A/N: Listen To Alive by JenniferLopez, it will explain the mood setting.
Chapter 10
Sesshomaru never left the hospital, even when his father all but told him he would have him banned from Rin's room. "Sesshomaru, it will do more harm when she wakes to see the state you are in, you haven't slept well, you don't eat, you haven't even changed from your work clothes since the day we got you here. Go home and get yourself cleaned up and I want you to eat and get some sleep. I will call you with any changes" Inutaisho told his son as he laid a hand on his shoulder.
Sesshomaru got home to see the dusty piano in the middle of the room, he sat at the keys and started lightly playing his fingers over the keys of the song she was working on. He could hear her voice singing the words so softly in the middle of the night as he would lose himself in her voice
Time goes slowly now in my life
Fear no more of what I'm not sure
Searching for your soul
The strength to stand alone
The power of not knowing and letting go
I guess I've found my way It's simple and it's right
Feeling lucky just to be here tonight
And happy just to be me and be alive
Love, in and out, of my heart
And though life can be strange, I can't be afraid
Searching for your soul
The strength to stand alone
The power of not knowing and letting go
I guess I've found my way It's simple and it's right
Feeling lucky just to be here tonight
And happy just to be me and be alive
I guess I've found my way It's simple and it's right
Feeling lucky just to be here tonight
And happy just to be me and be alive
Sesshomaru softly played the last notes before leaning his head down on his arms as his heart felt pain for the first time. He did not realize he fell asleep at the piano till the following morning when his phone went off. He jerked awake and quickly pulled his phone out, relieved to see it was his father, after speaking with Inutaisho, Sesshomaru took a swift shower, changed into relaxing clothes and grabbed a bite for breakfast before heading to the hospital.
He arrived just as Inutaisho left the room. "Sesshomaru, I have good news and I have great news. Good news is that Rin has woken up, the great news is, she is willing to forget about what went on with you and Kagura, she has only one request if you will allow her to have this one thing, she is willing to stay by your side and forget this event."
Sesshomaru nodded, "What is it? She can have anything she wishes, she has only to ask it." He stated as he met his father's eyes levelly and directly. Inutaisho moved him down the hall away from Rin's room as he pulled him into an empty room.
"She wants you to send Kagura away and do everything necessary to erase her from your life. Such as changing your number, your email, your office needs to know not to patch Kagura's calls through or to have security escort her from the building if she arrives." Sesshomaru smiled slightly.
"I planned to do that already, she wasted her breath asking for something I was planning on doing already. I will gladly get rid of her, only reason I kept her around is because I did not want Rin to suffer with carrying hanyou pups or a full youkai as it would endanger her life." Inutaisho escorted him back to her room and opened the door, letting him pass through alone before closing it.
Rin sat up in her bed as her hands rested on her stomach, she glanced at him as she motioned for him to move closer, waiting for him to sit beside her bed. "Rin, I am sorry I did not tell you of my intentions. I did not wish to risk losing you due to carrying a hanyou, so I enlisted Kagura's assistance in birthing my heir so I would be able to keep you by my side." He explained as he gripped her hand hoping she wouldn't pull away.
Rin merely gripped his hand back, "I know Sesshomaru, and I wish I could have known. Had I known you had these worries I would have done everything to prevent them from escalating into the events that occurred." Rin said softly. "Where does this leave us now?"
Sesshomaru tipped her face to meet his as he kissed her gently. "I still love you Rin, very much and as for Kagura, she is gone. I got rid of her as soon as I got the call of you here.I wish I had thought better of my actions"
"If you could go back in time knowing what you know now, would you change anything and do it differently?" Rin asked as she met his gaze evenly. Her eyes scanning his face for any misconceptions and lies.
"Yes Rin. I would never have taken Kagura, I would have spoken to you about things and you would not be here. I am sorry Rin." Sesshomaru stated as he pulled her into his embrace. He would vow to himself she would never be hurt again because of him, he would always be honest with her from now on.
"I want to go home Sesshomaru. Can you take me home? Rin asked as he nodded and helped her up, waiting for her to change as they made their way to the desk to sign her out and head home.
A/N: Sorry it is short, I will make the next chapter longer as it will have lemons in it. I do not know how explicit yet as I am working on it in between work.
