(Author's Notes)
All righty people, I have some news regarding not just this story but me as Jinksyfire as well. Since I'm now writing AND have a deviantart page, I wanted to try to collectively reach out to readers or watchers of my pages who are interested in this. I've created a Facebook page! ^^ I'll post not just my stories, but my artwork and photos as well. Regarding readers for this particular story, I plan of working on artwork and character profiles in the future. If you decide to like my Facebook, you can have faster access to all of my personal projects. ^^ This includes the girls and boys in their uniforms, dance outfits, and future event outfits too. Also my other fanfictions and art projects as well. ^^ I'll post the link to the Facebook page at the bottom.
(Story)
Rin and Sesshomaru were now joined by Inuyasha and Kagome in Inuyasha's gaming room. It was a cozy hangout place for the gang to have a good time in. Unlike the rest of the grandeur of the house, this room was very casual. It wasn't as big as the rest of the rooms in the house, but it was arranged to make it cozy. A flat screen TV atop a wooden entertainment cupboard was situated in a corner of the room with plump blue sofa's surrounding it. The cabinet shelves opened up to reveal numerous game systems and DVD players. On the other side of the room there was a makeshift kitchen area. All it had was countertops and shelves, a microwave, and a fridge; more than enough to hold cold drinks, snackage, and TV dinners.
At the moment, Rin and Sesshomaru were seated on a couple chairs gathered around his laptop going over last minute details to their contest entries. Inuyasha was fiddling with the DVD player, itching to watch the movie while Kagome was in the kitchen area heating popcorn and yelling at him to wait until Sango and Miroku arrived.
"Inuyasha, we already agreed that this was going to be a small congrats to Sango for her martial arts victory! Don't be rude and start the movie without her!" Kagome said as she reached in one of the cabinets to fetch a large bowl.
"Kagome, it's her favorite movie, so she's already seen it a thousand times, this time's going to be no different. So just get off my back, would ya?" Inuyasha said as he finished putting in the movie and got up to stroll over to the couch, his attention away from Kagome.
"Inuyasha, sit!" Kagome said, heaving a plastic cup at him and hitting him square in the head, surprising him enough that he then tripped over his own feel and fell to the floor. After a moment of silence, he sprang back up.
"The HELL Kagome! That hurt ya know?!" Inuyasha began to scream, clenching the plastic cup in his hand.
"Please, plastic could never penetrate that hard head of yours." Kagome replied as she casually made her way back over to the couch. Sesshomaru just continued to look over his notes while Rin gave a look of concern over her shoulder. After realizing the fight would escalate any further, she slowly turned in her chair back to Sesshomaru's computer.
They were currently going over Rin's short entry, finishing up any passages she wanted to enter and getting into the final states of editing and grammar. Rin couldn't help but gaze proudly at her entry. She's never worked on an entry with such intensity before, never paid so much attention to one passage. Not to mention that this was the first time she'd worked so closely with another writer, one who was so willing to work for her, and cared enough about her and her work to want her to do well in this contest. She gazed back over to Sesshomaru who was staring intently at her work, analyzing it, studying it, making sure it was as much potential that he could pull out of her. Even after the fight with his father, her actions to stop it, and what happened afterwards, he could still stay so focused.
Yet, she still couldn't help but feel somewhat sorry for Sesshomaru. She felt that by barging in on his conversation with his parents, she'd barged into his greatest secret. His birth sealing a business deal, a future he was trying to escape from by finding his own things to succeed in. Yet, after she barged in on his secret, and defended him, he felt such relief and acted more content now than ever to involve himself in his own projects, including Rin's short passage. Rin shifted her stool closer to Sesshomaru.
"Hey, Sesshomaru?" Rin softly began. He quickly turned his attention to her, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"I just wanted to apologize to you again in case I stir things up between you and your parents. I still just think it's very wrong to calculate someone's life like that and…well, I hope things can still work out for you." Rin finished with a smile on her face. Sesshomaru just stared at her quietly for a few more moments before smiling and returning to the laptop screen.
"And I am thanking you again Rin, for giving my parents the shock I think they needed to wake them up to my own ambitions. Maybe now, they will finally realize that they cannot bend someone to their will, no matter the years of planning they may have done beforehand." Sesshomaru said with slight pride. Rin just smiled at him and relished in an unusually happy state for Sesshomaru.
"However…" Sesshomaru began, his smile slowly fading away before glancing back over at Rin.
"I've noticed something about you Rin." He began, now turning himself in his chair to completely face Rin. Rin just sat and waiting patiently for him to continue. Others would've cowered at the observant face he was making right now.
"You have a burning distain for others who think they can easily get away with rules, or those who think they can use and manipulate people. Most people would excuse it to that to just bad people in the world; not you though. You got upset when Kohaku seemingly ignored you, and just now with my discussion with my parents." Sesshomaru pointed out. Rin felt her eyes begin to wander from him. She saw where this conversation what going. Why was she so touchy with people who thought they were so high and mighty? Why did she seem to hate people who were proud to be in control? Rin heaved a sigh and turned away from Sesshomaru, leaning forward on the counter and clasped her hands together. Sesshomaru continued to stare at her, noticing her sudden change in nature. Rin just heaved a heavy sigh. She already knew Sesshomaru's biggest secret and felt better for it…maybe it was time for her to do the same.

All right kiddies, here is the link to the Facebook page! XD It's still very new and fresh so there's plenty that can be added onto it. But from here-on-out any art, photo, or story project that I do, this Facebook page will immediately get updated, allowing you to follow the links faster and also explore any of the other projects I like to do in my spare time. For some reason, the fanfiction website doesn't like you to post other website links...at least for me anyways. So to get to my page, just type in facebook dot com, then copy and paste the following line after that and it should take you straight to the page. If that doesn't work, just log onto Facebook, and type in Jinksyfire in the Search Box. Underneath the tile 'Jinksyfire' there will be the sub-caption called 'Peace Rocks!' and a girl as the profile picture. It's me. ^^' However, if you are still having trouble accessing the Facebook page, just shoot me a private message and I'll see what I can do...because seriously there must be an easier way to share web links on here! XP
