CHAPTER 4

SESSHOMARU POV

I was in the band room writing a new song while the guys sat around me and helped me put words in once in a while when I smelled Strawberries mixed with vanilla, it had to be Rin because no other girl in Tokyo smelled that good. It also smelled liked her sisters were with her so they must have decided to stay here for a couple of days.

"Inyasha must have smelt Kagome by then because he sat up as soon as he smelled her and suddenly darted from the room like a lost puppy, he certainly looked like one and I bet he didn't even realize it. He's always denying that he doesn't like her but even my parents know that their supposed to be future mates… He's just so stupid he doesn't know it yet.

I slowly stood up and told Miroku and Kouga they were all here, Miroku's face lit up at the thought of Sango staying a couple of nights here and Kouga grinned and said that this would be a couple of fun days. Perverts, we all walked downstairs and as soon as I saw Rin my eyes narrowed, not at her, but because she was soaking wet and crying, though the dress did her really well, it was almost see through, at least for a demons eyes, thank god Miroku won't see anything, and her really tiny frame was shivering. I wanted to yell at my dad and ask him why he was just standing there with Izayoi and keeping the girls in those cold, wet clothes until I realized they were talking. So I continued down the stairs until I reached the rest of the guys. Then the girls turned to us and they all looked like they had been crying and I could feel as the guys got the same protective feeling of them as soon as they saw each of the girls faces and the current dressing.

" Dad can we at least get the girls in warm, DRY clothing before you decide to have a 2 hour long conversation with them?" I said with narrowed eyes at him, clenching my fist.

He just looked at me with an amused expression that lets me know he had planned this, just to see how protective I was of Rin and I just gave him what he wanted. Damn him.

" Of course son, girls the guys will escort you to your rooms and when your done come down and we will have a family supper, okay?"

Ayames face lit up when he said 'family dinner' and she broke out in a smile and said,

" Really? We haven't had a family dinner in so long!"

Sango then gave a sad smile to Rin and Kagome and softly grabbed Ayame and started to walk up the stair with the girls behind her and us following along.

" I feel really bad for treating the girls like we do at school now.. L" said Kouga his eyes never leaving Ayames frame.

"Yeah but start it most of the time anyways so it's not completely our fault." Inuyasha then said.

Miroku spoke next saying the last thing I had expected, " Well do guys ever think that maybe their alone, I mean think about it they have each other, but no friends, maybe 2 or 3, and they have to live in a huge house alone. Did you ever consider that?" He said with a look of disbelief on his face.

I was about to answer when I realized we had reached the top of the stairs then had to go to their separate bedrooms, me taking Rin to hers, Miroku taking Sango to hers, Kouga taking Ayame, and Inuyasha taking Kagome.

I gently put my hand on the small of Rin's back and led her to her room, specifically designed by her, same as the other girls, their rooms consisted mostly of the same things except with different colors each.

Rin's room had blue and silver walls, a huge bed on the right side that took up the entire wall. She had Blue comforters with sliver linen and pillows, and silver drapes that went around her bed. She has her own desk With a white laptop and blue wheelie chair, two elegant dressers, both filled to their max with beautiful kimonos, ball gown dresses and regular clothes, again courtesy of my dear step mother. She can't resist taking the girls on 9 hour shopping trips every time they come over. And also a grand piano on the left side of the room.

I was brought out of my thinking when Rin suddenly rapped her small arms around my neck and put her head on my chest, my eyes widened slightly, not even realizing I, by instinct, put my strong arms around her small waist as she whispered to me.

" Thanks a lot Sesshomaru, I feel like you're the only person who understands what we're going through right now."

I didn't even care that she was getting my clothes wet too as she hugged me.

" It's alright Rin. You guys can stay as long as you all want." I said with a blank face and a small smile.

Not even realizing till now I had slightly picked her up off the ground, I gently set her down and then realized she only came up to my chest. I started to chuckle lightly when a look of disbelief crossed her face.

" What are you laughing at?" She said

"I just realized how short you are." I said with a smirk

She punched my chest playfully but surprisingly hard when she pushed me out of her room and shut the door to change. I walked away still chucking not realizing yet that close to the same thing had happened in all of the other rooms now occupied, except for a loud slap that echoed through the house, and a girl screaming "HENTAI!"

After we all had dinner the girls thanked my parents and all walked upstairs, us all thinking they were going to bed but as we followed them upstairs they went to the band room at the end of the hall. The guys following me we listened quietly at the door.

RIN POV

I sat down in one of the soft chairs and asked the girls if they wanted to play some songs, not even realizing that the boys were listening in by the door. They all agreed so we stood up and got the instruments ready all silently agreeing on the 1st song we were going to do

Kagome started to softly play the guitar

Rin

Your not alone, together we stand, I'll be by your side

You know I'll take your hand, when it gets cold

And it feels like the end, there's no place to go, you know I won't give in

Inutaisho and Izayoi were silently listening to Rins voice behind the boys,

No I wont give in,

They could hear as Ayame put her heart into the drums at that point

Keep holding on… Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Just stay strong, cause you know I'm here for you, here for you

The girls started to sing backup

There's nothing you could say, nothing you could do,

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on.. Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away, I wish you were here, before it's too late this could all disappear

Before the doors close, and it comes to an end, with you by my side

I will fight and defend, I'll fight and defend, Yeahhh

REPEAT CHORUS

The boys, Izayoi and Inutaisho slowly walked into the room and sat down on the couch while the girls surprisingly kept playing but the girls eyes were now all watching one of the guys.

Rin

Here me when I say I believe, nothings going to change, nothings going to change destiny

Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da, la da da da

REPEAT CHORUS

Keep holding on…

The only sound was Izayoi saying sing another song, and the boys (well except Sesshomaru) quietly laughing.
