The Art of Breaking

Chapter 9: A Burning Agony

(Rin's POV)

Her body felt weightless as the wind from the sky made a chill crawl up her spine. Where am I? she asked herself as she opened her eyes, only to see a blur of what she thought was her one and only love Sesshomaru.

"Where...are..we..going?" she muttered as her thoughts loomed between conscious and unconsciousness. She felt relief as she looked up into the face of Sesshomaru. She couldn't believe he had come back to save her and actually be with her. He had removed her from the forest and was now taking her far away to a place where her soul could be pieced back together.

"Thank you Sesshomaru," she muttered as she let her dreams and memories flood her mind, once again making her sleep. Taking her to a world where she dreamt of him and the happiness he would give her.

"Hehehe," came the reply of the man that had tortured her very being, raping her body and mind, Naraku. Somehow the shadow of the moon and the blurriness of Rin's vision had made him look like Sesshomaru.

"Just wait, you won't be thanking me later," he replied as he speed off past the clouds to a place he called home. A place where there was no light, just the darkness. Darkness no human was ever meant to experience.

(Sesshomaru's POV)

Sesshomaru continued to follow any sent left by the bastard that had taken his precious Rin away. When I get my hands on that bastard...all hell will break loose, he thought as his eyes changed to a pulsing, blood red for a split second. He knew once he got a hold of Naraku, he would rip him to shreds, causing him just as much pain that had been placed upon Rin.

There would be no mercy.

Sesshomaru continued to pass through the forest, going futher into the darkness that carried many mysteries and many monsters he was bound to run into. He jumped over from to tree to tree, landing on the ground, leaving indentions in it as he continued.

He won't have you Rin, he thought as he was stopped abruptly by the strange sent of clay and dirt that filled the air around him. The darkness lay dormant around him, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye, a pink ray of light was shot and hit a tree to right of him, barely missing his right arm.

"Kikyo, what are you doing here?" he asked to the shadows that consumed the light from the moon. The one real person that had caused all of Rin's pain had come back to grace him with her presence.

You will not live like I let you last time you worthless bitch, he thought as he felt his golden orbs turn to a pulsing anger filled blood red. He quickly turned around to only face one more arrow coming his way.

Without even thinking of what to do, Sesshomaru jumped into the air with no hassel, landing on a near by tree branch, barring his teeth to the direction where he knew the priestess was.

"You will not harm my love," came the cold, dead, monotone voice of Kikyo. She walked up to the tree, giving light to the dark area with her soul collectors. They hovered around her like a child staying with her mother, never wanting to leave. They illuminated her and gave her light to the place Sesshomaru was.

"He doesn't love you, you worthless clay pot. You will pay for the damage you have caused me and Rin!" he both yelled and growled as he removed his tokijin from its sheath and ran towards Kikyo, his eyes burning brighter and brighter by the second. His fangs began to grow longer, as his rage and anger towards this "woman" began to pulsate through his veins. She had caused him the pain that radiated within his heart, but worst of all she had caused him to loose his precious Rin to a cruel, monster that would never love her like he would and could.

"Haha, you can't touch me!" came the reply of the cold, heartless Kikyo. She was quickly lifted by her soul collectors, only missing the blade of Sesshomaru by a mere inch. Her death would come, and it would come with no mercy, just like Naraku.

"You will pay," Sesshomaru growled as he placed his sword back and his finger nails turned into the poison whips that could kill her with one swipe. He quickly pulled his hand back and shot it forward, towards the preistess that hovered in the air by her soul collectors.

This time, her soul collectors were to slow, and her arm was sliced by the poison whip. It seemed to only be hanging on by the flesh of the earth. Now she would die, a slow and painful death by the poison. It would soon consume her body, leaving her to deal with horrific pain, making her wish he would have killed her off with one slash of his sword. She would now feel the pain that consumed his soul and knawed at his heart.

"AHHHH!!! You bastard!!" she screamed as the pain ate at her arm. She quickly hovered away, into the midnight sky weeping and cursing Sesshomaru's name only leaving him to deal with the anger and rage that still remained in his blood.

I will save you Rin from that bastard, he said as his fingernails turned back to normal and he continued on his journey to find Naraku, cutting through any tree or branch that stood in his way.

(Rin's POV)

The coldness of the wind from the midnight sky had left Rin as she laid in a soft and silky bed on the floor of the dark, eerie castle.

"Give her a soft and comfortable place to sleep. She needs the best care," she had heard who she thought was her lover, Sesshomaru. She continued to toss and turn in her sleep as the nightmare of Naraku continued to haunt her dreams and memories. It seemed that the damage he had caused had cut through her day and sunk into her memories.

"I can't sleep anymore," she thought as she stood up, feeling a little nauscious. Oh no, I think I am sick at my stomach now and I can't see a thing because it is so dark in here, she thought as she stood there, looking around to find some sort of light so she could manaveur her way around.

"Be careful my dear, you don't want to hurt yourself. You especially need to be carefull of our baby," Came a voice within the shadows.

"Sesshomaru?" she asked puzzled. To many things were racing through her mind all at once. She felt sick and now there was something about a child. Wait...no it can't be, She thought as she remembered the night before and let out a gut wrenching cry as she realized what had happened and who she was talking to.

Suddenly a light was lit in the corner only to reveal her baby's father, Naraku. "That's right Rin, you are having my child," he replied as a cruel grin formed on his face. The light from the candle played shadows across his face, making his dark brown eyes burn with an ember of death.

Her world, her soul, her heart, her life was over. She quickly fell down to her knees and cupped her face in her hands as she sobbed. What would she do? How would she raise a child that she could never look at without remembering the pain that was induced upon her?

"You..you Bastard!!" she screamed as her head reached the ground with her hands still covering her face. There was nothing she could do. The darkness was the only thing left that could comfort her in her time of need.
