Chapter 11

"So, why am I here again?"

"Like I said, it's a surprise. He took hold of Rin's hand a led her to the stairs. "Now let's go up stairs to my room."

They went up stairs to his room. When they got to his door, they stopped and Kohaku turned Rin facing the door. He pulled out a blind fold and placed it over her eyes. "Now are you sure you can't see anything?" He said as he put his hands on her shoulders.

"Yes I'm sure. It's totally blackness and that's all I can see."

"Ok," he said as he opened the door. He got in front of her and took hold of her hands and led her to a table in the center of his room. "Now my mom and dad went to my brothers' banquet. I would've gone with them, but this is the only time I'll have time to do this. Now, stay right there." He pulled a chair from underneath the table and took Rin by the right hand and put her in front of the chair. He went behind the chair and put his hand on it. "Now, sit down." She did just that and he scoot her chair up to the table. He went to the other side of the table and sat down in his chair. "You can take off the blind fold now."

She took off the blind fold and couldn't believe what she saw. In front of both of them was a bowl with jambalaya in it, with the fork on the right side of the bowl, the glass of champagne on the left side, three candles set in the middle of the table. There was a big candle in the middle with one small candle on both side of it, but there spread out a little in a straight line. The champagne bottle is to the right of them, but it's between them and its a little bit closer to the end of the table in the center. The only light in the room is coming from the candles.

"What do you think? Did I do a good job at setting this up?"

"I think it's romantic and you did a great job at setting this up."

They started eating in silence. A couple of minutes later, Kohaku broke up the silence. "What is your answer to my question?"

"The answer is still no and I'm sorry. I found someone else and I love him. I really appreciate that you did this all for me, but I just can't get back with you. I have to get going."

"Wait," he said stopping her from leaving. "You don't want seconds?"

"Yes I'll have seconds."

Kohaku lean over to the right and picked up a big storage container with leftovers in it. He took Rin's plate and champagne glass from her and refilled both of them and handed them back to her when he was finished. A few minutes after she started eating, Kohaku decided to ask her a question.

"Please say yes. I'm about to lose my job and I'm doing poorly in school. My family is tired of me looking depressed. They hoped that this meal got you to take me back, and if it didn't they don't know what will." He started to cry. "I'm not going to give up on us. I'm going to keep doing this until you say yes."

She signed as she dropped the fork into the bowl. "Look, I will always love you, but I can't go back with you because every time I do think about going back with you, I remember all the bad things you did and say. I don't know if I can trust you on that. You say that you've change but I can't believe it." After she said that, she looked up at him.

"I did change. Please believe me." He started to cry badly this time. I love you more than anything in this world. You're my happiness. I can't think of ever living without you. My friends don't want to hang out with me half of the time because I'm always crying when I think about you. They're tired of me being sad around them, so they're avoiding me until I straighten up or get back with you." He sat there in a gaze thinking as he was crying, but he looked happy.

She felt sorry for him. "What am I doing? I can't stand to see or hear him going through all this trouble with work, school, family, and friends all because of me. I should say yes so that he can go back to feeling happy and doing good." She thought to herself. "Kohaku?"

"Yes?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"You know what I want you to do."

She thought about it for a second. "Okay, my answer is yes, but you must not treat me the same way you treated me before. Okay?"

He had a smile on his face as he said, "Okay." He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

"I'll just have him think that I'm in a relationship with him, but I'm not. I can't break up with Sesshomaru. We've been going out for a week and four days. So, I'll stay in a relationship with him as well. If something goes wrong with either one, I'll break it off and choose the other." She thought to herself as he went down stairs to call his family and friends and tell them the great news. She went to the stairway a few minutes after he left. She heard laughter coming from down stairs. She stood there for a few minutes listening. "KOHAKU," she shouted.

"YEAH," he shouted back from down stair stairs in the living room.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH THE FOOD AND CHAMPAGNE?"

"BRING IT DOWN HERE."

"OK."

She went back into the room and turned on the light and went to the table and blew out the candles and took hold of a bowl in her right hand and put the champagne bottle under her right arm and picked up the other bowl and carried it in her left hand. When she made it to the living room without spilling anything, Kohaku was just hanging up the phone. "Put them on the table over there and I'll go upstairs and take care of ever thing else. Don't go yet okay. It's only 5:30. I want us to watch a movie."

"It's not long is it? I have to be home before 9 o'clock. She said as she put the stuff on the table. Our parents are taking Sango and me to the movies to see Last Holiday."

"No, it's not that long. Who's going to be at the house with Kagome?"

"Our aunt is. She'll be off her punishment tomorrow. She turned around to face him and said, by the way, if you want to have time to see that movie, you might want to go on up stairs and do what you have to do."

"Okay and I'll be right back." He left around the corner and Rin heard his footsteps going fast up the stairs.

She sat down on the sofa and took off her shoes and put her knees up to her chest. She sat there thinking how long she can keep a relationship going between two guys and how to keep other people out of her business.

Kohaku came from around the corner with the champagne glasses between his fingers in his right hand and the storage container in his left hand. He put them down on the table and he broke Rin's thought when he said, "Get your feet off the sofa. My parents down like that when people do that." She did what he told her to do.

"What are we looking at?"

"You'll see," he said as he went over to the TV. He turned on the TV and the DVD player. He picked up the movie and popped it in.

"Why can't we watch it in your room?" As she said this, he was walking to the sofa.

"My parents came up with a new rule. He plopped down and turned to look at her and she looked at him. "The TV in the living room, we can only look at VHS and DVDs on it. The TV in our rooms, we can only look at cable on them."

"Oh, okay. I didn't know that."

"Now you do."

They turned away and started looking at the movie. When the menu came up, Rin was surprised to see what it was. "It's Save the Last Dance. I haven't seen this movie in months and it's one of my favorite movies."

"I know it's one of your favorites."

They looked at one another and blushed. They smiled as they looked away. They sat there in silence looking at the movie while they ate and drank.

At the Higurashi's House

Rin took her watch out of her purse to see what time it was, "its 8:30 and I have enough time to change."

"I told you that the movie wasn't going to take that long."

"Thank you for walking me home tonight. Well, I have to go inside and get ready."

He took hold of Rin's arm. "Aren't you going to give me a hug and kiss goodnight?"

She looked around with her eyes to make sure no one was spying on her. "Yes." She looked to the right as she came closer to him. She smiled and gave him a hug and kiss good night. She smiled at him one last time with a blush on her face, before she turned around and went into the house.

"It's about time you're home." Her mom said as she came out of the kitchen. "We're all dressed and ready and waiting for you."

"Don't you think you should change out of that dress and change into something else?" Her dad asked as he was getting off the sofa and Sango getting up after him.

"Yes sir," Rin answered with nerviness in her voice. Then she ran upstairs to change cloths. She went to her closet and opened it. "What to wear she thought?" She thought. She thought about what her mom, dad, and sister was wearing. Her mom was wearing blue jeans pants with a green shirt with Ziggy on it. Her dad was wearing blue jeans pants with a black shirt and Sango was wearing black pants with glitter and stars on it with a black shirt with glitter and big star in the middle of it. So, she grabbed a pants outfit out of her closet. She looked at it to make sure it was in good condition and it was. She got dressed fast. The only thing she left on when she went to Kohaku's house was the necklace. She wore blue jeans carpenter pants with a white shirt with Bugs Bunny popping out of a baseball field with a glove on his left hand trying to catch the ball and the word: Atlanta Braves was written on the bottom of it. She looked herself over in the mirror and then ran downstairs.

"Bout time sis, mom and dad are waiting outside in front of the house. We've got fifteen minutes left. Now, come on."

"Okay and where's auntie?"

"She's in the laundry room." Sango grabbed Rin by the hand. "Now let's go before we're late."

They ran outside as Rin closed the door behind her. They hopped in the van and sped off.

At the Theatre

"I want you girls to save our spots, while your dad and I pay for the refreshments." Mrs. Higurashi got up and said one more thing before she left. "Don't let anyone get our seats okay?"

Sango looked at her mom. "Don't worry, we're not going to let anyone ya'll seats. Now, go and get the refreshments before the line get long."

"Okay and it shouldn't take us long."

She left and Sango turned around and started staring at all of the people who was in there. "Soooo, do you see anyone in here who is familiar?"

Rin shot a quick glance at Sango and looked around the room to see if she did. "Um…let me see… no…" she touched Sango on the arm and said, "wait, I do see someone."

"Who?" Sango asked as she sat up and started searching trying to see what her sister saw.

"I'm not saying because he might her me." As she pointed, she said, "Right there."

Sango followed her finger. She opened her mouth in shock and her heart started racing at what she saw. She saw Miroku sitting with a girl she never saw before. They were sitting three rows ahead of them. They were having themselves such a jolly good time. (A/N: I know that sound corny, but it's the only thing I could think of.)

"Are you okay Sango?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm okay." She looked back at Miroku and that girl. "I wonder who she is." She thought to herself.

Their parent's came back in time with the refreshments as the movie was starting. While they were looking at the movie, Sango glanced at Miroku and that mysterious girl every now and then when something catches her eye when they do or say something. She was feeling hurt, angry, and jealous all at the same time. "Why I should be hurt? I don't have feelings for him." She said in a whisper.

"What did you say honey?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she kept an eye on the movie while she leaned to the left to hear her daughter more clearly.

"Huh. Oh nothing," She said as she waved it away.

Mrs. Higurashi sat back up and started watching the movie. When the movie was over she tried to keep up with them, but she lost them when they was walking down the pathway to the exit door and when her and her family was walking to the car. As she was opening the car door, she saw them going pass them and Miroku didn't shot her not one glace. "Have he given up on trying to go out with me?" She thought to herself.

"SANGO," Rin shouted as she snapped her fingers.

She came back to reality when Rin called her name. She got into the car and they left to go home. They didn't go out to eat because Mr. Higurashi was going to take them out to eat tomorrow.

At the Higurashi's House in Rin's Room

Rin sat on her bed as she brushed her damp hair as she watched Case Closed on TV. Sango and Kagome walked in as it was going off. Sango sat in front of her while Kagome sat to the right of her. "What do you want?"

"We figured out what happened at Sesshomaru's house yesterday." Sango said with a sly smile on her face. "But, I figured out everything because Kagome didn't remember what you talked about on the phone last night."

Kagome nodded her head in agreement. "Don't you want to know how she figured it out?"

"Yes, do tell me Sango."

"Alright," She turned around to face Rin completely and she sat in Indian style (A/N: You know how someone sits with their legs crossed). "First I thought about you said that you left your bra and panties over his house. I pondered on that thought for some time and then it hit me."

"That's when it hit me too."

They looked at Kagome and then they looked back at one another.

"Like I was saying, that's when it hit me. The only time you leave your bra and panties over a guy's house is when you're in a rush to leave. The only time you do that is when you have sex with him or whatever you want to call it."

"What, how did you know that?"

"You told us."

"I do?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"And one more thing," Kagome said as she sat in Indian style. "You also told us the only time you do that is when it feels so good that you decide to stay a little bit longer than expected. Don't you remember what we told you to do?"

"I guess I told you guys more than I thought. No I don't."

"Do it on a day you don't have to do something right after you have sex with the guy. That's how Sango and I do it. It wouldn't hurt you to put back on your bra and panties."

"You know I don't like to put them back on because I don't want to get them dirtier than they all ready are."

There was a knock on the door. "Come in," they said in unison. It was there aunt. "Hi Aunt Sakura," they said in unison again.

"Hi girls, and aren't my favorite nieces going to give me a hug and kiss good night before I leave?"

They smiled and said, "Yes ma'am." They got off the bed and gave their aunt a hug and kiss good night. Rin closed her door and followed her sisters to her bed.

"Tell us what happened." Sango said as she moved the remote out of her way to lay down on the bed.

Rin crawled over Kagome to lie between her sisters. "What do you want to know?"

"The part from when you meet him and his little sister at the park to the part when you got home."

When Rin opened her mouth to say something, Kagome interrupted her. "Leave out the juicy parts. You know not to go way down into detail?"

"I know that. What kind of fool do you take me for?"

Sango looked over at Kagome. "We don't take you for a fool now do we Kagome?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and singed. "No we don't and you can go on with the story."

Sango and Kagome sat there listening to her every word making sure they don't miss out on anything. They stayed up till 2 o'clock watching Invader Zim. When it went off Sango and Kagome were asleep. Rin didn't want to disturbed them because she knows how they get if she does, so she let the sleep. She turned off the TV and went to sleep lying between her sisters.

At the Higorashi's House in Inuyasha's Bedroom

Inuyasha and Miroku was coming up with a plan of how their going to ask Kagome and Sango out and when they should do it. They were writing it down as well so that they wouldn't forget some of it. "How did your night at the movies went with our cousin Miroku?"

"It went fine. I made sure no guys were trying to hit on her either. I thought I saw Sango there but I wasn't sure. Every time I double check to see if it was her I couldn't tell because someone would get in my way or I couldn't find her."

"I think that you think that you're seeing her because you're thinking about her too much."

Their nieces and nephews came running into the room mess up everything on the bed. They even messed up the drawing he did of Kagome. He was furious. "YOU LITTLE SNOT NOSE UNDISCIPLNE, UNRESPECTFUL, LITTL MUNGRIL BRATS, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM." He shouted. His hair was sticking up and he had fire in his eyes and you could've sworn you felt the house shook. They left running. They were crying with their feelings hurt and with fright on their faces. "Miroku, where are?" He looked all over the room for him.

"I'm down here."

He heard a small voice coming from somewhere on the floor. When he looked down on the floor closer to his bed, he saw Miroku hiding between his bed and his night stand and he was up against the wall and he looked up at him with fright and he waved at him with a smile on his face. "Why are you hiding?"

"You're scary when you get like that. Miroku got up. Let me close the door and lock it before they come back." He went and did that. "I hope she wasn't there. Doesn't Kagome get off her punishment tomorrow?"

"Yes."

They stayed up the rest of the night planning and Inuyasha put the drawing up and decided to fix it in the morning.

I told you the next chapter was going to be long. I hope you liked it. I'm writing another story. The name of it is My Summer Vacation at Band Camp. Keep sending in reviews.
