"I was hoping you would call me one day." Kohaku said happily.

"Hi, Kohaku. I want to talk to you in person. About us." Rin said, whispering the last part.

'Why is she whispering? Is she intending to go back on the plan? Does she really want to be with me?' He wondered in his mind. 'No, no, no I can't be this stupid!'

"Where would you like to talk?"

"Do you remember the Souzou library we used to go to as kids? Why don't we meet there?"

"When? Right now?"

"Yes. I'm already on my way there."

"Great. I'll see you there."

Kohaku smirked as he ended the call.

"You're not seriously going are you?" One of the other members asked him.

"Of course I am! I told you—I have another plan. And you're all going to help me."

Rin sat in the back of the library on a floor pillow pretending to read a book. One of Miroku's agents was sitting at the opposite end of the library.

"Do you have a good view of Rin?" Miroku radioed in to the agent.

"Affirmative. We're just waiting for the suspect to show up."

"He's on his way in. Stay on your toes."

"Yes, sir."

Kohaku slowly stepped into the library and began to approach Rin. In his mind, he wanted to jump for joy because she was so close, but he was angry because she was trying to betray him.

No, she wasn't trying. She already betrayed him. Though, he had no one to blame but himself.

He stared at Rin in astonishment. It was ironic how she looked the most beautiful to him when she glowed from being pregnant by another man.

"You're so pretty." He remarked. The words slipped out of his mouth so naturally, because they were true.

"Thank you." Rin said with a smile. "Please. Sit." She requested as she patted the floor pillow next to her.

Kohaku plopped down and continue to look at Rin's soft, glowing face. How could something so beautiful cause so much pain?

Rin sat silently, looking at the bookshelf to her right while playing with the book in her hand. Kohaku watched a young couple walk past and sad memories began to flash through his mind.

"Why are you so quiet?" He asked as he turned to Rin.

"I'm sorry. It's just…it's been a while since we sat down here…just to talk."

"I know."

"Kohaku?"

"Yes?"

"What happened to you? Why are you hurting so many people?"

"What are you talking about, Rin?"

"That woman you were seeing behind my back." Rin replied as she pulled her legs close to her chest. "Who is she?"

"I wasn't really seeing her." He said simply as he fixated his eyes on a ripped book on the shelf. "I was only sleeping with her."

Rin sighed as she put her legs down flat and tapped her knees. "That doesn't make it any better."

"I hated waiting. I tried so hard to wait but I couldn't. You said you wanted to stay a virgin until after marriage but…" he reached over and gently rubbed her stomach "I guess you changed your mind."

Rin gasped and pushed his hand away. "How did you know about—"

He leaned closely to her ear and grinned. "I'll tell you everything."

Back at the warehouse

Sesshomaru continued to lie on the ground in that garage. He squinted his eyes as an unexpected light pierced his eyes.

Damn. The door was open. It was the perfect opportunity for him to escape but his limbs were still numb. He could feel static running through his body as the feeling returned little by little, but it wasn't enough.

"Who's there?" He called out as he could hear footsteps approaching.

Yuka had shone a flashlight in Sesshomaru's face and he covered his eyes to avoid the light.

"My name is Yuka…and you killed my father."

"Why are you here? To seek revenge?"

"I believe this is the perfect revenge. Seeing you lying helplessly on the ground." She said coldly as she delivered a rough kick in the chest.

Fortunately for Sesshomaru, he could hardly feel it. He could tell the girl was angry, but she wasn't very strong.

Yuka was huffing and puffing angrily. She wanted to do something to cause him real harm. She wanted to burn him with acid, or cut off his feet. She couldn't really do anything because she had strict orders and it was frustrating.

All she could do was give him that injection.

Sesshomaru groaned in agony and frustration as his body went completely numb once again. His strength meter had been set to zero once more.

"You disgusting beast. I'm glad you're being punished for everything you did and all the people you hurt." She shouted. If it weren't so dark, Sesshomaru would be able to see the blazing fire in her eyes.

"Does your leader intend to kill me?"

"Not yet. He's going to keep you alive for a while. Just enough to make you wish you were dead." She told him as she kicked him in the face. "I can't wait until I get the chance to watch you die. After the way you brutally murdered my father, a slow, painful death is exactly what you deserve."

Yuka turned on her heel and exited the garage. She knew she couldn't last very long in there without ruining the mission or fainting. The second she was out the door, she gasped for air. The stench inside was unbearable.

As Yuka headed back upstairs, she took a picture of her father out of her wallet and kissed it. "Everything I'm doing is for you, daddy."

Sesshomaru took small gasps for air through his mouth, trying to avoid the scent of the dead body. He couldn't stop the thoughts, or the flashbacks. They were so vivid, even the taste of blood was on his lips.

He tried to get a hold of himself when the taste began to make him salivate. What was happening to him? Maybe he didn't change after all, maybe it was the injections. Who knows? All he knew was the moment he would face Kohaku, he would be able to tear him to shreds without a second thought.

Kohaku leaned closer to Rin and her body froze. His cold breath stung her neck as he breathed slowly.

He reached his hand into her shirt and placed two cold fingers between her breasts, pulling out the listening device. He put the device between his teeth and snapped it in half.

"What a vulgar place to put it." He said as he spit it onto the ground.

Outside The Library

"What's going on in there?!" Miroku asked his agent in a frenzy. "We can't hear anything!"

"Kohaku discovered the listening device, sir! Should we move in?"

Miroku stepped out of his car and took his gun off his hip. "Move precisely."

He slowly walked into the library and a faint smell of smoke bombs hit his nose. People began to scream and panic as they picked up their children and ran out the door.

"Everyone remain calm! Officers are here to help!" Miroku announced loudly, but to no avail.

People were pushing him out of the way and the smoke was so hard to see through, he couldn't tell who was coming and who was going.

Kohaku grabbed Rin's wrist and pulled her down the stairs.

"Let me go!" She shouted as she hit his hand and tried to pull away.

"Be quiet or I'll be forced to break your arm!" He ordered as he carefully slipped past Miroku with ease.

He had other members outside to create more cover with smoke bombs and help him get to his car.

He pushed Rin in the back of the vehicle and sat next to her.

"Hurry up! Go!" He said to the masked driver.

As the car quickly pulled off, Kohaku put Zip ties on Rin's arms and legs.

"I'm hurting you because I love you." He told her.

Rin struggled for the first few minutes of the drive until she realized everything was hopeless.

Kohaku looked at her and smirked before wrapping his arm around her.

Rin remembered the times when Kohaku's arms were the ones she ran into, but now they were the ones she wanted to get out of.

She was in a kidnapper's clutch, a captor's clasp. She was being shrouded by the clouds that smothered her sunlight.

All she wanted to do was run into Sesshomaru's arms and feel his strong protective embrace surrounding her. She wanted to feel the secret warmth hidden in his soul once again. Why did things have to be so hard?

"Hey, Ken isn't this great? I finally got my girl back."

"Congratulations, boss." Ken said as he continued to drive.

"Um…Kohaku?" Rin said to him quietly.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm really thirsty."

"Oh. Okay. Hey, Ken. Can you stop and get Rin a drink? She needs to stay hydrated since she's pregnant and everything."

"Wow. I had no idea you two had a baby on the way."

"Haha. No. It isn't mine." He said with a nervous chuckle. "Rin was bewitched by a demon. But no worries. After the surgery, things should be back to normal."

"Surgery?!"

"Don't worry!" Kohaku said comfortingly. "I have the best doctors in the city on my team. You won't feel a thing."

Rin was mortified by Kohaku's words. Was he really planning to forcibly perform an abortion on her? She tried to get her wrists out the zip ties once more but couldn't cope with the pain of the chafing, and it was even worse around her ankles. She had to fight somehow. She had to save her baby.

'Oh, Sesshomaru. Where are you? I need you now more than ever.'

Two hours later

Sesshomaru had seen illusion after illusion as he lied on that floor. He could hear the screams of his victims and the faint, echoing sound of Rin's laugh every hour. How could someone as solid as a block of ice, fall apart so easily?

What kind of man would he be after this was all over? Would he be the man that Rin loved, or a ferocious, bloodthirsty monster? It was like the two sides of himself were battling for dominance in his mind. It was frustrating.

Suddenly, the door opened once more and the lights were turned on. Sesshomaru pretended the injections hadn't worn off because he recognized the scent of the person that walked in. But why was he carrying that scent?

Sesshomaru looked at the body against the wall for the first time. It was an old human man. He wasn't sure whom, nor did he care.

"What have you done with Rin?" He questioned angrily, his teeth clenched.

"Ah, so you're aware of her presence. You truly are a dog."

"Answer me!" He shouted.

"No. The welfare of my fiancée is none of your concern."

"I'm going to assume that means she is fine."

"She's alright. She's under anesthesia at the moment."

"What?!"

"The doctors thought it would be best if she slept through the procedure. I don't want anything to happen to her. It's that half breed child I want to get rid of."

"If you do anything to my child so help me—"

"What are you going to do? You're practically in a vegetative state."

Now was the time to prove him wrong. Sesshomaru slowly stood on his feet and bore his fangs at Kohaku. His eyes glowed a feral red and Kohaku's turned a deep black.

"I see you can move. Then it's about time I kill you." Kohaku said.

"Funny, I was thinking the same thing."

WOOOO The showdown is coming! What do you think is gonna happen next?

Wait. I know what you're really thinking. "OMG VAMPHIGHERQUEEN STOP ENDING YOUR CHAPTERS LIKE THIS WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM"

I can't help it I'm just plain evil ^_^
