Epilogue

(Two Days Later)

Rin woke up to a major pounding in her head and she felt really hungry. She quickly took in her surroundings. She was in Sesshoumaru's bedroom. She was alone but her magic told her, and another sense she couldn't recognize, that Sesshoumaru, Kagome and Inuyasha were all down stairs in the kitchen, eating. Rin sat up trying to remember what happened the night before but it was a blank because of the headache she had. She slowly go off the bed, but feeling weak she fell back down.

The eating downstairs stopped and chairs were heard scraping across the floor. Rin then heard the fridge door open and close. Finally footsteps were heard walking up the stairs. Rin frowned in confusion, wondering why her hearing was better when memories of last night hit her like a ton of bricks.

I'm a v...vam...vampire. Rin thought. No...I can't be one. I don't want to be one.

The door opened to reveal Kagome and Inuyasha. "It's about time you got up. We were worried about you." Kagome said sweetly, handing Rin a bottle of red liquid. "Here, drink this...it will help with the hunger and the headache." Kagome sat down on the bed besides Rin.

"I don't want to drink blood," Rin said, but did the opposite of what she said. The smell of the blood couldn't be resisted, so she drank the whole contents of the bottle. Almost immediately, her headache and hunger disappeared. She gave the bottle back to Kagome. "He turned you too, did he?" She said, not wanting to say Sesshoumaru's name.

"Yea, at first it was horrible, but now it isn't that bad. I'm sure you'll get used to it." Kagome replied.

Inuyasha nodded in agreement.

Rin glanced down sadly at the sheets. "A vampire killed my family. I don't want to be one of them."

"Sorry, Rin. There is no way out but death. You don't want to die, do you?"

"No. I guess not." Rin said, starting to trace a flower design with her finger that she found on the quilt.

"So what are you going to do about Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"I...don't know."

"Did you love him before you found out what he was?" Kagome asked.

"I...don't...know. I...liked him a lot, but I don't know if it was love." Rin said softly.

Kagome sat silently wondering what to say next. Inuyasha walked out of the room.

"Where is Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked. "I..."

"Sesshoumaru thought it best to stay away for awhile while you got used to the idea of being a vampire. He feels horrible for what he did. He thinks it would have been better if you had never met."

"NO!" Rin yelled forcefully, "I'm glad we had met. He shouldn't feel horrible for what he did, it is in his nature. I...I...guess...I...did...love him. I was...just afraid...to become my...worst nightmare."

Kagome put an arm around Rin's shoulder. "You don't have to become like the man who killed your family. Being a vampire doesn't make you like him at all."

Rin just sat in silence, tears starting to flow down her cheeks. "I'm such a horrible person," She finally said, sobbing. "I yelled at him that I hated him. He must feel so terrible. How could I say such a thing? I LOVE HIM! Not hate him."

Inuyasha came back with Sesshoumaru behind him when Rin spoke. Sesshoumaru immediately passed Inuyasha and went toward Rin. He gathered her into his arms. "Shh." He said softly pulling her to him tightly. "It's alright."

"I'm so sorry Sesshoumaru. I was completely horrid to you. Will you ever forgive me?"

"Shh. Of course I forgive you. How could I not forgive you? And do you forgive me?" Sesshoumaru said soothingly, combing his fingers through her hair with one hand and holding her with the other.

"Yes, I forgive you Sesshoumaru." Rin said confidently.

Kagome and Inuyasha silently sneaked away. Sesshoumaru pulled Rin back down on to the bed. "You need more sleep," Sesshoumaru said. "And a bit later more food. Then you will feel better."

"Not totally better." Rin said.

"Why not?" Sesshoumaru asked, a bit worried.

"I'll only feel better if you'll kiss me." Rin said.

Sesshoumaru smirked. "Well, then we better do that too."

Sesshoumaru and Rin kissed passionately, then they pulled away and slowly fell asleep.

The End

Okay...so I lied about the last chapter being the end. Because other reviewers and myself thought it was a bit abrupt. So inspiration hit and I was able to make an epilogue that seems to make it not such an abrupt ending. So sorry to all those reviewer who thought they had reviewed their last time. Now you can review once more. Ain't that great...
