Find My Way Back

-Ch. 2- The Quest has Begun

Rin's eyes fluttered open as the bright sunlight from outside poured through her window, into her room. A smile hit her lips as she sat up to stretch. Taking a peek at her clock, Rin squealed in excitement at the date it was showing. She quickly threw on some clothes and raced out her room.

"Rin, what did I tell you about running in the house?" Sesshoumaru asked from the table, reading the paper nonchalantly.

"Sorry, Daddy, but I have to hurry." Rin said panting as she carried out a large suitcase from the hall closet.

Sesshoumaru raised one eyebrow and turned to look at the raven-haired teenager carrying the suitcase back to her room. "Rin." He spoke

Rin's head snapped up and she set the suitcase down to look at her guardian. "Yes?"

"What are you doing with that suitcase?" Sesshoumaru asked in a cool and calm voice.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! I told you so many times! Yesterday I turned eighteen; I have to go to Tokyo to see Kohaku!" She wailed.

"I don't remember any such thing." Sesshoumaru turned back to the paper he was reading.

Rin sighed in frustration. "Sesshoumaru, I told you yesterday!" His response was a mere shrug. Rin hung her head and carried the suitcase back to her room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rin smiled happily as she packed things into her suitcase. She was finally, after four years, seeing her true love again. She sighed and patted all the clothes down into the suitcase, looking around for something else she should pack. A large green bunny caught her eye, causing her to gasp and run up to it.

"Usagi-chan!" She shouted hugging the stuffed rabbit who now was missing two eyes and a tail. Gently placing the worn stuffed animal into her suitcase, she zipped it up and carried it happily out of her room.

Inuyasha stood out the hall waiting for her. "Hey, you ready to go?" He asked patting her head. Rin smiled and nodded.

"Bye, Rin." Kagura said, hugging the girl as if she were holding on for dear life. Rin wrapped her arms around Kagura's back and said her goodbyes as well. Sesshoumaru stuck a hand out for her to shake, but Rin pushed it aside and glomped him.

"Thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama." She said, as a tear fell down her cheek. Sesshoumaru reluctantly patted her back and sighed.

"For what?" He asked. Rin lifted her tear-stained face and peered up at him.

"For being there for me." Sesshoumaru was taken aback, but hugged her back.

They released each other and Rin wiped her tears away, running to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha.." Sesshoumaru spoke.

"What is it now?" Inuyasha asked grabbing Rin's bags.

"Take care of Rin." Sesshoumaru finished in a cold voice. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned around.

"Yeah, yeah, come one Rin!" Rin gave her foster parents a final wave goodbye and followed after her uncle.

Once they were gone, Kagura turned to Sesshoumaru. "Did you really forget about her promise with Kohaku?" Sesshoumaru sighed.

"I have far too many things to deal with to remember all about Rin's love life. That's your job." Kagura rolled her eyes and took a seat next to him.

Inuyasha had slept the whole time on the plane, leaving Rin stuck in between two men snoring their heads off. Upon arrival, Inuyasha began to stir and managed to poke Rin in the eye and thus, after arrival, they found themselves buying an ice pack in the airport.

"For crying out loud, Rin!" Inuyasha shouted looking in his wallet. "If we don't get a hotel now, I'm totally blaming you.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Yasha, it just hurt really badly." Rin said in her defense, covering her eye with the pack. Inuyasha grumbled something as they walked through the airport.

"I called Sango about this…" Rin started. "There should be a girl named Kagome looking for us." Rin finished looking around the airport.

"Why do we need some one to pick us up?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, do you know your way around Tokyo?" Rin stopped and looked up at him, waiting for his response.

"Well… no… but…"

"Ah, that must be her!" Rin shouted upon spotting a girl with raven locks holding up a sign that read, "Rin and Iniyusha"

"Hello, Kagome-sama?" Rin asked once they reached the girl. Kagome beamed and nodded.

"Hey, what the hell?" Inuyasha barked reading the sign. "Can you not spell or something? It's In-u-ya-sha!" Rin turned to him.

"I didn't specify how to spell your name over the phone, Uncle Yasha."

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha." Kagome said. "I just had to hurry and thought that might have been what Rin told me.

"Well think a little harder next time, wench!" He shouted. Rin gasped. What would Kagome do? Cry, Run, or swear that they could forget traveling with her?

"Excuse me!" Kagome asked.

"You're excused.." Inuyasha mocked her.

"Uncle Yasha…" Rin whispered.

Kagome balled her fists and threw the sign down on the ground. "The car is this way!" She mumbled bitterly, leading them to her vehicle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, why do I have to sit in the back?" Inuyasha whined to Kagome. She merely ignored him and continued her conversation with Rin.

"So, where are you guys staying?" She asked

"Oh, I don't know yet… Inuyasha and I were going to go looking for hotels later, I guess." Kagome perked up and smiled at the girl.

"You can stay at my house, if you'd like." She suggested. Rin beamed.

"Really? It's not any trouble is it?" She asked.

Kagome waved her hand dismissively. "No trouble at all. But, I don't like dogs in my house, so the Inugoober will have to sleep in the dog house." Kagome said.

"Hey, I heard that!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Good, because I wanted you to!" Kagome shouted turning around to yell at him.

"If I were in the front, you wouldn't have to turn around." Inuyasha said. Kagome grumbled and turned up the radio.

"Is that all you got?" Inuyasha shouted, complaining even louder. Kagome fisted her hands and pulled the car over, turning off the radio.

Rin sighed and rubbed her face with her hands. 'Inuyasha…why?'

Kagome turned around so she was facing him and stared down at the scared Inuyasha. "Shut. Up." She said in a cold and frightening voice. Inuyasha nodded his head slowly and sat up in his chair as the car pulled back onto the road. Her phone began to ring, and Kagome answered it quickly.

"Hello?"

"Oh really?"

"He did not"

"Sango, oh my gosh!"

"Wait Kohaku is?"

"Hey, mind if I come up to? I have some one for him."

"No, no, Sango, a girl from Kyoto."

"Okay, thanks"

"Uhh… I'd love to chat, Sango, but my phone's about to die. Hehe…"

"Okay, see ya soon!"

Kagome said hanging up the phone and placing it in her purse.

"Rin," Kagome started. The girl looked up at Kagome questioningly. "Kohaku is coming over to Sango's house. So, we'll have to stop by my house later, okay?"

Rin's eyes lit up. "He'll be there?" She asked, excitement filling her.

Kagome nodded.

'Kohaku'

AN: I must thank everyone who reviewed thank you so much.

-Shipposfoxfire-

I'm glad you like it but, what did you mean by go scholar?

-lil'nay-

Oh, right… well, -Sama means I respect you… kind of like "Lord" or "Master". –Chan is used between friends. –Kun is used usually from girls to a guy friend. If you want anymore, ask. That's all I think I'll be using in this story. And yes, I do watch Love Hina. I'm obsessed with it. However, that is not where I got the idea from.

LiRiNCaNdY-

Yes, RinxKohaku rocks

King of shao-

Glad you like the story

Shisyo Akami

Thank you, glad you like it

Kamiya Kagome

Hee hee. Thank you, I didn't think it was all that romantic, but glad you like it! (Hey, you're writing one of my favorite fanfics)

(Hybrid Koneko does not own Inuyasha or any of the Inuyasha characters. In a sense, I don't even own this story. The idea came to me for a lot of reasons. It's a bit of a mix between shows… you'll see)
