Hello people of fanfiction! I hope you all liked my last chapter. : ) : ) Lol! I'll try to make this chapter as long as I can. As long as I don't run into road blocks along the way! I curse upon that evil disease called writers block! Lol! Okay, this is the third chapter.

A Long Needed Visit

I opened my eyes to the sun just rising over the horizon. 'What's going on? What's with the bright light?' I looked around and saw Sesshoumaru sitting against a tree, looking up at the sky. His shirt was still off. 'Oh yeah, I forgot that I wasn't in the castle anymore!' I smiled and sat up.

"So, you're awake," he said looking at me.

I nodded my head. 'I guess I did it! Naraku didn't come and capture me again over night, so maybe he just gave up!' I thought hopefully, even though I knew that it couldn't be true.

"You better do whatever you need to now. When Rin and Jaken wake up, we're going to move around again," Sesshoumaru said with his golden eyes staring into mine.

"Okay," I whispered back.

"Don't wander far! Now that I know that Naraku is looking for you, I don't want him to take you back without a fight!"

I stood up and went into the forest. The trees were a beautiful colour of green and there was a river not too far away from where we stayed. 'This place is beautiful! The water is crystal clear, the trees are fully leaved and the birds sing non-stop.' I smiled happily and took off my shirt to jump into the river. Some fish swam away when they saw me coming. I jumped in with my pants on, just to be safe. 'The water is so refreshing and cool!' I thought as I swam around in the river.

"There's blood all over me! It feels like it was so long ago that I could take a swim like this!"

I dove underwater and waited there for a matter of minutes. 'This is so nice! Way better than at the castle!' I let out a smile and came back up to the surface for air. My black hair clung to my neck and back because of the water and how long it was.

"Tsuto," a guy's voice called.

'Huh?' I turned around, looking everywhere for someone. 'No one's here. I must have heard something!' I thought hopeful.

"Tsuto," Sesshoumaru said while he appeared by the edge of the river.

'Not again!' I turned around and saw Sesshoumaru standing there, fully dressed with an emotionless face.

"…" I couldn't say anything.

'Oh my freaking god, I didn't know that it was Sesshoumaru who called my name the second time!' A small blush slipped to my face as Sesshoumaru just stared with his golden eyes.

"Get dressed!" he said throwing me my shirt, "We're leaving!"

"Okay."

I grabbed my shirt and put it on as fast as I could, not wanting to make Sesshoumaru wait. When I got to the riverbed the demon grabbed me by my wrist, dragging me back to camp. 'Why does he have to do this? Why does he grab me by my wrist when he can just ask me to come with him?'

When we got back to where we stayed Rin, Jaken and Ah-Un were all ready to leave. 'They were just waiting for me.' Sesshoumaru let go of me and walked ahead of everyone else.

"So what did you do to be taken in by lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked me, a little curious.

"He found me in a forest," I replied quietly.

"Oh I see. You must have been in some sort of danger and the lord saved you!" the girl said happily.

"Yeah, I guess you could say it like that."

I glanced at Sesshoumaru, who had been listening to the conversation and looking at the two of us only with his eyes.

"Leave her alone Rin. No girl found near…" Jaken said and then the rest was muffled because Sesshoumaru had put his hand on Jaken's face.

"Oh don't take notice of master Jaken! He tends to talk to himself sometimes! My name is Rin!" she said putting out a hand to shake.

'She is so much like Rain.' I smiled and shook her hand.

"I'm Tsuto, nice to meet you Rin."

All of us continued on in silence until there was a village ahead of us.

"A village," I whispered.

"Should we go through, lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked.

"No, we shouldn't. You can if you wish Rin! Jaken and I will stay around the village," Sesshoumaru said before stopping.

"Alright."

Naraku sat in his castle, beside the open window.

"You failed me Kagura! You were supposed to bring Tsuto back with you!" he growled furious.

Naraku looked at Kagura hatefully as she looked back at him with complete fear in her eyes.

"I almost had her Naraku. Sesshoumaru protected her from me. He said something about if you wanted your mortal mate back, then you would go to him in person and take her from him!" Kagura explained.

"So lord Sesshoumaru has made a challenge to keep a human away from me," Naraku laughed.

Kagura stared in confusion, wondering what was so funny.

"Kanna, show me what Tsuto is doing!" he demanded.

The girl wearing nothing but white walked out of the shadows with her mirror. The mirror showed Rin and me walking to the village that we had seen earlier.

"Naraku if I may ask why does it have to be Tsuto? Why not some other girl from somewhere else?" Kagura asked.

Naraku's eyes fell off the mirror and back to Kagura.

"That Kagura is something only her parents and I know!" he replied a little bit more than annoyed.

Kagura nodded her head and turned to leave.

"Do you want me to send word that you will accept Sesshoumaru's offer?"

"No!"

Rin walked beside me happily. 'This place looks familiar. The surroundings just remind me of something that's so far away!' The people of the village whispered and stared at the two of us as we walked.

"Do you think Naraku has come back?" some whispered.

"Look at the child beside her! Do you think it's hers?" others wondered.

"Tsuto what are they talking about? Do you know them?" Rin asked.

"I'm not sure Rin."

A girl just minding her own business stood out the most of all the other villagers 'That girl, it can't be her! What would be the chances of it being Rain?' I wondered as we walked by her.

"They sure seem to know who you are!" Rin whispered to me.

The girl I noticed caught sight of me and watched us pass. She dropped her basket that she was carrying and ran ahead of us. 'What is she doing?' I thought before grabbing Rin's arm to stop her from walking on.

"Who are you?" she asked curiously.

"I…"

"I'm Rin!" Rin said cutting me off.

The girl's eyes remained on me,

"I'm Tsuto," I replied returning the stare.

"No way! You can't be Tsuto. Father always said that you weren't coming back here!"

"Rain?" I asked in a low voice.

She nodded her head.

'It's her! It really is Rain!' A smile fell onto my face.

"I can't believe it! I haven't seen you since Naraku came for me!"

"So, if Tsuto used to live here, why are all the villagers frightened?" Rin asked looking around at the crowds of people.

"I'll tell you guys everything later! Right now we have to get out of these crowds," Rain said with a smile of happiness on her face.

'I wonder why!' Rain led the two of us back to my family hut.

"So where are mother and father?" I asked seeing what had changed.

"Mother was in the market and father went to work at the river for a while!"

I nudged my sister. 'She's grown so much since the last time I saw her!'

"This is it!" Rain said avoiding people's eyes.

"Still hasn't changed," I laughed,

Rin looked at the size of my parents huts.

"It's huge!" she exclaimed.

Rain walked in first followed by me and Rin. 'Father must be building a bridge to get across the village river. They usually only need him for something like that!' When we just sat down, my mother walked in the hut with food and some new clothing in her arms.

"Rain I got…" she stopped at the sight of me.

'Mother! I can't believe it's really her!' I thought somewhat overjoyed. My mother looked around hesitantly incase someone was near by.

"Tsuto?" she whispered surprised.

Rin was a little confused. She didn't know what had happened at Naraku's castle and I intended to keep it that way. Nobody else had to know about the pain he caused, especially not Rin. 'Well at least she remembers who I am!'

"Mother," I replied trying to avoid her gaze.

"Where is he? Is he near here?" my mother asked with terror in her voice.

"Where is who?"

"Naraku."

I froze at the sound of his name. Every time one thought about him came to mind, it sent a chill down my spine.

"Rin, stay here and talk to Rain for a while. Get to know her a little!" I whispered to the young girl before getting up.

I walked over to my mother and looked at her with anger in my heart.

"Mother can I talk to you for a while in the other room?"

She nodded and we both went into the room next to us. 'I have to know why she let Naraku take me away! I need to find out without Rin or Rain hearing a word!' I thought as we both got comfortable.

"Is that your child?" my mother asked.

"M…my child! No that's Rin. She was with Sesshoumaru and Jaken!" I explained, astounded that she would ask me that question.

"Sesshoumaru?"

'Damn I shouldn't have said that!'

"So uh, how's father doing?" I asked changing the subject.

"He's doing fine, but he hasn't really been the same since…"

"Why'd you let Naraku take me mother? I was happy here with you, father and Rain!" I blurted out.

Everything was silent for a few minutes and then she finally tried to explain.

"Tsuto before you were born, about fifteen years ago, Naraku came to the village. He threatened that if we did not do what he asked, he would destroy everything."

'That sounds like him alright. That sick bastard!'

"What did he want?" I wondered.

"Naraku had told your father and me that there was something he desired in the village, something he could feel coming that he had to have! At first we really didn't understand, but then the demon started to become angry!

"He told us that our first born girl would be able to do something no other woman could do…"

"Naraku needed me to have his child!"

My mother nodded.

"You were the only one who could grant his desire, so when a year passed and you were born, Naraku paid another visit. Your father and I had promised you to him to save the village. Naraku said that when five years passed he would come and take you to the castle!"

"So you just sat there! You didn't say anything to me!"

"What could I possibly have done? Refused to hand you over and let him destroy the village and still take you away?"

'I feel so selfish doing this! All I can think about is how betrayed I felt when Naraku came!'

"Naraku's not like you think he is mother. He didn't keep his promise. The only thing that was true was that he would keep me alive until the day I die!" I told her.

My mother looked confused.

"Remember how he promised not to hurt me? Let's just say that he didn't keep it! When I tried to escape from Naraku, he caught up to me and brought me back to the castle. The bastard beat me unconscious mother."

She wasn't really surprised at what I had told her.

"If Naraku found me now, now that I've finally gotten away from him, he would probably chain me to a wall and only let me go to take me to his chamber!"

I had tried to make the words sound horrible so she could know all the pain I felt everyday. 'He won't capture me again! He won't ever get another chance to hurt me in any way!'

"You ran away from him!" my mother asked.

'She wasn't surprised that he broke his promise to them. Mother had only cared that I had gotten away from Naraku!'

"Yeah I got away from him! I can't stay here for very long, otherwise Naraku will have a chance to find me!" I said standing up.

"Aren't you going to stay until your father gets home?"

"I couldn't do that. I wouldn't be able to stand to see his face when I leave again, how sad he would be! Please don't tell him about me coming here!" I replied.

"Listen Tsuto, I'm sorry that your life was this way. I just wish that I could've done something better for you!" my mother said in a low shattered voice.

'Mother looks so sad. She doesn't want me to leave again! She looks almost exactly like she did the day Naraku took me away!'

In a sorry kind voice I said, "Don't worry about it mother. Everything will be fine now, I'm sure of it!"

With a smile on my face and tears in her eyes we hugged each other tightly. 'I have longed for this for so long. To be held by someone who loves you with all their heart and not by someone who treats you like some toy that can be use whenever!' A few minutes passed and we let go of one another.

"Good bye mother," I whispered to her as I could feel her tears that had fallen on my head.

I walked inside of the room where Rin and Rain were. Rain looked at me kind of scared. Rin had told her all about Sesshoumaru and how he had found me. She also told her not to tell our mother so she wouldn't worry.

'Rain I have to leave you again! As much as it pains me to do it, it has to be done. I don't want her to end up hurt or even worse!'

"Tsuto I don't want you to go away again! You have to stay here with me, mother and father!' she said as tears fell down her face.

"You're too young to understand right now Rain. I have to go incase something bad happens if I stay! No matter how much I don't want to leave, I have to," I explained to her.

Rin watched and listened intently to us.

"Good bye Tsuto. Please come back again!" Rain said as she clung to my waist.

"I will, and that's a promise!"

I left my mother and sister and headed to the forest. 'I won't go see father. He wouldn't let me leave the village again if he saw me! Mother and I have made up, but I still can't really forgive her for just standing there, watching me leave!'

"I liked your sister Tsuto, she was a nice person!" Rin said happily as we walked.

On the outside of the village in the forest were Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and Ah-Un, waiting for us.

"What took you two so long?" Jaken said with anger and annoyance.

"Nothing Jaken!" I replied as I could feel tears coming.

"That's master Jaken to you!" the imp cried.

I glared at him coldly as I walked by him.

"Leave her be Jaken!" Sesshoumaru demanded.

A little shocked, Jaken walked on in the direction we were heading before. Rin jumped on Ah-Un's back and rode behind the imp. Sesshoumaru walked up behind me.

"Did you find what you were seeking?" he asked me.

"I found my mother and sister there," I replied quietly.

'I swore to myself that I would never cry unless I needed to! This is not a needed time to bawl my eyes out!' I thought holding back the tears that were trying to break free.

"To meet nevermore," I whispered, remembering that my mother had said it to me every night.

End of Chapter 3

Yes everyone that was chapter 3! Man I'm so proud of myself. I know To meet nevermore is from the second Inuyasha movie, Castle Beyond the Looking Glass. I just thought that it would fit there!

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Please R&R, and oh yeah, I was away for a week or so and was unfortunately out of reach of a computer.
