Sesshomaru runs with Kagome in his arm to the bedrooms of his castle.

"There, now you stay here until I figure out what to do with you" Sesshomaru roughly releases Kagome into the room, making her fall to her knees. With that, the door is locked and she is there to stay.

What the heck do I want that wench for. I don't need her, so why do I have her in my palace. I can kill her right now and I wouldn't care although I have more important matters than to deal wth Inuyasha's wench.

With that Sessomaru, drenched in Inuyasha's blood, changed his blood stained robed into a new one and ran off to meet with the lord from the Eastern Lands to settle a score.

---------------MEANWHILE----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I hope we can save Kagome" Sango worriedly says to Miroku.

" don't worry, she's with Inuyasha. Nothing will happen to her"

"I hope shes' ok" Shippo says, wiping a tear away.

"Don 't worry shippo, all will be ok" sango cuddles him

Kirara flys them to the castle. Upon reaching their destination, they follow the Wind scar Inuyasha had left behind. All is quiet and the scent of blood is strong. They run to the clearing to see blood everywhere and a lifeless Inuyasha laying on the ground.

"Inuyasha" Miroku and Sango yell.

Sango covers up Shippo's eyes while Miroku approaches Inuyasha to see if he's ok.

"Inuyasha, are you ok?" Miroku checks his pulse and turns to Sango.

"He's gone"

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

"Ugh..what am I supposed to do in this room" Kagome collapses onto the bed. " there is absolutely nothing to do. I'll probably die of boredom before Sesshomaru can even kill me"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! In comes a servant carrying a plate of rice and fish and places it on the table. As the servant was entering, rin stood before the door, waiting for the servant to leave. Rin walks into the room and stands next to the bed, peering at Kagome with her eyes closed.

"Hi" rin says happily. Kagome's eyes open and a smile spreads across her face seeing the child.

"Hi, what's your name?"

"I'm rin, you must be Kagome. Lord Sessomaru was muttering something about you when he left. Lord Sesshomaru leaves a lot, but I like being with him. Sometimes he lets me travel with him if it's not dangerous"

Kagome wonders why Sessomaru would keep a young girl if he despises humans so much. Why was he muttering my name anyways. Hm..

"Do you want to play? I have no one to play with and Jaken is a boring meanie, so will you?" Rin's face all bright and cheery waits for Kagome.

"Sure, I'm bored here anyways. Let's go"

Rin holds Kagome's hand and leads her through the many hallways to get outside. Kagome stares at the scenery and is amazed at how beautiful it is up here with the trees and animals and flowers. Rin continues guiding Kagome until they reach a garden full with all the flowers you can ever imagine.

" I love flowers and they smell soooooo nice that I come here every day." Rin dashes into the garden laughing and picks flowers while Kagome sits on the hill overlooking the garden, solemnly thinking about Inuyasha.

Inuyasha, why'd you have to die? I love you. Why? Why? What was it you were going say to me but didn't finish?

A tear rolls down Kagome's cheek and she puts her head into her arms. Rin is meanwhile holding a huge bouquet of daisies, chrysanthemums, roses and irises that she can barely see where she is going. She sees Kagome on the top of the hill and runs with the bouquet to her.

"Kagome, look what I have for you" Rin yells delightfully

Kagome raises her tear stained face to see an overjoyed 8 year old running with a bouquet of flowers toward her.

Rin approaches Kagome and stands with the bouquet behind her back.

"Kagome, this is for you" Rin shows the bouquet and gives it to Kagome

Kagome smells the flowers and her sadness slowly melts away with the love and compassion the young child has shown her.

"Thank you Rin, I love flowers." Kagome puts her face into the flowers to smell them again, a smile creeping onto her face.

"Kagome, come with me, I have something else to show you." Kagome, holding the bouquet, runs with Rin to a beautiful river with a cascading waterfall.

"Oh Rin, this is..is… beautiful. How did you find it?"

"Lord Sesshomaru lets me explore this part of the castle but he says I can't go anywhere else except the garden and this waterfall."

" Kagome, wanna go swimming? I can't swim well, but there's a shallow end near the waterfall where I play by myself, but playing with someone else is some much more fun. Please?"

Seeing the child's yearning to play with her, Kagome sucked up the sorrow in her heart and agreed to join her.

They splashed and played for over and hour when suddenly giant logs were coming down the waterfall.

"AHHHHHHH" screamed Rin.

-----------------------Meanwhile-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Sesshomaru is dashing towards the Easter Land to meet with Lord Sunksei, he's thinking about what happened that day.

Why did I hurt that half-breed's wench? She's no use to me. I should have just killed here then and there. But she had this beautiful aroma of vanilla and lilac. Stop it. I am not going to fall for a human. Am I falling for a human? No, I do not want stupid Inuyasha's wench. I should go back and kill her,but I this meeting is very important.

Sesshomaru continues dashing at his super fast speed when suddenly he stops in the middle of his forest. He inhales deeply and smells vanilla and lilac but also the scent of Rin.

What the heck is that wench doing out of that room. I ordered those servants to keep her locked in there until I came back and what is Rin doing with her?

With anger pulsing through his veins he turns around and at the speed of light, dashes toward the smell.

That wench is dead when I get to her

"KAGOME!!!! Help me!!!" rin screams as she's being carried downstream by the current.

Kagome struggles staying above water , sputtering water constantly.

"Rin, I'm coming for you!!!!!!1"

Kagome starts swim toward scream and flailing Rin but is suddenly hit hard in the head by an approaching log, forcing her underwater.

"Kagome!!!!" rin screams, seeing what just happened.

Kagome, being carried by the current underwater, hears Rin and resurfaces to save her. Sputtering and breathing deeply, Kagome grabs onto a log and tries swimming closer to Rin who is now bobbing up and down in the water as she is being carried downstream. Kagome's eyes widen as she sees another waterfall approaching. Kagome lets go of the log and screams,

"rin hold on tight, I'm coming"

Kagome swims faster and faster until she is only a foot away from her. The waterfall is quickly approaching and the logs are about to hit us. The waterfall is only a few feet away and I'm 6 inches from Rin when

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" screams Rin as she's on the edge of the waterfall.

"Gotcha, I say while holding onto a rock jutting out of the side of the river and holding Rin by her wrist.

Rin looks up relieved, but looks down and screams again. There is a 60 foot drop to the bottom which will kill both of them. The rock Kagome is holding onto can't hold them both and it's slowly coming out.
