Chapter Four: Up From Here

He stepped into the room, moving slowly to stand at the foot of the bed.

"Rin." He drowned out, leaning closer to her sleeping form. "Rin."

"Mmm." She shifted slightly, smiling in her sleep.

"Rin, wake up." He spoke softly, taking a hold of her lamp. She stirred some more, snuggling into her pillow. "Rin!" He dropped the lamp, suddenly impatient.

She jerked up, eyes wide with fright. "Mr. Sato!"

He leaned closer to her face, smiling now. 'How was your sleep hmm?"

"Mr. Sato wh-what are you doing?!" She crawled across the bed and moved away from him, staring at her handsome landlord in horror. He grabbed her pillows, throwing them out the window; next was her jacket at the foot of her bed. "You are out Tainaka, Rin."

She lunged at him, clinging to his arm. "Mr. Sato please no!" He tugged her off, moving to her closet. "OUT Rin."

"Mr. Sato please, I beg you."

"No. No more Rin." He grabbed her suitcase, throwing clothes and shoes inside. She rushed for his arm once more, tightening her hold. "Mr. Sato please, I'm begging you no."

"I don't care Rin. You're gone."

"But Mr. Sato I have nowhere to go."

"I don't care. Go to hell."

"But Mr.-" just then her phone rang. Ignoring the loud sound, she continued to plead with her landlord; letting the answering machine get it. Until she heard the message; then suddenly her legs collapsed and she dropped to the ground; mouth agape in shock, her eyes clouding over. "Hello Rin, this is Abe, Hojo. Mr. Myoga's assistant. I'm sorry Miss. Tainaka but… Well I'm not sure exactly how to put this but… Well… Mr. Myoga is letting you go. I am sorry Rin, but… He says he's done. I'm sorry- goodbye." There was a slight click.

"Rin you are out!" Mr. Sato stated, oblivious to the situation.

She tugged her suitcase and bag down the stairs of the apartment building. Cradling Ah-Un, she pushed the large door open with her shoulder and rushed across the lawn, picking up her jacket and only finding one pillow. "Come on Ah-Un." She whispered, wiping at her tearstained face.

"Are you alright dear?"

Rin looked up from her spot against a tree, cheeks stained with tears, eyes puffy and red from so much crying. "No. It's so sad." She chocked out, wiping at her cheeks. "I've lost everything."

The old couple glanced at each other, unsure of how to handle the crying woman in the park. Therefore instead of speaking, they let her continue her story.

"I lost my apartment. My landlord just... Well just WALKS into my home and shoos me out."

SniffSniff.

"Then my boss- hah' opps; EX-boss, the ass, fires me. Can you believe that?? Me! She wiped at her stuffy nose, new found tears flowing. "And I'm pretty sure those horrible children from downstairs stole my other pillows." Her voice cracked at the end as she bowed her head in shame, her shoulders shaking from painful sobs.

"Oh honey it's okay. It can only go up from here." The old woman stated, her husband nodding in agreement.

Reaching into her bag, Rin felt for a kleenex but landed on a slightly crumpled piece of paper. Frowning in confusion, she pulled the paper out, her brain working. Pouted lips soon turned upward in a large grin. "Oh Ah-Un!"

The old couple looked oddly at her. "What do you have there, dear?" The man asked.

"The answer to all my problems!" She jumped up, throwing her arms in the air; giggling. "Ah-Un we're saved! We're saved!" She lowered her arms then, remembering she was in a public park.

I have to admit. I wrote this... And it sounded good. But then today, I read it again and I was all "Creeeepeeeeeer." Like.. Who goes into a person's home and starts throwing their stuff out the window?? I have a sick mind, I tell you. BUT there was nothing I could do, it was already written and I still have a lot of packing to do (trip in a couple of days) and didn't have time to change much. So I hope you guys liked it... And sorry about the creepy landlord guy. I don't know what I was thinking when I put him in there. This chapter wasn't my best, but ohwell, what can you do correct? Hah'. Also, I noticed I do 'Blank and Blank' alot... What's up with that? Ohwell I don't know. But then this chapter I didn't... Hmm... I should stop ranting before I go over board and stop making sense.

Review please. =)
