InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ It ends with a bang ❯ Sand? ( Chapter 1 )

"Mmmmm." Rin slowly turned over. She went to grab her sheets, but got a handful of what seemed like sugar. Rin opened her eyes and peered at her hand. "Sand?" The sound of water got her attention; she slowly got up and looked around. "A beach. Where am I?" She tried to remember what happened. Images of dancing, drinking, fire and people screaming flashed in her mind. Her eyes went wide "Kagome, Anni, Sango. This isn't funny!" she started to walk. The sound of cars filled her ears. "Cars? There must be a road and people!" She looked up to where the noise was coming from. The road was about 30ft up. She gasped, she started to climb "I swear to God… if those girls… aren't dead, they will be… when I find them." Rin pants as she's half way up the cliff.

She was almost up when she lost her footing. She fell and hit the sand. "Hope they're being tortured." She grunted as she got up and started climbing again and making it all the way up. She pulled herself up as a gust of wind came. It was then that she looked down and noticed her clothes. She had on knee high boots, a black skirt, and an ocean blue tank top. She wrapped her arms around herself to try to keep warm. Rin look around and saw Kagome's car on the shoulder of the road. "Thank God," she muttered. Rin ran to the car, but no one was in it. She saw the keys in the ignition. She tried the driver side door and found it locked. She ran around the car trying all the doors. "Damn it!" Rin picked up the rock and smashed the driver side window. "Oh well, It's her fault I fell." She unlocked the door and jumped in. She tried to step on the gas, but it wouldn't budge. She put her hand down to see what was wrong. Her hand met cold metal and she pulled it. When her eyes met the object she went wide eyed. "A gun?" Rin whispered. She threw it into the passenger seat, turned on the car and floored it. She saw a sign and came to a jerking stop. The sign read "Heather's Beach"

She opened the compartment and grabbed the map, and ran her finger up and down the streets and towns. "Please, please….Yes, still in L.A!" Her finger started to move up and down the map. It stopped. Rin slumped in her seat. "1 hour away. Crap!" She slammed her fists against the steering wheel. She stared at the sign. She looked at the map. Cops are an hour away; the girls may be an hour away-the other way. She looked back and forth. "Oh yeah! What a nice place this is Kagome!" Rin threw the car into drive. She flipped through the stations trying to find a song. "Great!" Rin muttered "The first time I wanna here `Genie in a bottle' I get `Highway to hell'! What a wonderful..." She glanced out the shattered window "night."

"It's gonna be ok." Rin kept repeating as she got out of the car 1 hour later walking toward the club. It wasn't really a club anymore. It was all burnt. Only the name Kildare was eligible. Rin was a foot from the building. She looked up, turned around and went to the car. She grabbed the gun from the passenger seat. "Please, please." She chanted as she opened the clip. "Yes!" She closed it and stuck the loaded gun in her boot. "Better safe then sorry." Rin whispered as she headed into the club. She was about to close the doors but then pushed them wide open. She froze as she stepped through the beaded curtain and found people lying on the floor. "Oh my God." Rin panted heavily. The floor was littered with bodies. "Hello!" Rin whispered. She looked around.

Her eyes landed on a stair case. "That's right, there are rooms upstairs." Rin walked to the stairs, stepping over bodies as she went. Rin kept her right hand over the gun. She walked up the steps. The boards moaned as she took each step. Rin stopped half way up. She looked around. Rin then started up again. Her leg went through a step. Rin let out a holler. After a few seconds of breathing she pulled her leg up. She looked at her leg to assess the damages. A few scrapes. That was it. "Alright. Everything is fine." Rin got to the top, and slowly walked passed the rooms. "Kagome, Anni. This isn't funny anymore you guys." Rin called. A creak came from behind her. "Sango!" Rin whispered as she whirled around. No one. "Where the hell are you?" Rin screamed. She then felt warm air on the back of her neck. She slowly turned around. Rin tried to scream, but it was muffled by a hand. She closed her eyes tight as she was slammed against the wall.

"Do you wanna be killed?" A mean voice whispered. Rin shook her head. "Will you be quiet?" The grip on her mouth loosened. Rin's eyes slowly opened. They met gold eyes. She slowly nodded. "What's your name?" he asked, he lowered his hand. Rin looked over him. He was a lot taller then her.

"Rin." She whispered. She blushed a bit when an image of them dancing flashed in her head. "What's yours?"

"Sess." He replied. He saw the pink tint come to her cheeks. He then noticed her rubbing her neck. "Sorry if I hurt you, it's just…." He trailed off when she stared behind him, with a pale face. "What's wrong?" He whispered as he made her face him.

"Which way did you come from?" She stared at him, while she thought `front door'.

"A room down the hall. Why?" He didn't move.

"Because I left the front doors open." Rin whispered as she turned him around. Rin had been looking at the shut doors with tables piled against them. Rin and Sess went flying down the hall and down the stairs. The stairs didn't hold. Sess landed on his back with Rin draped over his legs. They both groaned and sat up. "Where are we?"

"Must be a sealed off basement." Sess said as he helped her up. A soft breathing could be heard from the corner behind them. They turned around and met red eyes. 2 shots rang.

Rin and Sess looked up to where the shots had come from. They then looked back to the red eyes. They were gone. Rin reached for the gun in her boot. It was gone as well. She then looked at Sess.

"You saw what I saw, right?" They stared at each other for a few seconds. Her eyes pleading for him to say `No' so that she wouldn't feel scared. It was as if he had read her mind.

"I wish I could say no, but I think I saw what you saw." He looked around. He could barely see, since the only light was coming from the hole in the stairs. "Stay here I'm gonna check for a light." Rin gave a little nod as he walked away. After a few minutes of crashing and curse words a dim light flickered on.

"So since there were gun shots do you think some other people are alive up there?" Rin questioned as she walked around looking at stuff. She slowly ran her hands over some objects as she turned to look at him.

"I don't know. I just hope they don't shoot us." His eyes were now use to the darkness as he looked for a way back to the main floor. He thought he saw a set of stairs behind a bunch of boxes. "Rin come here. I think I found away up."

"Thank god. All these dark shadows were starting to give me the creeps." She headed to where Sess had already started to clear the boxes away. It was then that she got a good look at him. He had black jeans on with what looked like a blue satin shirt. The top three buttons of the shirt were undone. The look was topped of with his white hair in a pony tail. Rin finally put her eyes back in her head and went to help. As they worked creaking sounds came from up above. "What the hell was that?" Rin stopped and looked up.

"That may be our shooter." Sess stated as he continued to work, although it was at a much quicker pace. Glass shattered behind them. Rin squealed as she whirled around. Sess put his hand on her shoulder as he put his finger to his lips. "Hello!" Rin went wide eyed when Sess hollered. "Who's there?" Sess slowly walked toward the broken glass. Rin heard whimpering as he got closer.

"Kagome?" Rin whispered. "Sess stop!" Sess turned to look at her. "Wait." Rin slowly walked past him. She saw a figure cowering in the corner. "Kagome." The figure slowly lifted its head. Rin got a bit closer. All of a sudden the figure jumped at her. Rin and the figure landed on the floor with the figure on her stomach. It was a woman with scares all over her face.

"Guess again!" She laughed. Just as she was about to speak again Sess grabbed her by the hair and chucked her against the wall. He kneeled down beside her and helped her sit up.

"Are you ok?" He helped her stand and checked for any damage. He looked at her face and turn to see what she was looking at.

"Where did she go?" They both looked around the room. Nothing, she was gone. Rin finally broke the silence. "What in blue hell was that thing?"

"I would have to say the one that blocked the doors." Sess then walked to the stairs and started chucking the boxes, instead of placing them like they originally did. "Help me. We have to get out of here." Rin walked to where he was and started throwing boxes as well. After a few minutes, and dead silence, they were done.

"Let's get out of here." Rin and Sess were about to head up the stairs when a scratching sound came from a few feet away. They looked at each other then looked to where the noise came from. "What was that?"

"I don't know." Sess slowly walked to where he could see where the noise came from. He saw that behind a table was a storage door. He went to take down the table when he heard Rin whimper. He looked up just as she came to his side.

"Do we have to look?" She just wanted to leave him there and bolt up the stairs.

"We don't have to." Just as he turned to walk to the stairs the scratching noise came again. "But curiosity is getting the best of me." Sess got the table out of the way and put his hand on the knob. Rin jumped behind him and peaked out over his shoulder. He opened the door.

WHOSH Screams echoed through the night.

Rin slowly backed up. `No. No it can't be it's a joke.' Sess turned around and grabbed Rin. He tucked her head under his neck and rubbed her back. She dropped to the ground and let the tears come freely.

"Who is she?" Sess tried to sooth her but he had to know.

"She….she's a….friend of mine…Her n.names…A...A...Anni." with that Rin broke into tears again. There was one of her bestest friends hanging in the storage closet by her feet. Sess picked Rin up and set her out of sight of the storage closet. He slowly walked over to the closet again to try to figure out what happened. When he looked behind her he found a knife wedged in her neck. He then looked down to the floor and noticed her nails scratching the floor. Sess glanced over at Rin, when he saw that she still had her head down he undid the ties around Anni's feet and laid her on the floor. With that he walked over to Rin and set his hand on her shoulder.
