Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Sesshoumaru was sitting in the wooden bench at the front lawn, staring at the moon in the clear night sky. It's been a week now that he is living in the place where he is a stranger. He was never been a stranger before, all his life he was living in fame and fortune but now he have nothing.

He broke his trance when he heard a footstep headed towards him and he know who's the owner of that steps. "Rin." was all he said.

Rin just smile as he catches her again. "You know I might think that you have powers because you always catch me every time I try to sneak up on you." she said sitting next to him.

Sesshoumaru didn't look her as she sat down. "It's not good sneaking up on people."

"Sorry." after that there is a silence between them. It always like this every time they were together, they barely talk to each other, they only talk when she asked him a question and the rest is silence. But that's fine with her at least he let her accompany him, may be he will talk to her someday, it's not bad to give a try right? She sighs for she doesn't know if she can make Sesshoumaru talk to her like they are friends.

Sesshoumaru look at her from the corner of his eyes as Rin let out a sigh. He can't understand why she always keep him company even though they don't speak to much and why he didn't push her away or give her a cold glare. He always asked himself why he didn't all that things to her and why he doesn't mind her company, in fact he sometimes anticipated her company.

He broke out from his thought when he heard her speak. "You don't talk too much you know that?" Sesshoumaru didn't answer her. "I'll take that as a yes." she sighs.

"How are your ribs? Is still hurts?" she asked.

"Its fine, it doesn't hurt anymore since it's only a bruise ribs." he replied checking if it's still hurt.

"Good, then I guess you can help me tomorrow." this time Sesshoumaru look at her. "Help you in what?"

Rin give him a grin. "Well you said before that not everything is free right?" Sesshoumaru nodded. "Since you are okay and you can move your body without any hassle, you can help me now doing chores, let just say it is your payment for living here, besides" she added "it can help you exercise your muscle since you didn't move too much because of what happened to you, and its fun."

"Doing chores is not fun and a man like me doesn't have fun." he told her seriously.

Rin sigh again. "I assume you're a business man." Sesshoumaru look at her surprised. "Far as I know business man don't like having fun, all they do is work twenty for hours. Why is that?" she asked facing him.

"Because time is money and there's a lot of people have great expectation on you." he said seriously.

"Is business is really that important to you? That you don't have time to enjoy your self?"

"You don't understand; if you want to succeed fun is not an option." Sesshoumaru shook his head on why he even bothers to talk to her about this matter.

Rin just smiled. "May be I don't understand, but sometimes people need to have fun and be themselves. What about you when is the last time you have fun?" Rin look at him intently and saw a glimpse of sadness in his eyes. "It's okay you don't have to tell me."

Sesshoumaru lost in his thought in what he just said and didn't notice that Rin stand up. "You know you take things seriously. Why don't you lose your self sometimes?" Sesshoumaru look at her questioningly. " what I mean is that try to have fun, you know free your self, give your self a time to be who you are, at least here nobody will care what you do or what you are, just be your self." she said giving him her best smile. "So I'll see in the morning and ready yourself for the chores you will make tomorrow." without waiting for any reply Rin walk back inside the house with a smirk on her face to see what this man made up.

Sesshoumaru stay a little longer outside. He thought about what Rin have told him and he have to admit that she is right he have take things too seriously. "May be its not too late for me enjoy my self for once." he thought out loud. " After all I'm not at home, why not having fun while I'm here." he whispered pulling himself up from the bench and for the first time in seventeen years he tug a smile on his lips as he walk inside the house to rest.

"You still haven't found him yet?" InuTaisho asked Capt. Akashi at the phone. " I want you to check all the island in that area, I don't care if it may take a year all I want is for you to find my son!" he said almost lost his temper. "Search all Japan if you must captain." he said hanging up the phone.

He pinch the bridge of his nose as he slump in his chair. He was tired of hearing negative reports about his son, until now they still haven't found him yet. He just hopes him still alive for everyday he was losing hope finding him.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in." his wife Izayoi enter the room

"Have they found him yet?" she asked walking towards his husband.

"No." he replied relaxing at his wife touch as she massage his shoulder. "They better find him or else I could not forgive my self if I cannot bring him back safely." he said closing his eyes. "I promise her before she died that I will take care of Sesshoumaru and make him happy. I failed her once and I don't want to fail her again." Izayoi just comfort his husband for that's the only way she can do for now.

Kagura slump her body in her comfy couch aggravated because Sesshoumaru still missing and all her plan is gonna be ruined if they found him dead or they will stop searching for him and assumed that he is dead. Then a smirk form in her lips as an idea pop in her head. 'If they will found him before his birthday he can be mine easily.' She broke out from her thought when she heard a knock in her door.

When she opened the door her aggravated mood comes back as she faces her father Naraku in her doorstep.

"What are you doing here?" she asked icily.

"Is that how you will greet your father?" Naraku said smirking at her.

"What do you want?" still in her cold tone.

"To visit my daughter of coursed. Now be a good daughter and let you father inn." Kagura step aside to let him inn.

"What a nice pad you got here." Naraku complimented as he sit down in her couch. "Have they found Sesshoumaru yet?"

"No." was only her reply.

Naraku let out a small chuckle and relax himself at the couch. "You never changed Kagura. All this time you still haven't learned your lesson that no matter what you do you still can't have him."

"Sesshoumaru will be mine and I'll make sure of that." she snarled at him and Naraku just laughed at her. "Kagura, Kagura, Kagura, Kagura, my dear Kagura, you are just fooling yourself. Did you really believe that Sesshoumaru will take you as his wife?"

"He has no choice but to marry me for he cannot take over his father's company if he can't find a wife before his birthday and I'll make sure I am the one he will marry." she said sternly. "And once that happened I am richer than you father."

Naraku shook his head and stood up from the couch. "Suit yourself, but I'm warning you if my partnership with the Takeshi's will be cut because of your foolishness, you know what will happen to you Kagura." Naraku warn her in his cold voice that makes her shiver in fear.

Kagura nodded her head unable to talk every time his father use that tone. "Good." was all he said and walk towards the door.

When she heard the door closed Kagura let out a heavy sigh. "I will have him and I will have the last laughed father." she said with venom.
