I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 26

"Well, it's official, there's an all-out man hunt for Rin!" her head snapped around at that voice and hearing her name. Brown eyes blinked at the entrance as a red kitsune walked into the mansion study with fiery green eyes and a swishing red tail. Rin looked up to Sesshomaru, who looked at her then shrugged before looking back at the kitsune. Shippo just looked agitated as he stalked through the house then, his fox feet leaving a trail of water from the rain he had just walked through.

"What do you mean man hunt!?" Inuyasha demanded as he straightened.

"I mean the Onigumos want their property back and they've hired the police to help with the dirty work of finding her!" Shippo said frantically. Rin's eyes flicked towards Sesshomaru as they sat there in silence while Shippo ranted, and raved, about everything and ripped his red hair out of head while shouting at them about this.

"Slow down Shippo, what happened?" Kagome asked then. The fox stopped his chest heaving, she got off of her seat at the breakfast table and walked over to Sesshomaru. He just took her hand and pulled her into his lap. Rin landed with a gasp then she was looking at Shippo again.

"Magatsuhi came in, not only to ask for leads in his brother's murder but to also ask for a task force to find Hakudoshi's killer; of which we have no leads, and I'm not giving them one, and now they're looking for Rin!" Shippo shouted in distress. Rin just looked to her Sesshomaru and he didn't say anything but his gold eyes darkened dangerously.

"Alright, so we move Rin," Inuyasha decided and Rin wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru as she looked around the grim table. Her Sesshomaru didn't argue with her as he let her hug him to her. Rin didn't want to be found, she didn't want to leave Sesshomaru and she never wanted to go back to the Onigumos. Rin would rather die than return to the Onigumos; and she was not being dramatic with that thought, she would rather be dead than theirs. And she had never belonged to the Onigumos, she belonged to Sesshomaru, always had, always would and it was never going to change. It had never changed. But at this moment Rin just fought back her panic and her fear as she hugged Sesshomaru tightly. His claw was tracing a meaningless pattern on her thigh while they talked about what they were going to do with her.

"No matter what we aren't giving Rin back," Kagome decided aloud.

"I agree but this is major problems for us, I think Kohaku is in their pocket and I think he's getting suspicious of me," Shippo said grimly.

"Then we all disappear together," Inuyasha stated.

"I agree, all together or not at all," Kagome replied.

"Rin," Sesshomaru murmured in her ear. She didn't remove her face from his neck though as she hugged him tightly, but she couldn't chime into this conversation. It wasn't something that even if she had a voice she could chime in on. Rin could never ask of them what they were proposing to do, she just couldn't and at this moment while she fought off the tears and hugged him.

Sesshomaru nodded to them as he lifted Rin up, though her hugging him helped matters and carried her out of the room. What Rin didn't know was that they had been planning to disappear all along, it was something that they had all sworn to once this had started. Once Sesshomaru had found Rin, by chance, it had started and they all knew there was no turning back. He walked into his room then place Rin clumsily on the bed, she grabbed his mokomoko then wrapped around it securely like she had when she had been a child.

"We always planned this Rin," Sesshomaru informed her.

Watery brown eyes looked up at him with millions of questions and he decided that for a moment he would indulge her by telling her everything.

"I saw you almost two years ago, it was after I had come home and it was a rare moment that I had been in the city. It was raining and you were shopping, everything stopped and then he came, and you looked scared. I followed you, followed you to the Onigumos, and I saw everything that happened as he beat you. I couldn't do anything about, the police were right there so I went to Shippo and poked around.

"What I found out sickened me, then I started planning to get out you out. It took nearly two years, mostly because I needed help and I didn't trust anyone at the time. I had lost Koga, and Shishinki in that fucking war, and I had no one but you. And I didn't have you. Oddly enough it was getting you back which made me reach out to Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and even Soten. It took a while to get to you, but I did and we got you back Rin. We all knew what we were doing, what we were going to possibly have to do. This isn't your fault, it was our choice," Sesshomaru informed her. Those eyes blinked as she looked into his fur.

"And we'd all do it again," he murmured.

She grabbed her white board and frantically wrote out her protests so he took the marker away from her as he sat beside her on the bed.

"We decided on this and we'll continue doing as we pleased, no one is doing anything that we don't want to do Rin." He said this firmly as he tilted her head back and looked at that wet face.

"It'll be alright Rin," he promised then he sat beside her. She just burst into sobs and he tried to think about what they would be doing next. It was difficult to think though when he was terrified of Rin being dragged back into the depths of hell by the Onigumos.

There'll be a few more updates today.

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
