t should have been 9 in the morning when he woke up but it was 6:45. Something was stabbing him in his stomach. A pain almost as worse as the hangover he could feel. Why did he feel like this? "Rin?" Was all he could manage out. Getting out of the bed he stumbled into the hallway. "RIN?!" Sesshomaru sniffed the air for his mate. Nothing. "RIN?!" Hurriedly he ran down the stairs to where he last remembered seeing Rin. Nothing. Nowhere.

He reached into his pocket and looked at his cell phone. No messages from Rin. What was going on? The house was silent and felt really lonely. "Rin..." He whispered to himself.

Instantly he called her phone only to realize she had shut it off.

How odd? Why would Rin do that? He turned to go back up the stairs to go to his office where he could check their bank account.

Nothing since a withdrawl exactly at 6. It was the closest bank to their house. She could be anywhere. With his pups. Where could she be? He knew Rin wasnt happy with his drinking but he never thought she would be one to run away.

He called the second number in his phone. His brother...

"Inuyasha...Rins gone."


It wasnt long before Inuyasha knoked on Sesshomarus door. "What did you do?" His arms were crossed while he walked past his brother to sit on their couch. A yawn escaped Inuyashas mouth. It was too early in the morning for him to be awake and dealing with other peoples issues.

"She packed up the kids and left..." Sesshomaru sat down on the couch too. Disbelief in his eyes that Rin actually left.

"It would have happened eventually with all that damned drinking Sesshomaru! " Inuyasha nudged his brother. "It was never this bad until recently though..." Inuyasha looked up at the ceiling deep in thought. Sesshomaru chose to ignore his brothers comments.

"Has she called Kagome? Or Sango? Youre closer to them than me." Sesshomaru was checking his phone every couple of minutes. He couldnt call the cops yet because she had only been gone a couple of hours.

Inuyasha shook his head. "No, I havent even told them shes gone yet...you know how they get about each other." Another yawn.

"I'm going to go find her...She has my kids." Sesshomaru got up his head was starting to kill him. Inuyasha stood up to. "I'm going to go home and call the girls. Maybe theyve heard something by now." Sesshomaru nodded and sat back down. Still eyeing his phone hoping that it would light up with a message from Rin.


Rins eyes were closed for maybe 30 minutes before Sunnys cries woke her up. She looked up at her mom and made grabby hands. She wanted her father. Sunny was always searching for her father. She was a daddys girl. It had been like that since the nurse first placed her into Sesshomarus arms. You could see the moment when they fell in love with each other. Rin had no doubt in her mind that Sesshomaru would kill for their newborn daughter.

"Baby girl..." She tried to soothe her daughter. Ran looked up to both of them and wondered what was going on. Sunnys cries filled the hotel room for what felt like forever. Rin held her daughter with one arm and reached into their baby bag for a bottle. Maybe it would help Sunny calm down.

After the bottle Sunny started to cry again. Ran rolled over onto his stomach and reached for Sunnys empty bottle. Rin was used to dealing with the twins on her own but now it felt more lonely knowing Sesshomaru wasnt going to be near her.

A tear rolled down her face. Rin was so lost in her thoughts she didnt even notice Sunny stopped crying. Her curious brown eyes staring up at her mother before giving her brother a look. Their secret twin language they had between them that Rin could never understand. Rin wiped her nose and put on smile. "Mommys okay..."

Rin reached down into her pocked and pulled out her cell phone. Holding the power button down until the screen lit up and loaded to her home screen. She was going to have to tell Sesshomaru they were going to separate until something changed. Could she even hear his voice right now?

Her phone started to light up as it received texts messages and voicemails. Sesshoamru(6) Kagome (2) Sango (2) and a hand fulll of voicemails.

She chose to ignore them when her phone went off. It was Inuyasha calling. How odd.

"Hello?" She answered. "Jesus Christ Rin, where the Hell are you? Sesshomaru and Kagome are going crazy looking for you." Inuyasha scolded. "Your husband wants his kids and his mate back."

Rin rolled her eyes. Possesive dog men. "We'll He can see OUR children in a couple of days. I need to collect myself before I start looking for lawyers." She heard Inuyasha gasp on the other line.

"You know it doesnt work like that Rin. A divorce lawyer isnt going to erase that thing on your neck. That mating mark."

"Were going to separate either way Inuyasha. Sesshomaru can't keep doing this when we have children now! Sunny misses her father so much but I do not trust him around them when he gets like that." Rin looked around the hotel room and noticed she was raising her voice. "I'm sorry. Just tell Sesshomaru what I told you..." She hung up the phone before he could complain.

Minutes later Rins phone lit up again. She checked and sure enough it was her husband. She ignored the call and threw her phone on the bed. The twins were laying on the bed and playing with their fingers. Her phone lit up with new text messages. Mostly Sesshomaru texting her question marks.

She ignored the texts and instead sent him a picture of Ran and Sunny playing on the bed. "Will figure out visitation in the future." She put her phone down and saw her phone get bombarded with texts from Sesshomaru.


past:

Rin sat on her couch next to Sesshomaru with a bowl of popcorn on her lap. Sesshomaru was looking through the channels on her TV. "Pick something!" Rin threw a piece of popcorn at him laughing at him while he picked it off his lap and ate it.

"Nothing good on Rin." Rin sighed and mashed random buttons until a channel came up. Random movie that they probably wouldnt pay attention to. Whenever they hung out at her apartment the couple would just talk to each other. Sesshomaru would try to make Rin giggle a lot.

For now he just held her hand while trying to pay attention to the movie. She leaned her head onto his arm. She put some popcorn into her mouth and chewed. Trying hard not to eat so noisily. Sesshomaru nudged her. "Can still hear you." Rin blushed and inched away from him. "Rude!" She pouted at him and stuck her tongue out.

Sesshomaru was about to grab Rins tongue when his cell phone went off. "Ugh.." He answered without looking at the caller ID. "Yes I'm still at Rins...Staying in tonight. Later Kagura." He hung up his phone and put it on silent before placing it on the table. "She wanted to go out to the bar again..."

Rin sighed. Always the bar. She didnt know why they wouldnt just come to her apartment and drink there. "She can always drink here! Why doesnt she like me?"

Sesshomaru sighed. "I'm pretty sure my ex girlfriend doesnt want to hang around my new girlfriend. Naraku wouldnt like that idea either. Things wouuld get awkward since there wouldnt be anyone else to talk to."

Rin sighed with him. " We can go out if thats what you want to do. I don't mind. I can text Sango and Kagome..." Rin almost got up but Sesshomaru pulled her back down onto his lap. "I want to stay in with you tonight." He kissed her on her neck and pulled her closer to his chest. Rin snuggled up closer to him.

"Thanks..." She slid off his lap and took her spot next to him again. A new movie was on the tv but she wasnt paying attention. She was more focused on Sesshomaru and the random glances he would shoot her. It made her heart flutter. Her perfect stranger was so considerate of her feelings. It was too early but she was positive she was falling for him fast.
