When I woke up I had a splitting headache and my body felt so sore and hurt all over. I could tell there was a light on on the side of me, a lamp maybe? And then I felt a sudden burn on my left cheek with a rag? What was going on? I groaned and I tried to turn my face to get the burning to stop.

"shh shh shh. It's ok child. Ye are fine now. Just relax."

"What?" I then fluttered my eyes open to see who had spoken to me. To my surprise it was an elderly woman with an eye patch on her face.

"Ye are lucky my grandson found ye. Ye might be dead by now"

"Who are you? How did I get here?"

Just then a young man walked in, he looked to be maybe 19 or 20. he had dark brown hair with a small ponytail on the nape of his neck, and violet eyes.

"This is my grandson, his name is Miroku and he is the one who saved ye from your… situation."

"Oh, well um… thank you."

He then sat on the bed next to me and grabbed hold of my hands in his

"I would do anything to help such a beauty as you."

I blushed at his comment. "um, how could I repay you?" I asked him when I noticed one hand was now on top of my thigh and rubbing a bit.

"Would you bear my children?"

I couldn't help what happened next. I slapped him and when I looked he had a giant red print on his face. I was suddenly over whelmed with guilt. I just slapped the man who saved me from my step-dad and death itself. But I couldn't help but feel a bit sad, is this really what my life will be, just people wanting sex from me. Is that all I am, a toy?"

"Don't mind him child, he does this to almost every girl he meets." Said the elderly woman giving Miroku a glare.

"Only to the most beautiful women I do. It's not my fault I had a cursed hand" he said while rubbing his cheek with a small smile.

"I looked at the elderly woman "I'm sorry. I'm intruding in your home and I don't even know your name." I said to her feeling guilty of taking up their time.

"My name is Kaede, and ye are not intruding child. If anything ye gave me something to do. I was once a nurse and I've retired 10 years ago. If anything, I miss what I used to do. Helping others."

I saw the kindness inside her eyes as she told me this. I felt maybe I could trust her, but her grandson on the other hand. And speaking of "um exactly what happened?"

"Well I sent my grandson to get me some groceries from the store. He had not left 15 minutes when he came with a bloody girl in his arms."

"Well I was walking since my car is in the shop when I heard some clattering down the street. And that's when I saw a man on top of you beating you. I jumped in and gave him a good punch in the head and it knocked him out. I then realized how bad you were and I wasn't sure how you felt about hospitals so I brought you here. What exactly was going on that that happened?"

"I uh, really don't want to talk about it, sorry. But what happened then to my step-dad?"

"Ah so he's your step-dad? Well I actually just left him there. He was just knocked out. If anything he should be awake by now."

'Great. I hope he doesn't try to come look for me.' I thought to myself worriedly.

"That's enough child, ye need our rest. We will speak more on the matter if ye wish in the morning. Goodnight miss…?"

"oh I'm sorry, it's Rin. And goodnight Kaede and Miroku"

They then closed the door behind them and I began to think about all that had happened.

'Am I finally free?'

*Sesshomaru P.O.V.*

When I made it home I looked at the bag I put in the passenger seat and wondered who would just leave their bag?

I grabbed it and through it over my shoulder and went inside. As soon as I walk in Jaken came running and through himself a my feet

"I'm so glad you're home milord. I was beginning to worry you were still angry at me."

I then used the bag to my advantage and I hit Jaken square in the head making him fly across the room. I then turned to walk up the stairs to my room when Inuyasha and his mate walked in.

"Sesshomaru! That wasn't very nice!" said a slightly annoyed Kagome. I then turned and gave her an icy glare

"All though I'm sure he deserved it hehe" he said scratching the back of her neck. I could smell a hint of fear, but not much. Good, be fearful woman.

I then walked up the stairs and into my room. My room consisted of a desk in the corner, a book case next to it, a dresser and a king sized bed. I never really felt the need to decorate what's the point. The sheets on my bed were red as well as the curtains. The carpet was white and not a single stain was on it.

I through the bag on my bed and decided to take a shower. It was a long day.

When I got out the shower I was in my room in only a towel wrapped around my waist. I went to my dresser and pulled out a pair of boxers. I slid them on and put on some basketball shorts I wear for the night.

When I was changed and I brushed out my hair I went to my bed and decided to see who this bag belonged to.

When I opened it at first all I saw was clothing, women's clothing at that. Hmmm they must have been traveling. I then the scent of the person hit me. 'No, it couldn't be. That's t o much of a coincidence. Wild flowers was the scent. 'Maybe it's my mind playing tricks, I better make sure' When I felt at the bottom I hit something, I took it out and it was a wallet. I opened it and I was astonished at the money in it. There was over $700 in it. I then saw the I.D.

When I saw the picture my heart dropped and my inner demon growled in approval. It was that girl from this morning. I couldn't help but notice in the picture she was smiling and yet it didn't reach her eyes. They seemed to be filled with sadness and despair. I wondered what it was that made her this way. And why did I have the urge to want to see her smile a genuine smile? Either way, it meant one thing. I would have to see her again in order to give her the bag back.

I then looked back at the I.D. and saw that her name is Rin. 'That's a nice name' I couldn't help but think.

And then it hit me, why would she have a bag full of clothing and money if she obviously lived close by? Why was she running? What did that man want that was chasing her?

'It is none of my concern. I will go to her job sometime this week and give it back to her' at that thought my inner demon was growing with pleasure, eager to see her again.

Alrighty you guys! please keep the reviews coming I absolutely love them (: until next time, peace out!
