All right, I have coffee, candy, and tv! I'm ready for the creative rush of writing the part of the story you know is going to be good! XD

(Story)

Rin kept her usual vice grip on Sesshomaru as he sped his way down the streets on his Harley. But this time, she kept her grip on him after they reached their destination and he turned the bike off. Kagome had told her about Inuyasha having an impressive house, but she wasn't expecting this! Sesshomaru turned his head back, curious as to why she was keeping her tight grip on him.

"Rin?" He simply asked her. She looked back at him then at the house again.

"This is not a house Sesshomaru, this is a palace!" She said, once again staring at the grandeur of the building. At least three stories with an impressing traditional colonial build to it. Definitely not the typical Japanese home, befitting for a CEO of a business enveloped in the 21st century. Rin wasn't sure what to make of it. It was big, it was intimidating, it was…

"It is a bit tacky, isn't it?" Sesshomaru said with a slight frown on his face.

Yes! Tacky!

Sesshomaru and Rin soon stepped off the bike and Sesshomaru worked on the kickstand as Rin continued to stare at the impressive home. She was soon pulled out of her trance by a sudden hand on her shoulder.

"Shall we Rin?" Sesshomaru said with a smile on his face. Rin nodded her head in approval. She knew he wasn't excited about what awaited him inside, but the reminder that they got some time together afterwards helped to keep him positive. As he unlocked the front door, she was soon blown away by what awaited inside. You know the traditional movie setting when you enter the big home and you saw the huge staircase in the middle of the home and the dangerously heavy looking chandelier on the ceiling…yep, that was it.

Rin was once again unsure of how to handle the overwhelming stance of the house, wide eyed and almost had a look of fright on her face. However, Sesshomaru was quick to sense her intimidated state and he quickly shut the door behind him and once again clasped a hand on her shoulder. This time, he let his grip go in his one armed hug as he led her up the stairs.

"My parents are already waiting for me in my father's study. You can wait in one of the spare rooms upstairs until we've finished." He said as they made their way up the stairs and made a left down the hall. Rin was hit all of a sudden that she might just have a glimpse to see Sesshomaru's parents.

I wonder which one of them he looks more like.

Rin soon got her wish as she was guided down the hall, then suddenly stopped in front of an open office door. Inside, two professional looking business cooperate executives. Behind the dark shiny desk sat a fit middle aged man in a black suit, his hands folded just below his chin. His golden eyes staring intently at Rin and Sesshomaru and they approached the door, his white hair tied back in an impressive ponytail. Rin then turned to look at the other businessman standing by the desk…or rather business woman.

She too had white hair and golden eyes. However, she had sharp features for a woman and had equally sharp eyes. She wore a buttoned black jacket over a white turtleneck, and equally black pencil skirt reaching just below her knees and black pumps. Everything about her was crisp and clean and very intimidating. Rin wasn't going to lie to herself, she scared her.

Oh, definitely after his mother!

It was Sesshomaru's father who was the first to speak.

"Oh, hello there my son! Would this young lady be your friend that you mentioned this morning?" He asked with a smile and a surprising cheerful baritone voice.

"She would be father. I figured I'd quickly introduce her before we commence with our little…family meeting. Mother, father, this is Rin." He quickly commented.

"I'm honored to meet you!" Rin quickly said with a bow. She sprung back up to immediately see the man staring at her with a kind smile and warm eyes.

"And I to meet you young lady. You must tell me how you managed to get along so well with my son and what exactly your secrets are!" He said in a playful tone. However, a hand being slightly slammed on his desk immediately grabbed his attention.

"Inutaisho, we did not commence this meeting to meet a high school child. We are here to discuss a very important matter for our businesses!" The woman commented with a piercing voice. Rin was once again stricken by this woman's sharp ways. She wondered how the man could stay so calm during her sudden spat.

"I'm fully aware of what the meeting is about Yuzuki. Son, shall we?" Inutaisho said, a hand gesturing to one of the chairs strategically placed in front of his desk. Sesshomaru turned around to face Rin. She immediately knew what to do and walked out of the office. Sesshomaru walked behind her and proceeded to close the double office doors. Just before they closed, he leaned forward.

"Rin, feel free to wait out here and start working on finding places in your piece you feel need some editing and touch ups. This meeting shouldn't take long." He quietly said. She nodded her head in understanding.

"And hey, good luck." Rin quickly whispered. Sesshomaru gave her one last smile before he shut the doors completely, leaving Rin smack dab in the middle of the hall. At first, she just stood dazed in the middle of the hall of how quickly things were put into motion once she entered the house. Now that things seemed to be quiet again, she wasn't sure what to do with herself, she circled looking for a good place to sit. Getting comfortable on the floor and working wasn't unusual for her. It wasn't long before she was cross legged and proceeding to open her notebook to work. She was grabbing a pen from the inside of her folder when she proceeded to hear voices from the other side of the door. She only sat and stared at the doors opposite her trying to make out the voices on the other side. She heard Sesshomaru's voice, then his mothers, only to hear Sesshomaru's voice in a slightly stronger tone. His sudden change only made Rin furrow her eyebrows in curiosity. Before she knew it, she closed her notebook and crawled towards the double doors, pressing her hear right next to the crack in between them.

One down, just a couple more to go! I now have candy and eyedrops on the couch with me! I know now that I'm determined to finish this excitement tonight. There might be loud music and a little dancing commencing later to keep me energized! ^/^
