I'm sorry that I haven't updated in forever. My computer had multiple fits putting its internet out of commission….and deleting the chapters I had written so far. -.-
Rin: Say it and I'll give you a cookie.
Friendofamonkey: Maybe I don't want a cookie. -Pouts-
Sesshomaru: Would you rather have a knuckle sandwich?
Friendofamonkey: -panicking at the look in Sesshomaru's eyes- No, no a cookie is fine.
Rin: It's chocolate chiiip
Friendofamonkey: Fine! I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters! There I said it! Now give me my COOKIE!
Ken'ichi Ushida was a wealthy merchant from the Eastern Lands. As it happened, he was really the son of a wealthy merchant and wouldn't be rich until his father died and left him his inheritance. And he was not happy. Months before he had been told by his father that he would not receive his inheritance unless he married with in the year to a young woman the proper qualities. In his father's eyes that meant she had to be rich. This made things even worse since Ken'ichi was in love…with a maid.
Ken'ichi laughed. He could just see it. Telling his father that he wanted to marry Shiori Akita would result in him immediately getting disinherited. Ever since he was twelve Ken had always been in love with Shiori. She was three years younger than him and had the most beautiful smile. Her hair was a long sweep of burnt chocolate that flowed down her back and curled gently up at the end, near her shoulder. Ken had met her secret for many years and they had become even closer than he had thought possible.
Then one day, about a week after he had told her of his father's decree, she had disappeared. She moved away in the middle of the night, not telling anyone where she was going. She only left a short note for Ken:
Ken'ichi my love,
I leave you with hopes that you can find someone to marry,
with out your feelings for me interfering.
Please know that I will always love you and I will forever
cherish my memories of you.
Be happy, yours Shiori
Ken'ichi had been devastated when he had read the note. He had spent days searching for her, hoping to convince her to run away with him and live together forever. But he didn't find her after a month of searching and decided that no matter how much it hurt his heart, that he would try to do as Shiori had wished and find a rich heiress to marry and maybe even come to care fore. He would have traded all the money in the world to be with Shiori, living in a hovel. He wept one last time for his love, and then packed his bags to go and meet and marry the young heiress Rin.
Rin's p.o.v.
It had been three weeks since Sesshomaru had left her at Kagome and Inuyasha's home. During that time Kagome had been vigorously training Rin in the art of jealousy. There first task had been to make Rin look irresistible. For that Kagome took Rin to her own time. It had taken hours of searching before Kagome decided on what Rin's style would be. She decided that Rin would wear fall colors, like browns and burnt oranges. Since Rin just couldn't get used to the leg reveling style of the present, they decided to buy Rin flowing full length skirts to go with the stylish form fitting tops.
The next step was trading Rin's cute girl hair for a more womanly look. Kagome took Rin to this place that she called a 'salon' and had her hair styled in long riotous curls that ran down Rin's back and then paid the stylist to teach Rin how to style it that way herself.
The third step in Rin's transformation was teaching her how to flirt. This process involved a lot of laughing and a lot of slapping since Miroku was doing the tutoring. At the end of her flirt training her test was to successfully flirt with Kohaku a shy young man that lived in the village. This didn't go so well since Kohaku was an inexperienced flirter also. So when Rin tried to flirtatious, Kohaku got confused and embarrassed Rin by asking 'What do you mean?' constantly. Miroku decided that it was a success since Rin had stunned Kohaku into walking into a tree, by giving him a kiss on the cheek and an adoring look.
"Rin I think that your training is complete. You are now ready to seduce Sesshomaru into confessing his true feelings for you." Kagome told Rin.
"Really? I'm still kind of nervous." Rin admitted. "I am not sure how to do this. What if I hurt my future 'husband's' feeling's? I don't want to hurt anyone."
Kagome thought for a minute then grinned. "I've got it! You just need to tell him about your plan ahead of time. You meet him, get him alone, and tell him the situation. I'm sure one look at your pleading face will make him happy to help you."
"But Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru has offered the man a large sum of money. If I don't marry them then they won't get the money that was promised to them. Why would they help me for nothing?"
Inuyasha spoke up from his seat at the table. "How much money is Sesshomaru offering?"
Rin replied "9,000,000yen"
Inuyasha whistled at the amount. Then had a great thought and his face lit up. "Kagome remember the 'time capsule' thingy you had us bury? I put about that much money in it! We can offer it to the man if he helps Rin!" Kagome agreed instantly.
"But that is too much money! You don't have to waste it on me. I can find some other way." Rin said.
"Don't you dare say that your happiness is a waste of our money!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "We want you to have it. Right Kagome?"
"Of course we do." Kagome said. Then, ignoring Rin's protests "Then that's settled. What a relief." She that went out side to find her two year old son had climbed out of his playpen and into a huge pit of mud. "Great. Looks like I am trading one adventure for another. Kanaye!" she sighed. "I guess its bath time. Inuyasha" she called "come help me with you son"
"How come he's my son whenever he is dirty?" Inuyasha asked with a smile on his face as he walked away from Rin to help his wife.
Rin walked into the guest room that she was staying in. She decided to get one more look at the new Rin. She put on her new outfit and styled her hair. Looking in the mirror she smiled. "Lord Sesshomaru you are in for one heck of a surprise."
So that's the end of this chapter. I know that I didn't describe Rin's new outfit so I am giving you a link to the outfit so there is a link to a pic of it on my profile page. See ya soon! Love, hugs, and cookies, yours Friendofamonkey.
