Good Morning Minna! Yes, I'm very hyper and all my friends abandonded me when they told me they'd be on all night last week. Jk. Here is the second chapter to Rin's Flowers. Please give me some constructive criticism. Please? I need some. I'm so not sure how I'm doing here so give me a review!
~*~Rin's Flowers~*~ Chapter Two: Daisies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I feel such desolation and emptiness now more than ever. How long can I carry this mask before it crack and breaks? I'm afraid that everything I hide will be revealed. Under the pressure of my loneliness, will others return my love? I cannot see why they would. It is too sad.
No. My mask will hold. It has never failed me before. So I will sit in my tower, my own personal entrapment and wait for my black prince. The black-hearted lord with no evil. Because no pure prince can handle the darkness I govern. Does such a knight exist?
I sometimes wish one such being does, but then...I do not. It would kill me. How could I simply abandon my sorrow and bonds onto another's shoulder? It would not be fair. So I hated the day that I met the black lord. He is perfect, but I refuse to hand him the key to my darkness. He does not realize it yet either. And he will not know for as long as I can hide it from him.

"Kumako-kasan!" Rin shouted into Kumako's ear.
The woman jerked out of the trance she had been in from writing in the small jornal in her lap. She looked at Rin and smile, "Yes Rin?"
"Sesshomaru-sama says time to go and he sent Rin to get you."
Kumako chuckled. She loved how Rin talked in the third person, "I'll be right there, okay?"
"Kay! Rin will tell Sesshomaru-sama!"
Kumako followed Rin with her eyes as the girl bounced out of the room. Kumako sighed as she closed the journal, her eyes catching a few words '...darkness I govern...' She slipped the small book into her pocket and left the room. She smirked as Rin ran up to her, Sesshomaru a meter behind her, walking slowly, deep in his thoughts. Rin tugged on her skirt and Kumako kneeled down next to her, wondering what the girl had to say.
"Sesshomaru-sama is thinking very hard, Kumako-kasan, but he won't tell Rin what he is thinking." She whispered into her ear. Kumako smiled and took Rin's hand.
"That may be because he is thinking hard Rin." She stated as she started walking down the street, Sesshomaru tailing behind them.
"Oh. So why can't Sesshomaru-sama tell Rin?" she pondered her large eyes questioning Kumako. She merely laughed as she entertained Rin with riddles. The trio arrived at a club with it's neon letters illuminating the street. The white and pink letters read Spinning Petals. Even though it was mostly a club, it was a restaurant too and because Kumako held two important positions she held some privileges. As they entered, Rin released Kumako's hand and bounded towards the stage. She knocked over a particular silver-haired man.
"Uncle Inuyasha-sama!"
"Yo Rin. What's up?"
"Rin and Sesshomaru-sama are eating dinner here tonight with Kumako-kasan!"
"Well that's cool. Why don't you go find your seat then?"
Rin gave him a big grin then hopped off the stage. Kumako looked up as the girl approached and exchanged glances with Inuyasha. She quickly broke the gaze and returned her attention to Rin. Kumako excused herself and went toward the stage.
"Hey, Inuyasha, are you going solo tonight? Where's Sango and Miroku?"
"Miroku's in the back. I think that Sango's running a bit late though. I dunno."
"So how's life for you?"
"I dunno Kumako. Why don't you 'consult' your pretty cards to find out?"
"I was just asking Inuyasha."
"I have this girl that's started bugging me and she just won't get a clue that I'm not interested."
"Oh really?" she asked, raising her brow.
"Yeah."
"And how many times have you told her?"
"Um...none?"
"I see...and how many times have you seen her Inuyasha?"
"Three times."
"Let me guess, on performance nights?"
"Well, two. Yeah." He shrugged then walked backstage, looking for Mirkou and Sango. Kumako smirked then went back to her table. She took a look at Rin chatting away and Sesshomaru still brooding. She sat next to him and Rin silenced, watching with anticipation. Kumako leaned over in front of him and waved her hands in front of his eyes and took on a pouty voice, "What's the matter Mr. Grumpy Face?"
Rin laughed at Kumako's attempts to get his attention. Sesshomaru simply looked at her. She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand, "I'm so sorry. I forgot. It's make the face Sesshomaru makes everyday day. C'mon Rin, copy Sesshomaru!"
Both girls sat up straight and made straight faces. Sesshomaru glanced at each one then crossed his arms. This was pointless. "I'm just thinking."
"Wow. We broke the record. I think that's the quickest you've ever said anything after we've asked you."
"Hn."
Kumako smiled as Rin began to chat again. Their food arrived as they began eating. Kumako ate slowly as she eyed Sesshomaru. He seemed a little bothered. No problem. She'd find out later, but first. She needed to find out about this girl Inuyahsa had met.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So what do you think? I know it's short and all, but all following chapters will be about the length of two or three Silver Rain chapters. I'm just trying to set up the mood here. Please give me any suggestions or events from one of the other stories, Silver Rain, Hototsu Lilas, or Spinning Petals, which you would like to see here. Um, that's about it. Cio.
Luv Always,

Kumaji: I love receiving reviews from you. It makes me feel not forgotten and you make me want to write more as soon as I receive a review from you. Hugs!
Koneko03: Hey, thanks for the review. I hope you find other stories to review. There's some awesome ones out there. IT makes me remember my first review...*sigh* I hope you enjoy and will come back for more!
spirited-dreamer: Um, this is part of the Silver Rain Arc. But I like Sesshomaru spinning the flower in his hand too. I think with this fic I'll go into more than one person's feelings. What do you think?
toysrusgirl:I agree. Seeing Ses smile is a priceless thing. Lucky we have Rin around. I'm gonna kidnap her from Ses sometime. She's so adorable. I wanna have her!
