"That was two Grandes, a Strawberry Twist, four Brownie Deluxe and an Ice Cream dream" Rin smiled, setting down the order. Kyoui nodded, greedily pulling the ice cream in front of him. Kagome scooted over, making room for Rin to sit down.
"So what's wrong? You look down." Kagome commented as Rin slid into the booth beside her. She smiled when Kyoui started pulling on a very annoyed human head. It was Inuyasha's 'time of the month' and having his hair pulled out wasn't exactly the best remedy.
"It's nothing, just the usual. School, life, blah blah blah..."
"Boy troubles?" Kagome inquired, making Rin blush. Luckily for the whole Shoppee, Inuyasha was too busy trying to pry his locks from his son's death grip.
"I'll take that as a yes. Well, I won't pry"
. . .
"What's he look like?"
"Kagome!"
"Okay, okay..." She sighed, defeated. "Do I get a name at least?"
Figuring that would be harmless, Rin muttered "Rosuto..."
"Rosuto. I like it. I bet he's a stud...."
"I've gotta get back to work." Rin grumbled, cutting off any further questions about her non existent love life. (A/N: *sigh* I know how that feels...) The bell above the door drew her attention and she looked up.
"Oh my gods." She hissed, using the oblivious Inuyasha as a shield.
"Rin what-"
Climbing under the table, Rin glared. "Shh!"
By this time, Inuyasha was starting to notice things.
Suspicious, quiet talking girls
Check
Rin Blushing
Check
Rin getting defensive
Check
Rin hiding under the table
Check
Yup. There's no denying it now. It's obvious that Rin...
.
...was finally going insane. Damn those men in white suits.
"Rin, what the hells are you doin'?" Inuyasha asked, looking around suspiciously.
"Shut up Inuyasha!"
All the commotion, obviously, drew quite a bit of attention to the little booth. What with Rin climbing under the table, Inuyasha glaring at anything that moved, Kagome sighing with another mood swing, and Kyoui's face covered in ice cream, you must admit... It was quite a scene.
Rosuto looked around, looking for where 'the voice' said Rin would be.
Over there
I'm looking 'over there'
No moron. By the booth. Right there
'There' can be many places when your getting directions from nothing
The voice let out an exasperated sigh
'Then allow me to show you' it growled, forcefully making Rosuto's head turn to the booth by the back wall.
That hurt
Good
She's not there
Yes she is
No, she's not. I don't see her anywhere
Foolish mortal. Sight is too heavily relied on. Use your nose
Are you implying that she smells bad?
No, quite the opposite... She's under the table. The one with that vile half-breed
I don't see any 'half-breed'
Once again, use your nose
What do you think I am? A dog?
....
Woof.
"Excuse me..." Rosuto asked, walking over to Rin's fortress. Kagome looked up and gasped, dropping one of her four brownie deluxe back onto the table.
"Sess... Sess... Inuyasha!" She snapped, drawing her husband's attention.
"What is it Kag? I'm a little busy..." He mumbled, still trying to pull Kyoui's sticky fingers from his hair.
Rosuto looked on in surprise as the woman's face paled and her husband's eyes widened and narrowed when he finally paid him mind. The voice in his head started chuckling quietly, growing louder until it can out of Rosuto's own mouth.
"Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha growled.
"So little brother, I see you're still hanging about."
It felt like the world was just ripped out of his stomach. Rosuto felt himself falling into an abyss. He could hear and see everything, but had absolutely no control over anything - as if that single name released his very hold on life.
Sesshomaru lifted 'his' hand to 'his' face, turning it in wonder.
"A mortal body..." He mumbled, clenching and unclenching his fists, watching how the appeared and disappeared. He slowly shifted his gaze to Rin's fortress. "Come now Rin, must you continue to hide from me?"
Rin's eyes widened and her heart began to race. It was all she could do to not run from under the table and hug him. Sesshomaru sighed.
"Very well..."
"Hold it right there mister!"
Sesshomaru halted as Kagome waddled out of the booth, a hand on her stomach, and up to him.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha grumbled, "What are you doing?"
"You're hair..... It looks nice." She smiled, pulling on it. Inuyasha face faulted.
"Daddy dead!"
"It would be much appreciated if you would keep your human hands off of my hair." Sesshomaru growled, smacking her hand away. Kagome glared and waddled back to the table, mumbling something about how some people just couldn't accept compliments. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.
"In any case, I can assure you that this will not be permanent" This is but a temporary housing."
Temporary Housing?! Rosuto demanded
Yes
What the hell are you planning?!
Shut up human. Can you not see that I'm busy?
Give me my body!
... No.
Sesshomaru let out a low growl that not even Inuyasha could hear on his good days. He hadn't waited countless years for a body, just to have some mere human demand it back. The reincarnation process for demons is not an easy one. When he finally was reborn, he was stuck in a mortal body, intertwined with a mortal soul. Of course this mortal had no idea that his body housed this power. Not until a few days ago that is...
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha demanded. "You're dead!"
"It would appear that's no longer the case." He said, picking up a knife from a nearby table. To Rin's horror, he brought it up to his wrist.
"No!" She yelled as he slid it across the flesh. Customers quickly left their orders and fled out the door. Those remaining starred in horror at the red line forming along the man's wrist. Sesshomaru stared at it, bought the injury to his lips and licked off the remaining blood. That act alone caused the rest of the parlor to empty out.
"You're sick..." Inuyasha whispered, still a bit in shock.
Sesshoumaru muttered, more to himself then anything, "No... I'm mortal."
Watching the blood drip to the floor was causing Rin's stomach to turn queasy and she grasped her own wrists so tight she began to lose feeling in her fingers. Kagome had pulled her son close to her, hiding his eyes from the sight and obscuring her own vision in the boy's hair.
Rin looked on as Sesshomaru flexed his fingers and decided she couldn't handle it any longer. She scrambled out from under the table, ripping her apron off in the process.
"Hmm? So Rin, you've decided to show yourself after all."
Not saying a word, Rin wrapped her apron around the demon... The man's wrist and grabbed the other, pulling him away.
"Rin!" Inuyasha yelled, stumbling to stop her. The look Rin gave him stopped the Hanyou in his tracks. Without another look, she led Sesshoumaru out and into the night.
"Why did you let her go?" Kagome asked fearfully. But Inuyasha couldn't even begin to explain. The look in Rin's eyes was filled with pain, anguish, suffering, despair. As though she were falling into an abyss, covered in nothing but darkness where dreams and reality ceased to exist. Even so, like a veil covers the face of a mourning widow, a film lay lightly atop the agony. A veil called hope.

I feel so sick and twisted today....
That was so cheesy it's makin me kinda sick. Thought of it when talking with Margo *waves* Remember: "I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in a ready to fall". Just tell him that.
The Fic that inspired me was Love Beyond Life - Sango-sama, you can find it here:
Since the search is still all screwy x.x Someone asked about it, and but I forgot who specifically ^-^; but there it is for you, and anyone else who wants to read it XD it's really really good.
And no, Sess's reincarnation wouldn't be a three year old. I get where it gets confusing though so no biggie. Sess died in the Feudal Era, so sorry if I didn't make that clear. Even so, o.O if that's how things worked, then Kagome would be like..... 50 x.x a little old for well hopping don't you think? XD So I make him in the ripe 20's, and Rin's like......17 I think .o I forget, which is kinda bad.... So there's not that much of an age different. What? 3 years? ^_^ that's not too horrible.
Yes Yes I know x.x it's getting confusing XD but that makes it kinda fun. We'll find out what happened long long ago, if I ever get around to thinking it up that is .. Next Chapter: "Louder then Words". Subject to change. Posting time unknown.
And NO I haven't forgotten about my other stories. It's just kinda hard to write them when you've got no clue as to what you want to happen x.x plus, my head's kinda filled up with thoughts of LtbF and an RP I'm doing with a friend....
