Always And Forever ☆Book 2 Sequel to Secrets, Beauty and Bravery☆

Remember

The rain poured down as Bailey reached the broken gates to the abandoned palace she once thought of as home. Sesshomaru stood on the upper floor of the palace looking around as memories that had been buried deep within him sprang to the surface. Bailey swallowed thickly as she reached the door. Raising her hand she hesitantly tested the doorway. When her hand went inside without hitting a barrier she let out a relieved sigh. Stepping inside wrapping her arms around herself as the sound of Rin's little laugh emanated in her head. Tears streamed down her face as she got to the stairs. The last time she had walked on them was what should of been her and Sesshomaru's wedding day. Walking up the stairs she turned towards Rin's room. The scent was no longer there. She looked around at the room seeing that it remained untouched. Everything the way she remembered. Closing the door she walked to her room and took a deep breath before walking inside. Opening the door Jaken and Sesshomaru's scent filled her nose. "I know you're here. I can smell you both." Bailey said. She stared as Sesshomaru and Jaken came out of where they were staying hidden.

"Is she dead?" Bailey asked tears still streaming down her face. Sesshomaru just stared at her trying to process the situation. "How are you here?" He asked not even hearing her question. Bailey narrowed her eyes at him. "Is Rin dead?!" She asked in a serious voice glaring at him. Sesshomaru glared back. "I saw you burst into flames. Your ashes scattered throughout that palace courtyard. How are you here after all this time?" Sesshomaru asked his voice like venom making Jaken take a few steps back. Bailey gritted her teeth scoffing at Sesshomaru. "None of your concern why I'm back. We're done here." Bailey said turning and walking out of the room and using her super speed to get down the stairs and into the courtyard. Sesshomaru jumped down in front of her. "If you would like to see her come with me." Sesshomaru said his voice soft and low. Bailey nodded. Sesshomaru stepped forward wrapping an arm around Bailey's waist. With Bailey frowning at him he took off flying. "Are you serious! We could've walked!" Bailey yelled gripped his haori for dear life. Sesshomaru gritted his teeth as her voice echoed inside his head. Landing Sesshomaru gently put her on the ground and released her. Bailey opening one eyes to make sure they were on the ground. Standing up straight and looking around she turned to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru signaled her to follow him and he entered the tree. "What just happened?" Bailey said to herself. "Come this way Bailey." Jaken said catching her attention. She looked down at him and nodded. Walking into the tree everything was darker inside except the ground and a blue pillar of light. Walking up Bailey saw the tree of life spirit looking up into the pillar of light.

Bailey's eyes followed the trees line of sight. Her eyes widened when she landed on Rin suspended in the air inside of the pillar of light. "Rin!" Bailey said walking up to it.

Bailey stood next to Sesshomaru and looked at Rin. She had grown into a beautiful woman. "Why is she like this?" Bailey asked with tears of relief and worry in her eyes. "It is to keep her safe. She is not aging in here. She is linked with a demon by the name of Zero. Much like how you were linked to Michael and Worick all those years ago." He explained. Worry filled Bailey to the rim. Walking back outside Bailey sat on the ground. Sesshomaru sat next to her looking at her. "I searched for ways to being you back for a few years but was unable to find a way. Having you here now is more than frustrating. I ended up taking Rin as my wife many years after I had stop my search." Bailey looked at him then looked away.

"You dont need to explain anything. But you should know. I was there that day when you told Rin that she would be living in the village with Kagome and Inuyasha. I was there when you said goodbye." Sesshomaru's eyes widened knowing that she was dead when all that took place. "It was enough for me. I ended up finding peace which a week ago I woke up where I had died and made my way to the village." She said still not looking at him. "I knew before seeing you about you and Rin." She said looking at him. "How?" Sesshomaru asked now confused. "I met your daughters. One of them has hair as black as Rin's. I actually had mistaken her for Rin not knowing how much time had passed." Bailey said with a small laugh. "The other has your white hair." She smiled lowering her head. "Setsuna and Towa." Sesshomaru said. Bailey nodded looking at Sesshomaru and then as she turned away her face fell into a frown. "It was good to see you. But now I have a task that I must complete." Bailey said getting to her feet. "What is your task?" Sesshomaru asked. Bailey smiled. "Dont worry about it. You have more important things to deal with. Goodbye Sesshomaru." Bailey said disappearing from sight. Sesshomaru stood to his feet still looking in the direction Bailey had disappeared in. His chest tightened as he turned and walked back into the tree. Bailey got as far away as whe could. Her face void of emotion as she walked along the path back to the village. She was determined to protect those children and find this Kirinmaru and kill him. Also on her agenda was to find Zero and make her to break the link between her and Rin. Bailey mind filled with thoughts and mixed with memories from the past. She would soon be back to the village and the first thing on her list was she would make sure to find this beast king and kill him
