I do not own Inuyasha

A/N Rin is narrating the italicized parts.

Ch. 1

Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, not far from New York, there was a very, very large mansion, almost a castle where there lived a family by the name of Larrabee. There were servants inside the mansion and servants outside the mansion. Boatman to tend the boats and six crews of gardeners. Two for the solarium and the rest for the grounds, and a tree surgeon on retainer. There were specialists for the indoor tennis courts and the outdoor tennis courts, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool, and over the garage there lived a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild, imported from England years ago, together with a Rolls-Royce and a daughter named Rin.

Rin and her father were out washing the Rolls-Royce after a long day of driving it. Not far off the Larrabee's were having a party.

Rin wasn't ever invited, but she had a special spot to watch and that was in a tree. It was on the edge, overlooking the fence so she could see everyone who had come.

Rin was in one word; plain. Her hair was long, but frizzy. For the life of her she couldn't keep it contained. She had on big glasses to match her big brown eyes. Her eyesight wasn't the greatest. Her clothes that she had on were a grey hoodie with jean overall dress. Plain.

She left her father to finish the car to go to that same tree.

Among other things the Larrabee's were noted for the parties they gave. Few people anymore gave parties the way they did. It never rained on the night of a Larrabee party, the Larrabee's wouldn't have stood for it.

The party was big. Almost every dignitary that could come, came. From senators to business partners. There was a band playing and people dancing.

There was a bar for drinks. Basically anything that you can imagine at a well defined party, it was there.

There was InuTaisho and Izayoi Larrabee who started the Larrabee Co. InuTaisho and Izayoi are on the the cover of Fortune.

InuTaisho and Izayoi were meandering through the party, greeting guests as they went, striking up conversation.

InuTaisho was lavish in a tuxedo, his long silver hair up in it's usual high ponytail. Izayoi looked absolutely amazing in a beige cocktail dress that went down to her knees. Her hair in an elaborate updo.

"Dear, where on earth is Sesshomaru? He is missing a really good party," Izayoi questioned while looking for her adoptive older son.

"He is over in the corner, on the phone. Conducting business as usual. Makes me kind of wonder if that boy ever takes a break," InuTaisho answered pointing to his elder son's location.

There was Sesshomaru, the older son, who graduated from Yale at nineteen and took his parents and the company for a ride on the fiber-optic highway and turned a hundred million dollar family business into some serious money. Sesshomaru was on the cover of Time.

Sesshomaru had taken over for his father at the age of twenty-five. He is now thirty-five and happily single. He believes in the idea of marriage of course, but unfortunately he doesn't have the time to dote on a woman who probably would only marry him for his money anyways.

"No George. We have been talking about this for the past hour and you still can't make up your mind. I gave you an offer and it expires at ten tonight," he looks at his watch, "It is now 10:03," and with that he promptly hangs up without saying goodbye.

He then reluctantly turned around and rejoins the party.

But most of all there was Inuyasha, the younger son, who is in and out of many schools and even more relationships. He was handsome and charming and funny and romantic. Inuyasha did a Gap ad.

Where Rin was in the tree, she could see Inuyasha. He was dancing with a lovely blonde. Rin watched them intently, watching Inuyasha's every move.

The blonde said something that must have been funny because Inuyasha laughed.

"Oh she made him laugh," she said quietly to herself, looking away for a moment. Then her father came up next to the tree.

"Rin please come down. You still need to pack for your trip for Paris in the morning," her father said, almost pleadingly.

Rin was once again staring. Inuyasha was now whispering something in the blonde's ear, then he parted with her to head straight for the band. He leaned to the conductor real quick then left. Casually strolling, he then went to the bar and picked out a bottle of champaign and gave it to the bartender to wipe off the water that was on it. He then picked out two champaign flutes and stuck them in his back pockets.

Off to the solarium he goes, Rin thought. "Rin are you listening to me. Watching Inuyasha Larrabee like a love sick teenager is not in no way healthy for you. Now get out of that tree and go pack," her father said, getting more frustrated by the minute.

"I'll be right there…," Rin said still looking in Inuyasha's direction. Her father finally threw his hands in the air and marched back to their home over the garage.

Inuyasha was now heading in her direction to leave the party, a smug and confident grin adorning his face. As he passed the tree that Rin was in, she jumped down, making him look in her direction.

"Hello Rin. I thought I heard something," he simply said and then turned and walked away. Rin didn't get to say hello back, so she did what she always did; followed him.

It wasn't very far to the solarium, but Rin kept her distance, just in case Inuyasha heard her with his demon hearing. Over time she had discovered that Inuyasha had a one track mind when it came to women. He focused on his goal and not the rest of his surroundings, but Rin wasn't taking any chances.

Once at the solarium Inuyasha entered, and went to the unsuspecting woman that he was going to woo and then drop like a hat the next second.

Rin didn't care how he treated them. She only hoped that one day he would finally notice her. She peeked through a window to take a glimpse of him pouring the champaign into the flutes. Then from the party a song started to play Love is Here to Stay and on cue Inuyasha took the woman into his arms and started to dance.

Rin couldn't look any longer, so she left, running back to the garage as fast as her legs could carry her.

Once at the garage, she climbed the stairs that led to her home, that had been her home since she was a small girl. She walked past their living room, hoping not to get noticed by her father.

"Rin?" No luck. "Yes daddy?" she asked turning back toward the room. As she looked into the room her father put down the book he had been reading. He got up and walked toward her.

"You know Rin, you can't live your life watching a man who doesn't know you exist," he said kindly, but he realized he said something hurtful, because Rin looked down and seemed on the verge of tears. "I didn't mean that," he hurriedly tried to fix his mistake.

"I know what you mean dad," Rin quietly said.

"You know that this trip is a big opportunity for you. To get out of here and explore the world. I hope this trip will also help you to get over this crush on Inuyasha Larrabee. Paris will do you good, you'll see," he said, bringing his only daughter into a hug.

"Now you better go finish packing," he said pushing her along to her room. Rin went a little reluctantly, but she did need to pack the rest of her things. She was planning on spending a couple of years in Paris, but once she got to her room, she had lost her mood to go to her big suitcase that was sitting on her bed.

Her mind wandered to Inuyasha again and wondered if he would ever remember her. Deep down she knew he wouldn't, but she couldn't help but hope.

Then being fed up with the night, she ran out of her room and went to the main house kitchens. The cooks were busy trying to prepare food for the party that was still going on, so Rin was able so sneak a bottle of sherry out without anyone noticing.

Making it back to her room, the first thing she did was open the bottle and take a couple of swigs. After a couple moments she started to feel the effects of the alcohol, then she took a couple more swigs to keep the effect going.

Breathing in deep she made it over to her empty suitcase and started stuffing it with clothes.

"Hey Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru turned to the voice that was calling him, who was his father. He was currently headed inside the house.

"Leaving already?" he asked catching up with him. "Yes father, but first I need to return Inuyasha's suspenders to his room. Who knows how long his next love affair is going to last," Sesshomaru replied turning to leave once again. His father chuckled at his last statement, shook his head and said, "Well then goodnight Sesshomaru. Drive safe." Sesshomaru put up his hand in a wave, then opened the double french doors that led inside.

Rin had finally finished packing the three bags she was going to take with her. By the time she was done she had downed half of the bottle of sherry she had taken. To say the least she was a little bit inebriated.

Walking to her bedroom window, she was going to take one last look towards Inuyasha's window before bed because she had a clear view of it.

His light is on! Taking a deep breath she plucked up the courage to make this her last chance to confess her feelings for him. It is now or never!

And with that she ran out of her room once again and went to the main house and made her way to Inuyasha's room. Now or never Rin, now or never, she kept chanting to herself.

Finally making it to his door, she politely knocked.

"Enter," a voice said from within. In her inebriated state she couldn't tell it was Sesshomaru. Rin entered.

"Um, I've come to say goodbye," Rin said out loud. Sesshomaru was inside Inuyasha's closet turned around and was about to leave it, but Rin said, "Please don't come out or I won't be able to get this out."

What? Sesshomaru thought. "You know I have known you a long time, probably better than you do actually. What I want to say is that I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow and I'll be gone a long time and I'd like to say that I…I…oh this is really hard…," Rin tried to calm her nerves by breathing in and out.

Sesshomaru quietly listened and realized at the same time that Rin had no clue that he was in the closet, not Inuyasha. It was time to reveal himself.

"Okay what I'm trying to say is-" Sesshomaru stepped out not letting her finish her statement. He said, "Could you possibly bring me one of those Eiffel Tower paper weights?"

Rin gaped like a goldfish. "Oh God," was the only thing she said before she bolted out of the room. Sesshomaru just watched her go. He sighed and left the room himself to head home.

Rin on the other hand was already up the stairs and in her bedroom. She flung herself on her bed and cried herself to sleep.

Rin was, to say the least, was very tired by the time she boarded an Air France airplane that would take her out of the country.

She was still embarrassed by her encounter with Sesshomaru and she never got to confess to Inuyasha either. Rin sighed looking out her window seat. Maybe, just maybe, her time in Paris will help her get over her long time crush to the second son of the Larrabee's.
