Kagura paced around Inukimis living room, a scowl on her face. "You had her and you DIDNT kill her?"

"That doesnt mean I wont hesitate to kill you Kagura. I was just having fun with Rin. I only played along to see if i could scare her off. If Sesshomaru wants his human play thing, let him. Shes only got a couple of decades to live. Why cant you live with waiting?" Inukimi didnt look in her direction. Instead she sipped on her tea and looked out her window.

"Because Naraku wont give me that kind of time as long as he wants her, Hakudoshi wants her and Sesshomaru wants her!" Her rage was rising. That fact that Inukimi was sort of right. "But what if he mates her for real? How long will she have then?"

Inukimi finally glanced in her direction. "Then we couldnt touch her even if we wanted to. I will not kill my son in the process of killing her if she were to become his youkai wife."

Finally having enough and feeling defeated she stomped out of Inukimis home to head back to...Narakus mansion.

Sesshomaru walked down the halls, following His father and Rins scent. Rin was a couple of doors past his fathers study/office. He could hear the nurses chatting in the next room. Inuyashas annoying voice and Kagomes over the top yelling. Could they at least try to be professional?

He knocked on Rins door and waited for a response. Nothing. He knocked again before opening the door. Rin was staring at him as he walked in. He guessed she still wasnt talking to him.

"Yes Rin?" He crossed his arms before sitting in a chair closest to the door. What did his father mean by she may not say what he'd want to hear? She won't say anything!... Oh. "Stupid father..." He muttered to himself.

Rins eyes got more wide as she inched closer to him, pulling at the IVs in her arm. She winced in pain and tried to hold onto her sides but gasped out loud when it made the pain worse.

Sesshomaru saw her frail body struggle hold Rin up. He sat up from his chair and let her lean against his arm for support. "It's okay. Rin..."

She looked down at his hand. He could smell her tears forming. Sad tears like at the hospital when they first admitted her. The failed runaway bride. He wondered how she looked in her wedding dress and how many people knew it was a sham.

"I-I'm Sorry Doctor Taisho." Rin managed through a hoarse voice. "I shouldn't have run...Ah?" Her voice was slowly normalizing.

Sesshomarus expression softened by a hair. "With Izayoi keeping her company..."

"So she speaks!" Inutaisho came in booming. Ruining Sesshomarus moment with Rin. A smile on Inutaishos face reassured Sesshomaru that everything would be okay.

"Just a few bruised ribs. She'll have to stay on bed rest for a few weeks. So NO climbing out windows with Ah anymore. Got it?" Inutaisho laughed before grabbing Sesshomaru who was reluctant to leave Rins side.

They walked out into the hall and Sesshomaru glared at his father. "She just started to talk to me again father!"

"I know son, but I wanted to talk about her injuries...I think Kimi went...easy on Rin. Theres not other damage besides a few bruises. Why would she do that?" Inutaisho inquired. Sesshomaru stared at his father as the same questions started to Run through his brain as well. Why didn't his mother go in straight for the kill? That was unlike her.

His eyes narrowed when the answer hit him. "The Onigumos..."

Inukimi sipped her tea some more after Kagura left in an angry childs tantrum. Who knew some women could be so improper.

Her cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was her only son, Sesshomaru. "Youre welcome for not killing the girl." She answered. She was greeted with a snarl.

"Why did you spare her?"

"I refuse to be a pawn in your silly little love affairs, son. I dont hate your precious Wildflower Rin. It's your father. You know he presses my buttons. I needed to push back. I would have been happy, if you were the one to tell me and not your human loving father. I still swear he passed that trait onto you. But if youre happy Sesshomaru...Thats all a mother wants."

"Hn."

Sesshomaru hung up without another word. Relieved his mother was at least no longer a threat to Rin. He looked over to his father who heard every word Inukimi said. His face red with frustration. "It's not a character flaw Sesshomaru." He said through clenched teeth. Inutaisho chose then to storm out and find his wife to remind her that he loved her very dearly.

Sesshomaru sighed then put his phone into his pocket and walked back into the room Rin was in. She was laying on her back now with her eyes closed. She looked so peaceful at that moment. No doubt the drugs her father would have given her for the pain. Her chest slowly came up with her inhales and gently down with her exhales. She would have looked okay if he didnt know what had just happened to her.

"I'm back." He stated before pulling the chair closer to her. A smile came to her lips. "I know." She whispered.

"Im sorry."

"I know."

She opened her eyes to look at him. "We both messed up. Lets forget it happened okay? Sesshomaru nodded but didnt quite agree. They both messed up but she got hurt twice in the process. Physically and mentally.

As soon as things get good, the stress rises up to the occasion! I will try to start the next chapter but I'm feeling drained. Emotional rollarcoaster i know!-RinAmelia
