A few weeks later in Rin's POV
Dear Diary,
Well it's been a month and a half since I have written in you and since Kohaku and I started school. He's doing quite well on making friends actually. After we get off the bus and arrive at the school he normally leaves (With a good-bye) and hangs out with Hakudoushi, Souta, and Shippou. I'm happy that he's made friends, but I can't help to feel a little jealous. Seeing as Kohaku and I would always hang around together...Don't get me wrong. I want him to make friends...I just want him to still hang around with me as much as he does with the guys...
On other news:
Aunt Kikyou and Uncle Inuyasha are on their way right now to visit. I finally get to see the Babies, it's only been a month since they were born. They're also brining Kagome with them! So I'll have someone to talk to while the adults chat about...whatever it is they talk about. Maybe Kagome can help me with my Kohaku problem...
And two weeks from yesterday Sango and Miroku are getting married! I'm really excited about it, I'm even amazed Dad said it was alright for me to go. Mother is planning on buying me a new dress! (Speaking of Mother; She's doing wonderful with the pregnancy!) Sango even asked me to be the Flower girl...odd...I thought that job was for younger children. Oh well, it's still going to be fun. I wonder if Kohaku will ask me to- Wait! Why am I even wondering if Kohaku would want to dance with me? I've noticed Koharu is hanging around Kohaku a lot...maybe they are going out and he's not te- Aiee, why do I keep mentioning Kohaku?...Oh there I go again...
I better go before I mention him anymore...
Rin
I shook my head as I finished my passage. Why was I always mentioning Kohaku in my journal entries these days? I ignored it and headed to the living room, surprised to see them entering the door already. I didn't even hear the doorbell ring.
"Rin! Come look at the Babies, they're so adorable!" Mom called, ushering me to Aunt Kikyou and Kagome.
I rushed over to the two tiny bundles, one in Aunt Kikyou's arms and another in Kagome's.
"Oh...they're so adorable. You're right mom." I let a huge smile cross my face as I was lost in the cute-ness of the babies.
"What are their names?" Mom asked, taking the one in Aunt Kikyou's arms.
"The one you're holding is Inumaru. And the one Kagome has is named Kira." Mom kissed the Inumaru's forehead and played with his tiny hands, going on to Kikyou about how she couldn't wait to have her own.
Kagome smiled at me. "Do you want to hold her?" She held Kira out a bit.
"Oh...I don't know..." I wasn't sure how to hold a baby. I never had a sibling and in the Orphanage all the younger ones were taken care of by Nurses.
"Come on Rin. Kagura is having a baby soon, so you may as well learn now!" I reluctantly stretched out my arms, waiting for Kagome to hand the child to me. As she placed Kira in my arms it seemed like a bag of bricks was being placed on me instead.
I held her tight in my arms, smiling at her. She wasn't so heavy once I was use to it. "You'll make a great Big Sister!" Kikyou chirped, taking her baby boy back.
"Thank you..." The babies weight was becoming impossible for me to hold. "...c-can you take her back? She's starting to get a little heavy." I handed Kira to mom, rubbing my sore arms.
As soon as Kira was taken back mom and Kikyou started talking about the latest Baby items and what shows and music would be appropriate for them.
Since Uncle Inuyasha and Dad sat beside their wives, glaring at each other, I figured now would be my chance to take Kagome. Thankfully, she asked me if we wanted to go to my room. I nodded, and rushed to the room with her at my heels.
"So, what's up Rin?" Kagome smiled, sitting down at my bed and eyeing the new posters I had placed up.
"Oh...nothing really just a little...problem." How would I explain this one? Knowing her, she'd start guessing that Kohaku and I are dating and that I was just having some regular teenage problems.
"Problem? Like what?" She tilted her head to the side, thankfully not saying "A boy problem?"
I sighed at sat beside her.
"Well I have this friend...and- Well I don't mean to sound rude or jealous- but ever since he started going to school and I've been ushering him to make new friends...he's sorta...not talking to me as much." I sighed and remembered that Kohaku did still pay a lot of time with me. "I mean we still ride the bus together, and he'll eat lunch with me, and do projects with me when we do partners of two...but other then that..."
Kagome blinked her eyes a few times. "Well...the way I see it..." She started uncontrollably giggling. "...you like this boy! And want to spend all the time in the world with him! Why don't you just hang out with him and the guys?!"
My jaw dropped.
Me? Like Kohaku? Well sure he was a great friend...but he is easier to talk to then most people I know...
"That's silly. Kohaku is just my best friend." I laughed, hoping she wouldn't see the small blush on my face.
"Wait...Kohaku Anberu?" Kagome was now towering over me.
"Yes...do you know him?"
Kagome squealed. "Of course I know him, I'm his sisters best friend!"
I squealed with her. "Oh my god. Are you serious?"
She nodded furiously. "Yeah, we've been friends since I was fifteen. I can't believe I haven't mentioned her to you!"
It was odd, seeing as they've been friends for so long. "We'll if you know Kohaku, can you ask him what he thi-" I paused for a moment.
Ask him what he thinks of me? Why would I want to know?
"..I mean...ask him...how he's doing. I haven't talked to him in a while!" I blurted out fast, hoping she didn't get the wrong idea.
Kagome giggled. "Sure...Oh!...I nearly forgot." She rummaged through her purse for a few seconds. "Here!" She pulled out three tickets. "I have an extra one...so do you want to bring Kohaku to the Ayumi Hamasaki Christmas Concert? Sango and I planned to go together...and since I had the extras I thought I'd ask you and allow you to bring your own friend!"
I gawked at the tickets. They were something I had been trying to get for weeks. "S-sure. I'll ask him if he'd like to come."
Kagome smiled. "Great. I'll just leave you the extra tickets." She handed the two extras and smiled. "Think of it as my really early Christmas present to you!."
I laughed at her comment. "Thank you. I'll call Kohaku and ask him if he'd like to come."
I figured Dad would start fighting with Uncle Inuyasha soon. "Do you want to go back downstairs?"
She nodded. "Sure. They're bound to start fighting soon."
We laughed a little.
"So excited for your own sibling?"
I smiled. "Yes. I'm really looking forward about it. Mom makes us practice taking care for it all the time...with a doll I mean."
Kagome burst out in laughter. "Wow. When Kikyou was going to have Inumaru and Kira she never got that obsessed!"
I turned a little pink, embarrassed that I now knew not all parents did that.
When we entered the Living room again we didn't see mom and dad talking to Kikyou and Inuyasha. It was only Kikyou and Inuyasha. It was a cute scene, his one of his arms was holding Inumaru while the other was wrapped tightly and protectively around Kikyou, who was holding Kira in her arms.
We both had little fits of giggles watching them snuggle together. They must have heard us, seeing as the pulled away from each other and went back on tending the babies.
The next couple of minutes was about Christmas and what everyone's plans were. I figured now would be my only chance to call Kohaku and ask him if he wanted to go. I quickly slipped into the Kitchen and dialed his number.
"Hello?" Thankfully it was Kohaku who answered the phone.
"Hello...it's Rin." I didn't want to see to excited what if he said no?
"Oh...hey Rin. Is something the matter?" His voice seemed dull and bored.
"No...everything is fine. What are you up to?" Maybe the boys were over, I didn't want to interrupt.
"...Sango is about to take me shopping for her wedding dress." That must be the reason why he seemed so bored.
"Well...before you go...My cousin gave me two tickets to an Ayu Concert...it's not until the twenty-third of December..but would you like to go?" God, I hope he says yes...
"Yeah, sure." His voice was a bit more enlightened.
"Great! Well...I'll see you tomorrow at school. I don't want to hold you from shopping." I laughed a little.
"Er...yeah...joy. See you tomorrow. Bye." He hung up the phone.
I hung up the phone and let out a small squeal, dancing around the kitchen floor I whispered, "Kohaku's going to the Ayu concert with me!" repeatedly, so excited that he actually said yes.
Two weeks later in Kohaku's POV
"Yeah, I think Sango's over reacting with the Wedding..." I held the phone close to my hear, holding it up with my shoulder while I polished my dress shoes. "I mean, she's making me polish my shoes..."
On the other end, Rin laughed. "Well...I mean, how many times does one person get married? I wouldn't blame her for over reacting. I would if it was my Wedding."
I pursed my lips together, pressing the polish harder onto the sleek shoe. "Well...she's not your sister, and you don't have to live with it. Figure yourself lucky."
She laughed again. "Oh...I hear mom calling for me. Dad wants to go over the rules of what I should do and how I should behave while I'm there."
I replied with a small laugh myself. "Okay...well I'll have Miroku pick you up tomorrow morning around...nine. Bye." I hung up the phone and stared at my shiny shoes. "I'm going to be here all night..."
"Kohaku I need to order flowers for the Wedding, which would be better. Roses, and if so, what color? Daisies, or Lilies?" Sango held her Cell phone to her ear. "Hurry, make a choice!" I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.
"Pink Roses...?"
Sango smiled and went back to her phone, going on about how many flowers she needed, while Miroku rushed around making sure that he had everything on his list done. Kilala and I seemed to be the only sane ones at this point.
"Talk about over reacting, huh Kilala?" I scratched behind her ear as she loudly purred.
With a few more minutes of polishing my shoes, I was finally satisfied.
"Hope they're Sango Worthy..." I carried my shoes and Kilala up to my bedroom.
I sat down on my bed, Kilala was still in my arms. My shoes were now by my dresser, blending in with everything else. "So...ready for tomorrow Kilala?" She purred again, rubbing against my stomach. I let out a small laugh, I seemed to be doing that a lot after Rin and I started hanging around a bit more. "So...what color do you think she's going to wear?"
Kilala purred more as I laid down on my back and began stroking her head.
"She doesn't seem like one who'd wear a Pink dress...though she's preppy...just not that way preppy." I turned my head to my dresser and fell asleep, knowing I'd be awoken in a few hours by Sango telling me we'd be late if I didn't hurry.
The morning wasn't as bad as I figured it would be. I did hear Miroku and Sango rushing around at Six in the morning, but thankfully they let me sleep in until a quarter after eight. I wasn't rushed then. All what was left was to get changed, pick up Rin and drive back to the church.
"Kohaku, comb your hair a few more times, it's so messy! I want the photos to look perfect!"
She seemed to gripe at me about everything that didn't go her way.
"Why aren't you wearing your jacket yet? It's part of your suite! Put it on!"
I rolled my eyes and slipped into the jacket.
I swear to myself and as god as my witness, I will never be this obsessive over my Wedding...or make sure my Wife doesn't get like this either...
Once my jacket was on, Sango dragged me out of the house and shoved me into the car. "Stay there. I'm going to get my change of clothes and then we'll pick up Rin!" I sat in the backseat of the car blank-minded for a few minutes. Unaware I was dragged out of my own home.
"Oh Sango...if only you'd get this excited when I ask you to bear my child..." Miroku mumbled to himself, who was in the passenger seat in front of me.
"Hm...I expect on your Honeymoon that's the first thing she agrees to doing?" I snorted, crossing my arms.
Miroku let out a small laugh. "Not the first thing I had on my list...but I could always bump it up!"
I shook my head, mumbling to myself how much of a pervert my Sister was going to spend the rest of her life with.
A few short seconds later Sango tossed her dress into the car and went to the drivers side, speeding off before we even knew it.
We arrived at Rin's house a short few minutes later, thanks to Sango's speeding.
Reluctantly I was the one who had to get her from her house. I knew that if we weren't quick, her dad would pull me aside and give me a lecture of what I can and can-not do to his Daughter.
"Oh! Kohaku!. I didn't think you'd be here so soon. Let me just run and slip on my shoes!" I didn't even get a good look at what she was wearing before she rushed for her shoes. I knew she wasn't in the dress since the blue colored fabric looked like a pair of baggy pants. I waited patiently for the girl, wondering how long one women could take to find her shoes. To my luck, Sesshoumaru walked over to me for a lecture. I tried to pay attention through most of it, but was only able to get the last few sentences.
"...and if you dance with her I do not want you to pull her into a close embrace. Keep a fair distance. And last, No I repeat no kissing!"
His voice was cold and it was rather disturbing, but I gave him a weak smile and stood up straight. "I-I'll be sure to follow the rules..." A hint of fear would increase his thoughts that I was actually afraid of him.
"Alright...I'm ready."
When I turned to Rin, I didn't see her in the dress. She was still in a pair of baggy jeans and a regular tee-shirt that draped over her shoulders. In her left hand must have been the dress, fresh from Dry Cleaning. While in the other a box, it must have been full of make-up and brushes, since her hair was pulled into a regular pony-tail.
"I'll see you after the Reception!" She chirped, giving her dad a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I figured you'd change before you we came to pick you up..." I watched the baggy clothing slip from her.
"Oh...well...I wanted a bit of advice for my Make-up and hair so I figured Sango would be much help." She gave a re-assuring smile. We were now in the car, which was speeding rapidly like before.
"So...you just tossed on whatever you could find in your closet?"
She frantically tried to pull up the shirt that was slipping down her shoulder. "Well...these are my regular clothes..."
Regular Clothes? I didn't know girls wore clothes that were ten sizes to big for them!
I didn't reply to her comment, I most likely would have blurted out what just came into my head. The rest of the drive was rather silent, except for Sango and Miroku's mumbling on what she had left to do.
Arriving at the Church was a rush as well.
Sango headed off to one of the Restrooms with Rin to change, while Miroku headed to the Reception Room to make sure everything was ready. Unsure what I had to do, I wandered aimlessly. I was about to enter the Kitchen to hopefully sneak a snack or something before a voice stopped me.
"So...how do I look?"
Turning I around I was sure my jaw dropped without being aware.
She was absolutely beautiful from top to bottom. Her black shoes matched perfectly with her Spaghetti strapped Midnight Blue gown, a matching jacket covered her shoulders. I noticed her large scar was hidden with cover-up, making her skin flawless. Looking at her shoulders and collar bone I was a little disturbed; They were so bony and visible as though a simple touch would make the skin break. As she inhaled more bones were visible. Making me wonder if she was always this skinny. Her hair wasn't much different from any other day. She didn't do much to it except curl the tips. Her lips were a deep cherry red and light blush covered her cheeks. The make-up blended in so well it was hard to tell if she was actually blushing. When I stopped at her eyes I felt funny inside. Her lashes were longer then usual and her eye-lids were covered with the same Midnight Blue glittering eye-shadow.
"Y-...you look beautiful!"
I gawked at her, not wanting to tear away, she was like a goddess.
"You really think so? I should have brought the jacket that went with this to cover up my arms...or at least tone my outfit down...I'm not going to Prom or anything." She twirled around, making the fabric swish with the sway of her very tiny hips.
"No...I think you look fine. Not over-bored at all!"
Her blush deepened. "Well...people have started arriving now...and Sango wants the photos taken."
Photos weren't as long as I thought they would take. A few pictures of Miroku, his Best Man, Bankotsu (a doctor he worked with in the E.R.) and I were alined up for our own Male Photos. On the other side Sango, her Maid of Honor, Kagome and Rin were alined the same way. When that was done a few group photos were taken.
After that was done we headed to the room where everything takes place. I was finally able to see her in the dress with everything done. Her dress was similar to Rin's design, only longer and puffier. Her hair was a lot similar to Rin's as well, only Sango's was brought up into a bun. Her vail covered most of her front face, making it hard to see what she looked like. Though I was able to tell. Her make-up was Light Red lip-stick, and her cheeks were the same color as Rin's. Her eyes were also similar, except instead of a Blue, they were a sparkling white. In her hands were the Pink Roses I chose.
"Kohaku, stand next to Rin. Alright, now Kagome behind them...Great! Now when the music starts playing start walking!"
Sure enough, as soon as she said that the Bridal March song started.
I couldn't stand holding out the Ring for so long, why did I have to be the Ring barer
anyway? Rin didn't seem to happy about being the Flower girl either. She was mumbling to herself as she took a new step.
We were both relived when we stopped and Sango came walking down.
Sutsura.
That was Sango's new last name. It was so weird, They were now a Happy couple and I felt like some stranger who lived in their house. I supposed it was normal for an Orphan who lived with his Sister who was just Married to feel like this.
Rin and I sat on a bench outside the Reception Room, staring at people who walked in and out. I was amazed it was even a large Wedding, seeing as both Miroku and Sango didn't have any relatives and not many friends. When Miroku and Sango walked into a room, I could hear an announcer calling out.
"May I present to you, Mr and Mrs, Miroku Sutsura."
Once the clapping died down Rin stood up. "Do you want to go in?"
I stared at her for a minute before smiling. "Sure."
Without any hesitation I took her hand in mine and guided her to the Reception. "So...do you want to Dance or get something to eat first?"
She pursed her lips together. "I'm not very hungry..."
It took my a while but I finally spoke again. "Okay...so...you want to dance?"
She nodded.
"You know how right?"
I looked down at my feet. "I think so...Sango made Miroku and I take lessons before..." I guided her onto the dancing floor and held her hand properly.
I'm supposed to place my hand around her waist...but...
"My waist. The other hand goes on my waist." She took my free hand and placed it around her body. She was bony their as well.
We started out slow in the dancing but by the chorus of the playing song we were dancing as though it was second nature.
I was so tempted to pull her in to a tighter embrace but I knew somehow Sesshoumaru would find out.
"If I could have your attention please. The bride and groom are now going to cut the cake."
We were only in the middle of our second dance when the announcer began blabbing again.
Rin and I rushed to the cake as Miroku and Sango were now holding the knife together. As they cut into the cake, Kagome was with a camera taking loads of photos. While they were feeding each other she was still flashing her blinding camera.
"Oh Kohaku! Rin! Scoot a little closer together!" Kagome held her camera up to us, ushering us to get closer. "I need another photo of you both."
"Another?" Rin squeaked. "What do you mean another?"
Kagome smiled. "Well, I already have a few of the two of you dancing together. And the Photographer took pictures of you both walking down the Aisle. Now come on, scoot closer."
I knew if I didn't, Sango would beat me about it. Scooting closer many passing by couples went on about how cute we looked together.
"Okay. I'm done!" Kagome took her camera and rushed off to find Miroku and Sango for more picture-taking.
"The joy of Weddings." Rin laughed as she scooted away a bit.
"Yeah..." I looked at her face and smile. "Would you like to dance again?"
She smiled once more to me."Yes...Thank you." I took her hand and once again guided her onto the dance floor.
Okay...so I didn't write when they got married...I sorta skipped it, but the only Wedding I've been to took place in my Mom's best friends back-yard...lol. Before anyone asks "Why was Bankotsu the best man?" Because I couldn't think of another character and in this F.F Inuyasha and Miroku don't know each other. And I'm truly sorry about cutting it off like that...
Thank you for reading.
