Waiting for You
Chrysolite Heart
Thanks so much for the reviews guys, I'm so glad you guys are enjoying this story, I didn't actually expect so many!
MadeNew – You completely read my mind, I'm definitely going to have Sayo adopted but I can't say buy who or when yet because that would just spoil everything. LOL Thanks for your reviews! It's great to have your support with this story too!
I-Elli – You were my very first reviewer and your opinion counts as a lot for me, unfortunately the majority voted against you for having Kagome as the bad character or not and all but I still appreciate your reviews!
Superheroxnerd – You were right about Rin's statement as you will find out when you start to read! Good prediction! Yes, I thought Kagura would play the part I'm considering her for very well too, I'm glad you agree! Thank-you for your reviews!
ColdKikyo – You're everywhere! You must find it hard reviewing for so many people but I'm glad you dropped by to check out my story…just like all my other ones but still! Thanks a ton for the review!
SoulRaker – A Sess & Kik fan! So glad to meet you! You're totally right, there aren't a lot of Sesshomaru and Kikyou fanfictions out there but I plan to change that…eventually. Thanks for your reviews!
Alright, well then, on with the story! LOL
Chapter 4
All of the hands shot up at this comment. Kikyou was beyond flattered. After a few more minutes the game ended. Ayame suggested the children go outside onto the playground and play tag or Ground Hog. The children agreed and went outside. Kikyou and Ayame sat on the bench together watching the children play. Rin was 'it'. Kikyou and Ayame watched the children out of the corner of their eyes while Kikyou explained about Rin.
"Oh, well it was nice of you to take her in then," Ayame said after a pause.
"She's sweet," Kikyou said, referring to Rin.
"I have to say, you have a heart of gold Kikyou, I'll never understand you," Ayame told her. Kikyou laughed.
"You would understand if you had been in my shoes," Kikyou replied.
"Actually you're a
size smaller than I am," Ayame joked. Kikyou rolled her eyes.
"Ayame!" she cried. Ayame laughed.
"Anyway, so now you have to find her father, huh?" Ayame said. Kikyou nodded. "Poor girl, it must have been hard growing up without a mother," Ayame observed. Kikyou nodded again.
"I feel sorry for her," Kikyou agreed. "She's such a sweet child,"
"You know I was thinking about what she said while they were playing that game," Ayame said thoughtfully. Kikyou raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?" Kikyou asked curiously.
"You would really make a great mother," Ayame answered truthfully. Kikyou laughed.
"Yes, except I need to fall in love and get married before I can have a child, besides all the kids here are like my own kids," Kikyou told Ayame.
"I understand how devoted you are to them, but you know having your own child is a completely different feeling," Ayame explained. Kikyou shook her head.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Kikyou replied. Ayame shrugged.
"You'll understand one day," Ayame said.
Later on in this afternoon, Kikyou took Rin back to her house.
"Did you have fun today?" Kikyou asked, watching the road. Rin nodded eagerly.
"Everyone was so nice to me, I've never had so many friends," Rin told Kikyou. "Especially Sayo, Kaede, Kohaku and Shippou," Rin added. Kikyou nodded and smiled.
"That's good, I think they liked you too," Kikyou said.
"Really?" Rin asked. Kikyou nodded again.
"I'm sure they did," Kikyou answered.
"Can we go back there some time?" Rin asked happily.
"Of course we can, but when we get back I'm going to have to inform the police about you," Kikyou told Rin. Rin nodded sadly.
"I hope they don't take me away," Rin said. Kikyou shook her head.
"I'm sure they won't, I'll ask them to let you stay with me until your dad comes to find you," Kikyou told Rin. Rin smiled.
"Yay, I like being with you Ms. Kikyou, it's like having a mother," Rin said. Kikyou glanced at Rin to make sure she was ok.
"I like being with you too, Rin," Kikyou admitted.
"Is it like having a daughter?" Rin asked. Kikyou remained silent, Rin didn't pry any further. "Do you have a boyfriend, Kikyou?" Kikyou laughed at the randomness of the question.
"No, why?" Kikyou replied.
"Oh, well…my dad doesn't have a girlfriend either," Rin said hesitantly. Kikyou had to resist the urge to laugh again. Her instinct was telling her that Rin was trying to set her up with her father. Oh yeah, I have to rely on a 7-year old to hook me up with a guy…nice going Kikyou she thought to herself.
"Well, your dad sounds like a nice person, I'm sure he'll find a good person soon," Kikyou told the small girl. Rin looked at Kikyou in curiosity.
"How do you know my dad's a nice person?" she challenged. Kikyou shrugged.
"I'm not sure, I suppose I guessed," Kikyou admitted. Rin sighed beside her.
"My dad really is a nice person but he's always bringing home really bad women," Rin told Kikyou. Kikyou glanced at Rin in surprise, not sure if she should let Rin tell her this. "Anyway, most of those girls are usually really nice to my dad but then when they figure out about me they always dump him," Rin continued. This time Kikyou blinked back some tears. What a horrible thing to go through…
"I see," Kikyou replied.
"Would you go out on a date with my dad?" Rin asked hopefully. Kikyou diverted her attention to the road.
"I don't know Rin, I haven't even met your father yet," Kikyou responded.
"You'll like him, he's sort of hard to get through to at first but once you crack his outer shell he's a real softie," Rin assured Kikyou. Kikyou sighed.
"Well, I'll think about it," Kikyou responded, not wanting to crush the young girl's feelings. Rin smiled. "Why don't you get some sleep, we're not there yet," Kikyou suggested to Rin. Rin nodded in agreement.
"Ok, I'm really tired anyway. If you and my dad get married that means you'll be my mom, right?" Rin asked, getting comfortable in the seat. Kikyou nodded.
"Yes, I guess it would mean that," Kikyou replied.
"That's good, I always wanted a mom just like you," Rin told Kikyou and with that fell into a deep sleep.
A/N
More Rin cuteness. LOL Anyhow, so now Rin has expressed the fact that she wants Kikyou to go out on a date with her dad…only problem is Kikyou's never even met Sesshomaru! Be prepared, I'm planning to make a Kikyou and Sesshomaru encounter soon. And thank-you for the opinions, most of you voted against having Kagome as the bad character in the story (me too) so I'll see if I can maybe fit her in somewhere else. So yeah, likely encounter between Sesshomaru and Kikyou in the next chapter and Sango appears in the next chapter too for all you Sango-fans! Thx for the reviews…and don't stop!
