Chapter: 9

"Rin, you are late! Mr. Naraku wanted me to tell you that he is disappointed in you and you'll have to pay for your offense. He is waiting for you out back. How could you do somet-"

Rin's hand smacked against the small man's mouth and she rolled her eyes. She was not in the mood. Rin always found Jaken to be annoying, but today he seemed to be more so than normal. She brushed some of her brown hair from her eyes and growled. She didn't want to be there. She was terrified Sesshoumaru might have told something to Naraku and she was afraid of what he was going to do to her.

She looked down at the small man and noticed his face turning blue. She quickly released her hand that was covering his nose and mouth and spat out an apology. "Jaken, have you heard anything strange from Sesshoumaru today?"

"What do you mean? He doesn't say anything to me and if I was ever caught listening to their conversations, I'm sure I would be punished."

Rin nodded making her way towards the back. She could hear Sesshoumaru's yells behind the metal door that lead outside and paused. Smoothing out her clothes, she nervously pushed open the door. Not noticing her sudden appearance, the two continued to argue.

"You don't have the right to decide what is good and bad for the girl. You don't even know if she wants to be with you." Sesshoumaru yelled.

Naraku brushed his fingers through his hair and smirked, "Of course she wants to be with me. What woman in her right mind wouldn't find me attractive?"

Sesshoumaru growled, "You really are a cocky bastard, aren't you?"'

Naraku glared and pushed Sesshoumaru in the chest. "Who the hell do you think you are? What are you? Are you in love with her or something?" Naraku could see the anger that flashed in Sesshoumaru's eyes and he smirked, "You are in love! I've already told you that I'm taking the girl with me once this mission is over. That bitch belongs to me and I'll kill you for even trying to take her away from me," Naraku growled.

Anger filled Rin and she slammed the door hard to make her appearance known. The men jumped in surprised and Naraku walked towards her, "how long have you been there?"

Rin pushed him away and walked towards Sesshoumaru. Her eyes remained cold as she looked directly into his eyes, "I'm here... are you happy?"

Sesshoumaru's mouth twitched slightly and he pushed her out of the way. "I'm warning you Naraku, don't fuck around. We don't have time to waste. We can finish this discussion after the mention. I'm dying to share a few words with you."

Naraku nodded, "Ditto. I'm bursting with excitement."

With that, Sesshoumaru stormed back inside, not sparing Rin or Naraku another look.

"What was that all about?" Rin asked.

Naraku smiled and walked towards her, "What sort of hello was that?"

Rin gave him a confused look, "I'm not following…"

Naraku smirked and pulled her body close. He leaned close to her and Rin put a hand towards his lips. "I don't think so. Look, I think it's about time we get a few things straight. One, I'm not your girlfriend so I would appreciate it if you kept your hands to yourself. Two, I don't know what sort of fantasy you have in your mind but I'm not going anywhere with you after this damn mission. And THREE, if you call me a bitch one more time, Naraku, I swear to the gods I'll kill you."

Naraku laughed and released Rin from his grip. "You're kidding, right?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding? After this mission, I'm leaving this crap show. I thought you guys were going to give me some excitement. The only thing I found here is a headache and more irritation to lat a lifetime," Rin brushed her hands through her hair, "So let's make this fast, okay?"

Naraku stared as Rin turned from him and walked away. He couldn't believe that girl… that BITCH, thought she could say that to him and get away with it. "She obviously doesn't know who she's messing with." He mumbled. "Well, I'm just going to teach the little girl some manners."

"Glad to know you decided to show up. I wouldn't want your boss to get upset because you failed your little mission." Sesshoumaru whispered behind Rin.

She growled lightly and rolled her eyes, "Why don't you kiss my perfect little butt and then go kill yourself?"

"Well, I kissed that pretty little butt more than once and I wouldn't want to do it again because the smell alone made me want to kill myself."

Rin's eyes widened with embarrassment. "You BASTARD!" She screamed pushing a smirking Sesshoumaru away. She glared back at him for a second as a single thought popped into her mind. 'Did he just joke with me?'

Jaken's voice inturrpted them as Naraku entered the room. Rin made eye contact with him for a second before tuning into Jaken's instructions.

"I want you to understand that we have to do everything exactly as planned. If not, we won't be able to get out of there alive. I did all the calculations and discovered that we will have exactly 26 minutes to do everything. We can't waste any time, got it?"

Everyone agreed and Naraku said a few words. Rin looked nervously at Sesshoumaru and an odd thought came to her mind. "What will happen to all of them once this mission is over? Will they get the death penalty if caught?

"RIN!" Naraku yelled, handing her a gun. "Don't space out on the job, understand?" Rin nodded and Naraku finished up his speech.

Sesshoumaru found himself closer to Rin once Naraku and Jaken went to a separate room to talk more about the attempt on Inu-Yasha's life. Sesshoumaru knew Rin did not want to speak to him but he couldn't stay way from her, He gave her but a light pat and smirked, "You're butt looks great in those pants."

"Look asshole," but Sesshoumaru silenced her with his lips. Rin blinked confusingly as Sesshoumaru pulled her closer and forced his tongue into her mouth. Rin couldn't help herself and started to respond to his kisses. Sure he was an ass, but she couldn't deny her body's response to him. Pulling away from her, he gently whispered, "Be careful, please."

Quickly leaving the room, Rin stood stunned as her fingers touched her lips.

Across the room, Naraku witness the entire exchange. He glared as Rin blushed and stared at Sesshoumaru's retreating form.

Naraku's jaw tightened as he stuffed his gun into his belt. Those two were going to pay.
