Edge
of Heaven
By Devon Masterson-Bond
Level Seven

�Why do I always have to keep watch over that infernal
human female,� Jakken sighed as he made his way to the courtyard to find Rin.
The girl had run off again doing who knows what and his master was interested
in her whereabouts. The imp could never figure out what about the human girl
made his master play guardian to her over the last two years. He even felt so
bold to ask Lord Sesshomoru why did he have to put up with the annoying child. Her
remembered cowering and thinking that it was a bad idea to question his lord
and that he was about to be punished for his impudence, when Sesshomoru merely
answered.
�I did not go through the trouble of saving her life so
that some other could take it. Rin�s fate is bound to me and for me to decide,�
he replied firmly. �Now see to her whereabouts and stay with her until I summon
you.�
�Yes, Lord Sesshomoru,� Jakken replied. He hesitated before darting off and
looking for the child. There was something puzzling about his master�s request
that made his suspicious, but he was not worried. If there had been trouble,
Lord Sesshomoru would have told him and he would gladly fight by his side. No
one could defeat his master. Now all he had to do was find the meddlesome human
female and keep her out of trouble until they were summoned.
He continued to search in a patch of forest that Rin
seemed to always gravitate to and began to call out to her. There was no
response and his annoyance for the girl increased. She was probably hiding. It
was some sick game she liked to play called �hide-n-seek.� The girl was always
playing it, making his task of keeping an eye on her all the more difficult. He
searched onward trying to not to let the human get the best of him. His mind
drifted back to the manor. What was Lord Sesshomoru up to? He seemed intent
that he go and not come back. This was extremely odd. There were very few times
that Lord Sesshomoru asked him to watch over Rin and that usually meant that
there was something personal that he felt he needed to go through. Golden eyes
widened in surprise then narrowed wickedly�a female. Lord Sesshormoru was
getting on in age. He was well past the age to mate and produce an heir. With
their quest for the master�s father�s tomb over with, there was no real reason
for him to put his life on hold and he could concentrate on ruling the Western
lands. Lord Sesshormoru could get rid of the bothersome female. �This is perfect!�
�What are you doing Jakken?� Rin asked as she watched the
imp run out of the woods, jump into the air, and dance jig. He was always so
funny.
�what I do is of no consequence, girl,� Jakken snapped as
though his good mood had been ruined all of a sudden. At least he had found
her, now they had to wait.
Rin shrugged and stood holding a ringlet of wildflowers.
�It�s time to go back now,� she smiled.
�Lord Sesshormoru said we are to stay here until he calls
for us,� Jakken replied.
�Okay.� She sat down and started another ringlet of
flowers.
Jakken smiled. That was good thing about the girl, she
never questioned the master and followed his orders to the letter. It was good
to know that she would not be giving him any trouble this time. She would just
sit there doing whatever she was doing. �What are you doing, girl?�
�I�m making a crown for Lord Sesshormoru,� she answered
smiling. �I am going to marry him when I grow up and then we�ll be together
forever.�
Jakken�s beady amber eyes widened in shock just before he
fell to the ground in laughter. He had never heard something so absurd in his
life. Lord Sesshomoru marry a human female?? �That is ridiculous,� he laughed,
�Lord Sesshormoru would never soil himself with a human.�
Rin�s dreamy look saddened as her face fell. Her eyes
misted with tears. �It�s not funny. I will marry Lord Sesshomoru. I�� her
sentence trailed as Jakken continued to laugh. When the first few tears
trickled down her cheek, she did something that she had never done before,
violate Lord Sesshomoru�s orders. She jumped to her feet and ran away. She had to
get to him and find out what he thought. Jakken could not be right. He was
wrong�he had to be wrong.
Beady amber orbs widened. She was going to ruin the mood
that the master was in if she interrupted his mating. There was would be hell
to pay�but then he would be rid of the girl. There was something wrong about
shat as well. The joy he at first with the thoughts of her leaving fleeted.
Lord Sesshormoru might kill her for impudence. �Where are you going?� Jakken
called after her.
Rin said nothing only ran faster and faster. It was not
long before she was out of the forest and near the grounds. She had to know�she
needed to know. She ran all the way to Sesshormoru�s study then paused for a
second. She was going to be in big trouble for disobeying, but she had already
decided it was worth it. �Lord Sesshomoru?� she called as she walked into the
study. There was nothing. None of the servants he acquired over the years, no
sound, no smell�absolutely nothingness. �Something�s wrong.�
�Girl, have you lost your mind? Lord Sess..� Jakken�s
sentence trailed as he took in the emptiness of the estate. He held his staff
tightly. Lord Sesshomoru didn�t want to be alone to be with a female, there was
something else. How could he have been so stupid?
�Where is he?� Rin asked eyes beginning to mist. Did he
abandon them?
�He must be battling,� Jakken replied, �but why did he
leave me behind?�
Tears flowed down Rin�s cheeks. She was alone again. Why
did he leave her? Depressions settled over her heart then pain quickly filled
it. She clutched her kimono and fell to her knees. �He�s dying,� she said her
voice while struggling for air. She turned and
reached for Jakken, but he was writhing on the floor in pain. �We have
to� help him�� She fell to the floor. �Lord Sesshomoru��

�NO!!!�
a woman screamed as she sat up in bed. She hugged herself tight as she harsh
breathing started to regulate. Foot steps from down the hall move towards her
and she tried to shake it off.
Shi
opened the door and moved to her side. �Rin, are you okay?�
�Yes,
it�s just�it�s been awhile since I had a nightmare,� she answered.
Shi
nodded sadly. She had started having them again when they broke up. He knew
that would happen, that�s why he insisted they still room together despite
their new single status. It was hard at first, but it seemed to be working out.
There was still awkward at times, but he had to keep an eye on her. She was his
only direct link to the past and she was alone in the world too. Shi pulled Rin
into his arms and held her. �Maybe this will help.�
Rin
basked in his embrace. It was comforting, but not quite right. She always knew
that. Ever since she woke up in that
tomb and Shi found her, she felt like she was missing a part of her. Only her
nightmares linked her to the past�but not well. The name Sesshomoru always
remained in her mind. The ghost of her nightmares led to their break up in the
first place. She just could not lead Shi on any longer. She cared for him too
much. She had too many secrets and he had secrets too. She could tell there was
a heavy burden on his back that he refused to share. It was because of the
burden that they never quite connected except physically. Rin was confident in
their decision to remain as friends. �Thanks,� she replied. She pulled away
then chuckled. �You shouldn�t barge into my room. I could have been
entertaining.�
Shi
raised a coppery eyebrow. �It�s nice that your sense of humor is back.�
Rin
narrowed her eyes and hit him with her pillow. She did feel better. Shi was
always good to help ease her mind and forget. She moved towards him and kissed
him sweetly. �Would you do me a favor?�
*. *
Shi
closed Rin�s door sometime later, she was finally resting peacefully. He sighed
as he leaned against it. Being a friend with benefits was eating away at him.
He still loved her, but her heart still belonged to Sesshormoru. There was no
way he could compete with that and then there were his secrets. He would have
to tell her some of them sooner or later, but he couldn�t bring himself to do
it. �She would probably go off searching
for Sesshomoru�s reincarnation and I�d never see her again.� He walked down
the hall.
He
started for the living room when he heard his cell phone ringing in his room.
Another sigh escaped him. It was either one of his students or a wrong number.
The only other person who would ever call him was sleeping peacefully�finally.
He reached for the phone not recognizing the number right away. �Shi Kitsune,�
he answered into the phone.
�Shi,
this is Kirby. I need you to come to Higurashi Shrine immediately. It�s on
the��
�Kirby,
what are you doing there?� Shi asked coolly. He had his suspicions but he did
not want to give anything away. He had first come across the shrine when he
found Rin years ago. He had hoped that he would find Kagome there, but all he
found was a middle aged man and a teenaged boy. That was thirty years ago,
perhaps he had come too soon. Of course that did not explain why Kirby was
calling him from there.
�This
is where I have been coming to purify myself and get rid of the dreams.� Kirby
paused. �Does the name Kagome mean anything to you?�
Shi�s
breath caught in his throat. He had been right just too early. This was moving
much faster than he would have liked, but then that�s how it always was with
his old friends. Shi stole a glance towards Rin�s room. �I will be there in ten
minutes.� He hung up the phone.
At
the shrine, Kirby hung up the phone as
well then turned towards the rest of the group. �He�s on his way.�
�I
still think this is waste of time,� Richard snapped. �I just want to know ��
�Calm
yourself, dear brother,� Kirby sighed. He sat down in the chair as wave of
dizziness came over him. He had been having more of those types of spells as
well. It was almost like he losing himself. He scratched the palm of his hand absently.
�When Shi gets here then we all have some answers, including why you have been
holding out on me.� Richard glare at his twin but uncharacteristically said
nothing
Kelli
nodded her head. �It seems like we�ve all been drawn here for some reason.�
�And
soon we will find out why,� Kirby added.
Kagome
sighed inwardly as she looked around the room. With each passing moment she
couldn�t help but feel excitement. She knew she should not get her hopes up but
she could not help it. �They�re all
okay�� she thought. �Now we just have
to sort everything out.�

To be continued�
