Find My Way Back
Ch. 3- Once Again
"So, who's this girl Kohaku's meeting with?" A girl with gorgeous long chestnut hair asked Sango. Her blue eyes sparkled as the question left her lips. Sango smiled.
"She's an old friend of his from back when he lived with his adopted father." A boy with brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair walked up behind the girl.
"What about me and my friend?" He asked wrapping an arm around the girl's waist. She turned around in his arms to face him.
"Kohaku-kun!" She shouted, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him lightly. He smiled and returned the kiss.
"Oren… san" He mumbled against her lips. Sango rolled and eyes and groaned.
"Can't you two be romantic somewhere ELSE!" She shrieked as her hand flew behind her and met with the flesh of Miroku. "Stupid horndog! Can't you keep your hands to yourself once in a while!"
Miroku rubbed the red mark on his cheek and smiled. "But, Sango, now that we're married, we should at least be a bit more…" He ran his hand down her thigh. "Intimate…" Sango blushed madly and slapped him again.
Oren took Kohaku's hand and led him out of the kitchen. "So, Kohaku, who is this girl coming to meet you?" She asked, pinning him against the wall.
"Girl?" Kohaku asked. "What girl?" Oren rolled her eyes.
"The one from Kyoto…" Kohaku gasped. 'Rin? Here? She's here?' "Shit…" He whispered grabbing his head in frustration and running into the hall. "Kohaku!" Oren called.
"Oh, good!" Sango said into the phone, before clicking it off. "Alright, Kohaku, she's here!"
Sango received no response. "Kooohaakuu?" She called searching the halls.
"Tell her to leave." Kohaku said, sitting on her bed. Sango rushed over to him and sat beside him.
"Kohaku? What… why would I do that?" She asked. "What's wrong?" Sango began to pat his back.
"I… can't see her." He said hanging his head.
"What?" Sango asked. "Why!" Her voice became stern ad she looked to him for answers.
Kohaku rolled his eyes. "She's my ex… and I might have possibly made a promise to her… when we were little." He looked back up at Sango to see her rubbing the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"She'll want to be with me… but she can't because I have Oren." Sango shook her head.
"Well… we'll have to get rid of Oren for a bit, and maybe you just need to tell Rin to her face." Sango suggested.
Kohaku sighed. "We can't get rid of Oren…"
Sango gave him a questioning look. "Why?"
Kohaku mouthed the word 'Because…' Sango seemed to understand and nodded.
"Well, you can do it after Rin leaves… she's here right now." Sango stood and grabbed Kohaku's hand, trying to pull him up from the bed. "At least go greet her… she came all this way for you."
Kohaku stood and followed his sister into the living room where Miroku was standing. "Hey, squirt." He said pretending to punch Kohaku. Kohaku shot him a dry look and ignored him.
And then the doorbell rang.
Sango squealed with delight and opened the door to see Kagome standing there with a white haired, dog-eared… person and a girl about Kagome's age. Sango hugged Kagome and led them in.
"It smells like shit in here!" Inuyasha shouted as a cat-like smell went through his nostrils.
"Hi… Inuyasha." Kohaku said awkwardly. Inuyasha cocked his head to the side.
"Yeah, hi." Inuyasha grumbled and took a seat on Sango's couch. Kohaku went back into the bedroom after that. 'I can't see her… if Inuyasha's changed this much…'
"Yes, um… make yourselves at home!" Sango said cheerfully as Kagome and Rin stepped inside.
"Wow… you guys have a big house." Rin said gawking at the huge staircase and high ceilings. Kagome clapped her hands together. "So! Where is Kohaku?" She asked. Sango looked around.
"Kohaku!" She shouted running back into the bedroom.
"Something wrong?" Rin asked. Miroku shook his head.
"Nope, Kohaku's just getting… cold feet." Kagome glared at him.
"Cold… feet?" Rin asked confused.
"Kohaku!" Sango said opening the door. "What is your problem?" She asked bitterly.
"I can't… what if she hates me for doing that? What will she do?" He asked.
"It's not like a guarantee that you won't still like her, too, Kohaku." He rolled his eyes.
"Please, I'm in love with Oren. And when you're in love… nothing else seems to even be the slightest bit attractive." He said, trying to sound 'as a matter of fact' ish.
"Okay, let the 18 year old give me lessons on love." Sango said standing up. "Now, come on… time to go at least say hi."
Kohaku reluctantly stood and followed his sister out.
Once they got outside, in the living room, Kohaku was astonished at what he saw. Oren was… talking to some gorgeous girl. Stunning. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Oh, Kohaku-kun!" Oren said noticing he was there. "Oren-san…" Kohaku said still gawking at Rin.
"Kohaku?" Rin asked turning to look at him. Kohaku quickly averted his eyes. Rin giggled. "Kohaku-kun!" She shouted running up to him and hugging him.
"Hey, Rin." He managed to breathe out. He felt something… mushy against his chest. 'Mushy… like…' Looking down he noticed them. Two actual boobs… on Rin! 'Oh God…' He thought feeling his face getting hot.
Oren put a hand on her hips and smiled.
"So, this was your friend, huh?" She asked as Rin let go of Kohaku.
'Please agree, please agree, please agree, Rin…' He begged silently.
"Oh, yeah! We were like best friends when we were little." Rin said, slightly hurt by what was coming out of her mouth.
"Oh, well, it's awesome to meet you!" Oren said happily.
Kagome smiled and walked out of the kitchen. "Okay, Sango… I can't cook today. Can we just go out to eat?" She asked pathetically.
Inuyasha started laughing. "Yeah, figures the wench can't do anything right."
Kagome angrily groaned and threw off her apron. Sango ran and put a hand on her shoulder. "Yes, we'll go out to eat."
After dinner, Kagome took Rin and Inuyasha back to her house. "It's getting late guys, so… I'm going to hit the hay."
"Oh, Kagome-sama?" Rin asked. Kagome turned and faced her. "That girl… Oren… she's Kohaku's…"
"As of tonight, she's Kohaku's fiancée." Rin nodded slowly.
"What exactly are you to Kohaku? Or, what were you?" Kagome asked sitting beside Rin on her bed.
"Well, when we were younger… I was his girlfriend. And he promised me that he would marry me when we turned 18, after he moved away with Sango."
Kagome looked down at the ground. "So, you waited 4 years for him?"
Rin nodded meekly. "I haven't kissed, hugged, or even thought romantically about anyone other than him… ever."
"Rin-chan…" Kagome said, taking the girl in her arms. "I'm so sorry, sweetie."
Rin shook her head and smiled. "Don't be. He's happy now, right? That's all that matters to me. And, I can still be his friend."
'She's so optimistic… how?' Kagome smiled and patted her back before standing up. "Good night, Rin-chan!" She said before turning out her light.
Kagome closed her door and saw Inuyasha staring at her. "Ugh, what do you want?"
"Nothing you can give. Just to tell my niece good night." He snorted.
"Well, then go do it. I'm going to bed. Your room is across the hall from hers…" Kagome said stepping out of his way.
"Oh, and wench…" Kagome rolled her eyes and turned back to face him.
"I'm sorry to have angered you, today… I guess…" He said awkwardly.
Rin listened to the conversation outside her door and smiled. 'Way to go, Uncle Yasha!' she thought.
"Did Rin tell you to say that?" Kagome asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Inuyasha said avoiding her eyes. Kagome sighed.
'Stupid Inuyasha!' Rin shouted in her mind.
"Good night, Inuyasha." She said walking away.
"Good night, Kagome." He said quietly before going to his own room.

(Hybrid Koneko does not own Inuyasha or any of the Inuyasha characters. In a sense, I don't even own this story. The idea came to me for a lot of reasons. It's a bit of a mix between shows… you'll see)
