Chapter Seven :

She would soon be free of all her problems. It was just a few more feet to the gate, and then she would be free...until sun set. Then, if she was not back, she was screwed...but until then...

"Hey! Where do you think your going!" a voice called out. Sinya gasped softly and stopped, one foot still in the air. Turning her head ever so slightly, she looked over at the person, and gave a sigh of relief.

"Kagome! Shit, don't do that to me again!"

"What? And what do you look like a kid?"

"I'm busting out of here."

"...please tell me that Rin dose not look like you..."

Sinya grinned sheepishly and shrugged her shoulders. Kagome already knew the answer to that question, so there was really no need to respond. Turning on her heel, Sinya throw her hands behind her head, and continued walking. There was no way in hell she was waiting for Kagome to start in on her about the responsibilities of being an 'elder'.

"W-wait! Sinya! We need to talk about this!"

"When I get back, I promise 'Gome!"

And with that, Sinya tapped into her demon powers, and high tailed it out of there. A few miles later, she was leaning against a building holding her chest. A slow smile curved her lips as she caught her breath. She was free.

Standing up straight, she turned the corner, and found the one thing that could always make her smile. Even if Sesshomaru found out she was gone, he would never think to look for her here.

"What should I do first?" Rin pondered as she gazed at herself in the mirror. It was weird looking at someone, knowing that they are you, but they were not what you remembered looking like.

Turning she started toward the door, but was stopped by Miroku blocking the way out. Pushing her shoulders back, she glared at him. "What do you think your doing?"

"Preventing you from pissing Sesshomaru off any more then he already is. Running away will not solve anything Sinya."

She almost laughed from the irony of that statement. She had no intention of running anywhere, and the person he was trying to help, had already fled hours ago. Biting the inside of her cheek, she smiled brightly at him. Which made him look very nerves...

"Miroku, you don't need to worry about me running away. I was just planing on going out for a little."

The man before her sighed and shook his head no before grasping her shoulders and pushing her back toward Sesshomaru's room. "It's best if you just stay in your room for now. Let his temper cool before you venter outside."

"But --"

"No buts. After what you and your friends pulled, I'm surprised he didn't take them and you apart!"

Rin blinked her now blue eyes in confusion. Sinya had not mentioned Sesshomaru being angry at her. That damned fox demon had tricked her! She had known she wasn't aloud to leave the house and...that's about when it hit her.

"Oh...I see now..."

Miroku grinned. "I'm glade you agree with me. Now lets get you back before he finds you..." he stopped talking as a shadow fell over him. Chills ran up and down his spine as he slowly turned his head. "Sesshomaru, I was just...showing Sinya around and --"

"Rin, why do you look like that?" was all the demon asked, ignoring Miroku completely.

The modern day monk blinked, and looked form 'Sinya' to Sesshomaru several times. Before he was even able to mutter a single word. "...Rin?"

The young girl laughed nervously and started backing away from the two men. "Sesshomaru-sama! Wha-what are you doing here?"

"...Rin, explain yourself."

"I...ah, woke up like this?"

The demon lord shook his head no, and looked at her a little more coldly. Rin flinched away from him, her head lowered. "She just wanted some time to think..."

"You don't know here. Why would you help her?"

"She asked...and when she's mad, she's kinda scary...like her friend Kagome. I saw her yelling at Inuyasha this morning..."

"Go to your room Rin. We will talk of this after I retrieve Sinya."

"Yes sir..." head still lowered to the ground, Rin sighed and slowly walked down the hall toward her own room. She knew better then to try and argue with her guardian. It would only end with more punishment and a head ache fro his lecturing. She just hoped Sinya knew better...the fact that she had devised this plan however, spoke the opposite.

"Another please!" Sinya asked, pushing her large mug forward slightly.

"I think you've had more then enough young lady."

"I didn't ask for what you thought. I asked for more. And as long as I'm paying, it shouldn't matter."

"You've already had ten --"

Sinya sat up, slamming her hands down onto the table, and glared at the man. Catching her image in the mirror behind him, she grinned slightly. She didn't look every intimidating at the moment. Shifting her eyes back to the man before her, she smiled slightly. "Look buddy, I'm paying for them, so the more I drink, the more money you get, right? So what's the problem?"

"The problem, is I'm starting to think your actually a under aged demon, and not an under aged human."

"Bah! Look at me! I'm small, I'm cute and --"

"Are using fox magic to change your appearance and are trying to mask your sent with strong perfume." a cold voice stated from behind her. Sinya flinched slightly, but didn't look behind her. She already knew who was there anyway. The problem was getting away from him. His voce stopped her from even shifting in her seat. "Don't even think about it. You are already in trouble for running from me once. Do it again and it is something you will deeply regret."

Staring past the demon bar tender, she sighed. "How did you find me?"

"Your sent."

"It's masked."

"Not enough for a demon such as I."

"Your kinda conceded..."

"And you are a cowered."

Well, that sure as hell got her attention. Turning to face him, she glared at him angrily. "I was unaware that I was not aloud to leave your house on my own."

He lifted an eyebrow, and shifted his eyes up and down her illusion covered body. He smirked when she blushed, and he scowled when she flipped him off. Sighing inwardly, he held out his hand for her. "Come. We are going home."

"That place is not my home."

"It will be soon."

"Over my dead rotting corps it will."

"If you are able to look like Rin, I am sure making yourself look as if you decay will be simple..."

"I...really think I'm starting to hate you a little more ever second we are together."

"Really? I was thinking the exact opposite..."
