Hey! This is the intermission story! It's based on before Kagome got there. Inuyasha was dating Kikyou and so forth. It's on Valentine's Day and their little problems and such. It's also a better understanding of Miroku and Sango's situation. I hope you like it!
"It's the day before the most beautiful day of the year!" Sango said as she burst into Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's dorm room.
"Speak for yourself." Rin and Inuyasha mumbled as they lay on the couch pouting. Sango sighed.
"How great just when I'm in a good mood. What's wrong? Inuyasha you first." Sango said as she stood in front of them.
"Kikyou says she's busy on Valentine's Day! Who's busy on Valentine's day when their BOYFRIEND asks?" Inuyasha yelled as he threw up his arms.
"I lost the ring." Rin said as she shook her head.
"What ring?" Sango asked confused.
"The promise ring he bought me! I lost the ring right before Valentine's Day! How freaking great!" Rin exclaimed as she folded her arms across her chest and continued pouting.
"Inuyasha get over the fact that Kikyou is always busy and Rin look for that damn ring. Now stop pouting and be happy dammit!" Sango yelled and walked out. Inuyasha and Rin traded glances with each other then looked back at the door. Sango was writing something in a notebook in the library when Miroku walked in with a bouquet of roses. Sango smiled at him.
"Remember we got together on the day before Valentine's Day. The most special day of my life." Miroku said and Sango kissed him.
"This is so sweet, Miroku. Thank you, for remembering and the flowers." Sango replied.
"Anything for you. What you doing?" Miroku asked as he sat next to her.
"I am finishing up a project for class since everyone seems to be in a bad mood before my favorite holiday." Sango explained as she finished writing a sentence in her notebook.
"Aw, come on, they're just sulking right now. They'll be ok on Valentine's Day. Just give them some time. Now stop doing work and pay some attention to the guy who gave you the bouquet of roses." Miroku explained and kissed her hand.
"Not in public..." Sango said as she continued writing in her notebook and Miroku looked off into space. Rin rambled something in her mind as she searched everywhere for the ring.
"It's gotta be here somewhere..." Rin said as she lifted up couch cushions.
"And what's wrong with it not being there! People get hurt! Feelings get hurt!" Inuyasha said from the couch eating chips. Rin sighed as she continued to look for it.
"Inuyasha... Seriously that ring was really expensive." Rin said as she tried to calm herself down. She took a deep breath and kept looking.
"I know, $50,000, but at least your here to accept the ring. My girlfriend is busy! On Valentine's day!" Inuyasha exclaimed and Rin looked over at Inuyasha quickly.
"What did you just say?" Rin said.
"She's busy on Valentine's day. Have you been listening to anything I've been saying?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at her and shook his head.
"No the part before that." Rin said slowly trying to really calm down.
"Oh that the ring was $50,000. Yeah, dad made a big deal about it, but Sesshoumaru wasn't having it. Plus Lauren picked it out so dad was out numbered. Who's busy on Valentine's day?" Inuyasha said as he stuck a chip in his mouth. Rin walked over to him.
"The ring that he gave me was $50,000?! Are you kidding me!?!?! I'm going to kill him!" Rin exclaimed as she turned red.
"Why? He spent lots of money on you. That's what girls want right? And that's ok because YOU'RE NOT BUSY ON VALENTINE'S DAY!" Inuyasha exclaimed and Rin put her face in her hands. Soon Sesshoumaru walked in and Rin looked up at him.
"Mister I am going to kill you!" Rin exclaimed as she jumped up from the couch.
"What are you talking about?" Sesshoumaru asked confused.
"You! You spent $50,000 on my ring?" Rin exclaimed as she tried to push him, but of course he stood his ground.
"Inuyasha you told her how much I spent..." Sesshoumaru growled as he looked past Rin to his half brother.
"Yeah so. And you know what, that's ok because you're communicating on the day before Valentine's Day!" Inuyasha answered.
"Don't you bring him into this? Sesshoumaru you told me it wasn't that much. The ring is fifty thousand dollars that is a lot of money!" Rin as she poked him in the chest seriously.
"Well $50,000 isn't really a lot to me, I mean the ring was for a special moment and I have deep feelings for you so-"
"What do you mean; $50,000 isn't a lot to you? You told me that you and your family were only worth a couple of hundred thousand." Rin said seriously as she looked him in the eyes.
"Try a couple of hundred million." Inuyasha answered as Sesshoumaru glared at him and Rin quickly looked at him.
"Millions? When did you plan on telling me this? When did it cross your mind that I might need to know this? When we got million dollar doves flown into our wedding?" Rin exclaimed angrily and Sesshoumaru held her by her shoulders.
"I was going to tell you, but it didn't seem like a big deal. Plus most girls only stay for the money so I thought I might add that in last..." Sesshoumaru answered. Rin folded her arms over her chest and looked at him.
"Look I'm sorry if you feel this way, Rin, but you mean a lot to me and I'm not going to apologize for spending so much money on you because money isn't a factor when it comes to you." Sesshoumaru said and Rin stared at him for a moment then walked out. Sesshoumaru ran his fingers through his hair.
"Looks like I won't be the only one alone on Valentine's Day. AND THAT'S NOT OK!" Inuyasha exclaimed and walked into his room. Sango and Miroku were making out on her bed when she got a call on her cell phone.
"Don't you answer that phone, Sango?" Miroku said into her lips as he continued to kiss her.
"I have to. Just a minute..." Sango said and pushed Miroku away as she answered the phone.
"Hello?" Sango answered and Miroku heard Rin say she needed to meet her somewhere. He shook his head and got up then he went to the bathroom. After Sango hung up se went into the bathroom.
"I have to go." Sango said quietly.
"Yeah." Miroku said over the sink.
"She's my friend." Sango said.
"Yeah, she's your friend. But the reason I can't kiss you in public or the reason I can't hold you in public is?" Miroku said angrily and Sango sighed.
"I don't want everyone looking at us like we're some open book. I don't like people being in my business, why can't you just understand that?" Sango asked.
"I can't understand it? I have understood it for almost five months! And we couldn't even come out to our best friends until two months ago, because you didn't want everyone knowing our business. I try to go along with it, but it's getting harder and harder everyday. Now you know why I look at other women IN PUBLIC." Miroku explained angrily and walked out.
"Miroku..." Sango called after him as he slammed the door. It was Valentine's Day, but it felt more like satin's day for the group the next day.
"It's like she has life and I'm not in it. I'M HER BOYFRIEND!" Inuyasha said as he sat on the couch.
"She acts like I'm hiding a second family from her. It's just millions of dollars I just happened to be worth. Big deal!" Sesshoumaru explained as he lay on the couch next to Inuyasha. Miroku just lay there on the same couch staring at the ceiling. Both brothers both sat up and looked at him. Inuyasha threw a chip at him and Miroku looked over to him.
"Hey! This is the part where you share your crappy Valentine's story." Inuyasha said and Miroku just sighed.
"You know what screw this! I'm going to see what the hell she's doing!" Inuyasha said as he jumped up and walked out the door.
"Good idea." Sesshoumaru commented and grabbed his coat and left. Miroku just stared at the ceiling. Rin was standing on her balcony when Sesshoumaru walked in.
"Yeah I kept the money thing from you. I shouldn't have, but I did. But there are tons of things you didn't tell me until late. You didn't tell me you were an orphan till late. You didn't tell me you hate spicy food until late. You didn't tell me you are afraid of heights until very late." Sesshoumaru said and Rin giggled at his last comment. Sesshoumaru held her from behind.
"So you see that I kept this secret, because I wasn't sure how you'd react. But you were also late on something's so I think I deserve to be forgiven for this once." Sesshoumaru finished and Rin turned around and smiled. She pulled him by the collar to her height and kissed him.
"I got you something." Sesshoumaru said after they shared a long kiss.
"What?" Rin asked mischievously and Sesshoumaru pulled something out his pocket. He slid the ring back on her finger and Rin gasped.
"I have been looking everywhere for this ring!" Rin exclaimed.
"I had something's added to it." Rin glared at him.
"It didn't cost much." Sesshoumaru said as he slid off the ring and showed her the inside. It read, 'I'm still your angel.' (Referring to chapter 5) Rin smiled brightly and hugged him.
"I love it!!!" Rin exclaimed and kissed him again.
"I have something for you too." Rin said as she ran into her dorm and Sesshoumaru lifted one of his eyebrows. She ran back out with a long black box.
"Lauren sent it down and I had it re-done to fit. She says you used to always love it when you were little until it broke. Maybe you'll love it again." Rin explained as she put a silver chain around his neck. She patted it and smiled. Sesshoumaru pulled her close and just hugged her for a long time. She let him take his time as she smiled towards the sky. Rin sighed angrily when her phone rang and Sesshoumaru got up and looked the other way.
"Yes?" Rin said irritately.
"I don't know where he is. I have looked everywhere for the sake of looking and now it's your turn." Kikyou said.
"What the hell are you talking about? He went looking for you." Rin said as Sesshoumaru walked back over to hear what was happening.
"Oh he found me. With the twins, Michael and George."
So how did you like the intermission? It took me a couple of days to write it, because I kept starting over. So I ended with this idea. Those who have been following the story, this is the chapter that Inuyasha finally found out she was cheating on him and he went to the bar for the first time. Remember when Rin told him how she found him when he was sad about Kagome? Yeah... well anyway I don't mention Sesshoumaru's chain but he always wears it and he still wears it even after they broke up like she continues to wear the ring. Sadly this chapter also explains the Miroku and Sango problem at the end of chapter 20. All the issues added up and he couldn't take it anymore, but you'll learn more about that in act 21. Which I will start working on as soon as possible! Any more questions... PLEASE REVIEW! Because I'm happy to answer questions!
