Forgive me for my delayed updating, I've been really busy.
Roses from the Heart
Chapter Eight – Once My Mate
After a lovely dinner with the Takahashi family, Rin sat in the living room with them drinking wine.
"So tell me dear," Izayoi said smiling at the young twenty-three year old, "what are some of your goals in life?"
"Well I'm actually in school now to get my degree in medicine." Rin said promptly after swallowing a sip of her wine. "I've always loved helping people."
"Mmm, just like her," Izayoi said before placing the glass to her lips again and taking a sip.
Who is 'her',Rin thought staring at them confused.
"You don't know who 'her' is, do you?" the woman – whose name Rin learned was Kagome – said tipping her glass toward her.
Rin shook her head no.
"Her name was Reina," Kagome told her. "One of my best friends back then and she was Sesshomaru's mate to be."
"What happened to her?" asked a wide eyed Rin.
"She died of a very rare virus back then," Inuyasha told her. "It was quite heart breaking."
Rin gasped.
"She was a very sweet girl who also trained in medicine and you remind us of her," Touga included as a small smile appeared.
"Hell I thought she was her when I saw her," Inuyasha said leaning back on the couch. "Seems the bastard found his past mate's reincarnation."
Reincarnation, Rin thought letting it all sink in.
"Yes that is possible but we don't know for sure," Izayoi said pointedly to her son. "And Inuyasha dear, please mind your language."
"Keh," was Inuyasha's only remark.
Conversations resumed soon after throughout the rest of the family's stay as Rin pondered over the fact that she may be Sesshomaru's deceased mate's reincarnation.
I have to find out more, she confirmed to herself.
An update for Blood Red Roses II comes tonight as well as my one-shot, Dame Un Beso. Keep watch for those.
