Second Encounter- Café Lapetio

"Excuse me miss, this coffee is warm, can you warm it up?" A woman with blonde hair asked, her bright red-lipstick made her lips puff out by the amount. Her eyes were light blue as she smiled, her teeth like the sun's rays.

"Oh, yes, please hold on,"

"HEY LADY, WHERE'S MY DOUGHNUT!" A man cried, his chubby body was barely stable in the chair. A mustache lined his lips and formed a goatee.

"Hai sir, be right there!" Rin smiled cheerfully, she raced to the kitchen, the woman's mug in hand, she placed it in the microwave and rushed to a rack of doughnuts, she grabbed a chocolate covered one and took out the coffee mug.

"Rin-chan, you've been slacking," Said a brunet-haired woman crossing her arms smiling weakly.

"I know, I'm sorry Eian-chan," Rin said sadly giving the woman her coffee and giving the obese man his doughnut before standing numbly beside her friend.

Eianaka leaned against the counter and looked at Rin questionably," What's on your mind Rin?" She asked.

"Oh it's nothing…" Rin laughed nervously.

"No, it's not nothing, it's something, now tell me." Snapped Eianaka, she was hot-tempered.

"Oh alright, there was this man last night, these two snake-like humans tried to rape me and that man came like a knight in shining armor! He gave me no name but left with my heart…" Rin said laughing.

"WHAT YOUR OKAY RIGHT," Eianaka said flinging her arms into the air.

"Yes of course, all thanks to him," Rin giggled.

"Oh I see, and what did that man look like?" Eianaka said grinning.

"He looked like that guy, except with silver hair, gold eyes, and sexy teeth," Rin blushed as she pointed at Sesshomaru (he's in his human form).

Eianaka leaned against the counter laughing her lungs out," Well, interesting description, and that guy is definitely hot…maybe that guy is his brother," Eianaka said winking.

"Maybe, I'm done for the day; I'll make it up tomorrow!" Rin agreed. She ran into the bathroom and brushed out her hair, pulled it back and put it up with a hair clip. She took off her cafe top and revealed a snug black t-shirt that had a white chibi-fox with hot pink eyes on it and on the back, in hot pink letters it said,' Just a bit Foxy,' she changed into jeans and put on a studded-belt and she put some chap-stick on her lips and slipped on some black high-heels. She had her own way of dressing.

She walked out, shoving her café clothes into a bag and tossing the bag behind the counter. She walked smoothly over to the Sesshomaru's table and asked sweetly," Um, hello, sir, I was wondering, do you have a brother with silver hair?"

Sesshomaru looked up from reading his paper, the top-story read "Woman murdered mysteriously," He saw a woman stand before him, it was the girl he saved earlier. She was talking about him…atleast the demon side of him, he thought coldly about either telling her either,

"Yes."

"That's me."

"No,"

He opened his mouth and said," No," He played the icy-roll and looked back down at his newspaper.

Rin sighed sadly and said," Oh, okay…arigato." She then turned and walked back to Eianaka.

"Sooooo…" Eianaka said smiling.

"No," Rin frowned.

"Aw, that's too bad, maybe you'll see him on streets or something, for now, take it easy and go rest, you need to make it up tomorrow," Eianaka smiled.

"Yeah, okay, thanks for worrying," Rin said hugging her friend before walking outside. The spring breeze blew her hair to the side till she turned to face," I'm going home," She decided aloud, walking her way towards the small home.

When she got there she knocked on the door before opening it. She saw her older brother, Jaken sleeping on the couch, his present girlfriend Shiori laying on him, Rin was glad they were dressed at least. She threw her hair piece at his face and watched him sit up, the woman on him falling off the couch. She broke out into laughter.

The blue hair women stood up immediately, her purple eyes glaring at Jaken," We're through!" She stormed out the door.

"God damn it Rin, she was my favorite!" Jaken complained angrily.

Rin laughed before watching her brother join in. Actually, Jaken wasn't really her brother, when she was young 5 or 6, she was dumped at his parent's door, and Jaken was 10. They took her in and took care of her…till 5 years ago, Jaken's parents died. Jaken was like a brother to her so she stayed and they bared the pain together. Now, Jaken was 23, and she was 18.

The Simi-muscled man stood in a black t-shirt and baggy black pants. His green hair was ruffled and his pupils were black slits…she didn't know exactly why but she didn't ask. Jaken yawned and stretched himself out," So, you didn't return till late last night…why?" He asked.

"I got lost," She grinned.

"That's not all, when you came home, you smelt like sweat, sex, and forest…"Jaken protested.

"I was almost raped but I guy saved me," Rin smiled, backing up to the stairs that led her to her room.

"YOU ALMOST WHAT," Jaken squawked. He ran forth and blocked the stairs," Who did it and who saved you?"

"Some snake people and a silver-haired guy, "Rin laughed nervously.

"Snake people you say…be more careful Rin, you can get hurt, you're lucky that man saved you…" Jaken said moving out of her way.

Rin looked at Jaken before nodding slowly, she noticed the sunset was already here and smiled. The phone rang and she grabbed it in lightning speed," Moshi Moshi," She greeted.

"Hey Rin! Aya-chan and I are going to Shukunami's party, you coming?" A girl on the other line asked.

"Uh, lemme ask," she removed the phone from her face and covered it with her hand," Nii-san, may I go to Ikata's party?"

"Who's Ikata?" Jaken asked leaning against the door way.

"Ikata is Aya- chan's boyfriend, he's my friend." Rin explained smiling.

"Fine, but be home by 1." Jaken commanded.

"Hai," She put the phone back against her ear and said," Yup! Can you come pick me up though?" She asked, just then Jaken said," No Rin, I will take you…"

Rin looked at him confused but said," Never mind, I'll be there, bye!"

"Bye Rin-Chan!" The girl said before hanging up.

"Why are you taking me Nii-san?" Rin asked curiously.

"Just being nice," Jaken lied grinning, her led Rin to his motorcycle and climbed on, Rin got on too. He started it, and then began the ride to Ikata's.

Sesshomaru got up and left just 10 minutes after Rin left. He got in his car and listened to his cell ring. He picked it up and heard Kagura's voice on the other end.

"Sesshomaru, there's a file on your desk, I want you to read it…NOW!" She snapped.

"Sure," He shrugged driving to the office.

"Say yes!" Kagura demanded.

"No," He hung up on her. Pulling into the parking lot he turned off the silver mustang and entered the office, he saw two files on his desk, along with a message from Kagura.

The front of it said," Read after you look through your file." He snorted and picked up the first file closest to him. He was amazed at what he saw.

Name: Rin Uzumaki

Age: 18

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Black

School: Kyoto East High School

Assassin level (PREDICTION ONLY): Code Blue

Blood: O+

Race: unknown

Side notes: Inhuman blood runs through her though scientists are unsure of what it is. It supposedly gives her demonic capabilities, though she will keep her human appearance.

Her present school picture was paper-clipped to the file. He threw the file down and read the note Kagura left.

"Dear Asshole,

Rin is your next assignment; your job is to awaken her assassination powers. It is unknown how so try your best. You will be with her for a year, if her powers do not awaken by then, force will have to be used. My new assassin partner is Rin's age, they should make great friends, who knows, maybe even their own assassin group. This assignment is not optional. She will be given an assassin name, when her powers awaken, you must give it to her. It is "Deadly Rose". The way to bring her to you at first is to kill her guardian and burn her house; you will then move in and offer your protection. Till later.

-Kagura"

Sesshomaru growled but put the sticky-note down, it was bad enough that she wouldn't leave his head, but now they would be partners…and what's worse is he'd have to offer his home, and grabbing his hand gun he loaded it then looked out to see the moon full and bright. The drug wore off and now left him bare to the world as a demon. He knew his next job, murder the one who protected her,' Damn job…' He cursed angrily. Jumping out the window he glided across the sky then began his hopscotch across the buildings.

Jaken dropped Rin off at Ikata's party but hung around for a bit, his eyes watching the skies,' Demons…like me…are targeting her…but why?' Never before had demons targeted humans since just recently. It was unsure why; maybe they didn't inject their power eliminators in. He felt uneasy as he felt the sudden rush of adrenalin pulse through him," Crud," He snapped getting on his bike and riding back to the house, by now, he was the pudgy imp he'd always been, he slightly liked this form, but at the same time he hated it. He knew he was venerable in this form; he was short, slightly fat, and worst of all unarmed. The sudden noise of footsteps that only demons could hear caused him to panic. Backing into the darkness he watched the door creak open, there stood a well-built, silver-haired beauty. His demonic markings made him look like a fantasy. His yellow eyes spotted out Jaken in no time.

Sesshomaru got there in a matter of minutes, his target was a man named Jaken, by time Sesshomaru got there, he realized Jaken was a demon…her protector was a demon? He put away his gun and opened the door to the room in silence, there in the closet was a forest green form, he was an imp demon. His golden eyes stared at Sesshomaru fearfully," Rins protector is a demon," He said coldly.

Jaken said nothing, he simply bowed to the floor," Please spare my life…for Rin's sake," He begged.

Sesshomaru began to growl angrily," But you see, that's just it…I have to kill you…for Rin's sake…you know, she is a very dangerous cause to this world...don't you."

"Yes, but she means no harm, as long as her demon is not awaken, she will be fine," Jaken said lowly.

"But her demon will be awakened, by me…or the DAI. It is better that she awaken with a Code Red level demon around, then humans or even a low imp demon like yourself," Sesshomaru stated.

Jaken sighed," I suppose your right…and in order to bring her to you, you must kill me…did you save her…she fantasizes about you. She couldn't stop talking about you on the way to Ikata's party. She said you were a sexy hero, she said she even wanted to have-" Jaken was cut off by the sudden shout of Sesshomaru.

"STOP IT," His eyes glowed red with anguish, he knew even if she did want him, and eventually he wanted her which would never happen, they couldn't be together. This was strictly business, nothing more. His gun resurfaced to his hand as he pulled back the lock (or whatever it's called) and pointed it at Jaken's bald head.

"So you did save her…I thank you greatly for that…tell Rin I-"The bullet seared into his head, blood ran down, causing his green skin to blend red.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and put away the gun," Now to burn the house…" He took a match from his pant-pocket and set flame to the wooden home. He couldn't allow Rin to wander the world wondering where Jaken was so he pulled out the carcass and looked away, his eyes looking away from the fire and the body. He took one stride before jumping into the wind,' So you did save her…So you did save her…So you did save her…' The words rung clearly in Sesshomaru's mind," Yes I did…damn it."

Rin walked into the party dressed in a black mini-skirt and a white blouse that was buttoned ¾ of the way down. She wore a black cami-bra under it and a silver necklace with a heart with a red shatter mark through it, her black hair was down loose and she wore black high-heels again and a black-choker. Ayame got to her first before the others," Rin-Chan!" The blonde-haired girl tackled her friend before pausing for a short hug," Hey Rin," Said a boy behind her, it was Ikata.

"Hello Aya-Chan, nice to see you Ikata-san," Rin said briefly hugging Ikata before looking to Ayame," Where's Eian-chan and Rhianna?" Rin asked curiously.

"They haven't come yet, now come, I have some hot guys to show you!" Ayame was always one to encourage love, not like that was a bad thing or anything, but Rin wasn't up to one yet. Besides, her heart was already taken, by her savior…the silver-haired wonder. Rin followed reluctantly.

"Don't worry; they aren't all that bad…" Ikata smiled.

Rin just giggled.

Ayame showed her some random people till one man came through the door; he came in silently, his golden eyes searching for one person particularly.

Rin was the only who noticed him, it was the same person who saved her…but why was he here? Was he looking for her? But why, was he crazy about her like she was of him? She shook away the thought,' Maybe one of Ikata's friends?' She continued to follow her friend till Ayame noticed the man," Oh Rin, what a hunk, never met 'em but I'm sure if you put on your best romance act…you could capture him!"

Rin rolled her but felt Ayame shove her forth, causing her to run right into Sesshomaru, loose her balance and almost fall, till two strong arms caught her," I am so sorry, my friend she-"

"It's alright." Sesshomaru said,' be more seductive…if I can assure her my protection then I'll awaken her spirit and shit in no time.' Sesshomaru thought coldly.

Rin blushed before standing up straight, her eyes looking into his golden ones, searching," Um, I never got to thank you for last night…so um….arigato." She whimpered.

"Your welcome," Just then, the roar of fire trucks caused him to smirk and turn around,' they are here and my plan is set to work.

This caused all the people inside to rush out and see what was wrong, Rin raced out behind Sesshomaru, her eyes began to gloss over with tears after she realized what was on fire," NII-SAN!" She screamed running past the caution tape, Sesshomaru followed protectively.

Police and firemen tried to stop her but Sesshomaru simply bared his fangs and hissed," Let her go…" They released her.

Rin ran crying to the burning house, she fell to the ground at her dead brother's side, tears only causing the blood to run further. She wrapped her arms around his bloody figure and smothered her head into his chest.

Sesshomaru bended down and put a hand on her shoulder, he said nothing except looked away.

"Who would do such a thing…?" Rin asked bitterly. Her eyes foamed over with hatred as she lay her brother down and stood up. Tears still ran down her cheeks as she looked up to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru's eyes softened as he felt something break within his heart,' She won't be much of an assassin,' He thought. Sesshomaru stood up and knew he had to do something comforting, so opening out his arms; he offered his chest for her tears.

She gladly accepted, rushing into his arms she hugged him, even though she barely knew this guy! Yet she seemed to feel safe enough to hug him…strange. She pulled away smiling weakly," Thank you sir," She said bowing," Well, I suppose the social worker will be coming soon to pick me up and take me to an orphanage," She said slowly, she was fearful, she didn't want to go…ever since she'd seen the movie "Annie" she'd been terrified of the place.

Just then, a woman dressed in a nice blouse with a navy jacket over it and a grey skirt," Rin Uzumaki?"

"Yes ma'am," Rin said softly.

"If you would please come with me, it seems you have no profile or wording of any other close relatives or friends," The lady said coldly.

"There seems to be a mistake, I am her guardian now, Jaken Uzumaki put me in charge of her, he said someone was coming for him soon, he didn't give me details, but apparently he got into something he shouldn't have…but I do not know for sure," He said smartly.

Rin looked confused at Sesshomaru but looked to the social worker," He is my uncle,"

The social worker raised an eyebrow but nodded, she wrote down something before looking at Sesshomaru, her eyes revealing a pinkish color behind some sunglasses she wore…it was Kagura, playing the act of a social worker?

Sesshomaru glared at her, his eyes flashing red before she pushed up her sunglasses and kicked him in the shin as she turned around to leave.

"Tell me, why did you lie and say that?" Rin asked gently.

"It is true…all accept the uncle part and of course me moving in, now come, my house is this way…" He said turning around and walking forth.

Ayame gave thumbs up and a nervous smile. Ikata just smiled. The two were slightly worried for their friend but saw only protection in Sesshomaru's unreadable eyes.

Rin smirked at her friend but caught up with Sesshomaru. This was going to be the start of something mysterious, uncomfortable, and just plain weird...

So, like the second chapter? I forgot to mention that this story is plotted from "The Regenerist" but has a twist of my own
