911 operator: "911, what's your emergency?"

Woman: "M-my name is R-rin Ma-matsumoto. I work i-in the Taisho Incorporated Building. There a-are men with g-guns and masks." words turn into sobs "T-they already k-killed some of the o-other employees. I d-don't know what to d-do!"

911 operator: "Ma'am help is on the way. I need you to try to breath and calm down. I'm going to have you stay on the phone ok?"

A scream and the sound of a struggle and gunshots rang through the phone. Then the line went dead…


Rin slowly opened her eyes and tried to take in the scene she was witnessing. She watched as one of the shooters shot Mr. Han, one of the janitors and nicest people Rin knows. Once she saw that all the shooters were gone she began to feel her body for any injuries. She had a gunshot wound to her stomach and her right leg had a long cut going down the side of it.

"Alright Rin, what we aren't going to do is weep and wallow until we pass out from blood loss. We have to get to Sesshomaru." She coughed some, "Now get your lazy ass up!"

This was Rin's way of forcing herself to be brave. She struggled but she finally made it on her feet and headed in the direction of the elevator. Which just so happened to be in the same direction of Mr. Han's body. She decided that she wasn't going to think about it until she got to the elevator. Right now she had to focus on actually getting to the elevator. 5 minutes later she finally made it. As she waited for the elevator to come she glanced over to Mr. Hans body doing her best to keep in all her tears.

Right before the elevator a very important thought crossed her mind… How was she going to get up to the top floors without her access key? Who ever had attacked her took her key card that allowed her to go to all the upper levels. Only a few people had them and Mr. Hans was one of those people. She could see the card sticking out of hi pocket slightly. Taking in a deep breath she limped over to his body and slowly reached down to grab the key card. Holding back the tears was a struggle, but Rin knew now was not the time for it. She quickly made her way on to the elevator, well as quickly as she could, and used the blood stained keycard to get to the top floor where she knew Sesshomaru was, or at least she prayed he was up their alive and kicking some gunmen ass!

Finally she made it to the top floor and it was quiet...extremely quiet. The first thing she did was run (limp) to the janitor's closet and grabbed the first aid kit and began to patch herself up the best of her ability.

"Alright Rin, we need a weapon. What can we use? It's a fucking janitor's closet in a demon building! There has to be something I can use." talking to herself seemed to be helping her get through this moment.

By the grace of God there was a gun! It was one of the state of the art handguns used against demons when they went wild and started attack. The mag was full and there was extra ammo. Now Rin had only used a gun once before, but for this she can definitely pretend that she'd been using one for years.

She creeped to Sesshomaru's office door. Movement could be heard, but that was it. After a few quick deep breaths, she kicked the door open with good leg only to realize that there was nothing and no one to shoot. All the gunmen were dead on the floor and Sesshomaru was sitting at his desk on the phone discussing what happened with someone who was very angry.

Sesshomaru was staring her down as he continued his conversation. His eyes went from her blood stained shirt to her injured leg and back to her eyes. Rin was sure if she was hallucinating from the major loss of blood or if Sesshomaru's eyes actually flashed red from looking at her wounds, either way she was hoping the he planned on catching her when she began to fall because she could feel herself losing consciouness. Just as she thought he would, Sesshomaru caught her as she began to fall to the ground. The next thing she remembers was waking up in a hospital room with Sesshomaru and his….twin brothers?

"Sess…"

All eyes were on her and she suddenly didn't want to ask for the water she so desperately needed and wanted. Sesshomaru was soon next to her holding a glass with a straw to her lips.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Sore and sleepy. What happened after -

"After you bust through my office door with a gun and a very deteremined look on your face." he said jokingly.

Rin blushed a little and pouted childishly. "Shutup! I was just trying to make sure your ass was ok."

Sesshomaru chuckled, which was obviously not something that he did often around his...twin brother?

"Ok who are they? Because you all look amazingly alike and you never told me that you were a triplet. I'm going to assume you're a triplet."

Now all three of them were laughing.

"Feh, I'm the Ice Queen's brother and this is our dad." The one with the adorable doggy ears said.

"Inuyasha, "Feh" is not a real word. It's nice to finally meet you Rin Matsumato. I am Inutaisho, Ruler of the Western Lands. I've heard many great things about you from Sesshomaru here. He speaks highly of you."

Rin laughed and looked at Sesshomaru while poking him. "You speak highly of me to your dad? You should pay me more too if that's the case."

"Well you are due for a bonus. If you'd go ahead and marry me money would be the least of your worries."

The room went quiet, except for the sounds of Inuyasha choking on his ramen. Where did the ramen even come from? That's not the point! Did Sesshomaru just propose?!

"Son, is that a proposal?"

"It is." His eyes never left Rin.

"We're back!"

Two women with long black hair came in bearing flowers, balloons, and get well cards. They even brought a few teddy bears with them.

"So…. what did we miss? Because we obviously missed something pretty big." the women carrying the flowers said.

"Sesshomaru proposed!" Inuyasha said as he was laughing and began to choke again on his ramen.

The two women squealed with joy and started talking of wedding plans. Rin was still trying to process what was happening. She didn't even know what happened to her medically. She looked from Sesshomaru, to his father, to his choking brother, to the two women, and back to Sesshomaru.

"You did this on purpose didn't you?" she asked him.

"Did what on purpose?"

"The whole shoot out had have been staged so that way you could propose to me while I'm overwhelmed by everything that's happened so that way I'd be more prone to saying yes. Right?"

"Rin none of that was staged or faked. All of those things did happen.." Sesshomaru said to her softly as he traced the shapes on the back of her hand.

"So….so Mr. Han, he's really...dead?"

"...Yes Rin, he is."

No one was talking. The room was dead silent. Rin didn't want to cry in front of a bunch of people and Sesshomaru, who obviously knows her better than she knows herself, had everyone leave the room. The tears didn't come out all the way at first. It started off with just a few drops and then the waterfalls came rushing. Sesshomaru had only ever seen Rin like this once and it was on the anniversary of her families death. She told him that she usually doesn't cry during that time, but that day was extremely similar to the actual day of their passing, not to mention there was a horrible thunderstorm that night. He stayed with her the whole night. They didn't sleep. They simply stayed up talking and watching murder films. Her favorite was the Michael Myers series.

Sesshomaru found it a bit strange that she enjoyed watching those types of movies considering the fact that her family was murdered, but she told him that the difference is that one is real and one is fake.
