Hello. A little lovey dovey-ness ahead. Goodbye.
I OWN NOTHING.
The ride home between Sesshomaru and Rin, had been quiet. They had shared some of their feelings and a nice kiss but...Where did they go from here? Neither of them knew what to say so, they were waiting for the other to make a move.
Sesshomaru and Rin walked into the front door of their home and were greeted by Sara.
''I'm glad you're back, Sesshomaru. Shall we go?'' Sara asked.
''In just a moment,'' Sesshomaru answered.
''I'll grab my purse,'' Sara smiled and walked past them.
''Where are you going?'' Rin asked.
''It's a ranchers' party. Sara and I have gone every year since we turned eighteen so I promised this year would be no different,'' Sesshomaru explained.
''What about me? Why don't you invite me to the party?'' Rin questioned.
''I didn't think you'd like to go..with me,'' Sesshomaru shrugged.
''Well, yes, I do want to go with you,'' Rin replied.
''Great. I'll be happy to take you with me,'' Sesshomaru smiled.
''Okay. I won't be long,'' Rin skipped over to her room and left Sesshomaru alone so she could change her clothes.
''I'm ready,'' Sara called out as she came into the living room.
''We have to wait for Rin,'' Sesshomaru informed her.
''She's going too?'' Sara questioned. Sesshomaru nodded. ''Then I'm not going. She's going to spoil my night! She's always saying things that hurt me.''
''Fine, don't go,'' Sesshomaru told her.
''Sesshomaru..'' Sara pouted.
''Sometimes I feel like you abuse the affection I have for you deliberately and especially in front of Rin and you have to understand that I-'' ''You love her more than me.''
''My feelings for Rin have nothing to do with the affection I have for you,'' Sesshomaru responded.
''How can you love her when she's so mean to you?'' Sara questioned.
''Enough, Sara! You are old enough to know the correct way to act around me now that I'm married. I don't want to have this talk again,'' Sesshomaru ordered. ''Are you coming with us or not?''
''Do you want me to go?'' Sara asked.
''If I didn't want you to go, I wouldn't have asked,'' Sesshomaru reminded her.
''Okay,'' Sara smiled and latched onto his arm.
''I'm ready,'' Rin said as she came into the room.
''You look beautiful,'' Sesshomaru complimented and unhooked himself from Sara to stand in front of his wife.
''Let's go,'' Sara sneered and headed out the door.
''Rin, did you mean it when you said you were falling in love with me?'' Sesshomaru asked.
''Yes,'' Rin smiled and Sesshomaru returned it before they shared another sweet kiss. Sesshomaru gave her his arm to escort her out and they left to the party.
Sango was putting the dishes she had washed earlier away when someone cleared their throat behind her. She looked over to the back door and her eyes widened.
''Dear God. It's you, Miroku,'' Sango breathed out.
Everyone but Sara was having a great time at the party, walking around, eating good food, playing games for several hours. They joined up with Kohaku who was there with Julia. Sesshomaru and Rin were attached to each other the whole time which ruined Sara's evening.
''Are you tired? Do you want us to leave, honey?'' Sesshomaru asked his wife.
Sara grabbed Sesshomaru's arm. ''No, you can't leave yet. There's are just getting good.''
''Let's go home,'' Rin smiled until she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. ''That man has a gun!''
Sesshomaru looked over just in time to see Kohaku land a punch to the man's face before he laid Rin down onto the ground and left to take care of it with the others. ''Stay right there!''
Rin laid there, terrified until she looked over and saw Julia had passed out next to her. Rin crawled over to her and pulled her into her lap. ''Sesshomaru! Help! Something's wrong! Julia fainted!''
Sesshomaru and Kohaku looked over. Kohaku took Julia into his arms and everyone followed after him.
Everyone was gathered in the living room. Julia's father had already taken her away.
''You should've seen the look on all of your faces,'' Sara laughed.
''What happened isn't funny,'' Rin snapped at Sara. ''Sango, get the first aid kit please.''
''Of course, ma'am,'' Sango ran off to the kitchen.
''At least nothing serious happened,'' Sara pointed out. ''It was so fun to see all of you fight.''
''Shut up already, Sara!'' Rin exclaimed.
''I'm gonna head out. Good night,'' Kohaku excused himself.
''Hey, cutie, bring some ointment to my room,'' Souta told Sara and went to the room he was staying in.
''Excuse me,'' Sara sighed and went to the kitchen.
''I'm going to pour alcohol on my soul's wounds. Good night,'' Tohru said and took a whole bottle of alcohol with him.
Sesshomaru took a seat next to Rin when they were finally alone. ''Are you okay?''
''Yes, but look at you. I was scared to death. Why did that man have a gun? Do you think he wanted to shoot us?" Rin questioned.
''Maybe,'' Sesshomaru shrugged.
Rin gently touched the bruise that had already formed on the corner of Sesshomaru's face. ''Does it hurt?''
''It'll go away in less than a day, Rin. I'm a demon,'' Sesshomaru reminded her. ''But thank you.''
''Thanks for what?'' Rin asked.
''For everything,'' Sesshomaru answered. ''For coming with me tonight, for worrying about me, and for taking care of me.'' Sesshomaru placed a kiss on Rin's hand. ''Rin, I'd like to ask you if tonight, we could-''
''Tomorrow, Souta and Tohru are going to wake up in so much pain,'' Sara laughed.
''Good night, Sara,'' Sesshomaru growled.
''I'm going to sleep too. Good night,'' Rin sighed and went to her room.
''Good night,'' Sara said right before Sesshomaru appeared in front of her face.
''The next time you see me talking to my woman, you turn around and go back from where you came from. Is that clear?'' Sesshomaru snarled and left her alone.
The next day, Rin had gotten dressed and walked into the living room in search of her husband.
''Sango, where is Sesshomaru?''
''He went to talk to a new employee for a moment, ma'am,'' Sango informed her.
Rin nodded and let Sango go to the kitchen.
''Rinny,'' Kohaku called out as he walked in.
''Why are you still here?'' Rin questioned. ''I asked you to leave.''
''I can't leave. Your brother threatened me that if I leave, he'll tell Sesshomaru everything,'' Kohaku revealed.
''What?'' Rin's eyes widened.
''Yes, and I can't leave you here to deal with that alone,'' Kohaku said.
''Yes you can. I need you to leave,'' Rin insisted. ''I'll deal with Sesshomaru but I don't want you here when he finds out who you are. I'm worried for you.''
''That means, you still love me,'' Kohaku realized. Rin kept quiet causing Kohaku to get angry and pull her into his arms. ''Answer me, Rin. Lately, I've been feeling like you don't care about me anymore.''
''You know how much I love you,'' Rin sighed.
''And him, what do you feel for Sesshomaru?'' Kohaku asked.
''..I'm falling in love with him,'' Rin admitted.
''Rinny..'' Kohaku whimpered.
''I love you with all of my soul, Kohaku but I'm determined to kill that love and in order to do that, I need you to leave because I can't stand having you near anymore!'' Rin cried. ''I can't stand it anymore!'' Rin pulled herself from his grasp and left him.
Inuyasha got off the phone with Kagome and began to walk down the street to get home when a human blocked his path.
''Are you serious? Do you know what I am?'' Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the man he didn't even know.
''I do. Don't worry, I didn't come alone,'' The man informed Inuyasha as about 20-30 humans surrounded him. ''The man who paid us said you wouldn't dare kill any of us.''
Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.
Rin stood in her room, staring out her window when Sesshomaru came in.
''Hello,'' Rin greeted him with a smile and a pressed a kiss to his cheek.
''Hello. I want to talk to you about something. Who help you get into contact with Kohaku Mai?'' Sesshomaru asked her.
''Sesshomaru-Why does it matter anymore?'' Rin questioned.
''You know perfectly well why,'' Sesshomaru reminded her. ''Because you tried to run away twice, and the two times were to try to go with him. I know you've been in touch with him and that you have an accomplice here at the ranch.''
''I already promised you-'' ''I don't trust your promises! They don't mean anything to me. The only people I can doubt, are those who started working here after you arrived. Those people are Sayo and Shiro.''
''I have no accomplice!'' Rin exclaimed.
''Then, just tell me what you have done to get in touch with that guy,'' Sesshomaru insisted.
''Sesshomaru, why can't we forget about that? Let's try and start over,'' Rin pleaded.
''I would forget about it, I swear I would, if that thing had died on our wedding day, but it wasn't like that. You've been in touch with that man, here, behind my back! I'm not stupid, and I need to know how, when, and who helped you!'' Sesshomaru growled.
''What sense does it make?'' Rin questioned.
''It makes sense to me,'' Sesshomaru got in her face. ''Don't you realize I can't be okay, that I can't trust you if you never tell me the truth?''
''What you should care about, is that I want you,'' Rin confessed. ''You can be sure about my feelings, and that I'm being honest with you. I'm falling in love with you.''
Sesshomaru sighed and backed away from her. ''I wish I could believe you.''
''If my words aren't enough, I hope my kisses make you understand how I feel,'' Rin pulled Sesshomaru in for a kiss which he quickly responded to. They stayed like that for a few more minutes. Just kissing and holding each other as close as possible before Rin moved away. ''Do you believe me now?''
''What about him? What do you feel for Kohaku? Do you still love him?'' Sesshomaru asked. Rin sighed and backed away from him. ''Why don't you answer me?''
''Because you won't like my answer,'' Rin admitted.
Sesshomaru and Rin looked at each other with softened eyes.
''Ma'am, your friend, Kagome is on the phone for you,'' Sara opened the door to interrupt.
Rin sighed and left to answer the phone.
Inuyasha carefully walked into his house, holding his side just to be greeted by Juromaru and Naraku.
''What do you want?'' Inuyasha questioned as Juromaru forced him into one of the chairs in his living room.
''Just to talk. I want you to tell me when and how your affair with my wife started!'' Naraku snapped.
Tohru, Souta, and Sakura were all in the living room when Rin came in, furious.
''This time, you crossed a line!'' Rin yelled at Tohru. ''You're shameless. Now I understand why you don't want to leave. You're afraid of Kya's brother finding you. And you have the nerve to try and blackmail me. You want that money to run away, right? Coward.''
''Calm down,'' Tohru told her.
''How can I calm down?'' Rin questioned. ''I'm disgusted with what you did. With what you both did to poor Kya! I'm sure my dad doesn't dare step out of his house because of everything you did, Tohru!''
Tohru grabbed Rin's arm roughly. ''Shut up.''
''Let go of me!'' Rin pushed him away. ''You make me sick! Just when I think you can't get any lower, you prove me wrong. I feel sorry for dad for having to put up with you but mostly I feel sorry for poor Kya for falling in love with someone as awful as you!''
Kagome looked over when she heard her cellphone go off and a smile spread across her face when she saw the name Inuyasha appear on the screen.
''Hey, I was about to call you. I was thinking about spending some time at Rin's house and thought you might like to join me,'' Kagome answered the phone.
''I don't think we'll be seeing each other again,'' Inuyasha replied.
''Huh? I don't understand,'' Kagome said.
''Of course you do. I doubt you're that dumb, are you?'' Inuyasha snapped.
''Are you breaking up with me?'' Kagome questioned.
''You got it,'' Inuyasha responded.
''But why?'' Kagome asked. ''You can't do this to me, Inuyasha. You swore you loved me! You told me I wasn't just a fling.''
''It was all a lie, Kagome. I told you what you needed to hear to get you in my bed,'' Inuyasha sneered. ''But it's over. The truth is..The truth is you're starting to bore me, and before I get tired of you, I'd rather end things.''
''I'm in love with you,'' Kagome whimpered.
''Well, that's too bad for you. You shouldn't have trusted a man like me. It was a game from the start, a challenge. I wanted to prove you're just like your friend, and I did,'' Inuyasha told her.
''You bastard!'' Kagome shouted.
''Don't come looking for me again,'' Inuyasha hung up.
Kagome whimpered before her tears started flowing down and she fell to the floor, sobbing.
''Satisfied?'' Inuyasha growled towards Naraku and Juromaru who had a gun pointed to his head.
''Stay away from my wife from now on or next time, I'll kill her and make you watch,'' Naraku snarled before leaving Inuyasha's house.
Inuyasha waited for them to step out the door before he let out a roar filled with anguish and threw the phone across the room, making it smash apart. Inuyasha felt his face get wet and realized he was crying.
Rin and Sesshomaru were sitting at the table in the garden having some tea together.
''Sesshomaru, please let Sayo come back here. I miss her so much. She works so hard and she's fond of us,'' Rin tried to persuade him.
''Tell me who helped you contact that man,'' Sesshomaru tried to bargain.
''Sesshomaru..'' Rin whispered.
''Tell who helped you and I'll let her come back,'' Sesshomaru offered.
''I can't,'' Rin replied.
''Why?'' Sesshomaru suddenly stood up and turned away from her.
''Because I'm afraid,'' Rin confessed.
Sesshomaru's eyes softened and he carefully approached his wife. ''Afraid of what? You have to know I would never hurt you.''
''Please, let's forget about all of this-'' ''I can't! I can't because jealousy and doubts will always be after me. I need to see all of your soul to trust you enough to...To know for sure that you won't betray me ever again.''
''I won't do that. Sesshomaru, I swear. You have my word-'' ''I don't want your word! I want you to tell me to my face right now.''
''I won't do that. You heard me. I won't ever do that, because I know you and I know that you're capable of any nonsense and I don't want anything to happen to..Kohaku or you, do you understand?'' Rin admitted. ''Neither of you!'' Rin walked away from him and back into the house.
''Ma'am, I'm so glad you're here,'' Sango greeted Rin when she walked into the kitchen. ''Sayo wants to talk to you. She said it's very important.''
Rin's eyes widened. ''Where is she?''
''Our there. She says that she's afraid Sesshomaru would see her,'' Sango answered. ''She told me that she'll be waiting for you in the stables.''
''I have to go see her,'' Rin told Sango and walked out the back door.
Sesshomaru sighed as he sat in his office chair. He didn't know what to do about Rin.
Miroku came running in. ''Sesshomaru! The stables are on fire! The whole thing is burning down!''
Sesshomaru's eyes widened.
Rin walked over to the stables and looked around but didn't see Sayo so she walked all the way in and her nose scrunched up. It smelled like gasoline.
''Sayo? Are you in here? Sayo?'' Rin called out for her until she noticed Sayo laying in one of the stalls, not moving. ''Sayo! Sayo, open your eyes! Please! Someone help!'' Rin exclaimed but suddenly she could smell smoke and she noticed the whole stable was on fire. ''Oh my god! Help! Someone please! Help! Sayo, what do I do? Please, don't do this to me,'' Rin cried and could only watch as everything burned around her and the smoke entered her mouth and nose.
''Someone, help please! Sesshomaru!''
Well ain't that some shit. What'd ya think? Not a whole lot of lovey dovey stuff in this chapter but there should be more in the next one. Reviews people, reviews.
