Hello! Guess who's back! Yes it's meeee! Lol, I know I sound crazy but that can't be helped ne? Lol… Ok before we go to chapter four, let's take a look at the Review Corner ne?
REVIEW CORNER:
HawkAngelXD: Ok this is an update for ya! Thanks for reviewing and so sorry for taking so long to update
Wolf-Inu-Yasha38: Thanks for thinking it's great! Hehe… This is only the beginning my dear… He'll be worse in the later chapters! Hehehehe…
Mizz-Clumsy: Blushes Heh heh… Well I guess I have to revise my grammar… I suck in my grammar! I have a feeling I have some mistakes in this chapter too! Aargh! Lol… Hmmm I guess the reason why I didn't put sara as the third party was because Sara doesn't have the wild attitude. In fact I feel she has some similar traits with Rin. If Sess doesn't really have many feelings for Rin, then how can he have for Sara. I wanted Sesshoumaru to like another woman who is, in a way, unique to him. So I chose Kagura!
icygirl2: Ok here it is for ya, sorry I took a hell of a time to update! I don't know if it's as great as the previous one, but I hope it is ne?

misterious advisor: An update here! Don't cry too much for Rin, coz she planned all of these! You will know what I mean as you read the future chapters!
May: Well Sesshoumaru will pester her time and again… So that means, yeah he wants to be unfaithful to Rin… But then in the later chapters he will realise that Rin's for him not Kagura! )
MindIIBody: Lol… Don't worry Sess will get his 'punishment' in the sequel… I'm still thinking if I should have a sequel… hmmm…
tweetymug: It's not the question 'What are you doing Rin'… It's more of 'What are you doing to Restria!' I know I'm evil!
SilentKiller: Thankies! I had this idea after cracking my head for one whole week!
karina: Thanks for your understanding karina! I was so very afraid all my reviewers will be angry with me! d And thanks a lot for thinking this is a great fanfic!

Chapter Six: Rin or Kagura?
"Hello Takahashi-san," she said in her hoarse voice, which was unknowingly seductive. I could feel my loins tightening just at the sound of her voice. Oh God, how I longed to get to know her on a personal level and finally I'd gotten the chance.
She gave me a formal smile and started, "Rin has said much about you. You're lucky to get her, she loves you a lot," she turned her gaze to Rin and so did I.
My wife blushed furiously and avoided my gaze. 'She talks about me to people, even after the way I treat her? Is what Kagura says is true, that she loves me?' a lot of questions began to fill my mind about Rin. Suddenly I felt guilt tugging my heart. She talked about me highly to everyone and yet here I was treating her worse than any husband would treat his wife.
"N…no, I don't deserve him. Be…besides I don't love him, I just like him as a friend," she stuttered, still avoiding my gaze. Instantly when she finished her statement I felt my heart crush slightly. I didn't know why I was reacting such a manner… it was as if I had feelings for her. Did I just say I had feelings for Rin?
If she were to look straight into my eyes she would have seen the hurt, which had been caused by her words, in them. As soon as the emotion filled my eyes, it disappeared.
Kagura gasped hearing what she had said. "Come on Rin-chan. You couldn't have married him if you don't love him!" she exclaimed dramatically.
Rin merely smiled at her sadly. I felt my spirits drop at the sight of her smile. I knew this was all because of me, but I didn't know why I was behaving like a lovesick puppy! I opened my mouth wanting to defend her, but was stopped by Rin.
"Come on Kagura-chan, let's have our dinner before it turns cold," she suggested brightly. Kagura smiled at her gently as the both girls turned their back to me, walking to the dining room. Rin stopped abruptly and turned to glance at me again.
"Why not you join us for dinner Sesshoumaru? The more the merrier."
"Hn," I grunted as I made my way down the stairs to the dining room. Though I looked emotionless on the outside, my insides were swirling with questions and fears. 'Does Rin love me or not? Will Kagura fall for me in the end? Who the hell do I have feelings for? Is it Rin or Kagura…or both?' The last thought made me gulp in frustration.
We reached the dining table in a couple of minute's time and we took our seat. I took the seat at the very end of the table while Rin and Kagura sat on either side of me, they facing each other. I scanned the dining table, gazing at the dishes Rin had cooked. Just watching the spread she had made, made my mouth to water and my stomach to growl. On the table, there were three bowls of rice, for each of us with chicken curry, stir fried eggplant, prawn omelette and some soup which was made of vermicelli.
"Wow, Rin you didn't tell me you can cook! But… I have a feeling this is not Japanese cuisine," Kagura started as she still kept her gaze on the food on the table.
At hearing the giggle coming from Rin, I immediately turned my head towards her direction. Her giggles were somehow music to my ears. She smiled and explained, "Duh, it's not Japanese cuisine. Today's specialty is Indian cuisine. I thought of doing something different since I was going to have a guest. So I chose Indian cuisine!"
'Indian Cuisine?' I questioned myself. There was no need to say that I was impressed with her cooking. It smelt good and oh how I would love to start digging in.
"Sugoi! You know how to cook Indian Cuisine! Where did you learn!"
"When I was back in London, my room mate was an Indian and she always cooked me her country's food. I found them tasty and both of us decided to exchange skills. She taught me how to cook her country's food while I taught her how to cook our country's food", she patiently explained.
I sat down on my seat quietly and patiently, wondering when the hell the both ladies would stop talking and start eating. After all I was hungry, not to mention that I hadn't had my lunch and now dinner. I could have just started to eat first, but it was rude and disgraceful. I wasn't brought up in such a manner, you know. Rin pointed on every dish, naming them for our knowledge and touched briefly on how they would taste like.
"And this," she started again pointing to the vermicelli soup, "is the desert of the day. It's made of vermicelli and it is mainly made of milk. You have to taste it, it's sweet."
I caught Kagura nodding her head in understanding and motioned her lips to make an 'O' shape. Suddenly I felt the temptation to kiss her full sultry lips.
"Ok we can start eating now, shall we?" Rin announced. Kagura nodded her head like a five year old kid agreeing with her mother of getting an ice cream. I merely mad an eye contact with her and started on my food while trying to answer the disturbing questions in my head…
"Wow that was such a hearty meal Rin-chan!" Kagura claimed as she leaned against the chair in bliss. I had to agree with her. It was a hearty meal. I only took one serving while the ladies helped themselves with another two more servings of bowls of rice. I had the urge to take another serving but resisted myself. I was still hungry and having another serving would do me good, but decided against it as I didn't want Rin to get the idea that I liked her cooking.
"You cook well you know Rin. Don't you think so Takahashi-san?" Kagura said.
"You can just drop the damn formalities and call me by my name."
She glared at me, "Oh I'm sorry Mr Almighty, I didn't know I could do that, since you are always keeping mum," she snapped back.
I quirked my eyebrow in amusement, my lips turning upwards slightly. 'Finally she's revealing her true colours,' I stated to myself. "Are you always this feisty?"
She blinked at me in surprised. I guess she didn't expect me to ask that question. However as soon as her surprise came by, it was replaced by anger.
"This is me and if you don't fucking hell like it, it's none of my business!" she retorted.
'Let's bring this game a notch higher.' "You know, you have a foul mouth for a woman," I stated nonchalantly. I could see fire climbing up hr neck to her cheeks. I smirked at her in satisfaction.
"So what if I have a foul mouth! Do you have a problem with that!"
"Not at all. I was just stating a fact." I crossed my arms across my chest and studied her features. Her big seductive crimson eyes, her nose pointing in the air in arrogance, her full and sultry lips, her breasts… God, she looked so very beautiful, even much more beautiful than Rin. What I wouldn't do to get her for myself.
She narrowed her eyes into slits turned to face Rin. However her anger was replaced by confusion. "Where's Rin?" she asked honestly.
I turned to my right where she was sitting at, but she wasn't there. That was when I realised that the table was also clean. The dishes weren't there. 'How long was I quarrelling with Kagura?'
"Oh you're done with your squabbling finally!" I heard Rin's voice from down the dining room. Both Kagura and I turned to her direction.
"Rin-chan, why didn't you tell us that you left the table?" Kagura questioned.
"Well I didn't wish to interrupt the both of you. Both of you look cute when you're quarrelling," she replied indifferently. Frankly speaking, she was a bad actress. I could see through her. I could see the sadness in her eyes when she made her last statement. 'Is…is she trying to pair the both of us up?'
"Ok, Kagura-chan, wait for me for a while. Then we can leave together."
'Leave together?' "Where are you going Rin?" I asked her sternly.
"Me? Oh, I gotta go meet a client regarding his painting," she answered me and then turned to leave the room.
'It's a male!' my mind screamed when she referred her client as 'his'. Jealousy coursed through my whole body when I knew that Rin was going to meet a male client.
Man, I was so pissed! Why the heck was she meeting a guy at nearly ten pm at night! I subconsciously dug my hand into my pocket of my pants and pulled out my cigarette pack. I drew one out of the pack and popped into my mouth and lighting it. I took deep puffs, in deep concentration. Then, just like someone threw a bucket of cold water on my face, a question came kicking in my mind, 'Why does this Sesshoumaru bother who she goes out with? True she is my wife, but I don't treat her like that. She's free to go out with anyone.'
"Hello, earth to Sesshoumaru," Kagura's voice signalled me to get out of my thoughts.
"What?" I growled.
"Easy boy! You sound like a dog when you growl. Why are you so worked up?"
"None of your damn business," I snapped back as I squashed the cigarette butt onto the ashtray.
I caught her inhaling, probably to calm herself down. "So how did you meet Rin? I understand that the both of you are newly married."
"We were being match made by my father," I answered curtly. The both of us kept quiet for a while as the tension increased between the both of us. "Where are you from?" I asked her genuinely in order to break the tension. Besides, I was in fact curious to know where she was from and why I couldn't locate her all the while.
"I'm actually an American. I was born there but came back to Japan at the age of two. Then at the age of twenty I decided to go back to America. In fact I just came back from America eight months ago."
'America!' I yelled in my mind the moment I realised she was the woman whose particulars did not have her photo attached to it when I was doing the search for her! 'Dammit!' For a moment I felt myself malfunctioning. She was the one I had been finding high and low for, who was supposed to be found on the day I met her!
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you staring at me as if you want to devour me!"
I furrowed my brows and averted my gaze away from her. I closed my eyes and thought of how stupid I was. I could have married her instead of Rin! Then I wouldn't have to suffer hell right now! I shouldn't have jumped onto conclusion six months ago! What was I going to do next? Was I still going to pursue Kagura or was I going to forget about her continue my life with Rin? Oh God I was in a deep shit.
"Ok Kagura, we can make our move now," Rin's voice rang throughout the dining room. Kagura got up from her seat and turned to me.
"It's such an honour to meet you Mr Takahashi. I don't know how the hell you got a nice and kind girl like Rin as your wife, but oh well. There's a saying 'The imperfect match is always the compatible match'. So goodbye," with that said she sashayed her way towards the exit of the dining room, where a giggling Rin was standing. Together the both of them exited the room leaving me all alone.
When I had made sure that the both of them were really gone, I took out another stick of cigarette and lit it up. Each puff I took, I thought of the possibilities of choosing one between the both of them. If I were to choose Kagura, Rin was going to get hurt though I knew that she would pretend that it did not hurt. If I was going to choose Rin, then…then I wouldn't hurt anyone.
But the thing was I couldn't let Kagura go. She was the impossible who was out of reach and now that I nearly got the impossible, I was going to throw the chance away? No one in their right mind would do that.
What the hell was I going to do? I had to choose one among the both of them. Oh God, how I hated being in a dilemma. This was the first time I was caught in such a situation and in the issue of women at that! Why must my life turn out so complicated? Who was it going to be?
Was it going to be Rin or Kagura?
Finally the end of this chapter! I gotta go now, I'll try to get in as soon as possible to update! Thanks again, reviewers for reviewing my previous chapter! Hope to see more reviews ne! Lol… Oh and remember to read 'revenge is sweet'!
Byes!
