-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right Now: Rin is sitting in a black chariot pulled by the steeds of beeep. Ayano is sitting in the front whipping the poor horses numb, telling them to hurry up. Obviously, Rin is horribly glum as she stares pointlessly out of the window; sure, she isn't dead, but she might as well be, after all, her life is clearly over.

She recalled when Ayano forced her to slave in the cellar, working with rats, mopping the floor. then, next morning, she would have to wash up and dress in a horrible outfit and get ready for school... more or less like academis torture. She looked at her moonstone locket as she continued to desperately hold back tears. The carriage suddenly stopped as it reached a mansion. It might as well have been a needled forretress.

It was purely made of black marble and steel with windows that were adorned with spikes the small chimmney that had no room for even a mouse puffed gray, gloomy smoke sadly, filling the sky above with a never fading gray cloud. As Rin sadly stepped inside her new horrible excuse for a 'home,' she drowned out all sorrows and stared. The mansion was as black on the inside as it was on the outside. Complete with a creaky staircase that led up to her gray room. Her room was decorated with garbage, cobwebs, and dust. There was a small window that let no light in at all because the shutters on the roof reflected all sunlight.

She stared at it all numbly as Ayano slammed the door (Causing the roof and floor to tremble) and locked her in.

Rin sadly took out her pre-delievered suitcase and began to put all her things into the pure black drawers. She sighed as she looked at Ayano's crest, a brokenblack heart with a wilting white rose stabbed through it; a reminder that she was his slave and had no right to disobey him. She wanted to shut it all out; everything, all at once and just give up and crawl away into some bottemless pit.

Meanwhile, outside of Rin's window...

ZAP!

"Well, we're here! Five passengers, we have arrived at... Ayano Mansion... woah... what a creepy, dark, scary place..." Apolla said breathelessly as the six rescuers stared at the palace of darkness and doom. Rather numbly. Each of them thought, 'Rin lives here?'

"So... what's the (rubs) plan?" Miroku said, happy that he was with Sango.

"Erk! Not (SLAP!) THAT! Disgusting freak!" Sango said as she slapped Miroku silly; Apolla watched with a rather amused look as Sango beat Miroku up.

"Hmmm... is this a good time to read the next scroll...?" she innocently asked.

"NO! (times four all at once, Miroku is unconscious)" Apolla raised her eyebrows; her twin really did like to teach weirdos.

"We (slap) do (punch) not (sock) need (punch) that (sock) scroll (slap) read (smack) again!" Sango said as she made her point with Miroku as an unwilling 'demonstrater.' Apolla's eyes widened at the girl's treatment with that poor, poor, poor monk. (She didn't see what Miroku was doing behind his back to poor, poor Sango)

"Ummm... Sango, I think you might have been a little too hard on Miroku..." Kagome said, looking worridly at her black and blue friend.

"Yeah, Sango, I mean he (pokes Miroku three times in the face) isn't even responding to pokes!" InuYasha as he continued to poke his best friend more and more.

"AHHHH! I MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM! HEY, MIROKU... YOU BETTER NOT DIE! YOU HEAR ME? OR ELSE!" Sango threatened as she shook him. Hard. Everyont except Sesshomaru sweatdropped at this.

"Ummm... Sango, well, I don't think that that's the best way to... well... you know, convince him...?" Kagome said, sparing a worried look at her poor, poor, beaten up, abused, disgusting, black and blue, friend. Sango smiled and plopped the unconscious monk in some nearby bushes.

"Why am I here in the first place?" Sesshomaru asked in a bored expression.

"Because you like Rin, DUH! Now, be a good boy- wait no, dog, and go save her- (uses magick to lift Sesshomaru up into the air) hi-yup! (and throws him through Rin's little window) Come back victorious!" Apolla said as the remaining people found good places to hide, just in case guards came around.

Back in Rin's little pathetic excuse for a room:

"Zzzzzz... Zzzzzzz... Zzzzzzzz... ahhh... helllp...ahhh..."

WHUMP!

"Huh! WHO? WHAT? SESSHOMARU?" Rin scrambled up on top of her itchy, scratchy, bed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes; just to make sure that she wasn't dreaming; it wasn't a dream, he was really here!

"What are you doing here...?" she asked, still doubting the reality in this scene.

"What does it look like? Get your suitcase and let's go!" he said grumpily, moody about being here by himself.

"Why? I can't leave! You don't know, I HAVE to stay here!"

"Why? It's not like your his servant."

"I am."

"Wha? Why?"

"I can't tell you!"

"Why?"

"Because...!"

'Because what?" Sesshomaru said, almost showing annoyance in his monotone tone. he was getting rather annoyed; after all, Rin was being impossible again.

"Because...!"

"You know, if this is the thanks I- we get for coming all this way just to rescue you- then I think it was a waste of time!" Sesshomaru said, this time, annoyance clearly highlighting his usually monotone tone; people who knew him well knew he must really be worked up at this time, otherwise he would have just left, he had nothing to lose by leaving, after all.

-sniffle-

He grudgingly turned around, thinking, 'Why him?' and saw that Rin was silently sobbing. He silently walked over to her and waited for the girl to calm down and stop her tears. He was using all his willpower not to barf out or run out of the room; after all, the smell of sad, salty tears was near to a dog demon's worst night mare.

-sniffle-
-sniffle-
-sniffle-
-sniffle-
-sniffle-
-sniffle-

Seeing as she was not going to stop crying anytime soon, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Rather reluctantly of course, but if she didn't stop crying, he swore that he would faint!

"Okay... calm down and stop crying now; the stench is horrible." he commanded with a growl; not making matters any better, since Rin began to sob harder.

"S- (sniffle) SORRY! I always, always, always cause trouble for everyone- (sniffle) and I never know about it (sniffle) But, (wipe, wipe) I- (sniffle) I can't! I can't go back to Shikon Private School!" Rin burst out with tears flowing rapidly down her cheeks.

"Why?"

"I just can't!"

"Look, we are not getting anywhere at all here, so just tell me why you can't go back!"

"(Sniffle) B- Because... Ayano has me engaged!"

"What?" Sesshomaru said, for once, thorougly shocked; though still keeping cool.

"It's because he's rich..."

"Oh... so, do you like him?"

"NO! He is the last person on earth I would ever like! I mean, there are countless things wrong with him!"

"Oh... then why don't you run away?"

"..." Rin made no comment but her shoulders trembled. Sesshomaru didn't notice this though and waited (not so paitiently) for her to speak.

"Well...?"

"..." Rin's eyes began to water horribly, and Sesshomaru was soooo far away from her so he couldn't smell her oncoming verge of salty tears, her shoulders shook violently and her once shiny eyes got covered up by her hair.

Their was a brief silence. Very brief, as Sesshomaru impatiently waited for Rin to speak and Rin tried- to no avail- to get her shoulders to stop shaking.

"Well...? Can you hurry up with your explanation, I mean, we- I don't have all day," Sesshomaru said; seriously getting exasperated with the shaking, sobbing, fifth-grade girl.

"... You're just stupid, aren't you? You just like to be nosy and pry into other people's business, don't you? You're just some snobby, idiotic, rich demon who falsely became my friend and is now forcing me to escape from my own home, huh? Well, you know what? I can't! I'm Ayano's servant! Happy? Mister, I want and need pointless information sooooo badly! IDIOT! I killed my parents! He told me that I set the house on fire! I survived but they didn't! Whose fault was that? MINE!" she screamed; letting out all her fury on Sesshomaru who nerely raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure about the part of you killing your parents, as uncontrolled as your magick is... I never did anything like that."

"Well, your magick is more controllaable than mine!"

"Sure, but magick takes after the conscious... here, use logic, would your parents want you to be enslved to a- this- monster...?"

"... I- I don't know..."

"You are an idot; duh, not! Look, I don't want to explain, here, okay, just think back, remember anything unusual about the house being burnt down?"

"Hmmm... (sniffles at sad memories) yes... there was a black claoked figure that lep through the window... and he... was holding matches!"

"Now, I'll give you one guess who that might be."

"AYANO!"

"See?"

"Yes! So... he (sniffle) murdered them? His own brother? His own blood?" (Sesshomaru just 'left out' the fact that he and InuYasha had been doing that for years.)

"Hmmm... guess so... you know, for the gold and riches."

"Oh... (looks sad) Hey, how do you know all this stuff?" Rin asked as Sesshomaru tensed. He could say that he had been at her house to see where was the smoke was coming from, he could say that he sort of met her a little there. He could also state that he had helped her out and that he had accidentally turned her to Ayano. But he did not.

"...Just a lucky guess, I guess..."

"Oh...so, let's go now!"

"And... how are you going to get down with your big suitcase (that was prepacked, after all, Rin herself was planning escaping)- it won't fit through the window."

"Hmmm... why don't you go first I'll use magick!"

"Okay..."

So, Sesshomaru got to the window and was about to jump when some unseen, invisible force (cough cough Artemis cough cough)pushed Rin ontop of him. They stumbled and both of them fell with a big PLOP! Sesshomaru on the bottom; with Rin on the top. There was another big thud! as (cough cough Artemis cough cough) someone heaved Rin's suitcase ontop of them. Thud!

To say the least, they landed in a rather 'awkward' position. Rin was directly atop of Sesshomaru and just a bit below his sharp armor; Rin thanked God that she had not been impaled by those seemingly sharp spikes. Sesshomaru was on the ground, back facing it with Rin 'comfortably' sitting atop on him. She was not very bruised since Sesshomaru had been a good landing.

-blink blink-

"Ah...! Oh my gosh! I'm sooooo sorry! Ummm... are you hurt? I didn't purposely do that you know, I mean, it was really weird... it was as if some invisible force had pulled me or something! Well... anyways, are you okay? I'm sooooooo sorry! Sorry!" Rin apologized again and again to Sesshomaru while the other five watched with curious eyes; Apolla flinched when Rin said, 'some mysterious force had pulled her.' Quite obviously, her twin had something to do with this; Artemis always did love to play matchmaker... oh well... a hobby is a hobby, she sourly thought, even if it includes forcing people out windows and throwing suitcases on top of them afterwards...

Sesshomaru at this time, was dusting himself off and ignored Rin completely. Miroku saw this moment and took it to his advantage... he made his move on Sango, ah, yes, beautiful, dear, smart, darling, caring...

SLAP!

SMACK!

strong Sango. Miroku went unconscious again while Sango became cherry red once more.

"Hey, what were you and Rin doing in there for sooooo long, sesshomaru? I mean, you were there for like-" InuYasha began but was cut off by a dagger-glaring Kagome.

"InuYasha..." Kagome began dangerously.

"W-what?" InuYasha said as he braced himself for the rampade of sits after it.

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! oh and you know what? SIT!" Kagome said all in one big, saved up breathe. InuYasha had another aquaintance with his very very best friend ever since Kagome put that beeeeep necklace on him; Dirt!

"Hey," Sesshomaru quietly began, "You can start a new life with out Ayano now, you know?"

"Yes," replied Rin with a smile like the sun itself, " I know now, thank you."

"Hmph."
