I have to be the most unusual woman in the world. Only I could have a secret admirer for eight years. Yes, you heard that right. Eight years of my life wondering who is the mysterious guy leaving me gifts every White Day. I have never given a guy a gift for Valentine's Day, but every year there's a White Day gift for me.
I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Rin Yoshida, and I'm only 22 years old. Actually, in a month I'll be 23, but I don't suppose I need to get that technical for you. In my short 22, almost 23 years, I have lived through too many things. When I was only eight years old my parents and 2 older brothers were all killed in a home invasion, and the only reason I was spared was due to the fact that I was staying overnight at a friend's slumber party. From there I was sent to live with an aunt who didn't pay much attention to me.
The State thought I was so intelligent they actually paid for me to go to school. It didn't really seem to matter much to them that I was left mute after the tragedy, but they kept insisting that some day I might be advisor to the Lord of the Western Lands. The Lord of the Western Lands they are talking about still hasn't taken his seat because his father occupies it. The future of the Western Lands happened to go to high school and college with me. And I have to admit that somehow they were all right because I actually do work for him now as one of his personal advisors in what he does to help his father,.
The funny thing about all of this is that Sesshomaru hates humans, of which I am one, but he has a human as one of his greatest personal advisers. He wasn't too receptive of it at first, but I'm guessing that I've either grown on him or he's faking it well for the sake of his father. Trust me, he's no picnic to work with either considering his sour attitude, but then again I do owe him my life because he saved me once before. I'll explain that whole story later.
What was I talking about earlier?...Oh, right. I was talking about my White Day Secret Admirer. The first time I ever received a white day gift was on the White Day of my first year of high school, which is 10th grade for those of you who don't know. I was still only 15 years old, and I was still mute. Because I was mute I was often ignored by the rest of my classmates. It also didn't help that I was one of only a few humans in the class.
But there it was when I walked into the classroom early that morning. Laying on my desk was a simple white flower. It appeared to be fresh picked, and the scent was heavenly. Looking around the room I found myself alone, and given the lack of a note attached to the gift I figured that whoever left it for me didn't want me to know who he was.
That didn't mean that I didn't try to figure it out. When you're mute it's difficult to ask around, but I kept an eye out for any gifts left for the other girls and who left them. By the end of the day I figured out that there were only a few guys in my class who didn't leave any gifts. Sesshomaru was one, and the other two guys were complete perverts who wouldn't have the time of day for me much less take the time to figure out that I adored flowers. No, they were the type of guys who went around trying to find ways of taking slutty pictures of the larger racked girls, of which I didn't have at the time. As you can tell I've filled out since high school.
So I did wonder for a couple of days if it could be Sesshomaru who left the flower for me. He was horribly quiet, so it was hard to tell if he could have done something like that. It didn't take me long to figure out that he was completely not my secret admirer because a week after I received my gift I overheard some guys talking to him about how they had noticed me always admiring this flower that was now pressed into one of my notebooks. The words that came out of his mouth will stick to me for the rest of my life, "Who would desire a pathetic human like Yashida?" From that day on I was determined to hate Sesshomaru for the rest of my life, but we obviously know how that turned out if I'm working for the guy now. But remember, I did mention that he once saved my life.
