I just want to say that if you didn't read chap. 7 yet, I want you to go back and read it. I deleted the important message off of there and put down the real chapter. My cat is getting on my nerves. She's in here running around and playing with anything that is off interest. I hope she doesn't wake up my boyfriend, and if I keep typing so loud I'll wake him up. Too late I woke him up when I through my flip flaps at the cat lol. He went back to sleep. It's just two days away from Christmas. Sorry about yapping about myself. Let's get on with the story shall we.
Chapter 8
Sango and Kagome came running towards Rin with excitement on their faces.
"Girl, you had Sango and I worrying about you. This is your first time coming home this late from a date. Don't you know it's after midnight? Tell us how the date went."
"Yeah, tell us how it went and don't leave out any details." Sango said this as Kagome and her were leading Rin to the sofa.
"I didn't know it was after midnight. I'm sorry. Now that's out the way, let me tell you about the date."
Inuyasha got up off the sofa and grabbed his jacket. "Well Miroku, I guess that's our cue to leave."
As Miroku was getting off the sofa, he grabbed his jacket and said, "Yeah, let's go."
"Bye girls," They said in unison.
As Miroku shut the door, Rin was going on about her date with Sesshomaru. Sango and Kagome were sitting there, Sango on the right and Kagome on the left. They was facing her and eating popcorn while they listened with entertainment. Sango turned off the movie so that they could hear her better.
Sesshomaru's House
As soon as Sesshomaru opened the front door someone through something at him. He ducked in time. "What's wrong with you Kagura?"
"Because of you being out this late, I had to lie to your parents and I'm late meeting my friends at the mall. We were suppose to leave at 11:30 remember? We're going out of town." Kagura said with anger in her voice as she was walking back and forth and looking at him once in a while.
"First thing first, be still. Now, I didn't know I was going to be out this late. I forgot you were supposed to be leaving at that time. What did you tell my parents and where's my daughter?"
"Knew you'd forget, I told your parents that you was cooking dinner and didn't want to be disturbed. She's in her bedroom asleep and she asked about you."
"You're lucky they called at dinnertime. I'm sorry cousin. I'll make it up to you one day. Now get your jacket and go and meet your friends."
She took her jacket from him and was on her way the door. She stopped in front of the door and turned around. "I forgot to tell you that your parents are running late because your dad at to stop at Burger King on the way home. Don't worry I deleted the message. I know you."
"That's my dad always stopping somewhere on the way home. Like I always say, you know me too good. Bye and good night."
"Bye and good night."
He shut the door and locked it. He went upstairs to his daughter's bedroom. She was still asleep when he opened the door. He went in and kissed her good night and tucked her in. "Sweet dreams my little angel." He looked back at her as he was closing the door. He closed the door shut and went to his room. (A/N: His daughter and his bedroom are right next to one another.) He was tired and exhausted. He thought about Rin as he took a warm shower. He thought about the way she looked, the way he loves the sound of her voice, and he thought about there kiss. He was thinking of those same thoughts as he was getting ready to go to bed and when he went to sleep.
At School
Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin were walking from the student parking lot to the back door of the school house. When they got to the door there was a sign on it. It read: Sorry for the inconvience, but the auditorium will be closed for rehearsal today. The props for the play tonight weren't made. It's rescheduled for Saturday of next week at 8:30 pm and the rehearsal is on Friday at 9:00 am.
"Why didn't Kikyou tell us this?" Kagome asked as she was turning around to face her friends.
"Don't know and that's what I want to know too. Both of us are in charge of the play." Rin said looking confused and she hunched her shoulders as well. "I'm the director and she's my assistance. I specifically told her that if something like this happens and she finds out about it, to come to me and tell me even if she thinks I know about it or not. I think she got back at me for seeing me at the movies last with Sesshomaru."
"You saw Kikyou at the movies last night?" Inuyasha said making Rin making come out of her thoughts to look up at him.
"Yes I did. She gave me a mean dirty look when I told her that I was there on a date with Sesshomaru. When I told her that, she just walked away."
"I think she's jealous of you." Sango said as she stepped a little bit closer to Rin.
"I think she didn't tell you because it's pay or something for going out with Sesshomaru last night. She wants us to look like fools by being the only ones here. She didn't tell us either because we're your friends and she wants us to suffer as well. It's just a hunch." Miroku said to put his opinion in the matter. When he looked at his friends, they had a surprised look on their faces.
"That was a pretty good hunch Miroku." Rin said as she was walking towards him.
They continued to talk.
At Inuyasha and Miroku's House
They stayed in the area in front of the front door. Inuyasha went to the entertainment room to get his nieces and nephews. Miroku stayed where the girls were. About five minutes later Inuyasha came out of the entertainment room with three little girls and four little boys running ahead of him. Inuyasha had them stand in a straight line facing the girls and he had them standing from youngest to oldest. "Let me introduce you girls to my nieces and nephews. This is Amy, Brianna, Kim, Danny, Zack, Vinny, and Yawncy."
Then it was Miroku's turn. "Let me introduce my nieces and nephews to the girls. This is Rin, Kagome, and Sango. They are Inuyasha and I friends."
"Nice to meet you," they said in unison as they shook hands.
"How are they related to Miroku and you Inuyasha?" Rin asked as she shooked Vinny's hand and looked at Inuyasha.
"Well, by our sister. Actually, half-sister, but our parents raised her ever since she was a baby. We never told you guys about her because we never see her that much anymore since she moved back to America, and that we never thought that there would be a day we would have to tell you guys. Her husband and she are going to another country and she wants the kids to be here. They'll be here for about three to a month."
Rin looked back at her sisters to get the okay from them and she did. She looked back at Inuyasha and said, "That's good enough for us. Let's go."
The girls said good bye and the others said see you later to Mr. and Mrs. Higorashi, and then they headed out the front door.
At The Park
The five friends sat on the bench while they watch the kids play. They gossip about kids that go to their school and the rumors they heard. After a while, the girls decided to go for a jog. On Rin's third lap around the tracks, someone had snatched her behind the bushes. She wanted to scream but she couldn't because that person's hand was over her mouth. When she turned around to see who it was, she couldn't believe who she was seeing. She just stood there in shock, facing Kohaku.
"I finally got a chance to talk to you Rin."
"W-w-w-w-what do you want?" She stammered with nerviness in her voice.
"I want you to take me back."
"Why? You're the one who broke up with me."
"I know and I regret doing that. I miss you Rin. I can't stop thinking about you, I'm failing my classes because my mind is always on you, and I cry myself to sleep regretting to ever break up with you. Now I realize how much I love you, and even for the small things. I'm not going to leave you alone and I'm not going to stop trying to get you back, until you want to go back with me. I've changed Rin"
"I'm flattered that you told me how you still feel about me, but I can't go back with you. I've found someone else. It's hard for me to believe that you've changed. I got to get back to my friends. I will think about what you said though." As she was turning around getting ready to run back on the tracks again and meet her friends, she waved good bye and said, "See you later."
Her friends were waiting in front of a bench looking down the tracks for her. When they finally saw her, they waved at her. Kagome met her halfway.
"What took you so long? You weren't that far behind when we last saw you."
As she was getting ready to answer her sister, her other friends came as well. (A/N: I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but Rin and her sisters are like friends.) "I know and Kohaku dragged me behind some bushes."
They gasped in surprised when they heard her say that. They knew how hard she's been trying to avoid him these past few days.
"What did he want?" Sango asked as she looked from Inuyasha to Miroku to Kagome and then to Rin.
"He wanted me to go back with him."
"And what did you say?"
"What did you think I told him Sango? I told him no and that I'll think about it."
"Oh, sorry I didn't know. And if you could …"
To keep Sango from saying what she was about to say, Inuyasha put his arm in front of the sisters and said, "Let's go sit back down at the bench and check back on my nieces and nephews."
"No thanks." Rin said as she looked away from Sango to Inuyasha. "I'm going over there to talk to Shippo.
"Yeah, and I'm going to go and get our drinks."
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku stood there as they watched the two sisters walk away in their own directions.
At Sam and Sammy's House
They took the kids to their friend's birthday party. They were the chaperones as well because there were too many kids there for the other two adults that were already there. Both Rin and Sango stood in one stop away from each to watch the kids, Sango stood on the left and Rin stood on the right.
"So, Kagome, why are they still made at each other?" Miroku asked as he looked away from the two sisters to Kagome.
"Sango and I always argue with Rin about keep all that frustration and all her feelings inside of her. All she does is let it build and build and it's making her hair shed. She gets mad at us for telling the truth. The best thing to do right now is to not let them two cross one another's path."
"Oh, I see and why shouldn't we let them cross one another's path?"
"You don't want to witness what happens when they do because Sango and her always argue about that and you want to trust me on that."
Inuyasha heard all what he wanted to hear and decided to say something. "That's enough chitter chatter. Now let spread out and chaperone."
They did just that. They made sure that Sango and Rin didn't cross one another's path. When it came to the part for the birthday girl and boy to decide what's their favorite place and they (A/N: The adults of course) would take them there. They picked the theatre and that's where they went.
At The Theatre
Miroku, Kagome, and Inuyasha sat with the kids and the other two adults (A/N: The birthday boy and girl's parents) in the first three front rows. Rin and Sango were still mad at one another. Rin sat in one of the middle rows and Sango sat in the last back row. It's a very good thing that the kids really like the movie they're seeing. If they didn't Rin and Sango would be needed to sit where their friends are sitting. After the movie was over, everybody had to go home. They had to stand in front of the theatre and wait for the other kids ride home to show up. After that, everybody else left.
"INUYASHA," Kagome shouted as she was running towards him.
Inuyasha turned around to see who was shouting his name. He saw that it was Kagome and raned to meet her halfway. "What do you want?"
"Tell your parents that we're going to take a rain check on the dinner she invited us to. Rin and Sango are still mad at each other. All they want is to go home and watch TV in their room. I have to be there and make sure nothing gets out of hand."
"Okay, I'll tell them and good night."
Then they went their separate ways. Kagome and her sister took a cab home. When they got home Sango and Rin raned up to their room and shut their door. Kagome sat in the living room on the sofa and watched cable.
This is going to be the last chapter I post for this month. I decided to take a Christmas and New Year's break from all of the writing. Sometime in January I'll post up the other chapters I've been working on. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I got to go, so write to you guys later.
