Rin's POV
I couldn't believe it! After I told him that I was willing to accept whatever he was offering, he still shot me down. This was the most worst feeling in the world. I was getting kicked out and he wanted nothing to do with me. This man was beyond cold, he was down right cruel, but this was no time for making misjudging comments (when I find some money that's when I'll call him names).
I watched as he gathered his things and left without another word. My body just stood there as if it were being weighed down with heavy cinderblocks attached to my ankles. My mind screamed for me to go after him, but my body said just leave this man alone.
But I wasn't giving up that easily. I quickly turned, racing out the door after him.
I wasn't too far behind when I said, "Please, sir! Just hear me out!"
He never stopped to look at me or say anything in return. I figured that if I got ahead of him then that way he would have no choice but to look at me so I did.
"What part of go away don't you understand?" he said.
I was a little tacken aback but I needed this proposition. "Sir I really need this," I begged.
He continued to walk and I tried desperately to keep up with him.
"Leave me alone," he said. "You're pestering me."
I was slowly growing impaitent. What could I do to get this man to listen to me without seeming like the pesky fly that I knew I was? I ran the thoughts through my head and then finally came up with something. I wasn't sure if it was going to work but I had to try something.
I took in a deep breath and said, "Sir I really need some money! I'm getting kicked out of my apartment tomorrow and won't have anywhere to go." (technically that last part wasn't true, but as long as he didn't know, I didn't care).
I continued to say, "My mother gave no money and I recently got fired!"
You can pretty guess what I was doing; begging and pleading my ass off and I didn't care as long as my alternative wasn't to be on the curb of my street (and I don't mean because I got booted out of my home).
I wasn't sure whether this man cared or not, but he finally said, "What's your name?"
I smiled as my heart was filled with a pleasant warm feeling. Maybe he was giving me a chance after all. I got passed the fact that he was actually considering me and answered, "Rin Usami. And yours?"
He sighed and said, "Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru Taisho."
I repeated his name as if I didn't know it by memory, I might forget who offered me a chance to change something in my life.
"Why exactly do you need music entertainment?" I asked.
He sighed once again as he opened his mouth to tell me. I just hoped that I wasn't being fooled.

Sesshomaru's POV
I couldn't understand what I was doing. I just agreed to this woman who's name I know as Rin, to provide for the music entertainment at my parents wedding anniversary. I guess that I shouldn't care anymore. At least I won't have to keep looking, and after she begged me several times I just thought to throw in the towel.
But still, how would my parents and the rest of my family feel if they knew that I was hiring some homeless woman with no job? What would they think if I allowed "her kind" to be near us?
I didn't put much thought into it and only sighed, hoping that this woman knew how to act in the presence of wealthier people.
Suddenly I heard her ask, "So why do you need music?"
I simply answered that it was for my parents wedding anniversary. She went on to say, "Oh? How many years?"
God, didn't this woman ever shut up? So I said, "That's not the point at this moment."
She must have caught on to the fact that I didn't want her prying into my business so she was pretty much quiet...for the time being. I began to walk and told her to follow. She did without haste.
"First off you will need to be there at eleven sharp tomorrow," I began and then handed her one of my family's fancy cards with the address. "Next you will provide your own transportation coming and leaving. You must dress properly as well."
I then continued to explain other simple things to her. And for her sake she'd better remember them.
"You are to have eaten and taken care of other personals before arriving. You are to address everyone as 'sir' or 'ma'am'."
She looked up into my face asking, "Is that all?"
I nodded my head.
"Am I getting paid up front?" she asked.
"Don't worry about that for now," I reassured. "I will make sure that you receive payment."
I heard her let out a faint sigh. She must really need that money.
"Thank you so much," I heard her say. "You don't know how much this means to me."
I said nothing in response to her comment. I noticed her check the time.
She said, "Is there anything else?" I guess she was making sure before departing from my company. And once I thought of it, there was one more thing that I forget to mention.
"Oh, thank you for reminding me," I said. "Once you have received your pay you are to pay me back in full cash."
I took a quick glance at her face to see if her expression had suddenly changed dramatically, but it hadn't. What was wrong with this woman? Didn't she know that she was expected to pay me back? She had no job, and from what I recalled her family wouldn't help her either. If I were her I would have been desperate to find ways, but then again I'm not her.
I saw her walk off in another direction, telling me, "I have to go now. But I'll be sure to be there." Then she waved. "Bye!"
I didn't wave back as I contniued down the street, heading into my awaiting limo. Everything should goes as planned. If not, there will be dire consequences.
