Chapter Nine Rin's suffering
Rin forced herself up, crying in agony. Kohaku tried to put her back down but she slapped his arms away with her left hand, "No! You're liar! That's not true!" Kohaku protested to Rin's screams, "It's the truth." Rin panted hard as she glared at him. She stood up and Kohaku tried to put her back down, she punched his face. No! He can't leave me. He can't leave me again!" Rin though as she began to run out, she didn't care if her wound had started bleeding, she had to get back to Sesshomaru.
"Rin! Rin come back!" She heard Kohaku cry out to her, she could hear his footsteps coming from behind. Rin began to run faster, she made it to the woods and hid in a bush, she heard Kohaku's voice calling out for her passed by. After about five minutes Rin left her hiding spot and began to head west, only to be tackled down. "Let go of me! Let go!" Rin struggled to break free, but the hold was too strong and she was weak, she had barely awaken from a three day sleep.
Her current strength cant match Kohaku's. He managed to keep on top and grabbe both her wrists pinning her down. "Rin stop it! You cant go on in your condition, you're wound opened up again you're bleeding a lot of blood." Rin began crying, "Please let me go. Just please let me go. I have to be with him, I was with him for such a short time. I dont want to be alone again."
Kohaku grunted, "You have never been alone Rin! Stop it, he's not the center of the universe. Rin you have people here who love you dearly. My sister, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha, My nieces and nephew, Shippo, Myoga, and me. Do we mean nothing to you?" Rin tears overflowed she couldn't see a thing,"That's not what I mean Kohaku! I love Sesshomaru, all I want is to be with him, why can't you see that?" Then a stinging pain came back to her neck and she passed out.
Rin woke up hours later back in her hut, it was midday and Sango was preparing some food. "Oh, you're awake, you have us quite a scare Rin." Sango smiled and served some food for Rin, "Here let me help you up." Rin shook her head and did it herself. Kohaku probably already told her what had happened last night. She thought as she accepted the food Sango made for her and began to eat. Sango looked at Rin worriedly,"Rin, Kohaku told you about Sesshomaru didnt he?" Rin paused, it pained her but she nodded, Sango sighed, "I know it'll be hard but you have to accept Sesshomaru's request." Rin ate the last bite and slammed the plate down, "I will not accept his request."
Sango blinked, she has never seen Rin this angry before, "Rin why wont you accept it now? He's done this once before why is this any different." Rin looked down blushing, "Because Sango…..I…." Last night she was so brave to say it, why was she tounge tied now. Sango blinked, she understood what she was going to say. "You're in love with Sesshomaru. That's why Kohaku challenged him, that's why you're so upset about this." Rin blushed even more, "So what if I am, I just want to be with him, like old time sake." Sang noded understanding but told her, "Rin you know Sesshomaru is a full-fledge demon, he does care for you, but he may not love you they way you want him to." Rin shook her head, not caring about all that. Sango sighed, "Well then Rin you have you're work cut out for you if you want to head back to the west. First you'll have to get better." Rin blinked and looked up shocked, "Really Sango? You mean you're-" She nodded, "If I stopped you from being with the one you love, I would consider myself a hypocrite. My daughter is in love with Inuyasha and Kagome's son, Miroku doesn't like the idea of his daughter becoming little housewives yet, but I told her do not loose hope. Who knows? Maybe he likes her too, I mean they both grew up together." Sango smiled at Rin, she placed a hand on Rin and said "Here's what we're going to do."
