Inutaisho sat up from his bed and looked at his son perplexed. "Why not?" His voice boomed in annoyance. "You couldnt tell me this tomorrow? You had to barge in here and tell me youre going to break The Wildflowers heart after you clearly expressed interest in mating her?"
Sesshomaru growled at his father. "Of course I want Rin! But you need to talk to her father..." Sesshomaru paused. His father blushed. "Shouldnt my son be asking for his future wifes blessing?"
Sesshomaru frowned at his father, "Rin Ishihara is actually Rin Ichinose..." Sesshomaru watched his fathers face turn red. "No one has seen him in YEARS Sesshomaru. You know he stays secluded in that tower of his- He was protecting Rin..."
Sesshomaru nodded. "He enchanted them and stays to himself in the city drinking himself to death." He looked at Izayoi who was confused with their conversation. "Shes like Inuyasha-" Sesshomaru said in her direction.
Inutaisho put his hand on his chin. "Give me his address. I want to speak to the old dog."
Inutaisho got dressed as fast as he could. He sent his son home to watch over Rin after getting her fathers information. He hadnt seen Chief Ichinose in years. Assuming the man finally went into seclusion like most dog demons do in their old age.
He didnt bother taking a car. Instead he took off into the sky in a bright ball of light. Inutaisho worried he wouldnt be welcome into Chief Ichinoses home.
He knocked gently, already seeing a light flicker through the apartment window. It wasnt a fancy apartment but it was in a better part of town. After a minute Inutaisho knocked louder and heard a groan. The footsteps were louder than Inutaisho anticipated. He was clearly drunk.
The door flung open and immediately Inutaisho could see Rin in his eyes. Eyes he hadnt seen in years on the old man. "Chief..." He could see the man tense up.
"How?" The drunkard asked. "We need to talk about Rin. My son intends to mate her...So we need to talk about how both of our company are going to soon merge into one once theyre married, mated, and Rin finds out her father has been lying to her her whole life."
"Bring Rin and your kid... I knew he looked familiar but I thought I was just drunk."
Inutaisho shook his hand and walked out of the house. Hoping Rins father wouldnt try something funny like running off before Rin could find out the truth about her fathers past.
Sesshomaru kept looking down at his phone, waiting for his father to respond to him about Rins father. Then he kept looking over at the sleeping Rin. How much would she change if the enchantment really did break? He thought of how long Rin would actually live and felt content that it would possibly be for a long time. Inuyasha sure and hell stuck around.
His phone buzzed. Sesshomaru looked down. Plain and simple. "Tomorrow. Chiefs. Bring Rin." Shaking his head he put his phone onto his nightstand and rolled over to put a hand on Rins hip and pull her closer to him. She snuggled into him and got more comfy. He kissed the back of his head. Hoping tomorrows events wouldnt effect her too much.
Sesshomaru thought of how Rin wouldve looked in a business suit and how different she would have grown up. Then he thought about his mother and shuddered. No, his Rin would never be as tightly wound as Inukimi. Wildflowers... To his father Izayoi smelled like cherry blossums. Inukimi thought she smelled cheap. Female demons... Rin would probably smell it too if Inuyasha could smell Rin even as a half demon. Half demon to a powerful business man like their father Inutaisho. Their kids would only be a quarter human. Sesshomaru was content with what their children would grow up to be in the demon world, once Rin accepted the news about to be sprung on her. He closed his eyes and listened to the soft noises of Rins sleeping.
The next morning Sesshomaru woke up to the smell of a human breakfast. He smirked knowing Rin wouldnt crave that food once she turned. She would start to crave raw meats. Maybe jaken would enjoy her cooking more. Jaken was always much more vocal about hating the smell.
Sesshomaru got out of bed and looked into his closet for a suit fitting enough for a business man. After adjusting his tie he walked out of his bedroom and down a set of stairs. Rin was humming one of her favorite songs. He never asked her where the song was from and just enjoyed that she was happy enough to sing around him. When Rin spotted him, her face lit up. Sesshomaru frowned because he knew his news would wipe the smile clear from her face.
"Good morning Doctor!" She got on her tippy toes and kissed Sesshomarus cheek. She smelled like cooked meat and grease. Not a little wildflower. That would change after. They would definitely get a cook soon.
"Good morning Rin." Sesshomaru bent down so they were face to face. "Were going to see your father today. It's important." Rin nodded. "I haven't seen him... Since the police came and took me away..." She looked over to Ah who was already begging for her food. She sighed and fed him some of her bacon. "Lets get this over with before he starts to drink for the day... Nothing he says will make sense anymore."
Rin walked past Sesshomaru to go put on day clothes instead of the pajamas she had cooked in. Sesshomaru noticed she didnt touch a bite of her food. Silly hum- half human thought she could food him? He picked up her plate and put it in the fridge. Walking to the living room to sit on the couch, Sesshomaru looked at the time. Rin wouldnt be ready for another 15 minutes so he looked at his phone and texted his father when they would be leaving for Chiefs.
25 minutes had passed and Sesshomaru was getting impatient. Rin would just have to go as she was, he decided. So he made his way up the stairs. He could smell her tears coming from her bedroom. He knocks, knowing Rin wouldnt want him to just come in.
"Do I have to go?" She asked. Her voice hoarse from crying. "Yes. Like I said Rin, it's important. We can never wed if we dont talk to Chief himself."
The door unlocked and Rin walked out in a baggy hoodie and shorts that were almost too short that it made her look pantsless. Dirty old converse she hadnt work in months because she was trying out a girly look for Sesshomaru.
He raised an eyebrow at her. She looked like a completely different person to him now. She covered her smell in too much perfume it made Sesshomaru want to pinch his nose.
"I don't want him to think you've been spoiling me..." Again she walked past him without another word and down the stairs to the front door. "My father and his driver will be getting us. They should be waiting right now, Rin."
Sesshomaru opened the door for Rin and locked it beside himself. Inutaisho was already outside of the car waiting to open the door for Rin as well. "They do spoil me..." She thought to herself before getting in. Both men were dressed up in business attire almost looking identical. Except Inutaishos hair was in its classic ponytail and Sesshomaru hadnt touched his at all. Both men looked incredible and she was dressed like the old Rin she knew her father would be comfortable around.
"Its not like my father is the president of the united states..." Rin grumbled. "What you usually wear would have been okay with him... He'll probably be too drunk to care what youre wearing anyway." She stared out the window not noticing the glances the men shot each other at her words. She grabbed Sesshomarus hand as she started to recognize the buildings they were passing by. Her fathers should be coming up soon.
Inutaisho tipped his driver and told him to drive around until he called to be picked up. The driver nodded and waited for the three individuals to exit the car. The driver recognized the area they were in from the time Sesshomaru first ordered him to drive into the area. The driver waited for him but ended up calling Jaken to bring one of his cars because he would be off duty soon and needed to get home to his own family.
The three walked and Rins breath quickened. What was so important that her father couldnt write to her or call? Her instinct to run away was starting to get strong. She hadnt felt like this since Sesshomaru growled at her for asking about Miss Inukimi. Which she now realized wasnt all that bad the way she hunted her down like an animal for 'fun'
"Can we go?" She whispered to Sesshomaru, not remembering that Inutaisho could hear her whispers anyway. Sesshomaru shook his head and held onto her tighter.
Inutaisho waited a minute for Rin to catch her breath before he started to knock on the door. Within moments there was an answer. Rins eyes widened. She didnt recognize the man in front of her.
"Dad?" She asked with a shaky voice. The man nodded. "We need to talk babygirl..." Rin studied his features. He looked younger and carried himself much like Inutaisho and Sesshomaru. Not stumbling around like the old drunk man she used to know. His salt and pepper colored beard was now all plain black and he didnt come off as the sad man she used to know. What had changed since she last saw him.
It was a long hour filled with Rin crying and cursing at all three men for keeping this secret. The two silver haired demons couldnt warn her before? She HAD to hear it from her father? Since Rins mom died her father had the ability to take off his glamour but chose to drink and keep Rin in the dark? How was that fair to her? She had barely scraped by when all this time her father could have helped her. Drinking cheap liquor and hoping one day it would kill her when in reality it couldnt because her demon half healed her so fast. She would have been destined to that fate if she never met Sesshomaru at the hospital.
"Rin?" Her father reached out a clawed hand to her. She flinched away and stood up. "I need a drink." She walked to the kitchen before she could hear three separate tones of growls. Sesshomarus being the deepest.
"None of you liars can stop me!" She huffed to the front door before being pinned to the wall by Sesshomaru. "My mate will not be drinking today." He warned. She tried to push him off of her. "Then go find her! Go find some other bitch to boss around!"
He let her go and watched as she stormed out the front door. Some other bitch? Did she think him that much of a dog? Inutaisho and Rins father were soon behind Sesshomaru.
"Let her calm down son. We need to discuss our companies now. She will be fine. She doesnt have any money on her...Right?"
Chief shrugged. "She always found a way with Hakudoshi..."
Their eyes widened and almost instantly the three were out the door following Rins scent.
"Yes the wildflower scent." Inutaisho confirmed before Chief could ask. He breathed in for his daughters scent. His heightened senses overwhelming him. He forgot how good it felt to be a demon again.
Kagura was not far when she could see Rin walking from the apartment complex she stalked them into. Why would they all need to talk to her father unless to get Rins fathers blessing for a marriage? This wouldnt do. Naraku would have her head. Naraku kept the truth about Rin being a half demon and future owner to the Ichinose company. She just thought that they all like the way she smelled or something.
In an instant she was next to Rin. She could smell Sesshomaru on her. "You can have him back Kagura. Im done with all the dog men in my life." That comment confused her. Dog men? As in all three Taishos or were there more than that? "Buy me a drink to celebrate." And with that Kagura started to follow Rin. She knew she had no choice and maybe she could get Rin drunk enough to go back to Naraku once and for all.
much longer update this time! I've been restless and trying to figure out how to put these thoughts into words. Inbetween nightmares and insomnia i had a lot of time to put into this story in particular-RinAmelia
