Chapter Six - Her?


3 Weeks Later


Rin walked through the door of the penthouse apartment shutting it softly behind her.

"Sesshomaru-sama, are you home," Rin called out as she kicked off her shoes and made her way through the elaborate suite. "Sesshomaru-sama?"

She looked around until she heard voices behind the study doors.

Is he with a client? She wondered to herself as she stood planted to the spot she stopped in.

"Well Sesshomaru it would seem you do have a heart," a voice said; a hint of amusement playing in it. "I would like to meet this girl. Where might she be?"

There was a pause before Sesshomaru's cool voice answered, "She is due to arrive from school any moment now."

That was Rin's cue to head back where she had come from. Swiftly turning without making a sound, Rin walked back to the front door, opened it, then closed it again.

The door of the study was heard opening and footsteps followed shortly after. Within seconds, two very tall figures emerged into the main room.

"Ah, so you must be Rin," an elder inuyoukai said smiling at her, his fangs glistening with saliva.

"Yes," Rin said bowing her head to the demon.

"A pleasure to meet you, young one," the male said holding his hand out to her. Rin carefully took it. "I am Touga Takahashi, Sesshomaru's father."

Ah, so he is his father, Rin thought. "A pleasure to meet you Touga-sama."

"She reminds me of her," Touga said turning back to look at Sesshomaru who merely nodded.

Her? Rin thought a tad bit confused. Who's 'her'?
