.::Winter Downfall::.
.:Rin's Illness:.
"Rin, you awake already?"
Rin's eyes opened, she was in the same situation she was in at the cave.
"Phew, glad you're alright. Just lay here and rest."
It was Kagome..?
Rin didn't wish to move, she was still a bit tired. But the sad tone in Kagome's voice made her wake up only a little to listen what was going on around her.
She heard Kagome close the curtain of the hut she was placed in alone. It was midnight.
"Sesshomaru, she's alright.."
Rin heard Kagome say, she heard the sound of Sesshomaru's feet turn to her.
"But... she has an illness... it's much like a desease or something close to that. And... I'm not sure if it can be cured.." Kagome said with a shaky voice as if she was about to cry.
Rin's eyes widened, then she continued to listen.
"...I'm... I'm sorry.."
Kagome fell to her knees and began to sob, as if it was her fault...
Rin sat up and picked out the crack of the curtains. Sesshomaru stood motionless until finally Inuyasha peered into the moonlight.
"It's not easy to loose someone you care about Sesshomaru... Kagome don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. It's his." Inuyasha sneered.
Sesshomaru glared at his brother, "How is it my fault anyway?" He asked, not feeling to be blamed.
"For taking her around with you, I thought you hated humans!"
"I no longer hate them. I've shown that. I've shown my patience with this girl, with Kagome, but not you."
Sesshomaru turned away and sat on the large rock he had always been sitting upon.
"Don't you understand?! Rin's going to die because of you!!"
"Taking out your anger on me again, halfbreed?"
"Sesshomaru, Rin is sick! Why won't you listen?!" Inuyasha clenched his fists, yelling now.
"Inuyasha stop it!" Kagome screamed as she threw her sobbing face into her hands.
Rin covered her mouth, wimpering a bit as she began to cry. Letting out a tiny wail no one was able to hear with all the arguements going on outside kept her knowing she was alone. She slid into the blankets beneath her and closed her eyes. Tears began to stain her young face slowly.
So... I really am going to die... with no one to save me this time...
Rin wiped away her tears then smiled up at the open window above her that held a beautiful view of the full moon.
