Disclaimer: (Haven't used one of these in a while, anyways) I do not own Inuyasha nor the series.

*SPOILER ALERT* This story will contain graphic sexual scenes and situations, I would not recommend it for children, however…if you've got to this far in the story…you should have honestly seen it coming.

SAVING ME

CHAPTER 13 – FATAL

It was a scream which pierced the foggy haze of near intoxication, awaking Sesshomaru from slumber. It was strange, that his body immediately knew it belonged to Rin and vaulted into action, jumping out of bed and running to her room…for a woman he had not known a week properly. He slammed into the door, throwing it open yet the conscious thought to turn on the light never entered his mind. He ran to the dark figure on the bed, trying to feel her face, to ensure that she was safe.

She screamed and flailed against him, "Get away from me!"

He tried to calm her down, noticing that she was hysterically as though incredibly afraid.

"Rin, calm down, it's me Sesshomar-" he did get to finish as he felt a burning slide followed by intense pain in his shoulder. He released her and dropped to the ground in a sitting position, hearing her gasp as though reality had penetrated her sanity at least.

"Sesshomaru?" she gasped and switched on the light, as he fell back against the floor, weakened in a way he had never experience. He saw her lift her hands to her mouth, eyes widening as she looked at his shoulder and mustering his strength, he turned to see the dark handle of a blade protruding from his shoulder. He turned wide eyes towards Rin in disbelief.

She fell to her knees, fear and anguish apparent on her face. "I-I'm s-so…" it seemed as though she was going into shock. Sesshomaru groaned, biting back the pain, he knew he had to instruct her on what to do or she would probably leave him to bleed out in her shock. He reached up, grasping the hilt of the knife and pulling it from his body in a pained growl, arching from the ground in pain. Gasping, he turned to her as he used his good hand to cover the wound.

"Get a towel to stop the blood and call the ambulance. Now!" He instructed, and was relieved with the urgency with which she moved to perform the tasks. He heard her voice as she directed the ambulance to the hotel and room while she pressed the towel against his shoulder, along with his own hand.

"Please don't die…" he heard her whisper but the welcoming, painless darkness was such a sweet temptation away from the agony of living.

Pulse racing, Rin heard the sound of sirens as they neared. "I'm so sorry…forgive me!" she whispered and rose, and moving beneath the bed she grabbed the pillow case with what she had stored and ran from the apartment, praying that the paramedics would save him in time. Tears ran down her cheeks, it had probably all been just a misunderstanding she figured…but she had been so scared and he had just attacked her in the dark, much like an intruder. Rin sobbed, escaping down the Emergency exit as the Paramedics left the Elevator and ran to Sesshomaru's room.
