"You don't seem to have any lasting damage, aside from bruises." Sesshomaru observed as Rin bent her neck forward for his examination. She still hadn't spoken since her father left. Sesshomaru was still reeling from the adrenaline of not beating the shit out of her father. He didn't let his fingers linger on the finger shaped bruises.
Rin was just upset that he witnessed such an event. It was embarrassing for her, to be a demon disguised as a human, to be beaten into submission like that. Her life felt like a bad soap opera.
"Thank you." Rin said Tipping her head back. Sesshomaru just gave her a knowing glance, but she still felt like she needed to explain. "If you didn't come to the front door with a phony assignment, I'd be in a lot worse shape." She admitted. She was glad that Sesshomaru had been there, even if he had originally come over just to scold her. He kept her safe. How strange to feel safety from someone she frequently loathed?
"Why have you allowed this to go on for as long as it has?" Sesshomaru coolly demanded. His curiosity had gotten the better of him. He knew she wasn't his problem, but for some reason seeing her spirit being crushed the way that it was, as violently as it was, it didn't bode well with him. He couldn't figure out why.
This girl had an attitude, she was a bitch. She never allowed him to act superior in her presence; because she was sure that he was no better than she. Of course, he was superior! He was a demon. She was mortal. She was weak; she was never going to be on his socialite status. She wouldn't survive with him. She had an expiration date…
She was smart. Oh lord, was she smart. She was almost as smart as he was, especially since she skipped one of her Middle school years to be able to graduate in his class. How could he forget that she was beautiful? Inside and out. He had, had several fantasies that she was the focus of, and he had slept with her. He had lived a fantasy he had been having for years, Now he wasn't sure where to go from there.
He wasn't infatuated with her, but she was defiantly a road block in his mind. She was almost exactly the girl Sesshomaru would want except for a few menial things that meant the world to Sesshomaru. Then Sesshomaru realized why he hated her so. He had figured out what always kept her at arm's length from him. Rin was a threat to his position, everywhere...
"He is all I have." She said. Her soft voice drew him out of his thought process. "I told you that before." She said slightly annoyed. She lit another candle and took out a note book. She began to write.
"I understand that, but why don't you fight back?" He demanded. He clearly had a different relationship with his father, then Rin had with hers.
"I think there is something wrong with him. There is a reason he drinks. It's not only about my mother. It's something else. He is like bipolar or something." Rin explained. "I don't know who my father is, but I have a place to live, that is rent free. Besides his mood swings and ignorance to my everyday life, it's not so bad. I rarely see him. He's always off at a bar. Or he is with this woman, apparently." Rin vented.
"There is still no call for abuse. You are a woman!" Sesshomaru growled. She still hadn't answered him. Why?
"But you tripping me in hallways and lifting up my skirts with your friend, Jaken, is behavior I deserve!" Rin yelled back. She was right, just because he was threatened by her intelligence and her beauty and perhaps even envious of being as free as she was, was no excuse for his cruelty to her. Once more, that was something he would never say out loud.
"We aren't talking about my actions." Sesshomaru interrupted her.
"Or did I deserve to have you trick me into having sex with you?" Rin demanded. She saw red. Her vision blurred, she was angry. If she wasn't careful she was going to lose her cover again. She had been so careful to not let anyone find out about what she was, and she was coming close to blowing a second time in one day! Sesshomaru didn't respond that time. He only sighed. She was right. She defiantly didn't deserve that. That was for his selfish triumph, and nothing more.
"It was wrong of me to consider your purity just an unfortunate pawn in my conquest of your submission." He said. This only infuriated Rin further. So, he admitted that he did it for just shits and giggles. She was going to kill him.
Before she realized what, she was doing, Rin hit him. She shocked herself when her fist connected with his chest. Rin hit him again with her other fist and was even more surprised to find that he wasn't trying to stop her. He didn't even make a sound. She hit him over and over, and he just let her.
He understood how Kagura went down so easily against this girl over the past years, Rin knew how to hit. On top of that, she could hit hard. He couldn't place where all her strength came from, but it certainly seemed unnatural for someone of her stature. Rin knew she had to calm down, but she couldn't bring herself to stop beating the man that she had wanted to obliterate since they were children. If she didn't calm down soon, she was going to lose herself again.
Rin wasn't sure how long she was hitting him, but after some time Sesshomaru grabbed her arms and pinned her struggling form to the bed. He leaned over her small frame, not in a seductive way, but just in a way to say that she had done enough damage to him. It was time to stop.
"You are such a bastard!" She cried out. She thought about spitting on him, but she wasn't in the best position for that.
"Tell me something I don't know sweetheart." He replied coldly and condescendingly.
"I don't know why I'm so upset; I know what kind of man you are!" She struggled to break free from his grasp but gasped in pain as she moved her torso in the wrong direction. Her buzz had defiantly worn off. She missed the warmth and the tingling sensation her body had know not an hour earlier.
"If you stop hitting me, I'll let you smoke more." Sesshomaru said cautiously. For a moment Rin considered this. She didn't like the idea of just turning to drugs to forget her life, the way he was suggesting. Yet she did want to experience the sensation of that again. When would she have the time to do it again before he father returned in a few weeks? If he managed to be gone as long as he promised. He never was true to his word about his returns. Part of Rin believed that he did it just play with her mind and keep her on her toes.
"Fine," Rin said. It was obvious that she was defeated. Even if she was in her demon form, she doubted she could take on Sesshomaru. She might have been a bit faster, but she wasn't ever going to be as strong as he was. "Because I feel like I'm dying!" Sesshomaru smirked.
After his first high, he was a goner as well. Rin wouldn't believe how angry of a child he was before he began to smoke. The Brainiac, cold, and cruel man she knew was the mellowed-out version of how he used to be. He could almost guarantee that if he and Rin had a mutual understanding of each other then they might be able to become smoke buddies. Friends with this woman would be an interesting prospect. "Would you like to do it yourself?" He asked as he released her and began packing the bowl of his pipe. Rin nodded curtly.
"You go first." She chirped. She didn't want to be stoned before him, and she wanted to see how it was done again. What if he just got her stoned again and took advantage of her, again… She wasn't prepared for that, yet she secretly hoped it would happen. Sesshomaru obliged. He took four hits and then passed Rin the pipe after refilling it with the smelly green flakes.
She held it the way that he had showed her and waited for his confirmation as to if she was doing it correctly. Once he nodded his head, she lit the lighter he handed her and put the bowl to her lips. She held it at a poor angle and burned the corner of her thumb, she gasped in pain taking far too much smoke into her lungs. She was coughing again, but she deemed the process a worthy one, especially since it was going to keep her pain levels down.
Sesshomaru grabbed the bowl from her quickly and held her hands above her head. She was coughing harder than he was comfortable with. Soon after she stopped she held her hand out again and took another couple drags. Her throat was raw, but she could feel a familiar tingle in a forehead that slowly crept across her face.
"Ow!" She giggled. "I burned my thumb!" Sesshomaru took the digit into his mouth and sucked on it gently, using his tongue to coat it with his saliva. The burning sensation instantly dissipated.
"Better?" He asked, removing her thumb from his mouth. He watched Rin set the bowl down on her bed, as she began to giggle. Oh yes, she was better.
Rin was higher than he ever dared become around other people. Sesshomaru was always in a state of constant buzz, not like Rin, who probably couldn't stand if she tried. A giggle, a giggle was his answer. Again, she started fiddling with the drapes that were hanging from her bed. With her father out of the picture she felt more freedom to act out on her urges, which were very silly.
"Oh, my god!" Rin gasped. She curled under her comforter and was feeling her sheets. "This feels amazing!" Rin was giggling. She wanted to touch everything, and it was obvious that she had little control over what she was doing. Either that, or she just didn't care about her company was any longer.
Sesshomaru recognized some of her motions, her stances. The things that interested her, were the same as the things that interested him when he was as high as she was for the first time. She was almost animalistic, and she was fast. Very fast. Even though she couldn't balance, she was faster than any other human he had ever seen. What was she? She looked, and smelled and tasted like a human, but in the back of his mind something was telling him it was all a lie. Her eyes caught his for a second… She looked like a predator, until she started to giggle once more.
"Everything feels sensational when you are as high as you are," Sesshomaru stated blankly. He for a moment considered taking a few more hits, then he could soar with her as well, but perhaps it wasn't the best idea. He needed to take more time to study her.
"Sure," Was all Rin said. She was on the floor digging under her bed. All sorts of clothes came out from under her bed. Sesshomaru was very confused as to what she was doing. "I'm wicked hot!"
Before Sesshomaru even processed what was happening he watched Rin whisk herself into her closet. "What the fuck are you doing?" He heard her falling and heard something large hit the floor. "You better not be getting hurt in there!" Sesshomaru said. If something bad happened to Rin, then he would be held responsible. Also, now that he realized that she wasn't so bad a person, it would be regrettable to have to lose his entertainment because she had a bad high.
She was out in a flash though. She had changed from her jeans and sweater into thin grey leggings and a plain blue tank top. The clothes fit against her form perfectly. He could now see every curve of her body. The soft rounds of her breasts teased him through the fabric, as did the shape of her hips. He remembered how perfectly her bottom fit in his hands, she was as perky as a deer with taught skin as she was bent over before him. All Sesshomaru could do was raise an eye brow and stare.
"This is sooo much better!" Rin exclaimed. He nodded in agreement. The only thing that would have made her more attractive was If her skin was the same ivory color all over her body. She would have looked perfect. The bruises were splotchy and were all over her torso. Her legs were perfect. The only bruising there looked like she had fallen from a skateboard.
"I'd have to agree." He wanted another hit. He took it. He took a few more and offered the pipe to Rin again. She had been watching him. She had a curious look in her eyes, and Sesshomaru noticed that she smirked only the slightest amount when the pipe was offered again. She took it and pulled in a few seriously deep hits.
"You look, 'done'," Rin said with air quotes. She began a serious giggling fit. Sesshomaru chuckled with her. She was right. All Sesshomaru had been doing, was watching her every movement. Every twitch of her finger, every bat of her lashes. Since she had changed into cooler clothing, she had just been standing up aimlessly pacing along her room. Touching nick knacks and various things she had collected during her youth as if she wondered why she had bothered to keep them.
"I believe you are as well." Sesshomaru took his pipe back and set it on her night stand. The quick touch of his hands as he took the pipe send shivers down her spine. Again she wondered how he managed to do that so easily.
"Thank you," Rin said softly. This took Sesshomaru back a bit. Why would she say thank you to him? "I've never felt this free before, it's amazing. And I never thought I'd have you to thank for freedom."
"I never thought I would tell you that you are welcome." He said. Sesshomaru grabbed her hands as she passed by him and pulled her back onto the bed. She wasn't looking to steady. Rin didn't fight him, but she didn't land on the bed. She landed once again on Sesshomaru. Only this time neither of them was disgusted about it. "Hn." Was the only sound he made when her weight collided onto his lap. She certainly wasn't the most graceful person.
"You are so warm…" Rin said. He of course was still stuck in his school uniform. She tentatively ran a hand over his white shirt She could feel his heat through the thin white fabric. Instead of moving herself to the bed, she made herself comfortable on his lap. Her hands slowly explored his chest. She was so slow and cautious, as if Sesshomaru would object to her soft body sitting on his lap. He welcomed her soft frame against his.
"You're so…" Was as much as Sesshomaru could manage to say before Rin touched her lips to his softly, and then sharply retracted herself. She brought her fingers to her lips as if she herself couldn't believe she kissed him again.
She looked like she might get slapped for what she had done. Her big doe eyes were soft, and innocent, making her look like a child. Instead of the voluptuous woman he knew her to be. He decided then that He didn't like to see her scared of him. He didn't want to be responsible for that look being on her face ever again.
In an instant his lips were on hers again in a fierce and passionate kiss, she allowed herself to melt into him. Rin was by no means easy, but she had already had sex with Sesshomaru, for an entire weekend, what was there to lose? Besides at least this time, she was ready. That was her plan. This time she knew what she was doing, and she planned on rocking his world. If she distracted him with something he couldn't resist, the less he would be studying her. Perhaps he would forget all the questions he always seemed to have. Hopefully he would just forget himself within her.
Sesshomaru grabbed Rin by the bottom and pulled her bottom as close to him as she could get. The new contact made Rin gasp. The sensations she was feeling were beyond anything she had ever felt before. Each sensation felt completely new. Being stoned had changed everything. Every grasp, every finger light touch sent chills through her body. The same could be said for Sesshomaru who let out a series of groans as Rin pressed herself into his groin.
Sesshomaru took the opportunity of Rin's gasp to escape her hungry mouth begin nibbling and sucking on Rin's collar bone. He let one of his hands wander to her breasts, while using the other to arch her even closer to him yet. Rin kept grinding her self over his hardening member. She could feel it growing beneath her through the fabric of their pants.
Being in her inebriated state, Rin couldn't even form the right syllables to make her lover's name."Sessunas… Fuuck… Sessshhhh…. Ahhhhh" Sesshomaru began kissing her chest and eventually during her failed attempts on his name, he latched onto one of Rin's erect nipples through her tank top and bit down. "MARUUU…" She groaned in pleasure.
"Maru?" Sesshomaru questioned. He had to admit, it was a far cry better than Fluffy. He wouldn't admit it, but he didn't mind it. He would allow it. Rin didn't answer, her mouth just found his again and she pushed him back against the bed. She laid down directly on top of him and knotted her fingers in his long mane. Sesshomaru was too high to care about foreplay and pulled Rin's shirt and bra over her head together in one smooth motion. It wasn't long until she pulled his shirt off as well, accidentally popping off a couple of his buttons in the process. Rin pushed herself up, so she had one leg on each side of Sesshomaru and was grinding against his manhood harder. She looked almost like a cow girl with one had in her hair, the other on his chest with her head thrown back enjoying the new sensations.
Sesshomaru flipped her over dragged his tongue across her flat stomach from her navel to between her breasts, leaving a wet trail across her. Rin grabbed at his belt but had a very difficult time, she couldn't figure out how to work it, Sesshomaru had it off in moments. Rin's own leggings and panties were torn from her body next. Sesshomaru shimmied his own pants down as he clumsily positioned himself above Rin. Sesshomaru looked down at her naked body, and took every inch of it in. He memorized every muscle, every scar. He even noticed the light outline of a star shaped birthmark over her left breast through a fading scar.
He didn't care about how many bruises she had, he just wanted to feel her. All of her. He wanted to make her heart race, and to see sweat form above her brows as she cried out and begged him for more. The previous weekend they had shared together came flooding back into his mind and he was more than ready to rock Rin's world once more.
However, things didn't go as he had planned, because as soon as Sesshomaru had nestled himself between her, Rin gave him a devilish smile she threw all her weight into her chest flipping them over once more. Rin hovered over him unknowingly showing him a large degree of dominance. Sesshomaru tried to flip them over, but Rin was very agile and kept herself from being caught. She was going to make sure he knew who was boss this time around.
She knew how to handle her dignity, stoned or not.
Eventually Sesshomaru, yes, the Sesshomaru gave in. He laid back and growled at the small woman above him. "Do you want me to stop?" She teased. The tension he felt was too great, his need to feel her was too strong to play her games any longer.
He positioned himself beneath her, and gently pulled her hips down onto him. Rin cried out in pleasure, and Sesshomaru gritted his teeth. "No!" He growled loudly through his clenched teeth. I don't!" He began to mover her hips at a pace he was happy with, she might have won the fight for sexual dominance, but he was going to have some control. Rin called his name again… or at least her version of it.
"Maru!" Yes… He could get used to hearing that.
"Yes," He groaned from beneath her. He began moving her faster and bounced with her thrusts. If his hands were not holding her meaty hips in place she surely would have fallen off him, he couldn't have that.
It was difficult for him to believe that he could very well be regularly fucking the girl he had wanted since Jr. Highschool. "Yes," He groaned over and over. Rin was good at what she was doing. She had defiantly picked up on some of the things Sesshomaru was a fan of over their weekend rendezvous.
She would change her pace, and her weight distribution; she was teasing him in the cruelest ways possible. Whenever she found a spot he was really enjoying, she would switch it up and torment her lover some more. She stopped arching her back up and leaned herself forward and latched lips with Sesshomaru. "How are you doing?" She asked sweetly. Still grinding herself against him she moaned against his mouth. A devilish smile graced her lips and she sat straight up on him once more.
"I'd be better if you got back down here." Sesshomaru said. He pulled himself back up to her lips and pulled her close to him. His mouth claimed hers once more, and Rin gave into him completely. However, she wouldn't give up her position on top of him. Every time he tried to overpower her she whined in disapproval. She was very adamant about what she wanted to do to him. Rin still fought him for the top. He spent the entire weekend dominating her; it was her turn to return the favor.
Sesshomaru took the hint and scooted them both up further so his back was resting against Rin's head board. She then continued to ride him. Sesshomaru ran his hands up and down her back, one hand had a constant grip on her bottom, helping her to maintain a steady pace and pressure on him. Their chests pressed together so tight that there was no space between them, both were slick with sweat and clinging to each other as if they wished to never stop.
Sesshomaru decided to latch onto one of Rin's nipples, and she screamed out in pleasure. After a few moments he moved to the other breast, and then he just sucked on her neck. He seemed to favor her collar bones. "Maru, that hurts." Rin managed in ragged breaths. Sesshomaru continued to ravage her through her protests. He moaned into her neck. Even though he was hurting her Rin couldn't stop bouncing on top of him.
She was close, and by how clingy Sesshomaru was getting, she could tell that he was close too. "Maru, please!" She cried out. Even she was unsure of what that meant. Please stop? Please don't stop? Please, fuck me? Harder, please? Neither one cared.
Sesshomaru began to help her quicken her pace. Both began feeling a tight coil of pressure build in their abdominal areas. Rin arched herself back in ecstasy, her movements were so sharp that Sesshomaru lost his suction on her collar bone, and just leaned forward and nuzzled his face in Rin's breasts. Rin hugged his head close to her as the coil broke within her allowing her to orgasm around Sesshomaru's throbbing member. "Maru!" Rin screamed in pleasure.
"Rin, Oh god Rin." Sesshomaru moaned. When Rin began to lose momentum, he continued to move her above him, so they could both ride out their waves of pleasure together. They both fell to the side and held each other. They were both twitching slightly as they tried catching their breath. What and experience.
"That was amazing..." Rin sighed against his neck. He legs felt like jelly, she couldn't remember ever having such a work out. She took in Sesshomaru's breathless form and felt proud of herself. She had made the Ice Prince weak. She had been the one to seduce him… Not that it was much of a seduction.
"You are certainly honing your abilities quite well." Sesshomaru mused. The words pierced her sharply. Only Sesshomaru would be able to make the first he said after sex sound like she was being graded. Rin scoffed at him. Of course, he would find the cruelest thing to say after something that felt so wonderful. He stretched himself out, making himself look like he had grown another foot. "Very good." He added at hearing her dissatisfaction with his response. Why was she upset now?
"Well, good." Rin said clearly annoyed still. She sat up and glared at her dark walls. "Glad it was a good time!"
"What do you want me to say?" Sesshomaru stated blankly. Of course, he wouldn't understand. Why would he. He obviously didn't feel shame for the situation.
"I don't want you to say anything." What could he say? Nothing he would or could say would make her feel any better. She just fucked Sesshomaru, again. She swore she was done after the weekend, but here she was again. Also, once again, he left a giant mark on her neck.
She was a stupid and weak woman. "I want to not feel like a fucking whore is what I want. But that's all I seem to be feeling, and you have no problem letting me feel that way!" Rin screamed. She completely crawled away from him and sat at the foot of her bed. She was embarrassing herself, so much for keeping the upper hand. Why did he get under her skin so easily?
"You threw yourself at me, and you're a gorgeous woman… Why would I deny myself that?" He asked logically. He sat up himself and stared at Rin's naked back. He smiled at the scratch marks he didn't realize he had left. Those were the kind marks he liked to see on her soft flesh.
"I threw myself at you?" Rin screamed. She couldn't really argue with that… She was the one who broke the tension between them. but she never would have done anything like that if Sesshomaru hadn't have gotten her stoned and made her feel safe… Who was he to do that? Pretend to be a decent guy… No, he was being decent. She was the one who was over reacting, what was wrong with her? Rin obviously hadn't learned from their weekend together.
"You wait until I am in some cluster fuck of emotional trauma, and either pulls some really gentleman like move, or inebriate me, then you… did you just call me gorgeous?" The realization of his compliment made her feel slightly less dirty. A lot less dirty.
"Surely you must know how attractive you are." He said blankly and looked at her. He scooched down the bed towards her, and he traced the marks on her back. She still wouldn't face him. He considered licking them to heal them, but he decided to enjoy his handy work a while longer.
"No, I am not." Rin admitted. She was being honest. She never really did find herself attractive. She spent her whole life hiding from what she was, feeling the shame of hiding her true abilities. Her true beauty. Sesshomaru didn't know how to take her answer. She didn't know she was beautiful, or she didn't want to admit that she was. Either way he thought she was wrong.
"How can you think that? You are the most beautiful human, I have ever seen." He said into her hair.
Human. The most beautiful human. She silently fumed; she should be the most beautiful demon he had ever seen.
"Just stop." Rin said. She wanted to cry. Then she felt the warm soft touch of his lips to her shoulder. What was he doing? He kissed her neck and wrapped his long arms around her small frame. Why was he trying to comfort her? "Enough!" Rin barked. A tear fell down her face, and she tried to pull away, but Sesshomaru wouldn't let her go.
"What happened to you?" He asked. He sensed there was something deeply wrong that Rin was trying to hide. Her tears proved it. He turned her around to face him while she struggled against him. Once he had her facing him he held her close and wiped the tears from her cheeks. She wasn't faking her tears to earn his pity. She was really crying.
"No offense, but you've never given me any reason to trust you." Rin stated and pulled away again. She received only a grunt in return.
"Want some bud to calm you down?" He kissed her again. He wouldn't pressure her for answers any more that night. She had already had a very trying day. He wanted her to giggle again.
"No. If we end up fucking again, I want to be sober for it." Rin said kissing him back. What could she say? He knew just how to change her thought processes. In a few moments he had her pressed against the bed again. She sighed as he nipped and licked at her collar bones and ran his tongue along the hollow of her throat. His subconscious was trying to will away her sadness.
"I like you when you feel free. I like to listen to your giggles. Don't be ashamed…" Sesshomaru whispered into her ear. The vibrations tickled her and sent chills straight to her already throbbing womanhood. "I think you do too. Do not think I am judging you for allowing yourself to feel comfort." He reasoned. He tugged her head gently to the side by her hair and licked her neck gently. Rin sniffled and nodded against him.
He hated the smell of her tears, and he would do anything he possibly could to make them stop.
"You know, Inuyasha, We haven't seen Rin all day!" Kagome sighed. They had only been dating for a few days, and they already argued like a married couple. In truth nothing much had changed from their previous relationship except the fact that they held hands and kissed.
"Dad said I could have a party!" Inuyasha said. He really wanted to change the subject. Rin had been acting strange lately, and Inuyasha was willing to bet that she had some things to take care of that she didn't want to talk about. After Yuki attacked her, she just seemed to breeze through the school without staying in one place for too long.
She attended her classes all week and sat through detention silently. Rin had a lot on her mind. Kagome might have seen what had happened, but she shut down in fear for her friend. She ran away quickly when the Dean came and sent everyone away. Inuyasha remembered every detail of what happened. He remembered the horrible stench of his best friend's fear, just remembering it made him sick. He was glad Kagome didn't remember it.
Knowing Rin, the way he did, he knew that they would see her again when she had fixed whatever she was struggling with. Rin was a master at compartmentalizing. She could keep herself together much better than Inuyasha ever could. They were alike in the sense that they hated share their more sensitive emotions. It embarrassed them both too much.
"Don't change the subject." Kagome scowled. She removed herself from his arms and crossed the floor to the window. She was worried, and when Kagome was curious about something she always had a way of finding out what she wanted. "Can we take a walk over to her place? She has been acting really strange lately."
"No," Inuyasha said flatly. He needed no time to even think about a different answer. He didn't consider however how much trouble he'd be in for it.
"You aren't the boss of me!" Kagome screamed and bashed Inuyasha in the side of the head with a throw pillow. Inuyasha quickly moved to the door of his room.
"I know Rin has been acting strange, but if she needed to talk about it, she would tell us. We all have problems we have to face alone; maybe she has just found hers." The only thing he was sure of, was that Rin had been sad for a long time. Longer than Kagome realized.
"No one should have to go through something this big alone. I just don't want her to do something reckless and hurt herself!" Kagome cried out. Rin's sudden spurts of depression had Kagome quite worried about her. Sango would have noticed it too if she could keep her face off Miroku's for more than five minutes at a time.
"She isn't going to hurt herself; we'd be able to smell that kind of sadness, Kagome." Inuyasha reasoned. She knew he was right, but she just hated not knowing what was going on with that girl 24/7. Since Rin was supposed to be a junior to them, Kagome always tried to play the role of big sister. Especially because Rin's mother ran out on her. "Help me plan the party. Get your mind off it." Kagome smiled. Inuyasha really knew how to distract her. All he could hope was that she wouldn't get too out of hand with her new project.
