I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 25

Rin just sat there trying dancing around poking her head around the curtain every ten seconds then she would worry her lip dace a bit behind stage then she would peek around the curtain again. He wasn't here! Rin didn't know what to think about that because she was terrified. It was difficult enough to be here without him here but this was killing her. He promised! And it was killing her that he wasn't here when today had already been horrible for her and now she was here alone.

She was going to cry if he didn't show up soon.

Rin peeked around the curtain again hoping to see him there. There was still no one in the chair where she had taped his reserved sign; which she had made today too so that he wouldn't sit in the back; and put Maru to ward people away from his seat. Rin frowned a bit the swatted off the Shiori girl as she continued to worry. Rin was terrified of being here if he wasn't here. She had enough things to worry about today but he had promised.

Again her eyes peeked around the curtain searching for him in fear of him breaking his promise. Her mom broke promises all the time, her father wasn't around and everyone broke promises to her lately. But she had slight hope that Sesshomaru wouldn't let her down. But right now, her six year old heart was breaking as she waited vainly for him to show up. Her world was collapsing at this moment because every time she peeked around that curtain he wasn't there.

"Rin, sweetie, we're going on in five minutes please get in your spot." She looked up at her teacher then pouted a bit.

"But he isn't here," Rin pouted. The only one in here for her at this moment was Maru and she didn't liked that one bit. Her ballet teacher knelt to her level, Rin scowled at Hitomiko who looked at her reassuringly at her.

"But Rin, your father would want you to preform anyway," Hitomiko said sweetly.

"Sesshomaru isn't my father!" Rin shouted then she stomped off to her spot for the performance. She didn't want to do this without him here but she would because this was her activity which he had signed her up for. Still she didn't want to perform without him here. Rin bit her lip again as she stood beside Shiori and waited for the show to start. Her heart was slamming in her ribs, her small frame was wracked with fear, and her brain was numb as she tried to think of what Sesshomaru had told her to do when she was scared. But her mind was unfairly blank as she trembled and tried to ready herself for the show which she would have to endure, which she would have to perform in without anyone there to support her. Rin wanted to scream in her frustration at being alone and betrayed again.

The fourteen discarded his duffel bag of sports gear as he ran through the residual hall. He tugged on a clean shirt while he ran towards the audience hall where Rin's recital was. He hopped a bit as he tried to keep his shoe on and not fall on his face, he made a mental note to buy his girl flowers after this and ice cream. But first he had to get there or else he'd deal with the tears. And he was so not dealing with the fucking tears, else there'd be hell to pay with his father who was the reason he was so late getting here. Damn InuTaisho and Inuyasha! Them and there incisive need to talk to him about nothing when he had important commitments to keep to.

"Think she'll cry if we're not there?" he glanced at the wolf who was running with him trying to change as they ran towards the performance hall.

"Rin won't care if you're not there but I'm not dealing with tears!" he snapped in frustration while shoved his way into the hall while holding his cleats. Damn this was getting close! He noted the empty seat up front, there were sad murmurs through some of the parents so he dashed up there leaving Koga in the back of the hall because he had a feeling that that seat up there which was empty was reserved for him. Sure enough there was a taped note and Maru waiting for him.

This Seat Is For My Sesshomaru! Don't Sit Here!

Sesshomaru smirked a bit then let out an indignant huff as he took the note, folded it into his pants pocket then sat there with that infernal stuffed dog in his hand as he watched the curtain roll back and there was Rin. Her eyes widened and with his inu daiyōkai hearing he heard her gasp then her glee and then her calmness while he watched her witht hat infernal stuffed dog in his lap. The recital wasn't half bad for six year olds, and as he watched his Rin dance he enjoyed her smile. The show finally ended, he retrieved the stupid wolf as they went back stage to wait for Rin.

"Sesshomaru!" she screamed at the top of her lungs when she came barreling out of the changing room. Koga grinned, Sesshomaru just focused on not being plowed into the ground by Rin's air tackle hug. "You came!"

"Rin," he greeted coldly.

"No need to be so cold to her! She's adorable and she did an amazing recital! Be nice to the kid!" Koga snapped at him. Rin turned to look at the ookami then she smiled.

"Koga! Rin was happy Sesshomaru-sama showed up!" Rin explained with glee he internally groaned at her childish talk returning after a year of them working to get rid of it. But he didn't mind as he stood there holding his Rin there.

"Can we get ice-cream!?" Rin demanded tugging on his silver hair.

"Hn," was his response as he carried her out of the building and grabbed his disguarded duffel.

"Yeah Sesshomaru-sama, ice-cream for all of us mutt," Koga tormented him and he growled in irritation only for Rin to laugh.

"Yes!" Rin giggled as she hugged his neck and held Maru tightly. "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream!" Rin chanted and he knew they were going for ice-cream for sure. But he laughed when Rin turned in his arms, grabbed Koga's ponytail then screamed her chant in the wolf's ear. The wolf's blue eyes bugged out of his skull and Rin grinned evilly.

"That's for being late to Rin's dance!" she informed them and both of them sighed but didn't elaborate for her as they walked to the ice-cream shop Rin loved. "Don't make Rin worry like that again!"

"Alright, alright kid, you win!" Koga conceded.

"Hn," Sesshomaru conceded.

"Promise, Sesshomaru-sama promise," she persisted as she tugged his elfin ear.

"Alright Rin, I promise to never be late again," he said solemnly. She smile broadly, the ookami grinned slightly as they continued towards the shop.

Hey, long time no updates. Sorry about that...

Not really to be honest, I've had a nice relaxing time as I ignored my writing in general; I haven't been writing at all these past few days. It wasn't writer's block if you're wondering, I don't suffer from that but I'm by nature a procrastinator so when I decide not to do anything I usually don't.

There'll be more updates tomorrow!

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
