Author note: I just wanted to take the time to thank you for reading my story and especially the individuals who decided to follow my stories. I can remember when I had found this site, it had just started and really did not have the amount of selections it does today. I will admit that I am extremely happy that this site exists.
For the past few years I have read a lot of Sesshomaru and Rin stories they are more times they are sad, something bad happens but more times than none end up with a happy ending. I hope you will continue to enjoy the stories I write for you and all the fans out there. FYI: I have decided to have some if not all characters at one point in time, be out of character.
Once again, thank you all.
And now we continue with our story.
Last time on Hot Springs in Tokyo
There in front of her was Sesshomaru deck out not in his business suite that he wore early during the day. Here he was wearing nothing but a towel around his waist with steam coming off his person. Rin proceeded to swallow the lump that was stuck for she could not believe what, who was standing before her eyes.
Chapter 2
She continue to sit frozen solid staring at Sesshomaru for she did not realized she was just out right staring at him like he was some piece of meat that required tenderizing.
"It's considered rude to stare at someone or do you like what you see? I may not be opposed to you taking a picture." Sesshomaru said as he moved into another room considering a few moments later he had came back into the bedroom fully clothed.
Rin's mind was trying to process what just happened. Recalling the turn of events of the day then her stomach begun to make noises, reminding her why she felt weak at the moment.
"Come along we must go down for dinner, I prefer not to have your friends in my room" Sesshomaru had begun to move towards the door when he heard a thud, then a slight grown or was it that this young girl growled.
Looking back he found Rin trying to get up from the floor, when she noticed that Sesshomaru was standing their staring at her like she was some crazed lunatic.
She flashed him one of her signature smile and proceeded to stand up straight and move to follow him.
They had walked down stairs to hear what sounded like a arguing and bickering, but when they reached the game room. There was Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku playing games. Rin and Sesshomaru looked at each other. Sesshomaru had moved away and proceeded to the kitchen, everyone else had already had their dinner and the only one left was Rin.
I guess our Sleeping Beauty is no longer asleep. Kagome had explained to everyone that Rin was truly unaware of the events and they had only told her about it do to that she had to perform in person. Rin was not happy about being lied to by her best friends but then at the end of the day she truly felt love by them.
Rin had looked around the very large kitchen and was amazed. Sesshomaru had informed her she could have whatever she wanted to eat all she needed to do is tell the chief. Rin looked over and noticed that it was nearing 7 pm and that the older gentlemen needed to get home and rest.
"If you don't mind I do have a small request?" Rin looked at Sesshomaru with pleading eyes. The look she gave him was unexpected. Something that he seen before; however, he drought it was going to be something like taking her to bed.
"I shall hear your request and my grant it if it is reasonable." Sesshomaru had moved to sit at the kitchen table while the old chief had served Sesshomaru a cup of tea.
"I you don't mind, I would like to be permitted to cook dinner myself, along with feeding the gentlemen here. I would like a professional opinion on something that I been meaning to try. But if I was to make it at home the opinion of the friends are important; however, I don't they would be able to assist me on how to perfect it? Rin had started to look around the kitchen to determine where are all the necessary things she would need to prepare the meal.
Sesshomaru was relieved that her request was not something he sexual. Although Rin did have a face and attractive figure he was not a man whore who would just sleep with any woman just because they loved his looks.
"Miss, it would be my honor to provide you with advice on the meal that you make. It has been a long time since I have been asked for my professional opinion. Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Totosai. " He smiled at Rin and was starting to show her around the kitchen. When Sesshomaru started to move to stand from the table, then Rin had quickly moved away from Totosai to be next to Sesshomaru.
"Please my lord, I was hoping that you would also, give me your opinion as well for it would be of great use for me and my future." Rin was moved from standing to being on her knees in front of Sesshomaru. Something about this girl would not allow him to refuse her.
"You may do as you wish." Sesshomaru had stated and decided that watching her work in the kitchen making him a meal would not be so bad after all. Although he would have preferred it was just the two of them. Something about her just intrigued him to no ends and he was interested to find out why.
Rin had smiled and jumped on Sesshomaru and gave him a big hug and small peck on the cheek. She had done it so quickly before he could react that she already moved away.
Sesshomaru had looked out the back door and decided it would be good for him to walk outside in the gardens.
Rin had noticed that Sesshomaru left the room through the back doors and smiled. The location of the dinner will be out back, with the lights and since the evening were cooler than during the day it would be perfect with the meal she was preparing.
After about an hour later the meal was done, Totosai had decided to have to take his meal home, for he stated that his old bones would like to rest when given the chance.
So that left Rin and Sesshomaru to eat alone, which Rin truly did not mind? Sesshomaru was a very intelligent man and having a conversation with him is refreshing. She did not mind talking to her friends but at times it was like she was the adult and she was their parents.
Rin had completed setting everything and was getting ready to call Sesshomaru when he showed up. "Aw, there you are everything is ready. Shall we eat?" Rin had moved to pull the chair out for Sesshomaru when he had moved her to sit first before he did.
"Where is Totosai, was he not to join us? Looking at Rin waiting for an answer to which he already knew. Totosai had saw Sesshomaru before he left to the small home that was back way past the gardens.
"He stated he wanted to retire early and will have him dinner there. So I ensure that when he left he had food with him. I could not bear to think that after working all day he would in turn have to drive a long distance to get home which would put it around 9." Rin had pour Sesshomaru glass of white wine that was recommended by Totosai and a glass of water for her.
"Will you not have a glass of wine?" Sesshomaru looked at Rin noticing that he was the only drinker and she was only having a glass of water.
"No, thank you I'm not really a drinker unless you want me to make a fool out of myself or pass out on the floor after one sip of it? Rin giggled and preparing to eat the food that she had just prepared for them.
They had both eaten mostly in silence, Sesshomaru was again surprised that day by the meal that was prepared and let alone that it was not over due or had too much spice.
Sesshomaru had asked Rin if she would like to take a tour of the gardens, which Rin was glad to accept; however, she knew that it was getting late.
"I would love to, but I will need to take a rain check on that for another time. I know it's getting very late and by the time we arrive home, I will need to start to get ready for sleep. We all have work in the morning and I cannot afford to lose my only main source of income. "Rin had started to clean up the table and clean the dishes.
"I will allow the rain check to take place this Saturday; however, on the matter of your source of income will change for you have been given employment at our company. " Sesshomaru had finish sipping the remaining wine in his glass and handed it to Rin for her to clean.
Rin had stood there shock had what Sesshomaru had just said, maybe she hear him wrong. "What did you just say, I do not understand. Where there not other individuals who competed for this? I was not aware of my change of employment although it will be welcome." Rin was finish the entire task she wanted and the kitchen look just the way it was when she entered it or even better. She had decorated the table and the counter with the flowers from outside.
"Rin, I do not like to repeat myself; however, since we are fairly new with one another I will explain. As of now you will no longer work at your former establishment. Your will receive a substantial raise in pay. You were the only individual to come in to cook for us, no others were asked. After we had done an extensive background check you were the only one who had a slight chance. "Sesshomaru and Rin had stopped by the game room and found that it was empty now. They had proceeded to the den where everyone was just sitting, talking and having tea.
"Well, my dear I hope Sesshomaru explain that you will begin to work for us starting tomorrow? Inutaisho looked at Rin and then his son.
"Yes he did; however, it is rather late and we must get home so that I can be ready for tomorrow along with my companions also, have work." Rin said as she moved to sit on the only available set left which was next to Sesshomaru.
"As a new employee to the Takahashi Corporation, welcome aboard." Inutaisho said with a large smile on his face.
"Thank you, I will do my best at the job given to me. Although I do not know that it is." Rin smiled back and bow showing her much appreciation.
"Now that is said, I hear by order you all to stay the night and Rin you and I will go shopping for the clothes that will be needed for work." Izayoi had said while holding on the Rin's hand and looking at her like she was some new toy.
"I can't do that! That would set a bad example and I have not started work yet. "Rin was in disbelief on how thing were changing really fast for her.
After an hour of intense negotiations about staying the night, buying new clothes and being treated like a little child. Rin was sitting in bed looking around; she could not be leave that she ended up agreeing to all the demands and wishes that Izayoi had requested.
"Boy she is one tough cookie and I'm glad that I'm not on her bad side." Rin had decided that it was time for her to lay down for she had a feeling that her life will forever be change.
