"No." Rin stood in front of a large throne, the gold glistening in the waning moonlight. In said throne sat a tall man, white hair and beard but in no way old. Gold eyes watched the girl with annoyance and a trace of fear. He was ageless yet there was a cruelty about him. He was dressed in a white silk shirt and beige slacks that showed off a muscled figure. He was Zeus, Lord of Olympus and most powerful being in the world.
"I decree it. Other than you, he is the most powerful in the world. I refuse to have such powerful beings that friendly." Rin looked at him, exasperated. This was like the argument to let her lead a normal life all over again.
"As both me and father have told you multiple times, I have no desire to take over the world. I have enough on my plate controlling my own power; I don't want the responsibility to control the entire galaxies. And I'm sure you have already seen that while Sesshomaru wants power, he doesn't want to control the galaxy. I refuse to stop being friends with him just because you're insecure."
Zeus gaped at her for a minute, then snarled, "stop associating with him or I will stop it myself." Rin drew herself up. She'd had enough of this, "Do something about it. I may be god born but I refuse to let my life be led by them. I will be Sesshomaru's friend whether you like it or not. Deal with it."
With that she turned and walked out. Zeus didn't dare throw a lightning bolt at her because star fire tends to be a little stronger than lightning. Once outside Rin turned to make her descent to earth and found her father. Hyperion, Titan of the Sun, leaned casually against a pillar.
Again, like Zeus, he had a timeless aura around him. He had sun bronzed blond hair, like a surfer, blue eyes that could reflect both kindness and defiance, and a tall, muscled body. Unlike Zeus, there was nothing polished about him, dressed in white surfer shorts and a bright blue, gaudy Hawaiian shirt. Yet he was not to be crossed, for he could be just as powerful and dangerous as Zeus.
"You know he's going to make your life hell now." Hyperion matched his daughter's pace as they strode through Olympus, "I know. I can deal with him when he does. But I refuse to stop befriending Sesshomaru just because he's insecure and won't listen to me and you."
Hyperion nodded, "I see your point. He does have a point though. You're the most powerful being on earth and Sesshomaru is right behind you, his father following him. Zeus does have reason to worry."
Pissed because Hyperion did have a point she stopped and turned to him, "but if he watched, actually watched, a day in my life he would see I have enough on my hands with keeping a roof over my head, making sure I have enough energy during the day to keep a rein on my power, and trying to live a normal life.
I don't have time to make friends, plan to take over the world, and do all that. Sesshomaru likes me. For me, not for my school knowledge, not for being pretty, but for me. I refuse to give up my only earth friend because Zeus doesn't know when to look at something."
Hyperion laid a hand on her shoulder, concerned about the tears he saw in her eyes, "you've fallen for him, haven't you?" Rin uttered a low oath and ducked her head. Hyperion just pulled her into a hug and cradled her close.
She sniffled once, but stayed in her father's arms until the fear that she might lose Sesshomaru passed. "Yea. I tried not to, tried almost everything, but I just looked at him one day and… fell."
Hyperion smiled sadly and pulled her back enough to look at her eyes, "if you do truly love him, Zeus won't make it easy. I know you don't chose who to love, but I have to say you have chosen the one person who Zeus will do anything to keep from mating with you. Until his fears are calmed, he will make your life hell."
Rin just chuckled softly and stepped back to wipe the few tears that had fallen away. "Yea, I guess he will. Guess it's a good thing the people who rule hell like me." Hyperion laughed, "good point. Now get back to earth, you're needed."
She smiled and hugged him again, kissed him on the cheek, and stepped over the white stone, stepping from Olympus to earth.
The Trig teacher had mysteriously disappeared so math class had become a study hall until another suitable teacher was found. Sesshomaru moved over to the seat beside Rin, looking at her. She adjusted the shadow spell so she could 'talk' to him.
"So where did you bury the body?" Rin grinned. Sesshomaru was speaking low enough that no one heard him but her, and was barely moving his lips. With his head on his arm, he looked asleep. "His backyard. Decided that the ocean wasn't too original so I decided to be Poeish." Sesshomaru smiled, "nice one.
Nice time of year for it, just as the grounds getting hard and snow is falling." Rin groaned and Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, "you don't like snow?" She shook her head, "I prefer warm, really warm. Winter is my least favorite time of year. Except for hot chocolate." He grinned at that one and decided, since it was December and there was snow on the ground, to get Rin into a snowball fight and see how much she liked snow then. He hadn't had a snowball fight since one time he had accidentally gotten high off of the fumes in his car and decided to pummel Inuyasha with snowballs. Inuyasha still had the scars.
He opened his mouth to say something when something wet touched his nose. Frowning he looked up and saw, with the gasps of his other classmates echoing around him, that it was snowing. Inside. Okaaaay, this was new.
He turned to Rin to see she wasn't shocked but pissed. She uttered a low snarl, got up, and stalked out of the room. Sesshomaru followed her, to find that it was snowing in the hallway to, along with the other classrooms.
"This has something to do with you?" She gave a tight nod. They continued in silence out of the school (everyone was too busy playing with snow, inside, to notice Sesshy leaving. They can't see Rin), and along the street until they got to a park Rin liked.
She sat down and rubbed her temples. Sesshomaru just sat beside her, hesitated, then wrapped an arm around her shoulders since she didn't have a jacket; at least that was what he told himself. Rin leaned into him, using his body heat to keep her warm and his presence to cool her temper.
She knew this was coming, just not so exposing. Zeus knew she hated snow. Not necessarily cold, since Black Inu's were originally from the north, but snow. So he made it fucking snow indoors.
"So are you going to explain or do I get to guess?" She sighed, then signed, "do you remember those celestial beings I mentioned a few days ago?" He nodded, "well I recently pissed one of them off and this is one of his ways of getting back at me.
This is only the beginning." Sesshomaru looked at the top of her head, "so when more weird phenomenon's happen, just blame it on you because you pissed a celestial being off?" She chuckled and nodded.
Sesshomaru shook his head and looked out to watch the white, frozen landscape, "well its adds surprise. Life was getting to boring and some weird happenings will brighten it up." To that Rin laughed. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
