "Yeah... it was just a dream. It looked so real. Sango I was afraid of loosing you too. I lost father, mother and then Rin...I looked at you and I shot my self so you could live." He started crying. "I was so scared Sango." She looked at him. "Shh, come on you need to rest, it was a silly dream don't worry about it." She sang a few songs to him. She always did it when he was young, and she would continue to do the same.

She stayed with him until she knew he was asleep. "I love you Kohaku." She said kissed his fore head and went back down to Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru was tired but he needed to finish the papers for the new children's house. Children... Rin was his daughter... It had been six weeks since she talked to him. The only words she would say were (yes, no, okay, pass the (food), please, thanks.) Was I to hard to her? He thought. His head began to hurt and he drank some water.

As he looked over some of Rin's papers he found her progress report card. English 80, History 92, Algebra 95, Science 75, P.E. 100, Art 92. He was happy with her scores and the comments.

Mr. Yamamoto: Rin is doing very well in P.E. and World History. She participates in every event and asks questions when help is needed. Keep the good Job Rin.

Lady Kikyo: Rin is a remarkable young woman. She has a hidden talent that she expresses in her art. I am so happy I have her as my after school student.

Mr. Keitaro: Yo brother, oh yeah Rin is a good student. She participates and rocks her soccer team. Good Job. : )

Mr. Akitoki, Hojo: Rin is doing great. Algebra is a struggle for every student but she is doing good. Keep the good job.

Ms.Taija, Sango : Rin is so wonderful. I love her as if she were my daughter. She is doing vere good in her classes. And she is a master in Karate and Self Defense.

Sesshoumaru smiled at the comments, he was proud. He looked at the piles and found the next report card. History 80, Science 69, P.E. 90, Math 78, English 74, Art 100... " Her scores dropped." He muttered.

He looked at her Art score 100. Then at Lady Kikyo's comment.

Rin is doing great in Art, but she has dropped her grades. If there is any problem please don't hesitate on contacting me at anytime. 713- 155-2357. I hope everything will get better.

"Kikyo..." He remembered looking at her in the hospital. Dark eyes, long brown hair. Pale skin. Her eyes were sad. He knew she was pregnant the way she would massage her round yet still small belly. He thought about sending her some roses and know he knew he would. "Lady Kikyo thank you for taking care of my daughter."

He closed all his folders and put them in his portfolio. He was tired. Sesshomaru went to his room. Where he found Rin sleeping. He covered her and went to her side. "Hush my little girl don't say a word, papa is gonna buy you a mocking bird if that monking bird wont sing papa is going to buy you..." He forgot the rhyme and kissed her fore head. "I love you Rin, even if sometimes I can't show you. I love you." He laid her head in his legs and petted her hair. He slept sitting down.

Inuyasha hold Sango in his hands. She slept and he did too, but he woke up. Her face was so soft and something was missing in her eyes, that even closed looked sad. He kissed her lips. They were cold... "What..." He said as she grabbed him by the neck to deepened the kiss. "Damn you're a fast one." He teased. She looked at his eyes and he was grinning. She let go off his neck and looked down. "I'm sorry..." She muttered. What the heck is she talking about? He asked himself. Inuyasha was about to ask what she was talking about, but she interrupted. "I've been asking for so much and you need to be by Miroku's side. I am glad you came. I miss you, and I understand. Forgive me Inuyasha" She said as she hugged him letting her head fall down to his side. Inuyasha watched as Sango cried. She is crying? "No don't worry..." He kissed her and hold her in his arms until both felled into deep slumber.

"Hahahahaha...you are not off my grip. I hunt you...you will pay me for all that crap I sold to you. You took it gladly. You were stupid to think that shit would help you forget. Well it did I'll give you that, but only for a moment. Now your life is destroyed Kohaku... That sister of yours will be mine as well..." The man looked at his notes. Over some deals. Typed Kohaku's name in a file and found his house. "Hahahahaha, this isn't over not until you pay." He smiled a dirty look.

Rin opened her eyes and yawned. She looked around and noticed she was in her fathers bed. I must've fallen asleep while I thought. Her eyes looked at what she was sitting in and saw her dad. She lightly jumped out of his arms. She didn't mean to ignore him all these weeks...it's just that she couldn't. Rin left immediately. Sorry dad.

She went to her room and looked at it. "I've changed quite a lot haven't I?" She asked. She didn't expect to hear anything being replied, but she did. "It's part of life Rin." She turned around to see her "uncle" Inuyasha. Her head tilted to a side and looked at him straight to his eyes. She hesitated a while. "Yeah... I know. What brings you here?" She asked. "Oh this old guy like me...well I was wondering if your father would let you go to see a movie and the amusement park. Wanna come?" He looked at the way she pierced his eyes that had something missing. They were lonely. "Yeah, I'll ask." She smiled and left. Inuyasha sat in her bed looking around. "Well if this is what she used to like then yup she has changed." He said as he nodded his head. He knew Kohaku had impacted her life.

"Yeah, I can go to the amusement park and the movie, but I have to be here by nine." Her face had no expression. "Okay, change I want to go talk to your father before we leave." She nodded and he left.

"What is wrong with you? She looks sad." He asked as he looked deep into his brothers piercing gray eyes. "I haven't done anything to her. I separated her from him because it was for the best. Besides I don't have to explain my self to you little brother." He gave a wicked smile and went back to his duties. Inuyasha was leaving but before he left he stopped. "She is growing up and sooner or later she will leave. Sesshoumaru she is growing up, going through emotions...something that neither you or her can control." He walked out and Sesshoumaru was left in thought.

Few moments later he looked at the phone and dialed a number. "...Yeah hello, I would like to send a mixture of kikyo's , ayame's and kaedes to Lady Kikyo. Apartment 203 in the Fragment Apartments." He hanged the phone...
