Hello. Goodbye.
I OWN NOTHING.
Rin squealed happily as she ran into her parent's home and hugged her father, Sesshomaru following behind. ''Daddy, I missed you so much!''
''Me too, sweetie,'' Admiral smiled.
''May I have a hug as well?'' A familiar voice came up behind Rin.
Rin turned and her eyes widened at the sight of her Aunt in front of her. ''Auntie, what are you doing here?'' Rin questioned.
''Your husband asked Jihayo for my number and asked me to come down for dinner. Surprised? I'm so happy to see you again!'' Her paternal aunt, Sakura Yamamoto laughed as Rin held onto her tightly before looking back at Sesshomaru.
''I-I can't believe you did that for me.''
''I'd do anything for you,'' Sesshomaru told her. ''I asked Kagome to come visit when I was in town the other day but she said it would be a few weeks before she could make it. She then told me about your aunt and how you two are close so I asked your dad about it and he agreed to have her over this weekend.''
''That's was very nice of you,'' Rin smiled at him.
''I only want to make you happy,'' Sesshomaru smiled back.
''And me, princess? Aren't you going to say anything to me?'' Raven grabbed her daughter's attention.
Rin looked at her mother with indifference and kissed her cheek. ''How are you, mama?''
''I'm very happy to see you looking so happy, so beautiful,'' Raven replied.
''Shall we eat?'' Sakura questioned.
''Yes. Let's go,'' Rin nodded and grabbed her father's hand to lead him into the dining room, leaving Sesshomaru and Raven to themselves.
''I hope you thought about what we talked about the other day,'' Sesshomaru said.
''Yes, of course. I gave it a lot of thought,'' Raven smiled.
''Then you're going to talk with Rin? You're going to tell her the truth?'' Sesshomaru assumed.
''No, Sesshomaru. I decided I won't speak with my daughter, about absolutely anything,'' Raven smirked.
''Ma'am, do you want me to tell your husband everything about the friendship you had with my mother?'' Sesshomaru threatened.
''Let's see if you dare, Sesshomaru,'' Raven retorted.
''Excuse me?'' Sesshomaru questioned.
''Yes, you heard me. I dare you to accuse me to my husband,'' Raven responded. ''In fact, you can go right now if you want, and tell him whatever you want. You can't tell my husband anything, do you know why? Because a shock like that may give him a heart attack, and if Jihayo dies because of you, my daughter will hate you even more. Even more. Shall we go? They're waiting for us. Walk. Let's go, Sesshomaru. Let's go.''
''Inutashio?'' An older woman, named Izayoi Takahashi called out to her husband.
''Yes, dear?'' Her husband, Inutashio Takahashi responded.
''I've been thinking, we haven't heard from either of the boys in a while, let's go visit them, shall we?'' Izayoi suggested.
''That sounds like a great idea. When do you want to go?'' Her husband questioned.
''Congratulations, ma'am. Everything was really delicious,'' Sesshomaru complimented Rin's aunt as they began eating.
''Thank you, Sesshomaru. I had to do my best to please you, but I'm worried because Rin hasn't eaten much,'' Sakura pointed out.
''Sorry, aunt. I must confess that I don't eat as much as I used to, but everything was delicious, I promise,'' Rin assured.
''Sesshomaru, I demand that you take care of my daughter, because I guess that you'll want to have children soon, won't you?'' Admiral suggested.
''That's what I desire most, Father-in-law-to have a child with my wife,'' Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's hand.
''Only one?'' Sakura teased.
''Well, all the children that God sends us,'' Sesshomaru replied.
''Nothing would make me happier than becoming a grandpa,'' Admiral said. ''Don't take too long, time's running out.''
''Oh, dad, there's no hurry,'' Rin removed her hand from Sesshomaru's. ''We just got married.''
''I don't have many years to enjoy a grandchild,'' Rin's father pointed out.
''Yes, Rin. Besides, it's evident that Sesshomaru really wants to become a dad too,'' Sakura joined in.
''You're right, ma'am. I grew up so lonely that I always wanted to have a family,'' Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's hand again.
''Do you have anymore family besides your father, his wife, and your younger brother?'' Sakura asked.
''Not anymore. I did have an uncle on my mother's side but he actually passed away a few months ago,'' Sesshomaru informed.
''He never married?'' Sakura asked.
''He was in a relationship with a woman for many years,'' Sesshomaru locked eyes with Rin's mother. ''A bad woman and it was impossible for them to marry.''
''Why?'' Sakura questioned.
''She was already married,'' Sesshomaru smiled at Rin's mother.
''My God,'' Sakura gasped.
''Yes, this woman took advantage of my uncle because she knew he was lonely and she fooled him to see how much money she could take from him,'' Sesshomaru continued.
''It's incredible to know that there are women with no morals nor decency. What do you think, sister-in-law?'' Sakura asked.
Raven stood up. ''I feel a little indisposed. The food made me sick.''
''That can't be,'' Sakura denied. ''I cooked the chicken breasts with all my love.''
''I just need some air. Can you come with me to the terrace, princess?'' Raven requested.
''Yes, mama,'' Rin threw her napkin down and excused herself.
''Admiral, Miss Sakura, excuse me,'' Sesshomaru followed after the two women.
''Do you want a pill? Or I can tell one of the servants to prepare some tea for you,'' Rin suggested.
''No, thank you, honey. I'm feeling better,'' Raven sighed. ''As we're all here, I want to talk to you about something very delicate. Rin, I think you're being very unfair to your husband.''
''Will you stop interfering with my life, mom?'' Rin pleaded.
''Listen to me,'' Raven snapped. ''Sesshomaru is very sad because you accused him of something you shouldn't have.''
''I see that you two are still in touch and talking behind my back,'' Rin retorted.
''Please, listen to her,'' Sesshomaru responded. ''I'm sure that your mother knows more about what happened to Kuro Gon than you or me.''
''Sesshomaru had nothing to do with that man's death,'' Raven said.
Rin scoffed. ''Oh, mom, I would expect nothing less from you. I knew that you would be on his side.''
''Shut up and listen to me!'' Raven yelled at her daughter. ''It's not easy for me to talk about this. Your brother gave Gon the deed to this house and a promissory note with your dad's forged signature.''
''Yes, I know that, mom,'' Rin replied.
''I went with him to get those documents back. Tohru got very angry because that man gave Sesshomaru the documents. We left, but your brother went back there to complain. Gon took out a gun and was about to kill your brother. What happened after that was an accident. Tohru attacked him and they struggled for the gun and suddenly it fired,'' Rin's mother revealed.
Rin's eyes widened. ''Are you saying that Tohru killed him?''
''No! No way. I'm saying that it was an accident!'' Raven exclaimed.
Rin moved away from her mother. ''And you took advantage of that accident to blame Kohaku? Answer me, mom!''
''No!'' Raven denied. ''That's not true, Rin, I swear. He found the body. The police drew their own conclusions and your brother nor me had anything to do with that! We didn't frame anyone, do you get it?''
''But you remained silent, and that's a way to frame him. You didn't do anything for that man when you knew perfectly well that he was innocent,'' Sesshomaru accused.
''Sorry, but he wasn't so innocent. Kohaku Mai was very dangerous. He killed a navy lieutenant to escape!'' Raven told them.
''What?'' Rin questioned.
Sesshomaru shook his head. ''Don't you realize that you pushed him to do that when you remained silent? You and your son ruined an innocent man's life. You made him become a fugitive, a criminal, and you took him to death.''
''Please. Leave things like this. Kohaku is dead and it's of no use to talk about this. Please, don't. Don't harm my son, Tohru, Sesshomaru!'' Raven begged him before looking back at Rin. ''Your brother changed so much. He's a businessman now. He brings money to help your dad with the house expenses. It was an accident! He isn't capable of hurting anyone. You know him, Rin. Your brother is not a bad person.''
''I can hardly believe what you've done in order to support and protect my brother,'' Rin cried. ''I hope my dad won't ever see you the way I see you now, mom, because it would break his heart and he would die out of sadness.''
''Look, Rin. Everything I have done..was for your own sake. My children. You'll understand me when you become a mother, Rin. You'll see yourself the way you see me,'' Raven warned her daughter and walked back into the house leaving Rin and Sesshomaru alone.
''I must confess that I never expected you to talk to my mother so harshly,'' Rin wiped her tears away.
''You think that we're accomplices in many things, but that's not true, Rin. My only mistake was to make a deal with her, nothing more. Regardless of your history with that man, I admit that what they did to him was unfair, and of course there's one thing that bothers me. After this, I hope that you finally realize that I'm not the monster you thought. I'm not a killer, Rin. But if Kohaku Mai was still alive and he would want to take you away from me, I must confess that I don't know what I would be capable of,'' Sesshomaru admitted and left Rin alone.
Sara hummed to herself as she opened Rin's jewelry box, her make up bag, and then finally her underwear drawer. She smiled as she noticed a black and white bra with matching panties and took them with her.
''Rinny!'' Kagome greeted happily as she came into Rin's parent's home with Naraku right behind her.
''Friend! I'm so glad to see you!'' Rin squealed and pulled her in for a hug.
''Me too,'' Kagome smiled.
''Excuse us, we'll be right outside,'' Rin told Sesshomaru who nodded and was left alone with Naraku after the Admiral went to check on his wife.
Rin and Kagome made it out the front door before Rin broke down. ''Oh, friend. You don't know how lonely I feel. I'm desperate. I swear that I need to talk to someone, because I can't go on like this. I'm sick and tired of feeling confused and doubtful. I haven't found a minute of peace.''
''I can imagine how much you're suffering because of Kohaku's death,'' Kagome assumed.
''Kagome-Sesshomaru is so confusing. I don't-'' ''Kagome!'' Rin was interrupted by Naraku. ''Let's go. We have nothing more to do here.''
''But-'' Kagome tried but Naraku grabbed her arm. ''I'm telling you to go.'' Rin watched in confusion and worry as her friend was forced away by her husband.
''We really had a great time,'' Sesshomaru assured Rin's father and aunt as Rin came back into the house. ''Before we go, I wanted to ask if Miss Sakura would like to come with us back to the ranch and maybe stay a few weeks. Rin would be so happy.''
''Yes, aunt Sakura. Say yes, please,'' Rin pleaded.
''Well, I would be glad to, sweetheart, but not now. I want to stay with my brother for a bit, take care of him, and go to his last health check up with him,'' Sakura said.
''You're so right, aunt, and we have to take care of my daddy to have him for many more years,'' Rin pressed a kiss to her father's cheek.
''But I'll come up there in a few weeks,'' Rin's aunt promised. ''I would love to see your husband's ranch and to spend a long time with you in the countryside, sweetie.''
Rin and Sesshomaru had a quiet but relaxed drive back home, both of them sneaking peaks at the other. When they finally pulled up to the front of the house, Sesshomaru got out and hurried over to Rin's side to help her out of his truck.
''Thank you very much for inviting my aunt to stay here with us,'' Rin was so busy looking at Sesshomaru that she didn't watch her steps well enough and fell into her husband's arms when her heel broke off her shoe.
''Be careful! Are you okay?'' Sesshomaru asked her.
Rin stood up but held onto Sesshomaru. ''Yes, I'm fine, I just..''
''No, I'm afraid you hurt your foot. Excuse me,'' Sesshomaru looked at Rin before picking her up into his arms and carrying her up the front steps. Rin wrapped her arms around his neck, making herself blush in the process, she didn't even notice she was being watched.
''You climbed up all those steps. You're going to hurt your foot now,'' Rin worried.
''Never mind that,'' Sesshomaru dismissed.
''You're overreacting,'' Rin laughed.
''We're almost there,'' Sesshomaru placed her down onto her bed carefully. ''Let's see. Are you really okay?''
''Yes,'' Rin confirmed. ''Look, my heel broke. It's just the shoe.''
''Let me check your ankle to see if it hurts,'' Sesshomaru suggested.
''That isn't necessary,'' Rin reaffirmed. ''I'm perfectly fine. Thank you. I'm tired. Can you leave me alone, please?''
''I hope that you will change your attitude towards me after we have clarified everything,'' Sesshomaru said.
Rin sighed and walked over to the window. ''I'm relieved to know that you had nothing to do with Kuro Gon's and Kohaku's death, but I can't forgive you for making me believe he deceived me.''
''I didn't know that Kohaku existed until I married you and I found out that you wanted to run away with him. You can't reproach me for that,'' Sesshomaru replied.
''I don't believe you, because I saw you with that woman at the cafe. When are you going to admit that you hired her?'' Rin accused.
"What can't you believe me?'' Sesshomaru questioned.
''I ask you the same,'' Rin retorted. ''Why don't you believe me when I tell you that Sara helped me escape?''
''Because that's a lie,'' Sesshomaru insisted.
''Ah, then I'm telling lies and you aren't? You're the one who made a deal with my mom behind my back, and you manipulated me the way you wanted, Sesshomaru,'' Rin reminded him. ''You even dared to talk to me about love, when you were just doing business. So don't tell me that you're an honest man, because you aren't.''
Sesshomaru pulled Rin into his arms. ''This is the only truth I can offer you. I'm in love with you. I'm madly in love with you.'' Sesshomaru leaned into to his wife.
Rin opened her mouth slightly to allow him to kiss her before turning away at the last second. ''Get out of my bedroom. Leave me alone.''
Sesshomaru looked at his wife with desperation before walking out the door.
Rin covered her face with her hands. It seemed that every day that went by, she just got more confused. Rin walked over to her bedroom door and locked it when Kohaku burst in through her window.
Sesshomaru slipped his shirt over his head when he heard Sara come into his room.
''Your wife rejected you again, didn't she? If you let me, I would make you so happy,'' Sara suggested and removed her robe to reveal the underwear set she had taken from Rin's room earlier.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened before he took several steps toward her and picked her robe up off the floor.
''If this happens again, you'll leave this house,'' Sesshomaru warned her and wrapped her robe around her shoulders. ''Get out of my bedroom and don't come in without knocking again.''
Sara's eyes filled with tears and she walked out.
''Are you crazy? How can you come into my room like this?'' Rin questioned but backed away in fear when she noticed the anger on Kohaku's face.
''I saw you. I saw you coming in with him. I saw how he held you and how you got into the house. I'm dying from jealousy!'' Kohaku rubbed his face with his hands to try and calm himself down.
''But that doesn't allow you to come into my bedroom in the middle of the night!'' Rin exclaimed.
''Why did you let him in?'' Kohaku questioned.
''Why? Because he's my husband, the owner of this house,'' Rin reminded. ''I can't forbid him anything. It's you who is out of place here, so please get out the way you came in.''
''Oh yeah? He's your husband? So I have more reasons to stay here. We have to clarify this situation,'' Kohaku sat down on her couch and watched her.
''Fine. I have to tell you something very important, anyway. I was wrong, Kohaku. Sesshomaru had nothing to do with Kuro Gon's death. He didn't accuse you and send you to jail either,'' Rin told him.
''Are you defending him now?'' Kohaku questioned.
''No, no,'' Rin denied. ''I'm just telling you what I've just learned.''
''How did you find out?'' Kohaku asked.
''My mom told me,'' Rin answered.
Kohaku scoffed. ''Your mom..Please, how can you believe her?''
''Lower your voice!'' Rin ordered.
''Rin,'' Kohaku grabbed her hand. ''Don't you realize that they're making up a story before talking to you? Open your eyes, my love. They just want to manipulate you, open your eyes. They want to confuse you-''
''Rin,'' Sesshomaru called from the other side of her door. Rin pushed Kohaku towards her bathroom.
''What is it?'' Rin responded when she opened the door.
''I didn't want to wake you. I thought you were sleeping,'' Sesshomaru said.
''No, not yet,'' Rin shook her head.
''May I come in?'' Sesshomaru asked. Rin reluctantly opened the door wider to allow her husband entrance. ''Why did you lock the door, Rin?''
''Isn't it obvious? I can sleep easier that way,'' Rin replied. ''What do you want, Sesshomaru?''
''Forgive me. I thought that this day would end in a different way, that you and I would finally get closer and..make peace with each other,'' Sesshomaru sighed.
''I'm tired, Sesshomaru. I don't want to keep on fighting. Can we talk about this tomorrow?'' Rin pleaded.
''Sure. Good night,'' Sesshomaru turned away and left her.
''Good night,'' Rin whispered.
Rin waited for him to walk out before running over to lock her door again.
''Go. Go, please,'' Rin pleaded to Kohaku when he came out of her bathroom. ''I don't want you to get me into more trouble.''
''I won't go. We haven't finished talking yet,'' Kohaku grabbed Rin by her forearms and forced her onto the couch.
Sesshomaru headed into the kitchen and made himself a glass of water as Sara came in from the back door.
''What are you doing?'' She asked him.
''I just wanted a glass of water,'' Sesshomaru answered and turned to go back to bed.
''Why didn't you ask me for it?'' Sara questioned.
''I thought you were asleep,'' Sesshomaru shrugged.
''You think I could sleep after what happened?'' Sara retorted. ''I feel so bad, Sesshomaru.''
''You have to understand that I'm a married man now,'' Sesshomaru reminded her.
''Yes, but to a woman who doesn't love you, who will never love you the way I love you, who doesn't feel what I feel when you're close to me,'' Sara whimpered.
''Stop, stop it, Sara,'' Sesshomaru ordered. ''Please, don't hurt yourself anymore. It hurts me to see you like this.''
''And it hurts me more that you keep saying no to this love you need so much,'' Sara cried. ''But it's my fault! If I dared to tell you before, if I had been more direct..everything would be different.''
''Inuyasha told me that he talked to you and offered you a position in the company of Kamakura. Perhaps you should go there for some time,'' Sesshomaru suggested.
''No, please. Don't make me be away from you. I swear-'' ''This can't go on like this.''
''I promise that I won't go on with this, really. Trust me, it won't happen again, don't make me go away from you,'' Sara sobbed.
''Okay, calm down,'' Sesshomaru comforted her. ''Let's forget what happened. I know that you're very confused and it was shocking to see me coming back to the ranch with a wife, but this is my life now and you have to accept it. You can't do anything to change it.'' Sesshomaru grabbed his glass of water from the counter and left.
Sara wiped her tears away. ''Let's see if that's true.''
''You know that I'm right. Your mother and that man are trying to manipulate you the way they want, once again. They're lying to you, Rinny. Trust me,'' Kohaku pleaded with Rin.
Rin looked away from him for a moment. ''Is it true that, when you tried to escape, you killed someone?''
''I am responsible for the death of a navy lieutenant,'' Kohaku panicked when he noticed the fearful look in Rin's eyes. ''Forgive me, but it was our life or his. When he shot Shippo-''
''No, don't tell me anything else,'' Rin covered her ears.
''I don't like it when you look at me like that, like I'm a killer, huh?'' Kohaku sneered.
''I never thought that you would get blood on your hands and be so calm,'' Rin grimaced. ''The Kohaku I used to know would have never done things like that.''
''And I never thought that you would let a man dominate you,'' Kohaku retorted. ''The Rin I used to know wouldn't have done that. She wouldn't have given herself to a man she doesn't love.''
''Do you see how deep down you care?'' Rin pointed out.
''Of course I care, Rinny. Of course I do, that's why..,'' Kohaku clenched in fists in frustration. ''That's why I'm telling you, my love. Sometimes some things happen and they force us to do something we didn't believe we were capable of. That's what I'm telling you.''
''If you had talked to my dad when I asked you, nothing like this would be happening now. We had so many opportunities to be together and we missed them. Now it's late,'' Rin cried.
''For me, it wasn't important to ask your father to let me marry you-'' ''But it was important to me and you didn't care!''
''For me, it's more important what I feel here,'' Kohaku held Rin's hand on his heart. ''Now I'll ask you. Do you prefer to live with a man that you don't love? That's not a life for you.''
Rin scoffed. ''It's not a life for me either, to spend the time running away and being afraid that the police might catch you, or that Sesshomaru might find us wherever we are and to end up living a tragedy. Don't you understand that I only need a little peace? Is it too hard to understand?'' Rin sobbed and climbed onto her bed and sat there before Kohaku sat down in front of her.
''Come with me. Please, I'm begging you. Let's go far away from here-'' ''No, no, I need to think, to think carefully before making any decision.''
Kohaku leaned and pressed his nose to hers before kissing her.
''Your lips..Your lips don't lie. You still love me,'' Kohaku whispered against her lips.
Rin moved back. ''Don't kiss me. Don't you see that you're confusing me more? Please.'' Rin tried to walk away but Kohaku pulled her down so she was hugging his back.
''I'll let you think everything over carefully, but I'll ask you a favor. Don't take too long, because I'm the one who may get hurt,'' Kohaku snarked.
''I'll give you my answer tomorrow, and I'll ask you a favor too. Don't come into my bedroom for any reason again. I forbid it,'' Rin ordered and watched as Kohaku left.
The next morning Rin was applying some lip gloss when she heard a knock on her door.
''Come in,'' She called.
Sayo came in with a tray. ''Oh, you already got up, ma'am. I came to wake you up with this cup of coffee.''
''Thank you very much, Sayo. You can leave the food there and I'll eat in a minute,'' Rin gestured towards her table in front of the couch. ''In the countryside one wants to get up earlier, right?''
''Maybe. Do you know what I think, ma'am? The sadness you felt is going away, and that sadness made you stay in bed all the time,'' Sayo suggested.
''You're right. I don't feel so sad,'' Rin agreed. ''I think I'm getting used to things around here. Did Sesshomaru have breakfast yet?''
''Yes, ma'am, he had it early,'' Sayo answered. ''He went to look over the ranch with the new foreman.''
Rin's eyes widened. ''I see. Uh-It's hot. Too hot. You better tell Sango to prepare some pork loin with a vegetable soup, some rice..What fruit do we have?'' Rin asked as they walked out of her room.
''Mango, plums...'' ''Plum. Oh, plum jam...I remember that when I was a child with my aunt every time we had plums..Oh, I'm so silly. I'm hurting myself by remembering. That's all, Sayo,'' Rin wiped her tears away and let Sayo leave to the kitchen.
''Hello, may I?''
Rin heard Father Jaken come in.
''Of course, Father, this is your house,'' Rin smiled.
''Thank you, dear. How are you?'' Father asked. ''I heard that you went to see your family.''
''Yes, I already miss them,'' Rin replied. ''Did you come to see Sesshomaru?''
''No, I was told that he's looking over the land with the new foreman. I came to see you,'' Father revealed.
Rin nodded. ''Have a seat, please.''
''Thank you,'' Father moved to sit with Rin before looking at her with concern. ''I know that the things between you and your husband are not going the way they're supposed to go between newlyweds, and that worries me a lot. Look, I've known Sesshomaru for his entire life. I know that he's an honest and decent man, and I think you're a good girl too. That's why it hurts me to see that there's no harmony, respect, and the love that must exist between you. Of course, I know that the circumstances that led to your marriage weren't very clear. There were tricks and misunderstandings, but..you're young and I don't see why you can't build a great love and have the marriage that God wants.''
''Did Sesshomaru tell you to talk to me?'' Rin questioned.
''No. No, dear. I'm doing this because I'm a priest, God's servant,'' Father answered. ''But if you can't trust me because I'm a man, then trust me as the priest I am. Wouldn't you like to do that? Wouldn't you like to tell God your sorrows and relieve yourself from your worries?''
''Yes,'' Rin cried.
''The Lord is our comfort, dear. He can guide and enlighten us with his infinite wisdom when we most need him,'' Father comforted her.
''Yes, Father,'' Rin agreed. ''You don't know how hard these days were for me. I need to find the strength to accept it and face everything that will come.''
''Oh, dear. Do you think that your future is so dark?'' Father questioned. ''Okay. Do you want us to talk here?''
''No. No, not here,'' Rin declined. ''We'd better go to the office. But Father, I want to keep it under the seal of confession.''
Father Jaken looked at her with confusion and worry but agreed and followed her into Sesshomaru's office.
''Mom? Dad? Your favorite son came to visit,'' Inuyasha called out into his parent's home until he found a note on the coffee table causing him to hurry back to his truck and drive down to his brother's as fast as he could.
''And that's why you can't love Sesshomaru because of that man Kohaku?'' Father Jaken questioned.
Rin nodded. ''How can I love a man that behaved like that? He surely did those horrible things.''
''No! I can't believe that Sesshomaru was capable of such meanness. I don't believe it at all. I don't believe it and I would put my hands into the fire for him,'' Father exclaimed. ''Sesshomaru has always shown that he's a kind man. He's incapable of lying. He's an upright man. No way. Sesshomaru might be impulsive, proud, and stubborn if he wants, but he is honest.''
''Father, I hear what you say and I don't know what to think,'' Rin whimpered.
''I'm sorry to tell you that his only sin was to make that deal with your mother, but he really regrets it.'' ''But-'' ''But he did it for love, because he loves you. He told me that. Sesshomaru is very much in love with you. Honey, Sesshomaru has suffered a lot. His life wasn't easy at all, and now that he finally found you, it's fair that he has peace and enjoys the happiness of having a family, the happiness you can give him and that he wants to get from you. Forget your anger, honey. Get close to your husband. Trust him. Love him-not because it's your duty as his wife. Do it because you both deserve it.''
''I am so confused, Father,'' Rin choked on her tears. ''All you told me about Sesshomaru, how kind, honest, and sincere he is, is not what I think of him.''
''But that's the truth, and you have to believe me,'' Father told her.
''The problem is that I still love Kohaku, Father. I tried to forget him, but I couldn't. I swear that I tried, but I couldn't, even less now that..'' Rin stopped herself.
''What?'' Father questioned. ''What?''
''I'm afraid to tell you,'' Rin answered.
''Afraid? Of what?'' Father asked.
''That you might betray me,'' Rin answered.
''Me? Betray you, dear? What are you talking about? The seal of confession protects you. You know that I can't tell anyone what we're talking about right now,'' Father reminded.
''Kohaku is here,'' Rin revealed.
''Here? But where?'' Father questioned.
''On the ranch. He's the new foreman.''
TA-DA! What'd ya think? That underwear scene actually happened in the novela. I wrote it exactly how it happened..Reviews people, reviews.
