In case it wasn't picked up on, Sesshomaru and his mom are similar in the way that they push blame on other people. Sesshomaru was angry and frustrated at himself which he was transferring to Rin; something he kind of acknowledged. His mom did the same with him, which she explains. They subconsciously refuse to blame themselves and transfer their frustrations and anger on someone they love.
After calling the police Lolita and James were told that they had to wait until Rin was missing for 48 hours before they would step in. Since she was a teenager and was told news that made her unhappy she was considered a runaway; but since she'd probably come back they couldn't use up their forces for that until the minimum time required for missing persons had passed. Sesshomaru was not happy about that. So the two households decided to split and start their search for Rin.
Has the time ticked by Sesshomaru grew increasingly concerned. Hating himself for how he treated her; she didn't deserve that and he should have never said those things. No one bothered to make him feel any better. He deserved that.
Has darkness started approaching, everyone gathered at the Garton household. Everyone but Tenshin who said he had one more idea to try out but wouldn't tell anyone what it was. "Is there anywhere else she could be?" The question was directed towards Sesshomaru. "I've looked everywhere that I could think of." Sesshomaru refused to look at anyone. He felt ashamed. The room grew quite.
The sound of a phone ringing startled everyone. Lolita jumps up from her seat and runs to the kitchen to answer the phone. Everyone is holding their breath, afraid of what information she could be receiving. After a few minutes Lolita comes rushing back into the room.
"We need to go to the hospital!" Alarmed Sesshomaru is the only one who thinks to ask. "What happened?"
Pain. That's the feeling Rin wakes up to. Slowly opening her eyes she's grateful of the darkness of the room. Room? Confused Rin takes in her surroundings. She's in a small bed, plain bed sheets, a widow to her left with the blinds closed, white walls, a TV across from her, various machines. A hospital? How did I get here? Trying to recall her last memory all she can come up with is pain, not physical though. Deciding to not dwell on her feelings she just stares into the nothingness.
There's a knock on the door and a nurse steps in "Oh you're awake. I'm Dona. How do you feel?" Rin just stares at her. Closing the door Dona crosses the room and checks Rin's vitals. "We thought we lost you there for a moment. Do you remember what happened?" Rin shakes her head. "Well you're lucky someone found you. You've been asleep for about 58 hours now. You lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion." Dona stares at Rin, sadness in her eyes. Rin turns away. "A doctor will be in shortly to speak with you. If you need anything just press that button there and someone will be in to help you." After making sure that Rin is comfortable Dona opens the blinds slightly, "Don't want it all gloomy in here do we." Without waiting for a response she leaves.
When Rin is sure that the nurse is gone she lets her tears fall. Why would someone save me? Can't they tell I want to die? She's suddenly angry at her savior, her thoughts, her life! After about an hour the door opens again. A tall man with dark brown hair and glasses walks in. He takes a seat next to Rin and turns the chair to face her. "Hello Rin, I'm Doctor Hakaca. Would you like to sit up?" Without really waiting for a response he reaches over and pushes buttons on the side of the bed that make the upper portion rise so that she is sitting up instead of lying down. "Now what caused you to try and kill yourself?" Rin couldn't believe that he was being so direct. She decided to look towards the window to try and organize her thoughts. "Why was I saved?" Doctor Hakaca chuckles. "Answering a question with a question? Do you really wonder? Well a gentleman found you lying in an ally in a pool of blood and called an ambulance, naturally it's our job to try and save lives."
"But I didn't want to be saved."
"And that's why I'm here, to find out your reasoning behind wanting to end your life. You're stuck with me until I feel that you're not a hazard to yourself. So you should try opening up now if you want this to go as quickly as possible." Sighing Rin turns towards him. "No one wants me."
"Really? What makes you say that?"
"I'm alone. I have no parents, no family. I'm being sent away." Rin pauses and looks towards her lap, "Sesshomaru doesn't love me."
"Being an orphan is understandably a hard thing. And this Sesshomaru I assume is your boyfriend?"
"Not really."
"Someone you desire to have an intimate relationship with?" Rin stays silent. After a few minutes and Doctor Hakaca writing thins down on a clip board he turns his focus back towards Rin. "We seem to have the basics for your depression then. For now you are to stay in this room, once you are strong enough you are welcome to move from here to the rec room down the hall. You are staying in what we call the mental health wing of the hospital. You are on watch. You can't leave until I give the say so; once I'm sure that we've worked through this."
"What happens to me after that?"
"I'm afraid that's for you to discuss with your social worker. She's been notified of your situation and should be coming to visit you." Rin turns to face the doctor. "Have I had any visitors?" Doctor Hakaca looks down at his clip board. "You were identified by a Tenshin Natsumara. You've been on a no visit list while you've been unconscious so you haven't had any visitors. Due to your condition your social worker has to approve any visitors who want to see you. Something you might want to discuss with her when she gets here." Doctor Hakaca rises to his feet. "I have to get going. I will be back here tomorrow so I can discuss with you a plan of action." He turns and heads out the door. How rude!
Early the next morning, after finishing a light breakfast, there's a swift knock on the door. Before Rin can answer the door is opening and in steps Ms. Bryant. "Hello Rin."
"Hello." Ms. Bryant makes her way over to the side of Rin's bed. She takes in her surroundings before focusing on Rin. "That was quite a stunt you pulled."
"I'm sorry?" Ms. Bryant sighs. "Once you are healed we are moving you to a specialized group home where you will get the supervision you require. This is not up for discussion." Rins eyes start to water but she refuses to actually cry. She turns her head away from Ms. Bryant and looks towards the window. Ms. Bryant places her hand on her shoulder. "I can't imagine what it is you are going through Rin but I just want what's best for you."
"What's best?" Rin whispers. "Yes. I know you must hate me, most kids do, and it's hard for me because I know that I'm making you so unhappy but I have to do what I have to do Rin. I know you don't understand but I'm not trying to make you unhappy." Rin just nods.
"Despite what I feel, I've decided to allow the Gartons and the Natsumaras to visit you." Rin turns to Ms. Bryant with a smile on her face. "I'm hoping that visiting with them will help you to get better."
"Thank you."
"Your doctor is going to keep me informed on your progress, I will be back when I can." With a small wave Rin says good bye to Ms. Bryant. Soon there is another knock at the door. "Come in." The door opens to reveal the person Rin wanted to see the most, but also dreaded to see. "Sesshomaru."
