Chapter 10: New Discovery

 

Rin was scared, and didn't know how to react. She had been sprinting around the room, avoiding Sango's hirakoutsu (A/N: Gomen if I didn't spell it right!) for the past 15 minutes, and she was going to have to give up soon. She was tired, sweating, and completely unprepared for this to happen.

Nothing was making sense, and at this rate she barely had enough energy to breathe. Rin unwillingly sat down, and just as the boomerang went to hit her, a light blue light flared off her body and deflected Sango's attack.

 

What….in kami's name was THAT? Rin feels all tingly, and warm! Rin has never felt this way before…

 

Things suddenly came into place, and her eyes widened in awe.

 

This Rin…is a miko too? But how? Doushite?

 

“Yes, little one. You are a miko, like Kagome. I knew it the moment I'd seen you. Both you and Kagome are reincarnations of Kikyo, but your miko powers could very well be stronger than hers. I shall take you, and you will fight with me.”

 

“No! Rin won't let you use her against her friends! Out of complete instinct, a ball of blue light flamed from Rin and flew behind her to stop Sango's hiraktsu from hitting her again. Some of the ball of light knocked Sango down, and she became eerily still.

 

“Oh no...what has this Rin done? Is she alright?"

 

“She and your friends will be fine as long as you come with me. For the moment, all of them will be safe.”

 

Rin looked longingly towards her friends, and then looked at Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha who were currently frozen in their stance. Sango and Kagome were also frozen, laying on the floor as if they had never moved.

 

“This come with you, only because Rin knows they will come and save her soon afterwards. But before Rin goes `willingly' with you, explain this…place.”

 

“I have no obligation to explain anything to you, but I will for I am in a generous mood. It's the dream world, that I have created. When I have all the pieces of the Shikon No Tama, I'll turn the `real world' into this. With my immense power, I'll make everything go as I want it to. Not only that, but I will have supreme power over all that has ever lived, and all that shall ever live.

 

Come now, you have wasted enough of my time. As soon as we leave, everyone will wake up, and this will be nothing but a strange, vague memory in their minds.”

 

Rin's curiosity wasn't yet satisfied. One question kept gnawing inside her, and she wanted it answered.

 

“Why isn't Shippo here? What have you done to him?”

 

“Shippo didn't enter the dream world. He was already unconscious, so I didn't need to waste my almost limitless energy supply on doing this to him. Besides, although he is still young, he would probably have the easiest time, other than Sesshomaru, remembering the dream.”

 

She once again looked at her friends, and unwillingly walked over to his presence.

 

“This Rin goes only because…she loves Kagome and the others like family, and her life is worth less than all of theirs.”

 

“Wise choice. Let's go, shall we?”

 

Naraku cackled internally.

 

Either way, all of them will not only be killed, but by Rin! How ironic! She's coming with me to save their lives, and yet in the end, she will be the one to kill them!

 

He managed an evil smile which he hid from Rin, and lifted the powerful spell which made them look like they were in a different world. He wiped the clearing of all Rin's scent, so that their trail couldn't be followed. Without turning back, he brought Rin away before the spell completely faded away, blurring quickly back into the original setting.

------------------------------------

They woke up slowly, their heads feeling a little dizzy. From in the house, Kagome attempted to sit up, but was only met by extreme fatigue and a spinning head, so she immediately sat down. The oddest thing was that she felt exhausted, but what had she done? All she did was go into the house to see how Shippo and Rin were getting along, and then…

 

Kagme vaguely remembered the awkward flowers and the strage cave. As she sat, she tried hard to remember more, and prayed the rest would come to her soon. In the mean time, if she felt so horrible and did nothing, Shippo with his wound that was inflicted upon him, must be in great pain and confusion as well.

 

Without giving a thought about Rin, her where-abouts, or her pained body and fatigue, she ran over to her son, and cradled his head in her hands over her lap. He was much older, it was true, but to her he would always be the little and cute demon she had come to know. As she inspected his wound from before, surprisingly, it was gone, and there were no traces of it.

 

Was I unconscious for so long so that there was enough time for his wound to be completely healed? I know he heals quickly, but…something isn't right here! I can feel it. Although I can tell its been masked, there's a strange aura…

 

“Shippo, were you unconscious at any time? Other than when you fainted from blood loss?”

 

“This is the first time I woke up since that, but I feel strange. I had a weird dream, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was…I was alone, somewhere…no one was with me…”

 

Kagome knew right then she would have to check out with everyone else and see if the “dream” happened to them too. She managed to walk into the living room and collapse on the floor in a half-sitting half-laying down position, and asked everyone if they had an awkward dream.

 

She blanched when she saw her children sitting on the floor, arguing and talking as if nothing happened. Kagome decided it was best that she didn't ask her children about the dream, and instead, ask everyone else, but before she could, guess who piped in…

 

“My head hurts, and so do my arms. I feel like I have just finished a battle that lasted a thousand years!”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and then laughed.

 

“So much for you being strong and hard-headed. It seems that you DO have feelings! Congratulations!”

 

Inu Yasha went to get up and teach her a thing or two, but winced and decided it was best if he stayed on the floor.

 

Sesshomaru's eyes were blazing, and he looked pretty angry. He only had three words to say, and bit them out so harshly that it shocked everyone.

“Where is Rin?”

 

Sango and Miroku looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say. Something told them that everyone had the strange “dream”, and that they would discuss it more that night when the children were tucked away in their beds. Miroku went to say something doubtlessly stupid, but a death glare from Sango stopped him before he could quite get a word out.

 

“I…hadn't thought of her. I first ran here to check on Shippo and my other children…I….I'm so selfish…she's practically my sister and I didn't even think to see if she's alright. I wonder where she went? Maybe she woke up before we did, and went outside?”

 

Sesshomaru was already on his way outside before Kagome had barely started the sentence.

Wow, he must really care about her to show his emotions so strongly in the presence of all of us! When this is resolved, the two of us definitely need to talk later!

 

She smiled, and then realized this wasn't a happy time because Rin was missing. Her previous smile turned into a frown, and Inu Yasha had seen the feelings change from her face as they lay on the floor.

 

“Maybe she ran away from us to pick more of those stupid flowers in the nearby field and…”

 

Before he could say any more on the subject of Rin, Kagome sent him a stare that made his blood run cold. He realized this was a very serious time for Kagome, and joking wasn't a good idea, unless he wanted to get beaten to a pulp. He was suffering enough as it was, and unconsciously hung his head in sadness.

 

“She'll be okay. She's probably outside, anyway. Why don't you umm…go check on her?”

Kagome gave him a weird look, and he quickly continued with a lame excuse to stay inside.

 

“Someone has to…uhh…watch the kids! That's it, I'll watch them for you while you go outside!”

 

Without showing emotion on her face, she ran out to see if her sister was there. She loved her so much, and needed to see her face to be relieved.

 

Unfortunatly, she would not be graced with that feeling anytime soon.

------------------------------------

Sesshomaru had woken up, his head killing as if he had been pounded on the head with a bat several times, and his whole body stiff and sore. He hadn't done anything to exert himself, so it made him suspicious.

Maybe I sleep-walked, found Inu Yasha, and kicked his ass.

Suddenly, the smile that was soon to come out never did. He knew right away Rin wasn't there. Her scent wasn't anywhere around him, as it usually was, and this angered him.

As he got up off the floor, he had seen everyone around him. Sango and Miroku were on the floor sitting quite close together, Inu Yasha was just to his left, but Kagome was all the way on the other side of the room. The children weren't even in the room, doubtlessly upstairs playing some sort of “game”.

He knew Inu Yasha wasn't the cause of his pain, so what was? It didn't matter, all he needed to do was find Rin.

 

He could hear Kagome saying something along the lines of maybe Rin was outside, and he bolted out of the room, ignoring his pain to see if she was there.

 

The only thing remotely pleasant that greeted him was the sunset. It was a mix of colours, the clouds were a strange pink-blue, and the sky was a light blue. The sun itself was a blaze of gold and orange, its bright tones making everything around look like it shimmered.

 

The nervousness in his stomach wouldn't be calmed anytime soon, because he knew no matter how he tried, her scent would be found no where near here.

 

The only thing that made sense was that Naraku took her, but why would he? She wasn't powerful, was she?, and besides…Naraku's taking Rin would practically be begging for trouble. Naraku knew that Sesshomaru would have a fit over her being missing, and that bloodshed would be inevitable.

 

He sighed heavily, not knowing where to go or what to do.

 

The only place he could go would be back to his palace, and get his demon guards. It was time for them to do their training, and if Rin wasn't returned in 2 months, he would send out his forces to find and eliminate the vile hanyou known as Naraku.

 

Suddenly, a sound rustled behind him, although it was quiet, his ears picked up on it easily, and Kagome filled his senses unwantingly. Now that he thought about in, Kagome smelt a little like Rin, but Rin's scent, of course, was much more pleasant to him.

 

------------------------------------

 

She could tell Rin was no where in sight, and seeing Sesshomaru attempting to locate her scent was an awful sight.

 

Depression lined his face, but there was something else…a feeling as if he knew he wouldn't find her at the moment in time. His eyes were no longer red, but it was obvious he was pissed.

 

“Sesshomaru, you mustn't worry. It isn't going to do you any good by being angry, it'll just waste your energy. All of us must talk and rest, and then tomorrow we will set out to look for her, okay?”

 

Sesshomaru didn't even acknowledge her presence, and simply called to his magic cloud. He too, without looking back, rode away into the sunset, looking graceful and as if there wasn't a care in the world.

 

I must find her…she makes me complete, and I don't know what I'd do if she was gone forever…This stupid hanyou that thinks he can take her from me has just made his death wish!

 

------------------------------------

 

Far away from her family and friends, Rin stared out into the slowly setting in darkness and sighed. She knew that Sesshomaru would kill her later for doing this, if Naraku eventually didn't.

 

Oh kami, what is this Rin to do now? She's truly all alone in the world…

 

…I'm all alone…

…I have no family, friends or home…

 

…Maybe I'll be saved…

…Maybe this is just a daze…

 

…Stop the spinning thoughts in my head…

…Wake up and be in bed…

 

…Just so the dream isn't true…

…Just so I could wake up you…

Author's Note:

 

AHA! No cliffy this time…well, not really. I apologize for taking so long to post again. I know this chapter isn't very good, and I apologize again, but our school play has been taking up a lot of my time. Thankfully, the practices and performances are finally over, so hopefully I can go back to writing chapters a little more frequently. Thanks for your understand and support!

 

REVIEW NOTES: (from chapter 9, and new reviews of varied chapters)

 

lord fluffy's lady - Omg you are one of my biggest supporters, and every word you say really REALLY matters to me.

 

I never know when to put a lot of detail, and when not to. I know I probably put way too much detail in this one and made it slow, but I didn't want it to move too quickly, if you understand what I mean.

 

I want this fic to be around 20 chapters, and if I'm almost done, I can't be having the action/romance/drama happen too quickly.

 

I thank you for always listening to me, and giving me advice. Please keep reading my fic, and continually telling me that you think about it.

hm - Thank you for telling me that, but chances are, I won't get time to fix it. Soon, I'll be starting chapter 11, and then 12, and then so on.

Isabella - Awww, thank you so much for thinking my fic is so awesome. Actually, half the time I personally want to shoot myself because I tend not to edit my fics, so…I see a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. I apologize, because I don't like seeing errors in other fics I read, I' m such an unintended-hypocrit! Thanks for reading my fic, and continue to update!

deer boy - Gah! Don't tell me what happens in episodes!

Thanks for loving my story, and please keep reviewing!

foxykurisutaru - Muahaha, I hate cliffhangers when I read stories, especially the HUGE cliffhangers, like when someone gets hurt, or might die, or a romance happens…It kills me, lol.

I'd love to see what you like to read, but its just a minor suggestion. Thanks once again for your egearness, and I hope to hear more from you in the future!

 

imagine-me - Oh man…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to creep you out! That was not my intention. I'll take a look at your chapter 1 tonight, and send you my edited version, okay?
