===============================================
Rin awoke on Sunday morning on the couch in the living room. "How'd I get here?" She wondered aloud, blinking sleepily. Then the memories of last night flooded her mind.
Sesshoumaru walking her inside, Sesshoumaru sitting down on the couch with her, Sesshoumaru cuddling with her while she was half-asleep... She assumed he had left after she had fallen asleep on the couch.
"He's so sweet..." She said softly to herself, smiling. Noticing she was still in her silk kimono costume, she ran upstairs, almost tripping over the long fabric. Once inside her bedroom, she changed out of the costume and into her bathrobe, then headed across the hall into the bathroom for a shower.
She showered and then dried her hair while walking back into her room. Rin dressed in a casual baseball-style t-shirt, grey with crimson sleeves, and a pair of old jeans that were rather worn out around the bottom.
Rin walked barefoot downstairs to the kitchen and poured herself a bowl of cereal, nodding a good morning to her younger brother, who had his nose buried in an issue of Shonen Jump.
"Mornin' Souta."
"Mornin' sis..." He said almost mindlessly, not looking up from the book. Rin frowned slightly. Souta needed to get out more, that was for sure. It seemed like he was always absorbed in his video games or his comic books nowadays.
She took a bite of her cereal, silently enjoying the cinnamony taste. Souta didnt move as his sister ate, only turning the page every few minutes.
"Hey Souta," She started, taking the magazine away from him and setting it on top of the cabinets. He glared and jumped for it.
"RINNN! I WAS READING THAT!"
"You need to get out more, you can read later. Wanna go to the park and play some catch?" She asked, smiling. Souta's glare quickly melted and he grinned from ear to ear.
"Okay! I'll go get the ball!" He quickly scampered off to his room to find a baseball and his and Rin's gloves.
Downstairs, Rin scrawled a note about where she and Souta were going to be on a post-it and stuck the little yellow piece of paper to the fridge.
The next thing she knew, Souta was stampeding down the stairs, two gloves and a baseball in his hands. "Lets go lets go lets gooooo!" He shouted, handing Rin her glove and practically pulling her out the door. Rin laughed a bit; Souta was so excited.
~*~
Souta practically dragged his big sister down to the park nearby. An old lady was sitting on a bench feeding some pigeons, and there were a couple small children playing on the equipment, with their parents sitting nearby, but other than that the park was quiet today.
Souta ran down the field, a good distance away from Rin and threw the ball. Rin leapt into the air, but missed and the baseball knocked an empty birds nest out of the one tree on the edge of the field.
Rin laughed, jogging to retrieve the ball from underneath the tree trunk. She tossed it at her little brother and he caught it easily; Souta always was more cooridinated than her and Kagome.
So the two continued to play catch into the day.
~*~
Souta ran across the field after the rolling white ball, sweating despite the cool November air. He and Rin had been playing for about an hour and a half now, nonstop. Rin had just made a particularly good throw, though it was too far for Souta to catch it. So now he chased after that damn thing, muttering about 'stupid sloping ground'.
Lunging at the still-rolling baseball, he fell flat on his stomach in the yellowish, dry grass. He grabbed it just in time, and looked up slightly. Five pairs of worn sneakers/old boots were in his line of sight. He scrambled to his feet, ball still clutched in his hand.
Souta was standing before five boys, who looked to be about 14-15. The two in front were twins, with silver hair and dark eyes. Both wore identical, evillish smirks. The other three boys stood behind their leaders, cracking their knuckles and eyeing Souta like a hawk eyes a mouse before striking.
"What do you think you're doing kid?" One of the silver-haired twins stepped forward, a maniacal gleam in his eyes.
"Um... Just... getting my ball..." He stammered, backing away a bit, much like a deer in the headlights of a car. ((AN: Damn! Whats with all the freakin similes?! Curse my english teacher... --))
"I dont think so. You DO know that you've tresspassed on our territory, dont you?" The gang's leader grinned in a psychotic fashion.
'Hey, isnt this Kageromaru and Juuromaru? Goshinki and Muso's brothers...' Souta thought. He had known Goshinki and Muso from school at one time... Before they were murdered...
Kageromaru's smirk turned to a glare. "Get out kid. Leave, now. You and your sister."
"Hey! We dont have to, this is a public park!" Souta shouted, suddenly angry. He didnt want to go home just yet; he and Rin were having fun darn it!
Kageromaru and the rest of the gang's eyes flared with anger. "HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY KAGEROMARU-SAMA?!" The biggest of the other gang members shouted, stepping up just behind his leader.
"We dont have to leave..." Souta stated again, rather meekly, though he tried to be brave. 5 guys who were twice your size were not good odds against you though.
Rin jogged up then, panting slightly. "Whats going on? I heard yelling."
"Rin-neechan! They said we had to leave!" Souta pointed at the small gang, moving quickly behind his big sister.
Rin's eyes hardened and her face turned to a glare. "Oh did they?" She turned to Kageromaru, suddenly seeming a lot more intimidating than she was before.
"This is a public park you know." She said evenly, coolly, rather like Sess would have done. Kageromaru almost shrank back, but stopped himself and glared back at the 17 year old.
"This our territory, now GET OFF!"
"Yeah!" Juuromaru, his twin, added.
"We dont have to." Rin's voice sounded dangerous. If they even laid a finger on Souta, why she'd...
Kageromaru looked furious. "Juuromaru! Ryu! Get those two and teach them a lesson!"
Juuromaru and Ryu ran forward, eyes ablaze. Ryu attempted to knock Souta off his feet, but Rin was quicker. She moved in front of her brother, taking the blow for him.
"Souta, get out of here! RUN NOW!" She shouted, more concerned for her little brother's safety than her own.
"But nee-chan..." His eyes were wide open with fright.
"I SAID GO!"
Souta nodded once and ran across the field as if the Devil himself were at his heels.
~*~
Souta ran down the sidewalk, almost knocking over an old lady carrying her groceries. His mind raced; what to do?! His sister was back there fighting 5 guys who could possibly have knives or guns! She could get killed!
'What to do? What should I do?' He thought frantically. Get Kagome? No, she was at the mall with Inu-oniichan. Get mom, grandpa? No, they werent home at the moment. He felt tears pricking at his eyes.
'She could get killed! I shouldnt have left, I should have stayed to help her fight them off, even though I'm not that big...' Souta sped up a bit, wondering what the hell he was going to do.
He stopped as he heard someone shout his name from behind and a white Jeep slowed down on the street beside him.
"Oi! Souta, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"SESSHOU-NIISAMA!" Souta was overjoyed. Surely his sister's boyfriend could help!
"The one and only. Whats going on?" Sess asked in confusion, looking at the panting boy. He had looked frantic.
"Its Rin-neechan! She's back at the park fighting a bunch of guys! You gotta help Sesshou-niisama! I DONT WANT NEECHAN TO GET KILLED!" He wailed, tears finally spilling.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. Rin was fighting someone?! More than one someone?! "Hurry and get in!" He shouted, frantic now. She could get hurt goddamn it!
Souta hurriedly scrambled into the passenger's seat and slammed the door shut even as Sess drove. He was really pushing the speed limit, hoping he would make it to the park on time.
~*~
Rin ducked another punch and sent a kick to Ryu's groin. It was a dirty trick, she knew, but by god, she was outnumbered here! She kicked him again as he fell to the ground, doubled over in pain.
"YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO HIT GIRLS YA KNOW!" She screamed, smacking him over the head with her baseball glove.
Juuromaru lunged at her from the side, knocking her over and landing on top of her. She winced from the impact, and began to struggle to roll them over.
Juuromaru landed a blow to her face. Owww... That was definately going to leave a bruise, she thought dryly. The other two thugs piled themselves on top of her along with Juuromaru, and began to hit her repeatedly.
Freeing her right leg, Rin landed a kick to one of the thug's hurt spot and he immediately keeled over in pain. Okay, so it was REALLY a dirty trick to use it twice, but GOD DAMN IT SHE WAS OUTNUMBERED!
The other thug kneeled by his friend, checking to see if he was okay. Juuromaru grimaced a bit, but kept his hold on Rin.
Rin hissed animalistically, startling him into letting go of her arm and she immediately punched him in the face. Her mouth twisted into a smirk as she heard a crack, and assumed she had broken his nose.
Kageromaru had stood off to the side, watching his men do his dirty work. Now that two were down, one was injured, and one was distracted, it looked like he would have to join in the fight himself.
Rin picked up her glove again and slapped the only uninjured thug upside the head with it.. "Down." She commanded, as one would command a dog, as he began to stand. The thug's eyes widened and he dropped back to the ground.
"Y-yes ma'am..." The thug was afraid now. This girl wasnt afraid to hit back like most girls, and she fought dirty too!
Finally Rin turned to the last gang member, Kageromaru. She was panting with exertion and the front of her shirt was drenched with sweat, but adrenaline coursed through her veins and justice demanded to be served.
Kageromaru's eyes widned. 'Shit! She's going for me next!' He thought wildly, attempting to turn tail and run. Rin was too fast for him though.
"AIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIIIIIIIIIIII!" She let loose an ear-piercing, Amazon-like war cry, or shriek was more like it. Adrenaline coursed through her veins. Rin dashed at Kageromaru, fist outstretched. Her fist caught him in the stomach and knocked the wind out of him. Kageromaru flew back, gasping.
Glancing around at her work, she crossed her arms and smirked. "THATS why boys arent supposed to hit girls." She proclaimed, grinning. A random groan of pain was the only response.
~*~
A white Jeep pulled up, with a worried Sess and a hysteric Souta in it. Sess leapt out of the vehicle and ran to his girlfriend. Worry was obvious, though his face didnt show much.
"Rin? Rin-chan, are you okay?" He gripped her upper arms lightly and inspected her thoroughly. She seemed okay enough; a little worn, drenched with sweat, a black eye and a couple of bruises. There was no blood anywhere.
"I'm fine Sess. You didnt need to come to my rescue..." She stated, crossing her arms and sticking her nose in the air.
He chuckled a bit. "I can see that. Remind me not to get on your bad side." Sess glanced around at the fallen gang members, shaking his head a bit. Rin had done all this damage? Sugoi!
Souta ran to his sister and threw his arms around her. "Rin-neechaaaaannnn!" He wailed, still crying. "I was so scared you'd get hurt!"
"But I didnt, did I?" Rin said gently, smiling and hugging her brother back. He sniffled.
"No..."
"There ya go. No reason to worry."
"Yeah." Sess smiled. "Rin can definately take care of herself Souta-kun..." Souta let go, and it was Sesshoumaru's turn to envelop the woman in his gentle embrace.
"We should get Nee-chan something cold for her eye..." Souta stated, looking up at his sister's face.
Sess nodded and headed to the machine near the bathrooms, buying a couple of Powerades. Walking back to his girlfriend and Souta, he tossed the 3rd grader one of the bottles and handed the other to Rin to put over her eye.
"Thanks Sess..." She said, sighing contentedly. The cold felt good on her black eye.
"No prob... Lets go home now, I'll give you guys a ride..." So the three piled into the Jeep and Sess pulled out.
~*~
Maybe about 30 minutes after the three left in the Jeep, Kageromaru slowly rose to his feet, groaning in pain. "Damn wench..." Royally pissed, he shook Juuromaru awake and the two walked home slowly.
"Kagura?" Kageromaru called out softly, glancing around the living room. No sign of their mother. "Kagura?" He called a bit louder.
"Hmm? Kagero-kun? Juu-kun?" Kagura stepped out of the kitchen, holding Hakudoshi. She gasped as soon as she saw her brothers' bruises and scrapes. "Oh god!"
"We ah... got into another fight..." Juuromaru said, looking down at his feet. It was one of the rare times that he spoke.
Kagura scowled at her little brothers. "I see that." Setting Hakudoshi on the couch, she stormed upstairs to get the first aid kit, and came back down.
"You two really should stay out of gang fights." She muttered, putting a band-aid and medicine over a cut on Juuromaru's arm.
"Well they were on our territory and pissing us off." Kageromaru stated, glaring.
"I dont care!" She stood abruptly, screeching. "You two had better stay out of trouble from now on!"
"YOU CANT TELL US WHAT TO DO KAGURA!" Kageromaru shouted angrily. Juuromaru nodded furiously. Both twins then stormed up to their room, muttering.
Kagura sighed and flopped back onto the couch. Why couldnt they just stay out of trouble?
"Nee-sama, why do Kagero-niisama and Juuro-niisama fight wif people all da time?..." Hakudoshi asked innocently, climbing into his sister's lap.
"I dont know Haku-chan... I dont know..."

"This our territory, now GET OFF!"
"Yeah!" Juuromaru, his twin, added.
"We dont have to." Rin's voice sounded dangerous. If they even laid a finger on Souta, why she'd...
Kageromaru looked furious. "Juuromaru! Ryu! Get those two and teach them a lesson!"
Juuromaru and Ryu ran forward, eyes ablaze. Ryu attempted to knock Souta off his feet, but Rin was quicker. She moved in front of her brother, taking the blow for him.

"The one and only. Whats going on?" Sess asked in confusion, looking at the panting boy. He had looked frantic.
"Its Rin-neechan! She's back at the park fighting a bunch of guys! You gotta help Sesshou-niisama! I DONT WANT NEECHAN TO GET KILLED!" He wailed, tears finally spilling.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. Rin was fighting someone?! More than one someone?! "Hurry and get in!" He shouted, frantic now. She could get hurt goddamn it!
Souta hurriedly scrambled into the passenger's seat and slammed the door shut even as Sess drove. He was really pushing the speed limit, hoping he would make it to the park on time.

Juuromaru landed a blow to her face. Owww... That was definately going to leave a bruise, she thought dryly. The other two thugs piled themselves on top of her along with Juuromaru, and began to hit her repeatedly.
Freeing her right leg, Rin landed a kick to one of the thug's hurt spot and he immediately keeled over in pain. Okay, so it was REALLY a dirty trick to use it twice, but GOD DAMN IT SHE WAS OUTNUMBERED!
The other thug kneeled by his friend, checking to see if he was okay. Juuromaru grimaced a bit, but kept his hold on Rin.
Rin hissed animalistically, startling him into letting go of her arm and she immediately punched him in the face. Her mouth twisted into a smirk as she heard a crack, and assumed she had broken his nose.
Kageromaru had stood off to the side, watching his men do his dirty work. Now that two were down, one was injured, and one was distracted, it looked like he would have to join in the fight himself.
Rin picked up her glove again and slapped the only uninjured thug upside the head with it.. "Down." She commanded, as one would command a dog, as he began to stand. The thug's eyes widened and he dropped back to the ground.
"Y-yes ma'am..." The thug was afraid now. This girl wasnt afraid to hit back like most girls, and she fought dirty too!
Finally Rin turned to the last gang member, Kageromaru. She was panting with exertion and the front of her shirt was drenched with sweat, but adrenaline coursed through her veins and justice demanded to be served.
Kageromaru's eyes widned. 'Shit! She's going for me next!' He thought wildly, attempting to turn tail and run. Rin was too fast for him though.
"AIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIIIIIIIIIIII!" She let loose an ear-piercing, Amazon-like war cry, or shriek was more like it. Adrenaline coursed through her veins. Rin dashed at Kageromaru, fist outstretched. Her fist caught him in the stomach and knocked the wind out of him. Kageromaru flew back, gasping.
Glancing around at her work, she crossed her arms and smirked. "THATS why boys arent supposed to hit girls." She proclaimed, grinning. A random groan of pain was the only response.

A white Jeep pulled up, with a worried Sess and a hysteric Souta in it. Sess leapt out of the vehicle and ran to his girlfriend. Worry was obvious, though his face didnt show much.
"Rin? Rin-chan, are you okay?" He gripped her upper arms lightly and inspected her thoroughly. She seemed okay enough; a little worn, drenched with sweat, a black eye and a couple of bruises. There was no blood anywhere.
"I'm fine Sess. You didnt need to come to my rescue..." She stated, crossing her arms and sticking her nose in the air.
He chuckled a bit. "I can see that. Remind me not to get on your bad side." Sess glanced around at the fallen gang members, shaking his head a bit. Rin had done all this damage? Sugoi!
Souta ran to his sister and threw his arms around her. "Rin-neechaaaaannnn!" He wailed, still crying. "I was so scared you'd get hurt!"
"But I didnt, did I?" Rin said gently, smiling and hugging her brother back. He sniffled.
"No..."
"There ya go. No reason to worry."
"Yeah." Sess smiled. "Rin can definately take care of herself Souta-kun..." Souta let go, and it was Sesshoumaru's turn to envelop the woman in his gentle embrace.
"We should get Nee-chan something cold for her eye..." Souta stated, looking up at his sister's face.
Sess nodded and headed to the machine near the bathrooms, buying a couple of Powerades. Walking back to his girlfriend and Souta, he tossed the 3rd grader one of the bottles and handed the other to Rin to put over her eye.
"Thanks Sess..." She said, sighing contentedly. The cold felt good on her black eye.
"No prob... Lets go home now, I'll give you guys a ride..." So the three piled into the Jeep and Sess pulled out.

Maybe about 30 minutes after the three left in the Jeep, Kageromaru slowly rose to his feet, groaning in pain. "Damn wench..." Royally pissed, he shook Juuromaru awake and the two walked home slowly.
"Kagura?" Kageromaru called out softly, glancing around the living room. No sign of their mother. "Kagura?" He called a bit louder.
"Hmm? Kagero-kun? Juu-kun?" Kagura stepped out of the kitchen, holding Hakudoshi. She gasped as soon as she saw her brothers' bruises and scrapes. "Oh god!"
"We ah... got into another fight..." Juuromaru said, looking down at his feet. It was one of the rare times that he spoke.
Kagura scowled at her little brothers. "I see that." Setting Hakudoshi on the couch, she stormed upstairs to get the first aid kit, and came back down.
"You two really should stay out of gang fights." She muttered, putting a band-aid and medicine over a cut on Juuromaru's arm.
"Well they were on our territory and pissing us off." Kageromaru stated, glaring.
"I dont care!" She stood abruptly, screeching. "You two had better stay out of trouble from now on!"
"YOU CANT TELL US WHAT TO DO KAGURA!" Kageromaru shouted angrily. Juuromaru nodded furiously. Both twins then stormed up to their room, muttering.
Kagura sighed and flopped back onto the couch. Why couldnt they just stay out of trouble?
"Nee-sama, why do Kagero-niisama and Juuro-niisama fight wif people all da time?..." Hakudoshi asked innocently, climbing into his sister's lap.
"I dont know Haku-chan... I dont know..."
