Kagura ordered Rin another shot of whiskey and eyed her while she gulped it down without a chaser. "You know why all of them treated me like shit didnt you?" She looked to kagura with sad eyes. "My life was a fucking lie. Naraku could have at least told me before I even got invol-" Rin was grabbed by her arm and pulled up. "Not another word." He said while Kagura looked to Sesshomaru confused. What was Rin about to confess to her.
"If you drink its at our house Rin." Sesshomaru picked her up and ignored her beating her fists against his back. Kagura paid her bill and followed Sesshomaru. "What was she going to tell me Sesshomaru?! Why does Naraku want her but not me?! And why do you want her and not me?!"
"You'll learn eventually Kagura... This wont be a seecret for long." Sesshomaru adjusted Rin in his arms. She was pouting and looking away from Sesshomaru. He walked away from Kagura to meet up with his dad and another demon Kagura didnt recognize. The way he looked at Rin confused her. Was he after Rin for her scent too? Were they marrying her off to this man?
She shook her head and decided she was going to make Naraku give her answers.
"I don't like this!" Rin shouted in Inutaishos limousine. "Of course you dont." Inutaisho said in a calming voice as he poured her a small amount of bourbon in her cup. "Don't tell Izayoi we let you do this..."
Rin nodded but stared down at the glass. "So is that why I smell funny? Is Izayoi like...me?" The two silver haired men shook their head. Her father laughed which made her look up. "You mother was all human sweety... The love of my life. Our lives." Chief pat her back. "I didn't want you to find out like this sweetheart. I wanted to wait until the day of your ceremony so you wouldnt freak out if you underwent...changes. We dont have the bright amber eyes like them two other there." He jokingly pointed to Sesshomaru and Inutaisho with a laugh.
"You will still have black hair, Hell you might even get your mothers eyes... But our ancestors always had a deep maroon color. Always so dark it could be black and always comes off as dark brown to humans who cant see the difference. " Rin listened intently then looked to Sesshomaru "Will I have ears like Inuyasha?" Rin remembered the first day she saw Inuyasha with those dog ears. No one batted an eye like it was normal. She was sheltered from demons and only learned what she knew from Kohaku.
"I doubt it." Inutaisho answered. "Youre half but your father is a great demon like myself so its 50/50 youll look like Inuyasha or just the same as you are. It's a coin toss everytime." Sesshomaru nodded his head.
"And you just found out Sesshomaru? I'm sorry I thought you were keeping it a secret the whole time you knew me..." She finished her glass and hoped someone would refill it.
"Its a lot to take in...To be honest... Not knowing who you are your whole life then all of a sudden having it thrown at you." She laughed to herself. "It's a joke but not everything makes sense with Naraku..."
All three men looked at Rin . Her father was about to say something but the limousine stopped. "Were here." Inutaisho waited for the door to be opened before he offered a hand out to help Rin. He chuckled when he heard Sesshomaru growl. That was his job! Not his fathers. Chief looked at the interaction confused but laughed when he saw how his daughter giggled and gently hit Sesshomaru on his arm.
"Stop denying my gentlemanship to the little wildflower son! Where are the manners i taught you as a pup?" Inutaisho joked.
"Mine." He said when he got out and stood by Rin.
Chief shook his head. "I forgot how possesive we as men could be around our mates." He smiled fondly remembering his wife and Rins mother. The men stopped their joking and started to head toward Inutaishos porch where Izayoi was giggling at her boys.
Rins father looked up when he heard a new voice giggle. Her dark hair almost black enough to envy his and Rins. Her soft brown eyes lighter than theirs as well and her skin pale even not painted in makeup. This must be Inutaishos mate. This family sure liked their women with dark hair and brown eyes. It made him proud Rin was chosen by the gods to be Sesshomarus intended.
"Im sorry my sweet. I was just reminding my son how to treat a lady." He kissed Izayois cheek while watching Sesshomaru glare at them.
"And this is my dad!" Rin interrupted. The alcohol making her lose her balance. Izayoi must not have noticed because she looked up at Chief and smiled. "You two have the same eyes!" She clapped. "It's so nice to meet you! We are going to be family one day after all."
Rins father blushed and nodded. "Sorry it took so long... I wasnt expecting this to happen for a few more years." Sesshomarus eyes shot up to Chief. "Years? I intended this to be way sooner now that Naraku knows and is trying to steal my future mate to bride his abusive son."
The room grew silent. They all waited for Chiefs response.
"We have to tell the media you are betrothed. That I am back at the company and that my old business partners can ensure her safety until the ceremony." He looked to his daughter. "The money we never used has accumulated a lot of interest since she was born. So my baby gets whatever she wants for her wedding. Understand?"
"And our son has more than enough to help with the wedding..." Inutaisho interrupted.
Rin looked to all of them and started to laugh. "I don't want a big wedding boys! Put away the fangs." Sesshomaru patted her head. "You still get whatever you want my little Rin."
After Chief had tea with Izayoi and they family teased Rin a bit more, he left and promised to release a statement in the coming days about his daughter and why they went into hiding. He was going to reach out to some old friends and beg their protection over Rin like they had protected his company.
Inutaisho was going to do the same for the business and reach out to his spectrum of help.
Sesshomaru followed after.
All Rin could do was watch.
It was a hectic week for the Taisho and Ichinose family. Rin felt like she never saw Sesshomaru and felt like a prisoner in her own house. At least a hundred demons responded to her fathers plea. She couldnt count for Inutaisho or Sesshomaru because they kept in touch less than her father did. All she knew was that there was a new group of men at her house every day keeping the house safe.
Kagura wasnt seen from again and last she heard of Naraku was that he resigned and went into hiding. Much like her father did when she was born. Only she didnt have a good feeling in her gut about why he went into hiding.
Rin sighed as she looked out the window. She couldnt even walk Ah until she was mated to Sesshomaru. The security gave her magazines daily to take down her ideas for her wedding and reception. Even some demon women came in to help her pick traditional colors and inform her on what she was supposed to do when the enchantment wore off. Some ladies even sighed wishing their sons and daughters would find their mate soon.
"Maybe my boys mate hasnt been born yet." Some would trail off dreamily. Imagining Rin and Sesshomarus meeting was romantic. That part was kept out of the conference. The hospital and alcoholism. It wasnt their business the family agreed in unison. Rin tried to remember the traditions but eventually gave up and would ask Izayoi what she did and copy from her lead. Inutaisho seemed satisfied with how Izayoi did things so it couldnt have been too strict.
She also didnt think people would try to televise her wedding. When Rin was warned about paparazzi wanting to sneak into her wedding she started to have second thoughts of it being any more than a simple courthouse wedding with the family as witnesses but her father and Inutaisho wouldnt hear of it. Chief coming back into charge and announcing he had a daughter who would soon be mated to another powerful family caused too much of an uproar for them to ignore. It was always arranged marriages that happened between two powerful families. Naturally mated families was too much of a miracle for any family to wish for. So Rin sucked it up and agreed to at least write down ideas for her and Sesshomaru. If only he was here to help give her ideas.
Rin spend hours looking into his closet to see if his suits had a color scheme. Thats when she saw a kimono. She looked at it confused. She didnt think him to be one to dress in robes. It looked old but was kept in great shape. He even went so far as to keep it wrapped in plastic like it was dry cleaned regularly but even she knew he hadnt worn it in a long time.
She admired the deep crimson and white floral patterns. Maybe those women demon were right about their childrens mates not being born yet. Rin felt like she barely lived her life and yet here she was looking at something that must have been hundreds of years old that he held onto dearly. She decided she would try her best to make the color scheme around this suit. Maybe She would design her wedding dress around it too. Unless her father had a suit like this she could use. To symbolize the joining of their houses.
