Chapter 8: Visiting Friends&Enjoy The Show?

Kagome and Inu Yasha were down each other's throats, yet again. Kagome was yelling at Inu Yasha because he wasn't properly looking after their children, and giving her a hard time when she's sick. Inu Yasha was yelling at Kagome because she wasn't staying in bed, and didn't trust him enough to look after their children by himself.

"SIT BOY!" She yelled, at her peak of frustration and loss of patience.

"Ima Yameru!Damare!" he shouted at her from the 4 foot hole.

"NO, how about YOU shut up for once! Bakayarou! SIT BOY!" At this second yell of "sit", she put him in an 8 foot hole.

Poor Inu Yasha simply let his body relax, kept his face in the dirt, and decided not to move. He wasn't stupid enough to yell back at her, the last thing he wanted was to be "sat" for a third time in less than a minute. He would yell at Kagome later, when she was in a better mood.

"Chikusho" he muttered, knowing that she wouldn't hear him, letting out some of his frustration.

Just as Kagome was about to walk back inside, she could sense a demon's presence. Automatically, to protect her family, her pink aura glowed around her body and her home. For the past few years, an older, "master" miko, named Anna (A/N: not an original character) had been training her, and showing her how to use her powers. Not meaning to brag, but Kagome had almost completely mastered the art of using the miko powers, in a much shorter time than it usually took. Although, there really was no way to completely "master" using miko powers, because Kagome knew you could always gain more inner strength, she always knew what she was doing.

Getting her mind off of the pleasent old miko, she grabbed her bow from the her resting place on her back, and pulled out an arrow, aiming at what would be soon approaching from the skies. Immediately seeing the flying creatures in the air and recognizing them, her whole body relaxed, making the pink barrier dissipate, seeing that it was only Sesshomaru and Rin.

In fact, Kagome jumped up and down, yelling and screaming in happiness at the top of her lungs, while they were still high up in the sky,

"Rinnnnn! You finally came to visit ussss! Its so nice to see youuuuu!"

Rin started to wave madly the second she saw Kagome, and at doing this, she somehow managed to get out of Sesshomaru's grasp, and began to fall from the sky, faster and closer to the ground.

"KAMIIIII! SAVE THIS RINNN! PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE RINNNN!"

Kagome's face paled as white as snow, seeing her friend falling freely from the sky, and knowing that if something wasn't done, she would be dead in a few seconds flat.

Sesshomaru's quick reflexes noticing her presence out of his arms made him and his magic cloud swoop down easily and catch her, with lots of time to spare.

Rin's breathing was heavy and laboured. She wasn't expecting to fall, and was, freaked out of her mind. It was scary, and horrible, and unexpected, but...she loved the way her body flew freely through the air, and the wind blowing her kimono all over the place. It was exhilerating, exciting, and she would definatly do it again, but only if Sesshomaru would save her once more, as he just did.

For some reason Sesshomaru's heart was beating just as fast as hers, he managed to observe.

Why is this Sesshomaru so worried about Rin anyway? She's just a human...she's always getting herself into trouble...

At about 5 feet in the air from the ground, Rin jumped down from the cloud, only to be assaulted by Kagome and Inu Yasha's three children: Sara, who is 3, quite shy, and overly-quiet; Reiku who is a twin to when Rin was her age, and is 9; and the only son (for now) in the family, Kai, who looked so devestatingly like his father, except for the dark blue eyes he aquired from his mother, aged 7. Kai was often teased by his older sister Reiku, but he didn't care, because she was only playing around; it was her nature to. Well, on the other hand, Shippo could also be considered a son, and in Kagome's eyes would always be her son.

Kagome giggeled, and then began to laugh out loud at Shippo's stunned face. The poor thing was so worried he couldn't have even moved even if you told him his life was on the line.

"Warawa nai, Kagome!" Despite her saying to stop laughing, Rin couldn't surpress her smile and ended up giggeling along with Kagome.

Shippo had grown a lot since Rin had last seen him. Now he was much taller, and to say the least, a lot more handsome. He looked...so much different...older, smarter, but still smiled as much as he had a few years ago. He was a little older than Rin, but not by much. Rin had the gall to believe she had never met him before, so when she saw him, ended up asking,

"Konbanwa! Watashi no namae wa desu Rin! Anata-no namae wa?" Shippo was depressed at the fact that she didn't remember him.

Had he really changed that much since she had last seen him? Apparently so.

"So, you've forgotten me so quickly?"

Rin's face paled at the instant recognition of his voice although it was altered, a lot deeper and smoother. Her eyes surely at that moment plead for forgiveness at her horrible memory.

Shippo couldn't stop a laugh vibrating off his body, and as he laughed stared into her shining eyes, completely mesmorized by her beauty.

"Matte...Masaka! You've changed so much...this Rin...

(and then she whispered, making sure only he heard)

didn't even recognize you...gomen nasai, gomen ne..." Rin blushed profusely, and ran to him in an embrace, with the 3 children still holding onto her sides as she ran.

Sesshomaru watched from where he stood and felt instant jellously flood through his body, but reminded himself she wasn't his. She could do as she wished, and it didn't matter to him, right?

Scowling, he stared at the little demon that wasn't so little anymore, and watched his smile broaden as Rin hugged him.

"I haven't seen you in so long! Its good we finally got to see one another, we'll have plenty of time to catch up!"

Kagome saw the spark of interest in Rin's eyes at seeing Shippo once more, and inwardly smiled. Perhaps where would be something there for the two of them afterall...Shippo was her son, and she wouldn't mind Rin got together with him. Kagome on the other hand also noticed Sesshomaru's scowl, which everyone else seemingly missed, and her lips pouted slightly.

I know he cares for Rin, but he wishes to show his emotions so easily? I mean, he must be so jellous right now that she's hugging Shippo, and talking to him. He must feel so ignored! Its about time he was ignored! Look at all the times he's ignored her in the past...good job Rin! Ignore him!!! (although you don't know you're doing it) Make him crawl to youfor a change!

"Okay everyone! Let's go inside! Sara, Reiku, and Kai let go of Rin this instant! She wants to spend some time with Shippo at the moment, to catch up on things. Have any of you eaten anything yet today my dears? Its still early, but I'd like some food in your tummys so you can run outside and have lots of energy!"

That was Kagome, always smart, practical, and worried about her children, but not too much to smother them.

"Hai, Ogaa-san! This Reiku will get Otou-san make the three of us some food right now!" and the little ones ran into the house.

"Come right on in you guys! Don't wait for an invitation, look at our home as your own! Rin, you should know that! Rin...?"

Rin snapped out of her deep conversation with Shippo, and the two of them blushed, not hearing Kagome's words at all.

"Gomen nasai, Kagome-chan! This Rin didn't hear inside, yes, this Rin heard that part! Rin and Shippo will be in the living room!"

Shippo and Rin dashed inside, as if there was a fire, and were running in to save the children and Inu Yasha.

"So, you're jellous. Its cute, really cute. If you like her so much, you should let her know. Rin seems to like him quite the little bit, and you noticed right away. Look at that scowl you had just a minute before! Its not like you to show those emotions! Heaven forbid if we thought you wern't some cold-hearted 'thing'."

Kagome continued her rant, not caring that he turned away from her as she spoke; she knew he was listening.

"I know you aren't what you try to act like. You are just like the rest of us; the only difference being you have those emotions running deep inside you, and don't let them show, like everyone else does. You should let them out sometimes, its unhealthy to keep emotions cooped up inside for too long.

Maybe that's you're always so emotionless! You're hiding all your emotions inside your body...and eventually there will be no more room to put them! They will pour out of you, in a long stream, from never-crying, smiling, or letting out anger. I feel sorry for the poor soul that will be near you when you explode. I hope that after your 'explosion' you will learn that this is not the way to carry out life, hiding everything from everyone. You will learn, you will see, I give you my word on that!"

Kagome couldn't help a smile at his slightly bewildered face, and turned to go inside, absentmindedly calling over her shoulder,

"Coming?"

He didn't bother replying, and reluctantly walked into the house a few metres behind Kagome.

Rin was sitting down on the couch fairly close to Shippo, seemingly in an interesting conversation with him, not noticing his entering the room.

"Its true he's usually really cold, but...this Rin knows he has a sweet side, and she intends to find out what it is! Ahhh..."

She smelt his delightful scent and shifted her body to face him, stopping what she was telling Shippo.

His nose was busy smelling something, and then his cold voice pierced the room.

"Everyone, we've got company!" Sesshomaru said calmly, before Inu Yasha could as he was running down the stairs.

Out of no where, thick, black clouds started filling the house, and instantly Kagome's body flared bright pink as a shield to protect everyone.

An evil laugh flowed around the space, and everyone knew it was Naraku.

"What do you want now? A beating? That would've been given whether you wanted it or not!"

Inu Yasha ran mindlessly out of the house, Miroku, Sango, and Sesshomaru closely behind. Inu Yasha unsheathed tetsaiga and began to swing wildly at Naraku, although he kept dodging his attacks. After realizing what was happening, Rin and Shippo ran out, telling Kagome to stay in and keep the barrier over her children to keep them all safe.

"Wind Scar!" He shouted, and attempted to target him, swing his sword through the swiriling tornados.

Naraku dodged the attack again, and released his poisonous insects so that Miroku wouldn't open his wind tunnel.

"I don't want anything except Rin. Surrender her to me, and none of you shall come to any harm."

"Rin? Why would you want Rin?" Inu Yasha stopped his attack to question his motives.

"My reasons for wanting her are of no concern to you. If you cannot see the reason why I want her, then you are weaker than I thought, and I have over-estimated your intelligence!"

Naraku took this moment to use one of his hidden tentacles to whip Inu Yasha into the tree across the clearning. He landed with a thump against the trunk using some growled curses, slowly getting to his feet and rubbing his now aching head.

Rin had seen everything thus far, and was in complete shock. She didn't know what to do, or what to say. Naraku wanted her?! But why?! This was such a surprise that she hadn't even noticed her mouth was open until Shippo used his hand to close it for her. Rin giggled and blushed being embarassed by looking like that in front of him, but got over it quickly as she saw another tentacle coming her way. Shippo immediately went in front of her, and took the blow in his upper-right chest. He fell down, and Rin was ready to cry at the sight. His blood was pouring out, and he was in great pain, she could feel it.

"Oh Shippo, doushite?" Tears streamed down her face at seeing him helpless on the ground, and she crouched down to be at his level.

"Do itashi mashite..." he managed to say before passing out.

His blood loss was rapid, and Rin angerly screamed out,

"SOMEBODY HELP HIM, for kami's sake! Get him inside, NOW! He needs medical attention. Sesshomaru, take him inside before he loses too much blood, you're the strongest one who isn't busy, so this Rin knows you can manage. Well, what are you waiting for?!"

Sesshomaru was about to yell at her for throwing orders at him! How DARE she? The worst part of it being it wasn't her first time for doing so. Seeing her tears was what did it for him, and he merely nodded his head uncertainly, and picked up Shippo to bring him inside.

"Everything will be alright. He is a demon, he will not die.

(calls over his shoulder from the home entrance)

Inu Yasha! If you let Naraku put one finger on Rin I shall see to it that you will regret ever knowing me."

Inu Yasha 'hmphed' at his brother, and continued his 'battle' with Naraku. It was obvious Naraku wasn't using his full strength, which was what made Inu Yasha wonder why he was a lot easier to beat than he thought.

Suddenly, Kagome ran out of the house with tears streaming down her face, going to embrace Rin who was also crying.

"He will be okay Rin! Oh Rin...onegai, don't cry? He will be okay, I know it. Shippo is a fighter, you know."

Kagome looked at Naraku and sighed heavily.

"Inu Yasha, (sighs aggrivatingly) its another puppet, for kami sakes, I can see the string! Hurry up and kill it. I doubt Naraku would show his real form out of no where, without Kagura and his other minions."

"I don't know why I didn't recognize before, afterall, I could feel he was weaker, but...I don't know...something isn't right."

The puppet all of a sudden went on fire, dissipating into ashes, and then there was no more movement. Inu Yasha walked over with extreme caution, and abruptly a sickly-green colour of smoke rose from the ashes, and spread out over the whole clearing.

Everyone outside was knocked out, except Rin, who was standing furthest back from the battle.

Strange things started going on in Rin's head. All her thoughts started to spin, and span faster and faster until they were all were mixed up. She fell to the ground, trying her best to stay conscious, but not succeeding.

"Wakaranai?" was all she managed to say, before dropping to the ground.

Something seemed to be pulling at her, and something echoed inside her head, telling her to let go, and sleep. It seemed all of her energy had been absorbed, and she had no choice but to fall under the command of the dark voice...

Weird images went through her mind while she was unconscious, but she hadn't seen these things before. It was so akward, because all of them involved her and Kagome, picking flowers in bizarre fields, and saying things to one another; but Rin knew these conversations had never taken place. It was very confusing, and she didn't know how to react. All she really could do was let the images flow from one to another, and "enjoy the show."
