Hello. It's been a minute. Enjoy. Goodbye.
I OWN NOTHING.
Rin pressed her hand to the side of Sesshomaru's face. ''I can't remember the last time I was this happy.''
''Me either,'' Sesshomaru smirked and touched his lips to her forehead. ''I'm not good enough for you, Rin. What you see here, this is what I am. I'm a simple guy. I'm not the best at showing affection. I like horses, the sea, nature..but mostly, you.''
''Well, I don't need anything else, Sesshomaru. I only need you,'' Rin assured him. ''Tell me what's bothering you so much. What was it you wanted to tell me that was so important? What could change everything between us?''
Sesshomaru grimaced and sat up, in front of the fire he had made for them, letting the blanket fall from his body. ''I hold so much resentment, Rin.''
''For me?'' Rin questioned and leaned over his shoulder.
Sesshomaru shook his head. ''For the people of your social status. I come from a hard-working and generous family.''
''What did the people of my social status do to you?'' Rin answered.
''They took advantage of us,'' Sesshomaru answered. ''My family's suffered a lot due to the abuse at the hands of those people.''
''What'd they do to you?'' Rin questioned.
''I don't want to ruin what's happened between us,'' Sesshomaru responded.
''I noticed your bitterness when you arrived at the ranch,'' Rin told him. ''But just how you showed me that not all men are like the one who took advantage of me, I can tell you that not all high-society people are like the ones who took advantage of your family.''
Sesshomaru turned his body to look at her. ''Forgive me for all the bad times I've put you through.''
''There's no need to apologize. You've just made me the happiest woman in the world,'' Rin smiled.
''You've caught me, Rin,'' Sesshomaru smirked. ''You caught me.''
Rin giggled and leaned up to kiss him as he rolled her under him.
The next morning, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha arrived at the ranch and began to get ready to work.
''Where is Miroku?'' Sesshomaru asked his brother.
''Sango fired him yesterday,'' Inuyasha smirked.
''What for?'' Sesshomaru questioned.
''He forced a kiss on her after she slapped him,'' Inuyasha laughed.
''Oh for fucks sake,'' Sesshomaru growled and went to work.
Rin couldn't erase the smile from her face as she got dressed.
''You sure got in late last night,'' Kagome smirked at her doorway.
Rin smiled. ''Sesshomaru is like the sun. He blinds me. He's so dreamy.''
''Oh, no,'' Kagome gasped. ''You spent the night together!''
''It was the most wonderful experience of my life, little sister!'' Rin laughed.
Late that night, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were getting ready to leave the ranch.
''Have you heard from Miroku yet?'' Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha.
''No but I'm sure he's at home or out looking for another job,'' Inuyasha shrugged. ''Or worse, fooling around with that cabaret singer he's so obsessed with lately.''
Sesshomaru frowned. ''Let's pay her a visit.''
''Miss Rin, you're needed at the stables immediately,'' One of the workers, Kagae Oto told Rin when he found her alone in the kitchen causing her to hurry outside.
Rin grabbed her medical bag that was hanging outside the stables, ran in but found the whole place empty.
''Hello?''
''I sent everyone to circle the fence,'' Naraku appeared behind her. ''I'm the only one who will hear you screaming in pleasure.''
Rin's eyes widened and she tried to back away but Naraku grabbed her and threw her down in a pile of hay. He was on top of her in an instant. ''Let go of me! Please, don't do this, Naraku!''
''You're mine,'' Naraku growled and unbuttoned her pants roughly.
''No!'' Rin struggled as hard as she could until suddenly, she had an idea and stopped fighting.
''That's what I like, my dear,'' Naraku pressed kisses down her neck until he felt something sharp go into his back and screamed. Rin pulled her scalpel out of him and pushed him off of her.
''I hate you! Do you understand me? I hate you!'' Rin shouted at him furiously.
''I only want to love you,'' Naraku groaned.
''Help! Someone, please!'' Rin yelled out.
''What's wrong, Miss Rin?'' Kohaku questioned when he ran in.
''Call an ambulance,'' Rin told him. Kohaku nodded and ran inside the house.
''I can't live without you,'' Naraku said before he passed out.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha walked into the night club that their little brother had been spending all of his time at lately.
''We wanted to see Momo Aya. It's about our brother, Miroku,'' Sesshomaru told the young woman who was cleaning up the bar.
''Momo!'' She called out.
''What is it, Ayame?'' A beautiful woman came up to the bar.
''These guys are here for you,'' Ayame told her. ''They're Miroku's brothers.''
''Did something happen to him?'' Momo asked worriedly.
''That's what we're here to find out,'' Sesshomaru responded.
''Did you see him last night?'' Inuyasha asked her.
''Yes but we didn't spend the night together,'' Momo answered. ''He got into a fight with the manager.''
''Kuro Gon. Her boyfriend,'' Ayame said.
''He is not my boyfriend!'' Momo snapped at her.
''But he thinks he is,'' Ayame reminded her. ''Him and Miroku always get into it over you.''
''He left the bar right after that,'' Momo told them.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha nodded and left.
''This isn't right. Miroku would've at least called so we wouldn't worry, especially after what happened with Sayo,'' Sesshomaru said.
''So what do we do?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''We look for him,'' Sesshomaru answered. ''We won't stop until we find him.''
Early the next morning, Rin brought Naraku home from the hospital and the whole house was tense as they sat down for breakfast.
''Naraku is resting in the guest room upstairs, take him some breakfast, Eri,'' Raven ordered the maid.
''I'm sorry to interrupt, ma'am,'' Izayoi hurried into the dining room. ''The construction workers called. Miroku is in the hospital. It's serious.''
All the girls' eyes widened.
''Miroku? Is he okay?'' Sango was the first to ask.
''What about the others? Are they alright?'' Kagome questioned.
''What happened?'' Rin asked.
''It seems he was attacked. The doctors don't know if Miroku will make it,'' Izayoi informed them. ''I'm going to the hospital because I'm worried.''
''I'm going to the hospital,'' Rin announced but tensed up at the look her mother gave her. ''You want to avoid anymore scandals, don't you? I'll go take care of this with Izayoi.''
''I'll go with you,'' Kagome jumped up.
Sango was going to follow but her mother stopped her. ''You too, Sango?'' Raven questioned.
''N-No. I was just going to go over the reports and finances, as always,'' Sango slowly sat back down beside her mother.
Rin quickly ran into the hospital waiting room and saw Sesshomaru standing against the wall with his head down.
''I'm so sorry, Sesshomaru,'' Rin placed a hand on his shoulder.
''What happened to Miroku, son?'' Izayoi asked him.
''He had been missing for almost two days..ever since he went to that nightclub 'Seventh Heaven','' Sesshomaru explained. ''Late last night, we found him on the street, beaten and practically dead.''
''Oh, don't say that,'' Izayoi gasped. ''Can I see him?''
''Tell them you're a relative,'' Sesshomaru told her.
''Thank you,'' Izayoi smiled and left.
Kagome kept looking back at Inuyasha who was sitting in the corner with his head down until finally she walked carefully and quietly over to him and sat down beside him.
''I'm with you,'' Rin promised Sesshomaru.
''I haven't stopped thinking about you,'' Sesshomaru confessed and pulled her into his arms.
''I know you're probably not doing well, but if it's any comfort, I'm also really worried about him..and you,'' Kagome admitted.
Inuyasha lifted his head to look at her. ''Thank you for worrying about my brother.''
''How are you feeling?'' Kagome asked.
Inuyasha nodded. ''You can imagine. You being here helps.''
''Please be careful. In case whoever hurt Miroku comes back,'' Kagome told him.
''Thanks,'' Inuyasha said.
''Oh, Inuyasha,'' Kagome sighed. ''When times are tough, we all forget about the good things, but I'm here to remind you of them. You're a very special person that can make people around you feel better.'' Kagome unconsciously grabbed his hand and intertwined it with hers. ''I'm sure Miroku knows that too.''
''Thank you for coming to see him. Having you here will be good for him. He'll see how great you are,'' Inuyasha gave her a strained smile.
''Inuyasha..I'm really sorry about what happened to Miroku, but nothing's going to happen between us,'' Kagome replied.
''What do you mean?'' Inuyasha questioned. ''You're beautiful and educated. He'd be a fool not to like you. My brother would be lucky to have you.''
''You really think so?'' Kagome blushed before standing up to avoid Inuyasha's eyes. ''Do you know who beat Miroku up?''
Inuyasha shook his head and stood beside her. ''No. We don't know yet, but as soon as I find out who did it..they'll have me to deal with.''
''What are you going to do?'' Kagome asked him.
''When it comes to protecting what's mine, I'm capable of anything,'' Inuyasha growled and looked deep into Kagome's eyes causing her breathing to slow down. Their lips got closer and closer until...
''Kagome!'' Izayoi yelled at her.
TA-DA! Izayoi is a cock block. Or a kiss block more like it. Not a whole lot happened. The next chapter will be better I think. Reviews people, reviews.
