Chapter 21: A Piece Of My Mind
The sunlight peaks its way through the oversized mansion windows of a bedroom. With its light inside makes it easy for anyone to look around. The only thing to find is a bed not made but used at the time being. One side of the bed has a black haired beauty Kagome along with black dog ears on top of her head. She turns to her side to the right side of the bed. She exposes her creamy colored face in a peaceful expression, like she's in Heaven. A few seconds later she opens her chocolater brown eyes and looks to the clock and it said 7:00 am. Realizing what time it was. She gets the bed comforter off of her quickly and gets out. But then a strong thing wraps itself around her waist. She finds it's a muscular arm. She grasps it and tries to get it off. Just one touch made it tighter on the grasps. She grins and came up with an idea. She bends her elbow and and bangs the arm. But just when she made contact, the other strong arm catches her and stops it. "Kagome do you honestly think I'd still be asleep throughout this time?" A male voice from behind whispers into her ear. Kagome turns to find Inuyasha grinning down at her. Finding herself so close to him, she blushes a bright pink and turns her face away. He keeps his grin and gently takes her chin and turns her look back to him, "It's going to take awhile for you to handle your new transformation. Take it easy." He kisses her forehead. Kagome sighs, "How does it take to do so?" She asks him as she scratches her ear on top of her head. Inuyasha takes her place, "About a week to week and half. It depends on how you handle it." He answers her question. Then a thought struck her. "Inuyasha we have to get ready for school. We can't be late." She said as she gets out of bed and quickly goes into the bathroom. Unfortunately Inuyasha outruns her before she closes the door. "Kagome you have no idea do you?" Inuyasha raises a brow at her, blocking her way to go any further in the bathroom. "Inuyasha, no is not the time to ask stupid questions. We have to get ready. Will you please move?" She asks impatiently. Inuyasha grins more, which makes Kagome back away from him. "It's not a stupid question. Little do you know it's Saturday." He covers her with his hands on the door above her head. Seeing herself trapped, she gulps. "I guess I must be the stupid one around." She quietly said to him. Inuyasha changes his grin to a smile. "You just sometimes lose track of time." He comments her, scratching the ear. Kagome can handle the sensation anymore and begins to purr like a cat in pleasure. He sees the advantages and scoops her into his arms and make their way back to the bed. "Now my mate, you must relax and get used to your new form." He instructs her as he lays her done onto the bed. "But I..." She protests him. He presses his clawed finger on her lips. "Just do as I say, Kagome." He said seriously this time. She can see there's no point to protest him any further. "Alright." She said before she falls asleep. Seeing the peaceful expression in her sleep made Inuyasha smiles and leaves her alone for the time being.
Outside of the bedroom, Inutaishou and Sesshomaru sercretly eavesdrops them. "Now you know why Inuyasha has her as his mate?" Inutaishou said to him as they walk away from the door. "I pretty much knew that already, father." Sesshomaru replies to him with a smug. Inutaishou shakes his. "How do you think I got Rin as my mate?" Sesshomaru gets his attention. "Did someone mentioned me?" Rin asks him as she comes up the stairs. "Ah Rin, I was indeed talking about how you and I became mates." Sesshomaru smiles as he wraps his arm around her waist. "Ah yes, it was the day I injured my ankel." She starts off…
Flashback
Sesshomaru is at his senior year sitting under a chery blossom tree, reading a random book, not for any particular subject of school. Soon the school door slams open and out comes a younger Rin runner away from something. "Get back here you bitch."A violent voice yells at her as a little older man chases her. "I'm not a bitch!" Rin shouts back to him as she is ovbiously weaken for running for so long. "There's nowhere for you to run." The boy shouts as he managed to gain up on her. Rin spots Sesshomaru. "Please help me." She cries to him. The boy spots him as well, and stiffens. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He scaredly warns as he is shocked to see Rin isn't aware that she doesn't know about Sesshomaru's background. Unfortunately Rin didn't take his word and hides behinds the tree Sesshomaru is sitting. Sesshomaru changes his attention to the girl from his book. "What do you think you're doing?" He coldly asks Rin. He can see that she's not afraid of him but towards the boy who is approaching him cautiously. "He accused me of cheating on a game." Rin answers him. Being a dog demon that he is, he can tell that she is telling the truth so far. But he still was interested on hearing the boy's side of the side. He turns his look to the boy. "And what game would that be?" He asks him coldly to him. The boy stammers, "It's just a card game." He answers the question. By the rate of his heart rate, it's not a complete truth. "I assume it wasn't any card game you two played." Sesshomaru raises an eyebrow, intrigued about this. "Yeah a game of strip poker." Rin remarks him. Sesshomaru is now slightly shocked this time. He knows full well that it's against school rules to play such card games which included bets that are even unbearable to place for any student. "Bankotsu you know fully well as we do that it's forbidden to do this things." Rin glared at him. "Big deal no one is even out here…" Bankotsu said but stopped from a growl from Sesshomaru. "Yeah no one is even out here. You forget so fast you'd wouldn't think about the consequences would be." Rin said to him. Bankotsu studders a bit and steps back as Sesshomaru raises up from his sitting position. "You know for sure she is telling the truth throughout this time, and it turns out that you're pathetic as I speak." Sesshomaru stands about a few inches taller than him. "I heard about you. You're Inutaishou's son. Sesshomaru Takahashi." Bankotsu shows fear in eyes as the feared voice. Sesshomaru smirks, "You also know about my reputation?Well you must know what it is. I can tell my father about this problem, and he knows how to punish any student except me and my little brother who breaks any of the rules. And you must know that I'll be more than happy to personally take you to him or give you a piece of my mind to teach you a lesson not breaking the rules." He narrows his eyes with a death glare. Rin is shocked to see how terrified Bankotsu is, just terrified, yet petrified just from the stare. "Now do I make myself clear?" Sesshomaru warns his question. Bankotsu gulps with his nod a runs away. Rin comes out from behind the tree and walks up to him. "You really showed him." She comments his conversation. "Don't mention it." Sesshomaru replies as he retrieves his book that Rin picked up for him. "And you're father is the founder of this school?" She asks him curious of his father. "He is as well as most of the buildings and T.U." He answers her. "And I assume you'll be taking his place?" She asks him as well. "Not all of it. I'll take over the Hospital in Downtown." He answers turns to her. "And it turns out that you've been here for a short time." He adds. Rin is surprised. "How do you know?" She asks him. "I'm practically working for my father as well, so I know who is here and how long they're been here." He states his facts. "I'm quite shocked to see that you have placed yourself with the 'danger students'" He tells her as they walk to the parking lot. "Danger students?" Rin tilts her head. "Yeah you see Bankotsu is part of the BO7 of the school. They may have decent grades but they all have bad things to do, and frankly you slipped into their trap accidentally." He explains to her as they approach Sesshomaru White gold Cadellac. "I didn't know that. Even though I'm the newbie." Rin comments her position. Sesshomaru becomes more intrigued. "So Rin, would you like a ride?" He offers her with the passenger door open for her. Rin is off guard. She didn't know that he would be a gentleman behind a cold expression. "I guess so." She answers as she gets in.
During the ride, no one spoke a word. Sesshomaru didn't even asked Rin where she lives. "So uh, Rin, where is your house?" He asks her nicely. Hearing that question formed tears on her wood brown eyes, "My house was burnt down." She answers his question. Sesshomaru didn't see that coming. Then again he could pick a slight scent of smoke coming off her. "I'm sorry to hear that. I should've asked." He apologizes to her. Rin shakes her head, "Don't be. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. As well losing my entire family in the process." She explains her past. "So then you have no where to go?" He asks her. All she does is shake her head again. "I'm just lucky that I was able to go to school." She adds as she looks out the window. Sesshomaru feels guilty. He can't stand leaving a defenseless girl out on the streets and then something bad to happen to her that might kill him. "Rin I think it's best that you stay with me from now on." Sesshomaru suggests as he pulls up to the mansion gates. The gate opens to let him in and then he parks the car into the garage. Now Rin is speechless. How can she accept this? She just met this man and now he is offering her to stay with him at this mansion he lives. Sesshomaru turns off the car and gestures her to follow him inside.
Rin stays close to Sesshomaru as they walk down the hallway, not even knowing where she's going, but Sesshomaru does. They come into a fancy living with white leather furniture and elegent tables that went with them. Even a 54 flat screen mounted on the wall is impressing her. Her home wasn't as close to this life style. "Sesshomaru, I see you brought a guest with you." Inutaishou said to them as he enters another way into the living room. "Father, this here is Rin. She's been bullied by Bankotsu." Sesshomaru said with a serious look to his father. "I see, and does her family want to do about it?" Inutaishou asks as he takes a seat on the leather couch. "No they cannot do anything about it." Sesshomaru replies as he sits into another couch across. "And why's that, Rin?" Inutaishou asks her with gentle look. Rin saddens her look. "They were killed by the house we lived it. It unexpectedly caught on fire. I wasn't there when it happened and it was the last time I saw them." She sighs with her bangs covering her eyes. "She's right. I can smell some burn scent coming from her." Inutaishou explains to them. "Sesshomaru did anything else happened?" He asks his son now. "Nothing in particular. I was reading under the school's Cherry Blossom Tree and Bankotsu chased her towards me. And it turned out that they did illegal gambling at the school." Sesshomaru answers thoroughly. "I see. I bet you taught him a lesson not to do it. You know how the BO7 are when either of us are not looking." Inutaishou states as he attentively stares are Rin. "And I was accidentally drawn to them. They said if I won, they'd rebuild my burnt house. But if I didn't, I was to be their slave." Rin explains the circumstances of the bet. "And I take it that you lost, and that's why he chased you." Inutaishou asks her. Rin nods to him. Sesshomaru and his father look at each other before turn their faces back towards her. "Well it does seems that you have been through a hard time lately since you lost your family. So my son and I will have you to live with us." Inutaishou said to her. Rin smiles thankfully. "How can I ever repay you for what you've done for me? I don't even have the right amount of money." She replies to him. Inutaishou shows a smile, "The only thing you can give us is to be my son's mate." He tells her. Rin didn't see that coming. She faints…
End Of Flashback
"Yeah that's one thing I'll never forget." Rin said to Sessomaru as they enjoy their dinner at the fanciest restaurant in the city. "All because of the BO7" Sesshomaru grins at her. Rin caught the sight, "You should consider yourself lucky that you're my mate and not the BO7's slave. If you did ended up like that, your life would be a living hell." He reminds her. Rin shakes her head with a smirk and they resume their meal.
I wanted to write chappie with Sesshomaru and Rin's past. Hope you liked it.
