DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING BELONGING TO INUYASHA. I ONLY OWN MY LAPTOP AND THE CLOTHES ON MY BACK.

RE-CAP:

" Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a hanyou. You should be addressing us formally. You work for my mother, and I am demanding respect. If you can't show this family respect then you don't need to be here." Inuyasha growled.

" EXCUSE ME!!….your right I work for your mother…not you! Your mother has already set the rules for me Inuyasha. She already gave me permission not to address her formally. I may be Hanyou, but I don't tolerate youkai that have a silver spoon shoved up their ass. I will be more than happy to help you get it out. Hn. I wonder how your going to treat your children when your mate gets pregnant. Will you treat them the same way you are treating me inuyasha. If you do….then you don't deserve to have children." Rin said walking into her room slamming the door shut.

Chapter: 3

It was late in the afternoon when Rin entered the kitchen. Cookie could tell something was wrong, but not sure if she should ask or not. Rin silently sat down at the breakfast bar grabbing a muffin picking at it. After her seventh time sighing cookie decided to speak up, " Ok…what's wrong and don't give me 'it's nothing'."

" Hn. I was reminded that I am nothing but a good for nothing hanyou. That is all I will ever be is a good for nothing hanyou." Rin muttered.

" Tell me who called you that and I will knock them out…Rin…you are a very talented young lady. Hanyou, youkai, or even human…no one will ever be able to take away the talent you have. Just wait and see…sooner or later those who have talked down to you will be wishing they were nicer to you. You will be treated as if you were a youkai. Plus if I catch any one doing that to you I am going to let them starve." Cookie said hugging Rin.

" Well then you might want to not feed Inuyasha then. That hypocrite is going to be one of those who eat their words." Rin stated

" master inuyasha talked down to you. With a human mate…he talked down to you…I thought me and the lady raised him better than that. Looks like I am going to have to go after him like I did to Sesshomaru." cookie sighed letting go of Rin to return to her cooking.

" well here is your chance…I hear lord cranky pants coming down now." Rin said going to the fridge for some cream cheese.

Inuyasha came into the kitchen seeing Rin raid the fridge. He snarled making a sly comment, " looks like we have a pest problem in the kitchen…eating all the food."

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

Inuyasha didn't know what hit him. Rin turned around after hearing the first 3 whacks to see Cookie beating the shit out of inuyasha with a rolling pin. The look on Cookie's face reminded her of the character jiggly puff from her favorite TV show pokemon, only extremely pissed off. Rin couldn't help herself but to cover her mouth with her hands as she laughed hysterically. It was soo flippin funny. It took inuyasha 10 minutes to recover from his severe beating to notice the broken rolling pin on the table.

" What the hell Cookie. Did you have to break the rolling pin over my head." Inuyasha whined gently touching the big bump on his hard ass head.

" Hmmm Yes I did have to break my good rolling pin over your head. I had to knock some sense into you boy. I know me and your mother raised you better. I will not tolerate you disrespecting Rin. This young lady has done more for your mother than you have. She has even gained the respect of your brother after I educated him on it. I hope I don't have to give you another lesson about respecting others." Cookie growled a most threatening growl she has ever done. Inuyasha has never saw her this mad before. He really didn't want to piss off the only person who knows how to make his ramen extra good.

" I'm sorry Cookie…." Inuyasha whimpered.

" You need to apologize to Rin or I am not making you any ramen." Cookie said waving her wooden spoon.

" Rin……I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry." Inuyasha choked out.

" uh huh….just know that pay backs are a bitch." Rin smirked leaving the kitchen, heading out to the garden.

Out in the garden

Kagome sat on a bench near the fountain watching the birds splash around the water. She couldn't help but to think about that girl Rin she had met. Inuyasha really did over react and shouldn't of said what he did. But Rin did have a point…Did inuyasha really not like hanyou? would he not love his children because they were half and half? Kagome hoped that he was just over reacting to Rin's cockiness about cramming the muffin down his throat. Which by the way was funny. They were acting like they were brother and sister. Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of some one approaching.

" Good Afternoon Lady Kagome." Rin said not meaning to startle the human woman.

" Good Afternoon Miss Rin. Please don't call me lady." Kagome smiled.

" ok Kagome…please don't call me miss…just Rin is fine." Rin smiled warmly.

" I am sorry for Inuyasha behavior last night. It was uncalled for. He shouldn't have said what he said." Kagome said attempting to apologize.

" There is no need for you to apologize for what your mate has done. You don't take the blame…ok. Plus you missed the severe beating Cookie, the cook, gave him for starting his shit this morning. She broke her good rolling pin." Rin laughed.

Kagome busted out laughing startling Rin. Kagome could imagine a rolling pin breaking on Inuyasha hard head. Rin joined in on her laughter. It was good to hear Kagome relax around her. It must have been hard for Kagome to come to a house of powerful dog demons, being only human with or without miko powers. If the family didn't like her than she knew Inuyasha wouldn't be able to stop them from removing her from Inuyasha life. Rin stared at Kagome for a minute before deciding that she would of probably helped Inuyasha defend Kagome from the family if necessary. She seemed like a wonderful person to be around once she started to relax of course. Kagome caught Rin staring at her and curiously asked, " Rin… what are you thinking about?"

" Huh…oh sorry I was thinking about how nice it is to see you finally starting to relax. You were soo quiet last night I thought you didn't really have any life in you. I hope we can be friends. I know it will be nice to talk to some one…not that talking to the cook isn't nice…but I would hate for the woman to go gunning down every person who I am having problems with. She is like an over protective mother. Not always the best person to talk to if you catch my drift." Rin said taking a seat next to Kagome.

" I understand. I would like to have a friend as well. Being new to a place like this surrounded by youkai. It gets to be a lil intimidating. Plus we all know Inuyasha can only be dealt with in small portions. I love my mate to death…but he can be annoying at times too. Just promise me that I can run away to your room if I ever need to escape him." Kagome winked.

" No problem. And if lord cranky pants tries to barge in I will call Cookie to take care of him." Rin laughed.

" Sounds like fun. I might have to go out and buy her more rolling pins. And a camcorder so we can film the next time she gets all steamed up. It won't hurt Inu-kun much. After all he does have a hard head." Kagome said innocently.

"Wow and I thought I was evil. Inuyasha doesn't know what he is in for with you for his mate." Rin giggled.

" lets just say it is his punishment for anything he might do wrong in the near future."

" sounds good to me."

The girls stayed out in the garden for several hours talking about the different ways to punish inuyasha. They were having fun just coming up with the scenarios. Not that kagome would ever intentionally hurt the man she loved, but there are times that he needed a little attitude adjustment. Rin and kagome also talked about their families, and friends. They found out they had a mutual friend, Sango. Kagome use to go to school with Sango. It was nice that Kagome new Rin's adopted big sister, and kagome declared to be Rin's adopted sister as well. After hearing Rin's sad story all kagome wanted to do was to protect Rin, even though Rin could clearly protect herself. Just hearing how hard both Rin and Sango fought to get where they are today. It was heart breaking.

"Rin…can I ask you a question?" Kagome asked breaking the silence.

" Umm sure what is it?" Rin asked a little nervous.

" I know it's none of my business…but…well what is up with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha told me what a cold hearted bastard he is. And how much he despises humans, and hanyou. I noticed last night he tried to keep up his cold front but when he looked over at you he would slip up and show emotions. Is there something going on with you and Sesshomaru?"

" NO! Inuyasha put you up to this didn't he. That asshole. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

" no no no. inuyasha didn't put me up to anything. I am just curious. Did you see how he reacted when koga kept being all touchy feely with you. He looked like a jealous lover."

"Sesshomaru doesn't own me. I have not slept with or even kissed Sesshomaru. I am not attracted to Sesshomaru. He is just another youkai who rather see me as a sexy demoness barely worth the rut. Youkai only want me for my looks. I only look like a full blooded demoness. As soon as they smell my scent they don't want anything else to do with me. They try to get me in bed with them just for a quick rut. Male youkai are assholes and I rather die single with my dignity still intact, than to die a whore who was just pushed aside. I rather not even know what it is like to be in love…it will save me heartache." Rin said turning away from Kagome.

Both of them were unaware that some one was listening to them. Due to the heavy floral scent in the garden it masks all the scents. Some one could sneak up on you and slit your throat and you wouldn't know until it was too late. This visitor was a friend…his wide eyes held shock to what Rin had said. 'No wonder Rin won't let anyone get close…Huh…it's a good reason too. I guess Rin will have to put up with me then.' kenji smirked to himself. He decided to play big brother. It seemed no matter where Rin went in that estate someone was willing to protect her. Well maybe not the maids or inuyasha, but still some one was there to protect Rin. After hearing some more Gossip Kenji thought to make himself known, " Hey vixen, is that you I hear?"

" Kenji?? Where are you?" Rin stood up on the bench looking around.

" Right here." Kenji said coming out of the maze, "What you ladies up to?"

" we were just chatting Kenji….ok how much did you hear you nosey fox." Rin hopped off the bench with her hands on her hips.

" Rinny…would I be eavesdropping on my favorite person in the whole wide world….I am hurt that my lil vixen doesn't trust me." Kenji pretended to be hurt.

" Kenji, 1.) I barely know you. 2.) you're a nosey fox. 3.) you have done nothing but hit on me last night, even if it was to drive Sesshomaru crazy with jealousy." Rin counted on her fingers.

" Rin, believe it or not I look at you like a little sister. I would never ask you to sleep with me, or to give me a big frencher. The farthest I will go is maybe a peck on the lips…I might touch your leg or wrap my arms around you…but in a big brother way. I never had a sister…and you are a lil vixen, so that's close enough, understand." Kenji said as serious as his character would allow him to be. It was hard for Kenji to be extremely serious.

" well Rin looks like you have a new big brother." Kagome giggled.

" Oh great. I have Kenji for a brother." Rin whined sarcastically.

" Geez, love you too Rinny." Kenji rolled his eyes.

Rin laughed giving Kenji a hug, thinking that she can never get rid of him now. It was declared by a youkai lord, that she was now his adopted little sister. Oh boy this was going to be interesting.

The next couple of months was going to be a little hectic with the holidays turning around the corner, and kenji hovering when ever Rin had a minute to breath. At least Inuyasha kept his distance for now, and Sesshomaru kept himself locked away in the study.
