Sesshomaru watches his father move towards his competition. Father, what do you have up your sleeve? Why would you introduce her to HIM!
Toga and Rin finally made their way over to his colleague. "Naraku, I would like to introduce you to Rin."
Dark red eyes flicker over to Rin. He takes her hand, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Rin. You are stunning!" he plants a kiss on her hand.
Sesshomaru grinds his teeth together at the gesture.
"Naraku, Rin, here is my son's intended sister. I am introducing her to everyone so that she can become more acquainted with her surroundings."
"Hmm." Naraku looks around and notices Toga's wife is standing alone. "How about I take over? I promise you she is in good hands. You should tend to your wife now."
Rin and Toga glanced over and indeed saw Izayoi was now by herself.
Rin nods, "I will be fine. You have been with me for pretty much the whole night. You should be by your wife's side." She turns to look at Naraku. "If Mr. Taisho trusts you, I am sure I can too."
Toga looks at Sesshomaru from the side of his eye and smirks. "I think that would be a swell idea." He looks over at Rin and Naraku. "I will leave you to it."
Sesshomaru was losing his mind. He could not let Naraku have her, which was the furthest thing from happening, but Sesshomaru believed it to be true.
Naraku did have some interest in her, but only enough for his colleague to spend time with his mate.
Toga comes up behind Izayoi and wraps his arms around her waist. "I have missed you, mate." He sniffs and nuzzles at her neck.
"I have missed you too, dearest."
Izayoi turns around, wraps her arms around her husband, and smiles, but she notices something.
"I know that look. What have you got planned?"
Toga made a toothy grin. "Should I tell you, or should I let you watch the events unfold? That is the true question."
"Toga," Izayoi gives Toga an intense glare.
"Okay, okay. It is Sesshomaru. I think he found his mate."
Toga turns his wife slightly. "Look at him; look at the way he watches Rin."
The couple begins to dance with one another, speaking discreetly. Izayoi glances over at Sesshomaru and then over to Rin. She sees Sesshomaru gulping down champagne and grinding his teeth together. He had an intense glare at Rin and Naraku.
"You see." Izayoi turns her attention back to her husband. "He has been doing that all night with me. He has been watching me with her. I should have known by the way he was acting when he helped her out of the limo."
"Do you think that is why he abandoned her?" Izayoi asks.
"I bet my life on it. He was trying to avoid her, make her feel uncomfortable."
"Now look at him, she has got more acquainted, and he looks miserable," Izayoi chuckles.
"I am sure by the end of the night; he will try to claim her. Once you know, you know, there is no running away from it. He couldn't say anything to me tonight, but." He turns them and glances over to Naraku. "He will say something to Naraku or, even worse, place harm on him. Either way, he will take his prize away…tonight."
Kagome looks over and sees Rin with someone and thinks she would be nosy.
"Excuse me," she says, waving.
"Oh, hey, Kagome." Rin turns to Naraku. "Kagome, this is Naraku. He was kind enough to take over so Toga could be with his wife."
"Oh, that is nice of you, Naraku."
She holds her hand out, and Naraku grasps it.
"Such beauty, this must be the sister. You are Inuyasha's intended," he says as he kisses her hand.
"Yes, I am," she smiles.
"I see beauty runs through the family," he smiles, showing a fang.
"Thank you," Kagome blushes. "I came to check up on Rin. I have not seen her for most of the evening."
Everyone turned as they heard a voice clearing coming towards them; it was Inuyasha.
Inuyasha pulls Kagome gently by the waist.
Naraku understood the Inu clan was very possessive over their mates. He knew Inuyasha meant no harm by it.
The music changes and Inuyasha realizes he didn't have one dance with his soon-to-be mate. "Dance with me, woman!" he twirls her around, and Kagome giggles.
"Of course."
Rin giggled at the pair but felt awkward standing there with someone she didn't know.
Naraku clears his throat, "Would you like to dance, Rin?"
Rin blushes and shyly nods her head. He reaches his hand out to Rin and pulls her close to his body.
Naraku was tall but not as towering as Sesshomaru.
One hand reached up to his shoulder while intertwining their fingers with her other hand. She eventually moved her hand down his shoulder to his chest. She felt like she was straining to keep it there.
A hand moved to the small of her back, and she almost felt herself shudder.
They begin to move across the dancefloor.
Naraku wanted to loosen her up a little. He thought a pleasant conversation wouldn't hurt.
"So Rin, have you enjoyed yourself tonight? Are us demons so bad?"
"You all are not bad at all," she giggles. "It seems like Mr. Taisho's older son doesn't particularly like humans. He was very rude to me."
"Well, that is Sesshomaru for you. I, for one, do not concern myself with him". Naraku raises an eyebrow, "He is a nuisance if you were to ask me."
"Well, you don't like him either. So that means he is an ass to everyone," Rin replies.
"He doesn't care for humans; he only tolerates them. I should be more clear. I'm not too fond of his ways. He seems to be competitive with me."
"Hmm, maybe it's something you have; he wished he had."
"Maybe so; let's not spend the night talking about him, huh," he says, looking down at her. There was a twinkle in his eye that made her blush. She nods, and they proceed with their dance.
A/N: Thinking about uploading a chapter tomorrow. I will look over it to clear up as many errors.
