Ok, so I thought you won't be happy only with that short prologue so I added the second chapter aswell! And no, I still don't own Inuyasha!


"Miss Takeru… Miss Takeru can you hear me?" a feminine voice broke through her sleep and drifted away her dreams' remainings from her mind and memory. Sleepy and still confused, Rin opened lazily her eyes, only to meet a friendly gaze of a girl around her age, with somewhat reddish eyes. She blinked and the girl backed away for a second. "Are you alright?" she asked not too loud, probably understanding the pain inside Rin's head. She only nodded and sustained her body on her elbows, gazing around the room and noticing that she was in the same room as before. The new girl smiled a bit shy, embarrassed by the silence and then decided to do something bold. She jumped up on Rin's bed, standing on it's edge and looking at the patient occupying it. "Sorry if I woke you up, but Kagome said that our therapy session was going to start soon anyway… so… I hope you don't mind that I entered and read your name from the chart…"

"Don't worry… and, by the way… I'm Rin!" she spoke back, doing her best at smiling back at the chipper girl.

"Well, Rin, my name is Sango…" she said back and they both shook hands, gladly that they had finally found someone to talk to… "So, what are you in here for?" Sango asked carefully, not wanting to open a bad and old wound. Rin glance at her for a moment and then answered with an expected sad tone.

"I died…"

"Well, we all did around here… that's why we are here… of course, except for those who are in a coma and between all possible worlds…"

"Excuse me?" Rin looked at her as if she had just ran from a mad-house.

"You don't know where you are… don't you? That's right, Kagome had told me that you just arrived." Sango concluded and smiled, comforting her. Strangely, Rin found the girl's smile contagious and energic… especially come from another dead person.

"Ok… can you explain me then?" she asked, not knowing where she had ended up.

"Well, we all ended up here because we died a short time ago and we still don't know if we are to end up in heaven or hell. You see, no matter how long you stay here, it still means that you barely died and probably your soul still didn't leave your body from Earth… but will probably do so soon."

"What if it doesn't?"

"It's extremely rare, but I've seen it happen. It's a true miracle… because when you go back to Earth, it means that you were near to death or even died, but that you managed somehow to resurface and wake up again. It takes a lot of power from one… that I can assure you." Sango explained Rin and, noticing her silence, she went on. "Anyway… what happened to you?" she tried to ask so that she wouldn't be considered too nosy.

"You said something about people who are in coma…"

"Oh, yeah… those aren't dead yet, so they get to come here, but they can't responde like us, as in talk, walk or even eat… just like they can't do all of these back home… Why do you ask?" Sango inquired and stared at Rin. "Rin, what happened?" she asked scared, at the sight of her tears.

"I killed myself…" she murmured and looked directly into Sango's eyes, seeing how her expression changed into the one of a sad and caring person. She smiled weakly and repeated. "I killed myself because I knew that I was going to come here… I just didn't know that detail about the persons who are in a state of coma…"

"You came here for someone who is in a similar state?" she asked and leaned over, touching slightly Rin's hair, comforting her grief.

"Yes… my angel… the man who saved my life and my love… my fiancé… my only love…" Rin said and her eyes shed tears almost unwillingly. Erasing those salty drops from her cheeks, Rin started determined. "A few years back I was involved in an accident. I only survived due to a wonderful man who managed to get me out of a building destroyed by a huge fire. When I woke up he was still there, barely injured, watching over me and wanting to be sure that I was going to be ok after what had happened. At first I thought he was just like the other men… and then I started learning him… his gestures… his person… his mind… his soul… I believed he was indestructible, the most powerful and loving man in the world. We got engaged and ready to live the rest of our lives together, our own happily ever after…" she smiled, but the next moment, her whole expression turned deadly and sad. "And then it happened. A car crash… many vehicles were involved… and so it was his car and him… I remember rushing to the hospital like a mad woman… I went to the first doctor that I saw and I found out ten minutes later that he was still in surgeory… Two hours later I was told that he was going to survive… but that he was going to remain in a coma… and no one knew for how long. I felt my heart shredded to pieces, but I still thanked God that he was not dead." She took a moment to calm her heartbeats down and tears, and then restarted the story. "That was six months ago and yesterday I knew I couldn't take it anymore… So, with the price of dieing and ending in hell, I took an overdose of sedatives and, apparently, I died…"

"Oh, this is so sad and romantic…" Sango practically yelled, clamping a hand over her own mouth and hiding her blush. "You came here for the man you love! Oh, I wish I could have done something like that!"

"Sango!"

"Well, it's true… I only ended up here because of a stupid thing!" she almost whined and made Rin curious.

"How? Come on, I told you my story… it's your turn…"

"You know what, Rin? I think you are a remarkable person for sharing your life with me… and for that I will tell you my story, althought I must warn you that it's not too fancy or important… just my plain old life…" Sango smiled shily and spoke up. "I was killed by my younger brother."

"What!" Rin almost jumped from her bed and stared shocked at the elder girl.

"Yeah… well, my younger brother, Kohaku, was introduces to some big-time mobster, named Naraku. Just another idiot without a last name if you'd ask me. Anyway, he was taken under Naraku's "protective wing". I tried for many years to take him away from there… to put some sense in his mind… but all my attempts have failed. In the end, I was shot in a gang-fight, trying to protect Kohaku… apparently I managed too… with the cost of my life though…" she ended her story, not adding many details to it.

"Oh, Sango… I'm so sorry!" Rin said and embraced the elder woman tightly.

"Well, don't be! I was there to protect my brother… and I did!" Sango said and broke away, giving Rin one of her large and warm smiles.

"You're not crying…"

"Well, after you've said the same thing to thirty different people… you tend to get used to it… you'll see it too!" she said and then, slapped her forehead, seeming to have remembered something. She quickly jumped off the bed and grabbed Rin's hand, pulling the younger girl after her. Both surprised and a bit scared, Rin asked while the two crossed many hallways and rooms in that building, which seemed endless.

"Where are we… um, running?"

"I forgot about the therapy session! Oh, man! We got into talking and now Kagome will have my skin for bringing you late!" Sango whined and ran even faster.

"I don't think so… she seemed nice!"

"Yeah… but I don't like getting late to the sessions… you know… there are many people like us here and there simply must be an order…"

"Wow… where did you get that from?" Rin asked a bit amused by her by now friend's words.

"I kind of borrowed the internal rules guidebook." Rin gave her a puzzled look and Sango simply rose her shoulders, smiling in defense. "I was bored one night and just had to do something… Don't worry, I returned it before morning…" she ended and grinned some more, while pushing Rin inside the next room and entering it herself. They were now finally ready for the therapy session.
