Hello Everyone, I'm sorry I've taken so long to update but I had a terrible case of writer's block. I really didn't know what to write or where I wanted to take this story. I thought about discontinuing it but I know how I hate it, if a story I've been following has been discontinued.
So I definitely ask you guys to forgive me. I'm also sorry I won't be able to respond to your reviews anymore by posting them in the story since FF has banned it, but if you want me to respond to you just look in my bio page that's where I'll now post updated review responses.
Disclaimer- No Now don't ask again!Sesshomaru was pissed off and that was an understatement. Being in such a rage from earlier he had opted to walk instead of drive to that insufferable woman's home. Now he was in a forest of trees and other wild life, with his pants and shoes covered in mud from the marshes he had to walk through. He wasn't a materialistic man but he had really, 'liked those shoes and now they were ruined.' Looking around he slowly hopped into a nearby tree searching the horizon.
It had become illegal for demons to fly, glide or take to the air in any circumstances unless they were in an airplane and Sesshomaru had seen it as another way in which the humans were trying to take over and make youkai less powerful. As he scaled the treetops he found himself reminiscing about when he first got Rin. He had been sitting in his office doing some annoying paperwork when he'd gotten the call…
Flashback
"Mr. Sesshomaru Taisho," the man on the other line asked he asked his voice ruff around the edges. "Yes speaking," Sesshomaru answered as he sat back in the comfort of his beige leather chair as the man continued to tell him that his employee, Tadaski Shita and wife had been murdered in their home. His mind instantly began to try and figure why the deceased mans name rang out in his head. 'He had thousands of employees but Tadaski had been his most dedicated employee for the last ten years and even though he was human Sesshomaru trusted him more than he trusted his own youkai executives.'
His mind then shifted to the little girl in the picture Tadaski had sitting on his desk. Clearing his throat Sesshomaru interrupted the man who was giving him the details on the couples death, "The little girl, what about his daughter?" he asked. The doctor on the other line took a deep breath, "She was under her bed hiding apparently, when her parents were killed. She's at the hospital now but she refuses to talk, eat, or even look at us, she just stares at the wall." "What about other family members?" Sesshomaru asked wondering in his mind why he was asking so many questions on the matter when it was really none of his concern. "Well we've checked on relative status and she apparently has none other than some traces to a wolf demon cousin. You can come visit her if you like I'm sure she would like to see another person who's not wearing a lab coat," the doctor asked his tone very hopeful. Sesshomaru didn't respond but wished the man goodbye and hung up the receiver.
He couldn't remember how he ended up in his Bentley racing down the street toward the county hospital but he soon found himself upstairs in the children's ward looking at a little form from behind a window covered in blankets and lying completely prostrate. It was this stillness that caught Sesshomaru's attention, he had never seen a child sit still for over a minute but this kid just stared at the rainbow colored ceiling barely blinking. After being warned by a number of doctor's and nurses, "Not to upset the child but to try and make her speak," Sesshomaru entered the sickly rainbow cloud room his head held high as usual and his face wearing it's traditional frown.
As he approached the bed he could feel the girl watching him the entire time and caught the scent of her slight fear, 'Wise child,' he thought as he stood right beside her bed looking down at the huge brown eyes that stared up at him. They remained in that position staring at each other for at least ten minutes before he heard a quiet, small voice pierce the air, "Your hair is pretty." Sesshomaru ignored the gasp of the doctor's and hospital staff as they watched the little girl who had been motionless for the last three days sit up in the bed and stroke the silky locks of the man next to her. Trying not to pull his hair back from this little human child who was twisting and twirling it as if he was some kind of Barbie doll Sesshomaru looked around the room looking bored. Out of the corner of his eyes he caught a sight that astounded him. Behind the girl's hospital bed lay what looked like a collection of small pink tablets. Each were lined up in a crook of the tile some still shining slightly as if she had just stuck them there.
He never knew whether it was that small display or some spell placed upon him but the next thing he knew Sesshomaru had grabbed the little girl known as Rin from the bed and signed her out as him being her legal guardian to the dismay of the doctor's and nurses who knew not to voice one opinion to this regal and rich demon. From the moment he took Rin to his home they seemed to have an understanding with each other. She never seemed to expect him to do any paternal rituals like read her stories or tuck her in, and he provided her with everything she needed in the process.
For her eighth birthday Sesshomaru adopted Rin fully and legal and when he gave Rin the news she gave him the biggest and one of the only hugs he had received in his entire life and even though he hated to admit it at the moment his heart swelled with pride and maybe even love. From then on whatever Rin wanted Rin got, he brought her so many gifts the attendants thought he was going crazy and even though he had never told the child he loved her or showed her any affection except for a couple of pats on the head Sesshomaru knew the child knew he cared for her deeply.
End of Flashback
At least he thought Rin knew he cared for her but he wasn't so sure after her outburst earlier. Noticing he had arrived in front of his set destination Sesshomaru took in 'Ms. Haramoto's home.' Covered in moss her sunshine yellow cottage was surrounded by various plants and flowers giving Sesshomaru the impression of a, 'little sickening cute house featured in a home and garden magazine.' Going up to the door he promptly knocked his claws piercing his palms he tried to contain his satisfaction he knew he would soon have after meeting and shocking this wench who dared to defy and argue with him. He stood back slightly when he heard the door open as he came face to ace to the tallest female he had ever met. 'No wonder she's such a bitch, she's a giant,' he thought as he cleared the traces of shock from his face and put back on his normal scowl as he was forced to actually look up at a woman.
When she smiled at him he knew she couldn't be the adversary he had just argued with over the phone. "Welcome, welcome please have a seat, Mr. Taisho I will get Kyojen," she said her foreign accent thick and apparent as she ushered him over to a seat. When he refused to sit and barked out he "would stand," her cheeks tinged pink as she muttered, "Of course sir," and took off to retrieve her housemate.
Kyojen was sitting at her small breakfast nook sipping tea with her new friend Rin, when she felt another aura enter her land. 'He's here,' she thought as she absently placed a peace of her bright unruly red hair behind her eye and glanced at the girl in front of her. When she had found Rin out in her lands earlier crying she had been shocked to find that she was Sesshomaru Taisho's adopted daughter. Of course she knew who the powerful demon was, everyone knew he was the richest man in Japan and third richest in the world but when he had went off on her and disrespected her she wouldn't have cared if he was Buddha himself. She knew she shouldn't have went off on him like that especially since she knew he had a reputation for making his enemies lives a living hell but he hadn't met her yet and 'Kyojen Haramoto was a force to be reckoned with.'
When Olga entered a minute later her sadness apparent Kyojen knew that jerk must have said something rude to her best friend and fellow model. Giving Olga a sympathetic look Kyojen advised Rin to stay put while she talked to her father and gave Olga another look that said, "I'm going to go kick some ass." As soon as she entered the den he turned around glaring at her waiting for her to speak but Kyojen just took in his appearance. He definitely looked like the demon who was portrayed in all the business magazines as being regal, powerful, and handsome. The long flowing silver hair, the gold piercing eyes, the clean flawless skin, the customary glare that had all her modeling mates squealing and crying,.. "Um hum," she heard the ice cold voice pierce her thoughts as she brought her eyes up to the man who was staring at her with an impatient look on his face as she thought, 'Yep he's the ass they all talk about.' "Have a seat Mr. Taisho she said as she took a seat on a bright red armchair closest to her but he continued to stand and said, "I have no need to sit I've come to get Rin and that's it."
'Ok so he wanted to be difficult,' she thought as she crossed her blue jean covered legs under her and rolled her eyes, "Look Mr. Taisho we have to get a couple of things straight first. Your daughter was running through my lands earlier crying and unprotected and I just don't know how and why you would leave her unattended. Anything could have happened to her, do you know how dangerous it is around here, she could have been killed or.." Kyojen was interrupted with the coldest snarl she had ever hear that made her shiver down to the bone as Sesshomaru took a step closer to her, "Now woman you cross your line, Of course I don't leave Rin unattended, she was being watched but she snuck off like you women do when you don't get your way and now I'm going to ask only one more time for you to fetch Rin," he growled out as his eyed tinged red which didn't go unnoticed by Haramoto who stood up now and looking at the man's face in front of her called Rin into the room.
Sesshomaru was literally livid as he looked down at this slip of women who had got him so riled up he had felt himself changing forms, as he waited for Rin to come into the room as he stared at the women who looked at him so defiantly that if he hadn't been in such a bad mood he would have smirked at her courage. 'She was only about 5'6 if that and would have been kind of cute if not for her attitude and big mouth. With big bright red hair adorned with some black streaks, green eyes and a little round face, not to mention a great body he might have been attracted to her but her loud mouth made him just want to knock her out instead.' He had also picked up some traces of demon and although he couldn't put his finger on it he knew she was a hanyou with a cross between a cat and fox demon blood mixed in.
Rin finally entered the room her flip flops clicking against the tile as she walked slow as a ant sure she was going to her doom, her eyes down cast before she came in front of the two adults. She took one look at Sesshomaru's frown and knew he was pissed as hell and she walked over to Kyojen who placed a hand on the teenager's shoulder comforting her. "Look Mr. Taisho I'll allow you to take Rin if you agree she can still come visit, she told me she doesn't have a mother figure and I would like to just show her things she doesn't know. You don't have to like me and I don't like you but Rin is the issue her not us so?" Both of them looked at him so earnestly but Sesshomaru didn't care as he bellowed, "I do not negotiate with the likes of you, Rin will come home now and that's the end. Come Rin Now!"
Rin ran up beside him at the command as she looked at Kyojen with a look that said, 'you tried,' but Kyojen wouldn't take down that easy especially to that jerk as she walked right up beside him and said forcefully "Sesshomaru I know your not even related to Rin and that you illegally took Rin from the hospital when she was six, Now I can either use that against you or we can work together to make sure Rin has the most productive life." When he started to protest she cut him off, "Remember Rin's pissed at you right now I'm sure she would be willing to testify against you," she said as she winked at Rin from the corner of her eye which went unseen by Sesshomaru as he thought about what this women was implying.
'She would have Rin taken from me,' he thought as he looked over at Rin who had a frown of determination on her face as she agreed to Kyojen's plan. He couldn't believe a female was outwitting him, he would agree with her for now but this battle was far from over, he 'Sesshomaru Taisho didn't lose.' Glaring at Kyojen he spoke, "Very well, Rin may visit you but only when I deem so," He watched as both of the women smiled at each other in satisfaction before Rin ran over to him and gave him a hug, "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama you're the best," she cried as she hugged him tight and to his utter dismay pecked his jaw. He heard someone laugh and turned to see that annoying women laughing at the look of surprise that adorned his face as Rin ran to Kyojen and gave her the same treatment she had given him as she wished her knew friend goodbye and told Sesshomaru she would meet him at home before she exited leaving the two behind.
"Well Mr. Jackass I guess you're not so much the asshole," Kyojen smirked at the demon before her as she led him outside, holding her hand out for him to take which he did "But you're the bitch I thought you were," Sesshomaru smirked as he dropped her delicate hand and took to the air leaving the women on the ground shouting obscenities at him about still being a "Damn, insufferable bastard." 'Maybe he, Sesshomaru Taisho had finally found his match.'
So how was the for some Father/ daughter sap for Sesshomaru and Rin, I really just wanted to get the relationship of how Sesshoamru got Rin straight so I hope this makes it clearer.
Also I introduced my new character Kyojen Haramoto (Thanks merryinelmo for the suggestion) She's a spitfire isn't she? Look for her and Sesshomaru to get in many more fights!
I'm sorry Inu/San fans, I know they weren't in this chapter but they will be in the next one with some Mir/Kag sap. But after that the next four or five chapter's will deal strictly with Inu and Sango.
