Hello. Goodbye.
NOTE: DUBIOUS CONSENT IN THIS CHAPTER. You'll know it's coming when it is coming if you know what I mean.
I OWN NOTHING.
''Rin, do you realize what you just said?'' Kagome questioned with excitement.
''Sometimes, Sesshomaru can be so sweet. Other times, when I hear him speak, I just stand there, looking at him, feeling-how much I admire him,'' Rin confessed. ''But those are just moments. They don't last forever, because most of the time we don't listen to one another. And if we do, we end up fighting, we throw insults at each other, and everything goes back to being the same or worse than before.''
''Yes, but what matters is that what you feel for him is already changing,'' Kagome reminded her.
''I guess so,'' Rin replied but started to cry. ''I'll never love him like I loved Kohaku. It's impossible for someone to fall in love again so intensely. Especially with Sesshomaru.''
''Friend, before, you couldn't love him even a little,'' Kagome pointed out. ''And now you see.''
''What good is it for me to love him, when deep inside I know that I'll never be able to forgive him for buying me as if I were a thing, an object. And I'm also sure Sesshomaru will never forgive me for trying to run away with Kohaku the day of our wedding,'' Rin whimpered.
''Love forgives everything,'' Kagome said.
''Those phrases sounded very nice when you and I were in school and dreamt of the day we'd get married with the perfect man,'' Rin cried. ''You remember? And look at us now. Look. Look at our reality the one we're really living.''
''All our dreams became nightmares,'' Kagome closed her eyes to let her tears flow out.
''What's going on in here?'' Sakura questioned as she came into Rin's room.
''Kohaku left,'' Rin sighed.
''Thank God!'' Sakura exclaimed causing Rin to glare at her. ''What?''
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were coming out of his office when Sara stopped them.
''What do you think? How do I look?'' Sara asked as she dressed up for dinner.
''What do you think, Inuyasha?'' Sesshomaru deferred to his brother.
''You look nice, Sara,'' Inuyasha complimented.
''Excuse me,'' Sesshomaru said and walked off.
''Of course,'' Inuyasha replied. ''It's nice to see you, Sara.''
''Really?'' Sara questioned. Inuyasha nodded. ''I don't believe you. Before, when you arrived here, I was the first person you went looking for. Now, you've already been here all day and I haven't seen you. You don't care about me anymore?'' Sara wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck and pulled him close.
''No, no, no. I care about you,'' Inuyasha pulled her off of him. ''But now I understand that you don't care about me. Let's be honest, Sara. You'll never be with me. The best I can do is move on and stop looking for you.''
''Is that way you came with that woman?'' Sara questioned. ''Is she your girlfriend?''
''No, no. Momo is here because Sesshomaru needed to talk to her,'' Inuyasha explained.
''About what?'' Sara asked.
''Well, about things..that aren't your business,'' Inuyasha smiled.
''Look at that. You're rude now,'' Sara sneered.
''Excuse me,'' Inuyasha chuckled and walked away from her.
''Are you crazy, Rin?'' Sakura questioned her niece. ''Instead of jumping for joy because that man finally left, you're crying your eyes out, baby.''
''What can I do not to feel? Not to feel anything, aunt? What do I do?'' Rin questioned. ''I'll never see him again.''
''Wasn't that what you wanted? Oh, look my pretty girl,'' Sakura went to the couch where Rin was sitting and sat down. ''It was a blessing from heaven that Captain Midoriya came. This way, finally that man had to go, and the temptation is over. You'll see that in a few days you'll forget that madness. It's time you paid attention to your husband, for God's sake. Wipe those tears, honey. And touch up your makeup. There are guests at the ranch. We have to go to dinner.''
Sesshomaru, Rin, Sakura, Kagome, Inuyasha, Momo, Sara, and the Michis which included Haiga, his wife; Kata, and their two daughters; Julia and Mayu were all gathered around the dining room table for dinner.
''Cheers,'' Sesshomaru held up his wine glass and everyone else followed. ''Cheers.''
''Tell me, what do you do, Momo?'' Kata asked.
''I'm a dancer,'' Momo answered.
''Oh, you don't say. Ballet?'' Kata assumed.
''No, I dance to entertain men at a place in Kamakura. It's called ''Seventh Heaven''. But you can rest easy, because I've never seen your husband there,'' Momo smiled.
''Will you take me some day?'' Julia requested. ''I'd love to dance somewhere like that at least once.''
''Julia, behave,'' Haiga ordered his daughter.
''Dad! It's not on my list, but I do want to do it before I die,'' Julia shrugged.
''Julia, I forbid you to talk like that, like some vulgar woman,'' Kata told her.
''Child, you have your whole life ahead of you,'' Sakura commented.
''That's not what my oncologist says, ma'am,'' Julia smiled.
''There's no doubt we're at a very eclectic table. We have the Captain of the navy, the wife of the mayor, an-exotic dancer, and this woman here, served us a while ago,'' Kata sneered. ''And of course, the worker who used to clean the stables when we visited.''
''Of course,'' Sesshomaru smirked.
Rin narrowed her eyes at Kata.
''Thanks again for having us,'' Haiga said to Rin while they were in front of the house.
''Of course. My husband was sorry he couldn't see you off but-but our foreman is apparently missing,'' Rin shrugged.
''I understand. It's no bother. Let's go ladies,'' Haiga gestured for his wife and daughters to go to his van.
''Actually, if you wouldn't mind, could I speak to your wife for just a moment alone,'' Rin requested.
''Sure. I'll wait for you, dear,'' Haiga told his wife and went to the car with his daughters.
''Kata, is it? The next time my husband is kind enough to invite you to our home, don't you dare insult him or the guests we choose to have, because I'm not as kind as he is. Is that clear?'' Rin hissed.
''Of course, Mrs. Takashi,'' Kata seethed.
Rin watched the Michis leave.
'Who are you to judge after the way you treated him, Rin? He must hate me. He should hate.'
Rin sighed and went back up the steps of the house.
Early the next day Kagome was walking around the house by herself since Rin hadn't woken up yet.
''Hello,'' Inuyasha greeted her from behind.
''Good morning,'' Kagome responded but didn't look at him.
''Kagome,'' Inuyasha got in front of her. ''I want to apologize for the way I acted towards you that time we met in the restaurant in Kamakura. I'm very sorry I judged you. And I truly want you to forgive me and let me be your friend.''
Kagome looked up at him.
A little later that morning, Rin was getting dressed after she woke up when Momo suddenly came into her room.
''What are you doing here?'' Rin questioned.
''We need to talk. There are a few things I couldn't tell you in front of your husband because it would cause you trouble,'' Momo said.
''What are you talking about?'' Rin questioned.
''I know Kohaku is here,'' Momo revealed.
''So you do know him!'' Rin exclaimed.
''Yes, I know both of them, him and Shippo, I met them after I helped your brother make up that story about him,'' Momo explained.
Rin sighed. ''There's no point in talking about that anymore, Momo. Neither of them are here anymore. Kohaku is gone forever.''
''No, no, Kohaku is hiding closer than you think, and he's waiting for you,'' Momo assured her. ''I could help you if you want and you could elope with him today. What do you say?''
''Wait,'' Rin stopped her. ''Kohaku knew that it was my brother, not Sesshomaru, who used you to deceive me?''
''Yes, I explained that to him the day before he came to this place looking for you,'' Momo answered.
''Why didn't he say anything? Why would he let me believe that everything that happened was Sesshomaru's fault?'' Rin questioned.
''Rin, Kohaku loves you and maybe he's afraid you might not feel the same way about him anymore,'' Momo suggested. ''Do you love him?''
Rin scoffed. ''You have no idea how much.''
''Then why are you still here? Why haven't you left with him?'' Momo questioned. Rin looked at her but didn't say anything. ''Oh, no. You love Sesshomaru as well,'' Momo realized. ''Rin, you have to choose one of them.''
Rin's aunt entered her room. ''It's me-Oh, would you please give me a moment with my niece?''
''Sure,'' Momo nodded and left. ''Excuse me.''
''You look so upset, how dare she bother you again? Why did she come? What did she want now?'' Sakura questioned.
''Nothing. Nothing, she just apologized again,'' Rin lied.
''How shameless-'' ''Don't judge her, aunt. Momo did something awful, but what is truly unforgivable is what my mom and my brother did!''
''I'm still not sure that things went down that way, the way that woman says,'' Sakura said.
''Well, I am, and you know what? I feel so embarrassed, Sesshomaru has every reason to hate this family!''
''Do you want to go for horseback ride?'' Inuyasha suggested to Kagome.
''No, thank you,'' Kagome declined. ''My husband would never forgive me if I fell off.''
''Where's your husband, Kagome?'' Inuyasha asked.
''In Kamakura, he couldn't come with me because he has a lot of work to take care of,'' Kagome answered.
''Do you love him?'' Inuyasha asked.
''That's a silly question, of course I love him very much,'' Kagome answered.
''Then why are you here without him?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''I came to visit Rin. Besides, when my husband has so much work, he prefers to be left alone,'' Kagome explained.
''And is he always so busy?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''He's Kamakura's mayor, so you can imagine,'' Kagome shrugged.
''You're not an ordinary woman, you know,'' Inuyasha commented. ''You love a man that's never available for you.''
''You're not married, are you?'' Kagome retorted.
''No, but I think I'm falling in love,'' Inuyasha said.
''So? What are you doing here, why aren't you with her right now?'' Kagome questioned.
''I'm talking to her,'' Inuyasha confessed.
Kagome's eyes widened. ''Don't say that, you're making it harder for me to accept you as a friend.''
''Is it wrong of me to fall in love with a beautiful woman like you?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''Yes, because I'm married and I don't feel the same way,'' Kagome reminded him.
''Is it so hard for you to fall in love with a man like me?'' Inuyasha questioned.
Kagome's eyes softened for a second before she glared at him. 'I'm not as stupid as you believe, you think I don't know what you really want?''
''What do I want?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''You know,'' Kagome hinted.
''All I want is to be near you,'' Inuyasha pleaded.
Kagome's cheeks turned red. ''Look, Inuyasha, I know some women fall easily for this, but there's also women like me, who will always be loyal to their husband. Don't waste your time with me.'' Kagome turned away from him and left.
Later that day; Rin, Kagome, and Sakura were gathered at a table in the gardens.
''I agree, you can expect anything from a woman like Momo,'' Kagome said.
Sakura nodded. ''But my niece doesn't seem to understand that, she loves to contradict me lately.''
''You told me that Inuyasha brought her to the farm, is there anything going on between them?'' Kagome asked.
''...'' Rin sat there, staring off into space.
''Rin, darling,'' Sakura called her.
''Oh, I'm sorry, were you talking to me?'' Rin questioned.
''Don't be sad, my girl. You know how much it hurts me to see you like this,'' Sakura pushed some hair out of Rin's face.
''I'm sorry, aunt, but-I can't stop being sad,'' Rin looked down at her lap.
''You miss him very much, don't you?'' Kagome questioned.
''Stop encouraging her, Kagome,'' Sakura snapped. ''I'm sorry for saying this, dear, but you love to put the blame on everybody else, but you also have your skeletons in your closet. First of all, you never should've set your sights on that marine. He might be handsome and all, but he's not a decent man.''
''And what's ''decent'' for you? To have money?'' Rin sneered.
Sakura coughed. ''No, but to have an education and come from a good family.''
''And you think Kohaku doesn't have an education? He's a learned man, aunt,'' Rin told her.
''Could be, but he's in a different position,'' Sakura responded.
''And Sesshomaru isn't? Mom knew that Sesshomaru worked on this farm as just a hand for most of his life, and in spite of that, she thought he was the perfect man for me, and why? Just because he inherited a lot of money. I'm sorry, aunt, but money doesn't differentiate men. To me, Kohaku and Sesshomaru are equals,'' Rin exclaimed.
''Fine, but you sound as if you had to choose between them, but that's not the case anymore. And I don't want to argue about this anymore. You always make me lose my patience. And you even complain about your life when everything that happens is because you're a fool who doesn't listen to reason. And I know I'm a fool as well, but let me tell you one thing, Rin. Whether you like it or not, you're married to a man that loves you, dear, that adores you. But he's no angel, so don't push him because Sesshomaru must have a limit, and if you don't do something to improve your marriage, you could end up in trouble,'' Sakura left the two younger women alone.
Kagome bit down on her bottom lip. ''I think your aunt has a point-'' ''Not you too, Kagome-'' ''Forgive me, but everybody noticed how things are, that two sleep in separate rooms. I don't think Sesshomaru is happy with that situation, and if you keep this up, he might get tired of waiting for you. Is that what you want?''
''I don't even know what I want anymore,'' Rin sighed.
''Would you like Sesshomaru to seek comfort somewhere else?'' Kagome questioned and gestured towards Sesshomaru who was walking and talking with Sara. ''Because I don't think he's lacking in offers. That one over there, without going any further, would be more than willing to help. You already lost Kohaku, don't lose Sesshomaru too. You might regret this and try to fix it, but it could be too late by then.''
Rin and Kagome walked back into the house.
''Naraku thinks all he has to do is give me money, he doesn't realize that what I really want is his affection. He's never even given me one flower,'' Kagome confided in her friend.
''Not one flower?'' Rin questioned.
Momo came in the front door.
''I'm gonna go lay down for a moment. See you later,'' Kagome excused herself.
''Where's Sesshomaru?'' Momo asked.
''In the backyard,'' Rin answered. "Where is he hiding?''
''In a shack by the river,'' Momo revealed.
''I know where that is,'' Rin nodded.
''Why don't you come with me?'' Momo suggested.
''No,'' Rin declined.
''Should I tell him something?'' Momo questioned.
''No,'' Rin declined again. ''Just be careful that nobody from the farm follows you because they're looking for them.
Momo nodded.
Late at night; Sesshomaru, Rin, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sara were hanging out in the living room after dinner and Rin's aunt had already gone to bed.
''How about some music?'' Sara suggested.
''I love that idea,'' Inuyasha turned on the radio to a romantic, slow song. ''Well, I'd like to dance with the most beautiful woman in this house.''
''I won't let you dance with my wife,'' Sesshomaru stated. Rin laughed and sat down next to him.
I wasn't talking about her,'' Inuyasha chuckled. Sara smirked and held out her hand. ''Excuse me,'' Inuyasha said and went to Kagome. ''Want to dance?''
''Why not?'' Kagome smiled and took his hand. The two of them went off to the big open space next to the couch. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck as he brushed some hair from her face.
Sesshomaru stood up and held out his uninjured hand towards Rin. ''Shall we dance too?''
Rin smiled and bit her lip before standing in front of him. ''No, it will be uncomfortable for you with your sling.''
''Well, if that's the problem, I don't need it anymore anyway,'' Sesshomaru smirked and pulled his arm out of his sling.
''You're going to hurt yourself, Sesshomaru,'' Rin worried.
''Sesshomaru, forget about her. She doesn't want to dance with you,'' Sara pulled Sesshomaru into her arms.
Rin scoffed and rolled her eyes before going to her room.
A little later that night, Sesshomaru went into Rin's room only to find it empty.
''God dammit!'' He roared and went out into the living room where everyone else was. ''Rin is gone! No one saw her leave?''
''What's going on? Why are you yelling?'' Sakura questioned when she came out of her room.
''Your niece ran away again, that's what's going on,'' Sesshomaru growled.
Sakura gasped. ''What? No, that's impossible.''
''I have no idea where she went, Mr. Sesshomaru, I swear,'' Sayo said.
''One of you is lying to me,'' Sesshomaru accused.
''Kagome, Sara, and I were here in the living room with you, we didn't see her go out,'' Inuyasha explained.
''Is there anything missing in her room-clothes, her suitcase, anything?'' Sakura asked.
''I didn't check, but I don't think anything's missing,'' Sesshomaru answered.
''Then why are you worried?'' Sakura questioned.
Tinoyo walked in. ''Sesshomaru, Rin took one of the trucks.''
''Dammit! I'm not wasting anymore time. I'm going to look for her,'' Sesshomaru said and left out the front door.
Rin's eyes widened when she saw Kohaku in the shack with Haiga's daughter, Julia. Rin wiped a tear away as it escaped when Kohaku kissed Julia. She turned away and went back to the truck.
Sesshomaru stopped his truck when he got to the shack where he found Rin the last time. He walked in and saw half empty wine glasses, lit candles, and a blanket on the ground.
''What were you doing in that shack? Who were you waiting for?''
''Isn't it obvious? I was waiting for Kohaku.''
''That isn't true!''
''Of course it is! He asked me to wait for him in that shack but it was my bad luck that, that guy got there first!''
Sesshomaru felt nauseous. He walked out went to the bed of his truck. He grabbed two containers of gasoline and poured them everywhere in that shack. He grabbed a lit candle and threw it down. He walked out and stood by his truck, watching the shack as it burned to the ground.
Sesshomaru arrived back later that night. His eyes were red from tears that hadn't shed. He felt defeated and heartbroken. Inuyasha was waiting up for him.
''She left,'' Sesshomaru said. ''She left with him.''
''What? What are you talking about?'' Inuyasha questioned.
''She left, Inuyasha! I've lost her forever!'' Sesshomaru exclaimed.
''Your wife is right here,'' Inuyasha gestured towards Rin's room.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened. ''She came back?'' Inuyasha nodded causing Sesshomaru to run over to his wife's room.
''Where were you, Rin?'' Her aunt questioned.
''I'll explain everything tomorrow if you want but I just want to be alone, please,'' Rin answered after she changed into her pajamas.
''Sesshomaru is very angry, Rinny,'' Kagome warned. ''He went out to look for you.''
''You should've heard his screams. He made me tremble with fear,'' Sakura confessed.
''Oh, please. Sesshomaru wouldn't-'' Sesshomaru entered the room and locked his eyes onto Rin.
''Get out,'' He ordered to Kagome and Sakura. ''Get out of here!''
''Yes, it's alright. Don't worry. Please, leave,'' Rin told them.
''Come, Miss Sakura,'' Kagome coaxed her out of the room and closed the door behind them.
''I thought you wouldn't even notice that I was gone,'' Rin sat down on her couch. ''I mean, you were so busy with your little friend, Sara...Anyway, I guess you want to know where I was.''
Sesshomaru grabbed one of her chairs and threw it across the room. ''You don't need to tell me. I know exactly where you were and with whom.''
''Oh, really? And with whom or where was I, according to you?'' Rin retorted.
''You went to that damned shack again. I dare you to deny it!'' Sesshomaru shouted. Rin looked away. ''That time that Tinoyo found you there, you had the nerve to tell me that you were going to meet Kohaku Mai there, but I didn't believe you because I thought that guy was dead.''
''You're wrong-'' ''No, I'm not wrong!''
''Yes, you are, so calm down, let me explain,'' Rin pleaded.
''I already told you, I don't need you to explain anything,'' Sesshomaru growled. ''It was you who told me that Kohaku was alive, and now I know that you used that shack to meet and drink wine with him and sleep with him like a prostitu-'' Rin slapped Sesshomaru across the face. Sesshomaru took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. ''I hope that man didn't tire you out.'' Sesshomaru ripped his shirt open causing the buttons to fly around the room.
''What are you doing? Stay away from me!'' Rin moved to the corner of the room.
''Why should I?'' Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and pulled her against his chest. ''I'm your husband and you're a very beautiful woman.'' Sesshomaru pulled up Rin so they were the same height and pulled off her night shirt.
''Let go of me!'' Rin cried.
''You're mine,'' Sesshomaru hissed and threw her done on the bed. He was back on her in an instant.
Sesshomaru placed rough kisses everywhere he could see skin while Rin fought against him. He grabbed her hands, held them against the headboard, and finally kissed her lips. Rin's eyes widened at the intrusion before slowing closing and kissing him back. Sesshomaru let go of her hands and hugged her body to his while Rin wrapped her arms around his neck and let him turn them over.
The next morning, Kagome went to her balcony. Her eyes widened when she noticed a horse attached to a wagon with flowers all over it. Kagome rushed out of her room, out the front door, and down the front steps.
''Do you like it?'' Inuyasha appeared from behind the flowers.
''Inuyasha,'' Kagome breathed out.
''I heard you talking when you told Rin you had never gotten any flowers so I wanted to be the first one to shower you with flowers,'' Inuyasha smirked.
''It's beautiful,'' Kagome laughed.
''Shall we?'' Inuyasha offered her his hand. Kagome accepted and Inuyasha picked her up into his arms and set her down in the wagon before sitting down next to her.
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha. ''Thank you.''
''Anything for you,'' Inuyasha promised.
''I'll let Mr. Haiga know that you're here,'' One of the Michis servants said to Sesshomaru.
''Thank you,'' Sesshomaru nodded and looked out the window when he heard Haiga's daughters talking.
''I can't believe it! Are you serious?'' Mayu exclaimed.
''It was so romantic, Mayu. We drank wine, danced, and kissed!'' Julia gushed.
''Where did you go?'' Mayu questioned.
''You know that shack that we used to go to as children, the one by the river?'' Julia told her sister.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened and he moved from the window. ''You were at that shack last night?''
''Yes, I was there last night with...someone,'' Julia revealed.
''I can't believe this,'' Sesshomaru sighed.
''Please don't tell my dad!'' Julia begged.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes when he remembered what he had done last night to his wife.
Late in the morning, Rin was putting on her make up when her aunt knocked on the door.
''Oh, dear, I was so worried about you last night. I waited for your husband to leave your room, but he never left,'' Sakura sighed.
''Sesshomaru slept here,'' Rin smiled brightly and rushed to put on her shoes.
''Does that mean that everything's fine?'' Sakura questioned.
''No, no. Nothing's fine yet,'' Rin sighed.
''Where were you last night?'' Sakura asked. ''Why did you disappear all of a sudden?''
''I don't want to talk about it,'' Rin replied.
''I just need you to answer one question, Rin,'' Sakura began. ''Is that man back?''
''He never left,'' Rin revealed. ''He's hiding, waiting for Inuyasha to go back to Kamakura so he can return to the ranch. You know, it hurt so much to think, to believe that he was gone for good. But I also felt much more calm. Now that he's back, everything gets complicated again and-''
''You have to make him leave, dear. Threaten him. Tell him that either he leaves or you'll call the police yourself-Or better yet-Captain Midoriya,'' Sakura suggested.
''Are you crazy? I can't do that,'' Rin declined. ''I'm not sending him to jail, not when I know he's innocent. Remember that my mom and brother destroyed his life. They turned Kohaku into a fugitive. I don't want to hurt him anymore. It's too much. I can't forgive myself.''
''So, what are you going to do to keep Kohaku from coming back?'' Sakura questioned.
''I'm going to clear my conscience,'' Rin revealed. ''I'm going to tell Sesshomaru the whole truth.''
''Are you crazy? Do you want your husband to kill you? You're gonna tell your husband you brought your lover here?'' Sakura questioned.
''Kohaku is not my lover,'' Rin rolled her eyes.
''But that's what Sesshomaru will believe. Don't do good things that look like bad things, dear,'' Sakura told her.
''Sesshomaru already thinks the worst of me, so the only way I'll be able to improve his concept of me is being honest with him,'' Rin reasoned. ''I can't keep going on like this. When I married Sesshomaru, I hated him, but now everything's changed and this situation is hurting me deeply.'' Rin stopped when there was a knock on her door and Sesshomaru came in.
''I need to talk to you,'' Sesshomaru requested.
''Me too,'' Rin agreed. ''Can you leave us alone, aunt?'' Rin's aunt nodded and left the room leaving Sesshomaru and Rin to stare at each other. ''Um-It's not easy for me to say this, so please, hear me out calmly, because last night you wouldn't let me say anything.''
''I know, Rin. I hope you can understand that I was dying of jealously and I wouldn't listen to reason,'' Sesshomaru sighed.
''I hope this time you'll let me talk-'' ''No, there's no need.''
''What do you mean, there's no need? Please, Sesshomaru-'' ''When I walked into that shack and saw the wine glasses, the lit candles and that blanket on the floor, I-I imagined the worst and lost my mind. So much so that-I burned the shack down.''
''Sesshomaru..'' Rin walked up to him and grabbed his hand.
''When I came home, I was so surprised to know that you were back. I was sure you went out to meet Kohaku and I didn't understand why you didn't take the chance to run away with him. But now I know that I was wrong, that you weren't in that shack,'' Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's hands and pressed his forehead to hers. ''I'm begging you, forgive me, Rin. I misjudged you and I behaved like a fool. I'm begging you to forgive me. Rin, I've done everything to make you trust me, I even brought Captain Midoriya and Momo here, but I didn't make an effort to stop doubting you after you had the courage to tell me the truth about Kohaku. You could've lied but you didn't. I'm sure that, if that man was close-if you were seeing him, you wouldn't do it behind my back. You would be honest with me. Because something like that, Rin, I-I would never forgive you. Something like that would turn this love I feel for you into hate. But anyway, what did you want to tell me?''
Rin moved back so their foreheads were no longer touching and sat down on her bed. ''Nothing. You said everything.''
Sesshomaru got down on his knees in front of her. ''Please, say you forgive me.''
''I have nothing to forgive, Sesshomaru. I understand why you doubt me after everything I've done,'' Rin admitted.
''I promise I won't do it again. I swear that from now on, I'll try to trust you,'' Sesshomaru told her.
Rin smiled and held his hands.
