Healing A Broken Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters Accept Satara. All rights are to the proper creator.

Also Rin is 18 years old an adult she is no longer a child in this story.

Rin Stood framed under the moons full glow. Ebony strands whipped into her beautiful features. Tears trickled from corners of violet eyes. Never before in her entire life had she expected the betrayal from her beloved Lord Sesshomaru. She had followed him from the moment he had saved her. He had taken her under his wing as his ward.

“Rin” Sesshomaru’s cold voice drifted across the castle grounds. “You will stop this foolish behavior and return to the dinning hall” The ice prince himself stood only a few feet away. Golden eyes piercing through the night focusing on his crying ward.

Swallowing the lump that wedged in her throat Rin forced herself to nod. “Yes Lord Sesshomaru-san” Even after he had hurt her she still gave him the respect he deserved. Rin knew he’d not wait for her, his guests were far more important then the broken heart of a nigen female.
*********************************************************************

It had begun when Rin had been called to the dinning table, already seated many other yoke of high class sat. Rin’s seat was always next to Lord Sesshomaru, but something was wrong. Sitting in her place was the most beautiful of all Dog demons, next to Lord Sesshomaru himself of course. The female dog demon had marks of gray, sky-blue, and ruby red. An ebony pentacle star rested in the middle of her forehead. She came from clan that practiced and studied the magical arts. Her kind was a steady dying breed. Her armor was much like Sesshomaru’s accept far more femine in style and accents. Her eyes were a tarnished golden yellow, not nearly as vibrant as the Lords.

Moving in between the guests, servants offered plates of food for the yoaki that sat. Jaken also was present, he noticed Rin just standing in the entrance of the hall. Quickly he scurried forward, taking Rin by her elbow he ushered her past the other yoaki sitting her as far away from them as possible. Yes she was Sesshomaru’s ward but she still was only nigen in the gatherer’s eyes. As she Sat Rin was full of questions she wanted to blurt out, having been taught manners from the best tutor’s in all the lands she remained quiet. Her eyes dropping to rest on her lap, She was dressed in one of her favorite kimono’s, it’s coloring was a beautiful lavender with a royal purple sash. The combined colors made her violet eyes all the more vibrant. When food was brought before her she selected bread, meats, and cheese. Once she had taken her fill the servants quickly fled the dinning hall, there purpose have been done.

Sesshomaru watched as the servants left, once they were gone he rose slowly. When the great Lord of the Western lands rose it was like a plug had been pulled, silence fell over the entire gathered party. “I have invited you all here to witness my claim” He paused, turning his head motioning for the female yoaki next to him to rise. “I am to take a Mate”

Gasps escaped from some of the yoaki, other’s politely nodded. Rin was the only one that froze in her seat. Sesshomaru waited before he continued. “Now come forth to meet the future Lady of the Western Lands Satara”

Satara gazed from one yoaki to the next, her eyes skipping Rin completely. It was like the girl wasn’t even present at the announcement. A cool icy smile played over her lips. “Thank you everyone for being witness to this advent”

As Rin heard those words she rose, in her haste the chair she had been sitting in fell to the floor with a hard clatter. Not bothering to make an apology she fled, the tears already forming.

Satara frowned at the nigen girl’s rude display she said nothing. Until she was Sesshomaru’s mate in all ways she could not speak against his ward. Her frown deepened when Sesshomaru left the table after Rin. Changes would be made Rin would have to go!

After both Rin and Sesshomaru’s departure the gathered yoaki came forward to offer Satara there well wishes and the best of luck when it came to dealing with the Western Lord. Satara thanked them all with an icy smile and a simple cool nod.

Jaken meet Sesshomaru in the hall bowing so low his nose scraped the ground. “My Lord your guests await” He squawked.

Nodding Sesshomaru passed the groveling toad. “See Rin to her chambers. Her display was most unbecoming of my ward” He spoke as he walked past.

Breathing a sigh of relief at not being struck Jaken bowed yet again. “Yes Milord right away” He stood up right and realized he was talking to the air. Jaken just shook his head. “Foolish girl, she should’ve known she could never be Sesshomaru-san’s chosen one. She’s only a nigen” He spoke to himself as he waddled his short fat body towards the garden to gather Rin.

Having finally calmed herself she was starting back to the castle, surprise played across her face as she met Jaken half way. “Lord Jaken what are you doing out here”

The entire way Jaken had been mumbling about how foolish Rin was, hearing the girl so close caused him to almost trip over his feet. “RIN!” Composing himself he frowned at the girl, he could see the marks left by the tears. “Sesshomaru told me to escort you to your chamber, he is highly disappointed in your behavior at the table tonight!”

Rin felt another stab to her heart, it seemed at each turn she did something wrong to upset her lord. “I see,” She murmured, dropping her eyes to the ground. “You don’t need to see me to my room Jaken, I can make it there myself” Sticking her nose up, she brushed past the toad walking proudly back into the castle. Her hurt would not go unpunished.

Jaken blinked at the girl’s behavior, turning he started after her. “Rin you will go to your room this instant I will not get in trouble for you not listening to a direct Order!”

Ignoring Jaken’s comments she entered the hall, walking steadily towards the dinning room. Stopping in the entrance she glanced around to the chattering Yoaki. Sesshomaru was the only one not speaking, he was watching over the whole procedure with an unblinking expression. Storming in, Rin passed the different Yoaki.

She did not stop until she reached the chair where Satara sat. “You may think im nothing but a worthless human” She paused, knowing her next words would probably get her in deep trouble. “But you know Satara I’d rather be human then be a stinking bitch in heat” There the words were out before she could even stop them.

“Rin” Sesshomaru spoke first, his emotionless mask never slipping. Inside he was seething that his ward would dare come forward and insult his chosen mate in such a fashion.

Unlike Sesshomaru Satara did not remain as calm, her pupils seemed to enlarge until her eyes were a jet black. “You dare speak to me in such a fashion” She stood, towering over the smaller female. “Do you have any idea who I am? I sat here quietly while you fled this special occasion like a spoiled child. I said nothing, but now you have chosen to insult me?” Her voice cracked like thunder. “I am one of the most powerful Yoaki in my clan, foolish girl you have made your last mistake”

One hand rose, the strange pentacle mark on Satara’s head began to glow. “Feel my wraith girl!” Sesshomaru saw Satara’s hand rise, before he could stop her the hand dropped. A bolt of black lighting struck Rin in the chest sending her flying across the room to hit the brick wall with a hard snap of bones breaking. Pain it was all Rin felt she lay where she had slumped. Her breathing ragged, something had broken inside her body. A thin trickle of blood dripped steadily from her slightly parted lips.

Satara gave a pleased smile, eyes fading back to there normal yellow. She cared not if the girl lived or died, with the impact against the wall Rin would most likely die.

Sesshomaru was not pleased, he moved past Satara kneeling to carefully gather Rin up into his powerful arms. Glancing back his eyes were a faint pink. “When I return I want all of you to be gone, accept for you Satara we have much to discuss” His yoaki cloud formed under his feet, lifting him up before he flew out the window.

He knew he could not revive Rin a second time if she died, he knew of only one person that had the capacity to heal the broken girl. His half brothers mate Kagome, after they defeated Naraku he and Inuyasha had came to a rough truth’s. Now he only hoped that Kagome had not disappeared to her own time through the strange well in which she traveled from this world to the next. She was Rin’s only chance.
*****

In the forest clearing at the bone eaters well Kagome stood furiously glaring at the half dog demon that blocked the well from her path. “Inuyasha you agreed with me that before Sango and Miroko get married that I could go back to my own time to get the wedding gift!”

Inuyasha made his trademark feh sound, frowning now at Kagome. “I don’t want you to be gone so long Kagome. Last time you said you’d only be gone for three days and those three days turned into almost a week!”

Kagome stomped one foot into the ground, frowning angrily at Inuyasha. “Well I had to make up my final’s or I’d have never graduated high school. With all the jewel gathering then fighting Naraku it was nearly impossible for me to pass those classes!” She screamed back at him.

“Well wench if you hadn’t shattered the jewel in the first place none of this would’ve ever happened!” Inuyasha threw back. He realized his mistake when he saw Kagome’s features change.

“Inuyasha” She said it so sweetly. “SIT BOY! SIT SIT SIT!”

The prayer beads that Inuyasha wore around his neck suddenly lit up, yanking him off the edge of the well slamming him into the ground. It made a very lovely Inuyasha shaped crater.

Storming around the hole, she huffed looking down to the twitching hanyou’s form. “I told you Inuyasha that was an accident, also don’t ever call me a wench. My name is KAGOME not Wench, bitch or woman. It is Kagome!”

With out a backwards glance she moved to the well, jumping up onto the edge. “Now im going home. I’ll be back in a couple of days” Before she could jump into the well she felt the aura of a very powerful yoaki, it was coming fast. Pulling her bow from her shoulder she knocked an arrow and looked towards the skies.

“Sesshomaru!” She gasped, when the yoaki Lord came down.

“What do you want Sesshomaru” Inuyasha was finally pulling himself from the hole, shaking his head to clean the dirt off.

Ignoring his half brother’s stupidity he moved towards the miko. “You must help her” He kneeled lowering Rin to the ground, from the time it had taken him to travel to the bone eaters well Rin’s condition had grew steadily worse. He could smell death trying to steal her final breath away.

Kagome’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Rin quickly she rushed forward. Kneeling she placed her hands over the girl’s chest. Palms glowing with the warm pink healing light, Kagome started to frown before she pulled back. Shaking her head. “I can do nothing for her Sesshomaru..” She hesitated. “I can’t heal those that wish to die”

Sesshomaru just looked from Rin to Kagome. “Wish to die” He shook his head. “I do not understand”

Kagome stood, chewing on her bottom lip. “She wants to die Sesshomaru. My powers will not allow me to heal her. There is nothing I can do for her”

Inuyasha stared at Rin then looked towards his brother. “I’d not want to be healed either if I was this cold hearted bastard’s Ward”

Inuyasha barely got the words out when he was pinned to the tree, Sesshomaru’s blood red eyes glaring down into his own. Poison dripped from his claws. “I would watch your Tongue brother if you wish to keep it in that smart mouth of yours”

Kagome lifted one hand as she felt the Shikon Tama pulse around her neck, she had yet to make a wish on the jewel and rid the world of it. Slowly pulling it free she lowered it towards Rin’s body, as it drew closer it started to throb. Kagome did not understand what the jewel was telling her but she knew now was the time to make a wish.

“I wish Rin could take a shape that her heart desired..” Hardly had the words escaped Kagome’s mouth when the jewel lit the area up in a flash of brilliant white light. She was thrown back, arm flying to shield her eyes.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both gave identical yells of pain, there eyes more hyper sensitive so such blinding light.

As the light cleared Kagome stared at Rin gasping. One hand flying to cover her mouth, the jewel had done its job. Rin’s wish had been granted and now the Shikon Tama was gone from the world forever.

Inuyasha blinked rubbing at his eyes before he took would look towards Rin. His jaw dropped as he just gawked. Sesshomaru moved forward, eyes never living the prone figure of his ward. She had changed into something beautiful.

Rin’s eyes began to flutter, she remembered insulting Satara the flash of black then intense pain. Slowly she sat up, one hand rising to press to her forehead. Something pricked her skin, lowering her hand she stared at it confused. Her fingernails were claws, she had slashes of bright purple across her wrists. Looking up first at Sesshomaru then towards Kagome. “What did you do?”

Shaken beyond words, Kagome pulled a small mirror from her yellow bag. Handing it over to Rin she stepped back quickly.

Rin seized the mirror, staring into it. Lips parted as a scream tore from her throat. The sound echoed through the forest…..

The end of Chapter one. I do sincerely hope those that read this enjoyed it So Far. I decided to leave it in a cliff hanger….what is Rin Seeing in the mirror? Will she forgive Sesshomaru for breaking her heart? And what about Satara….Come back for the next chapter for answers to all of your questions.
