Chapter Nineteen...i think....
"Why does she keep doing that?" Sesshomaru asked impatiently as he squeezed a wet washcloth over Rin's head.

"I don't know what set it off this time, but sometimes Rin has panic attacks that are usually triggered by specific things. Her family was killed when she was younger and ever since she has been, well, weak." Kagome answered while watching her brother-in-law take care of one of her best friends.

Sango has something to say to this though. "No, that's not true. She may be small, but she is sure is hell the strongest girl I have ever met. I mean I have a hard time waking up in the morning, and I only lost my brother. But Rin lost her whole family, her life, and she has to live with that every day."

"Your right." Kagome agreed with a silent nod.

"I still don't understand. She had a panic attack when I pulled out my gun, and you said she gets upset over blood too, but neither of those things were in the garage." Stated Sesshomaru in frustration.

"We won't know what happened until she wakes up, but for now I think that Miroku and I are going to go through the garage just one more time." Inuyasha offered. He was worried about leaving Kagome in her distress, but he knew he had to take care or the matter. Finally both him and his cousin stormed from the roomed in hopes of finding the reason for Rin's blackout.

A soft sound emanated from the faint girl's mouth. Hurriedly Sesshomaru turned Rin's body over as she habitually coughed out what looked to be blood. "Does that happen every time?" He asked Sango who had her hand over her mouth and was sobbing into it. He watched her shake her head and kneel down to his level.

"That has never happened before. Right Kagome?" Sango looked up at Kagome who wasn't paying them the least bit of attention. "Kagome? Hey are you there?" In full efforts Sango slapped at her friends calve but even that didn't bring her back to reality.

"I will be right back." Kagome said simply before walking ever so slowly away from her friends. She had heard noises coming from the back of the house. That was strange to her since she knew her husband and Miroku had gone to the garage. If they had decided to go the opposite way they would have had to walk past the living room, but she had not seen them do that. While walking through the kitchen Kagome grabbed a steak knife and with shaking knees stumbled to the sliding-glass door that led to the back yard.

"Inuyasha! Miroku!" Sesshomaru yelled out, hoping they would heed him and come. They did just that. "She's awake."

"Oh." Inuyasha let out in a huff. He had thought that they had seen something. "Hey Rin what happened?" He didn't waste anytime getting straight to the point.

"There is a man in your garage." She said as painful tears fell from her eyes. "He was a scary man. He had long black hair. He was so white, just so white. Too scary." Her quiet voice echoed in Inuyasha's head as if she had screamed into an amplified microphone. He desperately looked at his brother who was a pale color.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru let the name rest on his tongue.

"What about Kagome?" Inuyasha looked around for his wife and when he didn't see her he screamed out. "Where did she go?!"

Sango pointed with a trembling finger the direction to which her best friend had disappeared. Miroku saw her instability and instantly went to comfort her. She cried into his shoulder and he stroked her beautiful hair. The room was filled with a disconcerting air, and poor Inuyasha couldn't move his feet for fear of what he might find.

With strong strides Kagome went straight to the middle of the yard and spun in a circle. She was searching for the source of the disturbance. She was met with solitude instead of trouble. When she turned one last time, thinking that there was nothing there at all, she faced a horrid face of a man. True he was unremarkably perfect, but his eyes could make the bravest soul scream in fright. She faltered backward and brought the knife she held up in front of her. "Who the hell are you?" She inquired fearfully.

"Naraku."

He found his feet and his courage. Taking up the most speed he could muster, Inuyasha sprinted to where he knew his wife was. The back door was open and from there he could see two people in his backyard. It was his wife and one other. Though he could not place him totally, considering the mans' body was turned the other way, he could guess who it was. From the waistband of his pants Inuyasha pulled a revolver and almost professionally aimed it at his enemy's head. When time came to pull the trigger Inuyasha wavered suddenly as Naraku bounded from his spot and raced over the fence. All the poor white-haired boy could do was stare at his wife who was standing still with a knife held high. "What the hell were you thinking?!"

"What?" She asked in a whisper.

"Are you stupid or something?!" Now up close to her Inuyasha could hear her breath skipping and her eyes darting all around her. "Shit. What made you come out here on your own Kagome?"

"I don't know." Her reply was yielding to her husband and she dropped the knife.

"What is wrong with you?" Inuyasha asked more to himself than to her.

"Nothing!" Kagome blurted out harshly. Now realizing there was no more danger she looked Inuyasha right in the eye. "I heard a noise so I came to check it out."

"That's my job! I don't remember the priest saying to me 'Inuyasha do you take Kagome to be your lawfully married husband', or did he? I am the protector not you!"

"Talk about egotistic! I was just trying to help!" She fumed angrily.

"Well, you had your friend and me worried! I mean I come back and Rin says that she saw a scary man, and your missing!" He shouted back.

"I wasn't missing I was in our backyard!"

"I was still worried about you!"

"Yeah, well, I was worried about you too! That's why I came out here in the first place!" Those were her closing words before she attempted to walk around her husband, but he stopped her.
