Rin had been here before.
 
Hadn't she been here before?
 
She looked around warily.
 
The girl was standing in a rather pleasant area at the border of a lush forest. Birdsong drifted on the mild air, and the light was soft.
 
Hadn't those weird little demons brought her here? Where had they gone?
 
Wait . . . . . What about -
 
`Sesshomaru-Sama.'
 
It was only when she heard the sound of her own voice that she realised she'd called his name.
 
`Se . . . Sesshomaru-Sama!' she called, louder this time, whirling around. Frightened eyes flew around her surroundings - and alighted on nothing.
 
She was alone.
 
But - He had been there before!!
 
She faltered, her eyes flickering. H - Hadn't he?
 
She wasn't sure . . .
 
W-Why couldn't she remember . . .?
 
What was happening?
 
She lowered stricken brown eyes to the tamped earth beneath her feet. She couldn't remember properly . . . What . . .?
 
It was then that a sound caught her attention.
 
Water.
 
Rin lifted her head.
 
There.
 
She blinked in surprise.
 
Water.
 
A river.
 
The girl stared at the quietly flowing waterway. How . . . hadn't she noticed that before?
 
Or . . . that, her brain added, as she lifted bewildered brown eyes slowly upward, to gaze helplessly up the ornate red torii.
 
In front of her, there was a bridge.
 
Her mouth open, Rin stood and stared. She couldn't see the other side.
 
What . . . was she supposed to do? . . . Should she cross it?
 
Torn, she looked back over her shoulder at the trees and the slanting sunlight filtering down through the canopy. Sesshomaru-Sama wasn't there.
 
Maybe she'd find him if she crossed the bridge.
 
That was the thought that prompted her to step forward. Hesitating for only a moment, Rin passed beneath the tall gateway and padded onto the bridge. The worn wood was not unpleasant to walk on, but she was too confused to notice right then that her footfalls made no sound, whatsoever.
 
Rin worried at her lower lip as she walked, keeping her eyes fixed ahead but still unable to see the other end of the bridge. She didn't know where she was going . . . What if Sesshomaru-Sama wasn't even there?
 
She racked her brain, her eyebrows drawing together as her gaze fell to the wooden boards she walked upon. Where was he? She - She couldn't . . .
 
He had been there, hadn't he? She had been with him . . . She . . .
 
Wait.
 
Yes.
 
YES! She had! She had been there!!
 
Hadn't Jaken-Sama been there too . . .?
 
No . . . No, he hadn't . . . But what about AhUn?
 
. . . Yes! AhUn had been there!
 
. . . So . . . So had Lord Inuyasha . . .
 
Inuyasha-Sama had been there too! Yes! He had! Inuyasha-Sama and . . . and his friends!
 
Kagome-Sama! Yes, she was there! She was there with her bow and arrows!
 
And the Lord Monk, he was there! He was there with the little fox boy . . .
 
And the lady with the big cat demon. Yes! She was there with . . .
 
Kohaku.
 
Kohaku . . . had been there.
 
Yes . . . With that girl, the girl with that pretty white hair . . . And the mirror . . .
 
Wait . . . . . Hadn't the lady with the cat youkai been screaming . . .?
 
Rin's brow creased.
 
She . . . She had.
 
. . . So had Inuyasha-Sama . . . He had had that sword . . . He had been fighting . . .
 
S-So was the wolf man . . . Koga . . .
 
And . . . hadn't Koga - he'd been with his friends, hadn't he?
 
Yes . . . The other two . . . and the pretty wolf lady. She'd been bleeding . . .
 
They were fighting . . .
 
They were fighting that . . . that bad man . . .
 
The scary man . . .
 
Naraku.
 
She clutched at her throat without realising it.
 
She faintly registered she was shaking.
 
It seemed to be getting darker with every step she took . . .
 
She couldn't stop.
 
Rin was frightened.
 
They were fighting. They were ALL fighting . . .
 
What about Sesshomaru-Sama . . .
 
He . . . He had been there . . .
 
He was roaring.
 
He was roaring at her . . .
 
No, that wasn't right!
 
He was coming for her - he was coming really fast for her. But he was roaring at . . . at the bad man. Sesshomaru-Sama was roaring at Naraku.
 
And Naraku . . .
 
It was then that Rin realised she was covered in blood.
 
Her clothes were wet with blood. Her clothes were ripped and wet with blood. There was blood on her arms. There was blood on her feet. She could see it.
 
There was blood everywhere . . .
 
“RIN!!!”
 
“Sesshomaru-Sama!!!”
 
`SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!'
 
Rin stumbled. Rin fell.
 
There was blood on her hands.
 
No.
 
Please . . .
 
She didn't want to go . . .
 
` . . . I think that's far enough.'
 
A voice.
 
Someone was kneeling down in front of her.
 
Someone was petting her hair.
 
`Don't despair, little one.'
 
Rin looked up and met golden eyes.
 
He smiled at her.
