CHAPTER 2
Sesshoumaru and Kagura had a good time together after they left Rin. They had talked about there past and favorite things. Sesshoumaru ignored all the other women wanting to spend time with him and paid attention to Kagura. When they heard someone scream, they looked over like everyone else and Kagura saw that Rin was over there.
"Oh, how rude of me," Kagura said. "I left Rin all alone. Thank you for you time, Sesshoumaru. I've enjoyed every minute of it. But I did promise my friend I'd spend some time with her."
"Before you go. Will you dance with me later this evening?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I'd love too." Kagura replied and went off looking for Rin.
Sesshoumaru watched her walk off. No other woman has affected me like this before. I'll need to get to know more about her. Sesshoumaru spotted Rin. There is her friend. Maybe I'll ask her about Kagura. He walked over to her.
"Miss Rin." Sesshoumaru said tapping her on the shoulder.
Rin turned around. "Lord Sesshoumaru." She said.
"I've heard from Kagura that you are her best friend. I was wondering if I could ask you a favor."
"Yes, I am Kagura's best friend. I'll be glad to help you."
"Could you tell me more about Kagura?"
"You're that interested, huh? I'd be glad to help out a friend. I mean…I'd be glad to help you. What do you want to know?"
"I'll ask later." Sesshoumaru said spotting Kagura. "You said you worked here as a maid…well I'll ask you sometime in the future. Now will you excuse me? I best be getting back to my guests."
Rin nodded and watched him leave. She sighed. Stop that. Kagura liked him first. Rin chided herself as Kagura came up.
"Hey…sorry that I left you earlier." Kagura said apologetically.
"No…it was fine. I expected that. So how'd it go?"
"Well, we talked and I flirted. He wants to dance with me later."
"Good for you. Let's find a seat for the banquet."
The dinner was really delicious. It was probably the best Rin had ever tasted. She was now sitting on the side of the dance floor watching Kagura dance with Sesshoumaru. Am I doing the right thing? Rin asked herself. Of course I am. I promised I'd help Kagura get Sesshoumaru. Then why do I feel so badly?
Rin didn't get a chance to answer that when a guy came up to her and asked her to dance.
Once she was on the dance floor, she forgot all of her worries and enjoyed the dance.
"What's your name?" asked the guy she was dancing with.
"My name is Rin."
"My name is Naraku."
Rin gave a false smile. "Nice to meet you, Naraku-sama."
"Pleasure is all mine, Rin-san. Though, you don't have to be formal."
"Sorry, I'm used to it, being a maid and all."
"What? A pretty flower like you? Never. I'd have sworn you were a Lady."
"Thank you kindly." Rin replied as she looked over at Sesshoumaru and Kagura, which apparently they were having a good time.
"Jealous I see." Naraku said looking over to where she was looking.
"Jealous?" Rin said surprised. If he could see that, so would Kagura. "No I'm not jealous. She's my best friend. I helped her to where she is at."
"Oh I see." Naraku said as the music ended. "Thank you for the dance."
Rin nodded and watched Naraku walk of.
Rin walked over to where she was sitting earlier and sat back down. She sat there the rest of the time.
Kagura was so love struck, she forgot about Rin and went home without her.
Rin looked around for Kagura but didn't see her. She got up and sighed, she must have forgotten about me. She started to the door.
"Thank you for coming." Lady Izayoi was saying to their guests as they left.
"Lady Izayoi?" Rin asked.
"Yes, Rin?"
"When would you like me to be here tomorrow."
"Could you possibly be here at seven?"
"Sure."
"I'll need you to help me clean up from tonight before that most remarkable women who was dancing with my step-son comes."
"And…what time is she coming?"
"Around eight."
Rin nodded and walked off.
"Where have you been?" Kagura asked as soon as Rin came in the house.
"I barely just left the party."
"Oh…I'm so sorry. I was so caught up with my thoughts about Sesshoumaru that I forgot. Could you please forgive me?"
Rin nodded. "So…how'd it go between you?"
"It was perfect. He invited me back to his house tomorrow. I seriously think he loves me."
"Isn't it a little early?"
Kagura looked at Rin. "Are you jealous?"
Rin eyes widened. "No…of course not. He's been rightfully yours since the day you saved me from those bandits. Anyways, I danced some tonight." Rin changed the subject.
"I saw him. So what's his name?"
"Naraku." Rin said off handedly.
"Do you like him?"
"No, just another one of those dipsticks wanting to be with me cause I'm pretty. He was just like the rest of them. I don't want to talk about it right now. I'm tired and I'm going to bed."
"All right. Good night."
Rin walked to her room and closed the door.
Sesshoumaru laid down on his bed. He tried to go to sleep, but he couldn't get his mind of Kagura. No…wait…it was Rin's face that kept popping into his head. Why am I thinking about her? I spent like two seconds with her. He thought. He should be thinking about Kagura. They were so perfect for each other. Maybe too perfect, came another voice into his head. Sesshoumaru growled. This was not what he wanted to happen tonight.
