Pity Party
As the bell rang Rin had already settled into her desk. In a dark mood she looked out the
window, not paying attention to her friends chatter. She shouldn't have pushed
Sesshomaru away when he wanted to talk to her, when would she get another chance to?
But her anger at her friends and the rift that had formed between the two lovers made Rin
uneasy to be around him. What has happened to us?
Outside the window the tees swayed in the biting wind and the sky was clouded. Storm
clouds rumbled in and Rin had the uncanny feeling that the weather would not help her
mood.
Silver hair caught her attention as she scanned the school parking lot. It was Sesshomaru.
Why was he skipping school? That was something he never did. But then again, she
thought sadly, I thought I understood him. Whatever he does in his life shouldn't concern
me anymore.

Opening the door to his silver mustang he felt his eyes on her. Looking up into the third
story window her head quickly turned away.
Getting into his car he revved it up and sped away towards downtown Tokyo. He needed
answers, how foolish he was to assume he knew everything a relationship needed. His
father, InuTasho, had always given him advice. And Sesshomaru lived by it.
Stopping his car in the fire lane he confidently got out and walked though the glass doors
of his father's company. Instead of waiting for the elevator to take its sweet time he
opened the stairwell door and started to jog his way to the top.
He was so close to his answers now, but he was afraid how his father would react.
InuTasho had liked Rin the minute he met her, but Sesshomaru bet that his father didn't
want to hear that she was pregnant, not mated to him, and still in high school.
Fighting down the butterflies that he never knew he could get in his stomach he opened
the door to his fathers study.

Rin raised her hand and was dismissed from class so she could use the restroom.
As soon as she was in the hall she started sprinting. Reaching the bathroom door she
threw it open and then slammed open one of the stall doors. Leaning over the toilet she
spilt the contents of her breakfast.
The bathroom door squeaked open and Rin hurriedly locked the stall door. Standing up,
so as not to make the other person wonder, she wiped her face with toilet paper and
flushed the toilet.
Splashing her face with cold water the bathroom door once again squeaked open and in
Kagome ran. The other woman hugged her and stepped back to take a very concerned
look at Rin.
"Baby okay?"
"Shh!" Rin violently thrust her thumb towards the other stall that had an occupant.
Kagome quickly covered her mouth and grabbed Rin's hand, ready to rush her out of the
bathroom.
But the toilet flushed and the stall door opened to reveal Yura with a triumphant smirk of
glee on her face. Waltzing up to her the woman laid her hand on Rin's stomach.
Kagome quickly swatted the unwanted hand away, but it was too late. Yura had already
felt the lump that Rin's stomach had formed a few weeks ago.
"Pregnant? It clearly states in our school's handbook that pregnant women are to be
dismissed upon the knowledge of their pregnancy. Looks like I'll have to report you."
Yura opened the door and ran out before Kagome could get to her.
She sank to the dirty floor as Kagome burst into tears. "It's all my fault! I should have
paid more attention! Because of me you're getting kicked out earlier than any of us
thought you would." Kagome went into hysterics as she went limp on the floor next to
Rin.
"Honey you are my best friend," Rin said comforting Kagome who looked absolutely
miserable. "I will never hate you! I love you, I love all my friends. When they dismiss
me from school I will go with my head held high."
Kagome and Rin embraced as Rin felt the tears start to trickle down her own face. We
are exactly what someone would call a pity party.

His father rubbed his temples, not a good sign. Staring down at his shoes Sesshomaru
felt the silence fuel the butterflies that tumbled throughout his stomach. Say something!
Say anything! Yell at me for kami's sake, just don't be so silent.
InuTasho cleared his throat and his son's head snapped up.
"Marry her. Mark her. Love her."
Relief flooded in at his father's simple words. He approved, no more worrying that I am
doing the wrong thing.
"You approve?" Sesshomaru asked wanting to confirm his thoughts.
"I didn't think I would see my son married in high school, but if this is the time for you to
have a family then so be it. I give you my blessing, my love, and a checking account for
you to start your new life with her. Soon I will have a grandchild I get to love, a brilliant
daughter-in-law, and a son who I hope is happy with his decisions in life. When this
child is born you will inherit my company and I will retire as one of your advisors."
InuTasho chuckled, "I will have an earlier retirement than I thought I would because of
this child, but this could be just another blessing for me."
Sesshomaru stood and held out his hand but InuTasho walked around the mahogany desk
that divided them and drew his oldest son into a fatherly hug.
His voice lowered to a whisper, "Thank you."
"I love my family."
