Disclaimers note: I do not own any InuYasha chars.

She should be dead… no human could've survived crashing through glass like that. SesshouMaru glanced around in the waiting room that he, InuYasha, Kagome, Izayoi (InuYasha's mother), InuTaisho (both InuYasha's and SesshouMaru's father), and Rin's family. Sighing deeply he returned his thoughts back to Rin. She must be dead now… so much blood was lost… He gazed down at his hands which were still stained with her blood; he made InuYasha drive his car to the hospital and refused to leave Rin's side as the ambulance rushed her to the emergency room.

No one said a word as they all waited to find out whether or not Rin would live.

He closed his eyes, blocking out the sight of blood. Why did this happen to me again? Sighing deeply he looked up at his father who stood across from him, gripping Izayoi's shoulder. I should've just taken my chance with her… I had so many. He clenched his hands into fist, his sharp nails digging into his palms drawing blood.

I still remember the world, from the eyes of a child. Slowly those feelings were clouded by what I know now.

He could hear Kagome's soft sobs and Rin's mother crying in anguish, and he tried to block it out of his head.

Where has my heart gone? An uneven trade for the real world. Oh I… I want to go back to believing in everything and knowing nothing at all.

SesshouMaru scowled and glared at InuYasha. It's all his fault the bastard! If he hadn't been so dumb none of this would've happened.

I still remember the sun. Always warm on my back. Somehow it seems colder now.

Gazing up at the ceiling he bit his bottom lip. Why did she run out in the middle of the street?

Where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger. Oh I… I want to go back to believing in everything.

"Mr. and Mrs.Higurashi?" A deep voice startled all of them as they looked up at the doctor who'd come in so quietly. "She is fine, you may go see her."

SesshouMaru's lips parted slightly and he gasped. How can this be?

Iesu, Rex admirabilis Et triumphator nobilis, Dulcedo ineffabilis, Totus desiderabilis.

He watched as they hurried away to the room Rin was kept and shifted uncomfortably in his seat when he realized everyone remaining in the room was watching him.

Where has my heart gone? An uneven trade for the real world. Oh I… I want to go back to believing in everything.

Clearing his throat he realized he was still digging his claws into his skin, slowly he unclenched his hands staring at the small holes in both hands before they healed.

Where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger. Oh I… I want to go back to believing in everything.

Kagome broke the silence by bringing her hand to InuYasha's head, "You're bleeding."

"Feh."

I still remember.

Thousands of years ago when InuYasha received the Shiokin sp? jewel he used it to bring back his mother and father, he and Kagome were granted eternal life.

Naraku, realizing he couldn't beat the great InuTaisho, fled and no one has seen neither hide nor hair of him since.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Rin stared out the hospital window, sighing softly. Her parents had stayed the night with her but both had to leave in the morning to go to work.

She knew she was lucky to have survived. Broken ribs and some cuts were all she had, which shocked the doctors. She still didn't know when she'd be able to leave but hopped it was soon.

"Hello Rin." A cold heartless voice met her ears and fear gripped her heart, she knew that voice all to well.

Sparkling angel, I believe, you are my savior in my time of need. Blinded by faith I couldn't hear all the whispers, the warnings so clear.

She looked over at the figure in the doorway. "Naraku…"

I see the angels. I'll lead them to your door. There is no escape now. Now mercy no more.

"Oh my Rin…" Naraku cooed, crossing the room to her.

No remorse 'cause I still remember, the smile when you tore me apart.

Pulling herself into a sitting position Rin shook her head, "I'm not yours!"

You took my heart. Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn to real. You broke the promise and made me realize it was all just a lie.

He smirked and grabbed hold of her arms, pulling from the bed, "I really thought that car would've killed you. I'm a little upset it didn't but 'if you want something done right you've got to do it yourself.' Isn't that right?"

Her face paled and she gasped, her rib cage throbbing with pain. "You sick fuck! Let me go!"

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see your dark intensions, your feelings for me.

Scowling he clenched his fist and punched her as hard as possible in the side, clasping his other hand over her mouth to muffle her scream. He smiled in satisfaction when he saw blood seeping through the hospital nightgown.

Fallen angel, tell me why? What is the reason? The thorn in you eye?

Her frail hands pressed against his chest, trying to push him away, tears streaming down her face.

"Rin, how much blood have you loss since the accident?" He asked softly.

Her gaze flickered behind him before focusing back on him.

I see the angels. I'll lead them to your door. There is no escape now. Now mercy no more.

Suddenly Naraku was pried off her and throw back across the room. SesshouMaru brought his hands to Rin's face, then he glared back at Naraku, and his eyes widen with shock.

No remorse 'cause I still remember the smile when you tore me apart.

"You!"

Naraku met SesshouMaru's gaze and sneered, "Oh how horrifying! Poor little Rin will bleed to death again."

You took my heart. Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn to real. You broke the promise and made me realize it was all just a lie.

SesshouMaru turned, looking at Rin who struggled to remain conscious. He brought his hands to her face, "Rin…"

"Oh how terrible." Naraku taunted.

Could have been forever, now we've reached the end. This world may have failed you. It doesn't give the reason why. You could have chosen a different path of life.

Rin gazed into SesshouMaru's eyes, her heart pounding. Those beautiful eyes… Her gaze moved to Naraku and she shuddered in disgust at his smile.

The smile when you tore me apart.

"I'll be seeing later my little Rin." Naraku said softly starting towards the door.

SesshouMaru leapt forward his claws cutting through Naraku's back, shredding Naraku's shirt, "You fool! Don't ever think you can escape my grasp!"

You took my heart. Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn to real. You broke the promise and made me realize it was all just a lie.

Naraku cackled and tore away from SesshouMaru, changing to mesima sp? and flying out the window. "I shall withdraw for now Lord SesshouMaru!"

Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end.

Just as he was about to chase after him, SesshouMaru heard Rin groan.
