Okay it's 10 at night. I'm tired! I don't own InuYasha.

"Rin," Sesshomaru said, his back still facing her.
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Do not speak of this to anyone."
"Yes, My Lord," Rin said quietly. "My Lord, May I ask you something?" Sesshomaru turned around to face her so she took that as a yes.
"What alter to the curse did that demon make?"
"You need not worry, she did not alter that curse it was the second curse she placed on me that she altered."
Rin's eyes got huge, "She placed two curses on you? How terrible! Lord Sesshomaru, do you know how to remove the second curse?"
"It is a problem that will be fixed with time, Rin,"
"Excuse me for asking Lord Sesshomaru, but how much time? And why did she give you a time on one curse?"
"The curse will be gone by the next new moon unless I, Sesshomaru, do what she wants me to do."
"And that would be…?" Rin asked taking a step closer to him and giving him a slightly worried look.
"You do not need to worry yourself about it." He said then he turned around and started to walk away.
"But," Rin called after him, "Lord Sesshomaru does it concern me?"
Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, 'Well you might as well tell her or else she'll just keep worrying and worrying, and you wouldn't want that. Would you Sesshy?' Voice 2 asked him.
'Why must you pick now of all times to not speak utter nonsense?'
'Because now you need our help!' Voice Three said, 'Now talk to her before she thinks your loosing it even more!'
"Rin, the second curse has everything to do with you." Sesshomaru said to her with his back still turned to her. He began walking away again then he stopped when he heard Rin running toward him, he turned around right as she sort of ran into him so she could embrace him.
Sesshomaru looked at the young crying girl that was holding on to him. "Rin, Why are you crying?"
"Because," she said between sobs, "I am nothing but a burden to you. It's my fault you were cursed! How can I forgive myself for causing you this trouble?"
"Rin, you need not worry, you are not a burden to me. Don't blame yourself for my curse, you are not to be blamed." He said while wrapping his arm around her.
'What am I doing?' Sesshomaru asked himself as he held Rin in his arms.
'It's your instincts! The one you love is distressed therefore you want to comfort her. Gosh you'd think you would know a little bit more about your race.' Voice 3 said.
'I do not love Rin.'
'Yeah, well if I was just an innocent bystander that just happened to be passing by I would have thought you two were lovers who just made up after a fight.' Voice 1 said.
After Sesshomaru told her that and put his arm around her Rin's tears began to lessen and it wasn't until they were gone that she realized that she was being held by Sesshomaru. She then wondered if anyone was able to see them and what any of the servants would do to see their Lord Sesshomaru holding the young girl. A blush crept on her face as she thought about it but then again her Lord had been closer to her in the last two days than he ever had before, could it be that he really did love her?
'Hey let's just be quiet and see what Sesshy does next? Let's see if he really is hopeless in the ways of love.' Voice 2 said.
'Alright, but if he begins to mess anything up with Rin I am going to control him!' Voice 1 said.
'Of course, we won't let him mess anything up with Rin! We'll step in as soon as he begins to make a fool of himself.' Voice 2 said.
'Shhh! I think Fluffy is listening!' Voice 3 said to the others.
'Is that true Fluffy? Were you really ease dropping?'
'It is not ease dropping when the conversation is going on in your head.' Sesshomaru thought, a bit angry at the fact that they had accused him of ease dropping. He was beginning to loose his patients with the fools in his head.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked him when she looked up at him to see that he was looking down at her.
"What Rin?"
"Well I-," She was cut off as she heard the all too familiar squawk of Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru where are you?" the imp yelled throughout the garden as he searched for his lord.
Sesshomaru had not seemed like he noticed Jaken's yelling. He, Sesshomaru, just kept staring down at Rin. Rin was worried about what the imp would say though if he found them the way they were so she pulled away from her master and she felt his arm slowly lower from it's place on her back.
It was then that Jaken finally found them and Rin and Sesshomaru turned to look at the imp. "Lord Sesshomaru, I have terrible news!"

I am not too happy with this chapter. But do not worry! I will not send Sesshomaru off to fight in some war! That is way way way too predictable! I should post tomorrow though! Unless my dad happens to walk in my room... Then I'll be grounded but I will be able to clean it and sneak back on my computer! (It's really quite easy to get on my computer without my dad knowing since my computer is in my room!) Anyway thank you for all the reviews!
