An: Sorry for the long delay every one.. Things have been extremely hectic lately and I haven't had much time to work on the story. I hope that you guess forgive me.. I was hoping to have this up a couple weeks ago but plans changed...
Oh and fmafan04 thank you for pointing out my mistakes.. I haven't really been completely here lately. I'll go back and correct those mistakes. Thank you for pointing them out. Every one else, if y'all happen to see any mistakes, PLEASE let me know so i can fix them. Like I said, I haven't been completely here as of late. Thank you.
And to clarify things, Rin wasn't a virgin when she got with Sesshomaru BUT if any of y'all have done any research on the female anatomy, there are RARE cases where the hemen has grown back from no sexual contact in a long amount times (It NORMALLY takes 9 years but with Rin I decided to use 2 years)
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters. I also don't own "Journey to the Past" by Aaliyah (off of Anastasia) or "The Star" by Vitas!
The teenager leaned back against the kitchen counter staring up at the ceiling. Normally green-speckled brown eyes that looked more green today, traced imaginary shapes with her eyes. Her mind wandered from place to place. It went from one corner of her mind, to a complete opposite side filled with emotions. All the flip flopping was making her nausous but she never said a word.
When her mind finally settled on one subject, she closed her eyes to listen to the voices inside of slowly began talking and fighting with each other. The subject mainly revolved around Sesshomaru and what happened a few days prier to today. He was so aggressive and dominant but loving and compassionate during their time behind the stage on the bed. His hands never left her body and his lips never left her heated flesh.
A small shiver trailed down her spine as she remembered.
"Rinny bear?" came Haku's voice as he looked at her, his nose twitching some at the smell of scent being slightly spicier. "You okay?"
Rin blushed darkly before nodding her head dumbly. "Yeah, just thinking."
Haku rolled his eyes before reaching into one of the cabinets and grabbing a small snack. Before he turned to face his little sister, he grabbed an extra. Turning around, he threw one at Rin who caught it right before it hit her face. Both opened their sugary snack at the same time and popped it into their mouth.
Licking her lips, Rin looked at her brother curiously. "Hey, Haku? How you're a full fledged demon but I'm fully human?"
The older male looked at his little sister for a moment seeming deep in thought.
"I'm not sure, Rinny. You'd have to ask father," he whispered. In all truth, he knew what their father did to turn him full demon before he came out of the womb. But with Rin, she was different. Their father would know what happened to cause only one of the girls to be full demon and other fully human.
"I see," Rin whispered before throwing the wrapper of her snack into the trash. "Thanks big brother."
Smiling brightly at the male, she ran up and kissed his cheek before leaving.
'Be careful, Rin,' was the last thing that ran through Haku's head as he watched Rin run out the door.
Silver hair swayed and whipped in the wind as golden eyes stared down into deep brown ones that seemed to sparkle. Brown hair mixed in with the silvery locks as the figures stepped closer to each other. Eyes still locked, a clawed hand reached for a normal human hand before intertwining their fingers.
"Rin, how are you fairing?"
"I'm fine. How are you, Sesshomaru?"
The demon smirked some at the calmness of her voice. Her scent showed she clearly remembered everything that had happened between them but her voice was calm and steady.
"I am well. Come."
Sesshomaru softly pulled her into a dark room and pinned her against a wall. His lips possessively claiming hers. A small whimper left the girl's throat as she squirmed.
"S-Sessh, I-I have a c-concert," she moaned out as he nipped and sucked at the pulse point on her neck. "I-I g-go on i-in f-five."
"This Sesshomaru knows, mate," he growled biting her mark.
Yelping, Rin successfully shoved him away.
"I have to go," Rin hissed before walking away.
Sesshomaru chuckled and followed behind her. His hand found hers while they walked to the make shift outside stage before Rin disappeared behind a door.
Rin sighed as she leaned back against the wall in the back stage room of her first concert. And she was so very nervous. Her body was shaking and she trying not to bite her finger nails.
Sighing, she looked up at the ceiling.
'I wonder if Sessh will be out there to watch me...He promised he would be...,' she thought before bringing her index finger to her lip.
"Ms. Rin," came the voice of one of the stage helpers. "You're on in two minutes. They said to go to the stage entrance."
"Oh, okay.." she whispered before following the helper to the entrance and stood there rod straight.
On the outside, Rin looked confident and cocky but on the inside she was a wreck. The girl kept worrying about if she messed up or forgot the words. Shaking her head, she looked ahead as her manager announced her.
Taking a deep breath, Rin walked out on the stage. A small immediately plastered on her face as she looked out at the crowd.
"Well this is a shock," she said laughing. "I wasn't expecting so many people. I hope you don't mind a little Russian."
Every one in the crowd laughed. Some even screamed "GO RIN!" and she recognized them as Rae, Daichi, and Rae's family. A small smile formed on her lips as she grabbed the mic.
The soft music began to play behind her and she swayed closing her eyes as she felt those heated amber eyes fall on her. She hummed the intro before starting to sing the words with an emotion no one ever heard from her.
Очень много раз я себе задавал вопрос,
[So many times I asked myself]
Для чего родился на свет, я взрослел и рос?
[What for I was born into this world and grew up]
Для чего плывут облака и идут дожди,
[And why the clouds float and rains pour]
В этом мире ты для себя ничего не жди...
[You shouldn't expect anything for yourself in this world]
She slowly opened her eyes to look out at the crowd, her eyes only landing on one person as memories flooded her mind. Slowly, pieces of fake snow fell down around her.
Я бы улетел к облакам - жаль крыльев нет,
[I would fly up to the clouds but I have no wings]
Манит меня издалека тот звездный свет...
[That starlight lures me from afar]
Но звезду достать нелегко, хоть цель близка,
[But it's hard to reach the star though the goal is close at hand]
И не знаю, хватит ли сил для броска...
[And I don't know if I'll have enough strength for the throw]
People attached to wires flew around the stage and beckoned for Rin to come to them. A small star next to a crescent moon showed above and Rin reached her hand out to the left of her.
Припев(Refrain):
Я подожду еще чуть-чуть,
[I'll wait just a little bit more]
И собираться буду в путь...
[And then will get ready for my journey]
Вслед надеждой и мечтой,
[Towards the Dream and Hope]
Недогорайзвездамоя, постой...
[Don't burn out my star, just wait!]
The star began to flicker as if it was about to go out and Rin through more emotion to her singing as she reached out to the star. Her voice never missing a beat and filled with so much emotion.
Сколько же еще мне дорог предстоит пройти?
[How many paths do I have to go by?]
Сколько покорить мне вершин, чтоб тебя найти?
[How many peaks should I conquer to find my own self?]
Сколько же с отвесной скалы мне падать вниз?
[How long should I keep falling from the cliff?]
Сколько начинать все с нуля, и есть ли смысл?
[How many times should I start from the beginning and is there any sense to it?]
Припев (Refrain):
Я подожду еще чуть-чуть,
[I'll wait just a little bit more]
И собираться буду в путь...
[And then will get ready for my journey]
Вслед надеждой и мечтой,
[Towards the Dream and Hope]
Недогорайзвездамоя, постой...
[Don't burn out my star, just wait!]
Her green-speckled brown eyes closed as she dropped her head right as the star shined bright. Small sakura petals began to flutter down around her as the fake snow stopped falling.
Every one in the crowd stood speechless. At first, it would seem they didn't enjoy it until a man stood up with tears in his eyes and began clapping wildly. Others in the crowd joined in chanting her name, some every whistled. Everything seemed so perfect. She had fans now.
Rae laughed as she ran behind stage and tackled Rin excitedly.
"You never told us you knew Russian," squealed the blond.
"You never asked," Rin laughed out as arms wrapped around her waist.
"My little Rinny has grown up into a fine woman," Rehji chuckled as he hugged his daughter tightly.
"I only grew up this good because of a great man." She smiled up into lovingly green eyes.
"You were fantastic, Rin!" bellowed Touga. "My son chose a great girl to become his mate!'
Blushing, Rin shyly looked down at her feet. Inutaisho had been a great inspiration the past couple months when Rin was getting her career up and running. It was very hard and there were times Rin just wanted to rip her hair out. If he hadn't been there with an encouraging hand, she probably would have.
Izayoi lovingly wrapped her arms around Rin's shoulders. She had been the one to help her the most. The woman was like the mother Rin had always wanted and she looked up to her as a mother figure. Smiling, the woman placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"You were great, darling. Such a lovely voice filled with such emotion. We are all so proud of you," she whispered lovingly in the girl's ear.
"Thank you, Izayoi. Thank you all so much," Rin said smiling widely. "I wouldn't have been able to do this without each and every single one of y'all."
"Rin," came the scratchy voice of her manager, Jaken. "Hurry up girl! You have an interview!"
Rubbing her forehead, Rin sighed. "I completely forgot." She turned to look at every one. "I'll see you guys later on tonight at the dinner party. Tell Ses-"
"Sesshomaru is going with you, foolish girl!" interrupted Jaken.
Rin stiffened. Sesshomaru was going with her? Oh kami, all hell is going to break to lose. She just knew that it would turn into a disaster for so many reasons. One, Sesshomaru would probably pummel the interviewer if her looked at her wrong. Two, he'd say something about her being his mate. Three, he'd probably kill any male who said anything that she would see as a compliment.
A young man dressed in jeans and a plaid button up sat in an arm chair in front of Rin and Sesshomaru. They were sitting on a rather comfy looking love seat with a reasonable amount of space between them. Sesshomaru kept sending the poor man a glare every time he turned to Rin and asked a question. Each time the glare was sent, Rin would just sigh before smiling and answering. She kept wondering when the interview would end and finally after two hours, it ended.
It had been a week since the interview and to say Rin was stilled pissed at Sesshomaru was an understatement. She was beyond furious with the dog demon. And she wanted to beat him with a stick and make him suffer. But her way of making him suffer was simple: she forced him to go without sex. It was taking a toll on the dog demon as well.
A small giggle left Rin's lip as she remembered how she would torture him every day. You would think that he would have caught on and stopped her from even teasing him, but he didn't. Sadly, she knew that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her torture. She was going to have to find a new way to torment him. But the question was, what should she do to torture him?
Burying her nose into the over sized she shirt she had on, she breathed in the deep masculine scent of the forest mixed with something she couldn't place. Oh how she loved Sesshomaru's scent masking her own. She was she happy she could wear his clothes, well sort of wear of them. Thankfully they allowed her to wear it at her recording. She remembered what happened
~Flashback~
"Rin!" yelled her manager, Jaken. That ugly toad never knew when to shut his trap. Even in his human-like illusion he was hideous and still held his toad-like features. It was really sickening to look at him but oh well.
"Yes, Master Jaken?" Rin looked at him confused as he glared at her clothing.
"Whatis that you are wearing," he hissed out reminding Rin of a drowning cat.
"This?" Rin pointed to her shirt and Jaken nodded. "It's Sesshomaru's shirt. Why?"
"I don't car- ! Did you say Sesshomaru?" screeched Jaken in a high pitched voice.
Rin sub-consciously rubbed her ears as she nodded her head. Her eyes looked down at the white shirt that a red pattern on the shoulder resembling the haori he wore to the dance they went to together.
"Y-You can wear it foolish girl! No one ever said you had to change! Stupid human!" the little demon rattled on saying.
Rin was sure that if she had been in an anime she would have had a huge sweatdrop on the back of her head and a look on her face like two lines for her eyes and straight line for a mouth. That toad was annoying her.
"Why are you standing around! Head in there and start singing, stupid girl!" the toad barked out at her.
With a huff, Rin turned on her heel and walked into the recording room. Her fingers tightly gripped the hem of the shirt as she faced the weird microphone in front her. She placed the head phones on her head as the music began.
Heart, don't fail me now!
Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back
Now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choi-
"STOP!" yelled Jaken. "More feeling, stupid girl!"
Rin softly growled but shook her head before replying. "Yes, Master Jaken."
The music began again, this time Rin through all of her happy, sad, and wanting emotions into her voice.
Heart, don't fail me now!
Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back
Now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear!
Or how a road can seem so long
How the world can seem so vast
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you
On this journey...to the past
Rin squirmed some on the stool as she closed her eyes. The memories of when she was younger floated into her mind. Some of the memories were from her past life.
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams
Just can't be wrong
Arms still open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Fin'lly home where I belong
Well, starting here, my life begins
Starting now, I'm learning fast
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you
On this journey...to the past
Sesshomaru pushed open the door leading to where every one was watching Rin in the recording studio. There was only about four or five people. All of them had awe struck faces as Rin's voice echoed around them. Her voice naturally did that without help.
Heart don't fail me now!
Courage don't desert me!
Home, Love, Family
There was once a time
I must have had them too
Home, Love, Family
I will never be complete
Until i find you...
Tears strolled down Rin's cheek as she remembered how her family was happy once, before her mother changed. Images of the Takahasi family filled her family. She had a family now. Not by blood, but they treated her like she was a part of their family. They gave her home with her father and brother and they showed her love.
One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where
This road may go-
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Things my heart still
Needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign!
Let, this road be mine!
Let it lead me to my past
Courage see me through
Heart I'm trusting you
To bring me home...
At last!
At Last!
Rin smiled at Sesshomaru through the glass as she saw his golden eyes staring at her. Smiling, she took off the headphones and bolted out of the room and tackled the demon. Yes, she was mad at him but she had missed him since she hadn't seen him since the day before.
"Come, Rin. You did fantastic," he said stoicly. The way he always did when they were around others.
Walking out of the recording studio, their finger intertwined and not a care in the world.
~End of Flashback~
"Rin! Who the hell do you think you are touching MY Sesshomaru?" hissed the wind demoness as she jerked down the side of Rin's shirt that she borrowed from Sesshomaru.
"He is not yours. I am his mate, not you. So leave him alone," Rin said before jerking away from the demoness.
"Excuse me?" Kagura shrieked. "He was always mine to begin with!"
Rin laughed. "No he wasn't. Take a journey through the past and you'll find out he was never meant for you, Kagura."
Shaking her head, Rin made the mistake of turning her back to the wind demoness. She walked away only to hear "DANCE OF THE DRAGON!" before feeling a sharp pain rip through her back, arms, and legs. A sharp scream leaving her throat.
The last thing Rin saw before her vision blacked out was Kagura standing over her with the wicked smirk on her face before a flash of silver sent the demoness flying.
A whimper left the girl's throat as she tried to move. Every thing hurt and ached. Nothing, she couldn't remember a thing. And it was black, all she saw was black. Slowly, she tried to open her eyes only to clench them shut as the light pierced through her skull.
"So you are finally awake," came a familiarly soft feminine voice next to her. Whose voice it was, she couldn't place.
"Y-Yes," she croaked out. A startled look formed over her face since she didn't recognize her own voice.
A hand softly ran through her hair and a that was when she felt a body pressed against side and an arm around her waist with the other behind her head. Slowly, she tilted her head to the side her eyes slowly opening. The arms didn't feel familiar and that scared her. When her eyes finally opened, the widened in shock.
AN: Annnnnnd there's the end of this chapter. I'm not putting a preview of the next chapter for the reason that I don't know what will be in the next chapter. I'll post it up as soon as I can and work on it when I finally get rid of this butt called writer's block
Izayoi: We hope to see you soon, dearies!
