Chapter 13
I do not own Inuyasha.

Rin backed away and sat down staring intently at the couple. She looked behind her at Sesshoumaru and grinned innocently. The succubus snarled at Fai but she merely grinned and leaned over top of him, slipping one hand on his thigh and the other on the ground by his head. "You know I like playing hard to get," she said. The succubus rose stiffly and cracked his neck. "It's about time Fai, I ain't waiting any longer." "Ah Kuro-chan..." By the end of it Rin had turned pale. She got up on shaky legs and forced her legs to run far. Sesshoumaru followed her.

"Ughn..." Rin clutched her stomach. "Why? Why is it--?" 'Hee hee, you finally understand, Rin-chan? The experiments and last night, they're the same. The feeling of intense disgust you felt at the hands of Ofuda is exactly what your Lord Sesshoumaru did to you last night. Do you get it? He was after you the whole time.' Mana chuckled. 'Well? Does it make sense now?' Rin hiccoughed through her tears and moaned. "No, no it isn't! It's a lie! Sesshoumaru-sama protects me, I don't care! Ofuda was different, he, he--" 'He what? Don't be stupid and naieve Rin. You know exactly what's going on, you always did.' Rin sobbed and screamed, "Those are your feelings! Not mine!" Mana chuckled again and asked dulcetly,'Do you want me to make him pay? Revenge is sweet Rin, remember? When Ofuda killed himself a large part of you cheered and light up with delight. You knew he was going to do it. Why deny? Give in. Let me out. We are one and the same...' Mana's voice was a soft coo, convincing and sweet--trust-worthy and loving, but Rin paused all the same. Sesshoumaru entered the clearing in front of her and said, "Rin?"

Looking up at the sky, Rin screamed, "WE ARE NOT!" A light pulsed from her chest and a vibrating hum shook the trees and ground. Sesshoumaru stepped forward only to be repulsed by a barrier, his eyes turned slightly red and he swept it away disdainfully. Rin's body began to convulse and she hovered above the ground unsteadily. Like watching a cell make an exact replica, from her arm came an arm, and on the other side, a face seperated from hers and a body followed. Another girl fell from Rin and turned to face her as they both floated for a moment. Rin opened her eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Mana..." Mana linked her fingers with Rin's, "It was always for you, Rin..." The light stopped and both girls fell back, unconscious. Sesshoumaru caught them with ease and carried them easily. Apparently he was unaffected by the entire spectacle.

Rin woke first and Sesshoumaru was no where in sight. A warm hand was wrapped around hers though. She turned over and studied the girl beside her intently. She was human, and very pretty with long, long golden hair and soft pale skin a big contrast to Rin's dark, waist length black hair and darkened skin. Mana had a smaller build, but there was something about her that was aggressive. "Mana..." Rin whispered her name and stroked her hair. The girl started and looked around with panic. Her eyes were emerald flecked with bits of orange and brown Rin noticed as she turned her attention to Rin. "Rin...?" Mana snatched her hand away and backed away. "What-what's going on? What's happened?!" Rin tilted her her head to one side, "What do you mean? We seperated, I set you free...?" Mana paled, "No, I know that, Rin what-what happened to-to you?!" Rin frowned with perplexity, "What do you mean?"

Sesshoumaru and Kamui stepped out of the trees with another very cute youkai female. "Uh oh..." Kamui murmured. Sesshoumaru was staring at her intently and Mana had backed away farther. Feeling forlorn and not understanding in the least bit, Rin blinked back a tear. 'I didn't know I was that ugly,' she thought. Mana looked up sharply, 'I can still hear you!' She said without opening her mouth. She crawled back and looked directly at Rin's face. 'Concentrate on receiving my images,' she ordered. Rin closed her eyes and saw through Mana's eyes--and opened her eyes in shock, holding back a gasp. Mana kept feeding her the image of herself.

It seemed that over night Rin had undergone a transformation. Her black hair had curled into long ringlets and her eyes had gotten sharper, and turned magenta mixed with violet. Her ears had turned pointed and small fangs glinted on her blood red lips, blending nicely with her even darker skin. As she twisted around Mana fed her the image of very small and still growing white wings. Mana looked down at the rest of her body and Rin almost yelled with anger, her bust had swelled again! Her waist was thinner though and her legs longer. Mana looked at her hands and Rin did gasp. She had claws! Oh no! Mana looked lower, and pointed at Rin's newly sprouted black tail. Rin fainted.

Sesshoumaru turned to Kamui as Mana caught Rin. "Explain," he ordered shortly. Kamui chuckled, "It's just one thing after another with this girl, eh? Give me a sec..." He bent down and nicked her arm, sampling her blood carefully. "Ah...!" Kamui clutched his head and collapsed painfully. The other youkai rushed forward and turned him over on his side as he began to convulse. After a moment it stopped and Kamui stayed silent save for his hoarse breathing. Turning over he joked, "I won't be trying that again in a hurry. Sorry Hatsumi-chan, I'm fine." His hand slid up her thigh and she smacked him, dropping him as she stood up. Kamui sat up and smiled gently at Mana who glared back and clutched Rin protectively.

Kamui held out his hand, "Look, Mana. I need to inspect her, so, may I borrow her for a moment?" Mana grudgingly let go and Kamui patted her hand, "Thanks." He sniffed around, and touched her face, studying her now appearing deep red markings too. His nose twitched inquisitively. "Well...now that's interesting," he commented after half an hour. Mana barked, "What?!" Kamui sat back with a grin, "I have no clue." He chuckled, "I don't understand at all, but I have a small theory." He paused and Hatsumi threw a log at him.

"Er, right.." he winced. "The theory...Well, from what I smell and obviously see. She's youkai, right? That was apparent to all of us, but see...It's different. The wings come form a breed of extinct higher class youkai, more gentle in nature and disposition, also known as 'angels' but they were called rinji riko, and to the youkai they were casually called doku, poison. The markings indicate high class too, but among the inuyoukai, like Sesshoumaru-sama. So, from what I can gather, she's a mix between a rinji riko and a fox demon. The question is why? I've heard rumours that the rinji riko had the power to turn ordinary humans into youkai, weaker than them and certainly not as high in rank, but youkai nonetheless. I've never heard of them doing this, and they're suposed to be dead." He sighed, "Ah, well...I guess I'll have to use your power Hami-chan. Are you ready?" Hatsumi came forward, "This is going to drain me, but alright. What other good is a seer?" She leaned over Rin and placed her hand on Rin's forhead and her own and stayed very still, concentrating fiercely.

Visions flooded her mind, and past memories shot into her sight like a rushing river. Hatsumi gasped and her hand shook as she absorbed all of Rin's memories. Hatsumi screamed and arched up into the air, glowing a purplish hue, eyes wide and unseen. "How dare you?" she screamed in a low male voice. "You are forbidden from touching her!" Kamui yelled back, "We want to understand what happened, tell us." Hatsumi smirked, "And why should I, little demon?" Sesshoumaru stepped forward and said icily, "You have very little choice in this matter. Speak." Hatusmi turned her glowing, empty eyes on Sesshoumaru and smiled. "Lord Sesshoumaru, you've grown magnificently. For you I'll speak." Hatsumi shook and spread her arms in a throwing gesture. A screen of light formed in her hands and she held it steadily. Hatmsui's face when dark.
