Chapter 4

The broken body laid as though it was in a deep peaceful sleep. There was something that made it clear that that was not the case at all. There was no sleep for the women in this world. It stayed unmoving with no breath coming out of her cherry red lips. No sound of the heart beating away in her chest. Kagome had become lost to the underworld.

A whisper came across the room. "Why…"

Sesshomaru looked back at the young girl that was not handling the situation very well. Tears still streaming down her face.

"Please tell me…" Her voice seemed to have a child like quality to it. "Why… I had been working so hard to keep her alive. So why? Why did this happen? What did I do wrong? There had to be something more that I could have done, but I was too blind to see it. Why?" Her fits began again, but this time she ran into Sesshomaru's chest. She latched onto him like a child to its mother.

Surprised at Rin's actions at first, but he then pulled Rin closer into a tight hold to try and comfort the child. With his right hand he began to rub her back in a circular motion hoping it would help.

It seemed like an hour had passed as he stood there holding Rin. It was only mere moments, in witch she fallen asleep.

Sesshomaru, with his one good arm fixed Rin so that he could carry her to her own room. As he lay her down he knew that something had to be done about the once lining body that was Kagome. As he thought about this Sesshomaru went back to the room were Kagome had been left. Slowly he moved towards the bed and sat down on the right side of it. He could use his better arm that way. He was about to pick up the empty shell of a body when a voice that came from the rooms door stopped him.

"Lord Sesshomaru I have returned with the healer you asked me to get." Jaken said in a happy sounding way towards the demon lord. This was not a good time to think you have done something great.

"There is no need for a healer anymore. Send them back from whence they came."

"But my lord, what has happened to change my mission?"

The girl for witch you were sent for a healer is dead."

Jaken looked over to the body then back at his lord. "I'm sorry my Lord for my stupidity. I shall send them away, but may I say something before I do?"

"…"

Jaken knew that the silent reply meant that he could continue. "Why not use your sword?"

"What reason do I have to bring this human back from the grave? You should know better then to say such rubbish."

Jaken bowed and started on his way back to the area he had left the healer, but not before he added one last word. "Rin was very fawned of the girl. Is that not reason enough?" With that said he left.

Sesshomaru looked back at Kagome. 'Maybe…'

His right hand had found its way to a pulsating Tensagia. 'Do you wish me to bring back this woman?' Sesshomaru unsheathed the sword and held it high above the once Kagome. There was no soul and no demons like there should have been. 'Maybe they have already had…'

Sesshomaru stood there lost in thought, until it hit him. 'That bitch has it.' He got up quickly and started towards the main entrance to his home. Passing Jaken on his way out, he told him of his leaving, but not of what he was about to do.

Rin sat in total darkness that flowed all around her. She had locked herself in Sesshomaru's room after he had left her alone in this large castle they called home. The only sound that could be heard from the girl was the sound of the never ending tears landing on the floor.

The soundless body was still in the room that it had been left in when it was still living. Young as she was, her life was as close to a full life as she thought she would ever get. Was she ever wrong.

It had done nothing but ran since that tragic night and was as though the world was crying for the loss of its once powerful miko. It was still raining when Sesshomaru returned. With him was a woman made of clay and she was not all too happy about being here.
