Goodbyes Hurt Chapter 2

Rin sat in her "secret spot" as she liked to call it, looking up at the sun with a wide smile across her face. She blinked a few times and decided that she should stop looking at the sun. So, she looked around where she always sat, which was right in the middle of a field of flowers with a little lake she liked to bathe in, south of her feet.

She closed her eyes and sighed as she let her body lay among the flowers. 'A few more days and I'll be seventeen.'

A rare frown appeared on her face. Her mind had begun to wander and it had wandered to thoughts and enticing images of "him".

She opened her sorrowful eyes and said to a demon that was not there, " You're not coming back, are you?"

Getting up to go back to her little hut with her adopted family, she started walking. Unconsciously, she opened her mouth and started to sing an old song of hers long forgotten.

"In the mountain.
In the forest.
In the wind.
In a Dream.
Where are you, Sesshoumaru-sama?
With an ally like Jaken-sama.
I will wait alone until you come.
Sesshoumaru-sama,-"

" Rin!" Shouted an old woman.

" Hai, okaa-san?" Rin asked with a smile.

" You were supposed to be here at noon. Hurry up and get dressed, you have to perform your rounds soon." She scolded.

" Gomen. I'll be ready soon."

Rin rushed off to her little room and started taking off her clothes and grabbing her taijia armor and gear.

Yes, she was an official demon slayer and had been for the past two years. She became a demon slayer in hopes of seeing "him" again.

Fastening her sword to her waist, she left the hut and went walking off into the forest surrounding her little village.

Keeping on her guard, she made a slow circle around the village. Sensing no danger, she began to make her way back to the village.

Out of nowhere, a demon attacked her from behind. She jumped to the right, in hopes of dodging the demon's claws, but they met her shoulder and her blood began to seep out of the wound she had received.

Holding her wounded shoulder, she looked up at the demon that attacked her. The demon was probably six feet tall and was a bit on the hefty side. Although it was certainly grotesque and discolored. It looked as though it had received a vicious beating and soon afterwards had become violently sick.

The demon looked at his prize and began to speak. " Ah, what a nice little female ningen I've found." It said in delight. " Come to think of it, you're not that bad looking for a ningen." He said as he circled her. " Perhaps I'll take you first, then devour you!"

With an evil grin on his face, he advanced towards Rin. Pulling her sword out of its sheath, she pointed it directly at the demon. " I will not be used!" She said with fierce determination.

Those words only made the demon shiver in pleasure. " You are not in the position to determine if you will or will not be used."

Jumping at Rin, he brought one of his hands to her neck while the other pinned her wrists down above her head. Her sword now tossed aside, she began to panic. Struggling with as much strength as she could muster, she tried to push the demon back or at least kick him, but nothing worked. His grip was rock solid.

Fear began to take over Rin's mind and the demon could have cried out in joy, but there was not much to be joyous about anymore. Another demon had come to the scene, and this one was much more powerful.

The girl began to struggle more violently, desperately trying to break free. Then and there the grotesque demon decided that he would have the woman beneath him no matter what the cost.

Rin had seen the hesitant look in the demon's eye as it looked back into the forest. Hoping to catch it off-guard, she moved around as frantically as possible in hopes of being able to wiggle out from underneath him. But, that had only made him want her more in the end.

So, there she lay, being straddled by a heavy demon, as tears silently trailed down her cheeks.

She closed her eyes tight, praying for kami-sama to let her go free to-. Her train of thought had stopped when she felt the full weight of the demon on her.

Slowly, she opened her eyes to see what was going on. Just over the shoulder of the limp demon was a demonic figure she thought she'd never see again.

The deadly beauty had noticed the young woman's eyes on him. The young woman had dark brown hair and doe brown eyes. And her smile, he had seen it somewhere before, on a little girl who looked slightly like this young woman before him.

Then, realization came barging through the door.

" Rin?" The beauty said in a practiced tone.

" You came back, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin whispered with excitement.

Moments later, she blacked out.
