3 months have passed since Rin was crushed by one of Naraku's demons who was slain by Sesshomaru and nothing much has changed. Naraku was not yet dead and Sesshomaru still seeks revenge on Naraku.

Hm? Where am I? Its so dark!, why is it so dark? I was just playing with the other children until I fell down a very narrow wedge.

HELLO...CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?

Not a sound was replying to the ghostly child.

Huh, what is that, it's so bright?

The young child stood up and started walking towards it and felt as though with each step she took the more it got brighter with pulsing sounds coming from it. She got to the bright light and it got smaller, so small that she could grasp it with her little hand.

Wow, this must be a...

She was cut off when she passed out...

"AAAHHHHHH LORD SESSHOAMRU" the little girl screamed from beneath the cold rocky dirt. Lucky the shock of her body was strong enough for her to break out to breathe the fresh air of life once more. She flickers and startled as if she was stuck in time, all she could remember was that she was being crushed by a large demon and the sight of Sesshomaru fighting many demons and that was it she blacked out.

LLLoooord se...Her voice was horse she couldn't speak properly, it hurt. She looked around to see if anyone was around but it was too dark and that's when she realized that she was on her own.

Lor...cough, cough

She started to make her way into the forest in search for her Lord but before she could go any further she stumbled upon what she thought might be ember and when she thought of a possible presence near her she fainted into a sleep.

Wh..where... her voice still hurts but she can just bearly speak enough for people to understand what she is saying

Do not get up, you must rest, your body is in very bad shape...

Rin heard a young woman's voice that sounded very smooth, she hasn't heard a voice like this for a long time, she didn't feel threatened but calm, so she listened and just laid there knowing the limits to her body and now wasn't time for her spirit to do as she wants.

You are the little human girl who follows Lord Sesshomaru, am I correct?

Rin couldn't speak so she just nodded to whatever questions the young woman asked

Does he know of your whereabouts?

She faintly shook her head as to say no

Here have some of this herbal medicine, it will help motivate your body and allow your throat to heal faster, but still rest is very important, you mustn't move for a while.

The young woman saw the young child gripping on to something in her hand.

A sunflower? The young woman asked. She dare not to try and take it away as she knew that it was precious to the young girl. After drinking the herbal medicine she fell back to sleep.

Kocho, Asuka wait here and watch over her, I will be back soon.

Yes Lady Kikyo

*Sniff sniff

Hm? Kikyo?

HEY KIKYO! What are you doing around here?

I am collecting herbs

Is somebody hurt or something

It is not of your concern, I am leaving...

Wait Lady Kikyo we are just very curious to why you are collecting herbs and so easily to be found, especially when Naraku wants you dead, the young monk said with curiosity

This is for Rin

RIN! but isn't she dead, they all said out loud of course differently

Hold on a minute...Inuyasha ruffling threw his clothing and hair looking for something

Mioga...didn't you say that Rin got killed by some demon Naraku sent out, Inuyasha annoyed and felt the need to squish him between his thumb and index finger

AH ah yes, yes she did I swear it Master Inuyasha

I wonder how she is alive, Sango asked with Kirara peeking over her right shoulder

Sacred jewel shard, Kagome stated

WHAT WHERE, Inuyasha lashes out his sword, ready to attack

Yes that is correct, Rin has a sacred jewel embedded in her body

But Lady Kikyo, how is that possible? Miroku asked once more

I am uncertain to how she has come across her and while she was dead none the least, but I was hoping to find out more when she wakes up

Do you mind if we come along Kikyo, Kagome asked

Follow me this way, Kikyo said as she was leading them

Lady Kikyo look Asuka said after she had returned, it seems she is rejecting the jewel shard Kocho added on

She has the utmost courage of trying to stay alive without the power of the jewel, that had brought her to life in the first place, she has a strong will

Will she be alright, Kagome asked in panic

I'm not sure, but it most cases if she keeps rejecting the jewel she will eventually die again. But than again maybe she might be able to survive

That's right she might, I did after all, Sango said sadly but in another way encouraging. But than again I wasn't dead for as long as Rin, my body was still warm and that allowed my body to use its own strength and the hatred I had for Inuyasha who I thought killed everybody that I loved

No I don't think she will die, Inuyasha said out of no where

How nice of you Inuyasha, Miroku said patting him on the back

Nah I'm just saying if she was tough enough to stay beside Sesshomaru than she can pull through this

Hic oh no, Kagome shocked

What is it Kagome, Sango asked

Sesshomaru, we've got to tell him that Rin is alive

HUH like I'm going to find him, he will be far gone by now trying to get revenge on Naraku

Mmm uh... the sound of a child slowly waking up

Shhh Inuyasha she is waking up

Lord Sesshomaru? WHERE IS LORD SESSHOMARU?! As she risen up fast the jewel left her body and fell to the floor

The jewel, it fell out of her body? How strange! Kikyo thought to herself
