Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Note to readers: No one caught my mistake in the first chapter, so I will tell you now that Rin was a second year in Senior high when she met him. I accidentally put she was a first year, T__T. I put that Rin was neutral in the last chapter, but I meant she wasn't sad, mad, or happy. Please, forgive my mistakes.

SweetAyu- Thank you very much. I hope I do not disappoint.

xCrazyKindOvWeirdx- I know it's a big surprise from the story line.

I meant she wasn't happy, sad, or angry. She had no feeling. Thank you so much for correcting me. My English is not perfect, but thank you for suggesting it was near perfect.

RAPTOR-AKIDA/Brandy Cheeks Thank you very much for being my beta-reader for three of my stories.

Hinata-chan _ Thank you Very much and I hope this chapter is good as well.

Legendary Priestess- I did not mention giving up, I just thought that my English was horrid and I needed an editor. Thank you very much for your concern though.

Terriplase123- Thank you very much. I'm not very good at slang of any language. T_T

Saying great to much and it will turn into grape. ^_^

Chapter 4: Plum in yellow

Rin hadn't seen Sesshoumaru for two whole weeks, but saw Kagura at her apartment every where she turned. It felt like Kagura was marking her territory blocking Rin of access. Rin had many classes to keep her busy, but she hadn't heard anything from Sesshoumaru and thought that she would have to report him missing soon. Her best friend was missing from her sight, a wife was blocking her off from her apartment, piano, and best friend.

Rin was just consumed by her missing friend through class, dates with Kohaku, and piano. She supported that Sesshomaru found someone that he loved and married his love, but why was he was hiding from her or why wasn't she told anything. It nagged at her brain during the two weeks and eventually she couldn't concentrate, sleep, or eat. She did not want to interrupt Sesshoumaru's relationship, but why would he not answer her calls or even tell her what was going on with him.

Another week passed and she asked Kagura again, but Kagura ignored Rin's question and entered Sesshoumaru's room. She didn't want to be the nagging best friend to his wife, but Kagura was asking for it. Today she was going to find Sesshoumaru even if she had to take a drastic measure.

Rin remembered Sesshoumaru was taking a strings class, but she couldn't remember when. Ever since the marriage, she had forgotten just about everything. She knew there were string classes on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. Today was Tuesday and she wandered over to the music building. She heard strings play from the west hall and followed her ears. She pulled out a notepad from her bag and wrote down something while standing next to the classroom. She ripped off the piece of paper and entered the classroom just hoping there would be good news.

She entered and looked at all the students' faces. None of them were him or sounded like him on the violin. She walked up to the teacher while he used his finger as a baton as the students were separated by bass, cello, guitar, viola, and violin. He drew out a 2/2 signature in the air with his right hand and signaled for Rin to step forward with his left hand. She did and he tapped his left index finger on his music stand. She immediately put her note down on his stand hoping to not disrupt the strings. The teacher looked down at his stand while continuing to conduct with his right hand.

'Sorry to interrupt! ^_^ A classmate of mine has been gone for a while and I would like to know if you have Taishou Sesshoumaru in any of your classes?'

He scribbled on the paper with his left hand and continued to conduct without missing a beat. Rin saw him tap on his music stand and she picked up the paper. 'It is a pleasure to have you in my class at any time, Okada Rin. Mr. Taishou randomly comes and goes out of my afternoon class. Would you like me to give him a message if I see him?'

Rin got out her note pad and wrote her message down and then wrote her thanks to Mr. Matsuda on the other note. She placed the note with message down on to his stand. She bowed to the students, and then to the teacher as she left.

Rin went to work at a student French café down the street. She was use to her old uniform form back home, but this café wanted her to wear a maid's outfit and look cute as if it was an otaku café. She refused the first week and they almost fired her, but she spoke more French then any of the employees. Her manager gave her a male waiter's uniform and pushed her straight into work.

It was her sixth month working at La Vie D'Amour. She was waitering, but her mind was stuck on Sesshoumaru and why didn't he tell her. They were best friends, but she thought it wasn't her business to know his love life but this was ridiculous. Her brain couldn't stop it and it was eating at her. She wanted to be a good friend and not barge in on him in his room with his new wife, but not saying anything to her was calling for her to make him talk to her.

She was serving a couple when her mobile buzzed in her apron. She ran off to the back and saw who was calling.

"Hi Rin, what are you doing right now?"

"Kohaku, I'm working right now. Please call around 7pm, okay?" She quickly shut her mobile off before he could answer or call her back.

She walked up to her manager and asked him, "Can I leave for an emergency? My friend collapsed and I need to go call his parents?" She couldn't look him in the eye because she was a bad liar but she needed to find Sesshoumaru before she could claim him as a missing best friend forever.

Her manager just nodded as he looked through paperwork. She bowed and ran to the back where she hung up her waiter apron. She quickly changed into her clothes out of her work uniform and rushed out the back towards her apartment. She turned on her mobile and saw Kohaku had called 10 times. She got to the front and saw Kohaku who was sitting on a bench next to the vending machines. Rin walked to the vending machine, ordered a coca-cola and calpico then scanned her phone against the sensor on the machine. The can popped out then the mini bottle popped out and Rin walked over to Kohaku handing him the Coca-cola.

"Thank you," he said while peeling the tab up.

She shook her head and turned the cap of her peach drink. "What are you doing here?"

Kohaku set his drink on the bench and stood up. He grabbed Rin by the arm and pushed her body to him. She dropped her drink and it splattered on the ground. Kohaku closed his eyes and pressed his lips roughly against hers. Rin tried to push him off and he encircled his right arm around her waist while he grabbed her face to his. She felt like she was going to faint from the loss of air. Her fingers were bending back and turning red from the pressure she was pushing against his chest. Rin saw a flicker of white walk past them.

Sesshoumaru looked over while he was being dragged by Kagura to his apartment. He wasn't even there most of the time. He spent most of his time hiding in his classes away from Kagura. He saw Rin kissing a boy. What the hell was going on? Kagura saw them too and rushed him a long to the apartment. Rin didn't push the boy off and they were kissiing. She didn't even stop and try to rescue him from his wicked wife.

If he could just get free from his room without Kagura, but Kagura was always at his classrooms when he left, he would get a chance to talk to his best friend. The way Rin was kissing that guy seemed like she didn't care that they weren't talking or seeing anything of each other. Did she really not care that he was married or that they weren't talking?

Kagura pushed Sesshoumaru into an elevator and then locked them in his room. She was his end and she was just keeping everything from him. The first day of their marriage and she kept him away from any one, especially Rin. He went to normal classes and she would wait for him to come out.

She barfed up a week after Sesshoumaru found out he was married. She got a pregnancy test and showed him the pink plus on the test. He was only 19 and he got someone pregnant as well married them in a week before. This was just too much.

He was suffocating and when she told him she was pregnant, he was just about to rip off her head for suggesting it. She cried and threatened to tell everyone at school what he had done to his wife. He thought 'if the school found out, then his father would, and then he would lose everything even Rin.' He would just make it seem like a normal relationship, so she wouldn't tell.

A baby and his Rin confound his head to hell. The baby was a mess that he didn't want to deal with. Rin was outside of their apartment kissing a guy when she could have been helping him get air away from Kagura. She was in a yellow dress kissing a boy he didn't even know. Was there friendship so little that she would ignore him when seeing him in three weeks?

Five weeks passed and Sesshoumaru stayed by Kagura's side. She would get him, but he was dead to her. He hated her and made sure she knew it. He went to two of his classes with Kagura and dropped the classes. The first was a music theory class and the second was a strings class. He didn't see Mr. Matsuda, but told an old maestro that he could no longer stay in the class. Kagura knew that those music classes were a chance for Rin to talk to Sesshoumaru and convinced him to drop them. He didn't see anything of Rin from five weeks ago. His Rin in a yellow dress taunted him with secrets that she held from him when he slept like the unripe plums outside his window.

Kagura turned on Rin's keyboard in Sesshoumaru's room and she pressed on a few notes while holding her oversized cup of coffee. She stomped on the piano pedal and leaned over. Sesshoumaru was at his desk studying and didn't budge when she hit some random notes. She stubbed her toe on the pedal and fell back on the chair dropping her cup on the piano. Coffee seeped through the keys and the electrical system. Sesshoumaru wasn't paying attention.

"I think we need to give Rin back her piano." She looked over at him while picking up her cup. Droplets of coffee slid off some white keys and she caught them with her cup. Sesshoumaru didn't respond and she unplugged it then dragged it out the door while it drenched her arm. She dropped it in front of Rin's door for her to find it when she got home.

It was 5pm and Rin got to her apartment she shared with the evil couple. Sesshoumaru ignored her and she could tell. She didn't know it was for her own good that he did it, but she was depressed like he was. She had forgotten what it was really like by herself. Kohaku was with her still, but he never took the hint that she didn't even like him. Most of the time she was just thinking about Sesshoumaru, but she couldn't help herself. She lost sleep, 6.8 kilograms (she was 52.3kg), and her ability to play music. She let her best friend consume her even when he wasn't even around her.

Rin got to her bedroom door and saw her Keyboard. She cried herself to sleep with her keyboard by her window. The keys were sticky with coffee, the pedal was broken, a few of the plugs were stripped: unusable, and the electronics were shot dead beneath her silent fingers.

It was four days before Sesshoumaru's birthday and five days before Rin's. Sesshoumaru's mother was visiting in five days to have a combined birthday with the two, but she didn't know what was going on at all. No one knew that Sesshoumaru was married except for Rin. Rin wasn't really dating Kohaku, but he dragged her to random places when she wasn't paying attention. He kissed her once and she went into a depression for a week and then lost all feelings. Their apartment was disaster while their friendship was cut off.

Author Note: Mr. Matsuda is actually my first music teacher and I still do classes with him and help teach at his shop. Matsuda and I both work with our left and right hand. He is the only other person I know that can.

For those who don't know kilograms (When I was an exchange student in America, they didn't use kilograms to weigh.) Rin weighed about 115 pounds/8.24 stones then she lost 15 pounds/1.07 stones and is still losing.
