Alrighty, look who's back! I am alive and I am loving my life of no job and no income. It's GREAT! -_- But that's not the point - The point is that I have a new Sesshomaru/Rin story that is going to prove most interesting indeed.
This story is based off of a dream that I had during summer break. I literally had really freaking random dream full of Purgatory, coin mounds, skeletons, and a swine mask and SOMEHOW that has inspired this wonderful... Thing. XD
So here we go. Let's see what will become of this, shall we?
Carry on my wayward Sess/Rin siblings.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
"No! You cannot do this to me! -No! No!- Don't you dare-" Muffled noises come from the large room at the end of cubicle isle. "I hate you! I never wanna see you again!-" the voice rises. "You can't fire me... I QUIT!" a tall and fierce dark haired woman shouts from the extremely prestigious newspaper editor's office. The demand was heard all throughout every cubicle within a hundred foot radius as the fuming woman burst open the doors indicating that her meeting with her, now former boss had been adjourned.
"I am not finished, Kagura," a young, handsome, silver haired man says with a stoic voice that could frighten the smallest child. The woman struts her steps twice as rough, making her heels scream across the floor to make her anger envelope her surroundings. Finding her desk, she grabs a random box from under, and angrily, growls under her breath as she starts packing her things in. Before she knows it, a tall, well aged, silver haired man comes up from behind to gently lie a hand upon her shoulder.
"I am sorry this had to happen-"
"Shove it, old man." she hisses, pulling her shoulder away with rage. Turning, she looks to see the owner of the building as well as the newspaper she no longer works for. "I don't care what it takes. But I am going to bring your asses down, and you will never work in this town again." she whispers the threat into his head before flaring her nostrils dramatically.
"You may want to be careful with what you say in the company of others." the older gentleman warns in a friendly voice. "You may not like the end result,"
"What was that supposed to be, a threat- HEY!" she yells as someone suddenly picks her up by her torso and flings her over their extremely broad shoulder. "Lemmie go you pathetic excuse of a dog-"
"See that she isn't tempted to return here, son," Mr. Inuakahashi says with a smile towards his smart employee.
"Yes father," says a man who was more than happy to oblige. Marching his way outside, he follows her never ending commands and shoves her on the grovel of the parking lot and tosses her box with her.
"You will pay for this, Sesshomaru." Kagura says with eyes of fire. "I am extremely powerful."
"Not without your sources, and daddy is a little occupied at the moment." he says crossing his arms, unamused.
"You are such an asshole-"
"You can thank your stupid and reckless stunt for your new reputation, because I will see to it that you will never work in another newsroom again." he says lowering himself to her level. "Nor will you ever speak to me again." he speaks with stern as she remains to flair with anger on the ground.
"I guess you never know what happens when you unwillingly give your heart to someone," she stands defensively as she gets in his face. "They fuck you over when they have what they want." her eyes become saddened.
"Indeed,"
"I loved you, Sesshomaru."
"You loved my pockets," he spits back. "and my information." he starts to walk forward, forcing her to cower backwards. "You had no intention of having any future with me." he says as she backs into someone's car. "No life," he steps on a picture frame, "No pups," he steps on her jacket. "Nothing." he is nose to nose to her. "Just a mole. A sleesy, undermining, stupid, mindless mole." is all that he wishes to say before leaving her to rot in the street.
"I will get you Sesshomaru..." is the last thing he heard before slaming the door behind him.
Once back inside, the whole room fell silent. Everyone had their eyes on the door as Sesshomaru as he waltzed on my down the aisle back to his office. He could feel every eye on his back as he turns with a purpose.
"Work," is all he needed to say before people shuffled, plopped, and tripped everywhere to be where they needed to be.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
'I hear its gentle whisper as it glides through my ear.
I can feel it dancing with the reeling strands of my hair.
As it hugs me tenderly,
my cheeks, my lips, my eyes,
I hum with such a sensation.
It carries me through my wilderness,
metaphoric or poetic.
It pulls me up,
twirls me 'round,
making the folds of my dress eager to fly with me.
I'm diluted from my thoughts.
My once worries are now carefree.
My thoughts sooth and linger,
dwelling within my rendered mind.
I feel as if...
Spirits lift me of my sorrows.
It calls to me...'
"Rin, it's time to feed Lelah. Can you make her bottle please?" Izayoi says with a lyrical voice with another child in her hand. She is on her way to one of the many play rooms in the house to change a diaper. Knocked out of concentration, Rin leaves her poem upon the desk in the adult room, completely forgetting it to do what she was told.
"Yes ma'am." Rin replies with a large smile and quick hands with formula, powder, and water. Quickly making the little pink bottle, Kaede walks on in grasping the finished product.
"Thank you dear. I'll take this one. Will you please go and make up the cots for nap time?"
"Yes, ma'am." again she smiles and runs to do her new task.
Working at a daycare is anything but boring. There is always something to do from diapers, bottle making, bed making, food making, to simple child watching which is an exhausting in itself. Rin Tamiko is an 19 year old kid fresh out of high school, she is here, learning everything she can about kids.
Rin wants to go to college, she wants to get her degree in teaching and become an elementary teacher. With this job, she gets the experience she wants and the money that she needs. She has been working here for almost four years and she absolutely loves it. Sure it may only be 4 days a week, but she wouldn't trade these four days for the world.
On her way to the nap room, she loses herself in her thoughts about what she had written. She was trying to find a name for it. It was on the tip of her tongue but... She was so deep within her thoughts that she didn't see Mr. Inutakahashi and bumped right into him, almost forcing her to fall to the floor.
"Oh my. I am so-"
"Oh, Rin." his voice hushed hers as he embraces her arm to remain from falling. "My apologies. I didn't see you there." he smiles. Rin blushes.
"I'm sorry, Mr Inutakahashi. I wasn't looking where I was-"
"Now, now Rin. What is my name around here?" he jokingly leans on one him.
Sighing with a smile, Rin only replies. "Sorry Pops." she felt silly saying it.
"That's right." he smiles as one of the daycare kids came running to his arms to be picked up. "So, off to nap duty, huh?"
"Yup," she smiles as she tickles the little one in Pops hands. "But I like it. It gives me time to think..." she pauses when she sees the gentle sways of the little girls hair that sat upon Pops' side. Her mind goes blank as only one word crosses her mind. Slowly coming to the realization she only shouts the word "WIND!" she smiles in a giggle. "The Wind!" her smile only grows. Pops raises an eyebrow.
"The..."
"Excuse me, sir." she says with a continued smile as she runs past him to head to the nap room.
"O-kay.." he says as he lets the child down as he heads towards his Wife Izayoi and Sister Kaede.
"The wind is lovely, especially today," Kaede says with a hopeful smile.
"Maybe it could be more helpful by whisping our bills away," Izayoi giggles as she points to the adult room. "Mail's on the desk hun," she gives Pops a quick kiss before running outside to scold a child for running someone over with a tricycle.
Letting her do her job, he decides to do his and head to the pile of lovely bills upon his desk.
But instead of small envelopes invading his desk, he sees a piece of paper with unique handwriting. Peaking at his interest more than stupid bills, he decides to pick up this piece of paper and reads it slowly...
'I hear its gentle whisper as it glides through my ear.
I can feel it dancing with the reeling strands of my hair.
As it hugs me tenderly,
my cheeks, my lips, my eyes,
I hum with such a sensation...'
"So how was your day at the office, love?" Izayoi asks as she washes her hands.
"We fired Sesshomaru's top assistant today," he trails off continuing to read the poem in his hands.
"Oh no. Kagura? What for?" Izayoi asks in genuine concern.
"She was a mole looking for information for someone else- this is lovely..." he completely disregards the forgotten woman as he continues to read it.
"Sesshomaru must be devastated. They have been together for quite sometime."
"He's the one who fired her- who wrote this?" he can care less at the moment.
"What?" Izayoi asks curious on why he is so uncaring of the situation.
"This," he says with a smile showing her what he believes to be complete brilliance.
"Umm... I don't know..." she trails off looking into the other room full of kids. "The last person that was in there was Rin. Ask her- Hey, hey HEY!" her soothing, soft, motherly voice instantly changed to raging, crazy prison ward as she caught a child that was about to bite the arm of another.
It doesn't take him long to get to the nap room to see Rin has just finished with her task. Composing himself, he gently knocks on the door.
"Ms. Rin," he says with an extremely charismatic voice.
She jumps in surprise of the knock.
"Mr. Inutak-" he looks to her knowingly "Pops... Is there something that you needed?" she says standing with as much posture she can.
"Yes," he says walking in. "I was hoping you could help me find someone." he says knowingly with a smile on his face. She shakes her head fiercely, though she has no idea who she knows that he would want.
"Yes sir?"
"You see, I found...this-" he pulls out the sheet of paper with her handwriting on it. Her eyes grow wide. "and I would like to know who it had belonged to." he says continuing to smile a toothy smile.
Deeply, she inhales not wanting to do. Is this good? Is this bad? Does he hate it, or does he like it? Why is she suddenly so nervous?
She starts to sweat. "I-Well it belongs...It belongs to-(cough)- It belongs to... to me, sir," she stutters as she points to herself.
His smile is content as he slowly nods. "Rin, what do you call this piece?" he says pulling out his glasses from his chest pocket to really read it. Again she is nervous, but not as surprised.
"I call it... The Wind, sir. This is what I feel when I am in the presence of the wind." she says as surprisingly more honest as she intended to be.
"The Wind..." he trails off rubbing his chin. "Is this what you were talking about a few minutes ago?"
"Yes sir."
"I see..." he says leaving her with undying suspense. She knows what he does for a living... This is insanity!
So much she just has to ask.
"Do..." she gulps. "Do you... like it?" she twidles her fingers together in nervousness and a hopeful smile. Biting her lip she just wants an answer.
"Rin," he sighs holding out the sheet of paper for her to take back.
"Look its not done yet!" she rushes to conclusion. "I just randomly started writing crap down and that's what I came up with. It's not finished, edited or anything. It will be way better when I-"
"Rin," his lonely word kept her quiet. Smirking, he leans back against the wall. "Funny you should say "editing". Because I have a proposition for you." he says as her eyes meet his with meaning.
Yes...Sir?"
"How would you like to be my editors new secretary?"
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Way to plant that seed, Pops! You're so clever! XD
So what did you think of the first chapter. I have to say that this is going to end up being another Spits 'n Giggles-ish story. I have the basic idea in my head, but the material in between is... Lets just say that surprises are more fun to have than they are to make. I do know where this story is going, its just getting there will be the fun part.
Well. Tell me what you think. I hope that you enjoyed it.
Yes they will meet next chapter... Jeez. It's like you're here to see romance or somethin'... What's wrong with you people? XD
See you soon!
