Calculating Life- A Fairytale of Fire and Fantasy

Enter Rin

*GIVES REVIEWERS A DOZEN COOKIES EACH*

DISCLAIMER: I do not own InuYasha. If I did, the series would be in America at the moment and Kikyo would be dead. Sesshomaru wouldn't be AS cold, Sango and Miroku would be married, and so would Kag and Inu. Enough said.

A/N: Please pray for Annie Le and her family. They have recently found her dead.

SUMMARY= InuYasha's parents have always wanted a daughter. When they adopt Kagome, everything will be as normal as regular adoptions, right? Not at all. Kagome has a past that she can't remember. When a fire strikes Kagome's old home, who will be burned? Is it possible that Kagome is a princess? Read to find out!...that is only half the story

Inu/Kag

Just to clear things up- Kagome is Princess Serena. InuYasha was InuYasha, they are all the same people. None of them were reborn. They only remember their family members. InuYasha knows Sesshomaru but not Kag. None of the friends know one another. They are all the same age as they were on the moon.

Kagome had woken that morning to find InuYasha sleeping by her side. Well...she really wasn't fully awake when she saw him.

InuYasha was watching Kagome sleep. Last night, she was screaming, so he checked on her. It was now morning. He was staring at her until 'AHHH!' Kagome screamed high pitched and slapped his face. He went flying to the other side of the room. He screamed as she screamed.

"Why are you in here and why did you scream?" she squeaked.

"I was checking on you. I don't scream." he argued. He caught her glare. "I screamed because you did...and you slapped me."

"Checking on me?" she asked meekly.

"Yeah. You were having a bad dream last night and I checked on you. I guess I kinda fell asleep." he explained, rubbing the back of his head.

"Well you didn't have to scare me to death!" she yelled.

"Oh, so what. NO THANK YOU?" InuYasha retorted.

"NO!"

"Well I WOULDN'T EXPECT ONE from YOU!" he hollered to her.

"GOOD! BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GETTING ONE!" Kagome screamed, getting closer to his face.

"Oi wench! YOU JUST DAMAGED MY EARS!" InuYasha shouted with his ears pinned to his head.

"Good, I hope I did." she told him and got up to take a shower.

"Ungrateful, bitch!" he called after her.

Kagome slid her clothes off and turned the bath on. Slowly, she slid into the water.

'Ahhh...' she sighed in her mind. 'This feels so wonderful.'

"That insensitive jerk. He is so rude. Of course I did start it...not that I will ever admit that to anyone other than myself." she whispered to herself.

"Ow!" Kagome screamed. Moments later, InuYasha darted in.

"What...what is it? Where?" he yelled, frantically glancing in all directions.

"PERVERT!" Kagome screeched and dunked down, trying to cover herself.

"You screamed!"

"Whatever." she retorted. "I just cut my leg on the razor in the tub" she told him, sticking her long, toned leg out of the bath to show him. There was a long slice on her thigh.

InuYasha looked at her long, beautiful leg. So delicate and creamy. Though she was short, her legs were pretty long. He cleaned and dressed the wound and began to walk out.

"InuYasha..." she said quietly.

"Yea? Are you going to say that you could've done it yourself or that you didn't need it cleaned?" he exclaimed.

"No...I wanted to say thanks." she whispered.

He walked out, shutting the door behind him. The inu hanyou smirked and continued his way down the hall.

After Kagome was out of the shower, she put her hair in a towel and put on her hot pink Victoria Secret robe. Kagome quickly walked to her closet and found something to wear. She put on a black cami with silver polka dots with a red American Eagle jacket over it. She put on some low rise, tight fitted Guess Jeans. Kagome put on wedged open toed red and white shoes. She added some silver dangely earrings and scrunched her hair. When she was finished, she looked at herself in the mirror and decided to take a walk.

As she walked by an alley, she heard screams. Carefully, she peaked down the dark alley. She saw a small girl, around 5 or 6, trying to get away from two men. Quickly, Kagome bent down and tore her jeans on her right leg so it was thigh length. Taped to her thigh was the gun Kouga had given her. She put it behind her back and ran down the alley.

"Let her go!" Kagome commanded in a strong, but angelic voice.

"Look, she came to join the party." smirked one guy as they advanced on her. Just then, Kagome pulled the gun from behind her back and pointed it at them. Their eyes widened and they stopped dead in their tracks. They stormed off with Kagome still aiming at them. When she was sure they were gone, Kagome ran to the girl huddled in the corner. She was sobbing harshly. Kagome put the gun in her back pocket and hugged the girl, who looked strangely like her. The girl had raven hair that went to her waist that had a side pony tail. Her eyes were a pretty green. The girl had light olive skin.

"It is okay sweety. I will not let anything hurt you. What is your name?" Kagome asked in a sweet tone.

"I-I'm R-r-rin." the girl stuttered as she tried to stop her tears. Kagome wiped the tears off of her cheek and rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"I am -" She was cut off by the girl.

"Serena." she whispered.

"W-what?" Kagome asked.

"Rin's sorry. It was the first thing that came to Rin's mind." Rin apologized.

"It is okay. Where do you live? I will take you to your parents." Kagome said. 'Serena? Could she know something about me?' she asked herself in her mind.

"I don't know where Rin lives. Rin woke up a couple of days ago at the bottom of a lake, but Rin could breathe. All Rin remembers is her parents were killed," the girl answered.

"In the bottom of a lake? I am so sorry to hear about your parents." Kagome asked shocked. Seeing the girl nod, she questioned, "Would you like to come home with me?"

"Yes." Rin nodded. Kagome got up and took the girl's hand. Kagome thought it would be good to buy Rin some clothes, so together, they walked to a clothing store.

"Rin, what is your favorite color?" Kagome questioned.

"Rin likes purple and orange."

Kagome and Rin shopped through the day and maxed out a few credit cards. It was in the evening when it began to rain.

"Come on, Rin. Do you want to walk or take the bus?" Kagome asked with a bright smile, showing her snowy white teeth.

"WALK!" Rin cheered and smiled back.

"I was hoping you would say that. I love walking in the rain." Kagome told her as they began walking. Rin was starting to get sleepy, so Kagome picked her up and let her ride on her back. Rin had fallen asleep before five minutes was up.

They arrived at the Takahashi Mansion 15 minutes later and Kagome opened the door. Izayoi was cooking dinner in the kitchen. "Izayoi!" Kagome called from the door.

"Yes, dear?" she asked.

"Come here for a second!" Kagome shouted.

"Coming!" she yelled back and came running from the kitchen. When she saw Rin, she said, "Oh my, who's this?"

"This is Rin. I found her today, getting ready to be raped." Kagome answered.

"Oh dear." Izayoi gasped.

"I want to keep her. She said that she woke up at the bottom of a lake about three days ago. Like I woke up at the bottom of the well." Kagome told her.

"How is that possible?" Izayoi asked.

"I really do not know," she said, "But I intend to find out." Kagome added as an after thought.

"Don't we need to give her back to her parents?" Izayoi questioned thoughtfully.

"She does not have any, said they were killed." Kagome told her sadly.

"Oh, the poor thing. Bless her little heart. Why don't you take her to your room and help me with dinner." Izayoi said.

"Sure thing." Kagome said and bounced the girl up on her back to get a good grip. She hauled her up the stairs and to her room. Kagome laid the girl on her bed and climbed her metal staircase. She went to her closet and put on zebra print girl boxers. They said 'DANCER' on the butt in hot pink letters. She put on a hot pink tank top that said 'Kagome' on the chest in zebra print letters. She straightened her hair and it stopped just below her butt. Kagome softly padded barefoot back down her stairs to find Rin awake.

"Kagome, where were you? I was scared." Rin admitted.

"I am sorry. I had to go change clothes. Do you want to help Izayoi and I make dinner?" she asked as Rin nodded. Rin changed into some black sweat pants with an orange tank top (awww Halloween Child!). They both went downstairs to the kitchen and helped Izayoi.

"Izayoi, this is Rin." Kagome said as Rin stepped into the kitchen.

"Awww! She is so kawaii!" Izayoi squealed and hugged Rin.

"Can't...breathe." was Rin's muffled reply.

"Sorry honey." Izayoi apologized.

"What are we having?" Kagome asked.

"Beef and veggie stew, fried noodles, shrimp, cabbage rolls, udon, salmon and noodles, ravioli, and lasagna." Izayoi answered. Kagome and Rin were practically drooling. They got started cooking and were finished just in time. The guys packed into the dining area acting like starving animals.

"Guys, I have someone I would like you to meet." Kagome announced as Rin stepped from behind her. "This is Rin."

"Hi" Rin said shyly. She glanced at Sesshomaru and blushed.

"Where did you come from?" InuYasha asked. Miroku, who was staying the night, piped up,

"Well, InuYasha, it is a difficult process for the woman but, when a man-" he was hit over the head by InuYasha. All three girls giggled.

"Actually, Kagome saved me from these big men. Rin thinks of Kagome-chan as an Okaasan now." Rin explained. Everyone's hearts were warmed...or maybe by the food, but anyhow.

*later that night*

"Rin, I have something to give you." Kagome said and led her to her room. She pulled out a box from under her bed and gave it to Rin. Inside were two things. Rin pulled out the first and examined it. It was an orange kimono with green bubbles and checkers. Rin smiled widely. She loved it!

The second thing was a beautiful Japanese porcelain doll. She was in a red silk kimono with her long hair left down. The doll's hair went to the back of her shins. The hair was silky midnight and had orniments in it. Her skin was almost like snow. The details of the doll were hand-painted. Her lips were painted cherry and her eyes were sapphire/violet. There was a small blush on her cheeks. The doll was beautiful!

"Oh! Kagome-chan thank you!" Rin squealed and hugged Kagome as tight as she could with a huge smile on her face. Kagome hugged back like a mother would a daughter. Soon, Rin had fallen asleep in Kagome's bed. Kagome turned off the lights and kissed Rin on the forehead.

"Goodnight, Rin." Kagome whispered.
