Day 129: Promise
Jack sat, staring at Sesshomaru as he sat staring at him while Rin was in the kitchen, trying not to make a sound as the staring match continued. Great time for me to ask if they want a drink. She nervously thought, putting two cups on the tray.
But the sound of china connecting with plastic was all they needed to break the match.
Jack sighed. "You have to do something."
"I won't."
"Sesshy, you have to. Oh thanks Rin." He added, as he took the cup off the tray. "You can't just keep turning work down. It'll ruin you."
"I have enough money to live off. I don't need any more work."
"Oh come on."
"I'm not doing it."
Jack stared at him then lifted her eyes to Rin. "Help me out here? Please?"
Rin smiled then walked over to Sesshomaru, sitting next to him and kissing his cheek. "Jack told me."
Sesshomaru stared at her in shock. "What?! No, he can't have." His eyes turned to Jack. "You promised to let me tell her!"
"Sesshomaru… please… he said that this is important, you have to do it but you keep worrying about me." She leant onto his shoulder. "It's been four months. I'm completely safe now. For me will you do it?"
He stared at her then ran his hand back in her hair. "Two months? In a country you can't follow me to?"
"I'll be fine. And Madison said she'd keep an eye on me. Please? Just go. Do your best."
The man stared at her then sighed loudly. "Alright."
"Brilliant!" Jack almost jumped out of his seat, pulling out his phone. "I'll make the arrangements!"
As he began talking on the phone, Sesshomaru turned to Rin. "How much did he tell you?"
"Only that you made him swear not to tell me what you'll be doing." Her eyes frowned. "He wouldn't tell me what you're doing only that it's very important."
He hated seeing her frown. "Rin, I'm sorry."
"Well, I know everything about you but what you do for a living." She held his face and shifted on the sofa. "Just promise me it's nothing illegal. I'd hate to find out your… some drug runner or something."
He actually smiled at her. "No, I'm not a drug runner. And I promise… when I get back… I'll tell you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
A/N: Sorry about the short chapters but… well, only so much can happen in one day.
Aww, Jack's using Rin to blackmail Sesshomaru! That's a Kagome move if I ever saw one *shakes head* Ah, oh well, it works. But he's going away… for 2 MONTHS! Man, how's poor Rin going to cope?
Ok… umm… lets go higher this time… 8
8 reviews and you get the next chapters. I am evil…
