Chapter 1-Two Years Later

Sesshoumaru sat down at his usual table, at his favorite coffeehouse, reading the newspaper. Every now and then he would hear a girl squeal in delight when they caught sight of him. He was a rich, most wanted bachelor. Every girl wanted to date him or get him to commit to marriage. He would date with a girl once, but wouldn't date a girl more than once.

Sesshoumaru knew that some girls fell in love with his looks. Who wouldn't love his long white hair, his pointed ears, and his muscular exterior? His golden eyes showing no emotion, except when a girl was really lucky. He was handsome, but more then half of the girls only loved him for his money. He had dated many gold diggers. Most of them left him alone after he said no to marriage, except for one. Kagura.

Sesshoumaru heard the serving girl come close to his table. "More coffee, decaf." He said picking up his cup and handing it to her.

The girl took his cup and walked off.

He put down his newspaper and sighed. The business section was the same as usual. He folded up the newspaper and put it into his brief case. He looked up and saw the girl coming back.

"Here's your coffee sir." She said. She had shoulder length brown hair and beautiful chocolate-brown eyes. Her figure wasn't as impressive as Kagura's, but for her she looked really beautiful. She confused him. Unlike all other girls, she didn't squeal in delight and ask him out. It looked like she didn't even recognize him.

"Thank you." He replied, finally taking the cup of coffee from her. He had been to busy scanning her.

"Your welcome Takashi Sesshoumaru." She replied.

'So she does know who I am.'

She then walked off. Then he heard her voice. "I'm leaving Miroku-san. My shift is over."

"See you tomorrow, Rin-san."

She walked back past Sesshoumaru with a coat over her shoulders and left the coffeehouse.

'Hmm…she's an interesting one.' Sesshoumaru thought. He then finished his coffee, left his cup on the table, paid his bill, and left for work.


After Rin had left the coffeehouse, she went to the bank and withdrew some money. She wasn't as rich as the rich bachelor, Sesshoumaru, but she did have enough to pay her bills, her rental, and food. She also had enough spending money to wear nice clothes and have some fun.

She also could have worked at a better place then a coffeehouse. She had finished high school and even got a master's degree in Computer Technology. She also had a bachelor's degree in accounting and a certificate as an administrative. She was what some would call a child prodigy. She graduated from High School two years earlier then other kids her age and she whizzed through college.

"Hey Rin, It's been awhile since you've actually come into the bank. It's been like what, two years?" Kohaku said to her with a smile on his face.

Rin stayed quiet and handed him what she wanted him to deposit.

"Why'd you quit? You were the best teller at the bank." He said, trying to make conversation as he deposited Rin's check.

Rin stayed silent as she took the slip from Kohaku's hand and left. Kohaku sighed; she never talked to him anymore. Then he went back to work.

Rin got in her car and drove to her apartment. She walked to her mailbox, got her mail, and then went in her apartment. She sat down and her kitchen table. Her mail mainly was the boring stuff. Bill, bill, bill, credit card, bill, bill, magazine prescription. The usual. Then she came to another one; it was from a place she had sent in an application to work there. She ripped it open and pulled out the letter.

Dear Higurugi Rin,

We are happy to announce that Takashi Sesshoumaru found your credentials acceptable and he would like to have an interview with you tomorrow at 1:00 in his office.

Thank you for your application and your interest in working for Youkai Computer Industries.

Best regards,

Yura 'The Hair' Sugishi

Rin gave a little smile then checked her calendar to see if she had to cancel anything. She didn't have anything on the schedule tomorrow except to visit her ex sister-in-law at 3:00.
