Posef: Oh, ok then. :)

Recap:

'Oh, so I was pleasurable in her dream was I? Well, we'll have to find out if it's true in real life.' He thought as a lustful smile crept on his lips.

Now:

After Kagome and Rin finnished bathing and Sesshomaru left from his hiding spot behind a curtain, Kagome and Rin took a walk around the grounds. Kagome loved what the garden workers did to the place. Everything was perfectly trimmed and the colors of the flowers matched so well.

"Wow, Rin never knew there was a waterfall here!" Rin exlaimed as they neared a small water feature within the gardens.

Kagome laughed lightly so that she wouldn't insult the child. "Yes, I have always loved water features. My mother had me put one in the garden of our house when my father died. She said that she needed some change in scenery. She was so sad after my father died, I would have done anything to make her happy again." Kagome trailed off in thought as Rin expectantly stared at her surroget mother.

Kagome realized the child was watching her expectantly, not interrupting or begging for the story that was to follow. She smiled, picked the little girl up and walked her over to the bench next to the small waterfall.

As they sat down she began to explain to Rin, "You know, my parents loved eachother so much. My father was the type to come home early every once in a while to surprise his little girl." As she said this, Kagome pointed to herself and her eyes started to twinge. Her eyesight became a little blurry.

"He never trated us badly, of course he'd yell sometimes, but what else is a father supposed to do? I could tell that having a part of him in a whole seperate body made him so happy. He loved that he could help raise a child and maybe someday that child would be special. Can you imagine having that joy? Just to hold something that you helped to make and have your mate with you? My father sometimes cried when he played with me, just from being so happy. My mother would always laugh and say he was a big teady bear." Kagome's voice broke and Rin shifted next to her. Kagome took Rin into her arms and put her on her lap.

"Sometimes he'd make me angry but I was just a child and didn't know how to appreciate something I'd never had to live without.

"One day, he took me out hiking with him. We left my mother and little brother home. At the time, my little brother was only 2 years old." Kagome found it was getting easier to speak now. She felt like she was just relating a tale that was completely irrelevant to her. "We looked in this cave that was off of the trail, but I wanted to see the creepy crawlies that lived there. My father brought me in the cave, but he didn't see the sign outside that said it contained government tested bats. The people who ran the country at the time had been doing something to the bat population in my area. They made the bats angry and the bats craved human... human... fl..."

Kagome couldn't say what the bats craved but Rin whiped some tears away from Kagome's cheek and nodded as though she understood. Kagome couldn't imagine how a child could understand, but went on anyway, "And so when the bats attacked, he threw his coat over me and told me to get out. I waited for him outside of the cave but he never came out.

"My mom says that when she called the police, the people who protect ordinary people like me and you," Kagome clarified so the girl would understand. "She called the police and when they found me, I was laying down, asleep, outside of the cave. Apparently I'd been there for hours but my mother just thought my father took me out for icecream after the hike." Kagome started feeling a more powerful wave of tears behind her eyes and sighed, knowing they'd come full force in a few minutes.

Rin was crying and Kagome looked down with tears running down her face she didn't even know were there. Rin had her face in her hands and Kagome pulled them away, telling the girl to try to breath in and out normally. Rin tried and she calmed down some. Kagome's own tears were turning cold against the night air. She looked up and realized they were out there for more time than she thought.

"Well, I think that we should go inside, Lord Sesshomaru is probably wondering where we were for lunch. It was just 30 minutes ago." Kagome explained to Rin and whiped her tears away. She took the girl up onto her hip and carried the girl through a small door that must lead to a servant's hallway. She went through there and came out in the kitchens.

Kagome told the servants to get them some food and she and Rin walked out in the dining room to wait for the food. Kagome set Rin down on the floor, feeling very tired suddenly.

They found Sesshomaru sitting alone, half finnished with his meal and looking a little grumpy. But, when did Sesshomaru not look grumpy?

Kagome sucked in a breath of air to explain and found it came into her lungs with more force than she expected and somehow this triggered her to start crying again. Feeling so embarassed that she was sobbing in front of Sesshomaru and dissapointed for crying again in front of Rin, Kagome collapsed on the floor. Rin tried to rub Kagome's shoulder comfortingly, but this only made Kagome feel even more sad. She was lying down in a dining room, sobbing with the lord of the mannor in the room and a child comforting her.

She tried not to think of her father or the family she left behind, because face it, she just wasn't going back. She tried not to think of how embarassed she was, but that left nothing in her head she could think of. Her brain ran around and around in circles, trying to think of something and suddenly, just as she saw Sesshomaru bend down to pick her up, she lost conciousness.

Kagome woke up feeling terrible; her head hurt, her eyes were heavy, her heart was pounding in her chest and she didn't even want to know if she could move her arms or legs.

"Rin, tell me what you two were doing out there. Please, try to calm down. Look, don't look at her, look at me. What happened?" She heard Sesshomaru trying to sound encouraging but it was probably only scaring Rin.

Rin gave in a shuddering breath and sniffled a little before she started, "Well, we were just walking around for a while and then she started talking about her father. And... and her father was so nice. He loved her! He loved his family and then the bats got him and the go-feets found her outside of the cave and her mother was so sad and she was crying so hard and then we came inside and then she starting crying really hard again and then she just collapsed! Sesshomaru-sama, I'm so scared. Will she be ok?"

Sesshomaru sighed, but felt that he got as much as he could from Rin right now. "She's going to be fine. She was just stressed and she didn't eat much. She just needs to re-gain some energy." he said, in a very mono-tone voice.

Kagome was grateful that she could pretend to be asleep. But soon she drifted off again and she didn't have to pretend.
