Chapter 24
Something to Protect
Sesshomaru awoke to find himself in a strange, seemingly endless hallway. The walls were white and there were many black doors all along the hallway. Sesshomaru sighed as he lifted himself off the floor. This could take forever. He looked around and just decided to go to the first door he saw. He growled in displeasure when he saw that there was just a stone wall covering the door. He slammed it shut. He didn't like these mind games.
"Sesshomaru-sama" he could hear Rin's cries in his head. He could almost sense where she was. So he trusted his gut and walked further down the hall. He walked further and further, passing doors as he went. He just knew she was further down, he didn't know how he knew it, he just did. He walked for what seemed like forever when he finally reached a black door covered with blood red demon statues. "She's in here" he said to himself.
He put his clawed hand on the doorknob and was about to turn it when he heard another voice in his head. "She's only human..." it whispered to him. His eyebrow perked as he stood there with his hand on the knob.
"She only holds you back"
"Your becoming just as weak-minded as your father and your brother"
"You don't want to protect her"
"It's so unnecessary"
He could hear many voices penetrating his thoughts. He hesitated. He didn't feel so sure he wanted to save her at all. She was only a pathetic human... what was he doing here? He HAD become just like his father and his stupid half-wit brother. He could remember talking to him... long ago.

Flashback...
"Do you really have to go, father?"
"Do you want to stop me, Sesshomaru?" he remembered his father's voice so clearly.
"No, I will not stop you, but I was hoping you would give me the Tetsusaiga"
"Impossible... Will you kill your own father if I say that?" he paused, the only sound you could hear was the waves washing up on shore and the blood dripping from his father's arm.
"Why do you want such power? Why do you seek it?" he asked his son.
"My Tyranny is the way to move ahead. Only with the power may I carve my own path"
"Tyranny?" he sighed "Is there anything you wish to protect Sesshomaru?"
"That's unnecessary" he replied rudely as he stretched his arm out, ready to attack with his vine whip. His father instantly transformed and Sesshomaru did not attack. He looked to his son one last time before running to the aid of his mate and his new born child, Inu yasha.
"Anything to protect? How boring..." he whispered before he to walked away.
End flashback...
~~~
"Sesshomaru-sama" his thoughts were interrupted when he heard Rin call out his name in his head. All doubt simply vanished from his head as he turned the knob quickly and pushed the door open. The voices in his head tried so hard to stop him, but once he was on the other side of the door, they vanished. He slammed the door shut behind him and looked ahead.
It seemed he walked into an endless pit of fire. The walls of the fire grew tall and furious, acknowledging his presense. As he stepped forward, the fire immediately cleared a path for him and he walked through it. He could sense he was getting closer to Rin.
He walked further and further down the path until he hit a dead end. At the end of the path, there was a tombstone, standing alone in the fire. There were no words upon it, not even a name. He could hear something down there. Right where he was standing.
He knelt down and touched the hot soil beneath him. Someone was alive down there, it had to be Rin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin slid her hands across the top of the coffin once more before her arm slowly drifted back to her side. The blood filed the coffin completely, it hurt her eyes if she opened them and it hurt her nose when she tried to breath. Her body was weak, she couldn't get herself out.
She felt like she was drowning, but it never stopped. She just wanted death to take her, but a small part of her wanted to stay alive, just to see Sesshomaru once again. Even though he betrayed her and threw her into this grave, she still wanted to see him.
That's when she heard voices in her head. "Why do you stay with him?"
He is demon, he doesn't care about you"
"You shouldn't follow such a vile creature" she could hear whispers in her ears.
"Your wrong" she thought back.
"Are we? Why has he done this to you?"
"He doesn't care if you die"
"Why do you hold on to your life? Just let go"
"Yes, let go Rin, you have no one in the world who cares"
"Make the pain stop"
"Just let go"
The small bit of hope she had was being easily manipulated. Maybe the voices were right. Maybe she should just let go, she wanted the pain to stop. The voices kept urging her on. "Let go Rin" they called out to her, over and over again. Right as she was ready to give up, she could feel herself being pulled up out of the casket. She breathed in heavily as her head peaked up to the hot, smoky air, out of the blood-filled casket.
The blood covered her entirely, dripping heavily off her brow, making it hard to see. She quickly wiped away the blood from her eyes and looked to see what happened. Her heart was filled with joy when she saw Sesshomaru kneeling down to her. Sesshomaru must have dug his way to her.
"You saved me!" She said with glee. She was so happy. 'He cares! He really does!' her mind shouted to her. It was the best gift knowing that he actually cared enough to save her.
"We have to get out of here" he said to her as he lifted her up with his arm and threw her up on the top of the hole. "I knew you would come for me!" she said to him as he jumped up behind her.
Right at that moment, the ground shook furiously and the fire began to collapse on them. "Shit" Sesshomaru cursed as he grabbed her hand and ran with demon-like speed to the door at the end of the now collapsing path of fire. For a moment, he didn't think he was going to make it, until he saw the door not to far ahead. He got to it quickly and opened it, slamming the door behind them.
Rin sighed once they got back into the hallway Sesshomaru had just been in not to long ago. She looked at her bloody hands as she put them in front of her face. She could smell the blood, it was a strong smell, especially since blood had gone up her nose. This place was so horrible. She looked up to Sesshomaru with tears in her eyes. "Are we going home?" she asked hopefully. She knew they didn't really have a home, they never stayed in one place to long. The world was their home.
"Yes Rin" was all he said in reply as he began to walk down the hallway in the direction he came from, Rin following right behind. He wasn't sure just how to get out of this place. He woke up in the hallway, he didn't walk through a door. Maybe none of these doors lead to the way back. And there were so many doors.
That's when a bright light shown from the direction they were walking to. "That's it" Sesshomaru whispered to himself. He grabbed Rin's hand once again and ran to the light as quickly as possible. When he finally reached the end of the hallway, he saw that the light was coming from a portal where a door should be. In front of the portal, there stood Naraku.
"You will have to get through ME first!" Naraku spat as he put a shield around himself. Bones came from his back and fiercely tried to stab Sesshomaru. He grabbed Rin's small body and jumped just in time to move away. He landed smoothly and looked at Naraku, giving him a cold short laugh which made Naraku grow angry.
"What are you laughing at"
"You can't defeat me... You're not even real..."
Naraku growled viciously at his words. Sesshomaru didn't even move when Naraku came to attack him this time, he simply stood there with Rin by his side.
"I said... YOU'RE NOT REAL!" Sesshomaru yelled as he held his hand out and clawed Naraku's face with his poison claws. Naraku screamed as he disappeared into the wind.
Sesshomaru let out a short "Hmph" as he and Rin walked back through the portal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rin and Sesshomaru woke up immediately after they went through the portal. Rin looked up at Sesshomaru, wondering what they were doing here. "Lord Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked confusingly as she rubbed her eyes. The old woman had told him that memory loss was common after the spell, but she would regain her memory. "Come Rin, we're leaving..." he said as he stood up and left the room. Rin sat there for a moment, rubbing her eyes before getting up and following him out of the door.
She felt slightly confused. She remembered going through the portal, and her whole experience trying to get her sanity back, but the last thing she remembered before that was being in the room where Naraku kept her captive with Kagome. She remembered that Narkau came up to her and made her drink something.... then, all she could remember was pain... horrible, torturous pain.
She shivered at the thought as she walked behind Sesshomaru. "Is Naraku gone Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked as she ran up beside him. "He died the night he made you drink that potion" he replied.
"Oh..." she haulted as she realized that it meant Kohaku was free. She couldn't help but think of him after what happened in her head. She left Sesshomaru's side for a moment. Even though they were leaving, she could catch up in a second.
She ran up to Sango, who was sitting there, alone, simply looking at her reflection in the water. "Excuse me, you're Kohaku's sister, Right?" Sango looked at her curiously.
"Yeah..."
"Where is he now?"
Sango looked back down to her reflection in the water. She was having a hard time finding the words . "He's..." tears leaked down her cheeks as she looked back up at Rin. "He's gone..."
Rin looked down at her own feet. "He's dead... I'm sorry" Rin whispered before turning back around and following Sesshomaru and Jaken. She didn't know him very well, she wished she had now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Ok, to be perfectly honest, I was debating weather or not to kill off Rin when the voices were telling her to let go. I was really going to do it, but I decided against it. You guys would be really pissed off if I did huh? Haha, maybe I should have... *smiles evily*
Also that part with Sesshomaru talking to his dad actually took place, Thanks to the Sword of world conquest, I know exacally how that conversation went, well, thats exacally how it went except that Sesshomaru asked for the Sou'unga sword as well as the Tetsusaiga.
