Pasteries
By: Arthia Maxwell

Disclaimer: I don't own Sessy or Rin, or any of the Inuyasha crew, oh well.I'm trying something new. Please read and review and tell me what you think of it. Thanks a lot. And yes I know that the title has nothing to do with the story but I like pasteries, so there! ~sticks her tongue out at the evil readers~ Now read!

"What was her problem?" Miroku asked gruffly earning himself a smack in the head by Sango. "Hell, if she's just changing addresses then she's got her things elsewhere right?"

"I don't think so." Kagome almost whispered, her eyes staring at the door, which Rin had fled through.

"What do you mean, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked confused.

"I know her. Or at least I've seen her before." Her brow furrowed as she tried to think of were then an imaged flashed through her mind. "I know where now." She whispered.

Since Inuyasha was the only one to hear her he asked, "From where, love?"

"I've seen her in the homeless shelter." She said looking at Sesshoumaru. Now he was really confused. Wouldn't Kagome see her there if they both volunteered there?

"Of course you would, she volunteers there." He said as if she should know that.

"No, she doesn't." She caught his eyes with her's.

"Then what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, she's homeless, or was. She doesn't have anything else other then what she was carrying."

Inuyasha looked at his brother. He didn't know if this information was good or bad. Would taking in a homeless girl as his head cook damage his reputation? The one thing he did know for sure was that if Kagura found out, she would be furious. Sesshoumaru's face remained passive, while he did his own thinking.

"Kagome, what are you doing Saturday?" He asked suddenly stalling everyone in their eating.

"Nothing." She said raising her eyebrows at him. "Why?"

"Would you go out with Rin and get her essentials? Check out her room to see what she does have and buy what she needs." He couldn't help but grin as her face brightened. "I'll pay for everything, including lunch." He looked at the slightly chestfallen Sango. "You should go too."

While Miroku keep Rin busy teaching him how to make eclairs, Kagome and Sango went up to her room and snooped around to see what they needed to get. Kagome was quite surprised at what she did find.

"She has nothing." She peeked into the bathroom. "She's just using the house towels."

"The white ones?" Sango asked opening and closing the drawers in the dresser.

"Yah." Kagome suddenly heard Sango gasp in awe and ran into the bed room to see what held her in awe. She saw Sango standing in front of the window staring at what seemed to be a chandelier ending, one that looked like a crystal tear. Kagome couldn't help but gasp as well. "That is so beautiful. I wonder where she got it." Sango turned to her and practically screamed in horror. Kagome looked at her puzzled. Sango turned back to her and she pointed to the bed. Kagome turned and stared at it. The comforter was the old maid's floral one. The godly roses clashed with everything else in the room. Which reminded Kagome that except for the pieces of furniture in the room, the room was bare.

"We have a lot of work to do." Kagome breathed as she and Sango slipped out of the room.

"She has nothing." Sango said in awe.

The next day Kagome and Sango entered the kitchen early so not to miss Rin, but they were surprise when they found her already there. She was cooking donuts and the aroma filled their noses. There was already a pile of glazed, powdered, and chocolate donuts on the stove.

"Good morning, Mrs. Kagome and Miss Sango." Rin said cheerfully. She turned from the stove and reached into the fridge and pulled out a fruit salad. "You're up early today. You even beat Mr. Sesshoumaru and Mr. Inuyasha." She smiled and picked up the overflowing bowl of donuts and disappeared into the dinning room. Kagome and Sango were left blinking.

Sesshoumaru looked up from his morning tea to see Rin carrying in breakfast. "Good morning, Rin." He said smoothly taking a glazed donut from her.

"Good morning, Mr. Sesshoumaru." She replied smiling happily. Just then both Kagome and Sango peeked their heads out from the kitchen. They spotted Sesshoumaru and gave him a sheepish look before sitting down and joining him for breakfast. Rin disappeared back inside the kitchen. Sesshoumaru turned to the two.

"Well?"

"We haven't told her yet." Sango muttered grinning sheepishly. Sesshoumaru just nodded.

"Where's Inuyasha and Miroku?" Kagome asked changing the subject.

"Miroku was called in early today. They think they might have a new lead in that park girl's case." He catch Rin's sudden change of expression as she entered the room again with orange juice. "And Inuyasha had to go take care of a little problem at his company." When Rin came into his full view, her face was blank and she said nothing to any of them. Something was off, he thought to himself watching her leave again.

When breakfast was done Sesshoumaru called Rin into the dinning room. She stood there nevously. Kagome and Sango were in the enterance hall waiting for her, although she didn't quite know that yet.

"Rin, Kagome and Sango are going to take you out shopping." He raised his hand to stall anything she was about to say to refuse. "Just please pick what you are comfortable with. I want you to get as many clothes as you want, okay?" Rin stood there tense. Finally Sesshoumar stood and took her by the shoulders. She looked up into his handsome face and felt a blush rising on her cheeks. She had never been so close to such a handsome man. His raven hair cascaded down his back and over his shoulders as he bent to look her in the face. Rin tried to look away but his amber eyes held her in place.

"There is no reason to be afraid, Rin. This house is a family, everyone in the house is apart of that family, including you. And family takes care of each other, besides think of this as a bonus for becoming head chef." He grinned carefully at her. Rin stared at him for a few moments. No one had ever cared about her other then Kana. She smiled back at him, then frowned suddenly.

"Uh, Mr. Sesshoumaru." When she hesitated, he nodded for her to continue. "I don't have anything other then this." She looked down at the cook's uniform. He stood and couldn't help but laugh.

"No worrys." He looked her up and down. "I don't think that either Kagome's or Sango's clothes will fit you, but I think I have an old pair of pants that might just fit." He turned and Rin followed him up to his room. She stood in awe in the sitting room while he disappeared into his bedroom to find the clothes. The sitting room as was big as her bedroom. She knew that his bedroom would be at least twice the size, but, she wondered, what would a person do with all that space.

Sesshoumaru came back out into the sitting room and handed Rin a pair of pants, an undershirt and one of his button down shirts, the blue one with navy penstrips, and a belt. Somehow he had a feeling she would need it. When Rin looked around lost, he pushed her into his bedroom and to the bathroom. When the door closed, Rin let her mouth drop. The room was huge. There was a tub big enough for two or three people to fit in, two showers, a toilet, and two skins with a long marble counter. She then quickly dressed, finding that she did need the belt she slipped it through the loops and pulled it tight, buckling it. She came back out, buttoning the shirt except for the top two and the bottom three. Sesshoumaru stared in awe. She looked good in my clothes. I wonder what she would look like in just the shirt. He shook his head violently to shake the thoughts from his mind. She was his cook, nothing more.

"How are they?" He asked.

"They're fine." She whispered. "Thank you." Sesshoumaru smiled down at her. She really was beautiful. He slung his arm around her shoulders and led her to the stairs.

"Go have fun Rin. I'm going to need you to work hard for me tomorrow. A good friend of mine is coming for lunch in the garden."

"Who? If I may ask?"

"The govenor." He grinned at her shocked face.

"Do.do you know what kind of dessert he likes?" She asked.

"He loves strawberries." With that he pushed her toward the stairs. When she looked back at him, he smiled reasuringly at her as she made her way down the stairs and out the front door with Kagome and Sango.

The grils spent the whole morning looking for sheets some which had leaves embored along the top edge, a comforter, which was a forest green with lighter swrils in it, towels, blues, greens, and reds. They also found her other essentrals for keeping clean and well groomed. Kagome herded them into an expessive looking resturant.

When Rin tried to protest, Kagome stated calmly while winking at Sango, "Sesshoumaru is paying for lunch. We can eat anywhere we want. Trust me, Rin, you'll like this place." They ate lunch and talked cheerfully about anything that came to mind. Rin had to admit that she was really enjoying herself.

Later after lunch Sango and Kagome dragged Rin into every woman's department store trying on clothes. She tried on everything from pants to dresses to skirts and shirts. By the time they were done Rin had enough clothes for winter and the spring afterwards. She didn't know it was possible to own so many clothes, but Kagome assured her that she owned at least twice that many. Rin liked looking for casual clothes more then looking for formal or nicer wears. They did have a bit of a hard time trying to find her sizes considering that she was so thin. Kagome did make her get a size bigger saying that Rin was to too skinny and that she needed to gain some wieght. Rin blushed at that comment.

They got home just in time for a takeaway dinner. Kagome took one look around and declaired loudly, "Inuyasha must have ordered, again."

"Hey, Rin, come and join us." Inuyasha said waving to the empty seat were Sesshoumaru usually sat. Yura waved at her from down the table.

"Come on, Rin. It's good!" Yura said loudly fighting another of the maids for the box of fired rice. Rin smiled and gingerly took the seat offered to her. Inuyasha piled rice, eggs rolls, beef and peppers, stired fried all onto her plate. He grinned through a mouth full of egg rolls.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Understand that most of this story is written. But I'm stalling to put it out so that I can get other chapters out but I just can't keep it to myself. This is one of the few stories that I actually like to read. It's style is different but it leave much for the reader to imagine. To think you have to work! Muhahahahahahahah!!!!!!! I am so evil. It is hard to get cliffy chapters though, that's the only bad part. R+R! Laters~
