Chapter 4

Sesshomaru watched the girl go back down the well. He knew she had seen him too. He didn't know what to do.

He could smell her from miles away. He was walking aimlessly around when he caught a whiff of her. He couldn't believe his nose. He ran toward her and saw the youkai chase after her but Inuyasha had already jumped in. He followed her and watched, but didn't interfere.

Sesshomaru hadn't caught her scent since Rin and Jaken died in the battle of Naraku. Rin was only 17. After living with Kaede for a few years he allowed Rin to start traveling with him again. He greatly missed her presence and was surprised at how much she had grown. She had matured and Sesshomaru quite liked the change. Very slowly Sesshomaru's feelings for Rin grew and blossomed into love. The emotion was so powerful. It led him to do things he never would have imagined.

The feelings, of course, were reciprocated by Rin. She had always loved her lord but as she became older her feelings changed into something more. She loved him more passionately than before. Her dying thoughts were of Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was devastated when he found Rin's body. He stood over her for hour's with the Tenseiga waiting for him to see. The Tenseiga wouldn't work, just like his mother had said.

Letting his rage get the best of him he transformed into his inu form. He alone destroyed countless villages. It wasn't until Inuyasha had calmed him down that he transformed back. Inuyasha tried to console him but Sesshomaru would not have any of it. He merely walked away and buried Rin where she had first met and cared for him.

Since then his life has reverted back to the way it was before he met Rin. Some would say it was even worse this time around. Sesshomaru walked silently, day in, day out. He didn't talk to anyone unless they were about to meet their death. People told stories of the death youkai with no mercy. The Tensiga has even started to reject him.

"Sesshomaru?" He looked up to see Inuyasha and Kagome watching him.

Not wanting to deal with them he turned around and walked away. He could smell the stink of Inuyasha's blood in Kagome.

Back on the other side of the well Rin just touched down. She had been gone for a few hours and wondered how she would explain this. She climbed up the well struggling with out the vines. As she got closer to the top she heard sobbing.

"Kaoru stop crying, she's just lost is all. She'll find her way back." Cho said rubbing Kaoru's shoulders. She looked just as worried.

"No," Hiccup "She's dead!" Hiccup "She can't be looking for us" Hiccup "because the well swallowed" Hiccup "her up and took" Hiccup "her to the youkai" Hiccup "and they ate her" Hiccup. Kaoru's face was streaked black from her make up running and her eyes were red and puffy.

"Rin!" Kishiko Ran to her side and helped pull her over. The other girls ran over and all three of them engulfed her in a hug. "Where the hell were you?"

Rin stumbled on her words. Should she tell them what happened or should she lie? And if she lied what could she come up with that was believable?

"I don't know….I must have blacked out." Rin decided to lie. If she told the truth she knew no one would believe her. Although given the events of the past she was sure it was nothing compared to youkai coming from the well and attacking the city.

"We have to tell someone!" Kishiko exclaimed.

"NO! If someone found out we would be in big trouble and who knows what they'll do. We can't say a word." She scanned the girls' faces and saw understanding.

"We have to promise." Cho said sticking out her hand. The girls nodded their heads and they all grasped onto Cho's hand.

"I promise." The girls all chanted. Rin sighed in relief. She was able to lie to them. That was first time she did anything like that to them. Usually her friends were in on whatever lies she told.

"We should get back before anybody notices us missing." Kishiko said.

Kaoru looked panicked and started fumbling with her purse. "Oh my god" She said as she looked in the tiny mirror she pulled out. "I look horrible!"

"Eh, no more than usual." Cho said shrugging. Rin rolled her eyes and Kishiko chuckled. Kaoru glared at Cho and went about fixing her face.

About fifteen minutes later Kaoru had managed to fix her face. They left and were able sneak back to the group. Nobody seemed to notice their absence but a few people who were easily subdued. The trip was coming to a close and the class began to load onto the busses. The shrine was only a few blocks from where Rin lived and she was grateful for the proximity.

As they drove away Rin looked out the window and wondered when she would be able to go back. That figure standing in the woods would not leave her mind.

Who were they and why did she feel this draw towards them? She needed to know.

Youkai-demon

Inuyoukai- dog demon

Onna- woman

A/N

Yay! Another chapter done! I always seem to write better at night. It flows easier. I wanted to say writing from Sesshomaru's POV was a lot more difficult than I though it would be. Hopefully it will become easier with time.

Thank you guys for your reviews and follows/favorites. It's like adding fuel to my writing fire!

Guiltily I have not finished watching The Final Act and it's been a while since I have watched Inuyasha so if I get anything wrong please let me know. I will make changes accordingly.

I also want to apologize if this story seems to drag on or doesn't have a real plot line because I am just writing as I go. I don't like to make timelines for when I write. I am trying my best.

I'm also a little loopy from lack of sleep so I'm sure there are numerous errors in this chapter. If I make any changes I'll add it in my author's note in another chapter.
