Chapter 4
You always just forget about me!
Who ever thought I would have feelings for my worst enemy. Ayame was right when she said I loved him, was I surprised? Yes! Holy crap was I ever surprised. I never thought in my wildest dreams would I ever kiss him, hell I never thought I would lose my virginity to him. But was I complaining? No. Not really. Was I ever going to tell Sesshomaru? Probably in the near future when he stopped being a douchebag, but I serious doubt that will ever happen. So I had officially come up with the conclusion of this 'relationship' either being the most beautiful, amazing moments of my life or a living nightmare where I regret every single second. Either way, I was stuck with the guy for a few months.
Of course, he would always be my worst enemy, and I would never stop fighting and bickering with him. I mean it's a daily thing in my life. I cannot go a full day without insulting the dog. It's impossible. It my job as a human to tell him what's right and what wrong with the picture. He can fight and yell at me all he wants; I was never going to stop.
So being handcuffed to this dangerous creature that could instantly kill with a poke of his claws didn't really sound like a bad idea. And besides, I could take this time to dig into his soul and then get a freaking A on the project. Score one for Rin! And on the side I can humiliate him whenever I want. It was going to be non-stop Rin twenty-four/ seven. How do you like them apples?!
The rest of the weekend was…interesting and when I said interesting I mean all we did was watch TV until our brains turned into pumpkin mush. What else do you think we did?
Seriously though, I don't think I can ever watch another episode The Office ever again. I was so relieved when I heard Izayoi and Mr. Takahashi walk through the front doors. When I heard them, I stood up from the couch and started to walk away completely forgetting the demon tied to me. He didn't move an inch while I was flung backwards into him. "Get up you lazy demon," I hissed low, "your parents are home."
He took a swing of the alcohol in his hands and kept his eyes on the screen. Geez, I didn't even think he heard me. So I did the only possible thing I could do, I grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. I waited for the yelling but it never came. Instead I got his golden cold stare in my face. "What?!" I spat.
"I'm pretending you're not here," he answered grabbing the remote back and turning the TV back on. I swear I was going to throw something at that screen.
"Well stop pretending and get off your lazy ass!" I grabbed his arm with my other hand and tried to pull his body from the couch. It was no use, he was too heavy. "God what do you eat?"
A small grin appeared on his face while his eyes were still glued at the screen ahead. He was ignoring me and the bastard was doing it for a reason! He was enjoying every second. That little…
"Takahashi! I swear if you don't get off your freaking ass I'm going to-"
"What are you going to do?" he stared back at me. "You have no power over me."
I opened my mouth to say something but all came out was a large squeal as I was suddenly pulled down onto the couch with Sesshomaru on top of me. My hands grasped his shoulders trying to push him away but it was no use, I couldn't do it. And it was all because of those deep golden eyes piercing into mine, oh and because Sesshomaru was a demon and the chances of pushing him off me was as high as winning the lottery.
Our lips were about to touch when a familiar squawking echoed throughout the house, calling out for Sesshomaru. "Hey Takahashi, I think your non-Ninja Turtle is looking for you." He rolled his eyes and got up heading out the doors, dragging me along. "Hey, ouch! Watch it!"
He ignored me and kept walking. "Lord Sesshomaru!" the green demon called.
Man did he ever have a loud voice. I winced, feeling my ears throb. It was probably worse for Sesshomaru because he was a dog demon. The thing was he didn't even flinch. This guy was like a statue. Hey, someone give me a hammer and a chisel, maybe he would feel that. Then I realized the small demon's squawking was right behind us. We both turned to see very angry Jaken burning holes through my head.
"Lord Sesshomaru, your father is looking for you," Jaken said, giving me another burning glare.
He sighed heavily, clearly not wanting to see him while I had a staring contest with Jaken. "Jaken!" Sesshomaru snapped, "Leave before I cut off your head."
The thing scurried away, scared of the threat. "Wow, Ayame was right. Your threats are scary," I giggled, my voice filled with sarcasm. "That was sarcasm BTW. That means by the way."
"I know what it means. Let's go."
He dragged me through the large house, turning corners and climbing stairs. I was even wondering if we were still in the country. Then we arrived at a pair of large, double, mahogany doors. "Nice doors," I commented.
"Will you stop that," Sesshomaru muttered.
"Stop what?!"
"Stop commenting on everything in this house!"
"Well excuse me. I've just never seen a house like this before!"
"Arguing I see," a voice joined in. We both turned to see a tall, silver haired demon leaning against the door frame. He looked a lot like Sesshomaru minus the different markings on his face.
I grinned. "Just another typical day in paradise."
He smiled. "You must be Rin. Izayoi told me you were staying here."
"Nice to meet you," I smiled back. He was nothing like Sesshomaru. He was so nice. How were these two related?
"What is it father?" Sesshomaru asked impatiently.
"Right Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you in private."
We followed the demon inside and remained standing. If it were up to me, we would sit but nope, apparently Sesshomaru didn't want to. Stupid demons.
When Mr. Takahashi turned, he gave me a confused look. "I'm sorry; I need to talk to my son alone."
"I can't," I lifted my hands to show him the cuffs. "We're kind of stuck together."
He came over and inspected the cuffs. "Where did you get these?"
"Thank my lovely friend Ayame and her mom's police cuffs."
"I see."
My eyes widened, wondering that maybe… "Can you break them?"
"I'm sorry, I cannot. Only a key can unlock it."
"That's what I thought," I muttered.
"Why did you want to see me father?" Sesshomaru asked again.
Mr. Takahashi's eyes hardened. "Explain to me why I found Izayoi's favorite vase shattered in the trash can."
"The maids had to put it somewhere."
"You had a party didn't you? Sesshomaru I told you no more parties! Remember last time when you burnt down half the house?"
"Not really, no." Yeah, because he was probably banging Kagura when that happened.
The demon sighed in exasperation, clearly frustrated in his son. I bit my lip trying to hold in the giggle that threatened to escape. I loved the position Sesshomaru was in. He was like a child about to get grounded, oh wait he was a child about to get grounded. Laugh out loud to that.
"Keys, now. You'll be taking the bus for the week."
I snickered as Sesshomaru growled. "I refuse to take the bus full of freshmen. I'll fly."
The snickering stop, "Say what?" I exclaimed.
"No you will not. I don't want you causing any disturbances nor heart-attacks in the city. Since your stuck to Rin, you'll get to live as a human for the week, do whatever humans do, which means taking the bus like a normal person."
My grin widened, liking that idea every much. I got to push him around for once. This was going to be good. "Umm, can I go back to work?"
"Work? Hmmm, that's not such a bad idea. Sesshomaru you'll go to work with her and help her out."
"Father!" he growled.
"I'm glad you volunteered. Now I seems like Izayoi needs help putting away the groceries."
"I'll help her!" I budged in.
This time I was the one who dragged Sesshomaru around. Felt good. This was going to be a great week.
xXx
I felt great on Monday, which is really rare. I don't know if it was because it was such a sunny, gorgeous day or Sesshomaru had to take the big, yellow rolling turd but man was it ever awesome. Sesshomaru, however, looked like someone had taken his favorite toy away which really happened because it was his car. Half of me felt sorry for him but the other half was laughing like an idiot and enjoying the moment.
Well I would've enjoyed the moment more if Sesshomaru didn't start pulling my arm towards the door while I was in the middle of putting my shoes on. He's been doing this since yesterday, pretending I wasn't there like I didn't exist. It annoyed me greatly. I was pretty sure he was pissed about something but hey, who knows. "You always just forget about me! What am I, invisible?"
He pulled harder. "Then hurry up. I want to get this over with. You being tied to me don't make it any better."
"Well excuse me. This wasn't my idea in the first place."
"Your right. If I want someone to blame, I'll blame your wolf friend. Next time I see her…."
"You hurt her, I swear to god."
Our argument was going to go on a bit longer if Inuyasha didn't drive up in his red mustang, blaring the music. "Sup suckers," he smirked.
"Not now Inuyasha," Sesshomaru growled.
"Oh why not," he took out his iphone and aimed it at us. "Just keep walking and pretend I'm not here."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm recording you and your first time on a school bus," he laughed. "I'm so proud of you."
I heard a crack coming from Sesshomaru's fingers. "Leave half breed before I melt your car."
"Damn Sesshomaru, I was going to offer you a ride but if you're just going to threaten my car well, I don't think I will. See you later sucker!" and he was gone.
"Now I see why Kagome hates him," I commented. "He's such a dick."
"I agree."
I blushed. Oh god, we just agreed on something. It's the end of the world people! Don't panic. Grab your children and line up in an orderly fashion. Oh the heck with it. Run, bitch, run!
We arrived at the bus stop alone. This made it very awkward for the both of us especially me. I was so relieved that we didn't have to wait long for the big, yellow rolling turd. The doors opened and the bus driver gave us a questioning look. He was probably wondering why a dog demon was about to bored his bus and why I was currently handcuffed to him.
I literally had to push Sesshomaru up the steps. He was growling the whole time and yet he was the one who wanted to get this over with.
Everyone stared at us with their mouth's gapped open. The only problem was this 'everyone' was kids. Yes, the whole bus was filled with small seven to eleven year old kids. We had hopped onto the elementary school bus. Terrific. "Um, I think we go on the wrong bus," I said.
"You think," Sesshomaru growled.
I rolled my eyes turning to the bus driver. "Excuse me; I think we boarded the wrong bus. Can you let us off?"
"No problem, I'll just drop you off at the high school. Take a seat anywhere you want." The driver smiled. I guess he wasn't going to let us off.
We walked to the back of the bus, finding no empty seats besides the spots that were only occupied by one kid per seat. So I gave up and sat down beside some smiling nerdy kid with large glasses and a sinus infection. Sesshomaru, however, was seated beside some little girl in pink pig tails. She didn't look impressed. "Hey!" she screamed. "You sat on Miss Sally!"
Of course, the girl was talking about an imaginary friend and of course, Sesshomaru was not in the mood for playing. "What?" he asked obviously annoyed.
"You sat on Miss Sally!" she yelled. "And she was in the middle of eating her snack too!"
I giggled as Sesshomaru stood up, revealing a chocolate pudding stain on the back of his pants. "Silence Rin!" he growled.
"Brown isn't really your color, Takahashi," I giggled. Then I got the most brilliant idea imaginable. "Hey sweet heart how about, in return, you make my friend here look all pretty. He didn't have time this morning to do his hair."
"What?!"
The little girls face lit up in excitement. "I think that's a great idea. Miss Sally likes it too."
"No."
"Hey, you own her mister! You sat on her and your bum ate her snack."
Clearly Sesshomaru wasn't going to escape this one. The day just kept getting better and better. Well until I heard a loud sneeze beside me. Apparently little kids don't bother to cover their mouths when they sneeze. Wonderful.
"You're pretty," the kid said, wiping his nose with his hands.
Sesshomaru snickered. "Looks like someone as a little crush on you."
"Shut it Takahashi," I sneered.
"Do you want some," the kid offered, holding out some gummy worms full of snot in his hands. I gagged a little shaking my head quickly.
Finally the bus stopped in front of the high school. Thank god, because I didn't know how long I would've lasted beside Sneezy here. But I saw Sesshomaru; I forgot all about the kid and laughed hysterically at what I saw. I have to say the little girl and Miss Sally did a wonderful job on him. His hair was now covered in small braids tied back with small pink bows and butterfly clips stuck in his bangs. "Takahashi, love the new look," I laughed as we got off the bus. "I think the butterfly clips are my favorite. I never knew pink was your color."
I glanced back to his behind to see his jeans covered with chocolate pudding still. It looked like he had shit his pants. It was awesome.
I kept giggling as we walked into the school. The bell would go in ten minutes so the hallways were currently crowded with people. We walked to my locker, receiving confused stares our way. Yes people it's a pretty dog demon tied to a human, whoopty doo who cares. I pretty sure they were more interested on why we were handcuffed together since we were technically enemies.
Remember when I said if Google Earth were a guy, they wouldn't be able to find me unless I was dressed up as a ten story building? Well now they could find me if I was a crack on a sidewalk. And it was all because of Sesshomaru. I wonder what I really did at the party because I knew this wasn't just because I was handcuffed to him. Something happened, besides having sex with him. What did I do? Or another question would be what did Sesshomaru do?
When I closed my locker, Sesshomaru had taken out the braids and clips, throwing the accessories into the garbage. "Awe, why'd you take them out? It looked so good on you."
He growled again, and then I realized it wasn't me he was growling at but everyone else. They were laughing and it was all because of the brown stain on his ass. "Move along!" I yelled out to the immature people. I took his hand and dragging him to the girl's washroom. He struggled for a seconded at the entrance and I started at him mentally asking 'would you like to walk around with a brown patch on your ass for the rest of the day?' In the end, he gladly went inside.
I was happy when nobody was in the washroom at the moment. I locked the door making it safe, and took a wet piece of paper towel, rubbing it on his butt. He frozen and gave me a look. "Oh do you want to do it?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes and I kept going. "I didn't know how it felt," he said quietly.
"What do you mean?" no really I had no idea what he was talking about.
"The laughing and teasing, I heard what they were saying about me."
I stopped, realizing that he had gotten the same feeling he inflicted on most humans here as well as me. "So, I thought you didn't care what other's thought about you."
"I don't, I just had the feeling of…"
"Being hurt," I completed, standing up and walking around to him. His eyes were downcast. Wow, I had never in my life had seen him like this. What did people say that was so horrible to make him like this? It hurt me even to seem him like this. "Now you know how they feel when you do things to them."
"Do I ever make you feel this way?"
Was he actually asking me this? I couldn't believe it. "Are we having a moment here?" I asked, smiling. His eyes focused on mine, waiting for an actual answer. My smile disappeared. "Sometimes," I said, low.
His hand suddenly appeared on my cheek. I glanced up to see his face coming closer and closer to mine. I caved as I closed my eyes and waited. His soft lips pressed against mine carefully before bringing me closer and deepening the kiss. The shock of lightning erupted throughout my body. Seriously, was this going to happen every time I kissed him? I didn't matter because I loved it.
I don't know where this would've gone if the bell didn't ring seconds later. I pulled away blushing and biting my lip. "We should get to class," I whispered.
We entered the classroom seconds before the second bell rang, immediately receiving stares. We sat down beside each other, trying to keep it cool. Well I was keeping it cool, Sesshomaru however looked like he was about to snap.
"Psst, Rin," Kagome called. "You're still tied together?"
I nodded, tired.
"By the way, you were crazy at the party. I told you, you would enjoy it," she winked. "I still can't believe what happened."
Now I was definitely curious what happened. "What-" but I could finish my question because the teacher interrupted.
I tried to pay attention in class but all I could think about was what really happened at the party. I did get flashes but they were only about drinking more and more alcohol. Darn tequila.
When the bell rang I was yanked up from my seat and out the door in a rush. "Sess-I mean Takahashi, what are you doing?" Oops almost said his name. Big no, no. "Stop! What are you in a big rush for?" We arrived at my locker and I stood confused. "Look if you wanted to see my locker so much you could've just asked."
"Put your books in your locker and hurry," he hissed, low.
Yeah, no sorry buddy. I leaned against my locker waiting for him to talk. I wasn't going to do anything until he explains why he dragged my ass through the halls so fast. "I'm not doing anything until you explain what happened."
"Nothing," he answered in a low monotone voice.
"Nothing my ass. Spill it Takahashi."
"Look freakazoid, I don't need to explain anything to you."
I didn't move. There was no way I was going to do anything without an explanation. Too bad, so sad, tough cookies.
Then something horrible hit my ears. It sounded like a cat was dying, and then I knew it must've been Kagura. "Oh Sesshy!"
I smiled, "so that's why you're in a rush."
He didn't look too happy but hey when was he ever happy. In my defense I wasn't that all excited to see Kagura either. I spotted her walk up to us, her heels clapping on the floor with every step. Her smile creeped me out so much.
She stopped five feet away; paranoid about the fake disease she made up which I was pretty sure it was because of me. Don't ask. Long story short, she's seen where I've lived. "I see you're still tied with her." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"What do you want Kagura," he asked.
"I need to talk to you…" she glared at me again, "…privately."
"You are aware I am handcuffed to Rin therefore she is part of the package deal. You want to talk to me; you'll have to do it with her here."
"Fine," she said, walking around to Sesshomaru, trying not to get to close to me. My blood boiled when I saw her five hundred dollar manicure all over Sesshomaru. "I want to get back with you."
Pfft, I knew it. Now Sesshomaru will grab her and kiss her and then I'll crawl under a rock and die. "Did you not hear what I told you over the phone? What I told you at the party? We are done Kagura. Now leave." Or not.
"But you were drunk when you said those things. All of us were. Come one baby, come back to me."
Kagura made me want to hurl. How could Sesshomaru tolerate her all of these years? Crazy!
He pried her off. "I said no," he told her, his voice low and dangerous.
"It's because of her isn't it!" she shrieked. "You did slept with her and now you're in love with her!" she was about to slap him until his hand stopped her. I looked away, blushing deeply. I wish he was.
"Don't jump to conclusions Kagura. You know my reputation so you should've already known."
She pulled her hand away and shrieked again, narrowing her deep, red eyes at me. A chill ran up my spin as I watched her eyes fill with revenge. I couldn't believe I was saying this but I was afraid of her. Afraid of what she could do once I was free from Sesshomaru.
"Let's go to lunch Rin," he said, leading me to the cafeteria.
I was speechless for the next ten minutes. I couldn't even believe Sesshomaru and Kagura were over. The golden couple of the school were over. Can I say hallelujah?
Ayame of course stared at us when we sat down. But I can't blame her because we were staring at her. Well more like glaring, except for Sesshomaru he was super-glaring. If his glare could kill, Ayame would be long dead. "You two can keep staring at me all you wish, those handcuffs aren't coming off." She sighed heavily. "I called my mom and she said there's no other way to unlock the cuffs."
I glanced over at Sesshomaru just to catch a glimpse of red in his eyes. Oh I hope he doesn't do what he thinks he's going to do. I grabbed his thigh and squeezed it tightly. It was strange because it calmed him down instantly. "So we still have to wait 2-4 months?" I asked.
She nodded. We would be lucky if we were freed in two months. Just wait, it'll be six months later and we'll still be stuck together.
"So Rin how was the party? Didn't see you much when I was there," Ayame asked, clearly knowing something I didn't.
I eyed her carefully, wondering if she would tell. "I didn't even know you came. I don't even remember much. Why? What did you see?"
She shrugged. "Nothing, but you and Sesshomaru seemed to get quite cozy."
Did she know that I slept with Sesshomaru? Of course she knew I slept with Sesshomaru. Everyone in this whole school knew I slept with Sesshomaru. Heck I bet people in France knew I slept with him. But she knew something else.
"Tell me what happened," I demanded.
"Why don't you ask your new BF here," she grinned.
Sesshomaru looked confused, which meant he had no idea what 'BF' was. Typical demons. "He is not my BF!" I whispered.
"Sure looked like it at the party."
"You know what Ayame just…just be quiet. You don't even know what you're talking about."
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
Obviously she was pissed at me. Did I care? Of course! I hated when we fought, but she was the reason I was tied to Sesshomaru, so as much as I wanted to talk things out, I was too angry at her to even think. So I got up and made Sesshomaru follow me out.
I marched outside and to the large tree at the edge of the field, forgetting about the dangerous demon I was dragging with me. "Rin, enough!"
I huffed out and turned to him, anger filling my eyes and when I say anger I really mean tears. I was feeling horrible. I just wanted this stupid nightmare to end and every go back to normal. "You should've talked to her more," he said.
I couldn't even look him in the eye. "Who's side are you on!" I snapped.
"Nobody's side but my own, but because I am tied to you, I have to listen to two annoying girls talk."
"I'm glad you didn't know what BF stood for," I mumbled, hoping he wouldn't catch it.
But he's a dog demon so of course he caught it. "What? I'm not stupid Rin. I just don't talk girl."
"Good then you don't need to know why Ayame is being such a…a…"
"A bitch?"
"Exactly! I hate drama and our number one friendship rule is no drama! And what does she do? Cause drama!"
"Rin, it seems to me that Ayame isn't the one causing the drama."
"What are you saying," I looked him dead in the eye, "that I'm the one causing this stupid argument?"
He just stared at me silently but I understood.
"Shut up, Tahakashi!" I yelled.
"I'm just saying Rin. You're the one who left, not her."
Sesshomaru was right, for once, I did walk away from her. She's my best friend and had been with me through everything in my life and what do I do to repay her? Shut her up saying she didn't know what she was talking about. In truth, I guess I was too embarrassed to emit that she knew I slept with Sesshomaru because of his rep. Oh my god!
I growled in frustration and marched back inside, sitting back down at Ayame's table. This sucked because now Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were all sitting down. Now how was I supposed to have a 'private' conversation with her? Oh the hell with it! My conversation with anyone isn't 'private' not even my phone calls. That's right people. We are being watched.
So I looked at Ayame straight in the eye and start. "I'm sorry. I'm just so frustrated at everything that's going on in my life."
"No, no I'm sorry. It's my fault you're stuck with your worst enemy. It was bound to make you angry; I just wish I had the key."
"So you're not mad at me?"
"Rin, you're like my sister. We may bitch at each other but hey that's what sisters do."
Well I was glad that was over with. I would've hugged her but my hand was currently attached to another and it would've been very awkward.
"I'm glad. I know you were just protecting me."
"Anytime girl," she smiled.
Then I turned to Sesshomaru with a smile on my face. Must've creeped him out because he rose an eye brow at me and inched away. "Oh you aren't going anywhere. This is your fault I'm in the mood."
"Pardon?"
"It all makes sense!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The reason you took advantage of me. It's your entire fault I'm in this mood. If you didn't make me do something I didn't want to do, then I wouldn't be feeling this wave of anger. I was never angry at Ayame, I was angry with you. It's always been you."
He sighed. "Believe what you want Rin but just remember," he leaned close to my ear, "you like it."
As much as I wanted to slap him and make him feel like crap, I had a better way of handling things. So I gave him a big smile and leaned closer. "Then you won't mind coming to work with me tonight. You'll love it."
Oh yeah, this was going to be great.
