Chapter 3

Rin fell back onto her couch. She was completely exhausted. After her interview, she went to the mall and did some window-shopping. She bought some things here and there, but mainly it was to help her relax before she was to meet her ex sister-in-law at the food court at 3:00. Then at 2:55 she went to the food court with her few purchases, got some food, and then sat down at a table to eat and to wait for Sango.

At exactly 3:00 she spotted Sango coming towards her with another woman who had black hair and light brown eyes. They sat down at the table and smiled at Rin.

"Rin," Sango said, "I'd like you to meet my good friend Kagome Higurashi Takashi. Kagome, this is my sister-in-law Rin."

"Ex." Rin corrected her then she stuck out her had. Kagome took it and they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you."

"I hope it was all good and not bad," Rin replied.

"It was all good, don't worry."

They sat and talked for an hour about things then Kagome and Sango left because they both had somewhere to be.

Rin then went to the gym. She changed her clothes into the gym clothes that she had bought at the mall that day. She worked out until she couldn't work out anymore. Then she went home, took a shower, and now she was on the couch.

She turned her head toward her clock to see that it was 10:00.

'Time to watch the news, listen to my messages on the answering machine if I have any, then go to bed.' Rin thought. She grabbed her remote and turned on the TV.

After the news was over she went to her answering machine. The number one was blinking. She pushed the play button and listen to her message.

"Ms. Higurugi Rin, This is Sugushi Yura. I'm calling to tell you that you got the job and that you start tomorrow. Mr. Takashi also advised me to tell you not to be late. He expects you to check-in with him at 7:00 AM precisely."

Rin grumbled. She picked up her phone and dialed the number for her boss at the coffeehouse. It rang three times then it was answered.

"Hello?" A droopy voice asked.

"Miroku-san, this is Rin. I got a job so I won't be able to work for you anymore."

"All right Rin, I wish you called earlier though."

"I'm sorry, I didn't find out that I had gotten the job until now."

"Ok. I'll send you your paycheck."

"Thank you for understanding and sorry to wake you."

"No problem…I like getting woke up by pretty ladies."

"You perv. You better not let Sango hear that, it would break her heart. She is so head over heels for you." Rin said, then she hung up and went to bed, forgetting to set her alarm clock.

Rin woke up the next morning and stretched, the sun coming in through her window. She smiled as she saw the sun and turned over to see her alarm clock. It was 8:00. Rin jumped out of bed.

"Oh man, I'm so fired and I haven't even started working. I can't believe I forgot to set my stupid, idiotic alarm clock." Rin said dashing around her room franticly grabbing clothes and getting dressed. She skipped breakfast, brushed her teeth, and ran to her car. She hopped in and tried to start the car, but it wouldn't start.

"Great. If my day is going this bad already, it's going to be a big pain later today." She mumbled to herself as she started running as fast as she could to the building she was to work at. She was halfway there when it started to rain hard.

"What have I done to be punished like this?" She yelled to the sky in frustration. She kept going but then her body started to wear out and she was walking at a very slow pace in exhaustion. By the time she got to Youkai Computer Industries, she was soaked to the bone. She stepped into the building and felt all eyes turn to her. She kept walking like nothing was wrong and that no one was staring at her.

She stepped into the elevator and turned to watch the doors close.

"Bad day, huh?" Shippo said as he pushed the button for the 27th floor.

"You have no idea." Rin grumbled, her eyes flaring with anger.

Shippo winced and went quiet.

When the door opened, Rin stepped out gracefully and walked towards Mr. Takashi's office. She passed Jaken not even noticing him and walked into Mr. Takashi's office.
