Every night while Sesshomaru was looking over paper work, I would try to call Kagome to make sure she was okay, but it always went to voicemail. Once again I listened to Kagome's voicemail drone on, I even left several voicemail's for her. She never called me back…not once. I was on the verge of tears for the hundredth time this week. As promised Sesshomaru let me attend my classes but he made sure my guards knew that I couldn't go near Kagome's room.
I sat on the bed and I finally gave in and decided to text her. Maybe she was in so much pain that it hurt to talk?
Rin: Kagome are you okay?
Rin: I am sooooooo sorry, I didn't know that you were hurt.
Rin: Please answer me Kagome, even if you are mad at me I just need to know that you're okay!
Kagome: Stop texting me. Were done. I'm not happy with you and Inuyasha isn't happy with you, he is my mate and he doesn't want us to be friends anymore.
Rin: Please forgive me Kagome! But since when do you listen to Inuyasha?
Kagome: Since now! He is my mate, and I love him more than anything. From now on I'm listening to everything he has to say, because he is always right. He is also smart, sexy, and a great mate to have. I couldn't have ask for a better one, he is all I need! Now stop texting me, and leave me alone.
I sighed and looked at my phone for another minute, so Kagome finally mated with Inuyasha. Well good for her, she deserves to have someone in her life. Even if he does boss her around. I guess that's it then, we aren't friends any longer. I laid on my stomach and laid my head on a big fluffy pillow. I couldn't hold back my frustration any longer, I felt tears slide down my cheeks and I left out a sob. I was glad that I had the pillow to muffle out my sobs. I felt the bed compress down as someone sat on the bed, I never even heard the door open.
"Rin? Why are you weeping?" Sesshomaru asked while placing a hand down on my back and he slowly started to rub up and down comforting.
I shook my head, not wanting to talk. If I even tried to talk I wouldn't be able to control my own voice level. Besides Sesshomaru wouldn't have much sympathy for me on this subject.
"Rin. Answer me. I will not have you become a mute again." He said firmly.
I lifted my head and then took a deep breath to try and control my emotions, "I won't become mute again." I said softly, "I don't want to tell you the reason I'm crying, you won't like it." I said softly.
"I must know. I do not like to see you cry, it disturbs me."
I squeezed my eyes shut to get rid of the tears then slowly opened them and looked at Sesshomaru, "I know you told me that you don't want me to be friends with Kagome, but I tried to talk to her anyways." I waited to see if he would get angry but he stayed emotionless, "When I texted her she told me that she didn't want to be friends any longer. I guess I deserve her anger, it was my fault that I drove away the very first friend I ever made." I couldn't help it as another tear slowly slid down my cheek. Sesshomaru reached out and swiped away my tear with the pad of his thumb.
"Hush Rin. I will allow you to be friends with that girl, if it really means that much to you. But I have conditions." He said.
I shook my head, "Didn't you hear me? She doesn't want to be my friend anymore."
"Then I will make her!" He stood and held out his hand for me, "Let us go pay her a visit."
"Sesshomaru, you can't just force her to be my friend again." I said.
"Watch me, mate. If she refuses I can always rip out her heart like I promised to do if she caused you any pain."
Oh god…he has that look in his eye whenever he decides to get stubborn, and there is no talking him out of it. I sighed and got off the bed and grabbed his hand.
"We are just going to go talk to her, no threats!" I said sternly, "Threats do not make friends." I said gently as if I was teaching a small child.
"Tch."
I sighed, hoping that he would be on his best behavior. Inuyasha would most likely be there, and the brothers couldn't get along if they're lives depended on it.
Ever since Inuyasha took away my phone, I stopped speaking to him; which drove him insane. He didn't really like the silent treatment. I had to give him credit though, he took really good care of me even if he was a stubborn ass. He made sure to always make sure that I was taking my pain meds, and he got me food. Although he did force me to eat when I wasn't that hungry, which managed to piss me off. He even picked up my homework every single day.
I slowly woke up when I heard a soft knock on the door, Inuyasha looked annoyed but he went to the door and answered it.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha said sounding irritated.
"I want to see Kagome." I heard Sango snap at Inuyasha. I smiled, Sango was one of the few in this school who wasn't afraid of Inuyasha.
"Too bad!"
"Sango come on in." I called out to her. I watch Inuyasha's jaw drop open, and Sango smirked at him while brushing past him.
"Ohhh so now you're talking?!" Inuyasha bit out.
"I'm so glad you came over, Sango." I said ignoring Inuyasha, "I've missed you. I could feel Inuyasha glaring daggers into the back of my head but I ignored him.
"I'm sorry I didn't come over sooner but I was dealing with some family problems. How are you feeling?" She asked. Inuyasha walked over to Rin's bed and sat down while glaring at us, we both continued to ignore him.
"I'm still pretty sore, but the medicine Lady Kaede is giving me is helping me manage the pain."
"That's good to know." She sat down on my desk chair and smiled, "So why aren't you talking to Inuyasha?" She whispered.
"Because he's Inuyasha." I said simply.
"Fair enough." Sango said giggling slightly.
"HEY! What the hell does that mean?" He yelled outraged.
Sango and I both shook our heads and sighed, "He will never learn."
"Guys never seem to. Miroku still is trying to screw anything with two legs and heartbeat." She said. I sighed and shook my head again. I remember Sango telling me about her troubles with him. He wanted a relationship with her but he didn't seem to want to stop his womanizing ways, so Sango had to reject him. Although I could tell she didn't really want to, I had a feeling she really liked this guy. She was always talking about him.
"I'm nothing like Miroku! He is a letcher!"
Neither I nor Sango answered him, "I'm sorry about what happened with you and Rin." She said softly, "But at least you guys are okay."
"How is Rin?" I whispered. I wanted to know how Rin was so badly but since Inuyasha took my phone from me I was cut off from her. I would normally fight him for my phone, but I was in too much pain to really deal with it right now. Oh just you wait Inuyasha, you're going to get it.
"She's okay from what I've seen of her. She is unusually quiet though, and she looks a bit sad. Sesshomaru is having two demons trail Rin. You can tell she hates it, but hey what can she really do? I mean its Sesshomaru, and he doesn't know the meaning of no."
"Like someone else I know…." I mumbled.
Sango leaned in and hugged me lightly, "Feel better Kagome, I'll stop by later this week to see how you are doing. Text me if you need anything." Yeah…like that was going to happen. Inuyasha still had my phone. She waved and then left, leaving me with a scowling Inuyasha.
I sighed and laid my head back, wishing it was time for my next set of pain medicine. I usually hated how they made me really drowsy but ever since I decided to give Inuyasha the silent treatment, I welcomed sleep. I heard him growl, "How long are you going to keep this up? Say something Damnit!" He snapped.
I glared at him, "Fine you want me to say something?" He looked at me eagerly, "SIT!" He fell off the bed and onto the floor, face first. I heard him growl and struggled to get up. "Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!" I yelled every time he tried to get up. He looked at me angrily.
"This is not what I had in mind…."
I heard a soft knock and then the door opened, I was expecting to see Sango but it was Rin and Sesshomaru. I looked at them in shock, I couldn't believe she was here with Sesshomaru. "Rin." I said softly.
"I'm sorry to just barge in here Kagome, but I thought you might not let me in if I knocked. I know you're still really mad at me." Rin said looking down at the floor in shame. She did look at Inuyasha oddly, I was guessing since he was practically kissing the floor.
"You are not welcome here, get out!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Inuyasha shut up!" I snapped.
"Do not be so foolish to speak to my mate so disrespectfully!" Sesshomaru snapped while glaring at Inuyasha, "I would say learn your place, but as it appear you are already there. You are at my feet as it should be." He smirked at that.
"You smug bastard…." Inuyasha was starting to slowly get up, "I think it's time I finally killed you."
Rin gasped, "Inuyasha please, we aren't here to fight!" Rin stepped in front of Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru was having none of that. He picked up Rin and placed her behind himself.
"Do not get in the middle of this Rin, stay behind me. I will make quick work of slicing my brother open like a stuffed turkey."
This time I gasped, "No!" I said starting to sit up, "No one is killing anyone." I hissed in pain, feeling my ribs burn in protest to me moving.
"Mate, lay back down!" Inuyasha snapped.
"Not until you two separate!" I said.
"Please Sesshomaru." I heard Rin whisper, "Don't fight with your brother, it won't help me become friends with Kagome again if you try and kill your brother." Be friends again? When did we stop?
Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru looked like he was going to deny Rin this but he finally nodded, "Very well. You are lucky my mate doesn't want any blood shed today." He stepped back and turned a hard gaze onto me. He looked as if I said one wrong this he would kill me.
Inuyasha sat back on the bed and continued to glare at Sesshomaru, "No you're lucky your mate saved your ass today!"
I sighed, this wasn't getting us anywhere. "Rin, I'm so glad to see that you're okay, I can barely remember anything from that night. I was worried when you didn't come back to the room."
Rin looked surprised, "You're glad to see that I'm okay? And you were worried when I didn't come back? But I thought you hated me, and didn't want me to bother you anymore?"
I blinked looking at her confused. "Was I drunk when I said that?" There was no way I would ever say that Rin.
"Kagome…you texted me today saying that, you were mad at me from that night and that Inuyasha didn't want us to be friends anymore. You told me that you were going to listen to him from now on, and that you loved him. Didn't you guys mate, yet?" She asked.
I shook my head, and then glared at Inuyasha who was looking sheepish. He was studying the wall like it was the most fascinating thing he has ever seen. "No we haven't! And none of that is true! I would never say that stuff to you Rin. Inuyasha took away my phone, and he wouldn't give it back! He actually still has it."
Rin looked relieved, "Oh thank god!" She came over to hug me but I gasped in pain when she squeezed me tight. She quickly jumped away, "I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking!"
"What the hell?!" Inuyasha jumped up and pushed me back gently into a laying position, "Stay down, mate. Next time you get up without me I'm tying you to the bed." He snapped. "You need some more medicine, so they need to leave."
"They aren't leaving until, you give me back my phone so I can talk to Rin." I yelled.
He sighed, "Fine." He slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out my phone, then handed it to me, "Here. I was just trying to protect you, I don't want any more harm to come to you."
"Apologize to Rin, Inuyasha." I said feeling tired. This whole thing has taken a lot out of me.
"Hell no! I did what I had to!"
Rin shook her head, "He really doesn't have to! He was right to protect you from me, it was my fault you got hurt anyways. He was just doing what any mate would do."
Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha now, "Apologize!" He hissed. I was guessing he didn't want Rin to feel bad about what happened.
"Apologize to Rin, or I'm going to say the three letter word that you hate and that will be the only word you ever hear from me ever again!"
He glared at me but when he realized I was dead serious, he sighed and looked at Rin, "Sorry." He mumbled like a scolded child.
"Really it's fine." She said smiling softly.
I loved Rin, she was so easy to forgive, and she was so kind hearted.
"Now that the two of you are friends once more, I want to lay a few conditions out." Conditions? What he is talking about. I looked at Rin who was looking embarrassed, but she mouthed sorry. Sorry for what? "If you wish to spend time together, then you will do so in here, or on the school grounds. You will not leave the school again unaccompanied. And Rin, you will not try to outsmart or escape your guards." Rin looked at him shamefacedly and nodded.
"Of course my lord!" She said smiling innocently.
Sesshomaru didn't look amused but he nodded looking satisfied, "Very good. We will go now." Sesshomaru said, leading Rin out.
"Bye Rin, I'll text you later on." I said.
"I'll come by tomorrow." With that they both left.
"What the hell just happened?!" Inuyasha shouted.
