Never Let Me Go
Chapter 8: I'm almost there
The week seemed to pass fast for Rin. She kept herself occupied with rehearsals and writing that she almost forgot about the anniversary if it wasn't her older brother sending her plane ticket with Sesshomaru. Rin stared at the ticket with sad eyes. Kagome, Sango, and Ayame had gone shopping with their brothers and Ayumi, leaving the room to her. She walked over to her suitcase and pulled out an old worn out album. She flipped through the pages and looking at each picture and memorizing their faces and remembering the memories. Finally she turned to the final page and stared at the photo. It was old and worn and the edges were yellow with age. It was the last picture that her family took together. Rin felt her eyes tear up. She wiped them away and tried remembering the day.
They had gone to the lake near their home. Rin remembered her dad teaching her how to hold the fishing pole and her older brother, Shinosuke, trying to scare her with bait. Her mom had been there playing with her younger brother, Shinichi, who was a year old then. She smiled remembering that day at the lake. So much had changed since then. After her mother's death, her father became a workaholic and was hardly ever home. Shinosuke her once fun-loving brother became distant and cold, often leaving and they wouldn't hear from him for days on end. That left Rin to take care of her Shinichi who was barely two. She remembered crying for her mother, when Shinichi didn't want to go to sleep and got sick. She never knew what to do. She remembered the last time Shinosuke and her talked. They had moved to Tokyo the year before and he had been angry over something. She didn't remember what. They had yelled at each other and had gotten in a fist fight. Their dad wasn't home and their little brother was inside the house. She remembered that they were in the backyard and fighting. He had hit her first and she had gotten mad and returned the hit and yelled something at him. It had gotten him even more angry and next thing she knew she was on the ground and he was punching her. He had started to choke her when Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both pulled Shinosuke off of her.
Her eyes tear up as she remembers what happened next. She was thirteen and he was sixteen.
"Shinosuke! Calm down!" yelled Sesshomaru holding him back.
"Stupid little bitch! It's all your fault! She still be here if it wasn't for you!" Screamed Shinosuke trying to pull away from Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was helping Rin up.
"It wasn't my fault! It was an accident!" she had yelled back. She remembered how his eyes had changed. They seemed to turn to a reddish black color. His eyes always seem to reflect his emotions.
"It is your fault! She died cuz of you! You killed her! You killed our mom!" after that he seemed to limp in Sesshomaru's arms. She had broken down sobbing and ran into the house and out the front door. She ran as fast as she could as far as she could. Before she knew she found herself in a forest near the outskirts of town. She walked over to a tree and sat there holding her knees and close to her. She didn't know how long she had been there when she heard her name being called.
"Rin." She looked up to see Sesshomaru standing over her. He held his hand out. She looked up at him wondering why he was there.
"Rin, they're looking for you." His eyes never wavered from hers. Finally she took his hand and allowed him to help her up.
She opened her mouth to say something when he said, "Shinosuke's sorry for what he did. He won't dare do it again." She looked at him with surprise.
"How did you know I was going to ask?" she asked. They started walking back to town. He kept his eyes on the path.
"It's only natural that you would ask." Rin kept silent after that. When they finally arrived back to her house, Rin's father ran out of the house to hug her. He had tears in his eyes and asked her if she was alright. She nodded slowly and asked, "How's Shinosuke?" her father looked at her with sad eyes.
"He's left. I don't know where he is."
"Rin-neechan?" She remembered seeing her little Shinichi walk over to her and ask if she was okay.
Rin sat on the bed of the hotel room crying as she remembered everything that had happened.
"I'm so sorry, mom. I'm sorry…" she fell on her pillow crying wishing she had never told her mother to go away.

Ina walked into down the hall with a sushi lunch muttering about how unfair her brothers were when she decided to pay the Sirens a visit. She reached their door when she remembered that they had gone shopping with Ayumi and the guys. She was about to turn and head to her room when she heard a small sound coming from the room. She pressed her ears to the door and heard sniffling. She turned the knob and noticed it was locked. She frowned and dug in her pocket. "Now where's the master key I borrowed?" she muttered to herself.
-x-x-x-
Rin heard the door open and quickly wiped the tears from her face.
"Rin?" She turned around and gave a gasp of surprise at the sight of Ina.
"Ina, what are you doing here?" she asked. Ina closed the door and walked over to her. She climbed on the bed and faced Rin.
"Why were you crying?" asked Ina. Rin smiled at her and wiped a tear from her eye.
"My mom's ten year anniversary is tomorrow." Ina nodded knowingly and then said, "That's not the only reason you're crying, is it Rin?" Rin chuckled.
"You're definitely Sesshomaru's little sister." Ina made a face at that comment.
"I'm insulted." Rin laughed.
"You shouldn't be. Sesshy's a good brother and you know it." Ina snorted and shook her head.
"So can you tell me why you were crying?" she asked again. Rin looked at the album still on her bed. Ina saw it and grabbed it. She flipped through the pages until she was on the last one. She pointed at the lady in the picture.
"Is that your mom?" she asked. Rin nodded."You look like her." Ina turned to look at Rin. "How did she die?" Rin looked down and replied, "She killed in a car accident driving home from the hospital. I was eight years old. She was visiting me, because I had been bitten by a poisonous demon earlier that week." She paused. "I had been arguing with her and I had yelled at her to leave and never come back. Next thing I know, Shinosuke comes running into my room telling me she had been killed on her way home." Rin shook her head. "I don't even remember what we had been arguing about." Ina looked at her sadly and let Rin continued.
"I miss her so much and I regret yelling at her. More than anything I wish that I hadn't told her to leave. I keep thinking that if I hadn't told her that then maybe she'd still be alive." Rin kept her head, down.
"It wouldn't have made a difference." Rin looked up at Ina. She looked sad.
"Wha-?"
"I know you feel bad about yelling at your mom. But even if you hadn't told her to go away, something would've have happened anyway." Ina looked out the window.
"At least you got to know your mom." Rin gasped remembering that Ina's mom died soon after she was born.
"I'm so sorry, Ina! I totally forgot about-" Ina waved it off.
"Don't. Your mom wouldn't want you to blame yourself. Neither would mine." Ina paused. "Things happen for a reason. That's what daddy use to say to me, when I blamed myself for my mom's death. He'd hold me and say even if I wasn't born, something was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. That's fate for you." She said shrugging.
Rin smiled. "Thanks Ina. I really needed that." She reached over and gave Ina a hug. Rin moved back and looked at her curiously. "Why aren't you with Ayumi and the rest?" Rin asked. Ina smiled sheepishly.
"I got grounded by Sesshy."
"What for exactly?" Ina coughed and opened the sushi bento.
"I went too far in making fun of Ba-Kagura."
She handed Rin a pair of chopsticks."What you say ,Ina?" she asked.
"Well… I told some reporters that she got lots of plastic surgery done and the only reason she rich was caused she sued her plastic surgeon for the bad boob job she has."
"She got a boob job?"
"I have no idea. I just felt like saying that." She replied shrugging. "I don't like her and I'm pretty sure the only reason she's with Sesshomaru is because Sesshy's mom told him to."
"Ina, you're so mean." Rin laughed.
"My dad said I act just like my mom when she was younger." Ina reached up to her locket and opened it. Inside was a picture of a beautiful woman with long black hair and soft brown eyes.
Rin smiled at the picture. "That's your mom, right?" Ina nodded.
"Her name is Izayoi." Rin giggled.
"Izayoi is your middle name right?" Rin said remembering Inuyasha yelling at Ina the week before about what she was wearing. Ina nodded.
"It suppose to mean Sakura blossom or something like that." Ina picked up a piece of sushi and popped it into her mouth.
"Rin? You like Sesshy right?" Rin choked on the piece of sushi in her mouth. Ina patted her on the back.
"Um… what makes you think that?" Rin asked picking up another piece of sushi.
"Cuz of the way you act around him. That and you didn't go to the Music Box with Ayame and Sango cuz Ba-Kagura."
"Then what would be the point of answering your question if you already know the answer?" she asked. Ina smiled.
Ina turned to the door and said, "They're back!" a couple of seconds later the door flew open and the Sirens walked in with Souta and Kohaku.
"Hey, Rin! Hey Ina!" squealed Sango dropping her bags on Ayame's bed.
Rin smiled at her friends. "Hey, how was shopping?" she asked.
"Great! Ya shoulda been there!" answered Ayame dropping her bags on her bed.
"What are you doing here, Ina?" asked Kohaku. She rolled her eyes. "I was visiting a friend, since you guys ditched me." she answered popping another sushi into her mouth.
"Ey, we didn't ditch you. You got your ass grounded." He replied grabbing her chopsticks.
"Hey, Kohaku!" Ina turned pink as Kohaku used her chopsticks to steal some of her sushi. Rin noticed and raised her eyebrow. Ina looked at her and snatched the chopsticks back from him.
"Thanks for the food." He replied as he dodged a hit from Ina. He walked out of the room with Souta.
"Ina?" asked Rin with a knowing smile.
Ina looked away blushing. "Please don't tell Inu or Sesshy." Rin nodded and got off her bed to go with her friends.
-x-x-x-
Rin got up early the next morning and grabbed everything she needed for her flight. She got dress quickly and quietly trying to make sure she didn't wake her friends. She quickly wrote a note for her friends explaining where she going. As much as she loved her friends, this was something she needed to do alone. She quietly walked out of the door and closed it behind her. She turned around and gasped.
"Sesshomaru?" he was leaning against DS door.
"You took a while." Rin could practically feel the blush on her face. He was wearing a white shirt with a black leather jacket and plain jeans. He had tied his hair back into a low pony tail.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Shinosuke asked me to keep an eye on you." He replied.
She frowned. "I don't need a baby-sitter." The elevator doors opened and she walked in. She pressed the button to close the doors. He stopped the closing doors with his hands and walked in. He pressed the button again and let the doors close.
"I told you Sesshomaru, I don't need a baby-sitter." She said again looking away from him putting the hood on her jacket over her head. She grabbed her sunglasses and put them on.
"I'm not your baby-sitter. I'm here to make sure you stay out of trouble."
"Sesshomaru, go back. I can take care of myself." She stepped out of the elevator and faced him. "Go back." Sesshomaru glanced at her and walked right passed her.
"I'm going with you. Not just because Shinosuke asked me to." Rin felt herself blush even more. She turned around and walked out of the lobby to hail a cab.
"Fine then." She replied smiling to herself. "Hokkaido here we come." 'Mom, I'm almost there.'
