I've just finished writing chapter one. But I was still in a writing mood, so I'm starting on this. Even though it's half past midnight.

Chapter Two- No home for Rin, and a smug Sesshoumaru
Sesshoumaru sat in the back of the car, glaring. The girl had been placed next to Inuyasha, who was in the middle. Inuyasha talked non-stop, Sesshoumaru wished that he could be as fortunate as the girl, who was still out cold, he continued to glare as Inuyasha talked, his eye twitching slightly.
His father was still ranting about when he'd said that Sesshoumaru should bring more girls home that he didn't mean it like that, which only made Inuyasha become more annoying, if that was even possible.

Rin woke up to see a blinding light, her eyes adjusted to realise that it was the glaringly clean ceiling of the hospital. She sat up to see a pretty woman with black hair and a pink kimono smiling at her.
"So you are awake. I was getting worried," she said happily, as if Rin was her daughter or something
'Who are you?' Rin signed, praying that this woman would understand, and to her delight, the woman smiled.
"My name is Izayoi, what's yours?" she replied in the same positive tone.
'My name is Rin'
She nodded "That's a nice name, Inutaisho and the boys are with the doctors right now discussing things."
'Inutaisho?'
"Yeah, Sesshoumaru's father."
Rin sighed, she was beginning to feel very stupid, and... maybe she'd suffered memory loss? She hoped this generally nice woman wouldn't think she was stupid.
'Who is Sesshoumaru?'
Her smile faded slightly "You don't even know him? I had expected you knew each other, but he did mention he didn't know your name. He carried you to our house."
Rin nodded, so that person before, she'd been so rude. She was surprised they'd actually taken her anywhere.
'Izayoi-san, you are...Sesshoumaru's mother?'
"No" Izayoi answered "I'm his stepmother"
Rin nodded, not wanting to pry further. Not that she'd have had the chance, because at that moment three white haired people entered. She guessed that the older one was Inutaisho, which just left her to determine who this Sesshoumaru was.
"There's a problem, Izayoi" the man who she was now sure was Inutaisho said
"A problem?" Izayoi looked worried and held a hand to her face "Is it serious?"
Inutaisho laughed softly "No, it's nothing like that...but...we've been looking through the girls records and-"
Rin sighed and closed her eyes. She looked up at Inutaisho and signed 'Yeah, you found out that I'm an orphan. And let me guess, the children's home claimed no ownership over me.'
Inutaisho looked slightly surprised but nodded sadly. Rin leant back onto the pillows, closing her eyes.
---Flashback---
A 6-year old Rin sat on a bench outside her new home the bench was under a blooming cherry blossom tree.
"Rin?"
Rin's head remained staring at the ground, tears falling freely.
"You'll be very happy here," said her social worker, Fei.
Rin shook her head desperately, sending more tears onto the concrete ground.
"Rin, I know it's hard" Fei placed a hand on the shaking child.
"You don't know anything" whispered Rin, opening her eyes and jumping off of the bench "ANYTHING!"
"Rin please..."
"You want to get rid of me! You all want to get rid of me!"
Fei stood up, burning with a sudden fury "Rin, you know that's not true, we all just want to help"
"RIN CAN'T BE HELPED!" Rin screamed balling up her fists and bringing them up to her chest, exploding in new tears "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL, I HATE YOU FEI, I HATE YOU PAPA, I HATE YOU KOHAKU, I...I HATE YOU MAMA!"
"Rin" snapped Fei, grasping the child "It's no good," she said to the worker behind her "Get me the tranquilliser, she's entered a state of shock"
The worker nodded and ran into the home, she came out wielding a needle, approaching the trashing child, she lowered it. Jabbing Rin in the arm. Rin hit the floor and a tear fell onto the cherry blossoms, she smiled lightly as she entered a delusional state "Mama...you left Rin behind"
The last words she heard before she lost consciousness were;
"Do we have to put up with such a nasty kid?"
"Not for long, I hope"
---End of flashback---
'Yes I remember, I haven't spoken since then...so long that I can't anymore. I can't speak anymore. I knew it, they'd disown me the first time they could. But I'll be fine, right? I'll be ok...'
A paper ball hit her head, interrupting her thoughts, she raised her head accusingly. She saw the taller of the two boys that weren't Inutaisho, sitting on a chair with one leg draped over the other.
'Hey! What was that for?' she objected. And was surprised when he started to sign back.
'You spaced out. Dad, Izayoi and the mutt have gone to talk some more with the doctors' he signed. He looked a little irritated at her bemused expression 'What? Have I got something on my face?'
'No. But...why don't you talk?' she signed back, slowly.
'You thought the fact my entire family knows sign language is coincidence?' he shook his head 'And I thought you were smart. You've got a smart mouth, that's for sure'
She glared 'So, you're Sesshoumaru?'
'Yes. What of it?'
'Nothing, I was just talking to Izayoi-san and she told me 'Sesshoumaru' brought me here...' then she ran out of conversational ideas, and this guy wasn't exactly Mr. Conversation.
'What's your name?' he supplied
'Rin'
He nodded, standing up 'Well, Rin, I do believe you owe me one.'
'Where are you going?'
He rolled his eyes 'I am going to get my father. To tell him I am bored of you and want to go home'
'This guy is such a brat' thought Rin

Sesshoumaru smiled as he exited the room, that Rin was fun to wind up. He walked along the clean corridor, snapping open the door of the doctor's office.
"Of course we will! Right, Inutaisho?" Izayoi was saying
"Well I suppose- Ah! Sesshoumaru! Izayoi and me were just considering..." said his father, in a suspiciously guilty voice.
"They want that girl to come live with us!" interrupted Inuyasha.
'No' signed Sesshoumaru simply.
"Sesshoumaru! Don't be rude! Of course she can live with us... I mean why not? We all know sign language" Inutaisho argued
'I dislike her'
"Well" said the doctor "You have a big enough house, and enough money to make her happy, and you have the sign language thing down. So, I don't see why not"
"Don't we have to inform some guardians of hers?" Izayoi inquired
"Normally, yes, but in this case she has no living relatives" the doctor said simply, "The poor child, You might have heard of the Koji murders?"
"Yes" Izayoi said quickly "Those poor people. Don't tell me she is-?"
The doctor nodded and handed over Rin's file "Koji Rin, the last member of the Koji family"
Izayoi gasped "Poor girl, she was only 6!"
Sesshoumaru balled his fists, she may be fun to annoy but he didn't want to live with her! He went back to the room that Rin was in.
Oi, girl he signed Apparently you're going to come to live with us
Rin's eyes widened 'With you?'
'Yes'
The girl laid back against the pillows 'I see'
Sesshoumaru took the opportunity to be as smug as possible 'It is going to be so much fun'
'Brat'
'What?!'
Wow, I'm wiped! It's 02:32!

A sneaky peek at chapter three:
Izayoi, you forgot to mention we would be sharing a bathroom! signed Sesshoumaru, stressing on the 'bathroom'.
Izayoi's mouth formed a little 'o' and she turned away, grinning evilly "Did I?"
