Rin sighed and massaged her temples tensely. The last two weeks had been hell; she had hired a caterer, planned all the decorations for the actual party, hired a swimming instructor for those who did not know how to swim, hired a life-guard, formed an invitations list, and sent out the invitations. The actual trip lasted one week, all the employees would arrive to the Taisho Company's private beach and hotel at noon, then they would be served a light brunch, and after a quick speech by Sesshomaru then festivities would commence. Rin was just grateful that Kagome had taken pity on her and decided to help.

"Rin? Are you alright?" Kagome's concerned voice caused Rin to raise her head and smile.

"I'm fine, Kagome-sama! Just tired." she said leaning back in her chair with exhaustion. Kagome, InuYasha, and Rin were in Rin's apartment and while Rin and Kagome had worked on the party, InuYasha had sat on the floor in front of Rin's television watching the food network obsessively. It had kept him silent for hours.

Kagome smiled kindly, "Just call me Kagome, Rin. I want you to view me as your friend instead of as your superior."

Rin smiled, "Sure! Thank you for helping me!"

Kagome frowned and leaned back into her own chair, "I don't know why Oniisama is making you do all the work. At the mention of Sesshomaru, heat rose in Rin's face. She hurried to cover it up with a yawn. Sesshomaru had pretended like nothing had happened after his little comment about Rin in a swimsuit, he had treated Rin the same way but, Rin always felt her heartbeat hit the roof when he was around. It seemed her tiny crush had transformed into something more. Holy Kami, something like love! Rin blushed fiercely and banished such thoughts from her head. Love was stupid. Absolutely stupid...wasn't it?

"I bet the perverted bastard is pickin' on Rin 'cause she's a pretty, single girl." grumbled InuYasha which caused color to rise in Rin's face again.

"InuYasha..." warned Kagome. InuYasha immediately turned towards the television, his ears twitching slightly. Kagome cleared her throat, "So, Rin! Have you decided on what kind of clothes to take?"

Rin tapped her chin thoughtfully, "Well, I've decided to wear a sundress to the brunch and bring a more formal dress for the party on the last night. The rest of the time I'll be wearing casual clothes and perhaps a few dresses. I've got everything down except for the..." Rin trailed off and her complexion deepened into that of a strawberry, "...I don't know which swimsuit to take..."

InuYasha snorted with laughter and Kagome glared daggers at him, then smiled at Rin, "I'll help you choose."

Rin beamed, "Thank you, Kagome-sa...I'm mean, Kagome!"

Rin led Kagome into her neat little bedroom and rifled through her wardrobe before coming out with the swimsuits she owned; a pink and green patterned one-piece paired with a green wrap, an orange tankini put together with a fiery red wrap, and a black strapless bikini accompanied by a black and silver wrap around the waist.

"How about this one?" asked Rin, giggling nervously as she raised the one-piece. It concealed most of her slim figure and drew attention away from her virtually flat chest. A friend had once joked, 'You're as flat as a textbook cover, Rin!' Not funny. She was a B-cup. That wasn't that flat!

Kagome wrinkled her nose and shook her head, "No, that will make you look like a thirteen year old girl!" Rin bawled inwardly. The one-piece was her safest zone. The other two had been gifts from her dazzling foster mother...who had breasts! Even the tankini promoted an ample bust!

"Uh...then...which one?" asked Rin reluctantly. She shot a hateful look at the black bikini. It was basically a tiny scrap of cloth held together at her back by a few flimsy latches. The wrap was gorgeous though; silky black fabric patterned with silver. She had a silver crescent moon necklace that would go perfectly with it and even a pair of matching earrings, also silver nail polish to accentuate the look...WAIT! Was she actually considering the black one? NOOOO! NEVER!

Kagome gestured at the black one, "That one is perfect. It'll show off your pretty figure!" NOOOO! WHY? Rin hung her head and groaned.

"Kagome," she began desperately.

"No, Rin," interrupted Kagome playfully. "The black one is perfect for you!"

Rin sighed but something told her that once Kagome decided on something, she would not budge.

"Now I need your help, Rin," said Kagome with a frown. "I'm kind of scared to wear a swimsuit because I'm pregnant. You obviously can't tell yet but, that doesn't change the fact that I still feel huge down here." She patted her flat belly dramatically and giggled.

Rin smothered a smile and forced herself to look serious, "Well, you still have to wear a swimsuit!" She picked up the tankini and matching wrap and handed it to Kagome, "This is perfect for you. It'll show off your pretty skin tone." She mocked Kagome's previous tone with a grin.

"Rin..." Kagome began, now mocking Rin.

"No, Kagome," interrupted Rin before bursting into a fit of giggles, Kagome followed with a snort and soon, the two women were rolling around on Rin's bed in fits of laughter.

"But seriously," said Kagome breathlessly. "May I borrow your tankini?"

Rin smiled kindly, "Of course!" The women pulled themselves off the bed and Rin handed Kagome the swimsuit.

"Well, I think it's about time InuYasha and I hit the road," said Kagome with a small half-smile. "Make sure to get plenty of rest and get off to an early start tomorrow. You, me, InuYasha, and Oniisama are supposed to get there two hours before the guests show up to make sure everything is in order."

Rin nodded, "Thanks for reminding me!"

"No problem! INUYASHA! GET THE CAR READY, WE'RE HEADING HOME!" Kagome hollered from the bedroom.

There was a tiny shuffle and a few minutes later, a car horn was blasting impatiently. Kagome gave Rin a quick hug and flew out the door. They pulled away with a loud screech and Rin pressed her fingers to her lids, as if warding off a very bright light. Tomorrow would be a loooong and tiring day. On the bright side, she had made friends with Kagome and to be honest, she was even a little excited about seeing Sesshomaru. Shirtless. Rin tried not to drool as she changed into her pajamas and slipped into bed.

The irritating drone of her alarm clock jolted Rin awake. It was 5 am, it would take Rin two hours to get to the beach. Sigh. She took a quick shower and chose a beautiful sleeveless white sundress that she paired with elegant heels with straps. She curled her hair till it fell in loose chocolate ringlets past her shoulders. Her face was decorated with the slightest hint of eye liner, blush, and soft pink lipstick. She shoved her black swimsuit into her suitcase regretfully before stepping out of the house.

Kohaku came out of his apartment at the same time as Rin, dressed for work. His eyes widened slightly at her appearance, "Wow, Rin. You look beautiful! Where are you headed?"

Rin beamed at the compliment, "The company party down at the Taisho Company's private beaches. Are you going to work?"

Kohaku chuckled and shook his head, "No, I'm going to a job interview."

"Oh! Well, good luck, Kohaku-san!" she said before flying down the stairs. Kohaku waved after her.

Rin loaded her suitcase into the back and headed towards Starbucks. Today, instead of waiting in a line that lasted forever, the people parted with annoyed huffs and Rin was able to fetch her regular along with a scone for breakfast in record time.

Rin arrived at the beaches without incident and was greeted by a smiling Kagome in a frilly sundress, "Hi, Rin! Wow, you look really pretty! Oniisama isn't here yet, come have a look at the decorations!" Kagome slipped her arm into Rin's and began hauling her into the beach house (Rin doubted you could call it that, it was too enormous and too elegant to be a beach house) while chattering excitedly about the beautiful, white, sandy beaches that surrounded them.

"Wait! Kagome! What about my suitcase?" Rin protested weakly.

Kagome waved away her concerns, "Don't worry! The valets will take your luggage to the hotel and send it to your room. They'll take care of your car, too. Right now, it's more important for you to see these decorations and the food..." Rin allowed herself to be dragged around the beach house. Everything seemed perfect. Rin voiced her opinions and soon found herself in a chair, clutching a glass of cold water. Waiters buzzed around the house like busy bees.

Sitting down gave Rin a few seconds to study the beach house. It was huge! The floors were polished hardwood and the walls seemed to be made of bamboo. There were a few elegant windows with white frames and French doors. There was a low stage in the front of the room and the decorations were simple; dozens and dozens of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers Rin had ever seen. The tables and chairs were elegant yet, seemed somewhat relaxed. The tables were circular and the chairs had plush cushions on them.

Rin downed the water, suddenly grateful for the AC in the house. It was sweltering outside! She stood and handed her glass to a passing waiter before heading towards Kagome, who was arguing with InuYasha about something.

"No way, wench." Rin heard InuYasha say once she was within earshot.

"Why not?" asked Kagome with a glare."

"'Cause clubs are no place for pregnant women!" hollered InuYasha.

"And how would you know where a place for pregnant women would be?" shot back Kagome angrily.

"I just do."

"I'm going whether you like it or not, you miserable dog!"

"You are not going!"

"Yes I am!"

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am!"

Rin turned on her heel, this was an argument she did not want to become involved in. That night, the party guests were going to a club in town to party. It was obvious that InuYasha did not want his pregnant mate to be involved in all the drinking, dancing, and screaming but, Kagome would hear none of it.

Rin raced away from the bickering just in time to see Sesshomaru step into the house. Rin's spirits lifted and she could not keep the smile from her face...until she saw the lovely Inuyoukai woman on Sesshomaru's arm.

I really enjoyed writing this chapter. Especially at the Rin/Kagome bonding part! :'D

I'm sorry about the bad ending! *dodges flying pencil*

I'll give you a hint about mysterious Miss Inuyoukai though: You won't like her. *dodges another pencil*

X'DD

I hope you liked it!

Remember to review, my lovely SessxRin fans!
