Darkness. Since the beginning of time mankind has associated night with evil, serving as an accomplice for the evil deeds committed in its presence- killing, stealing and cheating. Rin Inutaisho related to these accusations; her parents were murdered under the cover of darkness. The coffee shop she presently owns had been broken into the other night. As for cheating, thus far her life has been spared the heartache. With that final thought the nineteen-year-olds philosophy lesson came to an end as she raised all of the coffee shop's mesh drapes to greet the sun's majestic arrival over the ever distant Tokyo skyline. The golden sphere was and forever shall be the ningen's energy. It fueled her happiness and her hope that all would be right with the star's arrival.
Gracefuly flying down a flight of staires from the coffee shop's upper lounge. Her eyes scanned over all of her priced processions. The Marti gras mask in its glass box underneath a poster of New Orleans, Louisiana. She had bought the prized procession during her trip to Disney World Resort with Kagome and Inuyasha. The unusual family had moved to the United States unexpected her fifteenth birthday when she had inquired why the sudden desire to travel Inuyasha has barked,
"BECAUSE we wanted to do something special for ya kid isn't that good enough for ya?"
Rin affectionately shook her head at the fond memory; the odd couple was always going out of their way to make her happy, almost as if they trying to fill the hole of a deceased loved one, ne? Silly kagome and Inuyasha, didn't they recall that her parents had been deceased for over eight years and had barely known of their existence?
After descending the final flight of steps she leisurely twirled in wide lazy cirlcles extending her arm above her head, mocking a graceful ballerina's poetic dance across the shop's polished wood floors as the song's haunting piano solo hovered across the shop's one open area and main dining area,
"If we live our life in fear, I'll wait a thousand years, just to see you smile again…"
"RIN I SWEAR IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT MY LIFE WOULD BE INCOMPLETE!" Kagome yelled with laughter over the lead singer's vocals.
The young girl's raven hair swung across her face, leaving a few stray strands across her face, barely hiding her mocha eyes and sheepish grin at her own antics as she stopped her dance recital in the middle of the new coffee shop- surrounded by modern art pieces and brick walls. The trio had just recently opened the new business in hopes of earning a moderate profit seeing how inuyasha had no intentions of occupying himself with any real job, after recently being let go from a construction company for not taking his job seriously in words of his over seers.
"kagome where is inuyasha?" asked Rin as she plopped down in a bar stool in front of the counter. Kagome lazily wiped down the espresso machine before turning around to face the younger girl, 'If only we could get Sesshomaru to reunite with Rin. I don't know how much more he can take, even a powerful Dog- Demon like himself has to eventually find a mate or suffer the consciences…'
"He's talking to his brother about some family issues," answered Kagome. It was completely true, she just failed to leave out some important details, nothing devious about that right? She mindlessly rubbed the back of her neck as she mulled over her deception to her best friend and hopefully future sister-in-law …that is If her and inuyasha had anything to do with it.
"Oh," sighed Rin, as she cupped her head in her hand while passively staring out at the city's immense buildings.
The older girl grabbed the younger ones hands into her own, giving them a tight squeeze.
"Rin…If I thought you should know about what Inyuasha is up to I would tell. But please trust me when I say it's in your best interest to trust me and stay completely ignorant of inuyasha's family. In time everything will reveal itself to you. Right now isn't the time." The statement seemed so final to Rin's ears, she didn't comprehend why Kagome would keep anything from her! This important secret was in her right to know about right? Damn, she was almost an adult! Shouldn't they see that she was old enough to know about this so-called secret?
Before Rin even had enough time to finish her silent rant kagome interrupted with a command to open the door and let in the apparently angry customer who had persistently banged on the door for the past minute.
"INUYASHA!" cried Rin as she opened the door and took in the older man's black hair which always had this fake sheen to it reminding her of the teenage girls who dyed their yielding the same results. His gold eyes stare down at her in an annoyed nonchalant way before turning his head behind him. HOW RUDE!
"Told ya she was pretty, didn't I?" Inuyasha proudly stated with a humph before crossing his arms over his chest.; apparently pleased with his companions beauty.
"She sure is." The man in athletic shorts and Nike shocks replied. As Rin looked over the strangers body noticing his naked well toned chest. A slight blush covered her cheeks from the blatant statement from the stranger
"Rin this is Koga, he's our new dish boy."
