Chapter 6

Rin walked in to the club and found it full, as usual. It was the best club in town. She walked up to the bar and sat down.

"Ms. Rin. A pleasure to see you. How are you doing these days?" Asked the bartender.

"As okay as can be expected for a divorcee. I'll have the usual."

"Right away Ms. Rin."

"Hey pretty lady," said a guy right beside her. "How about we get to know each other?"

"No thank you sir. I've sworn off men."

"But why would a pretty thing like you do that?"
Rin glared at him with an evil glare. He got up and went away, a look of fear on his face.

"So, you think you can make any girl fall in love with you?" Kouga asked his friend, Sesshoumaru.

"Of course I can, what girl can resist my charms? I could get any girl to wrap around my finger."

"Really? Want to make a bet?"

Sesshoumaru nodded.

"I'll bet 25,000 dollars that you can't make the girl I pick for you to fall in love with you."

"I bet you a partnership with my company that I can."

Kouga nodded. Then started to scan the room for a girl.

Rin was getting annoyed. She came to the club to relax, but instead she was defending herself from guys asking her to dance, or make-out with them. Men, never know when to quit.

Kouga finally spotted a girl. It seemed that she didn't like men. Lots of guys have talked to her, but she just waved them off. 'Oh. She looks difficult, I doubt he'll be able to make her fall in love with him.' He thought.

"Have you found our victim yet?" Sesshoumaru asked, getting annoyed with all the waiting.

"Yes, I have. I bet that you can't make the girl with brown hair at the bar fall in love with you."

Sesshoumaru looked at the bar and found the girl. She looked familiar then she turned just a bit so he could see her face. "Rin Higurugi?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"You know her?" Kouga said astonished.

"She's my new secretary. She's a confusing one."

"What's so confusing about her?"

"When she first saw me while serving my coffee. She didn't fawn over me like the other women. And at the interview, she answered her questions with short answers just like I asked her."

"Well, that's the girl for the bet. Are you going to take it?"

Sesshoumaru nodded then he got up and walked over to the bar.

Rin finally finished off her food. She then sighed. 'Why wouldn't they just leave her alone?' She asked herself, then she felt a tap on her shoulder. ' Here's another one.' She thought while turning around. Then she froze at who it was. It was her boss, Sesshoumaru.

"Good evening, Ms. Higurugi. It's a pleasure to see you here. Are you enjoying yourself?" Sesshoumaru said politely, showing some emotion for the first time in front of her.

"Good evening Mr. Takashi, you can just call me Rin. I don't like going by Ms. Higurugi."

"Ok, Rin. Then you can just call me Sesshoumaru." He replied, sitting down next to her. "So, what brings you here this evening?"

"I thought I'd treat myself to something nice since I had an awful day today." Rin said, shifting uncomfortably.

They sat in silence for awhile. Then the bartender came over to them.

"Would you like anything to drink Mr. Takashi?"

"No, thank you."

"Okay sir, how about you Ms. Rin?"

"Nothing. Thanks for asking."

"It's just my job Ms. Rin."

The bartender walked off.

"Would you like to come meet my friend?" Sesshoumaru asked her.

She thought about it for a bit. Then she gave a little nod. They both stood up and Rin followed Sesshoumaru to his table.

"Rin Higurugi, this is my friend Kouga Wolfe. Kouga Wolfe, this is Rin Higurugi, my secretary."

"Nice to meet you." Kouga said with a nod. "Why don't you join us?"

Rin looked at both men for a moment, then she looked at her watch. "I'm sorry, but it's time I get home. I got to get my sleep so I won't be late to work tomorrow. Thanks for the offer though."

She started to walk off, but then Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm. "Please stay." He asked.

"No, I really got to go. See you at work tomorrow." She said. She shook his hand off her arm. And left. Once she got outside, she hurried to her car and drove for her apartment, not noticing the car that followed her.

Sesshoumaru and Kouga hurried out of the club, after Kouga told an upset Ayame that he'd be back in a bit, and followed Rin. They followed her to her apartment. Then they watched her go inside apartment number 16.

"Nice place." Kouga said. "Now what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find out what I can about her." Sesshoumaru replied then he got out his cell phone and dialed up an old friend of the family. The phone rang twice then it was answered.

"How may I help you?" The voice asked.

"Toutousai, I've called to ask you a favor."

"What favor is that Sesshoumaru?"

"I want you to get all that you can about a Rin Higurugi. I want to know everything about her."

"Why…may I ask?"

"Just do it, will you?"

"Sure…I'll do anything for your family. How's your father doing?"

"Don't know, haven't seen him since he handed the company over to me."

"Oh. Well, I'll do as you ask. It will take awhile. But I'll get it as fast as I can. Nice to hear from you again Sesshoumaru."

"Thank you Toutousai." Sesshoumaru replied and hung up.

Then they drove off. Sesshoumaru going home and Kouga back to the club to spend time with Ayame.
