Rin's POV
No, no, no! This was not suppose to happen! At least not to me! But it was expected. I knew that she would try something like this sooner or later, but I never imagined that it would be here in front of all of his family!
I nearly died when Kikyo put me on the spot! Damn that devil!
I saw Sesshomaru's mother and Kikyo exchange looks and then his mother said, "Please, explain Kikyo."
She smirked. "Where to start...? Well for starters she had two jobs. One as a waitress at a cafe, and another one at a nighttime bar."
His mom nearly fell out of her chair. "A nighttime bar?!"
Kikyo nodded her evil little head. "Not only that," she continued, "But she was fired from her waitressing job and so that caused her to not be able to pay her rent." Then she laughed at my expense. "She was nearly kicked out of her apartment."
"But how do you know that this is true?" his father asked.
She smiled. "It took awhile, but I did some research on her. All I had to do was find out where her last occupation was and just talk to her former co-workers."
Her gaze shifted to Sesshomaru. "And you had the nerve to actually hire this woman."
"Sesshomaru!" Izayoi exclaimed.
He said nothing. What could he say? What could I say? My face was red as a tomato and I just wanted to leave. Kikyo leaned back in her seat, happy that she had finished what she was set out to do. She just totally snitched on me! What are we nine years old? I saw his parents both rise from their seats. they looked at Sesshomaru.
"Come with us," one of them said.
And like the obedient son that he was, he stood up to follow his parents. I watched as all three left. After sitting in the same spot, being observed by the rest of his family, I finally excused myself. But I wasn't going to leave to go outside to the car, I wanted to know what Sesshomaru and his parents were disscussing.
I heard voices in a nearby room. I didn't bother to peek around the corner since I could hear them.
"Sesshomaru! How could you let this woman into our home?" Izayoi ranted.
"She has a name," he said. "It's Rin."
"I don't care if she's called poverty!" Inutaisho exclaimed.
Okay that hurt. For as long as I've been unsuccessful in life, no one has ever went that far as to call me that.
"I thought that you could do better than that!" He went on to say. "Didn't we raise you to want what's best in life?"
"You have," Sesshomaru replied.
I was hoping that he would say me, but in my currnet situation who was I kidding? Why wasn't he defending me? After everything I did just to put up with him, and he had nothing to say in my defense? Didn't I matter anymore?
I guess that his mom had nothing else to say, seeing as how she stopped talking, but his father continued.
"Why not be with someone like Kikyo?" Inutaisho suggested.
"Because Kikyo is not who I want," he declared. "She's self-centered and has been trying to be with me for the longest."
Inutaisho sscoffed. "It's better than what you're doing now."
Did these people hate me that much? Or just hated the fact that I wasn't from money? Who was I fooling, it was both. I should have never came here in the first place. I felt tears sting the back of my eyes. I just wanted to leave and never return. His parents made my mother sound like a Saint.
The verbal abuse continued until I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. It was Sesshomaru's. I jerked away. He said nothing in my defense and yet had the nerve to touch me? Just leave me the hell alone.
"Rin..."
I didn't want to heat it. "Just take me home." But before I could get an anwer from him, I changed my mind by saying, "Never mind I'll just walk."
"Don't be foolish. It's at least two hours from here," he informed me.
I didn't care. I was leaving and never coming back.
"Let me just take you." He grabbed my arm, but I pulled away.
"Leave me alone!"
He was shocked at my angry behavior and so was I. I was never this upset.
"You don't defend me at the table and you sure as hell don't defend me in front of your parents!" I said. "But I guess that you and Kikyo were too busy flirting, for you to think straight, right?"
His face grew hard, and I knew that I had pushed a button, but so what? I was mad as hell too! He shouldn't be the only one feeling ready to blow right about now. Tears rolled down my hot cheeks. I started to sniffle.
"First of I wasn't flirting. I was only entertaining her so she would leave me alone for the rest of the day," he explained.
"Oh that is bullshit, Sesshomaru!"
I wasn't taking that sorry excuse. Yeah right.
"It's so great to know that you said nothing on my half," I said sarcastically. "Not a got damn word."
"What could I say?" he challenged.
I became even more angry when he said that. "So even though you knew that everything that Kikyo said was true, you still didn't bother to lighten the situation by saying something?"
I waited a moment and got a no answer. I then noticed his parents staring at us.
Inutaisho, "Excuse me, but you will have to leave. I'm sorry but you aren't welcome back."
I stared at his parents and then at Sesshomaru.
The last two words that he uttered to me were, "I'm sorry..."
I shook my head, refusing to take his apology. "No, because if you were sorry, you wouldn't have let this happen."
I turned my back to him, opening the front door and leaving. I wanted this to just be some bad dream that I would soon awake from, but I was too far in reality to be dreaming. I felt that we were officially over...but someting in the back of my head said that we were far from that. Too far...
