Yes, I know I said I won't be posting soon, but seriously, everytime I thought I'd study, this story came into my mind and lots of ideas were stuck in my mind, so I just had to write them down. But, it got way longer than I had expected. But, after this don't expect another chapter for a month.
Oh, and my previous chapter, I'm glad you people liked it, I really wasn't sure about it. Thankyou all for reviewing.
"Argh why, why did everyone had to go and leave me?" Rin asked to no one.
"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru asked. "How can you be alone when I'm here."
It was a simple question and nothing out of the ordinary, but suddenly Rin felt her face heating.
"I, I m... mean everyone went somewhere and they must be having fun, but I'm stuck with you." Rin said and as soon as those words came out she wanted to eat those words back.
"You mean to say I'm no fun?" Sesshomaru asked, amused.
"Um, uh um... Yes." Rin said and mentally punched herself.
Sesshomaru smirked. Rin gulped. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, but still she was a bit scared.
"Will you explain to me what fun is for you?" Sesshomaru asked. Rin's throat was dry now and she failed to see the amusement in his eyes, since she was looking at her feet which seemed so interesting to her suddenly.
But suddenly Rin's face changed. 'What am I doing? This is Sesshomaru. Why am I acting like this infront of him? I can just make him irritated and he'll just leave this conversation. Or maybe.' Rin smiled.
"Fun is when mom and I go shopping, fun is when dad let's me do whatever I want to, fun is when Inuyasha plays with me and let's me win every game, fun is when Haku-kun and I watch movies together alone, fun is when Byakuya surprises me with lots of gifts, fun is..." Rin stopped, she really had no idea what else to say. She didn't even think she'd have to say all of these. She had thought Sesshomaru would just leave halfway through. But Rin had forgotten about Sesshomaru's level of patience.
But what Rin didn't know was this had nothing to do with Sesshomaru's patience. He was really enjoing it. Now, when Rin stopped Sesshomaru raised one of his eyebrows.
"Um, ahh, yeah I have to go get ready for Byakuya's party." Rin said turning away.
"You still have more than half a day." Sesshomaru said blankly.
"Still, I'll go freshen up." Rin said hurrying to her room. Once she reached there she hurriedly closed her door and sighed, 'What was happening to her? Why was she acting that way? 'She then got ready to take a bath. As the waters dropped on her skin, she relaxed and Sesshomaru's face came in her mind, she smiled then stopped, 'What? Why was he in her mind even now?' Rin thought.
After she had finished her bathing she, wore her casual dress and started to choose what dress to wear tonight, but she was disturbed by a knock on her door.
"Come in." Rin sang happily.
From the door Sesshomaru came inside, Rin turned to see who had come then she freezed, she hadn't expected him. He was walking towards her. He had changed already and he looked elegant as always.
"Rin, get changed." Sesshomaru said.
"Why?" Rin asked.
"Just do as I say." Sesshomaru stated blankly.
"Don't wanna." Rin replied sticking out her tongue at him.
"Okay, then follow me." Sesshomaru said.
Rin was now curious, so damn curious, 'What was he upto?' She thought to herself. He wouldn't give up so easily, but he just easily accepted it this time. She then quietly followed him. He then took her to the gym, then passed through it and got to the game room and looked at her.
"What game do you wanna play?" He asked.
"What?" Rin asked totally surprised.
"I'm sure, you heard me." Sesshomaru said.
"Um, yeah I did, but why?" Rin asked still not overcoming her surprise.
"I do not have any need to answer that Rin." Sesshomaru said.
"But.." Rin wanted to protest but then saw Sesshomaru's face and stopped. She knew he was not gonna tell her anything so she sighed, but she was not gonna let it be so easy and so she answered. "Basketball."
Sesshomaru smiled, he knew she was really good at it, Inuyasha being her teacher, but she had never been able to beat him, Sesshomaru unlike Inuyasha never let her win, he would easily win against her in any other game, but this one was a bit difficult than others. But that would be just fine for what he planned.
"Okay, I'll get the ball." Sesshomaru said and went to get the ball, when he came back Rin was stretching. Sesshomaru almost laughed, he could never get used to that little girl ever doing any kind of exercise.
"Just know I'm not gonna go easy on you, Sesshomaru." Rin said smiling.
"You better not." Sesshomaru said and they begun the game. Sesshomaru easily earned three points as soon as they began. But Rin was not holding back either.
Now, Rin was really tired. Only last quarter was left, Sesshomaru was leading by 2 points. It was getting difficult for Rin to breathe, but she still was in the game. As they started playing again, Sesshomaru was just dribbling , he missed several baskets, and in final minutes, Rin scored a three pointer.
Rin won, for the first time, Rin won against Sesshomaru and she was really happy. She went to him and said, "I don't know why did you do that but I'm really happy. Okay, I guess I got to bath again."
Sesshomaru said nothing and watched as she left. Then he took the ball again and started shooting and didn't miss any of them.
Rin was taking a bath and thinking, 'Why'd he do that? He purposefully missed so many baskets, Sesshomaru never misses any baskets, but today he looked like he was seriously playing the game, but he was just not playing as he would always. Usually he wins against both Inuyasha and me and even when we team up with Haku-kun. Really what has he got up his sleeves?'
When she got out of the bathroom, she was feeling really fresh. Then on the table she saw a note. It said, 'Get ready, we're going out.' It was Sesshomaru's beautiful handwriting. Rin smiled, suddenly she was really happy. Then she took out her clothes and wore them and soon she was ready. She got out of her room and went to the hall. Sesshomaru was there waiting for her, again he looked really fresh. Rin was now noticing how perfect he always was. They had lived together all their life and seeing each other daily, Rin had not noticed such things. She thought he looked normal, and if he looked beautiful, that was because he was a demon. But now, she was noticing he was way too perfect.
"You ready to go?" Sesshomaru asked, getting up from where he was sitting and going towards Rin.
Rin nodded, then asked, "Where are we going?" then she started following Sesshomaru who was heading towards the door.
"The mall." Sesshomaru said.
"The mall, Oh yayie, we're going to the ma.." Rin stopped suddenly, then narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously though he couldn't see. "Why are we going to the mall? You never take me to mall on your own consent."
Sesshomaru said nothing as he opened the passenger door of his car and Rin got in. Then he got around his car and got in. As Rin was buckling her seatbelt, the engine roared to life and the car started moving. As they were out of the front gate, Rin asked again, "Why are we going..."
Rin didn't have to repeat her question since Sesshomaru decided to answer her, "Fun." he said.
"What?" Rin asked confused.
"You told me a list of what was fun for you, so I'm just following it." Sesshomaru said.
"Oh, that's why you let me win before." Rin stated, realization dawning on her face.
"Hm, and also I was letting you do whatever you wanted to, I let you come play in your whatever you were wearing before." Sesshomaru said.
"Hey, you're making fun of me." Rin said and Sesshomaru smirked.
Rin frowned and didn't talk for a moment. Sesshomaru knew he didn't have to worry about it since, she was not really mad. And he was right, now, Rin started talking, and she was talking about everything. The person who just crossed the road, the tree which looked very old, what the cloud looked like.
When they reached the mall, Rin stopped talking for a moment, Sesshomaru parked his car in the underground parking lot, then they got out. Rin was really excited. Sesshomaru never took her anywhere like that. He did take her anywhere she wanted to. But, she didn't know what to make out of it, it felt different.
Then they walked inside the mall. Rin just walked excitedly, she looked all over the mall, first she wanted to check anything that would catch her eyes and then only go to the shops she often visited. She saw some dresses and then quickly grabbed Sesshomaru's arm and ran towards that shop. Rin took everything which captured her eyes for a little longer than a second. Then she got inside the trial room and Sesshomaru sat on a chair waiting patiently for Rin to come out, while all the girls attention were on him, Sesshomaru didn't seem to notice any of them. Then Rin got out wearing a sundress, she looked small and cute and innocent in that dress, he liked it, but on the outside, he looked as if he didn't care.
"So, how's this?"Rin asked and turned on her heels.
"Why do you ask me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What do you mean? When you come for shopping together, you gotta help choose the clothes to buy." Rin said stubbornly.
"Just take everything." Sesshomaru said not seeming so interesting.
The other girls around gasped, some were going "aww", some were burning Rin down with their glares and some were complainig to their boyfriend about them not being like him.
The salesgirl who was among the ones who were jealous came infront of Rin and said, "You look very small in it ma'am." her voice full of sarcasm, "and your breasts are too small, it's almost unnoticable." she said and looked at Sesshomaru with a seductive smile.
Sesshomaru looked as Rin blushed, "Oh, how can you say such thing in a public place? I'm sure you were like me when you were my age." Rin said trying to defend herself.
"Oh, I doubt I was so flat at any age." The salesgirl said confidently.
Now, Sesshomaru got up from where he was sitting. "Rin I told you to take all of them, you know I hate to repeat myself."
"But, she said, um, now, I don't want to buy it." Rin said blushing again.
"I told you, it's fine." Sesshomaru said looking straight at the salesgirl and she visibly shivered. "You look good so, take anything you want."
"Re... Really?" Rin asked and was blushing more now.
"And I don't think anyone can tell that you have small breasts, I will be the one to know about it since, I'm your fiancé." Sesshomaru said.
Now, Rin was totally red. The other girls gasped. The salesgirl too blushed.
Sesshomaru said nothing now, he didn't mean to act like that, but seeing Rin so uncomfortable just made him say anything he wanted. He was angry at himself. Then he saw Rin smile, her smile small at first then slowly it was full, and also with the blush lingering from earlier, she looked too cute. He was shocked at the way he had started to notice Rin.
"Okay then, I'll take everything." Rin told the same salesgirl.
"Ye...yes ma'am." She replied and went with the clothes to the counter.
Sesshomaru paid by his card, then they left. Now, Rin was entering every other shop and taking everything she liked. At one point she told Sesshomaru, "Ahh, you'll spoil me Sesshomaru." but the way she looked and the way she said that, it was obvious that she was already spoiled. And her eyes were twinkling so mischeviously, Sesshomaru just shook his head.
Sesshomaru had never felt so tired in his life, he had just followed Rin with the bags of stuffs, she had bought, little at first, but soon it was just too much. Finally Rin said, she was done. Then they went to a restaurant, Sesshomaru left Rin to put all the stuffs in the car, then when he came back he saw that a waiter was happily chatting with Rin. His anger sparked and he went to the table, the guy noticing a youkai coming towards them got nervous and start fidgetting.
"Um, is that all ma'am?" He asked as Sesshomaru sat down.
"Yes thank you." Rin said and smiled at him. Sesshomaru got more angry now.
"Ah, um, and you sir? What would you like to order?" The waiter asked nervously.
"Just water for me." He replied coldly without looking at him. The waiter gulped.
"Yes sir." He said and repeated the order and left.
"Sesshomaru, that was fun, you know we should do this often." Rin started. "I didn't know you liked to spoil me so much. Since you enjoy it I enjoy it too."
Sesshomaru almost shook his head, he really couldn't believe her. She was grinning widely now. Her grin getting wider and wider now. He narrowed his eyes, what was she up to. Then she took out a bag from underneath the table and gave it to him grinning more now.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Oh, just something I saw in one of the shop, when you went to put the bags I went and bought it for you." Rin replied.
Then he opened the bag and took out his gift. There was a perfume in it. Sesshomaru raised one of his eyebrows.
"Oh, when we entered the last shop, I smelled it, and it reminded me of you. It smells just like you, I don't know how but." Rin blushed and stopped. 'Why? Why am I feeling like this? I never feel like this around Sesshomaru." Rin thought.
Sesshomaru looked at her amused, she was blushing... Again. Rin had never been the one to be blushing like this. She was the one to be very scary, or one to be very manipulative, she could be anything but not shy and never blushing. Sesshomaru saw a new side of Rin and he was enjoing it very much. He liked this new Rin. He was starting to like the new Rin more and more.
The waiter came with the water and Rin's drink, and soon came with Rin's food. After she finished Sesshomaru paid the bill and they got out. Rin thought they'd be heading back home now, but Sesshomaru started going the other way.
"Where are you going?" Rin asked.
"Follow me." Sesshomaru said, but Rin skipped to where he was and walked beside him. Sesshomaru smiled, unnoticabely.
They were now standing outside the ticket counter for movies. Sesshomaru got two tickets and got in. There was still 10 minutes for the movie.
"Why are we here?" Rin asked. "We have to go to Byakuya's party also."
"I told you, just have fun." Sesshomaru said and hoped the conversation would get over at that, but Rin was just going on and on. Then soon the movie was starting and Rin finally kept quiet for a bit. Then again starting talking.
"Oh, this movie is good." Rin was saying. "I wanted to watch this movie." But halfway through Rin was asleep. Sesshomaru shook his head, 'Was there any movie which she had watched without falling asleep halfway through.'
Rin's head was now starting to go everywhere. He remembered the last time they had come for movies, Haku had been faster than him and had laid Rin's head on his shoulder. Sesshomaru frowned at that, then looked at Rin's sleeping face and he forgot everything else. He brought Rin's head towards him and placed it on his shoulder. Rin smiled in her dreams and her face was very peaceful. Sesshomaru smiled at that.
Then like always, just a little bit before the movie ended Rin woke up, she felt very comfortable, too comfortable. She took a deep breath, she got a slight soothing smell. Then finally she woke up and looked above, she could see silver hairs, then finally she woke up fully, then she jerked, making the demon look at her. She saw his face was very calm. Then she calmed down too.
"Why do you ever bother coming to watch a movie, when you always fall asleep halfway through?" Sesshomaru asked.
Rin blushed again, "Um, ah, I don't know." she said and looked away.
Sesshomaru smiled at that. Now, the movie was over, so when they were walking towards the exit. The crowd was just too huge and they were pushing Rin everywhere, Sesshomaru then grabbed her hand and walked. Rin looked at their hands and smiled. She didn't know the feeling, but she was loving this feeling. It was new to her and it was very exciting.
When they were out, Rin was very tired and there was only an hour and half left for Byakuya's party. So they headed home. Rin was very happy. She had fun today. Sesshomaru had done everything she had told was fun for her.
The maids got her stuffs from the car and got it to her room. Then Rin and Sesshomaru headed towards their own rooms. Rin took a refreshing bath and was getting ready. She was confused about what to wear, she had bought lots of clothes today, but she already had the ones which Naraku sent her just the day before. Rin had already decided on what to wear for the party, but now she was confused. She had a sudden urge to wear what Sesshomaru had bought for her. By the time Rin was fully ready, it was now half an hour away from the party time. Rin had worn a blue one shoulder long dress. She wanted to put some make up, but Izayoi had strictly said that Rin was not supposed to wear any make up. First reason being, Rin was not of age where she could put make up, Rin had argued a lot over it, but Izayoi had stuck with her no. And the second reason being that Rin was a natural sort of person, she had a natural beauty.
Rin got down to the hall, she had expected Sesshomaru to be there waiting for her, but he was not. She was a little dissapointed but she thought that since they were going to a party, he was taking more time getting ready, which was unlikely. But suddenly she felt something on her shoulder then her neck, she looked down, there was a blue pendant there, then she realized, it was a blue sapphire pendant with diamond studded, Sesshomaru had put it on her neck and now he turned her to face him.
Her face was full of shock and excitement, she was very happy. Sesshomaru was glad that he had bought this pendant cause she was wearing a blue dress.
"What's this Sesshomaru? I mean.." Rin stopped in mid-sentence, still shocked.
"I told you just have fun." Sesshomaru said and Rin blushed again. "Let's go."
Rin just nodded. They had almost half an hour for the party to start and if they would move now, they'd be fashionably late. It was okay.
Sesshomaru told Jaken to get the car ready. Jaken took out a car from the garage, then quickly opened the door for Rin and Sesshomaru. Then he got back to driver's seat.
Rin was too excited. She wanted to go the party and also she was excited from the sudden gift she got from Sesshomaru. When they reached the venue, Jaken opened the door for Sesshomaru and he got down, there were many people there and there were paparazzi's as well. It was to be expected since it was a Nakamura party and also since the only heir was back home after his studies abroad. The party was huge. Rin had expected it. But, she was feeling very nervous. Then she saw Sesshomaru holding out his hand to her, then she looked at his face and saw his eyes, they were reassuring so she smiled and took it. Then she got out of the car and was greeted by lots of flashes.
There was a huge crowd waiting for all of the guests to arrive. When Sesshomaru's car arrived, their was much ruckus, being the first heir to the Japan's no1 corporation Taisho Corp. But they had not expected him to be with a partner and that too alone. He had always attended any functions with his family. The girl was Rin Onigomu. They knew she stayed with Taishos but for what reason, they had no idea. This was one of the biggest party in the whole Japan, so Sesshomaru coming with a partner could indicate something, but as they asked lots of questions they recieved no answers.
As they entered the party hall, Sesshomaru glanced at Rin, she was looking amazing. She carried her dress perfectly and she still had a child's innocence and it was perfectly like her, and to top it all her eyes were twinkiling with excitement, so, Sesshomaru placed his hand on top of hers which was resting on the crooked of his arm, to calm her down, then she looked up at him and gave her breathtaking smile. Sesshomaru looked away, it was stirring something in him.
When they entered all eyes were on them, Sesshomaru was emotionless as always while Rin had the biggest of her smile plastered on her face. As they were walking towards the host of the party to thank them, Rin was engulfed in a breathtaking hug.
"Finally, we've been waiting for you both for a long time." Inuyasha said releasing her.
"Where've you been all day?" Hakudoshi asked and ruffled her hair.
"Hey it took lots of time to put my hair in places." Rin said smoothing her hair, but still grinning. "Where is Byakuya?"
"He is with his parents, welcoming everyone." Inuyasha said laughing.
"Yeah, he's in preety bad shape aleady, go and meet him, maybe he'll feel better." Hakudoshi said.
Rin nodded and they all headed towards the host of the party. As they were nearing the hosts, Byakuya's scowling face was visible now. When he saw them, he smiled.
"Hiya Byakuya." Rin said and turned to his parents. "Hello uncle, aunty. How are you?"
"Ahh Rinny, how are you? I haven't seen you for a very long time. Why aren't you come for shopping with us nowadays?" Byakuya's mother asked.
"Oh, I will join you people next time." Rin said smiling.
"Rin, how is your study going on?" Byakuya's father asked.
"It's fine, actually Haku-kun and Sesshomaru are helping me with schoolworks." Rin said.
"Oh, Sesshomaru how are you?" Byakuya's father asked.
"I am fine, thank you." Sesshomaru replied. "Mr. Nakamura, Mrs Nakamura, thank you for having us at this party."
"Ah, Sesshomaru, we should be thanking you for coming to our party." Byakuya's father said smiling.
"Sesshomaru, oh how have you grown, you never come to visit us. But, now since Byakuya's joining Shikon Royal, maybe you will come visit us often." Byakuya's mother said happily.
Sesshomaru was really wishing that this conversation would get over soon, Mrs. Nakamura always said the same thing, even if she met him a day before, she would say it had been so long since she saw him. Sesshomaru was saved from answering since, Rin had lots to talk with her. They just went on and on now, that they had started talking. But Rin then let go off his hand and Sesshomaru frowned, he didn't like it. But he was distracted by Byakuya's father.
"So, Sesshomaru, I heard you are already getting into business." Mr. Nakamura said.
"Yes, I have been looking into the business, I plan to join as soon as possible." Sesshomaru replied.
"That is a very good thing, Sesshomaru. I want Byakuya to take care of our business soon, but he isn't so interested." He said looking at Byakuya.
"Father." Byakuya said. "Let Sesshomaru enjoy the party."
"Yes, Sesshomaru enjoy the party, we'll have time to talk later." Mr. Nakamura said.
"Yes." Sesshomaru said and looked at Rin. She had gotten other company now. She had a huge smile on her face and she was touching her pendant and looking at it constantly. Sesshomaru almost smiled. Others were also looking at it. Then looked at Sesshomaru and giggled. Sesshomaru went up to Rin and whispered in her ears and earned more giggles. Then Rin excused herself from them and left with Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru took Rin's arm and put it on the crooked of his arms again. Then people after people came and talked to them. Some businessmen, some models, actors and they were talking about everything. Some would talk about business, some would flirt with Sesshomaru even though he was with Rin, but Sesshomaru seemed not to care about them.
Hakudoshi and Inuyasha were just grabbing too much attention, Inuyasha would sometimes talk too loudly, or they'd be fighting, or scolding some waiters. Sesshomaru acted as if he didn't even know them and seemed to ignore all those incidents. Rin on the other hand was enjoying it too much.
"Sesshomarrrru." A female voice purred and Rin cringed, she knew who the voice belonged to. Then she looked up at Sesshomaru and saw he had gone very cold.
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing with this girl?" Kagura asked.
"What do you mean this girl?" Rin asked, but the wind demoness just ignored her.
"Sesshomaru, won't you dance with me?" Kagura asked smiling seductively.
"No, thank you." Sesshomaru said and started walking away from her, taking Rin with him. Kagura was glaring draggers at Rin.
Now, there was a huge ruckus around the party hall. The flashes were just going on continuosly, all the people were talking at the same time and looking at the entrance. Rin looked towards it too and saw Inutaisho and Izayoi entering. They were surrounded by many people. Izayoi had a very genuine smile on her face and she looked very elegant, Inutaisho was looking like a true gentleman, his face stoic and very confident, Rin wanted to laugh. Izayoi was always like that, but Inutaisho, that was a different story.
Rin had stopped and was staring at Izayoi and Inutaisho. Sesshomaru was also staring, but his eyes were on the person standing next to him. Rin was trying so hard not to laugh, and she looked very funny. 'What was so funny?' Sesshomaru thought.
Then Sesshomaru started walking towards his parents along with Rin.
"Ah, Sesshomaru I'm glad you're here early." Inutaisho told his son and Sesshomaru just nodded.
"Oh my, Rin, that is a beautiful pendant, did Naraku sent it to you?" Izayoi asked.
Rin shook her head and said, "No, Sesshomaru gifted me this, isn't this beautiful?"
"Indeed it is." Inutaisho told Rin and looked at Sesshomaru with a glint in his eyes which Sesshomaru ignored.
"Okay dear, have fun." Izayoi said, "Don't let us interrupt you two." and then she looked at where Inuyasha was making a huge ruckus and smiled.
Rin and Sesshomaru went away from them and again they met Kagura. She was with her friends and as soon as she saw them, she came towards them.
"Sesshomarrru, come dance with me." Kagura said and Sesshomaru tried to ignore it, but since she was not gonna let that happen, she said, "Come on, Sesshomarrru."
Sesshomaru stopped and looked at her and said, "Sorry, but I've already got my first dance researved for someone else." and looked at Rin.
Then she felt Sesshomaru pulling her and she looked up, he was going towards the dance floor and Rin blushed at this. The dance was just starting. Byakuya was heading towards the dance floor with his mother, Hakudoshi was there with some girl and Inuyasha was busy eating.
Sesshomaru then moved infront of Rin and extended his hand, which Rin took without any hesitation and they started dancing. They danced slowly and Rin rested her head on Sesshomaru's chest and Sesshomaru leaned his head on Rin. They were lost in themselves. Izayoi and Inutaisho were looking at them smiling and Inutaisho looked suspiciously too happy and then suddenly a guy came from behind them and showed Inutaisho some pictures in his camera. It was Sesshomaru and Rin dancing, and was taken just now. Inutaisho then nodded his head and that guy left.
"But, I'm too sad that I didn't get any photos of Sesshomaru giving Rin that gift." Inutaisho said.
Izayoi just shook her head, but said nothing. Then the song ended and Inutaisho extended his hand and Izayoi took it gracefully and they headed towards the dance floor for the next dance. Sesshomaru and Rin danced for quite a while and then the one for whom the party was being held came and stole her away from Sesshomaru. Then again Hakudoshi stole her away from Byakuya and finally Inuyasha came to the dance floor for his very first dance tonight and again took Rin away from Hakudoshi.
Izayoi and Inutaisho were now just talking with other people and suddenly another business tycoon of Japan, Makihiko Kaze came to them and started talking.
"Hello , how are you tonight?" Makihiko asked.
"Ah, Mr. Kaze nice to see you here." Inutaisho said and added, "This is my wife, Izayoi."
"Ah, Mrs. Taisho , who doesn't know you. You are very famous for your charity work and endless support for the Taisho Corp." Makihiko said.
"Oh, you just praise me. I just joined Taisho corp for timepass and now I don't even go there. I have no contribution there." Izayoi said and they all started laughing.
"Well, this is my wife Kiyoki Kaze and my older daughter Kagura Kaze." Makihiko introduced and after all the introduction was done the talk suddenly shifted to Rin.
"Who is this girl Mr. Taisho? I see she is very close to your family and also Nakamura family." Makihiko said looking at Rin and Inuyasha dancing.
"Ah yes, actually many people don't know about her. They just know that she is staying in Taisho Manor, but actually she is Naraku Onigomu's daughter." Inutaisho said.
"What? Naraku has a daughter and what is the daughter of one of the top businessman of America doing in Japan?" Makihiko asked.
"When Naraku's wife died, he went to the States and left her in our care." Inutaisho replied "And another reason she is staying with us is because she is my future daughter-in-law."
"Ah, congratulations Mr. Taisho." Makihiko said looking at Inuyasha and Rin dancing. They were smiling at each other and looked very close. "What about business? Are they interested in your business? I heard Sesshomaru was already involved in some projects, but what about them two?" Makihiko continued.
"Ah yes, Sesshomaru is very interested, but those two, they will have to start soon, cause they are the future of the Taisho Corp. But since, the two have grown together maybe they will word hard together in the Corp as well." Inutaisho replied.
Then the talk continued about the business and current affairs and all. Izayoi and Kiyoki were talking about the latest fashion trends, charity and everything. Kagura was with them too, but today more than fashion, she was interested in the talk of Rin. 'Ah, so, Rin has been brought up in Taisho manor, no wonder she is close with Sesshomaru and also she is the future daughter-in-law of the Taisho's.' Rin thought and looked at Inuyasha and Rin smiling at each other and smiled too.
After the dance Rin was really tired and so she sat in a couch, Inuyasha sitting next to her. Then she saw an unwanted figure coming towards them. She sighed, what did she want now, Sesshomaru wasn't even there.
"I heard you are Taisho's to be daughter-in-law. Congratulations." Kagura said standing infront of them.
"What is wrong with this woman Rin? She comes here to tell you this?" Inuyasha asked laughing.
"Well, congratulations to you too." Kagura told Inuyasha and Inuyasha stopped laughing.
"And I'm being congratulated for?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, I knew Hanyous were dumb, but not this dumb." Kagura said haughtily.
"Oe woman, you wanna die?" Inuyasha said getting up, but Rin caught Inuyasha's hand and he calmed down.
"Kagura, don't go insulting Inuyasha. If you do that again, I'm gonna make you regret that." Rin said angrily.
"Whatever, you two must be made for each other. So, Rin leave Sesshomaru alone. I told you he is my boyfriend." Kagura said looking at her nails.
Rin blinked, unable to understand Kagura and Inuyasha was laughing so hard. Then Rin started laughing as well. They were laughing real hard and people were staring at them. Kagura got irritated.
"What's so funny?" Kagura asked.
After a while Rin caught her breath and answered, "Kagura I think I gave you reasons why you cannot be Sesshomaru's girlfriend, and I missed out the number one reason remember, that reason is Sesshomaru is my fiancé."
"What, it... it can't be." Kagura said. Rin was laughing again and Inuyasha was clutching his stomach now.
Then Hakudoshi and Byakuya came towards them. They ignored Kagura as if she was not there. Hakudoshi handed Rin a glass of water and said, "Here, you must be tired after dancing so much."
"Thank you, Haku-kun." Rin said taking the glass.
"What about me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Go, get it yourself mutt." Hakudoshi said.
"Oe, you wanna fight?" Inuyasha asked getting on his feet, and Rin giggled and gave him half the glass of water. "Where is Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha continued and the other two demons cringed at the name.
"Actally, we used him to escape." Byakuya answered.
"Yeah, and now he might kill us." Hakudoshi said looking at the farther end of the room where Sesshomaru was standing surrounded by lots of people. He looked bored and calm, but had a black aura emitting from him.
Then, Rin excused herself and headed towards Sesshomaru. Hakudoshi saw his parents coming towards them, so, Byakuya and he ran off leaving Kagura and Inuyasha alone and then Inuyasha looked at her face and started laughing again. Then, Kagura irritated, turned on her heels and left.
"Goodevening gentlemen, Sorry, but can I please take Sesshomaru for some time?" Rin asked and acted very innocent. They all gave a positive response and Sesshomaru excused himself. Then Rin and Sesshomaru went to a balcony and Rin was laughing. Sesshomaru was looking at Rin. The moonlight was making Rin shine, she looked really beautiful.
After she stopped laughing she looked at Sesshomaru and blushed, he was looking at her very intently. She looked away. Then looked up at the sky. It was very clear and the moon was full. Rin got lost in the sight in front.
"It's so beautiful." Rin said closing her eyes.
"Yeah, beautiful." Sesshomaru said, praising not the same scene Rin was praising, but the girl in front of him. Rin was glowing, it made her truly beautiful.
Then Rin slowly opened her eyes and turned around. She looked inside where it was very lively, then Rin saw a waiter serving drinks. Then she looked at Sesshomaru and smiled.
Rin turned to him and smiled. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. That smile meant trouble. Then before he could say anything Rin went inside, Sesshomaru stayed there, but his eyes followed Rin. Then she went further inside and Sesshomaru couldn't see anymore of her. But then, she was back quickly, her both hands behind her back. Then she stood infront of him and smiled and brought her hands forward. There, in one hand there were two champagne flute and in one hand one bottle of champagne. Sesshomaru raised one of his eyebrows.
"Sesshomaru, let's drink." Rin said.
"What are you thinking Rin?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Nothing, I want to drink." Rin answered.
"You can't drink, you're not of age." Sesshomaru said curtly.
"Please Sesshomaru, noone will know." Rin said innocently.
"It's not about people knowing Rin, you can't drink." Sesshomaru countered.
"But, it's just Champagne, Sesshomaru-sama." Rin said.
Sesshomaru knew where this was going now. Rin calling him 'Sesshomaru-sama' meant she was not letting him go until she got what she wanted. But Sesshomaru would not be faltered, or so he thought. After a little more pleading from Rin, he gave in to her.
"But, you can't drink here where anyone can catch you." Sesshomaru said.
"Then, where should..." Rin could not complete her question as she was swept off the feet bridal style and was on a rooftop suddenly. Sesshomaru let her down. The cold breeze was blowing. It was really peaceful and quiet. The wind was blowing in her face and making her hair come infront of her face. Rin was trying hard to take her hair of her face, but since her hand was full, it was being difficult. Sesshomaru watching this, then he was almost mesmerized. He brought his hand up to her face and removed her hair from the face, but it was coming back again and again. Sesshomaru then looked at her eyes and got lost in it. But Rin looked away again.
"Catch." Rin said.
"What?" Sesshomaru asked suddenly being jerked down to earth.
"Catch this." Rin said handing him the glasses and the bottle. Sesshomaru looked at her quietly and took the glass and the bottle from her. Then Rin fixed her hair and took back the glasses and Sesshomaru expertly opened the bottle and poured in both the glasses. Rin was really excited. She gave one glass to Sesshomaru.
"Cheers." Rin said and the two glasses clinked and Rin gulped down the whole content. Then, brought her glass infront for refill. Sesshomaru just looked at her, then filled her glass. Then he sat down on the roof and kept the bottle down and Rin sat next to Sesshomaru. They said nothing much just admired the beauty and drank. Then as the bottle was about to be empty, Rin laid down her head Sesshomaru's shoulder.
"This tastes so sweet, I like it." Rin said.
"But, for your first time you've drank enough." Sesshomaru said.
"Shh, Rin likes it, so Rin will drink more." Rin said bringing her finger to Sesshomaru's mouth.
Rin was looking different. Her cheeks red and her eyes they were slightly unfocused, but she looked fine enough. Anyway it was just champagne. Then after the bottle was finally empty, they just sat in silence, then Rin started to fall asleep in Sesshomaru's shoulder, Sesshomaru moved slightly and made it more comfortable for Rin. She snuggled more and smiled.
"Sesshomaru?" Rin called.
"Hm?" Sesshomaru answered to her call.
"Today was really fun." Rin said and yawned. "Sesshomaru did everything Rin said was fun. Rin really enjoied it."
Since, Sesshomaru said nothing Rin continued, "But, Sesshomaru, fun is just being with Sesshomaru. Rin has fun just staying with Sesshomaru. Even if we do nothing at all."
This took Sesshomaru by surprise, he couldn't believe Rin was saying that. He had wanted to enjoy her day. He had wanted to see her smiling, but suddenly at the end of the day, he was the one smiling. He was smiling now, he was really happy. Rin had just said that much but it had been enough to make the youkai smile. Then suddenly Rin looked up at his face and smiled.
"I thought you'd be smiling now." Rin said. "Sesshomaru should smile more often." Then yawned and kept her head back in Sesshomaru's shoulder. Then noone said anything, then after a while Rin's soft, slow breathing made Sesshomaru know that she had fallen asleep. Then slowly so, not to wake Rin up, he carried her and went towards where his car was. Jaken opened the door for them and Sesshomaru put Rin inside first and got in himself. Rin snuggled into him. Then Jaken closed the door and got around to the driver's seat.
"Let's go Jaken." Sesshomraru said and Jaken started the engine and drove off.
Sesshomaru was feeling very calm now. Rin being together with him felt so natural. But there was something bothering him, his heart was beating very fast, and nomatter what he did it didn't slow down. But, he really felt very relaxed. When they were almost home, Sesshomaru told Jaken, "Jaken, take another around." and Jaken did as he was told.
Then Sesshomaru looked down at Rin and got lost in his thoughts. Now, they reached home. Others were still at the party, so it was quiet. Then Sesshomaru took Rin to her bedroom and laid her in her bed. He asked the maid, to change Rin's dress, then left. After changing Rin's cloth the maid went and told Sesshomaru that Rin was sleeping comfortably. He dismissed her. Then Sesshomaru again went to her room and switched on the light. He looked on the bed, Rin was sleeping, her face so calm and relaxed. She looked like a baby. He went towards her and ran a hand through her head. Then he hadn't expected his next move, he leaned down and kissed Rin on her forehead. Rin smiled in her dreams and snuggled into her blanked.
"Goodnight Rin." Sesshomaru said and switched off the light and left the room. Then in the dark room, Rin's smile grew and she murmured, "Sesshomaru" slowly in her dreams.
The next day Sesshomaru was feeling like hell. He couldn't sleep all night, something was bothering him. He was thinking about Rin constanly, all night. And he just couldn't stop thinking how beautiful she was. Then, after not sleeping all night, he went down in the morning. Izayoi and Inutaisho were there having coffee.
"Goodmorning, Sesshomaru." Izayoi said.
"Goodmorning mother, father." Sesshomaru said.
"Ahh, where did you disappear to last night? And also you look terrible. Oh, did you and Rin?" Inutaisho asked smiling smugly.
"Father, please don't do this, it feels rather disgusting to be hearing such things from you. And I was bored from the party so, Rin and I came back home. That's it." Sesshomaru said, pinching thebridge of his nose.
"Oh, then I still have to wait some more time for my grandkids." Inutaisho said sadly.
Sesshomaru wanted to kill something, anything now. How could his father be like this. If only other people knew how stupid his father could be.
"Oh and I was hoping for something, otherwise I wouldn't have sent Inuyasha to Hakudoshi's place." Inutaisho siad.
"Please stop teasing Sesshomaru dear." Izayoi said.
"But I really hoped..." Inutaisho stopped mid sentence when he saw Izayoi's face and gulped. "Okay dear." He said.
Then Sesshomaru sat and drank his coffee. Then he had his breakfast. Inutaisho said he didn't want to go to office, so he'd work from home, then left to go to his study room, Izayoi went with him. Then Sesshomaru took another cup of coffee and took it to Rin's room. He knocked, but since no answer came he knew she was sleeping, then he went inside, some faint smell of alcohol was coming from the room, so he opened the curtains and the windows. He went towards Rin's bed and sat then tried waking Rin up. But Rin wouldn't even buzz. So, he thought he'd leave her for a while, but then Rin reached over and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's stomach. Then she snuggled more. Sesshomaru looked at her from where he was sitting and then where her hand was. He smiled. Then he just sat there for a while and looked at her. She really looked like a little child. Then after a while, Rin stirred and slowly opened her eyes.
She saw something silver at first. Then she fully opened her eyes. She saw Sesshomaru sitting on her bed and looking at her. She blinked.
"Goodmorning." Sesshomaru said.
"Goodmorning." Rin said sheepisly. Then she realized, she had her arm around him. Then she blushed and removed it quickly.
"Here, have some coffee." Sesshomaru said.
"Thanks." Rin said taking the coffee, then they both sat in silence. "Why didn't you go to school?"
"I didn't feel like it." Sesshomaru answered, then again they felt silence. Then Rin finished her coffee.
"I don't want to get up yet, so I'll sleep okay?" Rin asked Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru nodded, then took the cup from Rin and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Rin just stared at the door. 'Why was it suddenly being so awkward for her to be with Sesshomaru? It feels different.' Rin thought. Then she rolled on her bed and thought about it more. But, the more she thought about it, the more it got complicated. Then she fell asleep again.
At noon time, Sesshomaru came back to Rin's room and knocked. Rin was still sleeping. He went inside followed by a butler. The butler came in with the trolley. Sesshomaru dismissed him and he left the trolley and bowed and left the room. Then Sesshomaru went and woke Rin up. Rin got up and sleepily looked at Sesshomaru and he informed he had brought her lunch, then she went to the bathroom to get freshen up and then came back to the room. Then Sesshomaru and Rin had lunch together in silence.
After they were done, Rin smiled and told Sesshomaru, "This is the second time we've eaten together in this room. Remember the last time?"
"Yes, it was because you were sick." Sesshomaru said.
"And you were not?" Rin asked frowning.
"I was fine. It was you people who made me stay home." Sesshomaru said.
(FLASHBACK)
Inuyasha stayed home because today there was supposed to be some function and the teacher had wanted Inuyasha to help out. So, Rin was alone. Since, she hadn't made any friends in her class, she was sitting alone. But it was fine because recently she had made a new friend. He was older than her, but he was nice. All the other kindergardeners were scared of her. But he was really nice and he had also taken care of her when she was lost some days before, and since that day, he had become her friend. 'Haku-kun' was really nice.
As soon as the lunch break started Rin ran off with her lunch box towards her friend's classroom. Then from the door she looked inside the classroom, but didn't see Haku-kun, then she looked for Sesshomaru, but even he wasn't there. Then she heard someone talking to her from behind.
"Well, aren't you the girl who hangs out with Hakudoshi nowadays. I heard you really bug her. He tries to run away from you but you just wouldn't leave him alone. It sounds fun." A boy with black hair was saying.
"Haku-kun is my fwiend." Rin said.
"Whatever, but today he didn't come to class, he is sick." The boy said.
"Eh! Haku-kun is swick?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, he's just got a fever. It's normal for youkai's to be like this in this age, they're growing up so they'll catch fever soon, but it will leave in a day, but then after tis they won't get sick so easily." The guy replied.
"Oh. Are you Haku-kun's fwiend?" Rin asked.
"Not exactly." The boy replied.
"But ya know where he lwives right? Please take me there." Rin said.
"But you're just a human, you'll get contaminated fast." The boy said but when Rin pleaded more, he gave in.
Then suddenly Sesshomaru came towards them. "Maru, where were you? Haku-kun is swick, I'm going to visit him so do you want to cwome?" Rin asked.
Sesshomaru looked at the dark haired boy then at Rin, "And, how do you plan to go?" He asked.
"Oh, he is twaking me." Rin said pointing at the boy and then frowned. "What's your nwame?" she asked.
"Byakuya, what do you plan to do?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What do you mean? She is a friend of Hakudoshi and since, he is sick, she wants to go visit him and I'm just gonna take her there." Byakuya replied.
"Why would you do that?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Because it is fun to look at them both together." Byakuya replied simply.
Sesshomaru was suddenly angry, he didn't know why himself but a little growl escaped his lips and Byakuya was confused. But even Sesshomaru was quiet confused at that himself.
"Maru, pwease lwet me go." Rin said.
"Okay, but I'm coming with you." Sesshomaru said.
"Why?" Byakuya asked. "Don't you trust me?"
"Rin is my responsibility, I will protect her because she is my fianceê." Sesshomaru said possesively.
Byakuya was shocked at this, then recovered and smiled, it made more sense. Though Sesshomaru and he didn't talk much they were not on bad terms, they both had respect for each other.
Then they all went to Hakudoshi's house. Sesshomaru informed his parents about it. When they reached the Kobayoshi manson, Rin was really excited. She had never been to her friend's house. So, she had been talking about this whole way.
Byakuya was looking at Rin and smiling. She was really interesting. Byakuya also noticed how patient Sesshomaru was with her. And he had already noticed how Hakudoshi also took care of her. Though he would try to run away from her, he would have lunch with her, and he would also let her follow him, and also he would be looking after her. That's why he had wanted to find out more about her, but now seeing her he understood, she was just being herself and it was enough for them to be drawn to her. She was tough and at the same time vulnerable. It was just impossible to ignore her.
As the car got inside the gate, the butler was already waiting for them in the front door, then he greeted them, "Goodafternoon, Byakuya-sama, I see you have some friends."
"Hello, Waki." Byakuya replied to the butler. "They are Hakudoshi's friend they've come to visit him, since he's sick."
"Ah, Master Hakudoshi is resting in his room, if you'd follow me." Waki said.
They were asked to wait in the living room while the butler went to check if Hakudosi could recieve any visitors. Then he came back and asked them to follow him, then Rin went ahead and Sesshomaru and Byakuya said they'd just wait there. When they reached Hakudoshi's room, the butler knocked and went inside, Rin following behind. Then the butler left.
"Haku-kun, how are you fweeling now?" Rin asked.
"What are you doing here?" Hakudoshi asked tiredly.
"Byakuya twold me you were swick, so, I cwame to hwave lunch wid you." Rin said.
"I don't want to eat anything." Hakudoshi said.
"But, I am hwungry, and I hwaven't eaten anythwing." Rin said and then Hakudoshi and sighed and said he'd eat.
Rin took out her lunch box and laid in Hakudoshi's bed. He slowly got up and started eating. Then Rin cleared her throat and when he looked at her, she opened her mouth wide and when he just looked at her, she said, "I want to eat too." and again opened her mouth, then Hakudoshi fed her and looked away. But then they had the rest of their lunch like that and Rin was very happy, then Hakudoshi was getting really tired, so Rin told him to rest, then Sesshomaru and Byakuya came in the room. Then Rin told them that Hakudoshi needed some rest do they left.
Byakuya's chauffer dropped them home. When they got home, Izayoi and Inutaisho were waiting for them.
"Sesshomaru, Rin how is your friend doing? I hope he is better now." Izayoi said and Rin explained to her.
But by the end they had all come to a conclusion that Sesshomaru should take some rest, since he was also just growing up and since he had visited someone who had fever, he could get sick easily. They ignored Sesshomaru's disagreement and it was decided that Sesshomaru was going to rest the whole of the next day. Then he was sent off to his room.
He was fine, he knew he was fine. Why was he stuck like this? He hated it.
Downstairs, Rin felt bad for she was the one who had dragged Sesshomaru to Hakudoshi's house. She knew Sesshomaru was angry now. 'But what if he got sick. He should rest.' she thought. Then she went to her room. She was feeling down now, her steps were feeling heavy.
Then at night she went to Sesshomaru's room taking food for him. She was still feeling wierd and tired. She hadn't eaten anything. She didn't feel like eating anything but since Sesshomaru hadn't come out from his room and had send all the staffs away, she came to give food to Sesshomaru herself. When she knocked, she heard nothing from inside. then she called him and he opened the door.
"Maru, I bwrought you dinner." Rin said.
"I don't want any." Sesshomaru said.
"Today's dinner is vewy good, you will like it." Rin said.
"I already told you." Then Sesshomaru stopped when he saw her face, the moment she had entered his room he had smelt something wierd, now her face looked very tired. He frowned, she was falling sick. Why hadn't anyone noticed it yet. "Rin, how are you feeling?" He asked instead.
"I'm fwine, Maru." Rin answered.
Why was she lying to him? It was so obvious she was not fine. Then he looked at her, she looked confused. Then he understood, she still wasn't aware that she was falling sick. Then he asked, "Did you have your dinner?"
"Ah, um, yes." Rin said and looked away.
Sesshomaru wanted to laugh, she couldn't even lie. Why was he bothered before? He could have easily told if she was lying.
Then Sesshomaru sat and started having his dinner, first he had the soup.
"This soup is too salty." Sesshomaru complained.
"What? Rweally, but our chef nwever mwakes any mwistake." Rin said confused.
"Here, taste it." Sesshomaru said and Rin had the soup.
"It is fwine." Rin said.
"Really?" Sesshomaru said and had another spoon of soup. "No, it's not, here taste again."
Rin did as she was told, then said, "It's fwine. Well, if you thwink it's salty then have spa.. spwa... spaghetti, Chef said, it's mwade spwecially for you in a very hwealthy way."
Sesshomaru started eating, then suddenly grabbed the water glass, and drank that, "It's too spicy." He said.
"What?" Rin was more confused now.
"You taste it then." Sesshomaru said and Rin tasted it and frowned.
"It is fwine." Rin said.
"No." Sesshomaru said and took another spoonful and ate, "See, it's spicy." He said and took another spoonful and fed Rin.
"It's fwine." Rin said. Then they continued until they finished their dinner. Sesshomaru smiled, she really was naive. But he was glad she had eaten now.
Then, Rin left and called the butler to clear the plates, then she left and went to sleep, she was really tired. She fell asleep instantly. Then at night Sesshomaru came to check on her.
The next day, Sesshomaru was told to rest and Rin had to rest, without anyone telling her. She felt awful, then Izayoi was busy checking on Sesshomaru and Rin, Sesshomaru was really irritated now, he was fine, why was he being treated like a patient? Then at noon, Byakuya and Hakoudoshi came to visit them. Inuyasha had told them about the situation. Byakuya looked really excited and Hakudoshi, he looked, worried?
They went to Rin's room and Rin was really happy, Byakuya had brought fruits for her. They sat in her room for hours and they tried calling Sesshomaru but he refused their company. Rin was too happy that she forgot about her tiredness and sickness. Rin was really happy she had found another friend and he was really nice. Hakudoshi and Byakuya were enough of a friend for Rin, she knew she didn't need anymore friends now. Even, Hakudoshi was starting to feel comfortable around Rin and, Byakuya, he found Rin too interesting to ignore.
Then at evening they left. Rin was told to rest again. Then at night, she was woken by Sesshomaru, who had brought dinner for her. Rin looked like she was recovering, but she felt really tired. Sesshomaru fed Rin and Rin insisted that Sesshomaru too have dinner with her, since she didn't like eating alone. After they were done, Sesshomaru left and sent a maid in, to clear the plates and to clean Rin up.
The next day, they both were allowed to go to school and Rin was really happy, she had a little group of friends, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Hakudoshi and Byakuya. It seemed they were enough for Rin.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Rin was smiling now, thinking about all those memories. She was lost in her own thoughts, Sesshomaru was just looking at her.
"Sesshomaru, you've been there with me since forever, and you've always given me lots of happiness. I don't think I've ever been deprived of happiness. Thank you for being there for me and thank you for taking care of me." Rin said looking at Sesshomaru.
"Rin, you are my mate. To keep you happy is my first responsibility. I will make sure that you don't have to shed a single drop of tear. I will protect you forever." Sesshomaru said.
"Thank you, Sesshomaru." Rin said and hugged him, then suddenly, she kissed his cheek and hid her face in Sesshomaru's chest.
Sesshomaru was a little shocked, he hadn't thought she'd be so bold now. But now, he had come to a conclusion, all his feelings were being clear now. His mate was the most beautiful, she was beyond what he could ever define and that girl, he was in love with her.
Yes, he was in love with Rin.
Okay, I've got another chapter finished. Thank you for reading. This one took really long time to finish.
Oh and since many of you were asking about how was Byakuya and Rin friend? I also included how they became friends also I want to let you all know that Byakuya was there in chapter 3 though for a brief moment, but he had his appearance then. I hope, now, you all are satisfied.
Okay, see ya everyone.
