RE-CAP:
" Inuyasha...are you afraid of me?" Rin asked a lil curious with the horrified look on her face. He honestly didn't know how to answer her.
" Who wouldn't be a little scared of your temper Rin." Kenji said calmly, " You are too precious to us not to be scared for you, and any poor soul that crosses you my dear...come on get changed so i can take you home. Kagome and Sango are down at the bar."
Rin looked around the room at the destruction she caused and nodded going into her closet to get changed. In the matter of minutes she came out in a black halter top and blue jeans that hugged her hips, and three inch black heel boots. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun and followed Kenji and Inuyasha downstairs. She hated when all eyes were on her, she even caught Sesshomaru looking at her with interest. It disgusted her knowing that her friend was looking at her like she was a piece of meat that he wanted. Never did he look at her like that when she was in her human form.
Chapter 2:
Several days had passed since she lost her temper at the club. Kenji had refused to let her work during her vunerable days. Tonight was the last night of weakness before she could transform back into her human chipper self. Rin had talked Bankotsu into persuading Kenji to let her work tonight. He really didn't want to do it, but he had to inorder to keep rin from turning all seductive on him. Bankotsu walked quickly out of rin's apartment heading in the direction of the club. He knew kenji will hit the fan when he hears how desperate rin has gotten to get out of her apartment. Just as that thought passed Bankotsu's cell phone starts ringing, "Hello"
" Ban, where are you? you said you would be here 2 hours ago." Kenji said displeased.
" Well...uh...Rin called me and needed to talk to me." Bankotsu started to explain.
" Oh no...i'm afraid to ask...takes deep breath ok what did the temptress do. "
" She almost tried to seduce me into letting her work tonight. i told her i will go talk to you about it..."
"No...No...No... i will not have her out where there are male youkai that will want to take advantage of her."
" Hmmm...i'd say give the vixen what she wants on one condition...have you behind the bar with her...if she doesn't like it she doesn't go."
" Ban, i knew i'd liked you for some reason...great plan...turn around and go bring the vixen to me."
" Gotcha...see you in 20 minutes then." Bankotsu said turning around heading back to rin's apartment.
About 3 hours later in marches an unhappy Rin. Bankotsu had told her the plan and of course she didn't like it but had agreed to put up with the fox for a night. Rin seen jakotsu at the bar stocking the alcohol, and asked him where kenji was. " What no, hi Jak it's great to see you..i missed you soo much...i'm hurt vixen. i thought we were pals...girlfriends..." Jakotsu pouts.
"i'm sorry Jak, i really did miss you. we will have to go shopping soon...just us girls." Rin smiled walking around the bar giving Jakotsu a hug and kiss on the cheek.
" Ok, if shopping is involved i forgive you. Kenji-kun is upstairs in the office waiting for you." Jakotsu shooed Rin in the direction of the elevator.
Kenji had been indeed waiting for Rin to grace him with her presence. Her cheerful mood went cold the moment she stepped off of the elevator. He had always hated when she gave him that cold look. It's like she purposely turned her heart to ice. If she would of had long silver hair she would of been the female version of Sesshomaru. Kenji thought that was a little creepy, he was going to have to limit her access with Sesshomaru. He is starting to rub off on her.
" Kenji...why must you be behind the bar with me." Rin demanded an answer.
" Well temptress...it lets me keep a very close eye on my pride and joy. You know if Fern was here she would of done more...so i am not that bad. It just shows how much i care for my little moonlight. " Kenji said approaching Rin.
The mention of Kenji's sister Fern brought tears to Rin's eyes. It was her fault that kenji lost his little sunshine sister.
FLASH BACK
It was a clear moon lit sky, Rin and Fern were playing in Rin's room care free. They were engrossed in their game when the warning siren went off that the palace was being invaded. Kenji had rushed into the room to get both of the girls out of there. It was too late to leave out the bedroom door, the invasion happened faster than expected.
" Kenji...Rin...quickly through here...i'll meet up with you later...now hurry!" Fern said opening the secret door
" Fern i'm not leaving without you, i'm suppose to take care of both you and Rin..." Kenji said trying to pull Fern through the passage with him.
" Kenji...go...i have to seal the door. I will be fine...it has been my job to help keep the enchantress safe...she needs you right now. You are a strong youkai, she will be safer with you more than she would with me." Fern smiled hugging her big brother goodbye.
" Fern!!!!! NO!!!!!" Rin screamed as Kenji threw her over his shoulders carrying Rin to safety.
" Be safe my lady." Fern whispered before sealing the door.
END OF FLASHBACK
I'm sorry Kenji...it's all my fault...i'm soo sorry you lost Fern cause of me." Rin broke down crying.
"No sweety...it wasn't your fault. Fern loved you soo much that she was willing to risk her life to save yours...the ones that invaded the palace are at fault princess not you. " Kenji said hugging Rin tightly, " Please stop crying vixen...it breaks my heart everytime i see you cry."
" I'm sorry to always cause you trouble...but when we open could you stand by the opening of the bar and not stand by me...i need room to move around and not have you hover. Deal."
"Deal."
So when the club opened Kenji kept his word and allowed Rin her space. He only had to growl twice to warn off a male who tried to reach over the bar to grab Rin. What he didn't expect was to see Sesshomaru act like one of those love struck males.
"Hi." Sesshomaru said as sexy as he could get his voice.
"Hi, what can i get ya." Rin said annoyed.
"How about your name and number." Sessh tried again.
" How about you tell me what drink you want or i'll throw you out of my bar." Rin growled. Sesshomaru looked at her trying to see if she was bluffing, but decided not to push her buttons any further. She looked like the type of demoness that could take care of herself.
" Fine, i'll have that demoness punch thing." Sesshomaru said, " Hey...do you know if Rin Juno is working tonight?"
" No, she isn't. Why do you ask?" Rin looked at Sesshomaru curiously.
" She's a friend of mine, and i have to appologize for making her mad several nights ago."
" Oh...well i bet she will like that." Rin smiled at Sesshomaru before walking away to serve another customer.
Sesshomaru watched this mysterious demoness show off behind the bar entertaining her customers as she worked. When it seemed like she finally had a minute or two to herself she made herself a demoness punch. This was one of the few times she could drink a strong liquor without any effects. If she'd drink while in human form, she wouldn't be able to concentrate and transform back into a demon. She chugged down 4 demoness punches before Kenji thought to intervene, " Hey temptress...don't ya think you should slow it down a bit. We don't need a drunk bartender."
" Kenji...refrain from calling me temptress it makes me sound slutty...i like vixen better." Rin glared at Kenji.
" Yes, V...i'll remember that...but your cut off as of...NOW." Kenji said taking Rin's drink away and drinking it. He couldn't understand why she insist on drinking that nasty demoness punch.
Rin stood there letting her velvet coated laugh out at the faces Kenji was making after drinking her drink. Before she knew it Kenji was running to the bathroom. Knowing Kenji would intervene she made the drink he took extra strong. He will be out of commission for the next hour or so. She was pulled from her thoughts by catching the stare of Sesshomaru.
" What..." Rin looked at him annoyed.
" Huh, nothing...you just look like some one i know...have we met before?" Sesshomaru asked curiously. 'she looks alot like rin...it's a lil creepy...1 rin in the world was enough but 2 rin's...the world wouldn't be safe.'
" No...i remember all the creeps i meet...and i can tell you now we have never met. your just wishing we had met somewhere. now if you excuse me i have places to go, and creeps to avoid." Rin said waving Sango over to take over the bar.
Right now rin just had to get away and be alone in the night air. she knew she was going to be able to transform again soon and she didn't want to be around anyone when her powers came back. She walked a couple blocks down the street to the Park. It was a very calming place at night, the moon light lit the whole park up. it looked so enchanting, almost like her garden back at the palace. The clouds began to part revealing a pearly white moon. Rin felt her powers returning to her, the markings on her face were finally revealed. the blue cresant moon with a start cradled within the cresant appeared on her forehead, and a single baby blue stripe on each side of her cheek. The enchantress glided over to the lake looking at her image, she was pleased at how much she has grown. She looked alot like her mother with the way her green eyes sparkle. With one last look followed by a sigh, Rin closed her eyes and focused her energy re-creating her disguise. what she didn't realize was that her scent had changed from lavender to smelling like sakura blossoms.
"Rin???...is that you?" a familiar yet unsure voice slowly approached.
" I'm here Kouga." Rin waved him over. She was a little worried at the look Kouga was giving her, "Kouga...what's wrong?"
" Your scent is different...are you ok?" Kouga stared at her curiously walking around her making sure she wasn't injured or whatever.
"i'm fine...what do you mean my scent is different."
"you usually smell of lavender, but now you smell of sakura blossoms."
Rin's eyes got wide and did the only thing she knew. She ran away from Kouga, running blindedly unknown to where she was running to. Sesshomaru was heading to his car when he seen rin run past the club. He couldn't tell if someone was chasing her or not, acting on instinct he growled and chased after Rin. He will be damned if anybody was going to harm his Rin. It took Sesshomaru a little while to catch up to Rin. For a human she ran extremely fast that Sesshomaru had to use his demonic speed to get close enough to grab her.
" Rin!...Stop!" Sesshomaru yelled grabbing ahold of her arm making her stop.
" Let me go!!!!...Let me GO NOW!" Rin screamed.
"Rin...Rin...it's Sessh!...it's ok no one is going to hurt you. i'm here...i won't let nothing happen to you." Sesshomaru shook Rin making her look up at him.
" Sessh..." Rin teared up...and just collapsed against her friend. She just cried and clung to him for dear life. She ran from Kouga, one of her protectors, because she got scared. now she was here with sesshomaru, her really good friend...clinging to him as if begging for him to make everything go away.
"Rin...are you alright?" Sesshomaru whispered in her ear, holding her tightly against him. he felt rin stiffen at the question.
" why do you ask." Rin asked a little scared.
" you were running as if the devil himself was at your heels, and by the way you looked when i caught up to you. so look at me and answer my question." sesshomaru said seriously looking at her tear stained face.
" i'm fine...i ran from Kouga. Something spooked me and i ran from him...i knew he wasn't going to hurt me...i don't know why i ran from him.."
Sesshomaru knew she wasn't lying...but she wasn't telling the whole truth either. He would leave it be for now, but he will question Kouga about it later. For now he was going to keep Rin with him, this way he knows she is safe. Rin looked content snugged in his shirt, she wore herself out from all of that running and crying. Sesshomaru gently picked Rin up walking back to his car, and driving to his house.
