Hello. Enjoy^^ Goodbye.
I OWN NOTHING.
''This can't happen. What have I done?'' Rin pulled away when she fully comprehended what she was doing.
''You're going to keep denying how you feel?'' Sesshomaru asked her.
''You can't just always follow your feelings!'' Rin exclaimed.
''Why not?'' Sesshomaru questioned. ''Because of a piece of paper that ties you to Naraku Kono, a man who doesn't respect you and mistreats you?''
''He's not the problem. It's me! I can't lie or cheat. I never have,'' Rin told him.
''And I don't want you to,'' Sesshomaru responded. ''Just put aside your fear and live how you want, not how others want.''
''I can't be so selfish as to think only of myself. Doing this while still married is dishonest,'' Rin reminded him.
''So is bearing not being loved,'' Sesshomaru retorted. ''Why do you settle for so little? Why do you live with a man who doesn't love you? Why are you still with a man who doesn't love?''
''You have no right to ask,'' Rin said.
''I've seen you crying because of that bastard,'' Sesshomaru argued. ''It's more than I can bear.''
''Naraku and I argue. Unfortunately, he loses control,'' Rin shrugged.
''Don't excuse him,'' Sesshomaru growled. ''Besides offending you, he tried to force himself on you. He was violent with you.''
''We've been through a lot. You wouldn't understand,'' Rin shook her head and turned to walk away but Sesshomaru grabbed her arm causing her to flinch from the bruise Naraku had given her earlier.
Sesshomaru pulled up the sleeve of her shirt and looked down at the bruise. ''What I don't understand is why a woman would put up with this.''
''Please let me go,'' Rin whimpered. ''It's best you stay out of my life.''
''I'm already in it,'' Sesshomaru reminded her. ''Why can't you admit it?''
''This isn't easy for me!'' Rin exclaimed. ''I'm married! And you're..you're a stranger. This is crazy, and it can't happen.''
''Rin,'' Sesshomaru called for her when she began to walk away.
''No, Sesshomaru,'' Rin cut him off. ''Don't say anything. I can't face all of this right now. I can't.''
Kagome looked out her bedroom window to see Inuyasha leaving with his brothers. She felt tears well up in her eyes when she thought back to the kiss he gave her.
''Bastard,'' Kagome muttered to herself. ''How could you?''
''Honey, what's wrong?'' Kagome heard her grandfather enter her room.
''Grandpa..'' Kagome sniffled through her tears.
''Let me guess the cause of those tears,'' Jaken said. ''I don't think any of your friends are to blame for them because none of them are worth those tears.''
Kagome realized what her grandfather was thinking. ''No. It's not that. I've never been in love before.''
''Are you sure?'' Jaken questioned. ''Those tears aren't because your mother scolded you, or are they?''
''No,'' Kagome shook her head. ''They're because of a jerk that made a fool of me.''
''This flower has bloomed,'' Jaken chuckled. ''Is this the first time you've fallen in love with a man and cried over him? Maybe you have special feelings for that jerk.''
''Yes,'' Kagome admitted. ''I do. Hatred. I hate him. That's all I feel. Hatred. I feel like killing him. I wish a car would hit him. And that he goes to hell..To hell!''
''Come here, dear,'' Jaken laughed.
Kagome felt her tears dry up as her grandfather comforted her.
Rin smiled as she wrapped her robe around her body and thought about Sesshomaru. That kiss was like nothing she had ever experienced. She couldn't give him up. She just couldn't. She had to do something.
Rin's thought's were cut short when Naraku knocked on her door.
''Rin?'' Naraku called out. Rin quickly locked her bedroom door. ''Unlock the door or I'll make a scene.''
''Do it,'' Rin dared him. ''Do it so everyone can find out you drugged me and raped me, you bastard.''
''Fine,'' Naraku snarled. ''I'm going to the guest room, but we will talk about this tomorrow.''
Rin sighed and went to bed.
The next morning, all the workers were helping get the horses ready for transport due to the rodeo Sango was putting together in the memory of her father. Inuyasha was on his way to help out when Sango stopped him.
''You on your way to the stables?'' Sango questioned.
''Yes but I was going to change first,'' Inuyasha told her.
''Can you give me a hand first?'' Sango asked. ''I have to move the beef to the walk-in freezer.''
''Yes, ma'am,'' Inuyasha nodded and followed after her.
Rin had finished getting dressed and was about to go downstairs when Naraku stepped into her room.
''I want to tallk,'' Naraku said.
''What do you want to talk about, Naraku?'' Rin sighed.
''First, I want to be with my wife and sleep with her,'' Naraku responded.
''Forget that. That won't be possible,'' Rin told him.
''I won't put up with this for much longer, Rin,'' Naraku growled. Rin walked downstairs with Naraku following after her. ''I can't live without you.'' Naraku grabbed Rin and forced his lips to hers.
''Good afternoon,'' Sesshomaru interrupted them.
Rin pulled herself free from Naraku's grasp and her eyes widened at Sesshomaru. Her eyes held a silent but desperate explanation.
''You're here, great,'' Naraku grinned.
''You called for him?'' Rin asked.
''Of course. Can you leave us alone for a moment, my love?'' Naraku smirked.
''Fine,'' Rin relented and walked outside.
Rin had to wait a few minutes before Sesshomaru finished with her husband came to the backyard.
''I want to explain-'' ''Don't worry, ma'am. My place in this house was made clear to me, so no need to explain.''
''Please wait,'' Rin pleaded.
''How can I help you?'' Sesshomaru snapped. ''Do you need your employee to move some furniture? What do you need?''
''Please don't be like that with me. I just wanted to say that things aren't always what they seem,'' Rin tried to explain. ''When you walked in and saw me-''
''Kissing your husband?'' Sesshomaru cut her off. ''Something that's completely normal, don't you think?''
''That kiss wasn't what you-'' ''It was a kiss between husband and wife. You have nothing to explain. Excuse me, ma'am.''
''Sesshomaru..'' Rin didn't know what to say to him.
Raven was going through papers in her home office when Rin burst through the door.
''I'm getting a divorce,'' Rin told her.
''What?'' Raven stopped what she was doing. ''I'm sorry, Rin but we've discussed this and-'' ''I won't live with a man I don't love, anymore.''
''Rin, we've talked about this and I told you it was out of the question,'' Raven reminded her. ''So whatever problem you have with your husband, fix it.''
''He drugged me just so he could have sex with me!'' Rin revealed.
''What?'' Raven questioned.
''I wasn't asking for your permission, mama. I'm just letting you know I've made up my mind and I'm leaving now for the lawyer's office,'' Rin said and walked out.
''Rin..Rin wait and I'll go with you!'' Raven quickly followed after her oldest daughter.
Rin and her mother stopped when they found everyone in the kitchen.
''What's going on here?'' Raven asked.
''We can't find Inuyasha and Sango anywhere,'' Izayoi revealed.
''They've got to be on the ranch,'' Rin shrugged.
''We've looked everywhere,'' Izayoi said.
''Inuyasha and I were supposed to meet at the stables to help with the rodeo, but he never showed up,'' Kohaku informed them.
''Sango said she was going to get the beef they had just slaughtered,'' Jaken voiced.
''B-But..I don't understand. What does your brother have to do with this?'' Raven questioned Sesshomaru and Miroku. ''Where is my daughter?''
''Ma'am, where do you store the beef?'' Sesshomaru asked.
''In the walk-in freezer,'' Rin answered him before her eyes widened.
''Oh! I saw the door open and I closed it because I thought someone had accidentally left it open,'' A maid, Ayumi confessed.
''Oh my God!'' Raven exclaimed and everyone ran outside to the freezer room. ''My baby!'' Raven cried when they opened the door and found Sango in Inuyasha's arms, them both unconscious.
''Miroku, get her and follow me!'' Rin instructed and helped Sesshomaru pull Inuyasha up so he could carry him.
''I've got you little brother,'' Sesshomaru promised.
Miroku set Sango down in a warm bath and stayed for Rin's instructions while her mother called for an ambulance and made some hot tea.
''Miroku, come here and help me hold her up,'' Rin instructed. ''We need to undress her.''
Miroku froze. ''What did you say?''
''You heard me! Come here and hold her up,'' Rin ordered and moved to take off her sister's shirt. ''I have to go get Izayoi. Don't let her head go under.''
Sango began to wake up just as Rin left. ''Where am I?''
''Try not to move. You're still very weak,'' Miroku told her.
''What are you doing here, Miroku?'' Sango asked and looked down to find her state of undress. ''What did you do to me? You undressed me, you pervert! What's wrong with you?''
''No, no, no..well, yes,'' Miroku admitted. ''But please don't move. You're going to get worse.''
''Get out. Get out, get out!'' Sango cried.
''Your sister, Rin asked me to help you. You were practically dead when we found you,'' Miroku explained.
''Get out,'' Sango whimpered.
''Miroku, please make sure they're doing the same to your brother,'' Rin instructed Miroku and got in the tub with her sister to help her drink her tea. ''Easy..He was just helping us save your life. He was helping us. Have some tea.''
''How's Sango?'' Inuyasha asked when he came to.
''I heard she was okay, but I care about you,'' Sesshomaru sighed. ''How are you feeling?''
''I feel like I'm coming back to life,'' Inuyasha gave a weak chuckle and looked at the doorway. ''And now for a little heat..''
''Izayoi made him something hot to drink,'' Kagome walked in. ''Rin says he has to drink it to increase his body temperature.''
''Thank you,'' Sesshomaru went to take the cup from her but she backed away.
''You should go prepare the bed for him,'' Kagome told him. ''We must get him out of here and cover him up with blankets.'' Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha who grinned at him and nodded. ''I'm only here because everyone else is busy with Sango. Drink this. It doesn't matter though because only the good die young.''
''If I die, I'd die happy because the most beautiful girl in the world is kneeling before me,'' Inuyasha smirked.
''Don't be a clown! Drink it,'' Kagome handed the cup over for him to take but he grabbed her hand instead and held the cup to his lips while looking Kagome in the eyes.
''How could this have happened, Inuyasha?'' Sesshomaru asked his brother once they got him in bed and they were alone. ''You nearly froze to death.''
''Well, at least it gave me a chance to be close to Sango. That woman is so cold. But it was a great step in our plan,'' Inuyasha shrugged.
''Our plan won't work if you keep trying to seduce all the Higurashi sisters,'' Miroku retorted.
''What do you mean?'' Sesshomaru questioned.
''This guy has been going after Kagome this whole time. I heard it from one of the guys in the stables. That kiss you forced on her wasn't very discreet,'' Miroku sneered.
''What is wrong with you, idiot?'' Sesshomaru growled.
''Hey..first of all, tone it down. I'm not well,'' Inuyasha fake coughed. ''Second, why are you taking it so seriously? The point is to make fools of them.''
''Yeah. Sure. Keep screwing it up so they find us out,'' Miroku told him.
''Izayoi? Everyone has gone to bed and Inuyasha and Sango are doing much bettter. Thanks for your help,'' Rin smiled.
''I'm so glad, my dear. I think of you girls as my own children and I would die if anything happened to any of you,'' Izayoi admitted.
''Nana, didn't you ever want children of your own or a husband?'' Rin questioned.
Izayoi froze. ''I'm..content. I was in love once and I had planned on marrying him but..it just wasn't meant to me I guess.''
''What happened?'' Rin asked.
''Life,'' Izayoi sighed. ''I still do love him. Very, very much. And then I found out he died some time ago.''
Rin gasped. ''Oh, nana.''
''I am fine, honey. You just make sure you follow your heart,'' Izayoi smiled.
''I've already started,'' Rin confessed. ''I filed for divorce. I just finished telling Naraku. He got furious and then left the house with his suitcase. I'll finally be happy.''
Sesshomaru was watching over his brother alone, trying to fight the urge not to go upstairs and see the person he was dying for. He lost that fight. As soon as Sesshomaru walked out of the room, another person walked in it.
Kagome silently tiptoed towards the bed. She looked down at Inuyasha's sleeping face for a moment before pulling the covers of him. When she got ready to leave, a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her down.
''Where are you going, doll?'' Inuyasha grinned from under Kagome.
Sesshomaru walked up the stairs, making sure no one saw him until he got to the door that held what he needed and opened it.
Rin's eyes widened and her heart started beating faster when she saw Sesshomaru step into her room. ''Sesshomaru..What are you doing in here? Sesshomaru, if someone sees you in here, you'll get in trouble. Please, go.''
''I know. I tried to stop myself, but I couldn't. This is stronger than I am,'' Sesshomaru admitted.
''Naraku just left. Why did he take his bags with him?'' Sesshomaru asked.
''Because I filed for divorce,'' Rin told him. ''I spoke to my lawyer and I've made up my mind.''
''Are you being serious?'' Sesshomaru questioned.
''Yes, Sesshomaru. Please. I just started to come to terms with the idea. Don't pressure me. I need some time,'' Rin pleaded.
''Rin, you're asking for too much,'' Sesshomaru groaned. ''Fine. If that's what you need, I'll wait for you.'' Sesshomaru began to walk out until he looked back and saw Rin watching him. He grabbed her waist and pressed his lips to hers in a deep kiss causing Rin to wrap her arms around his neck and happily returned it.
''Let go of me! How dare you feel me up?'' Kagome exclaimed.
''I'm not feeling you up yet. Leaving so soon? You were the one who came in,'' Inuyasha reminded her. ''You were all over me.''
''You're crazy! I wasn't even close to you,'' Kagome denied.
''I didn't have to strain myself to catch you,'' Inuyasha pointed out. ''Explain. What do you want?''
''Inuyasha, you're sick. I came to check up on you and see if you needed anything but now I'm leaving. Let go!'' Kagome struggled.
''I do need something,'' Inuyasha smirked.
''What?'' Kagome asked and squealed when Inuyasha rolled her under him. ''Let go of me! What are you doing? Let go of me! Take your hands off me!''
''You know what I need? Some healing kisses from that cute little mouth of yours,'' Inuyasha whispered in her ear.
''Don't you dare! Let go of-'' Kagome was cut off when Inuyasha planted his lips on hers, intertwining their hands together.
