A Child's Tears

After they reached the village Sesshomaru saw Rin outside playing with Shippo. When Rin saw him she ran to him." Lord Sesshomaru you have returned. Rin is happy to see you. Where is Lady Kagome is she not with you?" She said as she was looking around as if trying to find her. Seeing this almost broke the hearts of everyone in the group. They could all tell that Kagome and Rin had become very close.

Sesshomaru not caring anymore of what the people around him thought bent down to one knee in front of Rin. "No Rin Lady Kagome is not here anymore. But she is safe. She is back in her own village and can not come back anymore." Rin started crying and throw herself at Sesshomaru into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Did Rin do something wrong to make her not love Rin no more? She said she loved Rin. Rin lost another mother why? What did Rin do wrong?" By this time Rin was crying so hard her words where hard to understand.

"Rin you did nothing wrong. It was not your fault. Kagome loves you very much. You know that so do I." He said trying his best to comfort the crying girl in his arms. Inuyasha stepped forward and handed him another letter. " Kagome left this letter for Rin. It might help." He took the letter and opened it up seat Rin on his lap and started reading it tthougho her.

My Dear Sweet Rin

Hun don't cry. You shouldn't cry remember what I told you hunny. You should always smile and be happy. All crying does is make your eyes look like you are really sleepy.

The song of the birds in a meadows that wakes you in the mornings. The kindness others show. Let all of things remind you of me and know that I am with you Hunny. As long as you have any of these things I will never be truly gone. I will be there watching over you by your side.

I Love you. My Little Angel Rin Always yours Kagome

He held Rin till her tears stopped and she fell asleep in his arms. Then laid her down in the hut once more. He placed their letters with her knowing that she would want to keep it close. When he returned outside of the hut he turned to Jaken. "Jaken Lady Kagome requested I pass a message on to you it is as follows. Good-Bye Jaken I don't know if you ever really like me but I did you." Jaken looked at the ground."Thank You My Lord" He said in a low voice. Jaken felt bad for all the times he had been harsh with Kagome all the mean and cruel things he had said. He wished there was a way he could make them up to her and set things straight.

Sesshomaru walked over to UhUn and petted him. "UhUn that was from Lady Kagome I know two always like her and she you." UhUn both heads started snorting and jerking their heads up and down. He once again turned to Jaken. "Jaken we shall be joining Inuyashas group for awhile to help recover the rest of the Jewel Shards that are missing. Return to the manor have the top 4 guards cover the lands 2 guards to a group. Tell the advisers I am on a quest. He will know what to do. Get extra kimonos for Rin and return by morning." Jaken bowed Low "Yes My Lord I will see it is done." With that Jaken ran over and hoped onto UhUn and off they went to do as he was told.

Sesshomaru turned to Inuyasha and the rest of the group " As soon as he returns we may start when you are ready." He then turned to Sango." I have been told many times in the past that you can be trusted with Rin. I have no reason to dought this as it came from Kagome. Therefor If you would be so kind as to keep watch over Rin for me I shall go and hunt for the meal." Sango was stunned and didn't know what to say so she simply nodded her head yes. With that Sesshomaru turned around formed his cloud and vanished into the air.

Everyone turned to Inuyasha. Inuyasha knew this was coming so he thoughght he would haft to make the best of it and tell them all the truth. Even if it did piss his brother off. The only things Sango didn't know was what was in the letter as far as she knew. So she too was interested in what was going on. Everyone was quit so Sango decided to say what everyone was thinking. "Inuyasha what's going on? That Sesshomaru isn't the one we all know."

He looked at all of them and frowned."Fine" Then Inuyasha walked into the hut and got Sesshomaru's letter. "Now I'm not going to read all of it to you guys some of it needs to be private for just him.. But you will understand what is happening when you hear this. Inuyasha took a deep breath to begin. "He let his Pride get in the way of Love and now it is killing him literality." He looked down at the letter and started.

When you said you wanted me and loved me but would not take me as a mate because I was human because of your honor. I don't think you know how bad you truly hurt me. It broke my heart to hear something like that come from your lips. You wanted me to stop looking for the shards to give up my honor for you but you was not willing to do that same for me. It told me you lied you did not love me. You betrayed me in that lie and in that lie brake my heart for the second time and the last thing I will say is she told him She would have stayed if she could have been his mate. He is the reason she left like she did. Now you all understand. " Inuyasha turned and took the letter back inside before he got caught with it. That was the last thing he wanted to feel his brothers wrath.

When Inuyasha told them that his actions was killing Sesshomaru literality they all understood what he meant. When a demon has found their soul mate and they walk away from them. Their soul cries out in pain till it dies if that happens then that demon will die also. Sango wanted to know but surprisingly it was Kikyo who ask. "Inuyasha?" Everyone turned to look at Kikyo surprised she even spoke."As strong willed as your brother is how long do you think he has?" Kikyo ask with a very serious look on her face and worry in her voice.

"2 months maybe a little more". Inuyasha looked at the ground he felt a pain in his chest. He knew he was going to lose his brother and their was nothing he could do about it unless they could somehow get the well open. Even as much as he and his brother had fought and seamed to hate each other he really didn't want his brother dead. Just the thoughght of his brothers death for such a thing was almost unbelievable.

Inuyasha would have never thoughght of his brother. The Princess of Ice the coldest person he had ever seen falling in love with anyone. He had always said that love was for fools and dead men and was beneath him. But as it seams even ice can be melted when it came to sweet loving Kagome. Kagome was the only person who Inuyasha truthly believed was able to befriend even a dead man while in their grave. Kagome had even caught Naraku's eye and that had lead to his death.

When Kagome finely woke up no one in the house even knew she was there. She dressed and tried to cover her sad face and went downstairs to see her family knowing their would be allot of questions that she really didn't feel like answering, not yet anyway. By this time it was already in the middle of the afternoon and she could smell her mothers cooking. But for some reason even that wasn't making her feel any better like it had always done in the past. She had this pain down deep in her chest and to make matters worse she was turning 18 in a short time.

She knew her mother being the way she is would give her a party that she would haft to suffer though in an attempt to make her feel better. The whole idea of a party with the way she was feeling was just to much. But if she refused it would crush her mothers heart. Kagome knew even as bad as she felt that was something she could never do. Just the thoughght of one of her family crying because of her was a pain she didn't want. She had already caused enough people pain from her actions.

As she walked into the kitchen she put on she best smile and stepped though the door. "Hi Mom, Grandpa ,Souta. How are you?" she said Even with her best smile her mother saw right though it. She knew something had happened and planed to ask her later. "SIS ! Your home." Souta yelled as he ran to hug his big sister that he loved so much. "Kagome. Welcome home Dear. When did you get home?" her mother and grandfather asked her.

"Late last night." she simply answered as she seat down in her chair at the table. After 5 minutes of picking at her food it was apparent to all in the room that something was wrong with Kagome but everyone was just glad to see her home and safe for the time being. They all knew she would say something when she was ready. So they didn't push it. Soon Kagome sit her dishes on the counter and went to her room not wanting to be in the kitchen any longer. She could feel the eyes on her and it made her feel very nervous.

Kagome was laying on her bed when she heard a light knock on her door. She knew it was her mother and she would not go away, so might as well get it over with. "Come in." she called out. When the door opened it was indeed her mother just as she had though it was. Her mother walked over and sit on the bed. Kagome sat up pulling her knees to her chest looking at her bed not really wanting to talk.

"Kagome Dear what is wrong? I can tell something is bothering you greatly. It is as if your soul is crying out in pain." Kagome looked at her mother and remained silent for awhile but decided to keep things to herself not wanting to burden her with her problems. With Kagome not speaking for awhile her mother took it on herself to speak again. " Dear I don't know what has happened and I will not push you to tell me. I trust your judgement to make the right desitions in any matter. But when your ready I'll be here to listen." She hugged her daughter and when they broke their embrace Kagome laid down on her bed not saying a word. Her mother went back down stairs to the kitchen. Kagome grandfather looked at her and she simply shook her head no and returned to her tea. Neither said another word.
