RECAP:

"Ugh…" Rin let out a small moan and Shessomaru sighed in relief. She wasn't dead. He picked up Rin's mangled body and began walking towards the exit.

"Come Jaken."

"Yes, Milord."

Once they were out in the moonlight, Shessomaru jumped up and sped towards his castle, hoping with all his heart and soul that she would make it.

NOW:

Shessomaru paced nervously around his room, a thousand questions, doubts, fears, and alien feelings echoed through his mind. The past few hours seemed like a blurred nightmare. The only thing he knew for sure was that Rin was hurt and it was Naraku who was responsible. Rin was in her room with the demon healers who were (hopefully) mending Rin to full health. Shessomaru growled to himself. How could he let this happen? He could've gotten to her sooner, but he didn't! Drowned in his own thoughts, Shessomaru didn't notice one of the demon healers open the door.

"Lord Shessomaru." He squeaked, trying to keep his voice steady, which was nearly impossible under the gaze of the fuming Western Lord.

"What is it?" Shessomaru barked.

"It's Lady Rin. The wounds she had received were poisoned. They aren't closing quickly enough and we fear she'll bleed to death or die of the poison." This was not what Shessomaru wanted to hear. He rounded on the Demon Healer and shattered the vase on the table only inches away form him.

"LEAVE, NOW!" The Demon Healer bowed and retreated hurriedly to escape the scorching wrath of the demon. Shessomaru didn't know what else to do but demolish everything in sight until he calmed down.

Shessomaru stood in the middle of his room, now covered in fragments of what had once been furniture. All he could think of was to see Rin, which he wasn't too sure of. But it was better than atomizing everything within view. He maintained stoicism and stepped into the hallway towards Rin's room.

The demon healers parted when Shessomaru passed. His impassive face showing no sign of emotion while his insides writhed with calenture. Shessomaru stopped at the door as one of the demon healers stood in front of it.

"Lady Rin is in no condition to see anyone, my lord." He informed. Shessomaru brushed past him, not taking in account what was just said. Rin lay on her bed, two healers tending to her. The sight of this was heart wrenching, and Shessomaru hated it. He felt too vulnerable having so much feeling. Killing thousands of men didn't bother him enough to spare a second thought, but just one human could touch the heart he barely remembered having.

"Leave." He ordered them.

"But, my Lord," One protested. Shessomaru shot him a glare any living being would fear. Both bowed respectfully and left the room. Shessomaru sat next to Rin's bed. Her face was covered with beads of sweat as her face creased in pain. Tears crawled from the corners of her closed eyes as her dampened hair clung to her forehead. Shessomaru pulled back the covers to inspect Rin's newly acquired wounds. Bloody bandages wrapped around her stomach and shoulders. Rin shivered and Shessomaru pulled the covers back over her.

"Rin." He spoke, keeping his voice steady. Rin's eyes opened just enough for Shessomaru too see her chocolate eyes.

"Lord Shessomaru…" She murmured. "I-I'm sorry."

"Do not be sorry, Rin. I should be the one apologizing. I should have gotten to you sooner." Rin smiled weakly as she closed her eyes again. It must've been the first time she had ever heard him apologize.

"Thank you." She muttered. Rin's breathing slowed as she fell into sleep, looking much more relaxed.

Shessomaru sat beside her, contemplating his next move. If she survived, he wasn't sure what would happen next, but if she died… He actually wasn't sure what to do either. He had only seen her dead once, but it wasn't as terrible if he saw her dead now. Dying twice was enough for one person. But there was the Tensaiga! He'd used it before hadn't he? So it would work again, right? Working on this new theory, Shessomaru left the room to try to meditate.

Two days passed and Rin had not gotten any better, but worse. Her wounds still bled as if she had just gotten them, and her fever continued to rise. Each day Shessomaru grew more tense and edgy, and blew off steam by walking in the garden or beating the living daylights out of Jaken.

This was a day in which Shessomaru had told Jaken to some meaningless task after beating him to a pulp, and was roaming though the garden. The sky overflowed with rain clouds and the sun was completely hidden. Rin was dying, and Shessomaru knew it. If he didn't do something fast, he'd lose her. Day after day he'd stroll through the garden wondering what he could do. Day after day, all attempts failed and Rin got worse.

"My lord," A demon healer approached Shessomaru. "Lady Rin, she won't make it. She has till tonight."
