Title: From Ice to Sunshine

Chapter 4: Tears of Sadness

By InuShemeeko

Rin smiled as she merrily skipped down the stairs. She had been staying one whole week with the Tenseiga family. They treated her as if she was one of the family. There had been one downside, Sesshomaru would hardly ever speak to her, his little brother Inuyasha had just told her.

"That's just the way Sesshomaru is a cold fish. I'm sure he likes you and all, I mean he wouldn't have asked you to stay with us if he didn't like you just a little."

Hearing this had brought a smile to her face, however it was not the reason she had a spring in her step today. Today was the day that her mother would return from her business trip. Rin had talked to her earlier this morning, their had made plans to go to lunch and Rin had promised to tell her all about Bradley.

Rin bowed to Mr. Tenseiga upon entering the kitchen her voice remained soft as she spoke to him.

"Good morning Mr. Tenseiga."

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's father smiled softly back at her.

"Good Morning to you too Rin. I take it by your mood that your mother will be returning from her business trip?"

Rin nodded a yes to him and then spoke her answer.

"Yes, sir she is."

Mr. Tenseiga took a sip of his coffee as he looked back at Rin.

"Good, good."

Rin took a bowl out and fixed a bowl of fruit salad. She then sat down and continued to eat it. She could help but smile at her mother's hard work. Mrs. Faren was one of the must well known businesswomen in the world. What it was that the business her mother worked for did she wasn't sure. All Rin knew was that whenever there was some over shore business to be done her mother was the one to do it.

Rin turned her head to the TV as the weatherman warned of showers that would move in toward lunchtime. However, what really caught her eyes was the late breaking news sign that flashed across the screen.

~~BREAKING NEWS from IFN ~~

"This just in a business jet belonging to Youkai Incorporated has gone down. The jet was on a routine business flight. When the left engine caught fire. The pilot, as well as the five people on board died in the fiery crash."

Pictures of the people killed in the crash started to flick on to the TV screen, as the reporter said their names and how old they were.

"Isas Kado 26 he was the youngest aboard the jet."

The reporter's voice faded away after he spoke the next name.

" Mrs. Orela Faren, 37 widowed and mother of a 17 year old daughter. The daughter's name will not be given. Faren was one of the first women to move up the corporate ladder. Youkai Inc. has said that her expertise will be greatly missed."

It was at this moment that the world stopped moving for Rin. None of this was real, it couldn't be. Her chest felt frozen and she was unable to pull in any oxygen. Before Rin knew what she was doing she sprang off the couch and out of the living room.

"Rin honey wait."

Mrs. Tenseiga called after her.

"Just let her go Izayoi."

Izayoi turned her now glazed eyes over toward her husband.

"Inutaisho, she can't go through this alone. That girl has been through so much. Why did this have to happen Inutaisho why?"

Inutaisho got up from the table and wrapped his strong arms around his wife as he comforted her. He knew that it was not good for the unborn child for his wife to be this upset. However, it could not be helped Rin's mother had went to school with Izayoi. So the two of them had been friends and now Orela was gone.

As Rin ran out of the living room her shoulder hit Inuyasha as she ran for the front door.

"Hey…!"

Inuyasha blinked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Did I miss something here?"

Inutaisho and Izayoi both looked up at their son as he came into the room. One look at his mother told him that something had happen. Just as Inutaisho was about to explain to Inuyasha what had happened. There was a slam of a door upstairs and then the sound of hurried feet coming down the stairs.

Sesshomaru's head whipped around the side of the kitchen doorway, his usually cold eyes held a spark of something that his parent and brother had never seen before, deep concern and worry.

"Where's Rin?"

Both Inutaisho and Izayoi pointed toward the open front door. Sesshomaru's eyes carefully followed his father's glance. Upon seeing the open front door, Sesshomaru took off in a flash. Inuyasha smirked after his half brother.

"Keh. I haven't seen him move that fast, since his alarm clock broke and he was late for school."

*************************************************************** *********

Tears ran down the corners of her eyes as she ran. She wasn't even sure where she was going just as long as she got away from this reality. This couldn't be her world this had to belong to some one else. She had just lost her father six months ago, her mother couldn't be gone she just couldn't.

*You were my guardian angel

You picked me up when I fell

Dried my tears when I cried

You were always there for me*

Rin could believe that this was happening. No she refused to believe that this was happening. Her mother wasn't dead she was on her way home, and when she got home she would laugh about the whole thing.

*You were there for me

When times were tough and I needed

Shoulder, to shed my tears upon*

Her body suddenly sagged to the ground her legs now numb from running the distance that she had. Rin blinked back tears as she looked up to the heavens. Dark angry rain clouds were now forming above her head.

*A guardian angel

Who shielded me from harm

But now that you're gone

The shadows surround me*

"Why, why did you have to take her too? Wasn't my father enough, did you really have to take away my mother too?"

Warm salty tears continued to pour down her cheeks as she hung her head in defeat. Not willingly wanting to do it. Rin realized that both her parents were now really gone and she was now all alone.

*So please don't go

My angel, my solider and shield

Don't leave me all alone

Cuz, I'll cry if I'm alone*

*************************************************************** ******

Sesshomaru's feet beat hard down on the pavement as he ran. He had to find her, he had seen the news report upstairs in his room.

"Where are you Rin? Don't do anything foolish"

From all the moisture he could smell in the air, there was a rainstorm coming he just had to find her. However, what was he going to do when he did find her? Yet in a way he too had lost a parent, he had lost his mother the day she left them.

A rumble of thunder told the world that the rain was now here. Sesshomaru soon recognized the neighbor he was now in. Rin's house wasn't far from here perhaps she had gone home? Suddenly tears started to fall from the heavens; it wasn't long before Sesshomaru's clothes were soaked. Sesshomaru then took off toward Rin's house. His honey eyes soon caught sight of a figure slumped under a tree in the park. He knew that form all to well.

"Rin."

Sesshomaru then made his way to the still form. The closer he got the better he could hear soft sobs coming from the form.

"Rin?"

*************************************************************** *********

Rin slowing lifted her head at the sound of her name. There standing in front of her was the one person who she felt like she could trust. Despite the cold and stoic looks he would give her.

Sesshomaru's looked down at the young woman. The gold T-shirt and dark blue jeans she was wearing were now soaked with rainwater. Her dark hair was now plastered to her head as water dripped from the ends. A glimmer of emotion for the girl sparked as his honey eyes locked with her cinnamon eyes.

"Rin we should go. You clothes are soaked as are mine, we should get into some dry ones; before you and I both become ill."

All Rin could do was nod her head. She seemed froze to the ground, unsure why Sesshomaru found himself kneeling down and lifting her into his arms. Rin then snuggled closer to Sesshomaru chest; the water soaked shirt was now showing off each curve of his muscled chest.

"Sesshomaru, take me home please? To my parents house."

A deep sadness never seen before in Sesshomaru, flashed in his eyes. Why would the girl want to go to the one place he was sure was filled with sadness for her. However, he did not question her request but only nodded in response and took off in the direction of her home.

*************************************************************** *****

Fifteen minutes later Sesshomaru found himself standing in front of the little blue house in which Rin lived. He found the spare key and unlocked the front door, never losing his grip on the girl in his arms. Seeing that Rin had started to shiver he quickly started a fire in the fireplace.

Once there was a fire roaring in the fireplace. He went to Rin and picked her up once more. She remained silent the whole time. Her silence unnerved him to no end, the sunlight was gone from her face. Her warm was the one thing that he had started to treasure and now it was gone.

Flipping on a light switch Sesshomaru soon found Rin's room. He gently pushed the door open as he flipped on another light. He then sat her on the end of her bed; the comforter was maroon with fake diamond studs on it. Sesshomaru flinched as he looked into her now dull lifeless eyes. Determined to reach her, he spoke to her.

"Rin I going to find your dryer so I can dry my clothes. Do you know if there is anything I can wear while I wait for my clothes to dry?"

The girl remained silent. Which only irritated Sesshomaru more. He sighed as he stood up and turned away from him.

"Fine, you may remain in that shell that you have crawled into, but don't expect me to care. I'm going to dry my clothes and then I will leave you to your self pity."

Sesshomaru then felt something grab on to the back on his wet white T-shirt. Causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Please, don't go Sesshomaru. Everyone I have ever cared about has left me. Don't leave me alone too."

Sesshomaru's honey eyes widened in surprise at Rin's confession, she care about him. Why? Why did she care, when he had just been cold to her? He then turned to face her. Tears now gleamed inside of the cinnamon orbs, that only minutes ago had been lifeless.

"Please Sesshomaru, please don't leave me all alone. I don't think I could stand this pain in my chest if you left me too."

Sesshomaru was now confused as of what to do for her. He had never had to comfort someone. He was unsure of what he should do. Rin seemed to sense his uneasiness.

"Hold me, just hold me Sesshomaru."

Now that her body was closer to his he felt as if his own heart was about to break. She didn't deserve this pain that she was feeling. Rin was everything he wasn't, he was full of light and happiness, and she was innocent and pure. Sesshomaru then found himself placing a finger under her chin and lifting her tear streaked face to look at his handsome face.

"I wish there was more I could do to ease your pain. If there were a way to end the pain in your heart I would do it. Sadly there is not only time."

Without really realizing it Sesshomaru's lips captured Rin's within his in a deep heart felt kiss. Both involved in the kiss were taken by surprise. Neither one had expected it, however what was done was done. The question that now remained was where would that one kiss lead them.
