Hey, hopes you liked the previous chapters… here's a new one! Let me know wathca' think. Oh, and no, I still don't own Inuyasha.

Shily, Rin stepped inside the room, following closely Sango's pace. She had met the girl for nearly ten minutes and she already liked her. In spite of her very girlish looks, inside Sango's body was hiding a real tigress, with very sharp claws ready to reveal themselves at the sight of a dangerous enemy that could hurt her or her loved ones. Rin listened to her story and felt the deepest affection for the young woman, suddenly understanding that maybe she shouldn't have given her life this easily, when there are persons who would do anything in order to remain one more second alive.

Watching closely Sango's long ponytail moving along with her steps and moves, Rin did not notice when she stopped and bumped slightly into her back, apologizing fastly afterwards.

"Don't worry, it's nothing!" Sango looked back and gave her a warm smile. They both giggled after a moment and didn't stop until Rin felt movement behind her and, wanting to turn around and greet her doctor, who she expected to see, she suddenly saw a hand behind Sango caressing… Slap!

"Ouch!" a male voice complained from somewhere the floor, right next to the two young women.

"You pervert! I'm still surprised that God allowed you to remain here with your more than just well-known habbits!" Sango turned all red and shouted madle at the man still laying on the floor with already a bruise the size of his entire cheek. Rin backed away a little at the sight of the woman's change of attitude, watching the show between the two.

"Sango, my dear! You know this hand of mine has a mind of it's own and that it only wants your…"

"I don't want to hear it! How many times do I have to hit you so that you could understand that I can't stand your gropings?" she yelled some more, by now terrifying Rin. Still, the man seemed to have absolutely no problem with heractionsand appeared to be somewhat accustomed to her reactionsat his touch. Rin gazed at him, noticing his long white robe worn in a modern way, the short pigtail at the back of his head and the earrings he wore. He looked like a modern-day doctor and not at all like the others she had previusly seen. After several more hard words exchanged between the two, or Sango's swearings and the misterious man's acceptance, the young woman stopped, blushed madly and looked up at Rin, who had absolutely no idea what was going on. "Um, sorry! This pervert here is one of the major asisstants. Don't ask me how he got the job… cause' I still haven't discovered that yet." She smiled and pulled the man back on his feet, after that giving him a slight nudge, not wanting to hurt him more than she had already done, though.

"Hello, dear lady! My name is Miroku and it is my greatest honor to meet you." He bowed respectfully, although the bruise near his eye was starting to hurt more and get bluer by the minute. Giggling, Rin answered back.

"Hi, Miroku, I'm Rin and apparently I died not long ago." She attempted to joke but got a mortified sight from the man and a grin from Sango.

"Well, Rin, you must be waiting for Kagome, along with this goddess of mine…" his voice dritfed off as he looked back at the other young woman, who fastly cut him off.

"Sugar-talk won't take you anywhere, pervert. And who said I was even close to being yours?"

"Oh, but my dear Sango… how could you not be mine? God must have simply made me one of your asisstants on purpose. Don't you see? We are meant to be together!" he officially declared his love, but only received something between a glare and a very doubtfull sight, below her long eyelashes.

"Sorry I'm late!" Kagome's entrance in the private room stopped one of Sango's probably bitter words. "Miroku, can you excuse us?" she nicely asked him. Visibly disappointed, Miroku left out a hard sigh and only got out after kidnapping one of Sango's hand and kissing it fiercely, since that was the only bit of her skin her could have clear access to. Five minutes after he left Sango was still as red as a tomato. Rin giggled and Kagome simply shook her head. "When are you to going to understand?"

"Hmm, that pervert has no right of claiming me as "his Sango"!" the young woman stood proudly, this time making both the women burst out in laughter. "What?"

"I must admit that ever since he's come here he has been acting a bit too weird, sometimes touching or staring at what he wasn't allowed, but he has never ended up saying such things to anyone. Still,since Sango showed up here, he's been acting head-over-heels. I mean, I've never even imagined that Miroku could possbily say things like that to a woman. You can't imagine the surprise I got when I started hearing his declarations and noticing the bruises his "goddess" blessed him with." Kagome told Rin as if the two had been long-time friends.

"I noticed that he is very infatuated with her…" Rin added.

"That's mildly put!" Kagome answered and they both laughed together again.

"Hm! You wouldn't enjoy this much if you were his target!" Sango said, upset with the scene Miroku had put her through and the laugh the two young women were currenly involved in. She was practicly fuming.

"Oh, come on! It's not like you hate it! I've seen your face! You like him, otherwise you wouldn't turn bright red every time he tells you something…"

"Or does something inappropriate!"

"To put it mildly!" Sango fought back the two angrily. Still, she had to admit that the asisstant did look incredible for a doctor and was awfully sweet… in spite of his gestures and touches. She did like him, but she'd be damned if she admitted it any time soon. Humphing some more, Sango took her seat on a large sofa and waited for Rin and Kagome to end their gossip over her and that male nurse who had more than just a crush on her. "Are you done yet?" she whined after several more minutes.

"Just two more minutes!" Kagome pleaded almost like a kid, acting in a way that Sango had never seen her until now. Looked like she had managed to find in Rin the friend she had never had back on Earth. That made Sango smile aswell and determined her to patiently wait for the two to finish they small-talk, without whinning again.

Immediately after her therapy session together with Sango and Kagome, Rin decided it was time for exploring this place that seemed huge.

It was true that she wasn't thrilled about the fact that the walls, furniture and clothes everybody wore were white…. But she gave this place's creator many points for the beautiful carving and paintings on the walls. Apparently every room had shown on it's ceiling it's respective occupant's destiny. She considered it to be both amazing and sad: not all wanted to remember their death or life… but it was the truth.

Starting to walk through the entire hallways and rooms, noticing all the people, the nurses and the doctors, Rin realised that these were all the people that had died aproximately in the same time as her. She found their number both painful and scary. Now, more than ever, she thought at the real consequences of her suicidal act. But still, she had had to be here. Thinking all-of-a-sudden at him, Rin smiled and realised that deing dead couldn't possibly be better or worse than alive… for she alone… without her protector.

Rin wasn't paying atenttion, walking with her head bowed and the sight only 2 centimeters before her feet, when, suddenly, she hit something hard… or someone. She fell instantly backwards and, shaking her head, heard a voice she surprinsingly knew.

"Feh… what do you think you're doing? Crashing into people like that?" Rin looked up only to see a man with features so similar to the one's she desperately loved: the same long silvery, almost white hair, same pale skin and the same golden orbs. However, when she stared into these eyes, she found them to be closed for her and learned that she couldn't drown herself and forget about everything inside them. This wasn't Sesshoumaru. But it was…

"Inuyasha!"" she said, widening her brown eyes.

"Rin!" the man shouted in shock, but recovered fast and leaned to her, grabbing her arm carefully and getting her back on her feet. (AN: I know, too many "her"s) "Rin, what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here! What are you doing here?" she almost shouted herself and stared puzzled at him. "You… died six months ago…"

"Six months… one second… it's all the same thing around here! Well, when I ended here I kinda' started destroying things. I think you are the only one who can imagine how mad I would have been if… I had lived…" he ended a bit disappointed, but his spirits rose up once again, as he looked at her with a strangely calm in his eyes. "But I guess God loves me a lot… I was given a second chance here… I became a guardian." He said suddenly filled with pride, placing his hands on his hips and lifting his muscled chest up, talking as if she knew what a "guardian" was and had been swept off her feet by his rank. She only glance puzzled at him and he left out in a single breath all the air he held inside his lungs.

"What?" Rin asked dumbly.

"A guardian is a person who had the power, both phisically and morally of helping some doctors in dealing with… strong-headed patients."

"You're a bodyguard?" serose an eyebrow.

"What can I say… they've had a lot of paranoid people around here…" he praised on himself and she giggled a bit, clamping a hand over her mouth.

"I see not even death could change you, Inuyasha."

"Yeah, well… I see that you changed though… It's my brother, isn't it?" he asked sadly. She could only nod, feeling her tears returning.

"I had to find him and at least try to bring him back… This was my last chance and I just took it… I couldn't see him like that anymore… Having him with his eyes closed, barely breathing, stuck in that status for so long was more that I could take." She confessed and closed her eyes tightly, trying to keep her grief away.

"You didn't see him, did you?" Inuyasha asked after some time, allowing her to calm down. Instantly, she looked up at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"This place is huge… cause' we don't only get… you know… dead people. For example, I'm mainly working in the, um, animal section… let's say that today was a rarity…" he informed her and smiled sheepishly. She remained silent, not knowing what to believe of him.

"Ok… what does that have to do with Sesshoumaru?"

"There is also a place where the ones in a coma state are…"

"What! Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she burst aloud, forcing everyone around to stare at them. "Where… where is he?" she asked and grabbed his arm, pulling him someplace she did not even know.

"Hey… I have warn you that he is exactly the way he was on Earth… because…"

"Come pantients are in between all Universes. I know!" she ended for him, but stopped.

"Yo!" Inuyasha knocked on the door he had stood in front of. "Myouga… I'm leaving for a while… be back soon!" he shouted but didn't wait for a reply and, grabbing Rin's arm, started running like crazy through the white halls.

"Wait… Inuyasha!" Rin shouted out of breath.

"Trust me, I know where we're going!" he assured her and ran further away.
