Wise Words from a Fool

Experience is the hardest teacher, it gives you the test first and then the lesson.

Inuyasha's hand found Kagome's and their fingers intertwined, as did their mouths. Kagome leaned back drawing Inuyasha down with her. Momentarily both of them had forgotten the walls that they had worked so hard to build. Together they lost all thoughts of reality and surrendered to the undying lust that burned within them.

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

"Purple!" Screamed an immature man in hopes of winning.

"Shut up we aren't even playing that game anymore you idiot." Sango condescended with a dull voice, clearly irritated. "So who wants to be it?"

"What are you, some kind of elementary student? Hide and go seek is a little too childish for my taste. Inuyasha said to watch over you not baby-sit you." Sesshomaru quirked back, noting the small smile etching on Rin's little face.

"I suppose you're right." Rin began, "but I can't agree with you. I love hide and go seek. Sango I am so game."

"Glad to see that there is still some spark in you my friend, but it pains me to say that you are..." Sango stood up and turned to leave, "It!" In a fit of giggles she ran off leaving Rin alone with a moron and a stuck up moron.

"That isn't fair!" Rin snorted loudly and with an evil look she eyed Miroku dangerously. "One...Two...Three...Not it!

"Not it!" Shouted the dense leech.

"Does that mean I am it?" Sesshomaru inquired.

"I didn't think you were playing." Rin stated bluntly. "But if you want to you can. Count to-"

"One-hundred!" Sango yelled from another room.

"Sango! Ready or not here I come!" Miroku claimed in glee.

"That is my line stupid!" Complained Sesshomaru half-heartedly. "Well, aren't you going to go hide from me?" He asked Rin, displaying a sexy smile at the same time.

"I don't have to hide, you are blind anyway." She replied in all honesty." But I guess I can play along. Come on Miroku we got to hide." The two waltzed away before splitting up when they reached the end of the hallway.

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

"Inuyasha." Kagome breathed into the crook of her husband's neck. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open, but if she closed them Inuyasha would disappear into a world of black, because to her this was all a dream. It was too wonderful, too good for her, and yet she also knew that the feelings she was experiencing at that moment were completely real.

Wake up! Don't wake up... Inuyasha didn't want to go back to the nightmare he called life. He wanted to stay in Kagome's embrace forever, without any restrictions. But he couldn't it. His last name, his birthright wouldn't permit it. If he went along with his feelings he would not only kill his wife, but it would also kill him from the inside out.

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

"Sango let's hide in here." Miroku demanded with a harsh intake of air. The work was annoyance, and that was his word. No matter where he wanted to hide Sango would not agree. It was either too easy or simply too hard to find. If he wasn't so interested in the girl he would have just let her hide alone, but alas he could not help himself.

"I don't know Miroku. It looks kind of-" She started but was interrupted by her escort.

"We are going in here!" Grabbing her hand, Miroku pulled with a firm grip at her, dragging her along with him into the bedroom. After tripping a little, Sango shut the door and spun around coming to terms with a very strange sight. Inuyasha and her best friend were...well, they were on the bed together.

"Oh." Kagome exclaimed while attempting to fix her hair and untangle herself from Inuyasha. "What's going on you guys?"

"We're playing hide and go seek what are you two playing?" Sango quizzed spicily. She glanced quickly at her companion who had a goofy expression on his face and he seemed to be mouthing something to his cousin. Inuyasha in turn mouthed something back and shook his head solemnly.

"We are not playing anything. I think I am going to take a cold shower." Said Inuyasha seconds prior to jumping off the bed and jogging to the bathroom.

"Can I play?" Kagome asked, trying to shake the disconcerting thoughts away.

"I don't think you should." Miroku replied suddenly serious. "It's not a good idea, and I don't think Inuyasha would agree to it."

"Why the hell not?" Sango questions totally confused with the change of his manner. "It's not like she is going to get lost in the house. You are letting Rin and me play. Why not Kagome?"

"No, and that is final. Let's go find Sesshomaru and the girl." He answered again but more harshly.

"I don't get it. Why can't I play?" Urged Kagome.

"Go talk to Inuyasha about it. He is the boss now." Miroku sighed deeply, regretting his roll as a superior.

"Fine I will!" Kagome stomped away with determination clear in her movements.

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

"Come out come out where ever you are!" Sesshomaru ordered playfully, keeping an eye out all the same. "I know that you are here." He had efficiently checked all of the dark corners and cabinets throughout the downstairs, but he still couldn't find her. He of course knew where his cousin and Sango were, they had made that all too obvious. His real challenge was finding the little girl that tugged at his heartstrings. The only problem was her size. He knew that she could easily fit into every crook and cranny in the house, but for some reason he doubted that she would. His senses told him that she was hiding well but wasn't in a small place but instead somewhere spacey.

From knowing her for the little time that he had, Sesshomaru had somehow made a decision that she was not the noisy type, and so with that conclusion she would not hide with Sango, or Miroku for that matter. On the contrary he guessed that she would go the opposite way of the two, because to him she seemed like a loner.

There was only one place that he suspected she would hide. The garage. It was large, quiet, and dark enough to secrete yourself for quite awhile. Easily he made his way to the garage in all hopes that it would be his last stop. In silence he opened the door and was surprised to see the lights on. "Oh I get it you are trying to throw me off. Well, how about this." With a laugh he switched the lights off and walked forward into the darkness.

It was difficult to see at first, but once his eyes adjusted to the absence of light he felt like a hunter. He was a hungry hunter in need of prey. Fleetingly he heard a faint voice so he stopped and listened. "Shit." He heard soft sniffling and heavy breathing. "Rin?"

"Go away! Just go away already!" Her sobs grew louder and Sesshomaru raced back to the light switch. When the room lit up once more he recognized a small body hiding behind a motorcycle. Unsure of what he should do, Sesshomaru went on instinct and slowly walked over to the crying girl.

"Rin? It's me, remember? We were playing hide-"

"It was so dark." Rin whispered in despair.

"What?" Sesshomaru continued on to where she crouched still confused.

"Everything was dark. There wasn't anymore light. I am so sorry." Again she let more tears fall, and at the same time she tried to smile. "I know it was my fault, and I am so sorry." With that last sentence Rin's eyes closed and she fell sideways without warning.

"Rin?"

I used to have a handle on life, but then it broke.

Just for one second I wish I could take a commercial brake from the soap opera in my mind.
