Pathetic!

Here is another chapter for all my dears. I am writing it because Easter is over at my house, I don't feel good, and I have to get it done before my job interview tomorrow. Thanks to those who have reviewed and all the awesome stuff for the first chapter.

I walked into the office and before I could say anything I was wrapped in a hug. I hugged them back and smiled. "Well glad to see that after your first week of school you survived." Mr. Kai said as he walked me through the office to the tank. "Yep but I could have gone with out some drama from people, but that is life for those who wish to live it." I said as I went to the wall and started to take my shoes off.

Mr. Kai smiled at me and then he called the girls over. I grabbed my pouch and then went to the edge of the tank and put my whistle in my mouth and then started to practice with the girls. After a half hour of training I finally gave the girls a break and then looked up to see both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the stands. Sesshomaru was just sitting and Inuyasha looked to be cleaning. "Hey what's up with those two?" I asked him.

Mr. Kai looked up and then frowned. "Well the one sitting is watching his brother to make sure he cleans up the place. Apparently his little brother wanted to show is artwork in the watch level. So his father and the boss worked out that he had to clean with the supervision of his older brother." Mr. Kai said to me and then went back to stocking up the barrels. I shrugged and then took a drink of water. "Hey I want to work with them with me in the water, are you to busy to watch?" I asked him.

Mr. Kai looked up at me and shook his head. He then walked to me over to the tank and then watched me. I got the girls to line side by side with each other and then I carefully placed a foot on each of them and then we started to go forward. I had total trust in them. If it weren't for them I probably wouldn't be who I am today. They make me happy no matter what. I looked up to see a very unamused look on Sesshomaru's face.

"Can you believe that?" I asked them. They didn't seem to care and I just had them go in a circle. With each lap they made we would go a little faster. I was hoping to get them to go fast enough that I would be able to get them and me to do a flip together. But that was something we had to practice. Finally I ended their training and then petted them. I noticed Inuyasha has made his way over to the tank just watching. I smiled and then I started to cool them off.

I started to walk them around the tank and then after a minute I met up with Inuyasha. "You work here?" He asked me. I nodded. "I sure do." I said to him. "I hear you graced us with some art work." I said to him. Inuyasha looked down and then back up when he heard Mai speaking. "She doesn't like it when men look away from her." I told him. Inuyasha chuckled and then watched them. "Want to pet her?" I asked him.

Inuyasha rained an eyebrow and then shrugged. I took his hand and placed it on Mai's back. "Whoo...she doesn't feel like what I thought she would." He said to me. I smiled at Mai and then petted Ling. "This is Ling. She is Mai's sister." I said to him. "What happened to her back?" Inuyasha asked me. I looked a Ling and sighed when I seen the scar on her back. "It was caused by poachers. They killed all but these two." I answered him and then looked from Inuyasha to the girls.

Mai was soaking up the attention from Inuyasha and I grabbed his attention again. "Hey wanna do a trick with her?" I asked him. Inuyasha pulled away and then looked at me. "Its ok, nothing too hard, I promise." I said to him. He nodded and so I showed him what to do. "It's really easy. Just wave your hand and then go in a circle." I said to him. Inuyasha nodded and then did as I showed him. Both Mai and Ling followed his signals and then right at the perfect moment I clapped and they both splashed him.

Inuyasha didn't take long to get angry when he realized I was laughing along with Mr. Kai. "Want to give them a fish?" I asked him. He glared at me and I shrugged. I threw both girls a fish and then I went about with cooling them off. Finally I made it back to the stage where Mr. Kai was still laughing. "You are a mean young lady." He said to me. I smiled and then put the girls in the other tank for the night.

Finally work was over with and it was time to go home and do homework. I made it out of the gates and half way home when it started to rain. "I don't remember hearing about rain this week. Mmm...I'll live." I said as I continued to walk. I finally made it home and smelled something burning. I ran to the kitchen to see Koji asleep at the table and something burning in the oven. I quickly turned the sink on and opened the oven and threw the pan in the sink.

The loud bang is what woke Koji up. He looked over at me and seen the oven. He ignored me and then went upstairs and slammed his door shut. I sighed and then checked the messages as I cleaned up the kitchen. "Rin, wont be home tonight. Meeting tomorrow, so I am staying at the office." Then there was nothing. I sighed as I made my way upstairs to Koji's room.

I knocked on the door and a minute later he answered it. "What?" He asked. I could tell he was stoned by looking at his eyes and the fact that he was being rude. "I'm ordering a pizza. Do you want a certain kind?" I asked him. He looked at me and slammed his door again. I sighed and then grabbed my cell and called in the pizza. After ten minutes I went back to Koji's door. "Hey I'm going to go pick up the pizza. Be back in a little while." I yelled through the door.

I didn't expect a response and I happily made my way down the stairs. I grabbed my purse and made my way out the house. I was glad the rain led up and after a ten minute walk I made it the pizza place. I walked in to get greeted by Chi. She worked with her father as a pizza maker. She went to school with my brother. "Well I see you walked by yourself again." She said with anger. Chi and Koji use to date but when he started the drugs she broke it off. She wasn't going to let him drag her down. But she tried to be his friend. But he just shut her out like everyone else.

I smiled at her. "It's ok. I'm use to it." I said to her and then paid for my pizza. "Rin, I don't care. He is your big brother, he should be there for you." She said to me. I just smiled and waited for my pizza. The door opened and I look to see Inuyasha with an older man. "Rin." He said my name. I smiled at him and then waved. "What in the world happened to you?" He asked me. I looked down the see that I was covered in water and black soot. "Its a long story." I said and him. He frowned and then seen the man he was with grab three pizzas.

The man turned to look at us and smiled at me. "And who is this Inuyasha?" He asked him. Inuyasha pointed to me and told him I was Rin. "Aw...so this is the young lady that showed my boys around the school the first couple days. I would personally like to thank you. I am Inuyasha's father InuTaisho" He said and shook my hand. I smiled and shook his back. "Not at all. I always like to help." I said and then noticed Chi handling my pizza. "Well I hate to run but I believe my brother is starving and is waiting for this pizza. Have a good night." I said as I walked to the door.

Before I could open it a inch someone slammed it shut in front of me. I looked over to see a very angry looking Mr. Lee. I sighed and then looked to see it was pouring down rain. "Do you think it will last long?" I asked him. He sighed and then shoved me to a table. "If he was that hungry he would have walked you to get his supper." He said and then went back to making pizzas. Inuyasha looked at me and looked very confused. I just smiled and smiled more when I seen the rain had stopped.

I got up. "Well the rain's stop. See ya!" I yelled as I made a quick get away. I felt bad doing that but I had to get it home to Koji so he didn't have to eat cold pizza. Finally after another ten minute walk I made it home. "Koji! Pizzas here!" I said as I got plates and started to plate the food when I seen a note. I picked it up and read it. Rin, not home. I sighed as I put the extra plate away and then took my plate to my room and started on my homework for the weekend. "Friday is when no one is home. How can I forget." I said and then went into my own world.

After three hours of doing homework I was done. I took my plate downstairs and washed it and then grabbed a glass of milk and then drank it. After finishing it off I checked all the locks and then went to bed. About two in the morning I woke up from having a nightmare. I sighed and then calmed myself down and then went back to sleep. I wasn't about to have a nightmare keep me from living life.

I went through Saturday of no one being home. So I went shopping to buy food and other things that we needed around the house. As I was in the store I ran into Inuyasha once again, but this time he was with a woman. "Stalker!" I said to him with a smiled. Inuyasha looked at me and then smiled as well. "Glad to know you made it him." He said to me. I shrugged my shoulders and then introduced myself to who he was with. "Hi, I'm Rin." I said to her. She took my hand and shook it. "I'm Inuyasha's mother Izayoi." She said to me. "It's a pleasure to meet you." I said and then excused myself to finish shopping.

I made it home with ten bags of groceries. I checked the mail and went through it. I set Koji's mail under his door and the bills and dad in his study. I didn't get any mail and so I just went and put everything away. Soon it was night and Dad didn't call so I grabbed an apple and went to my room for the night. I just didn't feel like eating anything tonight.

I made it thought Sunday all by myself and then the next time I woke up it was Monday. I got up and got dressed. I went downstairs and grabbed a banana and grabbed my bag and made my way outside waiting for Kagome. When I seen her pull up I locked the door and went to her car. I smiled at her. "Morning." I said as I buckled up. She smiled back and then pulled out of my drive and off to school. "Looks like it will storm." She said as we pulled up to the drive. I sighed as I looked at the clouds and knew she was right.

From the time that Sasuke died I hated loud sounds. They always took me back to the night that Sasuke was killed. We walked into the school and before we made it three feet in the building the thunder sounded. I whimpered and closed my eyes as I grabbed Kagome's arm. "Why did you have to be in dumb classes this year?" I asked as another crack went thought the sky. She and Sango sighed and then rubbed my back. "You will be just fine. Maybe Mrs. Kai will keep you in her class. She's done that before." Sango said to me. I nodded and then we made our way to first period.

I sat in my seat and ignored the windows. Mrs. Kai came in and then went to them and closed all the blinds. I shuddered when I heard the thunder sound louder. I looked over to see a grin on Koga's face. I knew then that I turned pale. "I'm doomed." I said to myself and then Sesshomaru turned his head and looked at me. He was in a row next to mine. I smiled weakly at him and then closed my eyes again.

Mrs. Kai started her class, so I tried my hardest to to keep from getting sick. We were close to the end of the hour when I heard a very loud sound. I started to panic and then looked over to see a smiling Koga. Sango touched my back and tried to calm me down. I looked at the front of the room to see a very angry looking Mrs. Kai. She was glaring at Koga. "Well class that's all for today." She said and then put her book down. Everyone else started to pack up their bags. I was doing so as well when Koga walked over.

I looked up to see him and he smiled a sinister smile at me. "Tell me, Rin what's the deal?" He asked me. I ignored him and then laid my head back down. Koga growled at me and then lifted my head off the desk. "I bet you seen your brother shoot someone dead." He said and then laughed. I tore away from his touch and glared at him. "Well looks like Rin isn't always all smiles." He said to me. He was about to say something else when another crack of thunder sounded. "WOW! So your brother is a killer." He said to everyone in the room.

Mrs. Kai started to make her way over but not before Koga spoke again. "I bet your Dad got him hooked on the drugs and gave him the gun to kill who ever it was that he killed." He said. I couldn't take it anymore and I slapped him across the face. Everyone went silent. "Koga, Rin." I looked over to see Mrs. Kai. She had a frown on her face. "Mrs. Kai, it's not my fault that Rin's brother is a killer." Koga said once again.

I made a fist and then collected my thoughts. "Koga don't talk about things you don't understand." I said to him. Koga looked at me and smiled. "Must be hard to know..." He tried to say but I cut him off first. "Just shut up!" I yelled and then ran out of the room. Mrs. Kai, Kagome and Sango tired to stop me but I wouldn't listen to them. I finally made it to the small area behind the gym bleachers.

I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I started to cry into my arms and then I felt someone sit next to me. I sniffled and looked up to see Sesshomaru right next to me. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. Sesshomaru looked at me and then looked away. "Your tears were stinking up the school." He said to me. I couldn't help my laugh at what he said. "Why are you laughing?" He asked me.

I took a deep breath and looked up at him. "Well usually someone would ask why they cry, not that they can smell it." I said to him. Sesshomaru just kept staring at me. "Sorry, I always try to see the good in things." I said to him and then went silent. "Why? I mean anyone would have broke a week ago with all the things Koga does to you." He said to me. I sighed and then looked at the floor.

I took a deep breath. "When I was five, I saw my mom kill my brother Sasuke. My oldest brother and Dad have shut me out of their lives and pretty much ignore me. My dad pays the bills, gives me an allowance, and all that but when it comes to us kids he isn't there. I remember Christmas plays he told me he had a meeting so he wouldn't be there. Koji my brother after three months that followed Sasuke's death he turned to drugs and shut me out completely. I says one word to me maybe every two weeks. An my mom well I haven't seen or heard of or from her in eleven years. My family is pathetic." I said to him.

Sesshomaru and I stayed quite for a moment longer and then I looked over at him. He seemed to be thinking about something. "What? Are you trying to figure out how to run away?" I asked him. Sesshomaru shook his head and then stayed silent. "How did you not turn out the way they all did?" He asked me. I took a moment to think about his question and then smiled. "Mr and Mrs. Kai. They were the ones that saved us from our mother and so they took me in when I need someone. And I had my friends there when I need them." I said to him.

Sesshomaru nodded and then he looked from me to the door. I sighed and nodded. He helped me up and we made our way out and into the hallway. It was second period now so we made our way to the class. I sighed as I looked through the door window and seen Koga sitting in his chair. "I can do this." I said and then entered the room. I can do this, I can do this. I can't do this! I thought as I took my seat. Someone help me!

Well here is the chapter. I hope you like it! I know some of it like a repeat but I wanted Rin to have to tell her story at least to Sesshomaru. :) Hope you like and if you all have any ideas you can let me know. :)
