+Chapter 03+

The meeting and change of heart



"What's wrong with you!?" Said Tohruu angrily. He looked at Rin, who wiped her forehead with her hand.

"I'm just tired." She said and jumped onto the sofa, not too far from her earlier position. Ryou looked at Tohruu then to Ringo, who had an I-don't-care look.

"We only played a half hour! Usually you're not tired even when we've played over 3 hours." Ryou said, trying to diffuse the situation.

"So? I'm not me?" Rin said sarcastically and covered her face with the towel. "What about the 'now-we're-engaged' Tohruu and Ringo? He can't play his instrument! He only look at his precious girlfriend, and oh, don't forget Ringo too," she continued.

"IF YOU HAD A PROBLEM, DON'T GIVE ALL YOUR DAMN PROBLEMS TO US!" Ringo yelled. "I'm tired, I'm off!" With that she slammed the door.

"Stay cool Rin. Maybe we need another break tomorrow," Tohruu said and followed Ringo.

"Tohruu's right. Maybe what we really need is a break," Ryou said and walked from their studio, leaving Rin, who was lying on the sofa.

Rin sighed and collected all of her stuff in her bag. She then sat on the sofa, her head resting on her palm.

"Damn it!" Rin cursed silently. Today had been the worst day in her life. Everything she did... always went wrong. Today Kagome got angry at her without any reason and she even said something she wished she never heard, but the worst part was... she slapped her! She slapped Kagome, her cousin, the person who treated her like her own sister. And when she was about to arrive on the studio, she saw them, Ringo and Tohruu kissing.

It had hurt and she felt like crying.

But she tried to keep that inside, vowing to herself not to cry anymore after that day, after her heart broke.

+++

There she was, standing in front of her house. Not daring to open the door, not daring to meet Kagome again. She even thought of running away after she had done something so terrible to someone that had accepted her after her family died. But then, the door opened.

"Rin!" Kagome yelled and embracing her cousin.

"Kagome neechan, gomen ne? Gomen..." She whispered,

Kagome shook her head.

"I'm the one who should say sorry. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that... I'm sorry... I'm confused, I'm..." Kagome whispered and Rin could feel the tears on her shirt.

Kagome was crying. But why?

"What's wrong, Kagome neechan? Is that because of me or... Inu Yasha?" She was right about it being because of Inu Yasha, because her cousin stopped crying after she said his name.

+++

"WHAT??? WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS???" Rin yelled.

"Well... he is Inu Yasha's step brother." Mrs. Higurashi said

"So he has the power to break your relationship????" Rin glowered and punched the table.

"It was my fault, I mean... I'm the one who started the argument. You know me..." Kagome said.

"But he's the one who tripped you and embarrassed you!!!" Rin said again.

"Stop it Rin. We know. We shouldn't blame anyone. Who knows, maybe he didn't plan it. Besides, Inu Yasha was trying to make him change his mind," Mrs. Higurashi said calmly. Rin kept making excuses while Kagome sighed and regretted her act at the party last night...

..............................................................

Flashback:

"Kagome, this is Sesshoumaru, my step brother." Inu Yasha said cooly. Kagome smiled at Sesshoumaru warmly and held out her hand.

"It's nice to finally meet you Sesshoumaru-san, I'm Higurashi Kagome."

Sesshoumaru only looked at her then spun around, leaving Kagome and Inu Yasha.

"Well, Inu Yasha, you have a really nice brother," Kagome said sarcastically, while Inu Yasha shot her an 'I-told-you-so' look. Then they heard the slow music start and saw everyone start to dance.

"Well, Kagome, may I have this dance?" Inu Yasha asked. Kagome smiled and took his hand. But as she was about to start, she tripped on something, and kissed the floor.

Everyone looked at her, whispering to each other...

While Inu Yasha was trying to help her, Sesshoumaru favored her with a dirty look.

"Well, well, it looks like my brother's wench can't walk in expensive shoes." he said coldly, making everyone giggle and laugh. Kagome, being who she was, stood up to face Sesshoumaru with anger in her eyes.

"Well Mr.. I'm-better-than-anyone, you are the one who tripped me, so you are the one who can't keep his feet where they're supposed to be." she challenged.

And that started the war...

Until Inu Yasha's parents came to stop them.

"I will not allow my son to have any relationship with that low-level woman." his father said coldly, making Sesshoumaru smile evilly.

End flashback

.........................................................

Kagome closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. If only she had controlled her temper, if only she had shut her big mouth, this would never have happened.

But if she had just withdrawn without talking back... it would've meant she had really lost her pride, the only thing she could proudly show them.

"Kagome neechan, don't worry! I'll make everything clear!" Rin said and stormed out.

"Rin! Don't do that! You'll make everything worse!!!" Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi yelled, but too late. She was gone...

+++

"Excuse me, where is Sesshou... what ever his name is, where's his office?" Rin asked. The woman at information desk looked at her. puzzled.

"You mean Sesshoumaru-sama's office?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure that was his name."

"I'm sorry, but if you haven't-"

"I don't care! Now tell me where he is!!!!" Rin yelled.

"What happen here?" a cold voice asked. Rin looked at the owner and blinked her eyes in shock.

That stranger!!!! The man she meet at Tokyo square!!!

"Ah Sesshoumaru-sama, this little girl wants to-"

"Hey! I'm not a little girl!!!" Wait a minute...

Sesshoumaru-sama? He was Sesshoumaru? Inu Yasha's brother, the man who she cursed earlier???

"What do you want, little girl?" He asked. Then she remembered.

"I want to finish my cousin's problem with you!" She yelled, with her heart racing.

Sesshoumaru looked at her with questioning eyes.

"My cousin's name is Higurashi Kagome." Rin said, trying to sound as bitter as ever. Then Sesshoumaru smiled.

"So, what's your name, young lady?" He asked politely.

Rin's face went red and she found herself looking at the floor.

"Ah, my name is Mikagi, Mikagi Rin." She smiled shyly and then mentally slapped herself! He was playing with her!

"HEY! I'm come here not to talk sweetly! I want you to apologize to my cousin!" She yelled.

"Well, well, well, is she really important to you?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Of course! And I want her to be happy! Please allowed her to be together with Inu Yasha." She yelled again. Sesshoumaru placed his hand on his forehead and started laughing.

"Did you and your family really need money from our family that bad?" He said between his laughter.

"We don't!!! We don't need your money!"

"So... Why does your sister really want to be together with Inu Yasha? If it's not for money."

"Because she loves him!!!"

Then Sesshoumaru smirked

"Oh, love? So your sister loves his money?" Sesshoumaru asked again. This time Rin got really angry, she couldn't stand his words anymore.

*Slap*

She had slapped Sesshoumaru's cheek.

"WE. WILL. NEVER. NEED. YOUR. MONEY!" Rin yelled and ran away from that building as fast as she could.

She really had made everything worse…

Next day...

Rin fluttered her eyes as she heard a soft voice calling her name. She sat up on her bed and blinked a few times before she saw a familiar face.

Kagome. With a look of concern on her face.

"Ka... Kagome neechan?" Rin asked. Actually, she was feeling guilty after what she had done last night. Her act must have made it so that her cousin and Inu Yasha couldn't ever be together again.

"Sesshoumaru... Inu Yasha's brother is down stairs right now..."

Rin's face went pale and a lot of negative thoughts ran through her mind.

"What does he want?" Rin asked, trying to sound calm.

"He apologized to me, and said that... he accepted my relationship with Inu Yasha!!! Thank you, Rin!!! You must have done something that made him change his mind!!!" Kagome hugged her confused cousin.

Sesshoumaru apologized? After... after she had... slapped him? No way! He must be planning something behind his back!

"Mikagi Rin, may I talk to you for a while?" asked Sesshoumaru, who was standing on the doorway. Rin blinked in shock at his surprising appearance and looked at Kagome hopelessly, but Kagome didn't catch the meaning of her cousin's looks.

And the thought like 'Sesshoumaru + last night incident + Rin + alone in the room = TROUBLE!!!!' running wild in Rin's head like a rollercoaster.

Kagome smile at Sesshoumaru and winked at Rin.

'Oh no!!! Kagome must be thinks that me and Sesshoumaru had... something!!!!' Rin was about to speak but Kagome stopped Rin with her words.

"I'll leave you two then." Kagome excused herself and closed the door. Rin looked at the closed door hopelessly and thinking about dying right now. But she try to looked strong, she didn't want Sesshoumaru looked her like a lost child after her 'I'm a heroine' act last night.

"So tell me... what made you change your mind? After... after I...slapped you?" Rin asked pretending to be calm, but her palms were sweaty.

"Actually... I made my own decision, and I think it's not important for you to know. You might not even understand what am I talking about if I told you," Sesshoumaru said coolly.

"You think I'm that dumb? Man! I can't understand adults sometime!" She said.

Oh no, her temper start to take over...

"Well, I came here to give you something." He throw a box at her. "I will picked you at 6, don't forget to wear that dress." With that he excused himself.

"Wait a minute, O the Great Sesshoumaru... what do you mean about picked me at 6?" Rin asked sarcastically.

Sesshoumaru stopped his move and rested his hand on the doorknob before looked back at Rin.

"You don't need to know. Just wait and see." He said then opened the door. Rin was about to talk back when Sesshoumaru once again stopped, but he didn't looked at Rin as if he was thinking about something.

"And... you look cute in those pajamas."

Sesshoumaru smirked and closed the door. Rin blushed as she looked at the pajamas she was wearing, with pink with red flowers on them.
