New World, New People

Oh No...

Caitlin cried into Sesshomaru's chest, he didn't mind, but for some reason he didn't want to see Caitlin cry, it made something inside of him ache. He wrapped his arms around her, she felt small and fragile, at the moment he knew she was.

Her friend was angry at her. She'd never see any one she loved again, things that she wanted to do she couldn't do. Places she wanted to see, she couldn't see. All that plus she knew that she was going to die before she was older than 18. Young for people even in this time.

"I don't want to die..." Caitlin whispered over and over again. Sesshomaru had no idea how to comfort her, other than letter her cry. Soon Caitlin wasn't shaking, and she wasn't crying, she was sleeping.

She's cried herself to sleep. Sesshomaru thought, he lifted her up and carried her back to his room. He laid her down on the bed and as he was about to walk away Caitlin's hand gently yanked on his sleeve.

"Thanks." Caitlin said, she let go and then rolled over so she could get to sleep. Sesshomaru left the room and Rin was standing there.

"Lord Sesshomaru, don't you think that you should tell her?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru looked at her with a questioning look.

"Tell her what? Sesshomaru asked.

"That you love her. I can tell that you do." Rin answered. Sesshomaru looked at Rin with a blank expression. Rin sighed and put her hands on her hip. "You know you do. I know you do, and probably even Master Jaken knows you do! Just admit it to her! She's the only one who DOESN'T know!" Rin ordered. Sesshomaru had no idea that Rin could get like this, then again there was a lot about Rin that he didn't know, he didn't even attempted to get to know her.

"I don't love her." Sesshomaru said flatly, he walked past Rin and Rin sighed.

"Yes you do! You know it! Lord Sesshomaru! Get your butt back here and tell her!" Rin yelled after him.

"Rin! What're you doing yelling after Lord Sesshomaru!?" Jaken asked.

"He loves someone but he's not admitting it! I'm going to get him to admit it!" Rin said as she stalked off after him. Rin was running down the hall, she knew right where he was going. Sure enough, he was turning to corner when Rin got to the end of the hall he was turning down. "Tell. Her." Rin ordered.

"If I told her I'd be lying." Sesshomaru said, Rin slapped her hand to her forehead.

"Nuh-uh! Tell her darn it! If you don't tell her I'll tell her for you!" Rin said, then she turned around but Sesshomaru grabbed her. Then she was being lifted off the ground.

"You're not going to do that. You're not to leave your room." Sesshomaru added, he walked to Rin's room and pushed her in. After that he locked the door.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked, Sesshomaru looked down at him.

"She's not to come out of this room at all until I say other wise, understand?" Sesshomaru asked. Jaken nodded, then Sesshomaru walked off back the way he had come.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin yelled as she banged on the door. "TELL HER!!!" Rin screeched.

"Quiet Rin!" Jaken ordered.

"Master Jaken! Let me out! Please!" Rin begged.

"No, Lord Sesshoumaru said not to let you out and I have no intention of doing so." Jaken answered, then he walked away so that he wouldn't be tempted to open the door.

"Darn it! Someone let me out!" Rin yelled.

"Rin?" Kagome asked as she walked by.

"Kagome! Unlock the door!" Rin said as she hit the door some more.

"There's no key. I can't. Why are you locked in anyways?" Kagome asked.

"I was trying to make Lord Sesshomaru admit something that he didn't want to admit and he got mad and locked me in here, now I can't get out, Lord Sesshomaru has the key." Rin explained.

"Don't tell me you were trying to get Sesshomaru to admit that he loves Caitlin!"

"Yes! Make him admit it!" Rin ordered.

"No way! He'll kill me! The only one who could probably do it is Kouga, Erin, or InuYasha." Kagome said.

"WELL GET SOMEONE TO!" Rin screamed loudly, Kagome jumped back, Rin sure had a set of lungs.

"Okay! I'll try!" Kagome said. She walked off down the hall. "How am I going to get someone to do it?" Kagome asked. Then she bumped into InuYasha. Besides InuYasha, something hit her. "Hey InuYasha, how'd you like to annoy Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.

"Do you have to ask?" InuYasha asked.

"Okay, well find him and go 'tell her'! Make sure to make a big deal about it. It'll really annoy him." Kagome said. InuYasha nodded then ran off to find Sesshomaru. "Okay, now that I've done that, I think I'll go see how Caitlin is doing." Kagome said. She walked around, looking for Caitlin, she saw her walking around in a daze. "Caitlin, snap out of it." Kagome said as she snapped her fingers in front of Caitlin's face, it didn't do anything to her.

"Kagome, what're you doing?" Sango asked.

"She's in a daze and wont come out of it." Kagome answered. "Hey Kirara, can you growl in your bigger form?" Kagome asked, Kiara nodded, then transformed. She growled at Caitlin's back, Caitlin turned around and looked at them. She wasn't really looking at them, she was looking past them into something.

"CAITLIN!" Kagome and Sango yelled in her ears. Caitlin still didn't look at them.

"I wonder what's wrong." Kagome said as she waved her hand in front of Caitlin's eyes.

"It looks like she's in some sort of trance." Sango said, she covered Caitlins's eyes and then Caitlin snapped out of it.

"Huh?" Caitlin asked as she looked around. "How'd I get here?"

"We'd like to know the same thing." Sango said. "Why don't you tell us what the last thing you saw was?"

"I had just closed my eyes to get some sleep, and the next thing I knew was I had just woken up here." Caitlin answered. "Between when I closed my eyes and just now I don't know anything."

"It seems like you were sleep walking." Kagome said.

"If she had been sleep walking when you were snapping your fingers she would have woken, but that's not the case, so it was something more than that, but what I don't know." Sango explained.

"This just gets better and better doesn't it?" Caitlin asked sarcasticly. She looked around. "Do you smell that?" Caitlin asked.

"Smell what?"

"There's a foul scent on the air." Caitlin muttered, she looked back and forth, then following her nose she went left. "What is this? It smells familar." Caitlin muttered.

"Well it should." a voice said, Caitlins' eyes widened.
