I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 44

He snarled as he slashed his light whip through the surrounding lights, everything started flickering then as he stood guard over the tunnel with his light whip spilling across the dusty platform. The coming forms had his eyes narrowing and one of the coming scents had his eyes bleeding red as he zeroed in on it. His jaw cracked as his inner beast demanded he avenge his fallen pack mates, but his inner beast also demanded he protect his mate. So he decided to act rationally, he'd kill both these fools before he'd chase after Rin. However their deaths would be slow and painful, with this in mind iced honey eyes glared at the coming figures.

"Ah, father, this was the inu daiyōkai I spoke of; Sesshomaru-sama!" he snarled at the voice which had always haunted his nightmares and every waking moment.

"So it was this Sesshomaru who killed my youngest son; my pride and joy?" his eyes narrowed on a slimy figure. "You killed Hakudoshi?"

"Yes, I killed Hakudoshi and I'll kill you two as well," Sesshomaru snapped.

"You're the one who's been helping Rin?" the slimy one sounded disbelieving and Sesshomaru snarled in annoyance as he then lunged for them, his light whip slashed through them as he landed around them. The annoying spider materialized again, as di Byakuya. Snarling again he cracked his claws, no matter what they were not getting past him. They would not chase after Rin, and when he was finished here he didn't care if he were alive or dead, just so long as they were dead he didn't care. The spider frowned, and Sesshomaru felt his inner beast again demanding to take himself over; and a smile played on his lips. Why not give them the monster he was? They were going to die here anyway, and with that in mind he enveloped himself in light as he evaded their attacks then he slammed into the ground; shaking this tunnel as he looked down at them.

Poison dripped from his jaws.

Let their screams and pleas for mercy be the music his ears listen to, and with this in mind he gnashed his lethal jaws before lunging for them again with a horrible growl which shook the earth from the ceiling of the tunnel they were in. Naraku screamed, Byakuya never had a chance, and Sesshomaru came for the kill and the full wrath of his loss.

Rin struggled against Inuyasha; she had to get to Sesshomaru! She didn't care about her fate or what would happen to her but if Sesshomaru died then there was nothing for her in this world! She couldn't live with nothing again and she needed to be with him right now!

"Stop it Rin! Stop, Sesshomaru will be fine, just stop struggling!" Inuyasha demanded harshly and she burst into tears then. She couldn't live without Sesshomaru! She couldn't do it, not again! The tears would not stop as she clung to Inuyasha sobbing. It couldn't be helped; she had lived a decade in hell without Sesshomaru and she didn't think there would ever be a way for her to survive without him again. Not after having had him in her life again, she couldn't do it. There was simply no way she could ever live her life without Sesshomaru in it again, she needed him like some needed air or water.

Sesshomaru was her entire world and then some, there were no adequate words to describe how much he meant to her. As a child he had been her guardian and best friend, as a preteen he had been her best friend and her only friend at time, when he had left her behind she had felt lost without him. Cast adrift to be alone, no one tried to reach out to her, no one had ever tried to befriend her and no one had cared about what happened to her after he left. Then there had been her step-father who had sold her to the horrors of the Onigumos to pay of his debt which hadn't even saved his life.

She had gone through a hell which she would never wish upon even her worst of enemies; and Kami knew how much she had come to hate the Onigumos. Still, she could never wish what they had done to her upon them. The happiest day of her life was the day Sesshomaru killed Hakudoshi; she would never be able to describe how relieved she was when it was announced Hakudoshi had been murdered. And the funeral, the rain, the plans she had to escape after having studied her keepers, and then Sesshomaru had come back into her life. He had plucked her out of hell and set her right beside him where she had always been loved and cared for.

He had brought her back to being her, and she was something with him. She was nothing without him, she could deal with losing him. It just wasn't in her as she clung to Inuyasha and sobbed out mercilessly until there was no more air in her and until the tears in her were no more.

She just wanted Sesshomaru.

And he wasn't here holding her right now making everything in her miserable life better. That was what he was supposed to be doing but he was somewhere behind them fighting off the Onigumos, she could deal with this as she curled up against Inuyasha and prayed for Sesshomaru to return to her. She couldn't live without him; and she didn't care about how clingy that sounded.

A decade in hell had taught her she really did belong with Sesshomaru, and she needed him.

Inuyasha leapt up onto the street; the first thing Rin felt was the rain slapping her face in little bullet like drops which stung the skin as the icy wind ripped through her. She curled up against Inuyasha when a feminine hand touched her and she looked into the blue eyes of Kagome.

"He'll be alright Rin," Kagome whispered.

Kami did she hope that was true.
