"Hello?" Rin answered her phone
"Have you finished yet?" Naraku said from the other side
"Excuse me for just a moment Sesshoumaru." She said stepping out of the room.
She walked down the hallway into the girl's shower so he couldn't hear her talking.
"Sorry, here was with me. And yes, everything is going perfectly. She saw us having lunch at the mall today and now she refuses to talk to him." She said in a monotone voice
"Good. Keep him inside. We will be taking her tonight." Naraku finished and hung up the phone
She closed her phone and walked back into the room. She put it down on her bed and walked back to one of the boxes to finish up.
"Sorry, dad called to check up on me. He says my sister and her fiancé are fighting about something or other." she said with a heavy sigh
Naraku's Office...
"She is free from interference. Take any chance you get and bring her back to my place. Nobody will be able to find her there. No go!" he said while an evil grin lay upon his beautiful face.
"Are you sure he can get her? After all she remembers now and could possible use her powers against him." Kikyo said walking out of the darkness
"Don't worry my love. She is too depressed to fight back. She just had her heart broken." He informed her
Kagome's Dorm...
They had gone to all their classes and decided to through a small little party for Kagome. Kind of like a 'Cheer up, Screw Him' party. They all met at Kagome's and ordered food. While they ate they told stories watched movies and played games. Around eleven o'clock everyone had fallen asleep. Well, everyone except Kagome.
She couldn't sleep at all. She was afraid of sleeping. She had a bad feeling in her gut and didn't know why. Afraid of sleep she got up and decided to go to her favorite spot, the koi pond.
She walked to the pond and took a seat on her normal rock as she watched the koi swim around in the moonlit and starry sky. It wasn't a full moon. Only a small sliver. So she wasn't able to see much around her. She recalled the night she had first come out here. It was the same reason she had come here the first time. She couldn't sleep at all.
Remembering Sesshoumaru being here that night too just upset her more than she already was. Why couldn't she stop thinking about him? What was so special about him? How could something so small hurt so much? Was he pretending the whole time? Did he ever really care about her? She couldn't stop the thousands of questions that arose in her head. This made her more frustrated and aggravated.
She heard something behind her as eyes seem to burn in her back. Thinking it was the same person who currently ran threw her mind she didn't turn around. Looking straight ahead unmoving she ignored his presence. Not wanting to talk to him about anything. If he didn't know why she was upset then she would not tell him. He needed to figure out for himself. She shouldn't have to tell him every time he did something wrong.
He watched her closely with his hard brown eyes waiting for her to turn around and face him. But it never came. Instead she remained still and continued to look ahead. 'She must think I'm Sesshoumaru. That's good. It will make things easier.' He thought evilly to himself.
"Go away Sesshoumaru!" she yelled
"I would but I'm not Sesshoumaru." He simple stated
She whipped around to look at the man behind her. He was wearing a black suit and had blue hair down to his shoulders and hard brown eyes. His eyes frightened her the most. She remembered those cold brown eyes from that night. Those eyes of his froze her to her spot. She was unable to move from his piercing gaze. She couldn't find her voice either. Unable to speak because she was to horrified and scared. He was going to finish what he started and she wasn't able to run or scream. Leave it to her to go out alone, while everybody was asleep.
Slowly he walked up to her as he began to speak calmly and crouch down to her level.
"I see you remember me. Well don't worry. I won't hurt you for now, but maybe after everything is complete I will have you." He informed her
She finally found her voice as she inwardly rejoiced. While on the outside of her mind she screamed for help. Unfortunately she was only able to scream once. Because he knocked her out before she could do it again. Getting caught was not good for him.
He picked her up bridal style as he leapt into the air jumping from rooftop to rooftop. He was fast so people that remained on the streets at this time weren't able to see him. Besides the moon was so dim he could have easily walked there. But of course he chose the faster route.
Sesshoumaru woke to a familiar scream. Jumping out of bed and throwing on a pair of pants he ran from his room. He didn't know why he was acting like this but he had a bad feeling in his gut. He walked towards the koi pond and was met by Kagome's scent.
He became angry and surprisingly scared by the way it smelled. She smelt normal except the fear and sadness that was laced in her scent. He sniffed around some more when he came across another scent. This one was more masculine and smelt of pine and dirt. It was laced with excitement and lust.
Becoming angry he rushed to her apartment where he knew her friend would be. He would tell her then find his brother.
Sango was woken up by a knock at the door. Looking at the clock to see the time '12:00'. She lay back down to try and go back to sleep but the knock came again only a little bit more loud.
She looked over to find Inuyasha and Miroku out cold and snoring loudly. Looking towards the door she decided they could wait until tomorrow. It couldn't be that important. So putting her head back down she closed her eyes.
Everyone in the room jumped up when the door burst open revealing a very enraged demon lord with glowing red eyes. They all stared horrified at the site before them. Each looking at one another trying to figure out what they had done to upset him.
Calming down a tiny bit, he looked at them. His eyes still red but no longer glowing.
"Kagome is gone." He said
"What do you mean? She probably went to the koi pond or something." Sango said
"No she is not I was just there! Some one has taken her!" he informed her while his eyes started glowing again
"Calm down Lord Sesshoumaru, tell us what you know." Miroku said calmly taking a seat
"I woke from a woman screaming. When I went to the koi pond I caught her scent. It was laced with fear. There was also another, one that smelt of pine and dirt. It however was laced with excitement. This masculine scent informs me he is demon and enjoys the kills." He explained to them
"We'll find that bastard and when we do I will personally rip out his heart and make him eat it!" Inuyasha jumped up as he yelled
"Calm down Inuyasha. We must find out why he wants her and who he is." Miroku informed him
"Wait, Kagome told me she quit her job." Sango said thoughtfully
"Wow, that's helpful." Inuyasha spat sarcastically
"Maybe you should let me finish. Anyway, she said she didn't need the job but when I over heard her talking to him she said his name." She said
"What was his name Sango?" Miroku asked patiently waiting for an answer
"Your not going to like this, but his name was...Naraku." she said worriedly
"It could be his reincarnation. Kagome destroyed Naraku from the past. But if she destroyed him then how did he find out about her. Nobody really knows she traveled through time except for us, Shippou, Kouga and her family." Miroku said as his finger tapped his chin
"Kikyo." Was Inuyasha's simple answer
"You think she still lives?" Miroku asked
"She was the living dead and we all died during the battle. So she could have survived it and waited until now." Sango added a thought
"Yes but to be able to survive through the eras as well as being followed by soul stealers I would think it would be more obvious to the naked eye. It would be easy for someone to spot them." Sesshoumaru said
"How are we supposed to defeat him? We don't even have our weapons anymore. And we don't know what we are up against." Sango said fearfully
Sesshoumaru walked over to their phone and dialed a number. He waited as it continued to ring and was relieved when someone answered.
"Hello?" a young male's voice rang out
"Get Kouga and meet me at my place in half an hour. Hurry." Sesshoumaru said in a deadly voice
When he hung up the phone he turned to find everyone staring at him.
"So Kouga's still alive is he?" Inuyasha said calmly surprising everyone
"He is and so is Shippou. Kagome met him a while ago." Was his reply
"How is he?" Miroku asked
"Stronger." He stated
"I'm glad I get to see him again and I'm sure Kagome was ecstatic too." Sango said smiling
"Unfortunately this is not the time to be catching up. But I assure you that I will be the one to kill him." Sesshoumaru said viciously
Naraku's House...
"So I see you have succeeded this time." Came Naraku's evil voice
"Yes Lord Naraku. The girl has been brought like you ordered." The man replied
"Good work Suichi, you have done well. Bring her to the room that was prepared. We will begin soon." He ordered him
Suichi bowed and quickly left with the girl in his arms to follow his master's orders. He looked down at the small woman he held thinking of how harmless she looked. But for some reason his master feared her power and told him how she had destroyed him already. He didn't understand Naraku's reasons because he couldn't fathom how such a small woman held so much power. He found it amusing how Kikyo had left in such haste when he had brought the girl in. Even though she was unconscious she feared her greatly. She was quite amazing, even when she slept evil ran in fear.
"You know he will come for her." Kikyo said now reentering the room
"It must happen for the jewel to reawaken. Otherwise we cannot take it from her." Naraku said smiling at her
"She will die from it as well." She added
"One less problem to deal with my love." He replied
Kikyo smiled at him as she took her common place on his lap. They didn't talk anymore but just sat in silence. The other man she had grown to hate she now loved. It always was weird how fate worked.
Rin entered the room and knelt before Naraku. She waited for a command to be given. She wondered what task would come next.
"Ah, little Rin. You have pleased me." He said looking at her
"I am glad milord. What is my next task?" she asked head still down
"You may stand Rin." He paused as she stood to look at him, "I simply wish you to continue to distract him. I will need time to make preparations." He told her
"As you wish milord." She responded bowing low and turned to leave
"Rin. Try and keep them all distracted. Any one of them come to soon I will personally end your life." Kikyo told her before she left
Rin stood still as Kikyo spoke. She thought of everything she had lost and figured her life was the only thing left. She hated deceiving these people, but it had to be done. She didn't fear death or anything that could bring harm to her. She just wanted to survive and one day meet someone to spend her life with. Sure she was ashamed of the things she was doing, but she had no control over it. So she walked back towards the campus as she headed for Sesshoumaru's dorm room.
Sesshoumaru and the rest of the group all sat at his apartment waiting for Shippou and Kouga to arrive. He was getting impatient and his eyes still held rage as they were still tinged a light pink. He couldn't believe some one would be so foolish to take what was his. This thought made him stop for a moment. 'When did I start to say such foolish things. She is human and...she is mine and nobody will touch her but me. If he dare touch her or harm her in anyway I WILL have his head.' He thought becoming even angrier.
A knock came to the door startling him from his thoughts. He walked over and opened it freezing in his spot. He didn't expect to see her tonight. It was so late in the night.
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you. It's just I couldn't sleep and I went for a walked and noticed your light on. So I figured I'd come and see if you wanted company." Rin said lowering her head
"Who is it?" Inuyasha asked roughly, "Are they here yet?"
"No." Was his only reply
"Then who is it?" he asked again curiosity getting the best of him and he got up walking to the door, "You look familiar. Who are you?" he asked as he studied her closely
"I'm Rin. It's nice to meet you." She said smiling warmly
"Yeah, okay." He said and walked back to his spot
"How long until they arrive?" Miroku said now speaking up
"Yeah we need to leave soon." Sango said
"If they are not here then we should just leave." Inuyasha added
"Well I'm sorry to have bothered you. I didn't know you had company. I will see you tomorrow then." Rin said turning to leave
Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm before she walked away. She turned to look at him not sure of what emotion was in his eye.
"You can stay if you'd like. You do not bother me." He told her and let go of her arm
She nodded and followed him in the room and sat quietly down on his bed. She saw Inuyasha who she just met and the crazy girl from earlier. But the man with short black hair she had never seen nor met before.
"I am Miroku and this is Sango." Miroku said
"I'm Rin it's nice to meet you."
Miroku was kneeled in front of her and holding her hand before she realized it, "Your are very beautiful Rin. Will you give me the honor of.." he was quickly knocked on the floor by Sesshoumaru before he even finished
"I warned you Rin. You test me by coming here. I'm not as nice as the others are. And I would not be here if it weren't for Kagome." Sango informed her
"And you would do well to hold your tongue. You are in my home and have no say in anything here." Sesshoumaru spat as his eyes narrowed
"What is wrong with Ka-go-me?" Rin asked curiously but already knowing the answer
"It is none of your concern." Sango spat viciously
Another knock came and Sesshoumaru once again walked over to answer it. He found the two people who he was waiting for and a few others he hadn't expected. He moved from the doorway and let them come in.
"You're late." He stated the obvious
"Yeah, sorry about that." Shippou replied
He looked around at his old gang as his eyes were wide with joy. It had been ages since he had seen them and was extremely happy.
"Do they know?" he asked
Sesshoumaru nodded letting them all know that they had their memories back and they could reveal themselves.
Kouga leaned over to Shippou and whispered quietly in his ear. He was low enough that only the demons in the room could hear him speak. "I do not trust the other girl. She doesn't smell right and her aura is unwelcoming."
Shippou nodded at this and looked over to Sesshoumaru. He spoke in old demon language so no one would understand.
"Daji benki estuki nanu." 'I agree with him.' He said to the former demon lord
"Suiti nasi toka noku fija." 'She will remain here for now.' He replied
"Doji natu lani fu goji ju yuta naru lota deja do toi uhn juki ta na fi yu." 'I do not trust her either. She seems to be hiding something.' He said pausing, "Doda kani fura yu si na toroka dasi didu fi lo tani." 'We should not discuss such things with her hear. Please understand.' He finished
"Do taniwa si lota fu noti na yu kata loi fu soki jiyu." 'Very well then. I trust you on this.' He obliged
He turned to Rin and held out his hand. She instantly took it and helped herself up. They both left the room leaving everyone else there to talk.
"I am sorry for them acting in such rude manners." He told her
"It's okay. They are threatened by me and don't trust me either. It's understandable." She replied with a small smile
"So you understand I see." He said
"Of course I do. It's no problem. Shall we have lunch tomorrow then?" she questioned hopefully
"Then tomorrow it is." He said and watched her walk into the elevator
In The Elevator...
'Why do I feel the need to be by him? He is so kind and gentle to me. I think I'm falling for him. I've never felt this way before.' She thought to herself as she rode the steel box to the first floor.
