I do not own Inuyasha in any way form or fashion. wish I did, but sadly don't ):


*Sesshomaru P.O.V.*

A week has passed since Sesshomaru has brought Rin to live with them. She was healing up nicely. All of her bruises were now a yellow color. Almost gone. It's a wonder how she has been able to heal so quickly. Although I'm sure her body is used to it by now. Sesshomaru thought as he was recalling his conversation with Sango and Miroku from a couple days prior.

~*Flashback*~

"I can't believe someone else tried to hurt her, poor Rin." Miroku said as he was eating some ramen with Inuyasha.

"I know, Kami knows she has been through enough." Sango said as she tried not to make a disgusted face at the two who were stuffing their faces.

"What do you mean someone else? Who else has harmed her?" Sesshomaru asked surprising everyone. Inuyasha spit out ramen while Miroku started to turn purple from lack of oxygen since he was choking on his ramen. Sango then hit his back several times helping him swallow.

"Well you see, when I first saw Rin… she was… um… well…" Miroku stuttered afraid of angering Sesshomaru. That was one end he didn't want to be a part of.

Sesshomaru then gave Miroku a cold stare that sent chills down his spine.

Miroku figured it would be wise to just spit it out.

"Well when I saw her I had saved her from her step-dad. He was beating her and bad. Seeing her after you brought her and said she was attacked by some guys. To be honest all those bruises and cuts mass majority were from her step-dad. If anything maybe a bruise or two were from those guys."

When he heard this, Sesshomaru was filled with anger. He regretted not finishing him off when he had him in his hands. He was beginning to see red.

Everyone saw his eye changing color. After a while he calmed down.

I will see that he gets a visit from me tomorrow. Sesshomaru thought with only vengeance on his mind.

Almost as if Sango could read his mind she spoke, "well he hasn't been to work either since that incident the other day were you almost killed him. And no one answers at his house either. I think they left."

~*Flashback ends*~

Sesshomaru just couldn't believe this girl had endured and for how long, he did not know. He didn't want to ask for fear of what might happen. Would she start to cry? Then what would happen? I would probably comfort her again. That does not need to happen again. I acted on impulse. This Sesshomaru does not do that kind of thing.

He was pulled out of his thoughts by Inuyasha.

"Yo! Sesshomaru! Hello!? Are we going to practice today for Rin or what?" he then hit Sesshomaru upside the head which brought him out completely.

Sesshomaru then grabbed Inuyasha by the front of his shirt, "Never hit this Sesshomaru again." He growled and Inuyasha was a little fearful. He is never this aggressive. I wonder what he was thinking about.

" Feh whatever, so are we practicing or not? This is the first time in months we are all together and ready to go." Inuyasha was not going to let his big-brother know he was afraid of him for a second.

Sesshomaru dropped Inuyasha and started walking to the garage.

On the way he picked up his guitar. When he got there he saw everyone was ready to go. Sango had gotten the day off so she was ready with the drums. Miroku was ready on the bass; Inuyasha was walking in behind Sesshomaru and getting the microphone ready. When he saw them he started to remember how in high school every girl was after them because of their looks and ability to play.

He then saw that his parents were sitting at the other end of the garage in chairs with Kagome next to them. Rin didn't quite trust them yet, and she was sitting in a far corner on a desk that had been forgotten then. Kagome was trying to convince her sit next to them, but she didn't even look at her. She was just staring at Sesshomaru and him at her.

"Ahem… Sess you ready?" Inuyasha interrupted on the mic.

Sesshomaru plugged in his guitar and Inuyasha started to bounce with excitement. It had been a while and he was ready to relive the good old days were only his music mattered. And Kagome for that matter. He started to think about everything that happened between them. He started to remember a song he had written when he was first dating her. He wanted to play that first. He turned and told the guys what he wanted to sing. Everyone nodded and they started t play

Search for the answers I knew all along.

I lost my self we all fall down

Never the wiser of what I've become.

Alone I stand a broken man

All I have is one last chance

I won't turn my back on you

Take my hand

Drag me down

If you fall then I will too

And I can't save what's left of you

Sing something new

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark without you

There's nothing left to lose

The fighting never ends.

I can't face the dark without you

Swallow me under and pull me apart

I understand there's nothing left

Things so familiar and close to the heart.

No more no less

I won't forget

Come back down

Save your self

I can find my way to you

And I can't bear to face the truth

Sing something new

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark without you

There's nothing to left to lose

The fighting never ends

I can't face the dark without you

I'm wanting to forget

I'm trying to forget

Don't leave me here again

I am with you forever the end

Sing something new.

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark without you

There's nothing left to lose

The fighting never ends

I can't face the dark without you

Holding the hand that holds me down

I forgive you forget you the end

Holding the hand that hold me down

I forgive you forget you

The end

After they were done Kagome was in tears. She remembered when he sang that at school. They had been dating a couple weeks and they had gotten into a fight and she was giving him the cold-shoulder

*Rin P.O.V.*

I have to admit they are really really good! Rin thought as they guys were switching, Inuyasha got his own guitar and Sesshomaru was going up to the microphone. He was going to sing now.

I wonder how he sounds singing? This should be good.

As she was finishing that lost thought, they started to play again.

Define your meanin' of war

To me it's what we do when we're bored

I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop

And it makes me want it more

Because I'm hyped up, outta controlI

if it's a fight I'm ready to go

wouldn't put my money on the other guy

If you know what I know oughta know

It's been a long time comin'

And the tables' turned around

'Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin'

It's a little different now

'Cause one of us is goin'

one of us is goin' down

Define your meanin' of fun

Is it fuckin' druggin' or guns?

I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop

And so get ready for another one

Let's take a trip down memory lane

The words circulate in my brain

You can treat this like another all the same

But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain

It's been a long time coming

And the tables' turned around

'Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin'

It's a little different now

'Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

This hardly worth fightin' for

But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore

With my fist hits your face

And your face hits the floor

It'll be a long time comin'

But you got the message now'

Cause I was never goin'

Yeah, you're the one that's goin' down

One of us is going down

I'm not runnin'

It's a little different now'

Cause one of us is goin'

One of us is goin' down

One of us is goin' down, down, down

Rin had to admit Sesshomaru's songs were a lot more explicit. It made them more truthful and she felt it fit his personality perfectly.

"Sesshomaru, you know we hate that song. It's horrid. I hate the words you use why can't they be like Inuyasha's? Nice and clean and sweet?" Izioyai said with annoyance in her voice.

Rin could tell Sesshomaru didn't like that they bashed his song.

I would say to him I liked it, but I don't want to get in any kind of argument or even speak to anyone

She really liked the song, it made it feel like he was defending her in a way from her step-dad.

She trusted him and she didn't know why. But she felt it deep down inside something was telling her to trust him.

After that they sang 3 mores songs and decided to call it a night. Partly because Rin had fallen asleep on the desk leaning her head on the wall.

Sesshomaru had decided to carry her to her room. While on the way there, Rin was stirring a bit and she grabbed hold of his shirt. She leaned in closer and she inhaled deep getting his scent in her mind a bit. She loved how he smelled, very masculine but not so strong like those cologne that make you want to barf.

"I really liked the first song you sang Sess. It was great." It sounded a bit slurred since she wa still half asleep, but while her eyes were half-open she saw him smirk a bit. She like his smile and smirks. That made her stomach do flips and her head feel lighter.

She didn't know why she felt this way. Especially since she felt so safe in his arms, like nothing in this world could hurt her. She then fell asleep with a smile on her face. I real smile, the first in a long time.
