I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 23

Rin walked silently in the garden, there was a light rain today and she was enjoying it as she stood there in the silence. She smiled slightly as she heard a bird chirping over her shoulder and continued making her way through the garden. It was nice, being here in the silence and in the rain. She wanted to cry but she didn't as she found a comfortable damp spot and sat down quietly enjoying the peace.

The tears she wanted to cry were because she felt safe and happy and it was the biggest relief of her life. Honestly it was truly the biggest relief she had felt in a decade but it felt short lived because she had to leave before the Onigumos found her. She wouldn't let her Sesshomaru be hurt because of the Onigumos. She'd die before that happened and she'd live without him before Sesshomaru was harmed. She loved him too much to lose him again. Rin couldn't afford to lose him again. She just couldn't. there were a lot of things that Rin could do but she couldn't lose him and she couldn't live with the Onigumos again.

So here in the rain she thought about her choices, she couldn't ask Sesshomaru to run away with her; she just couldn't because he needed his home but she couldn't let the Onigumos hurt him again. Heaving a silent sigh she curled up under the tree and let the rain pour over her as she enjoyed her time in freedom. Never had she felt more loved or free than in this moment, she loved it. Rin looked up when she sensed another person coming towards her. The woman sat beside her but didn't speak, Rin took the blue eyed woman's hand and smiled slightly before staring back out at the garden.

"You know, you're unique. I don't know why you'd forgive me or Inuyasha after all we've done to you." Kagome said this softly.

Rin didn't say anything as she sat there for even if she could say something there would be nothing for her to say. She wasn't special or even different she was just Rin and that was fine with her as she sat there staring at the rain. It was as if the world were telling her to cry but she simply didn't have it in her anymore. There were no more tears within her to shed and she knew she should cry but couldn't, there was no way a tear could shed her pain. So she would let the rain be her tears, she would let the rain rid her of her pain, and she would surrender her pain to the rain. She could handle her pain, but she would let the rain be her tears for she had none to shed.

"I wish you could talk," Kagome murmured.

Rin shrugged, she didn't mind no longer having a voice, and she had grown used to it. Besides, actions spoke louder than words; her Sesshomaru had taught her that when she had been a child.

Sesshomaru sat up when a car rolled up into his driveway and stared dumbly at the car. Slowly he stood then looked at the garden before he walked towards the door. It was that car which had him snarling and then he watched the driver emerge from the car before he was growling and ready to attack. Inuyasha appeared beside him then and frowned.

"I'll keep Rin outside, I think you're going to have to deal with this," Inuyasha murmured as he hurried out of the house. Sesshomaru just thought about ripping the intruder to pieces as he walked out to the front living area where Jaken had led the driver and was squawking mercilessly at him to stay put while he'd go get Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru frowned as he walked down the stairs of his home and glared at the intruder.

"Sesshomaru," a cold, gruff voice greeted him. Sesshomaru didn't even bother to greet the man as he stood there before the man and the greatest pain in his ass since he had come home.

"You're really going to have to start coming into the city because I can't keep driving out here every time I want to discuss the company and documents with you!" the elder snarled at him, he just stared blankly back at his intruder. The silver man bared his teeth in frustration then; Sesshomaru let light spill from his fingers then and tensed for his father's next move. His father just stared at the whip he had ready to use. It was his full power that scared people which was about the only thing he wasn't afraid of. It was his raw abilities that had saved him though they hadn't saved Shishinki or Koga.

"I do not have to do anything for you," Sesshomaru said calmly. His father's eyes were nervous as he stared at the whip, Sesshomaru could see the sweat forming on his father's brow. "I do not even have to be involved with the company, I only am to amuse myself."

"You selfish, spoiled, ungrateful bastard!" his father roared; Sesshomaru didn't counter any of that because he was all of it; but mostly he was a bastard and after all the hells he had been through he was a fucking monster too. He let his lips be pulled back as he growled lowly.

"Leave, now," Sesshomaru snapped; he could feel his temper rising as he stood there tempted to lash out against InuTaisho. It was something he was itching to do but he didn't think that Rin would appreciate the sight of blood staining his entry and he didn't want to scare her any more than she already was.

"You are going to have to open up and talk to me at some point Sesshomaru, you're my heir and you're going to be head of the company and if you don't start talking to someone then I'm going to cut you off!" his father roared.

"Go ahead, I'm independently wealthy and do not need your life or money, now leave or I'll rip you to pieces." And with that his father stormed out, he glared at the toad before he turned to seek out Rin.

Sorry about the lack of updates here but I'm still wrapping a few things up, like Why Should I Worry and 36 Weeks & Counting; now I'm going to focus on wrapping up my Trying Not to Series and then I'll be able to give this the full attention that it needs. I'm just busy lately so I'm trying to catch up with everything. I'll tray to have another chapter of this up sometime this weekend.

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
