Hidden Feelings

Disclaimer: Inuyasha does not belong to me (well, I wished I own it), but I own the plot.

Age: Sesshomaru: 20, Rin: 17, Sango: 18, Kohaku: 17, Kagura:19

A/N: Before you begin reading this, I must tell you that Sesshomaru and Kagura might seem to be out of character. Flames are welcome, though, partly because my English isn't up to standard (I'm so pessimistic). (Hee hee hee, I haven't shown my true self YET, so you might never know when I might go insane. Just be warned.) Oh and both the title and the chapter title sucks and I know it very well.

Chapter One: Six years later

Due to the fearsome fight with Naraku, Sesshomaru was exhausted. He was thinking about how he could defeat Naraku, his arch rival. He was resting on a hilltop.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken called out. Sesshomaru was so deep in thought that he was oblivious to who was calling him.

"SESSHOMARU-SAMA!" Jaken shouted again. This, however, snapped him out of his trance from how he could defeat Naraku.

"Nani?" Sesshomaru replied, clearly annoyed.

Jaken, who was frightened by his Lord's glare, just stammered a "Er...er...nothing."

Sesshomaru went back thinking of defeating Naraku after being irritated by Jaken. He was also wondering why he was so eager to kill Naraku in the first place. Is it because he wanted to be good to mankind? Is it because he wants to free Kagura? No, he thought, she's my enemy's ally. I can't possibly like her. Or is it because he wants to avenge for Rin's death? But she's just a human girl, he thought.

Just thinking about Rin made him sad. He most probably missed her, since he started to remember the way she was so lively and cheerful; the way she always finds a way to cheer him up when he's gloomy, but of course, he never showed that he was cheered up; the way she called out "Sesshomaru-sama!" to him. But that's six years ago, he thought...

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken called out again.

Arrghh! That pesky voice! Why can't he shut up for once? he thought.

"Jaken, that was not amusing. It's irritating," he said.

"Er...well...just to tell you Kagura's here..."Jaken's voice trailed off.

"Yo!" Kagura said cheerfully as she landed down.

Sesshomaru didn't say anything. He didn't seem surprised that Kagura came. But he found it weird since he didn't smell Kagura's scent at first.

"Just to see whether you are alive and kicking,'" Kagura said when she realised no one's talking.

"Go away. I have no time for you, "Sesshomaru had no expression on his face. He began to walk away.

Anger surged through Kagura. She seemed taken aback by his attitude towards her as well. How can he be that so cold to me? she thought. A/N: If you don't know what I'm talking about, please wait for me to write the next chappie, as there will be a flashback of what happened six years ago.

She was pissed off by his coldness. She took out her feather and went flying back to Naraku's castle.

Later...

Sesshomaru walked to the nearby forest. He strolled for about quite some time until he heard a human shouted for help. He caught the human's scent and walked towards him.

"What the hell is happening?" he asked.

"AH! YOU ARE A DEMON! SHOO, YOU PESKY YOUKAI!" the human seemed frightened to see Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru gripped the human's neck and held him high. "Tell me what happened," he demanded.

"A- a demon-" the human coughed, "A- demon -attacked- our -village."

Sesshomaru loosened his grip and walked away. He could see a flaming village from afar. When he came to the village, all the villagers ran in different directions, fleeing away from the fire. It was total chaos.

Then he realized not all villagers were running away, some were already dead, lying on the ground. A/N:I know my grammar sucks, so please don't comment on this. He drew out his sword, Tenseiga and killed the Messengers from Hell. He didn't know why he was so compassionate. He continued walking and came across a girl in her teenage years.

She had long, ebony hair. Flawless skin, he noticed. Nice facial features. She was wearing a orange kimono. She looked just like Rin, only she was much taller and take on a much womanly shape. She had a gush on her left shoulder and she was walking off-balance due to the throbbing pain, but she was not bothered by it at all. In fact, she seemed happy to see Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru-sama! It's already been six years since we part. I miss you a lot, do you miss me?" she asked in this familiar, sweet voice.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked. The he realized that face, that voice and that scent... that scent was so familiar! He knew who she was. But before he could say anything, she already began to speak.

"I'm Rin."

Heh, so how was it? Is it good and long enough? I mean, this is my first try anyway... But wateva, please please review! muacks
PS: I'll write what happened six years ago in the next chappie, so please be patient!
