Disclaimer: I own. Absolutely. Nothing. No songs used in any chapters. No characters. No references. And I definitely don't own Inuyasha.
-O-o-O-o-O-
Jazz: Hola, wonderful readers!
Layla: What's up?
Aqua: Nice to see you guys.
Kelsey: Hey, people!
Marie: Hi everyone!
Layla: Well, Marie's practically part of our gang now. So, of course, she can drop by anytime she wants.
Aqua: And, of course, we're hoping to see more of Marie soon, because when we finish this story, if you guys don't remember, we're hitting it off with the sequel and another story.
Kelsey: If you guys are like Marie and maybe wanna co-write with us, we'll be glad to think about it.
Jazz: Totally, you guys are amazing! Loves to you all!
-O-o-O-o-O-
Kilala and Sango ran from the room where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were as fast and quietly as they could.
"Guys…we have to get to Rin! Now!" Kilala hissed.
"Why-" Bankotsu began in a loud voice, but Sango put a hand over his mouth.
"Listen here, Bankotsu. There are certain things you can do with hairspray, Nair, and superglue. And sooner or later, you're gonna have to go to sleep. Now, shut up. Or else." Sango hissed, her eyes narrowing at Bankotsu, who weakly nodded.
"Okay, anyone know where Rinny and Kags are? We gotta get to them, like now!" Kilala scanned the room, her eyes wide and excited.
"They went home, and Rin's still sick, so their probably still there." Hakudoshi shrugged, picking up a DS.
Kilala and Sango traded a glance, and ran out the door, slamming it behind them.
"Wonder what they're doing…" Kanna asked aloud.
"I wonder what the hell she can do with that stuff…" Bankotsu shuddered. The girls laughed and the guys smirked and shook their heads.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"Hello, girls." Kikyo said, smiling down at her sisters, who laid on the ground, staring at the clouds.
"And there went my good mood…" Kagome muttered, sitting up, glaring at her sister.
"Oh, come on, Kaggy. Don't be like that. I know we've had some differences-" Kikyo began.
"Differences? Please. You dragged me into an alley, threatened my life, and hate the guts of me and all my friends." Kagome narrowed her eyes at Kikyo, helping Rin up.
"Yeah, but those are small things, because you know-" Kikyo tried again.
"Listen, Kinky-hoe, we may be twins, but we're nothing alike. And I've known you and your heartless, cold self to know there's something going on. Now what is it?" Kagome interrupted…again.
"Nothing. Sorry ladies, but I gotta go! My Inu-baby told me what happened to him, and Kikyo is gonna go make it all better. My way." Kikyo smirked evilly, waved, and turned and strutted off in the direction of the Takahashi residence.
"Inuyasha…called her…?" Kagome whispered, hand held to her chest, curled in a fist. She hung her head, tears filling her eyes. She fell to her knees in the garden, crumbling over. Her worst nightmare had come true…Inuyasha didn't want her. She was a washed up toy. All he wanted was Kikyo.
"Kagome…Kagome? Kagome, everything's gonna be okay…come on, Kagome. Lets go to your favorite part of town." Rin encouraged, helping her sister to her feet, and putting her arms over Kagome's shoulder. Kagome didn't raise her head, put Rin lead her away from their home, from the Takahashi residence.
-O-o-O-o-O-
As Kilala and Sango ran, Kilala turned her head to the brunette running along side her.
"How do we tell Rin? What do you think she'll do? Should we-umpf!" Kilala was interrupted when she crashed into another body, and the both fell backwards.
Without looking at the person, Kilala stood up and brushed herself off.
"I'm really sorry, I should've watched where I was goi-" Kilala began.
"Don't waste your breath, Lala." Sango hissed, glaring at the person now standing up. Kilala followed her gaze, and her breath caught. It was Kikyo.
"You should've watched where you were going. Now, move. My Inu-baby needs me!" Kikyo declared.
"Yeah right. He gags whenever your around. He gets diarrhea if he hears your name. And if he even thinks about you, for whatever reason, he loses another bit of sanity." Sango scoffed. Kikyo's eyes sparkled.
"He thinks about me? Ha, I told you all. He never loved my little flat-chested, virgin sister. He always wanted me, the original, the beautiful, the great!" Kikyo smiled at the sky, hands on her hip.
"Wow, Kikyo. Whilst every girl has the right to be ugly, you seem to have abused that privilege." Kilala rolled her eyes. Kikyo glanced at them, shoved them out of the way, and strutted down the sidewalk to the Takahashi estate.
"He should get a restraining order…" Kilala shook her head. Sango nodded agreement. "But now's not the time for that! Come on, Sango! We gotta get to Rin, like now!" And the two began running to the Higurashi Shrine again.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"Come on, Kags! We're at your favorite place!" Rin exclaimed, gesturing around them. They were at the Miko Balcony, or so it was called.
It was just an outdoor restaurant, but the waiters and waitresses always went on roller skates. Then there was the fact that there was a karaoke stage. Rin always made sure to find at least one in every town they went to, but the Miko Balcony was definitely Kagome's favorite.
"Kags! Cheer up!" Rin encouraged, hugging her sister. Rin was at a loss, and wondered if Kagome had felt like this when she herself had gone mute.
"I love you Kags, but your forcing me to do this." Rin shrugged, and went up to the microphone.
"Hey everybody!" Rin said loudly, and the audience quieted down to turn and listen to her. "Well, this song goes out to my sister. I want her to actually cheer up, but she won't. If any of you know this song, please join in!" Rin smiled and cleared her throat
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
As Rin started to repeat, some of the audience joined in. Girls only, of course. The guys wouldn't do that no matter what.
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, you love me
We're one happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me and you
Won't you say you love me too
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! Just shut up! I'm happy. I'll be happy forever. I'll do anything, just shut up! The evil overlord of darkness is terrible, why are you singing his evil take over the world song? You're all a bunch of crazies!" Kagome yelled, throwing her hands through the air and standing up, covering her ears.
"Um, yeah folks. She's always had issues with Barney. Don't know why. Thanks for all your help!" Rin smiled and waved as she ran off stage to join her sister.
"Your insane." Kagome glared at Rin, who smiled and sat down.
"That fact is very true, but it accomplished my goal." Rin shrugged.
"Something is very wrong with you…" Kagome shook her head.
"Well, that is always true. Oh, look Kags. It's Akitoki, Hojo's brother. And Hojo's with him. And, they are both totally checking you out." Rin gestured to her left, and Kagome glanced over. Sure enough, Hojo and his brother Akitoki were ogling her.
"Oh Kami…I wonder if everyone already knows about me and Inuyasha…" Kagome murmured.
"I doubt that, Kagome. Those boys are totally into you. Their both kinda cute, but Hobo's annoying, and Akitoki is just…well…the klutz of the century." Rin nodded her head in Akitoki's direction as he tried to stand up.
Instead, he tripped forward and fell into a skating by waitress, spilling the hot soup she was carrying all over himself. Both sisters put their hands over their mouths to smother their giggles. Neither succeeded. They both burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter along with the rest of the crowd.
Already, for Kagome, things were already starting to look better with a new good attitude.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"Inu baby! I'm here, no need to fret!" Kikyo announced, opening the door without knocking. She waved her hands in the air, posing in the door frame.
The whole room was quiet, glaring at Kikyo. Inuyasha turned the corner to see what the loud and obnoxious noise had been, but stopped dead in his tracks. That definitely was not the Higurashi he wanted to see…ever again. Kanna was the first to speak up.
"Is there a particular reason you're here? Parading around like a slut? Or is that just you're natural personality?" Kanna asked, leaning back on silver coffee table with a glass tabletop.
"Of course I'm here for a reason. I'm here because I heard that my Inu Baby dumped my annoying little sister. So, I'm here because I know he realizes she's a little copy bitch, trying to be like me. And he wanted the original…" Kikyo replied without glancing at Kanna, strutting over to Inuyasha, who back away slowly until his back hit a wall.
Aw shit! I'm trapped in a corner with the Bitchy Slut monster!
Inuyasha thought, frightfully looking for a way to escape without hurting Kikyo, but it was no use. To his right, was a glass cabinet, and to his left, the large China cabinet…with glass in it. He had no where to go.
-O-o-O-o-O-
By the time Kilala and Sango reached the top of the Higurashi Shrine steps, they were both panting and out of breath.
"How…how the hell…does Kagome…do this…everyday?" Kilala asked, hand over her chest as she attempted to catch her breath…unsuccessfully.
"Who knows?" Sango asked, bending over at the waste, coughing and panting.
"No time…for rest…we gotta…get…Rin!" Kilala choked out, taking a few deep breaths. Sango copied the action.
The girls ran forward and rapidly knocked on the door before Kagome's little brother, Sota, finally answered.. Sota was one of Kohaku's closest friends, despite the age difference. They were mainly close friends because their sisters were so close.
"Hey Lala, hey Sango. What's wrong?" Sota asked, looking at the girls strangely, like he wasn't expecting them. He probably wasn't.
"Where's Kags? And Rin?" Sango asked, looking past the doorway.
"Well, we thought they went to hang out with you guys. They left a while ago. Why?" Sota looked between the two girls, who looked at him strangely.
"Not here? Then where are they?" Kilala asked Sota, bending over some to look Sota straight into the eye.
"I don't know. Like I said, we thought she was with you guys. Sorry." Sota shrugged, and the two girls nodded and waved before they started down the steps again and Sota closed the door.
Just as they were running down the sidewalk, to look for their friends at the park, a young voice stopped them.
"Sango! Kilala!" The voice called out excitedly. The two girls turned and smiled at the girl, even though they didn't have much time to talk.
"Hey Hitomi, what's up?" Kilala asked as the girl ran over to stand in front of them.
"Nothing. Have you seen Kagome?" Hitomi asked. She was a young girl, cute, in Sota's class actually. She even sat right next to him. Hitomi has always had this adoration for Kagome and Rin, because they were like role models.
"No, sorry. We're looking for her and Rin now. Why?" Sango replied, glancing around, wondering where the two Higurashi sisters had gone.
"Well, my class is doing an assignment. We have to write about someone we admire…but they can't be totally famous. Well, when you find her, can you tell her I need her?" Hitomi smiled at the two older girls.
"Sure, Tomi." Kilala smiled, using Hitomi's nickname. Hitomi nodded, smiled again, and ran off in the opposite direction.
"Okay, where were we off to again?" Sango asked, her head whipping back and forward as if she was expecting Kagome and Rin to jump out of the bushes.
"The park. Come on, let's go." Kilala ran forward, and Sango caught up to her, running at her side.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"I really do feel better, Rin. Thanks." Kagome smiled at her sister, and lifted her smoothie into the air.
"No problem, Kagome." Rin lifted her smoothie and the two tapped their's together.
"Hey, Kagome." A nervous voice said. The two looked up and saw Akitoki, Hojo's brother. Akitoki was a year older than them.
"Hi Akitoki…" They both replied unenthusiastically.
"Oh…hello Rin…" Akitoki ran a hand through his ponytail.
There was an awkward silence that followed neither Rin or Kagome wish to fill. They were enjoying Akitoki's nervousness far too much to try that. Eventually though, he seemed to understand they wanted him to speak.
"So…Kagome…" Akitoki began, but he didn't come very far when Hojo came over to them.
"Kagome, I heard Inuyasha dumped you. Sorry, but no big surprise though. That jackass can't see that he had the world's most beautiful creature in the world right in front of him." Hojo told her, cupping her cheek.
Kagome repressed a shiver. She knew Hojo has liked her even back when they were in middle school, but she always did her best to avoid him, and his brother. He was older, and one grade ahead of them, but he too had fallen head over heels in love with her with one glance. Kagome was too nice to turn them down, and they were too dense to sense she wasn't interested.
"Hojo, you're wrong," Akitoki told her brother. "Kagome is not the most beautiful creature in the world. She is a heavenly goddess, sent to Earth to fill the hearts of all the other women of the world with envy."
"Kiss asses…" Rin whispered to no one in particular, looking away from the scene and gagging.
"Kagome, wanna catch a movie Saturday?" Hojo asked, his eyes sparkling with hope, the type of hope Kagome could not turn down.
"Oh, Hojo…I…um, I…" Kagome stammered, eyes darting from Hojo, Akitoki, and Rin, then back again. Rin decided now would be a good time to help out her sister.
"Sorry, Hobo, but Kagome's busy Saturday night. And she's busy that night for you too, Akitoki," Rin said, glaring at Akitoki as he opened his mouth to say something, only to quickly shut it. "She's busy Friday and Sunday too, because we are having a party."
"Party? Then why don't we just hang out together there, Kagome?" Hojo asked. Kagome glanced at Rin, who once again came to her sister's rescue.
"Sorry, it's a no date occasion. Like if you're not gonna come alone, come in a group. Spontaneously dance with whoever you wanna, blah, blah, blah…and she's also keeping the party organized, so no. Bye bye, now." Rin smiled sweetly at the two.
Hojo narrowed his eyes slightly at her and smiled widely at Kagome. Akitoki copied the action, but he smiled at Kagome first. The two then turned and left…not without Akitoki falling forward onto Hojo, who in turn fell forward and grabbed a nearby tablecloth, causing the food covered dishes to fall on both the brothers. The Higurashi sisters snickered.
-O-o-O-o-O-
Kikyo leaned forward, closing her eyes and puckering her lips. Inuyasha leaned as far back as he could, no escape. He could taste the bile rising to his throat.Inuyasha closed his eyes so he wouldn't have to look at Kikyo, but he could still smell her. She was wearing a strange perfume, but she had so much of it on, it just added to the sickening feeling inside of him.
Kikyo gasped, and Inuyasha opened his eyes. Kikyo was laying on the floor in front of him, eyes closed, unconscious on the floor. In front of him, Kanna was standing, hands folded behind her back, smirking down at the unconscious girl.
"What did you do?" Inuyasha forced out.
"Just a little trick I learned. Sadly, she will lives, she'll be up and about in a few hours." Kanna replied, frowning a bit.
"What should we do with her until then?" Jakotsu asked, coming to stand to Kanna's left.
"I say we throw her sorry ass in a dumpster." Kagura said, leaning back on the chair she was sitting in, crossing her arms.
"Dump her in the middle of the road." Yura suggested.
"Toss her in a lake." Bankotsu smiled, and there were many nods and murmurs of suggestion.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going back to prison. Just leave her on her porch." Hakudoshi told them without stopping in his novel.
There was a silence.
"Back to prison?" Everyone asked him in unison.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"Oh my gosh! We've check the park, library, ice cream parlor, school, everywhere! Where the hell are they?" Sango asked, groaning as she sank to her knees.
"Sango…we forgot…" Kilala trailed off, standing up and brushing herself off.
"Forgot what?" Sango asked, staring at her friend quizzically.
"The Goshinboku Outdoor Club! Kagome's favorite spot!" Kilala exclaimed, helping to haul Sango to you feet.
"You're right! We're such idiots. Come on, let's go!" Sango smiled at Lala, the two exchanged a nod, and ran in the opposite direction towards the Goshinboku Outdoor Club.
-O-o-O-o-O-
"Oh my gosh…Rin, it's Kohaku!" Kagome whispered harshly as said Taijiya walked over to their table, and Rin's face paled. She still liked Kohaku very much, but she also still very much so liked Sesshomaru, despite what she'd told herself.
"Hi Rin, hi Kagome." Kohaku smiled at them both, but didn't attempt to take a seat.
"Hey, Haku." They both replied.
"So, Rin…about the other day…" Kohaku began, not sure exactly what to say. He took in a deep breath, and opened his mouth…
"Rin! Kagome! Rin! Kags!" Kilala and Sango yelled, running down the street towards them. Kohaku immediately shut his mouth. By the time the two girls reached them, both were panting and near out of breath.
"Guys…gotta…tell you…something….Kohaku…can you…give…us…a minute?" Kilala choked out, throwing a large coughing fit. Kohaku nodded and walked away. Both girls excitedly turned to Rin.
"Rin, guess what! We were at the Takahashi place, and then Inuyasha stomped in and we all got quiet, and he and Sesshomaru went into another room, and Inuyasha was yelling, and they were angry, and things were pretty bad, and then-" They both rushed out, words getting jumbled and mixed together.
"Girls! Slow down, take deep calm breaths, and quit acting like a bunch a drunken idiot." Rin giggled. Sango took a deep breath.
"Rin! We overheard Sesshomaru say he loves you!" Sango said quickly, smiling.
Rin's face paled twice as much as before. Her eyes widened, and she was still as a statue. Her heart was beating rapidly, and her breaths were short and quick. But somehow, a large grin spread across her face.
"He actually…said he loves me?" Rin asked, totally shocked.
"Yes, he did. What are you gonna do about it?" Kilala inquired.
"I…I don't know." Rin admitted,
"Rin, there's only two things you can do. Do you love Sesshomaru?" Kagome placed one hand over her sister's.
"Well, I kind of, soft of, like him, in a way, that feels nice, most of the time…"
"Rin! Come on, just tell us. Do you love Sesshomaru?"
"I…yes, yes I do. I love him. But, I also love Kohaku. Oh man guys, what should I do?" Rin let her head fall onto the table.
"You have to choose?" Kilala asked, stunned.
"No duh, stupid." Sango glared at her. Just then, Kohaku came back over to them.
"Guys…I need to speak to Rin." Kohaku announced. Rin looked up at him, and he extended a hand. Rin accepted, smiling sadly.
"Kohaku, I gotta talk to you…" Rin said as he lead her to the middle of the dance floor…even though no one was singing.
"And I have to talk to you, Rin. But please, let me go first." Kohaku requested.
Rin wondered what on Earth he needed to speak to her about, but nodded.
"Rin…I realized something the other day…Rin, I know you still love him. But as you may or may not know, I love you too… but-" Rin interrupted him by brushing her lips against his. It wasn't even a kiss, but it was enough to make him stop talking. Rin's eyes were sad, but she smiled at him.
"Kohaku…I love you too, but I love him more. I'm so sorry." Rin apologized, her eyes watering.
"I know you do, Rin. So, that's why I'm going to let you go, because he makes you so happy. But if one day, you ever realize you have other choices in life and decide you and I would be great, I will be ready and waiting. No matter what, if you ever need anything, you can come to me." Kohaku smiled down at her.
"Really, Kohaku? Oh, thank you so much!" Rin threw her arms around his neck, and the female bystanders 'awed'.Rin quickly pressed her lips against Kohaku's in one last, chaste kiss. Then she turned, and walked in the direction of the Takahashi home. Kagome, Kilala, and Sango followed her, and Kohaku watched them leave.
He knew he'd probably never stop loving Rin. Even if he found another love, Rin would always mean the most to him, be the most important. He could only hope Sesshomaru would be worthy of her love. So he turned, and left in the opposite direction, his head slightly bowed.
-O-o-O-o-O-
As Rin walked down the sidewalk, the sun seemed to shine brighter. The birds chirped what sounded like a love song in the trees and the wind softly whipped her hair around her face. Rin smiled and stared to the sky.
Don't know what came over me
Got lost in a fantasy-with you and me
My broken heart is gonna heel
I can't believe the way I feel-is this for real I'm caught up in your stare
Under your spare
And there's just no way to tell
How I'm gonna break free Searching'
Gotta find an answer
Lookin'
All the places we've been
Dreamin'
That we last forever
I won't stop searching' for you
Till were to together again
Sesshomaru left the room he and Inuyasha had been arguing in, thinking. He'd never admitted any feelings before…but talking about how he felt for Rin felt as natural as breathing.
Rin was everything he was not: sweet, beautiful, sensitive, kind-hearted, generous, optimistic, unique…it was almost insane not to love her. She was talented, but she never gloated. She backed up her friends, but was never too rude. She almost always kept a positive attitude, despite however upsetting things could get for her. Totally innocent, but with a sadistic dark side that could be fatal when it was released, which rarely happened. And everything about her, every smile, every laugh, every note she sung, all of it made Sesshomaru love her.
Because of those things, he also was unsettled by her. She had made him…soft. He was not supposed to be weakened by things as futile and petty as emotions, especially those such as love. For some reason though, he couldn't stay made at her. Even more evidence of how weak she'd made him. Despite all those things that she did that unsettled him and made him upset, he loved Rin. She was the first girl he'd every truly loved, but he knew he'd never love another like he loved her.
The doorbell rang and Sesshomaru went to answer it. When he opened the door, Rin stood there smiling at him. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him close.
Unsure what else to do, he wrapped his arms around her waist. She adjusted herself so they were face to face, and smashed his lips against hers. There was no tongue in the kiss, but it still said how much she loved him. He gently kissed her back, and held back a whimper when she moved away.
"Sesshomaru…I love you." Rin admitted, sighing in contentment as if the weight of the world had just been lifted off her shoulders.
"Rin," Sesshomaru began, not sure what to say. He caught Inuyasha's eye, and Inuyasha nodded curtly before transferring his gaze to Kagome, who was staring at him. She blushed and quickly turned away. "I love you too."
Everyone in the room gasped, save Inuyasha, Kilala, and Sango. It was foreign to hear the words from Sesshomaru's lips, but it had happened. Tears of joy filled Rin's eye as she leaned forward for another kiss.
That night, Rin and Kagome stayed up a little late talking.
"Do you honestly think Gramps and Mom will let us have a party next weekend?" Kagome asked her sister.
"Who knows? They have been leaving town a lot, maybe they'll be gone. Let's hope." Rin shrugged.
"Thanks for that bail today, Rinny." Kagome smiled in the darkness.
"Don't mention it. Those idiots are too dense to realize that you don't like them." Rin shrugged again.
"Yeah…so are you and Sesshomaru going out again?"
"Not yet. I told him he'd have to do a little work before I take him back."
"Only you, Rin…"
"Speaking of which, are you and Inuyasha getting back together?" Rin asked, but she got no response.
"Come on, Kags. You too obviously still like each other." Rin pointed out. Kagome didn't respond.
"Fine, if you won't talk, why don't we play the alphabet acting game? Letter is A, of course." Rin tried again. For a long moment, there was silence.
"At night, the crickets get really loud." Kagome finally replied.
"But in the day, they're not as annoying."
"Crickets are annoying anytime, anyway."
"Did you know I'm terrified of bugs, mostly crickets and spiders."
"Even I'm afraid of that stuff."
"Forget it, we need a new topic."
"Go go boots?"
"Hazel nut eyes?"
"I love our friends."
"Jai is totally awesome."
"Kikyo is a total slut."
"Lay down the law!"
"Maybe we should have a party…"
"Next weekend?"
"Of course!"
"Pizza is awesome."
"Queen of Hearts, off with your head!"
"Random much?"
"Stupid game, I suck at this!"
"Totally, but you're still in."
"Unusual, very unusual."
"Vertical lines go up and down."
"What about horizontal?"
"Xylophones make pretty music."
"Yes, yes they do."
"Zebras are black and white."
"Awesome facts."
"But they have no point."
"Can you say circus?"
"Dragons breathe fire."
"Elephants are fat."
"Fat is fat."
"Great, that makes sense."
"Haiku's are easy."
"Illustrate, don't deliberate."
"Joking around, it's fun for some time."
"Kinky-hoe should do us a favor and die."
"Let's not forget, she's still our sister."
"Maybe we'll get lucky and find out she's adopted."
"Now that would be great."
"Onomatopoeia is a very big word."
"Pretty big indeed."
"I've got nothing for Q."
"Which means I win." Rin smiled.
"Whatever." Kagome shrugged.
"Kagome?"
"Yeah, Rin?"
"I kinda miss Kohaku."
"I know you do, Rin. But don't feel too bad."
"And you know what else?"
"What?"
"I found a love song I really like…I wanna sing it for the girls next weekend. And tomorrow's Monday. Really don't feel like school tomorrow…"
"What are you gonna do? Ditch?"
"No way. I'm not that crazy."
"Whatever. Let's just go to bed." Kagome suggested, turning over in her bed. Rin sighed and closed her eyes.
Then, there was a loud screech.
-O-o-O-o-O-
