Chapter 17

Sesshomaru lay in his bed, wide awake. He was just sleeping peaceful…for a brief moment, until Rin's face appeared. Guilt spread throughout his body, therefore keeping him up. Other than that, just a moment he thought he felt a tug to his soul, but just for a moment. He thought of going to check upon Rin, but seeing her sad face made him think twice. So he just lay there in his bed, until finally sleep took control.

OOO

Rin sat on a different park, miles away from the mansion and from Sesshomaru. She sat there regaining her energy for the trip, she was about to continue on, but needed the rest. So there she was on a park in a town, she was not familiar with, and sitting in a bench looking up at the fading full moon that they sky consumed to make way for dawn. She sat back closing her eyes and took a deep breathe. Was this the right decision? She thought over and over again… Yes, it's better for both her and Sesshomaru's lives she kept telling herself. Rin fell for a light sleep dreaming about her times with her dear Sesshomaru, til she heard the light chirps of the birds, saying a new day has come. She opened her eyes and looked at the sunrise in the distance. She smiled happily at the sight. How she wish she could spend this time with Sesshomaru, or her friends. Friends…..she wished to tell Kagome about her run away plan or at least go over there and stay with them avoiding Sesshomaru the rest of her life. But atlas, she couldn't. There were always excuses if she were to inform her best friends. They would try to convince her to not run away, but to face Sesshomaru or least have someone with her to watch over her. And if she were to stay with them, Sesshomaru would certainly know where she had gone and try to make it up to her or Kagome would do her little matchmaking to make the troubles go away. Those were reasons she couldn't turn back. Facing Sesshomaru and being a burden to her friends.

Rin stood up from her bench and stretched. She relaxed and looked once more at the sun rise before taking off. It wouldn't be long before Sesshomaru found out she was gone. And when he found out, it would too late to find her, now that she would be far for him to run after and her scent would be long faded to follow after.

OOO

CRASH!

BANG!

THUMP!

Papers were thrown over the room. Desks and chairs were knocked down or broken in pieces, dents in walls and servants scurrying around to fix up the study room. Sesshomaru held one hand to his forehead and the other clutched into a fist emended to the dent of the wall. It was still early into the morning, about 10 minutes til 10 AM. But 30 minutes since he found out Rin was missing.

Apparently Sesshomaru was tossing and turning in his sleep, causing him to wake fully. Now no longer tired, or able to fall back to sleep, he dressed and headed over to Rin's room. The only thing to do was clear any problems in the way, if he was to move forward and get some sleep. He reached Rin's room and surveyed her room for the girl. Not seeing her form, he looked once more in case he missed her by chance, before going out and asking servants if they have seen Rin. He asked about all the servants, maids, cooks, and whatever person who was in the house if they have seen Rin, but all answers he got were 'no sir' or 'I have not since the maiden since you brought her yesterday'. Sesshomaru grew impatient and a bit worried. He looked outside, if by chance she got outside and no one seen her head out. He checked about 10 times around the garden and back around before heading back inside, now worried. He sniffed for her pleasant scent, but it was long faded and couldn't follow, making him angry now. Sesshomaru went into his study room and went to the phone. The only thing left was to call any friends of hers if they knew where Rin was. By some chance, last night she sneaked out and in seeks of comfort for the harsh truth. He held the ringing phone in hand, with little patience and hope that she was ok. When Kagome picked up and Sesshomaru asked if she had seen Rin, he had about lost anything he had left. Kagome had answered they were out at a club last night, her Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango, and didn't get back til late at night so they couldn't have seen Rin.

She had a worried and concern tone in her voice when she asked why. But Sesshomaru didn't hear it, when he slammed the phone down into the table breaking it. Then punched, kicked, snapped in two, and terrorized whatever he caught sight of in his study. Servants ran into the room to see if their master was ok, but found he was enraged, so they tried to clean up a bit and stay out of his way not to anger him further.

Red tinted his eyes as he glared out into the morning sky. Rin…

OOO

"Kagome put the phone down! You know what kind of jackass he is, he's not gonna pick up!"

"But Inuyasha he asked me if I knew where Rin was, clearly he doesn't know where she is, so she could've been kidnapped or worst!" Kagome screamed at him as she called Sesshomaru's phone for the 50 time since he called.

As Kagome said on the phone, her, Inuyasha, their 2 friends were out at a club until morn and haven't waken up since Sesshomaru's annoying phone call. When Kagome answered half-wake all she heard was the demanding of if she or Inuyasha had seen or heard from Rin or knew where she was. At first she was pissed off he would call so early and call with such an attitude without even a hello or good morning. But when his words registered in her mind it was then Kagome woke up full blast and answered no that she was out with Inuyasha and gang at a club all night. Yet wished for him to explain, but was only answered by a loud bang to the phone and a dial tone afterwards. She had tried numerous times calling him back to get an explanation for the sudden questions, but no luck. Inuyasha had come over and found her on the phone and demanded why she was on the phone so early in the morning. After 10 calls and 50 rings later did she explain the situation, where Inuyasha was now sitting down in the kitchen eating ramen noodles as she stood with a hand to the phone on her ear and the other hand on the counter tapping for someone to pick up.

Inuyasha had become tired and annoyed with the nonstop tapping buttons to the phone, the continual rings, which were followed by an annoyed groan after 30 seconds later. This process had been going on for about an hour now and it didn't cease to stop. Inuyasha growled as he placed down his ramen noodles and went over to her. He snatched the phone from her and threw it to the side after shutting it off. He then pulled her into a tight hug to stop her from killing herself of worry.

"This is the second time she was missing Inuyasha and I don't like it" she cried into his chest accepting the warm embrace.

"Shh….it's ok, she'll be okay…it always did in the end right?" he rubbed her back to cease her crying and her worries.

But it did no effect as Kagome cried harder, therefore the smell of salt assaulted his nose and his shirt became damp from her tears.

"Why do these things happen to her? She was almost raped, she was almost killed, and now this" she sobbed concerned about her best friend.

Inuyasha pulled her away from his chest and tilted her chin so he could look into her deep brown eyes. "Almost…almost Kagome…it didn't happen now did it? She wasn't raped in the end, she wasn't killed either from the car accident, and she will get over this as well, so don't worry. Everything will be okay, alright? It always was in end so stop crying, crying won't bring her back" he soothed her.

Kagome looked into his honey ember eyes and smiled a little as the remaining tears rolled down her red cheeks. Inuyasha cupped her face with his hands and wiped the rolling tears from falling with his thumbs. He pulled her for a soft, comforting kiss, which did the trick as he felt her relax and ended the annoying tears and hiccups. Kagome pulled away to face him with hope in her eyes.

"You really think we'll find her Inuyasha?" she sniffled softly as she whispered her words.

"I don't think Kagome, I know so…we'll find her with you, me, Miroku, Sango, and even that bastard Sesshomaru" he smiled as he leaned his head on hers. "With all of us looking, everything will be alright, everything will go back to its crazy and stupid ways…I promise" he whispered as he kissed her forehead.

Kagome giggled and smiled brighter. "Thanks Inuyasha….we will find her and everything will go back to being fresh and clean"

"No problem Kagome" he smiled as they let go of their embrace.

Inuyasha turned to go back to ramen noodles, as Kagome went to retrieve her discarded phone. As Kagome picked up the phone and placed it back to its base, she turned and smiled at Inuyasha as she called.

"Inuyasha"

Inuyasha turned and saw her smiling. "Hm"

"Can you do me a favor?" she grinned at her boyfriend's confused look. "When I said everything will go back to being fresh and clean…does that mean you'll stop kissing me with beef breath too?" she tilted her head to the side innocently.

Inuyasha growled at the insult, but stopped when he saw her starting to giggle. He ran over to grab her, but jumped out of the way and they chased around the house. In the end Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and assaulted her tickles that left her breathless from laughing so hard on the floor.

"Inu…yu..asha…. can't breath…." She laughed out.

Inuyasha glared at her and believed she learned her lesson, so he stopped his attack.

"To answer your question…" Inuyasha started as he looked deep into her eyes "…is no" he smirked when she frowned.

Kagome shook her head and sighed. "I wouldn't want it any other way…Inu-chan" she smiled when he glared annoyed with the nickname, but ignored it with a sorry kiss to make it better.

"I love you Kagome" he whispered through their kiss.

"And I too, love you beef breath" she smiled.

Inuyasha and Kagome then stood up and smiled at each other.

"So…let's get my bastard brother and find our missing friend" Inuyasha proclaimed as he headed out the door with Kagome following after.

OOO

Rin walked on and looked at all the couples pass her by with love in their eyes and the happiness shown in each other's presence. Rin sighed and wished that would too happen to her one day. Too bad it won't be with a certain youkai she thought blandly. She looked down to her feet as she walked on, oblivious to her surroundings…and apparently to the person she bumped into as well.

Rin's butt meet the cement floor as the force pushed her to the ground. She rubbed her butt and muttered her sorries to the person she bumped into.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going" she softly said as she rubbed her abused bottom. A hand came out in front of her face as Rin then looked at it then up to the owner.

"No need for your apologies" he smiled "I wasn't looking where I was going either"

Rin gaped at the young man in front of her. He looked to be 18 years old with his innocent sapphire blue eyes, his wavy ink black hair that came to half down his back, a height of 5'8 but was still consider short from a tall 6 foot taiyoukai. He was well shaped muscles that showed he worked out, but his calm peachy tan face made him look to be a young innocent child.

Rin took his hand and he pulled her up. She smiled shyly at him for staring for so long. Hmm good looking…around my age…and human!

"I'm sorry for my clumsiness Ms.-"the young man apologized holding out his hand to shake.

And well manner…my kind of guy…if I were looking for one

(A/N: Ooo Bad me….I don't think I gave Rin a last name…ouch…sorry guys! Well I guess I can make up for my

mistake up now, ne? SORRY!)

"Tengoku, Rin" she answered taking his hand and shaking it. But he had other plans as he took the back of her hand and raised it to his lips and placed a small kiss on it.

"Very nice to meet you Tengoku-san" the young man answered

If I ever need a boyfriend I am to DEFINITELY look him up.

"Arigato…but it's just Rin" she blushed until her face was pink and noticeable.

"Oh of course…Rin-san…my name is Kotaishi, Hansamu, you may call me however you like" he smiled sweetly.

Rin blushed and took back her hand "Ar-arigato Hansamu-kun…umm I must be going now" she said placing her head down once more as she walked around her new friend.

"Ah of course…do you need a ride? I'd be happier to take you to your destination if you wish to" he offered turning to her for her answer.

Rin stopped where she stood, she didn't know where she was headed and didn't even know where she was.

"Uh…I'm fine arigato" she whispered as she started to walk once again.

"Umm…not to be a bother Rin-san…but are you going somewhere?" he asked gazing at her luggage.

Rin stopped frozen once again. She didn't want to lie to her new friend but she didn't want to tell him the truth either, in fear that he might be like Kagome and take her back where she left in the first place. What do I do? Tell or not… tell him the truth or lie?

Rin sighed as she turned to face Hansamu's blue gaze. She looked into them seeing that they were truthful and wouldn't hurt her in anyway. So she decided that he can trust him and chose to tell him the story.

"Hansamu-kun…the truth is …. I don't know where I'm going" she sighed looking to the ground away from his confused look. "Heck I don't even know where I am or where I'm going" she said softly.

"Oh" he answered lowly sorta understanding her situation. "So you're lost? I can help you find your way back home and-"

"NO!" she screamed now looking up to his gaze regretting to even had said anything now that he mentioned of helping her back home.

Hansamu was stunned by her sudden burst by the mention of home, just then he got what she was doing and why she didn't wish to be brought back home. If she doesn't know where she's going or where she is with a bag of luggage…yet wishes not to go back home then she must be… homeless!

Rin turned red from her sudden outburst. She knew he only wanted to help, so she sighed and decided to explain.

"Gomen nasai Hansamu-kun for my reaction I didn't me to shout…you see the reason why I don't wish to go home is because-"

Hansamu shook his head and smiled as he cut her off. "No need to explain, Rin-chan! I understand completely in your situation…please allow me to assist you and give you a place to stay" he took her hands and grinned.

Rin looked at him at disbelief. "Yo-you do?" she stuttered.

"Hai! No need to be sad or embarrassed because I will help you get over it" he nodded his head as he smiled at her. "You can stay at my house for the time being okay?"

Rin blushed at his offer. "I don't wish to be a burden or-"

Hansamu once again cut her off. "Not at all! Stay as long as you want until you get back on your feet" he titled his head and gave a heart melting smile.

"Arigato Hansamu-kun…" she smiled happy he understood and she didn't have to explain…sort of.

"Please come this way my house isn't far from here" he took her hand and started walking down the block. How can such a pretty girl have no home? Doesn't she have friends or family?

It was a silent trip, but a short one as they walked until they came to a white bricked house, that was 2 stories high and a nice fresh cut lawn in the front. By it was a garage with a red Mercedes in the driveway.

"This is a nice house Han-kun" Rin complimented as Hansumu opened the front door and they stepped inside.

"Arigato Rin-chan" he smiled going over to his answering machine to see if he had any messages.

Rin gazed around as she observed that the walk way lead straight into the kitchen but to the left of the walk way was the living room and the right was the dining room. She saw a stairway leading to the second floor just before entering the kitchen. She sighed and her eyes grew sadden. It was a nice house but not as nice as the house she once lived in…err mansion.

Once he checked his messages, Hansamu looked at her face and his turned to sympathy of the girl's loss. Poor Rin…at least she has somewhere to stay.

(A/N: Man, he may look good but man is he stupid! I guess not all good lookings have brains: P)

Rin walked into the kitchen and sat down. Her stomach growled for food, she hadn't eaten at all last night or for breakfast. Hearing her stomach, Hansamu took out a pan and started cooking pancakes for his guests. Rin smiled and looked around the kitchen. It was a normal kitchen with a table, sink, stove, microwave, refrigerator and such. But this one was a nice one. She sat on a stool chair that to her left if you walk on lead into the entertainment center, but to her right lead into the living room. Up front was Hansamu by the stove flipping pancakes and then there was a little TV to watch at the side as you eat. By the little TV on the counter was the sliding door to the outside of the back of the house. She decided to go into the living room and look around until the pancakes were done. She looked at the living room to see a little boy, a woman, and man in picture frames around the walls. Must be his parents she thought gazing at some. She continued her observation when she noticed the room was tan with a peachy carpet on the ground. Another TV but a medium sized with a table at the center and a couch just in front of it. She then noticed a black piano at the side of the entrance and believes he played the piano since he had one. She sighed and saw the living room connect to the other part of the living room. Two room living room…nice. She went through the connection into a little living room that only had 2 long couches and a one seat chair, and of course the continual of the peach carpet. (I forgot what the one chaired couch were called sorry) And in the middle was a glass table. She explored further as she existed out the little living back to the walk way of where she came from. Rin walked straight into the dining room which was very classy with its long table and a chandelier on top, but had smooth wood floorings. She walked around the table to the exit of the little dining room back into the kitchen, where she saw Hansamu placing the pancakes on the china ware. She walked into the entertainment center room where it was big or so to speak. With its big screen TV over to the side and the smooth flooring that you break dance on. Then on the opposite side of the TV was a love couch you could seat in to watch movies all night. Rin walked over to the couch and sat down. She sat back and sighed missing the old mansion she had been living at for 2-3 weeks now.

Hansamu smiled brightly to her as he brought over to plates of pancakes, 3 in each, and Mrs. Butterworth syrup under his arm.

"Done looking around?" he smiled as he sat next to her. "Thought you might be hungry, with all that exploring" he grinned as he handed her plate.

"Arigato" she softly smiled as she took it from him. "Umm Han-kun what about the-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Hansamu pulled from his pockets, 2 forks and 2 knives.

"Can't eat without these can you?" he laughed as he handed her the pair.

"No we can't" she giggled as she accepted the eating utensils.

They ate in silence as they ate their breakfast. When they finished Hansamu took her plate placed it over his and then placed their used forks and knives over it. He then placed the dirty dishes to the side to take care of later, but for now they were to rest their bellies and talk, which Hansamu started off.

"So…Rin" he said starting the conversation "Where did you come from before …you know…" he asked. "…left it" he asked in nicer terms.

Rin sighed and sat back looking up at the ceiling. "In Tokyo, I lived with a friend in a mansion." She answered.

Hansamu whistled in approval. "Wow, a mansion…nice"

Rin sighed "Yeah, I guess you can say that" she whispered. It was silent from there for a few minutes.

Clearing his throat he then asked "So…why did you live at the mansion with your friend? What happened to your parents?" he asked curiously.

Rin lowered her eyes so her eyelashes covered half of it. "I have few memories…I was told I they died in a car accident when I was at a young age" she sniffled at the recalling the memory.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!...please don't cry, I didn't mean to bring such harsh memories…I'm sorry…you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" he said quickly when he caught sight of a tear drop.

Rin held back the tears and the sob that were coming forth.

"No it's ok…I feel better talking about it with someone" she softly hiccupped.

Hansamu smiled. "So about your friend…is he/she a good friend that you decided to live with him since then?" he asked.

"I guess you can say that…I lived with him for 2-3 weeks now" she sighed as she sat up straight when she realized she was slouching.

Hansamu gaped at her. "2-3 weeks! Then where have you been staying before that?"

Rin smiled as she faced him. "I lived with another friend…more of a best friend for 3 months, or so I was told"

Hansamu gruffed and crossed his arms as he mumbled "Not much of a friend if they're kicking you out on the street"

Rin caught on to that and looked at him confused "What do you mean kicking me out on the street? They didn't kick me out" she said annoyed with him.

"You wouldn't be out here then if they didn't kick you out" he said hotly.

Ok now Rin was pissed off. He was bad mouthing her friends who were more than generous to let her in their home for her all these months. They were anything but bad friends.

"What the hell are you talking about Hansamu! I thought you understood, why would they kick me out when I was the one who chose to run away!" she screamed at him as she stood up glaring at him.

Hansamu was about to answer back when the words 'run away' hit him hard into the head. "You…ran…away?" he said slowly.

"DUH! Why else would I be out here!" she yelled at him not noticing his confused look.

"And you're …not …homeless?"

Rin gritted her teeth at him, thinking he was playing stupid. "Homeless? Why would I be homeless when my friends have always been there for me! Hell they would kill me if they found out I ran away!" she shouted.

Hansamu blinked really hard trying to get every word that was tossed at him.

"So you're not homeless?" he asked stupidly.

"ARGH!" Rin groaned as she stomped out of the room to find sometime alone.

Hansamu smacked his head. "Note to self…don't mess with angry chicks" he sighed as stood up to get the story cleared up with Rin, that and to apologize for his stupidity.

OOO

Sesshomaru growled angrily as he paced around his room. He had looked everywhere that Rin would have gone, especially the park. He tried to catch her scent but it was so faint to follow.

"She could have been kidnapped by some idiot during the night when I wasn't there to protect her" he grumbled. "She could be now forced as a slave for the fool, rape and abused her, or worst kill her!" he punched his wall once more.

Sesshomaru leaned his head on the wall and closed his eyes as he thought his possible options.

"No" he whispered "that couldn't have happened if that did I would have heard her scream or shout at least" he reasoned himself out. "So she couldn't have been taken away" he asked himself out loud. He was then brought back into reality and out of his thoughts by an annoying voice.

"Good job Sherlock you figured out the problem" sneered Inuyasha as he entered the room.

Kagome came in after him; they then looked over the damages of the room made by the taiyoukai.

"Someone's been working out" Kagome chuckled looking over to Sesshomaru and his messed up figure.

"What do you want?" he growled not needing their annoying selves today.

"Hmm…we came for some answers but I guess that's no longer needed since you've been talking to your bastard self for so long that it has been anwered…speaking of which…I think you need to get some help, talking to one's self is the first step to insanity" Inuyasha teased.

Sesshomaru grumbled "Now I wonder whose the cause of that" he bit out as he stood up straight, fixing his figure, and gazed at Inuyasha to point out what he meant.

"Glad to be the reason why you're brought to the asylum, big brother" he grinned.

Kagome cleared her throat to get back to the original subject.

"If you 2 are done playing Ren and Stimpy….we have a certain friend to find" she narrowed her eyes on Sesshomaru.

"And to do that we need to sort out this problem and think intelligently" she hissed out "Not like children who can't seem to agree in anything without arguing!"

Sesshomaru crossed his arms and gruffed. "Then you might want to count out Inuyasha, we won't get anywhere with a brain of his capacity"

Inuyasha growled loudly. "Oh so what do you prefer a brain like mine or a melted one like yours that can't seem to see the difference of what's sane and insane such as talking to yourself!"

Sesshomaru glared coldly at Inuyasha "I think I prefer a melted one, a brain like yours couldn't even stand up to a melted one…maybe it will with a noodle …but oh wait maybe not because it'll probably be the same" he countered

Kagome sighed as she leaned back onto the wall. She rubbed her temples as a migraine formed. They act worst than children!

"Why you-!"

Kagome knew where this was going and knew this was the time to jump in. "Stop it!" she shouted.

Both brothers look to her like she was crazy.

"The way you're acting now, I'm starting to wish I was in Rin's place!" she hissed. "If you don't stop and think this over TOGETHER we'll never find Rin!"

Sesshomaru scoffed at her "I can find Rin on my own"

Kagome shot Sesshomaru a furious glare "If you can find her on your own Fluffy, wouldn't she be here now instead of us being here to discuss where to look first!"

Sesshomaru growled and was silent then, knowing she was right. Kagome sighed and ran her fingers over her bangs.

"I know your worried about her Sesshomaru and so are we…but we'll never find her if you keep acting this way with Inuyasha" she said calmly. "Now if we can put our theories and ideas together, I believe we can find her, okay?"

Sesshomaru stared at her emotionlessly, not giving her an answer.

Kagome rolled her eyes at his stubbornness. "The faster we do this, the faster we get out of her got it?"

Sesshomaru sighed and nodded. Kagome clapped her hands and smiled. "Good that's one brother now for the other, ….Inuyasha" she glared at him as if saying, 'cooperate or die not cooperating'.

"Feh" he crossed his arms and leaned back into the wall.

"Excellent! Let's start! Starting with…what happened and why" Kagome exclaimed as she flipped over a tossed back chair and sat on it.

OOO

Rin sat out in the backyard on the porch. She was still mad at Hansamu for kidding such things. Homeless! Now what kind of idiot thinks like that? (Ppl like Han-kun that's who! Lol I had to say…sorry)

Rin heard the door slide open and knew who it was, but didn't knowledge him. Hansamu sighed as he closed his door and sat down next to Rin. She turned away from him, making him uncomfortable. If she wasn't gonna say anything, he was.

"I'm…sorry for thinking such things Rin-chan…I guess I should have things over before leading into deeper conclusions" he pouted a little to show he was sorry.

Rin glanced at him at the corner of her eye and saw him pouting. She stifled a giggle from coming out, she wanted to show she was still mad at him, but failed miserably when she burst into a whole lot of giggles. She tried covering it with her hand, yet she was shaking in her whole body.

"What's so funny" he pouted some more. Hansamu knew why she was laughing, but wanted her to say it.

"Y-you…are..." she tried to say as she ceased her giggling.

"Me? Funny? I think not" he said acting insulted "If I were funny I'd join the circus" he rolled his eyes.

Rin shook her head at his stupidity. Remembering the reason she was out here and why she was mad at him, she turned away once again.

"Aw come on Rin-chan, I said was sorry" he whined.

Rin turned to him and quirked an eyebrow at him. "You're acting like a child you know?"

Hansamu blinked at her like she was crazy. "Really? I haven't noticed" he grinned teasingly. He titled his head and pouted his lips. "You're not mad at me…are you Ri-chan?"

Rin looked at his eyes and knew he was sorry. Even though she knew he was sorry, she couldn't be mad at him, especially when he mad that face.

Rin sighed "I could never stay mad at you Han-kun" she smiled.

Hansamu grinned and hugged her. "I am truly sorry and to prove I'm sorry I will take the time to listen to your story from start to finish so I won't think you're an alien next" he laughed.

Rin rolled her eyes. "Han-kun…you're truly a stupid friend, you know that?"

Hasamu gave a heart melting smile that could melt the coldest hearts. "Yes, I'm aware of that…now start"

Rin took a deep breath and explained everything that had happened since she had been in the accident, what she had heard to retrieve memories from friends that she lost during the accident, and the current situation of yesterday's events. When it came to the rough parts, it took all her strength not to break down and cry and to finish her story. But Hansamu was there to calm her down with a pat to her hand or a rub to the back.

(Since I'm lazy and have no time to write everything she says that happened I'm just gonna skip over that, kay?)

When she finished, Hansamu gaped at her like a fish out water.

"Wow…now I know I was far from thinking your homeless" he pointed out. Rin nodded and raised her eyebrow at him.

"What about you?" she asked.

"Me?"

"Yes you, I told you practically my whole life and have yet to hear yours" she smiled.

Hansamu tapped his chin thinking if this was time to share life and love stories with a person you just met.

"Please…I told you mine…" she pleaded with puppy eyes.

Hansamu sighed at her attempts. "I guess so…to be fair" he a weak smile formed from his lips.

"Well my story isn't as rough as yours…sorry to point that out…but I too face a rocky point in my life" he frowned as he started his story.

"Wait! Before you start let me get something!" she said stopping mid start of his story.

She jumped up and slid the door open and run inside the kitchen. Hansamu waited patiently for her return. Rin came back but only to poke her head out to ask something.

"Where do you keep your popcorn?" she asked sweetly.

Hansamu chuckled "In the storage closet by the refrigerator" he answered.

"Arigato!" she shouted as she poked her head back inside and went to retrieve the popcorn from the storage. She opened a door beside the refrigerator and looked up and down the rows for the bag of unpopped popcorn. When she saw the box, she snatched a packet and closed the door to the storage. She popped the bag inside the microwave for about 3-4 minutes before it finished. When she took it out she looked for the last thing she needed.

"Umm…Han-kun where's the-"

"In the cabinet above the stove" he answered knowing what she was gonna ask.

"Arigato!"

Rin reached for the cabinet door and took out a bowl. She opened the bag of popped popcorn and poured inside. She threw out the empty bag and bounced outside into the porch where she slid the door closed and sat down next to Hansamu ready to listen.

"Done?"

"Hai, continue" she said as she got a handful of popcorn and placed it in her mouth as she waited to listen to the story that was gonna be told to her with open ears.

"As I was saying, my life is rocky but not as rocky as yours….I had a normal life of a boy as I grew up. Parents who were doctors, me a single child that had everything I wanted, spoiled you can say. Top of my grades and looks, I had everything….Yea, I had everything alright all but my parent's love and approval. You see they were always busy, no time for me. So I grew distant with them, so distant that I moved away at age 14 because I got so fed up with them. But the thing is, from being so far I never knew what become of them since. 2 years later at age 16, I found out with a letter of their will of me to inherit their money and belongings that my parents had passed away. Really my father died of cancer to the lungs, but my mother had died from the loneliness. Not having anyone that she loved to be with her. I think she committed suicide, but even then I regretted becoming distant…" he sighed stopping to take a breath.

Rin opened her mouth and whispered "Why?"

Hansamu smiled "Because…if I were there…I could have saved my mother from killing herself…from suffering that loneliness I suffered all these years." He looked up to the heavens. "I live alone in this house by myself as time passes…the only thing keeping me busy is my work of being a doctor. But really I don't feel that way anymore" he brightened up as the sun shine down on them.

"Oh and why's that?"

"Because I know my parents are looking down at me to keep me company from suffering the misery of loneliness, that and you" he grinned looking down to her.

Rin blushed that she could be a reason for keeping him sane.

Hansamu glanced into the sky with the corner of his eyes. "Remember when I bumped into you a couple hours ago?" he asked

Rin nodded at his question.

"I was visiting them…when I heard of their death, I had the morgue send over their ashes to me…there I buried it in an area where they won't be disturbed and I could visit them easily" his eyes twinkled like the stars, but shined like the sun.

Rin smiled and nodded in understanding. She looked down to her feet with her hands still around the bowl that was half empty and on her lap.

"Our situation isn't all too different you know" she looked at him on the corner of her eyes, but keeping her gaze down to the ground.

Hansamu raised his inky black eyebrow in interest.

"We both our parents died yet couldn't say goodbye….leaving us to depress in our pain and loneliness" she whispered.

Hansamu shook his head. "No…you didn't you had friends like that Kagome and Sesshomaru you talked about, to keep you in tact…me I had nothing…well I had money, but what could you do with it" he joked. "Money doesn't buy you happiness, it sure didn't with me" he smirked.

"I guess your right" she grinned looking up into his sapphire eyes.

Hansamu narrowed his eyes. "Sometimes I envy you" he pouted annoyed.

Rin rolled her eyes "What's there to envy? If you're that desperate go buy a dog" she scoffed as she stood up to stretch. She slid open the door once more and went inside. Hansamu tapped his chin thinking about her suggestion.

"Hmm…maybe I will Ri-chan" he said happily as he stood and went inside as well.

"Whatever…you're still a stupid friend" she chuckled as she went into the entertainment room to retrieve their dirty dishes from breakfast.

A/N: How's that? Sighh…I know I'm so late, but I'm tired of writing so late into the night. It's about 1 am here and I just finished thinking it over and writing it down. Lots of sighing going around but that's the problem of depression…they leave you sad and pained. Err…hopefully since the school year is done, I can get another chapter in faster, but that depends on my brain if it's feeling lazy or not. Lol.

Hmm…just to tell you, that story of Hansamu's is not true, but the house is. As it describes, is the house of a friend of my mom's. I really like it and I envy them for having it. Even Hansamu who isn't even real!

Eh, hansamu means handsome and his last name kotaishi means crown prince if you were wondering. HAHAHA I'm so stupid, just because he is handsome and his last name means a crown prince, I had to make a name that means it. Wow, I'm that desperate huh? Tengoku, Rin's last name means Heaven. Yup you guessed right, another desperate name. But with the personalities of Hansamu is of course the personalities of the maker of him, aka me.

Um…I know that Rin and Hansamu just meant and all, so why you ask am I telling each other's lives when they just met? Because it means everything! You will see in the coming chapters what I mean, okay? All part of my plan…sigh…I'm depressed too…COOL! Until then Ja readers!

Fun fact: Tashio means general/leader.

Why did I do this? Well since I'm giving meanings of names, I decided to tell you what it meant…or in other words…I WAS BORED!
