Friday finally comes, and Sesshomaru leaves work early. When he steps out, he spots his father leaning against his car.
Sesshomaru scoffs, "What is it, father?"
Toga points his finger at his son. "You are up to something?"
"You came all this way, father, to ask me that?"
"I was on the way to pick up Izayoi's dress when I received a phone call from her mentioning Rin was coming over tonight."
Sesshomaru folds his arms. "What does that have to with me, father? Isn't she related to Kagome?"
"Yes, but amongst her rambling, she mentioned Rin's supervisor suddenly just let her have the day off with pay." Toga looks at his son and raises an eyebrow. "Does that have anything to do with you? Did you pull some strings to see Rin?"
Sesshomaru chuckled, "You think I, Sesshomaru, would go to such great lengths to see a human girl?"
Toga sternly says, "She is your mate, and you are playing around with fate. I know you are not very fond of humans because of me and Izayoi, but it is what it is, son. You and Rin are fated to be with one another. If you keep playing around, you will lose her for good."
That thought made Sesshomaru's stomach turn; he couldn't lose Rin. He didn't want to accept that she was his mate, but he was content with using that bond to do whatever he pleased with her.
Sesshomaru heard his father speak, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Whatever you do, Sesshomaru, do not hurt her. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
Sesshomaru takes his keys out. "I will see you at dinner, father."
Toga stands in the empty parking lot as Sesshomaru drives off. "You don't know the repercussions you will have to deal with."
Toga finally leaves to go pick up Izayoi's dress.
Izayoi picks up Kagome and Rin, and they head over to the Taisho Estate. It never ceases to amaze Rin to see the architecture of the home.
Izayoi leads the girls to the spa room she had set up. "Isn't this wonders?"
Both of the girls gleamed at all the different stations. Rin was into skincare, so she wanted a facial or some kind of hydration treatment.
Kagome wanted a back massage.
Izayoi wanted the same as Rin.
After finishing up at the stations, they all sat to get a foot massage and drink champagne.
"So anything interesting you girls would like to share. I want to hear some spicy stories. We have a good two hours before dinner," Izayoi says excitingly.
Rin wanted to talk about Sesshomaru, but...what they had was supposed to be on the hush. She decided it was best to keep that to herself. "I don't have anything going on. I go to work and come home," Rin says.
Kagome turns her attention from Rin. "Well, as you know, Izayoi, things have been getting serious with Inuyasha and me. We have been talking about living together."
"That is kind of fast, Kagome," Rin says with an eyebrow raised.
Kagome was about to speak when Izayoi interrupted. "Rin, I know that it may seem like a rush, but there is a difference between dating a human and a demon."
Rin takes a sip of her drink. "What is the difference?"
"Well, my husband is over a thousand years old."
Rin's mouth fell agape. "What?"
Izayoi smiles and nods her head. "Yes, Rin, and I am about 800 years old."
Rin's eyes blinked slowly. "Get out of here; that is a lie!" Rin said in pure shock.
"I freaked out when I heard it, too," Kagome laughs.
"When you are mated with a demon, you take on their lifespan; it cannot be helped. The only way for it to go sideways is if you or your intended denies who you are to each other." Izayoi puts a finger to her mouth and looks as if she is out of space. "Which is rare, but it could happen, as Toga has told me."
"Wow, to live that long; is nuts." Rin takes another sip of her drink with her eyes going every way.
She suddenly spaces out, and wonders could she ever be Sesshomaru's mate. From what Izayoi said, a human could be a demon's mate.
That excited her, and her mind started to drift...to inappropriate thoughts.
Rin felt as if her body was leaving her as she remembered that night when Sesshomaru pleasured her.
She bites her bottom lip.
Kagome looks at her sister and snaps her fingers in front of her. "What the hell are you thinking about? It looks like you were about to orgasm."
Izayoi gasped and laughed softly. "Oh, Kagome, why would you embarrass dear Rin that way?"
Rin's face lit up; she was bright red.
"This drink has me feeling nice; that is all," Rin says softly.
Yes, she was thinking about Sesshomaru, but she also thought about what he said. He said she was his, but that could have also meant he wanted to fuck her. He never mentioned anything about a mate. He only brought up a proposition.
The masseuses finish up, and Izayoi stands to her feet. "Alright, girls, let's go get ready for dinner."
"Is it always this extravagant when there are family dinners?"
"Yes, and since you will be around Rin, you will have to get used to this type of treatment," Izayoi says, grabbing both women's hands and walking them into her massive closet.
Rin looked around the closet in awe. She couldn't believe anyone could own so many clothes, jewelry, shoes, hats, purses…the list goes on.
"Rin, you can wear something of mine if you like," Izayoi suggested.
"You are too kind, but it is just a simple dinner, right?"
"Yes, and as I have said, you should get used to this type of treatment. This is how we do it around here," Izayoi says, with a little dance.
"She isn't going to stop Rin. You might as well," Kagome gestured to all the extravagant wear with her hand.
"Okay," Rin says.
Rin chooses a simple asymmetrical slash dress with a slit going up her thigh. Izayoi handed her a clutch but it didn't match the dress. She continued looking until she found one that matched perfectly. Izayoi gave her black strappy heels to complete the ensemble.
"Now that you are done, and...you are quite simple, Rin, which is okay, but we will have to break that shell of yours." Izayoi claps her hands. A couple of maids enter the room. "Rin is finished; please get her hair and nails done."
The two maids nod and whisk Rin away.
Once Rin was out of the clear, Izayoi motions Kagome to come to her.
Kagome looked confused, and Izayoi reassured her it was nothing serious.
"Toga and I believe Sesshomaru has a thing for your sister."
"Wha-."
Izayoi interrupts, "That is not why I have invited her. I genuinely like her, but I feel something happened between her and Sesshomaru that night. Has she said anything to you?"
Kagome shook her no. "She hasn't said anything."
"Maybe it's their little secret. I don't know if Sesshomaru will attend tonight but if he does, keep a good eye on them both. I know she is an adult and can handle herself, but that step-son of mine can be a handful."
"It surprises me but yet doesn't. He was such an ass to her but very kind in the end. They did disappear for some time."
"Let her talk about it when she is ready," Izayoi concludes and is off again, sifting through different clothing.
Kagome became worried. She hoped if her sister were getting involved with Sesshomaru, she would be careful.
