Next chapter is up and ready!! Now I'm going to do one last disclaimer that I hope will make it through the rest of this story.

Lol. I have to say I thought about the whole "Sesshomaru in the closet" thing but I didn't want him to be like a stalker. So sorry to disappoint.

So someone asked about updates. To tell you the truth I think I'll only be posting things on the weekends, and that is only if I get the time. SO there's your warning but don't get too worried I'll get on track soon enough.

Disclaimer: You have my word, Rumiko Takahashi, that I, Daddy'sPoetryAngel, DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE INUYASHA CHARACTERS.... except for the ones, which is only one his name is Tsu, that I made up.

So I hope you enjoy the rest of the story without having to read another disclaimer. Thank you and please review at the end. ^_^

Chapter 3

Mystery Guest Part 1

----------

Rin opened the door as slowly as possible, Tsu was behind her still. Sucking in a breath Rin opened the door fully and saw.......a kitten. To say Rin was relieved was an understatement. She smiled, "Look Tsu it was only a kitten that was in your closet."

Tsu quickly came from behind his sister's back to pick up the small kitten. He frowned, obviously not believing such a small thing could scare him. He stuck his head further into the closet, as if the kitten was just a side show hiding the real monster. Rin giggled, "Admit it Tsu you were afraid of something that wasn't even real. Now go to sleep and I guess keep the kitten with you, I'm sure he will protect you from the monsters." Tsu glared at his sister's retreating form but otherwise climbed into his bed with his new little kitten.

*_* *_* *_* *_* *_*

Rin sighed softly as she finished the load of laundry. Oh how she wished she could be gone, done with all this. Then she shook her head, there was no way in hell that she would leave Tsu to this life all alone. She gave out a frustrated sigh and stood up from her bed. Her arms wrapped themselves around the basket filled clothes and went downstairs. The yelling hadn't stopped yet and she flinched each time a voice was raised. "-BILLS, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS IS COSTING ME!!" That was her father and by the way her father sounded she knew her mother was just as worse.

"Don't fucking go there with me. Hell, I have been raising these kids alone practically. You have no idea how hard it has been for me. I care for them, I have to give them what they exactly need, and you? You fucking work, you sleep, you eat... that must be some hell that you go through." Rin instantly drew back. Her mother was pissed off, her voice was dangerously low and cold.

Rin's heart was hammering against her chest. She hesitated, knowing she would get hit if she dared barge in at a time like this but knowing she had to return their clothes sometime tonight. So with as much courage as she could gather she stepped into the kitchen.

The room became eerily silent.

Rin blinked to see that her mother was standing by the table with her fists by her side. Rin glanced at her father who was glaring daggers at her mother. Rin knew that now was a very bad time but she didn't want to pay for not giving the clothes to her parents on time. She cleared her throat, "I finished the laundry." Her voice was quiet and soft sounding out of place in a tense room.

Her mother was irritated, Rin could tell. So she wasn't surprised when she came over and slapped Rin across the cheek, already knowing there would be a bruise later on. Rin held her ground and watched as her mother quietly left the kitchen. Tears were starting to form but Rin held them in as her father came toward her, yanking the laundry basket from her feeble arms and heading out as well. She stood there, blinking back tears of anger and irritation looking up at the ceiling and counting to ten. She let out a breath and said to no one in particular, "Everything is fine. Just fine." Then she headed out the kitchen and up the stairs passing by pictures of the family, her family. She stopped at one in particular, one that showed a different event when times were easy and loose. Rin swallowed the lump in her throat, that was a long long time ago and that girl doesn't exsist anymore, she told herself as she continued up the stairs.

Rin quietly let herself in her room and fell on top of her bed. Great, she thought sarcastically, I feel so much better. She let out a very unlady-like snort and stared up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and somewhere beyond her subconscious she heard the door downstairs knock.

Well go ahead review ppls. Hahaha I hope this is satisfying. I've got the plot sorted out and everything, you'll know more about Rin's life and Sesshomaru's "anger problem." So for now sit back while I type as fast as possible. Hahaha I know I need some practice with my grammar but I'm slowly getting there.

Daddy'sPoetryAngel out!! ^_^
