Change of Plans!
Alright another chapter for all of you. I did plan to update sooner but I was busy taking care of my mom who has been sick. So that time gave me a good layout of how I want this chapter to go and if it goes the way I want it too then it should be a long chapter. :) So enjoy! Sorry chapter had to come down because I made a small mistake and it bugged me. Monday was changed to Saturday. Sorry everyone!
I made it too Sesshomaru's house just in time to see him coming down the stairs straightening out his tie. I quickly put my purse down and the hung my coat up. "Are you going into work early? If I had known I would..." Sesshomaru held his hand up to silents me. I shut my mouth and waited for him to speak.
"I thought we could have breakfast together." He said to me. I was a little taken back by this but nodded all the same. We made our way to the kitchen and I was heading to the fridge when Sesshomaru spoke up. "Just cereal." He said to me. I nodded and grabbed the milk. Sesshomaru got the cereal and bowls. I grabbed the spoons and we both sat down.
Sesshomaru poured himself his cereal and took a few bites and then looked up at me. "What is the matter?" He asked me. I smiled and looked at the cereal he had. "Well my friend tells me the way I eat my cereal is gross and that I shouldn't eat cereal in front of others." I said with a smile. Sesshomaru put his spoon down and raised and eyebrow at me. "Rin, I can't see how cereal can be gross to eat. Now eat something before I force you too." He said and then waited until I made me a bowl.
I sighed at him and then started to pour the three cereals into my bowl and then poured the milk. I found that Sesshomaru was still staring at me as I made the bowl. "How is any of that good?" He asked me. I sighed and then ignored him as I ate my cereal. After a few bites more Sesshomaru was looking at me again. I put my spoon down and went to get another bite but Sesshomaru had stolen my bowl.
"What? Really you couldn't have just made your own bowl?" I asked as he took a bite of my cereal and then another and another. I tried to reach for it but Sesshomaru lightly slapped my hand away and handed me his bowl. I sighed and then mixed it up like I did the first one and then started to eat. "Men" I said with a giggle.
After breakfast I went to go get Sesshomaru's laptop bag and came back down. He already had his coat on and was grabbing his keys. "Rin there is no list today you will be working at the office if you have to leave you will be using my car." He said and then took his laptop bag. He then held out my coat for me.
We loaded up in his car and drove to his office. The silents was so nice and wasn't awkward like most car rides are. We made it to the office in fifteen minutes. We made it through the office with everyone watching us. I noticed four men who usually are around Sesshomaru. They all smiled at me and waved, I smiled back and then entered the office with Sesshomaru.
"I need you in here filing these. I also need you to pull a file for me." He said as he handed me the files. I pointed to the cabinets in his office and he nodded and I then began my work. "Also I have a meeting you may be present for but you may also leave if you do not wish to be board. I nodded and then went about my task.
I was finished with my task at fifteen til ten. Sesshomaru had been busy making phone calls during that time. Finally at ten after ten the Sesshomaru's colleagues came in for the meeting. I pulled the file Sesshomaru need for his meeting and then sat in a corner reading a book that I carry around.
Sesshomaru's Point of View
Rin had done her job as told and did it very well. I was impressed with the way she worked meaning I would be keeping her around. My cell went off and when I went to grab it at my waist it wasn't there. "Hello Mr. Toshiro's office." I heard Rin say quietly. I turned around and seen her taking a message and then hang up.
Through out the meeting I would find myself pausing to hear her speak on the phone. I felt like an idiot every time I hear her on the phone. I was about to tell them about a project that we would have to work extra hard on when Rin interrupted me. "Sorry but it's almost twelve-thirty. Maybe lunch?" She offered.
All the men were on board with her. "I can make a run for lunch if you like?" She said to me. I took a moment and told them that we were postponing the meeting until a later time. We all headed out of the office to get fresh air and new surroundings. As we walked too the cafe Rin was delivering the messages she took during the meeting. "Dry cleaners have your tux and your car is due for an upgrade." She said to me. "Do I need to go get your tux for you?" She asked me. "No we can pick it up after work." I answered her and she nodded to me.
The others at the table encouraged Rin to join the conversation which she did so with out a problem. After lunch we all made it back to the office where we finished the work. At five-thirty I found Rin sitting on the floor filing. "Ready?" I asked her. She looked up at me and closed the drawer. I helped her up off the floor and handed her, her coat. "Thank you." She said and then we made our way out of the office. "Hungry?" I asked her.
Rin nodded and smiled at me. I made a turn to go to the dry cleaners. Rin made a quick trip inside and grabbed my tux. After that I drove us to a restaurant that knew me very well. "My treat." I told her. Rin smiled and then we exited the car and went to the entrance of the restaurant. I gave the valet my keys and then we went inside and got a table. Rin and I were just chatting about work when our food arrived.
I ordered a rare streak and Rin to my surprise ordered fried chicken. "What impressed that a girl like me doesn't starve herself to keep this figure?" She asked me. I couldn't help but chuckle. "A little. Most woman tend to want to starve themselves because don't feel pretty enough." I told her. Rin nodded and then smiled. "Well no worries for me. I have always been encouraged and never discouraged by others." She said with that radiant smile of her's.
"So when do you leave for your brother's wedding?" She asked me. I sighed knowing I had to go put up with that pup. "We leave next Wednesday and will be returning the following Saturday." I said to her. Rin seemed puzzled and I cleared my throat. "I will need your help on this trip." I said to her and she nodded. "I will need you at my house at four in the morning so we can be on the plane at six. It will be cold where we are going so pack for cold weather." I said to her.
"What is your family like?" She asked me. I took a moment and thought about how to describe my family. "My brother is a pain in the ass. My father can be a push over but more to woman then men. So my mom gets almost everything she wants when she wants." I said to her and she giggled. "What is your family like?" I asked her.
Rin's smiled faltered a little and then it brightened back up. "Well my Dad is like you in a few ways. Very serious and orderly. My mom she loves to bake and be a home mom. Always there when I need someone to talk too. I have two older brothers who are so very protective of me. Wouldn't have it any other way though." She said with a even brighter smile. "Sound's like an interesting family." I said to her. She giggled and then smiled bigger.
We finished our meal and then made our way out to the car. I drove her back to my home and we spoke once more before she left herself. "Rin the rest of this week and next I will have you working at the office." I said to her. Rin nodded and then made her way home. All of sudden the life that was in this house is gone.
Rin's Point of View
I made it home to find Sango running around like a chicken with her head cut off. "She trying to cook again Miroku?" I asked him as I entered the kitchen. Sango stopped dead in her tracks and looked at me with "HELP ME" look and so I shoved her out of the way and took control.
Sango sat at the table and watched as I finished the meal Sango tried to cook. Both Miroku and she thanked me and told me that I must at least join them so I did. "So Rin that lead I had was no help. Just telling me of other things that happened with in the two weeks of her death." Sango told me. I nodded and frowned a little.
"Thanks for your help anyway." I said to Sango and then got up to go to bed when I saw Sango's notes. "Hey Sango this accident here." I turned to face her. Sango looked up and then frowned herself. "Yeah really sad apartment building caught on fire." She said and then went back to eating. "But this here about infants." I said to her. Sango nodded. "Yeah this couple just got their child back and then the fire happened. Only the husband lived. So tragic." She said and then looked away.
I looked at the new notes and then at Sango. "Do you mind if I borrow these notes?" I asked her. "Sure but not sure what you are going to learn that I didn't." She said to me. I sighed. "Yeah but no harm done looking into it more." I said to her. She nodded and then I went to my room to look over Sango's new findings.
"So weird." I said to myself and grabbed my laptop and started to look into the fire that occurred around the time of Sesshomaru's wife Kagura's death. "One infant wasn't claimed as a child that lived in the apartment. In fact they can't even locate where this child was even born. The other belong to this couple who were known as drug dealers. "WOW! That poor child." I said to myself and then paused. "No it can't be!" I yelled causing both Sango and Miroku barging in.
Yep that's right there is where this chapter ends. Sorry but hey it is longer then that last three. :) Also to Taraah36 please stop asking me such deep and meaningful questions. They make it hard not to tell you things. :p Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
