Recap: After about five or ten minutes of waiting Sesshomaru started to get bored. He turned off the car, got out, and locked it. Sesshomaru opened to door to Rin's house, and let himself in. He searched lazily for her, but after he heard yelling and smelled a little blood, he quickened his search. He found her in what had to be her room. She was lying on the floor; her 'Father' was standing over her kicking her sides and any other parts of her he could. Rin appeared to be unconscious, but Sesshomaru couldn't tell.

Sesshomaru tried to stop her "Father" from hurting her but he was totally unsuccessful. Sesshomaru was pissed! No one touched what he… No! Not goin' there! Sesshomaru growled in frustration and knocked the man hurting Rin unconscious. He picked up Rin and put her in his car. He hit the gas and floored it towards home. Upon arrival he picked up Rin and carried her inside bridal style. He promised himself he would have revenge. The 'child' had been placed under his 'protection' and she was hurt! Sesshomaru didn't understand why he felt like this but he needed to see to Rin's injuries. He put her on his bed and cleaned her cuts. After he finished he told his Father what had happened. T9ouga first checked on Rin, then he called the school to tell then that Rin was not coming in today and Sesshomaru would be late.

Rin woke up to find that she felt sick, stiff, and she felt like her side was on fire. She gasped in pain. Sesshomaru told her to lay down and that she broke two ribs, cut her arm, leg, and stomach, as well as having numerous bruises but she would live. Rin looked around and found Sesshomaru peering at her from the right side of the bed. "I turned in that stupid, worthless, time-consuming project as well as your homework." Sesshomaru informed her stiffly. "Thanks" Rin replied softly. "It is 5:05 at night. Are you not hungry." Sesshomaru stated moodily. "Yes" Rin said. Truthfully she was starving. Rin tries to sit up again. This time Sesshomaru glares at her and puts his hand on her chest before she could get far. "I told you to stay down." He scolded. He leaves to get food for Rin.

Sesshomaru rolls his eyes when Rin tries to feed herself with out sitting up. Sesshomaru tales the chopsticks from her and starts to feed her himself. After he finishes she opens her mouth like she wants to talk to him but closes it quick. "If you wish to speak to me do so otherwise close your mouth." Sesshomaru says coldly. "I wanted to say thanks. I wanted to but then I decided it was a waste of my time." Rin answered him angrily.
