I had a death in the family and thought taking time off would help me but i think typing and concentrating on this and caffeine cold is helping more than taking a break from them would have -RinAmelia

Sesshomaru walked right past his porch to his car. He clicked the key fob that unlocks it and got right in. After starting the car he sat in silence before banging his fist on the dashboard.

A soft chuckle escaped his lips. He needed a drink. What would Rin think of that? He pulled into reverse and headed for the closest bar in town he could think of. They were going to love him, what with his high alcohol tolerance for being a demon.

To his dismay he saw Kagura waiting for him at the bar. She stared at the door and her eyes brightened at the sight of him walking in. "Miss me?" She asked with humor in her voice. "I saw everything Sesshomaru. Sure saved me a trip to tearing you two apart." She laughed as she took a sip from her drink.

"Kagura, youre drunk..." Sesshomaru was about to turn to leave when Kagura blurted out. "At least I can hold my liquor... You forget I know her better than you Sesshomaru. I've seen everything. Has she told you EEVVERRYYYTHING Hakudoshis done to her?"

With his fists clenched he bit his tongue and walked out the door back to his car.

Guess he wouldnt be drinking tonight after all

Rin sighed to herself and pulled her knees to her chest. She didnt know where her voice was but Izayoi trying to comfort her didnt help any more.

After 15 minutes Izayoi gave up but smiled at Rin. "Its okay... I'll be back in a little bit to check on you and bring you dinner?" Rin nodded and looked down at her feet.

What was she still doing here? She looked down to Ah who was staring up at her curiously.

"Were going home." She thought to him. Ah wagged his tail, not knowing which 'home' she meant.

Rin grabbed her bag from beside the bed and climbed the headboard to the window in her room. She jiggled the window open as quietly as she could before jumping back down to help Ah out of the window with all of her strength. He struggled at first but heard him thud on the ground and yelp. Quickly, thinking they had been heard by the demon men, she climbed out of the window and landed on her knees right in front of Ah. She lifted her chin to the left indicating where they should start heading. Rin broke out into a sprint and Ah happily followed her.

Rin started panting but kept running in the direction she thought the community gate was. Once it was in her sight she slowed and stopped her dog. She reached into her bag and pulled out Ahs collar and leash. She slipped it on him and started walking slowly. "Calm" She thought towards Ah. The dog kept looking forward and walking toward the lighted security guards post.

Rin smiled and waved at the guard as she passed. The guard waved back then went back to watching his computer monitor.

She sighs in relief and walks in the opposite direction she thinks they would assume she would run in. She would have to ditch her apartment and find an atm as soon as possible. The less she could be tracked the better.

Sesshomaru was driving home when he decided he would go to his fathers mansion to ask how Rin was doing. He had left her alone with his family long enough.

He got out and smelled Rins scent in the air. He looked around to see if she was outside but then shook it off as his mind playing tricks on him.

He opened the door expecting to be greeted by his father but instead he saw Izayoi standing in the living room crying in his fathers arms and his brother Inuyasha watching her from the couch with his ears down.

"How could this happen?!" She wailed. Sesshomarus heart dropped. What happened? He rushed to their side.

His breathing hard. Izayoi looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She wanted to slap him and blame him for Rin running away but instead she went from Inutaishos arms to hold onto his waist, not expecting Sesshomaru to hug back.

Involuntarily he reached his hands up and gently hugged her back. " What happened father?" He looked over Izayoi to his father who was looking at his wife somberly.

"Rin ran away and my love, she blames herself." Inutaisho ran his fingers through her long black hair. Her crying got harder. "I'm sorry. I only looked away for a minute!"

Sesshomarus arms dropped. He scared her that much that she wanted to leave? Where would she go?

"I need to find her." Sesshomaru said the them as he pulled away from His fathers wife.

"Maybe she doesnt want to be found Sesshomaru." Inuyasha interrupted. "Maybe I didnt want a brother, but I got one anyway." Sesshomaru answered back.

"She needs to tell me herself she wants to leave. Then I'll drop it." He slammed the door behind him once he stepped out. So he wasnt crazy. He did smell Rin in the air.

Hakudoshi...

He took off after her scent.
