Chapter 7
He knew this day will come, but he did not realize how soon it would be. Sesshomaru stared as Rin started packing her things into her luggage. He had only a few moments with her and already she was leaving him. He needed more time. Wanted more time with her. And even then, it would not be enough.
Taisho stared at his son's dramatic crestfallen and heartbroken facial expression as if Rin was leaving him for good. He shook his head and wondered if the dramatics came from Sesshomaru's mother. He then turned his head to watch Rin packing her things messily into her small Hello Kitty! luggage. Well, it was more of her picking her things up in her arms and just carelessly dropping them into the luggage, making a big pile.
His mind flew back to what had happened this morning. Izayoi told him to wake up Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Rin for breakfast. Inuyasha was the first one he woke up. Always grumpy in the mornings, Inuyasha would literally give in to his demonic side. Before his fangs and claws could elongate, Taisho told him that Izayoi made his favorite pancakes. Immediately, Inuyasha turned back to his human form and jumped up from his bed with excitement. Taisho cringed at the immediate change in his son but let out a sigh of relief soon after. At least, Inuyasha would not be destroying any furniture.
After successfully waking up Inuyasha, he left to wake up Sesshomaru but found he was not in his room. Confused, he went to Rin's room next. What he saw made his mouth agape and a small bead of sweat falling from his temple. There, on Rin's bed, he saw Sesshomaru's arms wrapped protectively around her with Rin's head comfortably laid on Sesshomaru's chest and her arms wrapped around his waist. They looked so cute and he wanted to take a picture of this moment but immediately swatted away the thought. If Suikotsu ever found out, there would be no peace in his manor. It was better to not have any evidence of the sweet moment before him.
His spine tingled when Sesshomaru started to rouse from his sleep. With one eye open, Sesshomaru saw his father standing there staring at him. He glared at his father as if mentally telling him to leave and to not spoil his comfortable moment with Rin.
Taisho gulped before saying quietly, "Breakfast in ten minutes."
Taisho cautiously walked backwards before closing the door quietly. He turned around, laid his back on the door and let out another sigh.
He really needs to have a talk with Kimi.
