1A/N: Alright! Scratch the crap that I said earlier.
I'm going to continue writing this story! All my reviewers have motivated me to keep going.
Thanks for loving the story guys. It makes me love you.
Please excuse any misspellings you may encounter in this story, I do not have a beta and my word program isn't the best in finding errors. Hopefully I don't make too many typos for you guys to notice, hehe.
Italics Thoughts
"..." Speaking
Rin couldn't believe her luck. Just one week ago she was scrubbing floors and doing laundry. Now she was organizing Sesshomaru's cases at the firm. She went from jeans and a t-shirt to classy business suits and dresses. Of course Sesshomaru insisted on buying everything she needed. Why, she hadn't a clue. She didn't even know why he wanted her to work for him. Though he wouldn't admit it, it was blandly obvious in his eyes or the way he persisted. Rin sighed and tucked a lock of her dark brown hair behind her ear as she continued file picking, putting the most important cases at the top of the already tower high manila folders.
"Rin." A familiar voice called her name. She looked up from the monstrous stack of folders to find Inuyasha staring at her intently.
"Here we go again."
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"Rin, you should really consider coming back to the apartment. I'll pay you double of what I was paying you before."
She sighed, "Inuyasha, we've been through this billions of times. I work here now. Please-"
"But Rin-"
"Save it, Inuyasha. Rin has already informed you that she does not wish to work at that..."thing" you call home. Get your Kagome wench to clean up the messes you seem to greatly enjoy making." Sesshomaru was standing outside his office, his hands tucked behind his back. His black suit looked even crisper if possible.
Inuyasha and Rin looked at him, Rin in bewilderment, Inuyasha in embarassment.
"Keh, you're an ass." Sesshomaru said or did nothing as his half brother, watching him storm off.
"Thanks, but I could have handled that on my own." Rin stated dryly. She picked up the folders and handed them to Sesshomaru. "Here's your cases for today." He took the folders and cocked an eyebrow at her. "Obviously you couldn't have handled that situation on your own seeing as how I've had to listen to yours and his berating everyday for the past week. Remind me of that next time. Lunch is in 10 minutes." Sesshomaru walked back into his office, closing the door with his foot. It gave a small slam.
Rin winced. Not because of the minor slam but because of his words, the way he said them. It wasn't in a harsh tone that would scare a child, it was extremely calm.
"How could he be so calm when displaying such behavior?"
She sighed and continued working.
-At the Restaurant-
The company limo leisurely pulled into the front of Allegria, a famous Italian restaurant located New York, New York.
Everyone bustled inside, grabbing their reserved table. Rin and Sesshomaru had no choice but to sit next to each other. They avoided looking each other at all costs. Their waiter came buy and handed everyone menus while asking what everyone would like to drink. Rin ordered a sweet martini on the rocks and Sesshomaru ordered a glass of wine. Rin's cinnamon eyes glazed over the menu but nothing on there was registering to her at the moment. She was wondering how she was going to approach apologizing to Sesshomaru.
"He's probably thinking I'm such an ass." Rin sighed. "It's now or never."
"Sess...I hope you don't mind if I call you that." The waiter came back with everyone's drink, placing hers in front of her some-what ruining what she was trying to say. "Thank you." She looked at the waiter a brief moment and smiled before taking the martini in her hand and taking a big gulp of it before placing it down again. By this time, Sesshomaru was staring intently at her. "I'm sorry about earlier, about yelling at you. It's just, I've been on my own ever since I can remember, I mean, I had a family after my mom and dad died, but they weren't really considered with me. So, one day, I just packed my bags and left. It's just so weird when people try to help me." Her cheeks were getting flushed, not only from the little bit of alcohol she had just consumed, but because she just made a confession to someone she barely even knew. She began twirling the olives on the toothpick in her drink around.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at her before speaking, "It is fine, Rin. Do not worry about it. Getting settled into the firm can cause stress. I understand if you want to quit."
"No!" Rin accidentally shouted, causing everyone to look at her. She blushed as they went back to their own personal conversations amongst one another. "I mean, I like it at the firm. I've just never done anything like that before." She continued softer. "My degree isn't in law at all actually. It's in medicine. I'm hoping to become a veterinarian."
"Ah, I see." Sesshomaru reverted his gaze back to the menu. "How old are you, Rin?"
"23. How old are you?" Rin went back to sipping on her martini.
"28." She nearly choked on her drink.
"You're only 28 and you already have your own firm?" She stared at him in disbelief.
He continued looking at the menu as if nothing fazed him. "My father passed it down to me before he died when I was 10. Of course, it was closed down during the time I attended public school, however, he always knew I aspired to be a lawyer, just like him. Following in his foot steps as always."
"I'm sorry to hear about your father." Rin looked down.
"Don't bother being upset, Rin. We've both lost someone, it is the way of life."
After lunch everyone returned to the firm to continue working. The day drawled on slowly, night soon approaching. As everyone started to pack upSesshomaru called Rin into his office. "Have a seat, Rin."
She sat down in one of the black leather chairs facing his desk. She took a look around, never getting enough of how wonderful his office looked and smelled. There was brown coffee table sitting between her and another chair. Pictures from various artists adorned the red walls. His desk was brown, piled high with documents and folders. Her feet felt light against the plushy gray carpet. The brown bookcase stood tall with various works of literature. The room smelled like freshly brewed coffee.
"Rin, this firm holds an annual charity event for children in need of aid. It will be held next Saturday. I regret I didn't inform you sooner, but I will be expecting you to attend. Everyone always does." He started over her from the document he was reading previously. She noticed that he didn't have his jacket on, it was resting behind his chair. His muscles were a bit noticeable through his white business shirt and blue tie.
"Um, sure. Okay. That sounds great. I didn't know we did charitable events. Do I need to bake anything?" She grinned at him.
"If that is what you wish." He stood up and began packing his things into his leather bag. He put his jacket over his shoulder. "Come Rin, it's late. I will give you a ride home." She stood and smiled as he led her out of his office.
