Chapter 1: Meetings at the Museum

"Where in the world is Kikyo?" Mae asked. "The party is about to start soon."

Every year in May, Kikyo, Kagome, and Rin's mother, Mae Higurashi would host a party in the Tokyo Art Museum. Although she didn't won the museum, she was allowed to throw parties. In doing so, people would find what pieces of art they liked and then come back two weeks later for the auctioning.

Kagome pressed a hand to her pregnant stomach. So far she was six months along. Her fiancé, Inuyasha was overjoyed by the news. Unfortunately her dress did nothing to hide her figure. Kagome was dressed in a powder blue gown with a white shawl hanging off her arms.

"I'm sure she'll be here," Kagome reassured their mother.

"How could she be late, I drove her here," said Rin who was dressed in a peach colored gown. On her face was pink lipstick and apricot eyeshadow. She began to finger her glossy which stopped a few inches from her jaw.

"Well she better get here soon," said Mae as she walked off.

Moments later the party began. Everyone started to mingle while Kagome and Rin still waited for Kikyo. A minute later she emerged.

"Finally," Kagoem said, irritated. "Where have you been?"

"I went to the package store," Kikyo confessed.

"In a pea green gown with three inch heels," Rin said sarcastically.

"I wanted some smokes," Kikyo stated.

Rin rolled her eyes and said with even more sarcasm, "Well I hope you didn't break a heel."

"You guys know how I hate coming here," Kikyo whined.

All Rin and Kagome did was roll their eyes and groan. Kikyo would act so immature sometimes. When Mae was first pregnant, it was with twins, Kikyo and Kagome. Kikyo was an hour older . Both were twenty-six. Then two years later, Rin was born. She was now twenty-four.

Kagome and Rin forever walked away, leaving Kikyo to skim through the paintings. She made a bored face. Art never really was her thing. She quickly looked around for any sign of her mother. When she didn't see her, she pulled out a cigarette. Then she lit it.

"I see that the paintings here aren't the only things that's smokin'," said a voice from behind.

Whomever said that should have really come up with something alot better.

Kikyo instantly jumped then turned around to see a man.

"Sorry if I scared you," he apologized.

"You can say that again," Kikyo commented with an attitude and wiping the ash from her dress.

The stranger only ignore that.

"Damn it. You made me drop my cigarette," said an angry Kikyo.

"Sorry," he apologized once more.

Kikyo rolled her eyes, then took out another one and lit it.

"You can't smoke in here," he said, pointing to a sign that said No Smoking Allowed. Kikyo only scoffed.

The man held out his hand. "The name's Naraku."

Kikyo looked upon his hand. She sighed, then acepted. Naraku lightly shook her hand. He had a nice frim grip. Too bad she wasn't sticking around any longer.

Kikyo looked through the busy crowd to see if she could spot someone else to talk to. She would rather be at home watching a good movie. But instead she was stuck in an art museum at a boring party on a Friday night.

She finally found Kagome standing by herself.

"Excuse me, but I see my sister," Kikyo announced while also thanking Naraku for his time and then left.

Across from the room, Rin was eyeing the beautiful yet strangely sculpted piece of art. She seemed to understand what she was looking at.

When Rin was in college she would have majored in art, but instead majored in business. She graduated three years early.

Just as she was about to read the name of the artist, someone covered her eyes. They were a pair of hands. She removed them and then turned around only to be met with a set of golden eyes.

Rin looked into them with surprise. It was Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother. While he only smirked, Rin twisted her face in annoyance.

"Yes Mr. Taisho, how may I help you?" Rin asked, her voice clipped.

Sesshomaru chuckled. "Now is that any way to talk to someone that you haven't seen--"

"In years," Rin finished for him. "Yes, I do." She moved a few feet away.

Rin couldn't believe it. After so many years that had gone by, Sesshomaru actually had the nerve to want to talk to her? Back in high school Rin and Sesshomaru did date. The dark haired maiden was madly in love with him, but sadly he had broken her heart at Graduation.

He said that he felt like he was rushing into things, and didn't want to develop a commited realationship. And besides, he wanted more in a woman, someone who was perfect. Rin just wasn't it.

What did she expect from a wealthy teenage boy?

"Look, I know that you're upset--" he said, but was cut off.

"What do you want, Sesshomaru?" Rin asked, losing paitence.

"Can't I come here to enjoy the art?" he said innocently.

Rin huffed. "No, because you're bothering me."

She began to walk away. Sesshomaru made no attempt to follow her. He thought that when he finally reunited with Rin, she would laugh off their previous relationship, but she seemed even more upset than she was at Graduation.

Kagome and Kikyo noticed that their little sister was leaving. She looked pissed off. Kikyo spotted Naraku coming her way. Whatever was wrong with Rin would have to wait until the morning, but right now she needed a ride home.

"See ya later Kagome," Kikyo said, handing Kagome her wine glass.

Kagome was a little confused, but she didn't object to Kikyo leaving. All she did was stare at her two sisters as they left the museum.
