InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Life of a Youkai's Lover ❯ Surprise Surprise! ( Chapter 12 )

I have a MAILING LIST... so if you wanna know when I'm posting a chapter or NEW story... leave your email in a review or email me at Sailorn_skey@yahoo.com

THANK YOU!

(oh... all my raving about why I haven't posted and how sorry I am will be at the end of this chapter. I know I held you guys so long... I wouldn't want you to have to wait more by reading my crap at the beginning.)

"Rin, I have to ask you something," Kagome announced.

Rin opened the doors to the Higurashi well and turned to the dark haired priestess, "What's up?"

"I've been thinking… this my sound weird bit, what if everything that happened in your past life is happening in this life also?"

Rin gave Kagome a blank look, "What?"

"Well, in your past life your parents died. In this like your parents died. In your past life you were separated from Sesshoumaru… and now you can't get back to him in this life."

"Kagome, I think you're losing sleep. I won't be separated from Sesshoumaru-sama again. Now, as for my parents… m-maybe it was a… coincidence." Rin insisted.

Kagome could see the hurt look that passed Rin's eyes so she quickly changed the subject. "Let's go. We don't want our men waiting."

Rin noticed her change of subject and smiled at her for being such an understanding friend.

"What if it doesn't work? We'll hit the bottom." Rin whimpered.

"I've hit the bottom plenty of times. It's not that bad." Kagome smiled.

Rin gulped and Kagome grabbed her hand. (After all, this was Rin's REAL 1st time jumping in. She was pushed in the first time.) They positioned themselves to jump, but a sudden light hit them.

~F.JAPAN~

"Were you able to see Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked his younger brother.

Inu-yasha blushed, "Uh! Yeah… did you see Rin?"

"Yes," Sesshoumaru replied.

"And?" Inu-yasha asked, with an interested tone.

"I talked to her."

Inu-yasha eyed his brother suspiciously and sat on the ground. Sesshoumaru turned to him and was about to ask him about his meeting with Kagome, but a blast interrupted him.

The two demons looked at the well in complete confusion and noticed it was glowing silver.

"What do you think is wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Inu-yasha looked inside the dark hole and gasped.

"KAGOME!" he yelled, completely neglecting Sesshoumaru's question.

Inu-yasha jumped inside the well and picked up the raven haired women. She was red in the face but was alive.

"Rin," Kagome mumbled, opening her eyes.

Inu-yasha carried the girl out the well and laid her on the ground.

"What happened?" Inu-yasha asked.

Kagome shook her head and slowly looked up at Sesshoumaru.

"I'm sorry… I couldn't help her." She cried.

"Rin? What happened to her?" Sesshoumaru growled.

"The bone eaters well… came to life. No, something came to life… it took her. It was like before… I told her. I wasn't worried but then the bones… it died… you killed it." Kagome started crying and Sesshoumaru cursed.

Inu-yasha pulled Kagome in his arms, "Basically, you're telling us something came to life in the well. It took Rin and something like this happened before?"

Kagome nodded her head and Sesshoumaru walked towards the well.

"Whatever it was… I'll kill it." He said before jumping in.

"I'll leave you here and I'll help my brother find Rin." Inu-yasha smiled standing up.

"NO! I don't want to be separated from you. I'll come with you and fight." Kagome screamed, pulling the demon down.

Inu-yasha smirked and brought Kagome's lips to his. When he pulled away, Kagome blushed and jumped up.

"Come on Inu-chan. We have to help my brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law? What's that?" Inu-yasha asked watching Kagome jump through the well.

"My head hurts." Rin moaned trying to rub it.

Her eyes snapped open when she realized she was couldn't move. Her arms were held over her head and the rest of her body was hanging above the ground.

"HELP ME!" she screamed, trying to pull her hands out the bands that held her.

They tightened and Rin screamed out in pain.

"Foolish girl, there isn't anyone here who can hear you." A voice laughed.

"Who are you?" Rin yelled, feeling the bands on her wrist tingle.

A dark figure formed a little from Rin and she gasped in surprised. It was in the form of a human but had lizard like eyes. He's skin was a tint of green and his tongue was like a small tube.

"We were once one. I'm hoping we can become one again." It smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Rin snapped.

The lizard man walked over to Rin and rubbed its dry fingers across her face. "You really don't remember me do you?" he asked.

"Why should I?"

The lizard laughed and ran its tongue across her lips. Rin felt tears run down her face and she screamed the one thing she knew could help her…. "HELP ME! SESSHOUMARU-SAMA! HELP ME!"

A flash of light passed Rin's eyes and she was pulled into short flashback.

~~**FLASHBACK**~~

"What a pure child. You are just what I needed to get my power back." A creature laughed, sucking up the air around Rin.

"HELP ME! SESSHOUMARU-SAMA! HELP ME!" Rin screamed, before all was black.

~~**ENDFLASHBACK**~~

"YOU!?" Rin screamed, finally releasing who the demon was.

"Bingo, I knew you couldn't forget someone who killed you before." He laughed.

Rin's eyes widen in fright, "I thought you were killed? Why-no-HOW did you come back?"

"My bones, like others, were put inside the Bones Eaters Well. When the Jewel of Four Souls is near a creature bones… it awakens the demon's spirit. That's what happened to me… except, I took the soul of a human just before I died. Since, your soul mated with a demon's, you hold a hidden strength that allows you to be reborn repeatedly."

"What are you trying to say?" Rin cried.

The creature smiled, "If I keep using you… I can use that power inside of you to come back to life. But, I have grown a certain bond with you over the years."

"Over the years? What are you talking about?"

The creature smiled and pulled Rin's lips to his, when he finally pulled away… he looked completely human.

"TONY?" Rin screamed.

"Surprised?" Tony asked.

Rin's mind was completely confused. She didn't know how should act towards the creature that killed her in her past life… and the person she was going to marry in her present life.

"Hey, was it really that big of a shock?" Tony smirked.

Rin gave him a disgusted look, "How are you a youkai? You look human to me."

"That's where you came in, my dear. Like I said before, you mated with a demon… which meant you HAD to come back to life in order to be with him again. When your soul began the process of rebirth… it took me for the little ride also. Since our souls were connected, I was reborn also… but as a human. I was sort of "half-ling" considering my demon side was not awakened. The only way my demon side could be awakened was if… the Jewel of Four Souls and you or me, were near them at the same time. That's why I wanted to marry you so bad. So I could have a better chance getting close to my bones."

Rin's mouth was hanging open the entire time he spoke. Everything he was saying was completely crazy. Sure, it made sense in some ways… but it was too much for the girl to digest.

"Why do you still want me? Isn't our souls connected still? You could still come back to life, even if you died." Rin argued.

"That's when you're wrong. If you died more than 5 minutes before me, I wouldn't be able to come back. That's why I need you here with me always. That way, if you died… I can kill myself and know I would come back." Tony smiled.

"What if you died before me?" Rin asked.

"The only way I can die before you is if a demon kills me. Considering the fact there are NO demons in this time, I wouldn't have to worry."

"Then what's the POINT? You aren't going to DIE!" Rin screamed.

Tony slapped her across the face, "Don't yell. You're giving me a headache. This is also the last time I'm going to explain this; I need you… to make sure you DON'T DIE! If you die I can't come back!"

Rin nodded her head and Tony smiled. He ran his fingers across the red mark on her face and kissed it lightly.

"I don't want to hurt you, Rin. I told you before... I've grown a certain bond with you over the years. Everything is up to you now."

"What's up to me?" Rin whispered disgustedly.

"Become my wife and stay with me. Or I'll treat you like an animal and leave you tied up all the time. Easy choice isn't it? But don't worry; I'll give you a chance to think about it." Tony whispered, kissing Rin again.

Rin watched the demon leave the room and Rin's heart began to sink. She didn't know what she should do. She knew she couldn't become his wife and she knew she couldn't survive a life like an animal. If she let herself died... she would hurt Sesshoumaru and Tony would just find her again anyway. Everything was so confusing... she just wanted to get out.

"Sesshoumaru, please help me. PLEASE! I don't know if I can survive without you." Rin cried...

~~

Tony listened to Rin's cries from outside of the door. He chuckled when he heard the women call out her lovers name... but completely neglected her pleas for help.

"Even if he came to find you... do you really think I'll let you go?" Tony smiled.

OMG! I am sooooo sorry for taking SOOOOOO LONG! I've been getting reviews asking if I was going to continue and all this mess. I mean... I even got EMAILS! At least I know you guys like it. I SWEAR>... I'll NEVER take this long on a chapter again. I mean... I had work, play, school, track, STUPID TESTS! AH! So, I had my reasons (even if they aren't good one's)

Well, REVIEW and tell me how much you hate me for making such a SUCKY next chapter. OR surprise me and tell me you liked it and were very surprised with the choice of bad guy. (I really didn't know what I was going to do with him.) Anyway, the next chappy is in the process... I promise it won't be as long as a wait.

THANX!
