Well, 4 months passed since Kouga left on his business trip. He sure kept his word on calling me while he was away though. It was a continuous block of calls. All day, mostly everyday and sometimes even late at night. It was SO pissing me off but I had to go through with it because I’d agreed for him to call. But every time he did, I would always find an excuse to keep the calls short. In the end though, my plan ended backfiring on me because it would make him call more often. The conversations didn’t really change much through time; he would still talk about himself and what he was doing most of the time. Instead of asking me how I was or what I was up to but it didn’t matter to me. He really didn’t mean that much to me anyway.
As for Kagome, she kept talking to that mystery guy of hers. The Internet conversations began to get more frequent and longer as the days passed. She seemed to really like the guy because she started staying home more often than usual and for Kagome to give up going out for someone really meant something. At the beginning, she wouldn’t tell me anything about him or who he was but just like her, I had my ways of getting it out of her. What I was able to find out was that his name was Sesshomaru. I don’t think she knew his last name or she just didn’t tell me. Also, that he was 24 and lived overseas in Japan. I’m sure she knew how he looked like but didn’t want to tell me either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked to him for as long as she did. I’m not sure why she kept him a secret for so long but only she knew her reasons and I respected her decisions.
Although just by coincidence, I had a little run in with Sesshomaru once online as I was surfing the web.
I was looking at an online catalog when suddenly an instant message popped up on my screen:
DemonLord: Hey there beautiful.
·The message caught me entirely by surprise and my eyes widened at the sight of it. Since I didn’t recognize the screen name, I wasn’t sure as to who it was so I kept going on with the conversation wanting to find out.
Ice Princess: Hi
DemonLord: How are you? Miss me already?
Ice Princess: I’m fine. Umm… who’s this?
DemonLord: You forgot about me! L It’s me, Sesshomaru.
·‘Oh shit.’ At that moment, my mouth hung-open and eyes fully widened when I saw who it really was. -
Ice Princess: You must be looking for Kagome. She’s not home right now.
DemonLord: Oh sorry, yeah I was. I thought it was her I was talking to. Sorry, may I ask who this is?
Ice Princess: It’s ok. I’m her sister Rin.
DemonLord: Hey Rin. How are you? Kagome has told me a lot about you.
·That suddenly sparked my interest. ‘Now I HAVE to find out what Kagome has told him.’ -
Ice Princess: I’m ok. Thanks and yourself? Oh she has? What has she said about me?
DemonLord: I’m well. Thank You. J Hmmm… Let me see. She told me that you two live together. That you guys have such different personalities that sometimes it’s hard to believe you’re related.
Ice Princess: LOL Well that’s true. We are completely opposite to each other but I still love her a lot even though she might get on my last nerve sometimes.
DemonLord: LOL It’s great that you two get along well.
Ice Princess: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
DemonLord: I do actually. A brother but he went off on his own when he was young and I haven’t seen him since.
Ice Princess: Oh, I’m sorry.
DemonLord: Don’t be, that’s how life is. So how old are you?
Ice Princess: I’m 21. Well, just turned not long ago. What about you?
DemonLord: Oh, Happy Belated Birthday! 21 huh? So Kagome is 2 years older than you are, interesting. I’m 24.
·Suddenly, I heard a noise outside and turned towards the window. That was when I noticed that Kagome was driving up to the house. ‘I need to stop talking to him because she’s going to flip if she finds out.’ -
Ice Princess: Yeah, I guess. Hey, I have to go now cause I’m expecting a call.
DemonLord: Oh ok. Well, it was nice talking to you.
Ice Princess: You too. Hey, can I ask you for a favor though?
DemonLord: Yeah, sure.
Ice Princess: Please don’t tell Kagome that you talked to me. She would freak if she found out.
DemonLord: Why not? Why would she freak?
Ice Princess: Trust me. I know her better than anyone else. Let’s just let it be our little secret.
DemonLord: Well, you do have a point. Very well, it’s our little secret then. ;-)
Ice Princess: Thanks. Well I’ve got to go now. Take care, bye.
DemonLord: Thanks you too, bye.
Luckily, I was able to shut off the computer, walk out of the study and into the kitchen before Kagome entered the house. She never found out of my conversation with Sesshomaru and he kept his word on keeping it a secret too. Also, I was extremely careful not to mention it to her either.
Eventually, they began to talk on the phone. They talked every other day for the next 2 months and for a long time too. There was a time when I decided I was going to time them, just to see how long they lasted. The conversation lasted for about 5 hours straight. I could just imagine the phone bill for an international call about 5 hours long. DAMN! After many long conversations with Sesshomaru, Kagome claimed to REALLY like him. I guess that’s why she decided on convincing him to come over to the U.S. so they can meet. I was sure it took many tries to finally persuade him because he kept refusing at first. But she was successful nonetheless. Although, I never knew about her plans until 2 weeks before his arrival, when she decided to consult me.
I was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine when Kagome walked over and sat next to me. Innocently, “Rin, can I ask you something?”
I looked up from the magazine and turned towards her, “Yeah, sure.” She looked away and lowered her head, looking down at her hands as she fidgeted them around. I was shocked to see her act that way. It was the first time in my entire life that I’d seen her hesitate to ask me something. She was always so direct; it just seemed amusing to me. So I lowered my head enough to look at her eyes, “What is it Kagome?”
She lifted her head and looked back up at me; “It’s about Sesshomaru. He’s coming over from Japan in 2 weeks to meet me.”
I sat up and turned to face her, smiling, “What? Really? That’s great.”
“The problem is that he has no where to stay when he comes over.”
Leaning back on the sofa, “Well, he can stay with any family members.”
She lifted her arm up to the back of the sofa and rested her head on it; “He doesn’t have anyone here.”
At this point, I slightly began to get the hint as to where the conversation was going but I didn’t want to say anything. That and I might’ve been wrong. So I crossed my arms, “Then, where is he going to stay?”
She picked her head up and smiled, her eyes sparkling, “Well, I was thinking that perhaps he can stay here with us.”
I sat up again, placing my hands flat on the sofa. I was shocked and shook my head as my eyes widened, “WHAT? Are you crazy? He can’t stay here with us.”
Confused, “Why not? He can stay in the spare room, plus it will be good to have a man around just in case.”
I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms again, “Kagome, when have we ever needed a man to be around?”
She hesitated for a bit, “Ok well never, but you never know.”
“Uh huh, do you know how long he’s going to be here?”
Shaking her head, “No, I don’t.”
I couldn’t believe it and looked away as I slapped my hands on my lap, “Well, that’s just great.”
“But Rin, We don’t have anything to worry about. He’s a wonderful guy. He’s also nice and very respectful. Plus, he’s not just coming to meet me; he also wants to expand his business. I really like him too, that’s why I agreed to meet him when he comes over. Do you think that if I didn’t, I would’ve let him stay here with us?”
I leaned back on the sofa and lifted my head to stare at the ceiling, ‘Man, she really got me with that one.’
Well, she did have a point. I had never seen Kagome act that way before and it seemed to me like she was telling the truth. But she had just met the guy off the net not long ago and letting him stay in our house just didn’t feel right. Although, I didn’t want to break her enthusiasm so I had to agree.
I turned towards her and found her looking at me with pleading eyes, “Ok Kagome. You win. Although, I don’t fully agree with this but he can stay with us.”
She smiled and moved over to wrap her arms around me, “Thank you so much. Don’t worry everything will be ok.” She kissed my cheek before she stood and walked towards the study. Most likely to log on and tell Sesshomaru the news. I just shook my head, grabbed my magazine again and continued to read, snickering.
I was sound asleep when all of sudden Kagome stormed into my room, practically yelling and pacing around, “Rin, get up. You have to get ready.”
I slightly lifted my head and sleepily looked around, “Huh, what are you talking about? Get ready for what?”
I saw her walk up to my closet and look into it, “You’re coming with me to the airport to pick up Sesshomaru.”
With that statement, I fully woke up. I lifted my head and turned towards her, “Wha… Why do I have to go? He’s YOUR boyfriend.” Then, I lowered my head against the pillow again and covered myself with my blanket as I closed my eyes.
Suddenly, she pulled off the blanket and threw it on the floor, “Come on, get up. You’re coming with me and that’s final.”
I groaned as I sat up and turned to her, irritated, “Agh… why do I always have to get involved in your affairs?” Surprised, “Well, you look nice. Trying to make an impression I see.”
She looked herself over and turned back, “You don’t think this outfit is too much, do you?”
I analyzed what she was wearing and shook my head, “No, it looks fine. It screams ‘I’m all yours!’”
I started to laugh as Kagome placed her hands on her hips, an annoyed look on her face, “Rin that’s not funny. Now come on, go take a shower and get ready. He arrives in 2 hours and I want to be there before he arrives.”
“Fine. I’m going.” So since I had no other choice, I quickly jumped into the shower and headed back. When I returned to my room and looked towards my bed, I found that Kagome had already picked out an outfit for me. It was actually was a pretty cool outfit but I liked what Kagome was wearing; stretch black slacks that fit snugly against her body and a cream Angora sweater.
I quickly dried off my hair and ran a brush through it, I had decided that I was going to leave it down. My black hair was straight and reached just below my shoulder. I had it cut in many layers and the ends always curled up naturally, which was what I always liked. Then, I walked over towards the bed to change. Once I was done, I walked up to the mirror to inspect myself.
I liked how the outfit looked; the pants were black with white and dark pink pinstripes that fit on my hips and came down fairly low but not too much. They were a bit snug especially around my butt and were slightly flaired at the bottom. Also, I was wearing a burgundy sleeveless silk top with a twist right across the bust, it wasn’t too revealing but showed just enough of my cleavage, it also fit pretty snug. Finally to finish it off, I put on a black shrunken corduroy blazer over it, leaving it open. Then, I walked over to the dresser to apply some makeup and lip-gloss. As I was walking back to the bed, I found some burgundy suede boots almost the same shade as the top I was wearing, sitting on the foot of the bed. I slipped them on and walked back to the dresser to spray some perfume and grab my purse before I headed out the room.
When I walked into the kitchen, I found Kagome seated and reading a magazine. She looked up at me and smiled, “Hey that looks great on you. You look very nice.”
My cheeks heated up at her comment as I looked myself over and back to her, “Thanks but don’t you think this a bit too much for me. I mean he’s here to meet you. You should be the one to impress him not me.”
She stood and walked to pick up the keys from the counter, “Don’t be silly Rin, I know he’s here to meet me but that doesn’t mean that you can go in sweatpants and a T-shirt does it?” Turning around and walking towards the door.
Following her, “At least I’ll be comfortable.”
She laughed as she opened the door and stepped aside, “Come on silly or we’ll be late.” So we stepped into the car and made our way towards the airport.
The airport was about an hour and half away from the house. During the first half of the drive, Kagome was silent, which was odd and a little disturbing. At some point, I just couldn’t handle it and had to break the silence between us.
Turning towards her, “Kagome?”
“Yes Rin?”
“What time is Sesshomaru’s flight arriving at?”
Thinking for a bit, “He said that it would be at about 1:30.”
So I looked at the stereo clock and it was about 1pm. “Do you think we’ll make in on time?”
She looked down at her watch, “Yeah, we’re almost there.”
“Aren’t you nervous? I’m sure I would’ve been if I was in your position.”
She turned slightly over to me; “You won’t believe how nervous I really am.”
Smiling, “Well, you don’t look like your are.”
Nodding, “Oh believe me, I am.”
I reached over and placed my hand gently on her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze, “Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be ok. You’ll see.”
She turned back towards me with a smile on her face, “Thanks Rin.” I smiled in return and turned back to look at the road.
At about 1:35, we finally arrived to the airport. Panicked Kagome parked and rushed out of the car, “Come on Rin. It’s already past 1:30. We’re going to be late.”
Stepping out the car, I closed the door, “Kagome, relax. It usually takes about 20 minutes after the landing for the passengers to get off the plane.”
She stood with her hands on her hips, shaking her head, “Doesn’t matter. By the time we find the gate he is going to be at, it’s going to be a while.”
I just rolled my eyes and started walking towards the airport. Luckily, we found a spot that was close to the entrance so we didn’t have to walk very much.
Once we found the flight listings, we walked up to them, “Kagome, what’s his flight number?”
She reached into her purse and pulled out a paper; “It’s flight 678 on PanAsia.”
Since there were so many flights listed, it was becoming really hard to find the one we were looking for. Shaking her head, “I don’t see it Rin.”
I kept looking until I finally found it. Flight 678 on PanAsia, according to the list it had arrived early at 1:15. ‘Oh man, she’s not going to like this.’ Waving at her, “I found it, come here.” She stood next to me and I pointed at it, “Right there, it says that it arrived early at 1:15pm.”
Immediately her eyes widened as she yelled, “WHAT?” Then she looked down at her watch; “It’s almost 2 now. Shit, we’re so late.” Suddenly she turned and started to walk in the direction of the gate where he was supposed to arrive at.
When we finally found it, Kagome walked up to the young lady standing by the gate as I sat and waited for her. After talking for a bit, she walked back, “She said that all the passengers of that flight have already been checked out.” Looking around, “And I don’t see him anywhere.”
Quirking an eyebrow, “You know how he looks like?”
She smiled down at me, “Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed to meet him now would I?”
I nodded and mouthed the word, “Right.”
So she reached into her purse and pulled out her cell, “Let me call him.” As she dialed his number, my patience was slowly withering away. Finally she had a brief conversation with him before she hung up.
Crossing my arms, “So? Where is he?”
“He said he’s going to come down to meet us here. He went up to the café to wait until we got here.”
“Oh.” Then, Kagome started to pace around, “Kagome, take a seat. You’re getting a little annoying with your pacing.” Pointing to the seat next to me.
Stopping in front of me, fidgeting her hands, “I can’t. I’m just too nervous.” I, on the other hand, sat back with my arms crossed as I shook my head. Suddenly, she turned around and whispered, “Oh my God, there he is.”
Immediately, I sat up and started to look around, “Where?”
Nudging her head, “Right there, the one walking straight towards us.” So I turned in the direction she pointed at and was finally able to see the gentleman walking towards us.
He was about 75ft away and some of his features still stood out. He was tall; I’d say about 6ft and looked like he was well built even through his long sleeved shirt. I don’t know what came over me at the moment but somehow I wasn’t able to look away from this man, even if I tried. As he got closer, his features became much clearer. His handsome face and his hair left me in awe; his hair was cut similar to Koga’s but in my opinion, it suited him much better. Its color was silver almost white, straight, smooth and really shiny. It looked to be really soft, making me want to reach out and touch it. His light skin fit well with the color of his hair. I’m guessing that he’d finally seen us because a huge smile appeared on his face, leaving me absolutely breathless. Oh my God, he had the most AMAZING smile I’ve ever seen. But what I thought left me more awestruck, were his amber colored eyes. They seemed like they could look right into your soul. Yes, he was handsome all right but I say that his eyes were his best features.
Kagome seemed to be as shocked as I was, for she didn’t move an inch from where she was standing. At first, she had a shocked look then it faded as a big smile replaced it. He walked up to us and I remained seated, still unable to look away. He looked at Kagome first then turned his eyes towards me.
Kagome reached out and wrapped her arms around him, “Hey Sesshomaru. How are you?”
Wrapping his arms around her, smiling, “Great and you?”
She backed away enough to look at him but didn’t release him; “I’m doing great. I’m sorry we’re late. I tried to be here before your flight arrived but I couldn’t.”
Sesshomaru shook his head and unwrapped an arm from her, using his hand it to graze her chin, “Oh no don’t worry about it. It’s my fault actually. I should’ve called to let you know my plane had arrived early but I didn’t want to bother you, so I decided to wait until you got here.”
Shaking her head, “Nonsense, you weren’t going to bother me. You should’ve called, that way you wouldn’t have waited so long.” He chuckled at her comment.
I just remained silent the entire time, observing the two. However that time, it felt very different. It wasn’t the same as the other times when she was with her “friends”. I didn’t know what it was but it felt like some sort of jealousy flowed through me. But at the time, I didn’t really understand what it meant so I held it inside.
Then Kagome turned and pointed my way, “Sesshomaru, I would like you to meet my sister, Rin.”
He turned to me and smiled. If it wasn’t because I was sitting, I swear I would have fallen because my knees suddenly felt weak.
Releasing Kagome, he extended his hand out towards me, “Sesshomaru Kitazawa, at your service.”
Finding the strength to stand, I did and extended my hand to shake his. Although as I was shaking his hand, I caught him looking me up and down but I didn’t say anything. “R… Ri... Rin Imamura, nice to meet you.” Yet I couldn’t believe I was stuttering.
Nodding, “You too, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you Rin. Kagome has told me so much about you.” Turning his head to the side to wink. I was left so speechless by the sound of his deep voice ringing in my ears that all I did was smile. It really was the only thing I was able to do.
Kagome interrupts, “Well, we should get out of here. Don’t you think?” directing the question towards Sesshomaru.
Turning back to her, “Yeah, you’re right.” He walked over to his luggage, slipped on his coat and picked up his briefcase.
Kagome walked up next to him, “Here, let me help you with something.”
He smiled, “Thanks, you can help me with my briefcase,” handing her the briefcase.
Both turning my way, Kagome asked, “All right, you ready to go Rin?”
Nodding, “Yeah.”
“Ok, Let’s go.” Kagome wrapped her arm around his and they begin to walk. Although, I followed slightly behind them just like I always did.
During the walk back, Sesshomaru and Kagome kept talking to each other but I remained silently behind. As we were walking, I noticed that he kept looking back as if to check on me. I’m sure he thought I didn’t notice because I kept my head down but I did because I kept looking at him from underneath my bangs. Then, I turned away and continued walking. Suddenly, I felt a heavy gaze upon me and looked up, nearly crashing onto his chest.
I never realized when he stopped and turned towards me, “Rin, why do you walk behind us?”
I stopped and stood looking up at him, my cheeks burning up with embarrassment. Immediately I took a step back when Kagome interrupted, “Oh, she always does that.”
He glanced at Kagome and then back to me, curious, “Really?”
Nodding as I shrugged my shoulders, my cheeks still heated up, “Yeah, it’s a force of habit.”
He nodded, “Oh.” Then waves his hand for me to move up to where they were, smiling, “Come on. Join us. Don’t stay back there by yourself.” Just to avoid any further discussion and embarrassment, I did as he said and continued to walk together with them but still remained silent.
When we arrived to the car, he put his luggage in the trunk and walked over to open Kagome’s door.
“Thanks, Sesshomaru.” Kagome smiled.
He smiled in return, “You’re welcome”. Since he was there, I decided to sit on the back seat instead so he could sit on the front with Kagome. So I stepped into the car before he came back around.
He stepped in and fastened his seat belt, “All right, let’s go.”
“Ok.” Kagome started the car and began to drive away.
During the drive back, I rested my head on the seat and tried to clear myself of the strange emotions that I was feeling. But it was becoming really hard because I was still able to smell his cologne all the way to the back seat. So in attempt to clear my thoughts, I lowered my head and stared at the floor. I was silent throughout the whole trip too, thinking and zoning off to my own world. Yet I was still able to hear what Kagome and Sesshomaru were discussing amongst them. It seemed that Sesshomaru wanted to be dropped off at a hotel but Kagome kept insisting on him staying with us in the spare room. She spoke of some agreement, since they had already discussed this beforehand but Sesshomaru was changing his mind.
All of a sudden, I heard my name but ignored it, “Rin.”
Suddenly Kagome yelled, “RIN, damn it. Don’t do that!”
Kagome’s scream snapped me out of my daydream and I looked up to see a concerned Sesshomaru looking at me, “Are you ok?”
Nodding, “Yeah, sorry.”
Smiling, “I wanted to ask you if it was ok for me to stay at your home? I know I have Kagome’s permission but it’s your house as well. So I figured I’d ask you too.”
Nodding and I curled my lips up to a smile, “Oh yeah, it’s fine with me.”
Turning towards Kagome, “Since Rin says it’s ok, I’ll stay with you.”
I shook my head, ‘How embarrassing,’ before I turned to look out the window.
When we arrived to the house, Sesshomaru got his luggage off the car and we walked together to the front porch. Kagome walked up first to the door and opened it.
“Go ahead.” Sesshomaru stepped aside, allowing me to go in first.
Smiling, “Thanks.” So I stepped inside and he followed behind me.
He walked in and looked around, “Nice place you have, and you two are the only ones that live here?”
Kagome replied, “Yeah, this was my parent’s house. We were born and raised here. Here, let me show you to your room.”
Kagome lead him over to the hallway that lead to all the rooms. I, on the other hand, walked over to the kitchen, grabbed some chips from the cupboard, a bottle of water from the fridge and walked over to the dining table. I was able to hear Kagome giving him a tour of the house as I munched on the chips. Sesshomaru waked towards the living room and Kagome walked up to me, “Did you want me to make you something to eat or go out to get something?”
“Aren’t you going out to lunch?” Putting another chip in my mouth.
She began to walk towards the kitchen, “No, we’re staying in tonight. That way Sesshomaru can rest up from his trip and we can get a chance to talk in peace.”
“Oh, nah. I’m ok with this.” Taking a drink of water.
Yelling from the kitchen, “Rin, you’re not eating just chips for lunch.”
Suddenly, Sesshomaru walked back in and sat on a chair. Turning towards me, “She’s right you know. It’s not good for you.”
I turned to look at him, grabbed another chip and placed it in my mouth before Kagome walked back in with some sandwiches and plates. I turned towards her and my eyes widened, “Wow that was fast.”
She smiled, “Well, with you I had to learn how to speed cook.” Sesshomaru and Kagome laughed.
“Ha ha, very funny.” So I placed a sandwich on a plate with some chips, “I’m going to be in my room.” Picking up my plate, I turned headed towards my room.
“Ok,” I heard Kagome before I opened the door.
As I was entering my room, I heard them talking amongst each other and something just made me stop to listen, “Your sister is really quiet isn’t she?” Sesshomaru asked.
“Yeah, she’s always been like that but it somehow got worse ever since the accident.”
“Oh,” he said. I just shook my head, stepped into my room and closed the door behind me.
Once inside my room, I turned on my stereo and listened to the radio. I took off the jacket, sat on my bed and started eating my sandwich and chips. Once I’d finished, I put the plate on the nightstand and leaned back on the headboard. Suddenly there was a knock at my door, “What is it?”
Kagome answered, “You have a phone call. It’s Koga”.
“Shit, now what?” I stepped off the bed and walked out the door. “I’ll pick it up in the study,” yelling out as I was walking away.
“OK,” Kagome yelled.
So I sat on the sofa and picked up the phone:
“Hello
Hey Rin
Oh, hey Koga. How are you?
I’m all right and you?
I’m ok. So what’s new?
Well, not much. Business is great. Everything else is going good. Oh and we finished a couple of days early so I’m heading back home tomorrow.
·‘Oh shit, already? Damn, how has time flown by.’
Really? That’s great.
Yeah, so Rin what are you doing tomorrow night?
Hmmm… nothing, I don’t have any plans yet. Why?
Oh, well I was wondering if you would join me for dinner tomorrow night so we can talk.
Talk about what?
About us, silly.
Oh ok. What time shall I be ready?
At 5, oh and dress casually.
Umm… ok. I’ll be ready. Hey, I’ve got to go now.
What? Already? Ok Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then.
Yeah, take care. Bye
Bye.”
I hung up and took a deep breath before I walked back. As I entered the dining room, Kagome and Sesshomaru looked up at me.
“So what happened?” Kagome asked.
Walking up to the table, I leaned on a chair, “Oh nothing. It was another one of his interrogation calls.”
She laughed, “What did he say?”
“He wanted to let me know that he returns tomorrow and asked me to join him for dinner because he wants to ‘talk’.”
“Did you accept?”
Nodding, “Of course I did. I have some ‘talking’ that I need to do myself.” Sesshomaru just remained quiet the whole time, looking at us.
Shaking her head, “Rin, what are you going to do?”
Straightening up, “Oh nothing, I’m just going to listen to what he has to say first, then I’ll give him a piece of my mind.” Kagome just shook her head again as I turned to walk back towards my room. “I’m going to be in my room, if you need me.” I stepped into the hall and entered my room.
I spent the rest of the day inside just listening to my radio and reading until I fell asleep.

Well, 4 months passed since Kouga left on his business trip. He sure kept his word on calling me while he was away though. It was a continuous block of calls. All day, mostly everyday and sometimes even late at night. It was SO pissing me off but I had to go through with it because I’d agreed for him to call. But every time he did, I would always find an excuse to keep the calls short. In the end though, my plan ended backfiring on me because it would make him call more often. The conversations didn’t really change much through time; he would still talk about himself and what he was doing most of the time. Instead of asking me how I was or what I was up to but it didn’t matter to me. He really didn’t mean that much to me anyway.
As for Kagome, she kept talking to that mystery guy of hers. The Internet conversations began to get more frequent and longer as the days passed. She seemed to really like the guy because she started staying home more often than usual and for Kagome to give up going out for someone really meant something. At the beginning, she wouldn’t tell me anything about him or who he was but just like her, I had my ways of getting it out of her. What I was able to find out was that his name was Sesshomaru. I don’t think she knew his last name or she just didn’t tell me. Also, that he was 24 and lived overseas in Japan. I’m sure she knew how he looked like but didn’t want to tell me either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked to him for as long as she did. I’m not sure why she kept him a secret for so long but only she knew her reasons and I respected her decisions.
Although just by coincidence, I had a little run in with Sesshomaru once online as I was surfing the web.
I was looking at an online catalog when suddenly an instant message popped up on my screen:
DemonLord: Hey there beautiful.
·The message caught me entirely by surprise and my eyes widened at the sight of it. Since I didn’t recognize the screen name, I wasn’t sure as to who it was so I kept going on with the conversation wanting to find out.
Ice Princess: Hi
DemonLord: How are you? Miss me already?
Ice Princess: I’m fine. Umm… who’s this?
DemonLord: You forgot about me! L It’s me, Sesshomaru.
·‘Oh shit.’ At that moment, my mouth hung-open and eyes fully widened when I saw who it really was. -
Ice Princess: You must be looking for Kagome. She’s not home right now.
DemonLord: Oh sorry, yeah I was. I thought it was her I was talking to. Sorry, may I ask who this is?
Ice Princess: It’s ok. I’m her sister Rin.
DemonLord: Hey Rin. How are you? Kagome has told me a lot about you.
·That suddenly sparked my interest. ‘Now I HAVE to find out what Kagome has told him.’ -
Ice Princess: I’m ok. Thanks and yourself? Oh she has? What has she said about me?
DemonLord: I’m well. Thank You. J Hmmm… Let me see. She told me that you two live together. That you guys have such different personalities that sometimes it’s hard to believe you’re related.
Ice Princess: LOL Well that’s true. We are completely opposite to each other but I still love her a lot even though she might get on my last nerve sometimes.
DemonLord: LOL It’s great that you two get along well.
Ice Princess: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
DemonLord: I do actually. A brother but he went off on his own when he was young and I haven’t seen him since.
Ice Princess: Oh, I’m sorry.
DemonLord: Don’t be, that’s how life is. So how old are you?
Ice Princess: I’m 21. Well, just turned not long ago. What about you?
DemonLord: Oh, Happy Belated Birthday! 21 huh? So Kagome is 2 years older than you are, interesting. I’m 24.
·Suddenly, I heard a noise outside and turned towards the window. That was when I noticed that Kagome was driving up to the house. ‘I need to stop talking to him because she’s going to flip if she finds out.’ -
Ice Princess: Yeah, I guess. Hey, I have to go now cause I’m expecting a call.
DemonLord: Oh ok. Well, it was nice talking to you.
Ice Princess: You too. Hey, can I ask you for a favor though?
DemonLord: Yeah, sure.
Ice Princess: Please don’t tell Kagome that you talked to me. She would freak if she found out.
DemonLord: Why not? Why would she freak?
Ice Princess: Trust me. I know her better than anyone else. Let’s just let it be our little secret.
DemonLord: Well, you do have a point. Very well, it’s our little secret then. ;-)
Ice Princess: Thanks. Well I’ve got to go now. Take care, bye.
DemonLord: Thanks you too, bye.
Luckily, I was able to shut off the computer, walk out of the study and into the kitchen before Kagome entered the house. She never found out of my conversation with Sesshomaru and he kept his word on keeping it a secret too. Also, I was extremely careful not to mention it to her either.
Eventually, they began to talk on the phone. They talked every other day for the next 2 months and for a long time too. There was a time when I decided I was going to time them, just to see how long they lasted. The conversation lasted for about 5 hours straight. I could just imagine the phone bill for an international call about 5 hours long. DAMN! After many long conversations with Sesshomaru, Kagome claimed to REALLY like him. I guess that’s why she decided on convincing him to come over to the U.S. so they can meet. I was sure it took many tries to finally persuade him because he kept refusing at first. But she was successful nonetheless. Although, I never knew about her plans until 2 weeks before his arrival, when she decided to consult me.
I was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine when Kagome walked over and sat next to me. Innocently, “Rin, can I ask you something?”
I looked up from the magazine and turned towards her, “Yeah, sure.” She looked away and lowered her head, looking down at her hands as she fidgeted them around. I was shocked to see her act that way. It was the first time in my entire life that I’d seen her hesitate to ask me something. She was always so direct; it just seemed amusing to me. So I lowered my head enough to look at her eyes, “What is it Kagome?”
She lifted her head and looked back up at me; “It’s about Sesshomaru. He’s coming over from Japan in 2 weeks to meet me.”
I sat up and turned to face her, smiling, “What? Really? That’s great.”
“The problem is that he has no where to stay when he comes over.”
Leaning back on the sofa, “Well, he can stay with any family members.”
She lifted her arm up to the back of the sofa and rested her head on it; “He doesn’t have anyone here.”
At this point, I slightly began to get the hint as to where the conversation was going but I didn’t want to say anything. That and I might’ve been wrong. So I crossed my arms, “Then, where is he going to stay?”
She picked her head up and smiled, her eyes sparkling, “Well, I was thinking that perhaps he can stay here with us.”
I sat up again, placing my hands flat on the sofa. I was shocked and shook my head as my eyes widened, “WHAT? Are you crazy? He can’t stay here with us.”
Confused, “Why not? He can stay in the spare room, plus it will be good to have a man around just in case.”
I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms again, “Kagome, when have we ever needed a man to be around?”
She hesitated for a bit, “Ok well never, but you never know.”
“Uh huh, do you know how long he’s going to be here?”
Shaking her head, “No, I don’t.”
I couldn’t believe it and looked away as I slapped my hands on my lap, “Well, that’s just great.”
“But Rin, We don’t have anything to worry about. He’s a wonderful guy. He’s also nice and very respectful. Plus, he’s not just coming to meet me; he also wants to expand his business. I really like him too, that’s why I agreed to meet him when he comes over. Do you think that if I didn’t, I would’ve let him stay here with us?”
I leaned back on the sofa and lifted my head to stare at the ceiling, ‘Man, she really got me with that one.’
Well, she did have a point. I had never seen Kagome act that way before and it seemed to me like she was telling the truth. But she had just met the guy off the net not long ago and letting him stay in our house just didn’t feel right. Although, I didn’t want to break her enthusiasm so I had to agree.
I turned towards her and found her looking at me with pleading eyes, “Ok Kagome. You win. Although, I don’t fully agree with this but he can stay with us.”
She smiled and moved over to wrap her arms around me, “Thank you so much. Don’t worry everything will be ok.” She kissed my cheek before she stood and walked towards the study. Most likely to log on and tell Sesshomaru the news. I just shook my head, grabbed my magazine again and continued to read, snickering.
~*~*~*~
The big day had finally arrived for Kagome. Throughout the last 2 weeks, she’d been excited to the point where it was beginning to drive me crazy.I was sound asleep when all of sudden Kagome stormed into my room, practically yelling and pacing around, “Rin, get up. You have to get ready.”
I slightly lifted my head and sleepily looked around, “Huh, what are you talking about? Get ready for what?”
I saw her walk up to my closet and look into it, “You’re coming with me to the airport to pick up Sesshomaru.”
With that statement, I fully woke up. I lifted my head and turned towards her, “Wha… Why do I have to go? He’s YOUR boyfriend.” Then, I lowered my head against the pillow again and covered myself with my blanket as I closed my eyes.
Suddenly, she pulled off the blanket and threw it on the floor, “Come on, get up. You’re coming with me and that’s final.”
I groaned as I sat up and turned to her, irritated, “Agh… why do I always have to get involved in your affairs?” Surprised, “Well, you look nice. Trying to make an impression I see.”
She looked herself over and turned back, “You don’t think this outfit is too much, do you?”
I analyzed what she was wearing and shook my head, “No, it looks fine. It screams ‘I’m all yours!’”
I started to laugh as Kagome placed her hands on her hips, an annoyed look on her face, “Rin that’s not funny. Now come on, go take a shower and get ready. He arrives in 2 hours and I want to be there before he arrives.”
“Fine. I’m going.” So since I had no other choice, I quickly jumped into the shower and headed back. When I returned to my room and looked towards my bed, I found that Kagome had already picked out an outfit for me. It was actually was a pretty cool outfit but I liked what Kagome was wearing; stretch black slacks that fit snugly against her body and a cream Angora sweater.
I quickly dried off my hair and ran a brush through it, I had decided that I was going to leave it down. My black hair was straight and reached just below my shoulder. I had it cut in many layers and the ends always curled up naturally, which was what I always liked. Then, I walked over towards the bed to change. Once I was done, I walked up to the mirror to inspect myself.
I liked how the outfit looked; the pants were black with white and dark pink pinstripes that fit on my hips and came down fairly low but not too much. They were a bit snug especially around my butt and were slightly flaired at the bottom. Also, I was wearing a burgundy sleeveless silk top with a twist right across the bust, it wasn’t too revealing but showed just enough of my cleavage, it also fit pretty snug. Finally to finish it off, I put on a black shrunken corduroy blazer over it, leaving it open. Then, I walked over to the dresser to apply some makeup and lip-gloss. As I was walking back to the bed, I found some burgundy suede boots almost the same shade as the top I was wearing, sitting on the foot of the bed. I slipped them on and walked back to the dresser to spray some perfume and grab my purse before I headed out the room.
When I walked into the kitchen, I found Kagome seated and reading a magazine. She looked up at me and smiled, “Hey that looks great on you. You look very nice.”
My cheeks heated up at her comment as I looked myself over and back to her, “Thanks but don’t you think this a bit too much for me. I mean he’s here to meet you. You should be the one to impress him not me.”
She stood and walked to pick up the keys from the counter, “Don’t be silly Rin, I know he’s here to meet me but that doesn’t mean that you can go in sweatpants and a T-shirt does it?” Turning around and walking towards the door.
Following her, “At least I’ll be comfortable.”
She laughed as she opened the door and stepped aside, “Come on silly or we’ll be late.” So we stepped into the car and made our way towards the airport.
The airport was about an hour and half away from the house. During the first half of the drive, Kagome was silent, which was odd and a little disturbing. At some point, I just couldn’t handle it and had to break the silence between us.
Turning towards her, “Kagome?”
“Yes Rin?”
“What time is Sesshomaru’s flight arriving at?”
Thinking for a bit, “He said that it would be at about 1:30.”
So I looked at the stereo clock and it was about 1pm. “Do you think we’ll make in on time?”
She looked down at her watch, “Yeah, we’re almost there.”
“Aren’t you nervous? I’m sure I would’ve been if I was in your position.”
She turned slightly over to me; “You won’t believe how nervous I really am.”
Smiling, “Well, you don’t look like your are.”
Nodding, “Oh believe me, I am.”
I reached over and placed my hand gently on her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze, “Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be ok. You’ll see.”
She turned back towards me with a smile on her face, “Thanks Rin.” I smiled in return and turned back to look at the road.
At about 1:35, we finally arrived to the airport. Panicked Kagome parked and rushed out of the car, “Come on Rin. It’s already past 1:30. We’re going to be late.”
Stepping out the car, I closed the door, “Kagome, relax. It usually takes about 20 minutes after the landing for the passengers to get off the plane.”
She stood with her hands on her hips, shaking her head, “Doesn’t matter. By the time we find the gate he is going to be at, it’s going to be a while.”
I just rolled my eyes and started walking towards the airport. Luckily, we found a spot that was close to the entrance so we didn’t have to walk very much.
Once we found the flight listings, we walked up to them, “Kagome, what’s his flight number?”
She reached into her purse and pulled out a paper; “It’s flight 678 on PanAsia.”
Since there were so many flights listed, it was becoming really hard to find the one we were looking for. Shaking her head, “I don’t see it Rin.”
I kept looking until I finally found it. Flight 678 on PanAsia, according to the list it had arrived early at 1:15. ‘Oh man, she’s not going to like this.’ Waving at her, “I found it, come here.” She stood next to me and I pointed at it, “Right there, it says that it arrived early at 1:15pm.”
Immediately her eyes widened as she yelled, “WHAT?” Then she looked down at her watch; “It’s almost 2 now. Shit, we’re so late.” Suddenly she turned and started to walk in the direction of the gate where he was supposed to arrive at.
When we finally found it, Kagome walked up to the young lady standing by the gate as I sat and waited for her. After talking for a bit, she walked back, “She said that all the passengers of that flight have already been checked out.” Looking around, “And I don’t see him anywhere.”
Quirking an eyebrow, “You know how he looks like?”
She smiled down at me, “Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed to meet him now would I?”
I nodded and mouthed the word, “Right.”
So she reached into her purse and pulled out her cell, “Let me call him.” As she dialed his number, my patience was slowly withering away. Finally she had a brief conversation with him before she hung up.
Crossing my arms, “So? Where is he?”
“He said he’s going to come down to meet us here. He went up to the café to wait until we got here.”
“Oh.” Then, Kagome started to pace around, “Kagome, take a seat. You’re getting a little annoying with your pacing.” Pointing to the seat next to me.
Stopping in front of me, fidgeting her hands, “I can’t. I’m just too nervous.” I, on the other hand, sat back with my arms crossed as I shook my head. Suddenly, she turned around and whispered, “Oh my God, there he is.”
Immediately, I sat up and started to look around, “Where?”
Nudging her head, “Right there, the one walking straight towards us.” So I turned in the direction she pointed at and was finally able to see the gentleman walking towards us.
He was about 75ft away and some of his features still stood out. He was tall; I’d say about 6ft and looked like he was well built even through his long sleeved shirt. I don’t know what came over me at the moment but somehow I wasn’t able to look away from this man, even if I tried. As he got closer, his features became much clearer. His handsome face and his hair left me in awe; his hair was cut similar to Koga’s but in my opinion, it suited him much better. Its color was silver almost white, straight, smooth and really shiny. It looked to be really soft, making me want to reach out and touch it. His light skin fit well with the color of his hair. I’m guessing that he’d finally seen us because a huge smile appeared on his face, leaving me absolutely breathless. Oh my God, he had the most AMAZING smile I’ve ever seen. But what I thought left me more awestruck, were his amber colored eyes. They seemed like they could look right into your soul. Yes, he was handsome all right but I say that his eyes were his best features.
Kagome seemed to be as shocked as I was, for she didn’t move an inch from where she was standing. At first, she had a shocked look then it faded as a big smile replaced it. He walked up to us and I remained seated, still unable to look away. He looked at Kagome first then turned his eyes towards me.
Kagome reached out and wrapped her arms around him, “Hey Sesshomaru. How are you?”
Wrapping his arms around her, smiling, “Great and you?”
She backed away enough to look at him but didn’t release him; “I’m doing great. I’m sorry we’re late. I tried to be here before your flight arrived but I couldn’t.”
Sesshomaru shook his head and unwrapped an arm from her, using his hand it to graze her chin, “Oh no don’t worry about it. It’s my fault actually. I should’ve called to let you know my plane had arrived early but I didn’t want to bother you, so I decided to wait until you got here.”
Shaking her head, “Nonsense, you weren’t going to bother me. You should’ve called, that way you wouldn’t have waited so long.” He chuckled at her comment.
I just remained silent the entire time, observing the two. However that time, it felt very different. It wasn’t the same as the other times when she was with her “friends”. I didn’t know what it was but it felt like some sort of jealousy flowed through me. But at the time, I didn’t really understand what it meant so I held it inside.
Then Kagome turned and pointed my way, “Sesshomaru, I would like you to meet my sister, Rin.”
He turned to me and smiled. If it wasn’t because I was sitting, I swear I would have fallen because my knees suddenly felt weak.
Releasing Kagome, he extended his hand out towards me, “Sesshomaru Kitazawa, at your service.”
Finding the strength to stand, I did and extended my hand to shake his. Although as I was shaking his hand, I caught him looking me up and down but I didn’t say anything. “R… Ri... Rin Imamura, nice to meet you.” Yet I couldn’t believe I was stuttering.
Nodding, “You too, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you Rin. Kagome has told me so much about you.” Turning his head to the side to wink. I was left so speechless by the sound of his deep voice ringing in my ears that all I did was smile. It really was the only thing I was able to do.
Kagome interrupts, “Well, we should get out of here. Don’t you think?” directing the question towards Sesshomaru.
Turning back to her, “Yeah, you’re right.” He walked over to his luggage, slipped on his coat and picked up his briefcase.
Kagome walked up next to him, “Here, let me help you with something.”
He smiled, “Thanks, you can help me with my briefcase,” handing her the briefcase.
Both turning my way, Kagome asked, “All right, you ready to go Rin?”
Nodding, “Yeah.”
“Ok, Let’s go.” Kagome wrapped her arm around his and they begin to walk. Although, I followed slightly behind them just like I always did.
During the walk back, Sesshomaru and Kagome kept talking to each other but I remained silently behind. As we were walking, I noticed that he kept looking back as if to check on me. I’m sure he thought I didn’t notice because I kept my head down but I did because I kept looking at him from underneath my bangs. Then, I turned away and continued walking. Suddenly, I felt a heavy gaze upon me and looked up, nearly crashing onto his chest.
I never realized when he stopped and turned towards me, “Rin, why do you walk behind us?”
I stopped and stood looking up at him, my cheeks burning up with embarrassment. Immediately I took a step back when Kagome interrupted, “Oh, she always does that.”
He glanced at Kagome and then back to me, curious, “Really?”
Nodding as I shrugged my shoulders, my cheeks still heated up, “Yeah, it’s a force of habit.”
He nodded, “Oh.” Then waves his hand for me to move up to where they were, smiling, “Come on. Join us. Don’t stay back there by yourself.” Just to avoid any further discussion and embarrassment, I did as he said and continued to walk together with them but still remained silent.
When we arrived to the car, he put his luggage in the trunk and walked over to open Kagome’s door.
“Thanks, Sesshomaru.” Kagome smiled.
He smiled in return, “You’re welcome”. Since he was there, I decided to sit on the back seat instead so he could sit on the front with Kagome. So I stepped into the car before he came back around.
He stepped in and fastened his seat belt, “All right, let’s go.”
“Ok.” Kagome started the car and began to drive away.
During the drive back, I rested my head on the seat and tried to clear myself of the strange emotions that I was feeling. But it was becoming really hard because I was still able to smell his cologne all the way to the back seat. So in attempt to clear my thoughts, I lowered my head and stared at the floor. I was silent throughout the whole trip too, thinking and zoning off to my own world. Yet I was still able to hear what Kagome and Sesshomaru were discussing amongst them. It seemed that Sesshomaru wanted to be dropped off at a hotel but Kagome kept insisting on him staying with us in the spare room. She spoke of some agreement, since they had already discussed this beforehand but Sesshomaru was changing his mind.
All of a sudden, I heard my name but ignored it, “Rin.”
Suddenly Kagome yelled, “RIN, damn it. Don’t do that!”
Kagome’s scream snapped me out of my daydream and I looked up to see a concerned Sesshomaru looking at me, “Are you ok?”
Nodding, “Yeah, sorry.”
Smiling, “I wanted to ask you if it was ok for me to stay at your home? I know I have Kagome’s permission but it’s your house as well. So I figured I’d ask you too.”
Nodding and I curled my lips up to a smile, “Oh yeah, it’s fine with me.”
Turning towards Kagome, “Since Rin says it’s ok, I’ll stay with you.”
I shook my head, ‘How embarrassing,’ before I turned to look out the window.
When we arrived to the house, Sesshomaru got his luggage off the car and we walked together to the front porch. Kagome walked up first to the door and opened it.
“Go ahead.” Sesshomaru stepped aside, allowing me to go in first.
Smiling, “Thanks.” So I stepped inside and he followed behind me.
He walked in and looked around, “Nice place you have, and you two are the only ones that live here?”
Kagome replied, “Yeah, this was my parent’s house. We were born and raised here. Here, let me show you to your room.”
Kagome lead him over to the hallway that lead to all the rooms. I, on the other hand, walked over to the kitchen, grabbed some chips from the cupboard, a bottle of water from the fridge and walked over to the dining table. I was able to hear Kagome giving him a tour of the house as I munched on the chips. Sesshomaru waked towards the living room and Kagome walked up to me, “Did you want me to make you something to eat or go out to get something?”
“Aren’t you going out to lunch?” Putting another chip in my mouth.
She began to walk towards the kitchen, “No, we’re staying in tonight. That way Sesshomaru can rest up from his trip and we can get a chance to talk in peace.”
“Oh, nah. I’m ok with this.” Taking a drink of water.
Yelling from the kitchen, “Rin, you’re not eating just chips for lunch.”
Suddenly, Sesshomaru walked back in and sat on a chair. Turning towards me, “She’s right you know. It’s not good for you.”
I turned to look at him, grabbed another chip and placed it in my mouth before Kagome walked back in with some sandwiches and plates. I turned towards her and my eyes widened, “Wow that was fast.”
She smiled, “Well, with you I had to learn how to speed cook.” Sesshomaru and Kagome laughed.
“Ha ha, very funny.” So I placed a sandwich on a plate with some chips, “I’m going to be in my room.” Picking up my plate, I turned headed towards my room.
“Ok,” I heard Kagome before I opened the door.
As I was entering my room, I heard them talking amongst each other and something just made me stop to listen, “Your sister is really quiet isn’t she?” Sesshomaru asked.
“Yeah, she’s always been like that but it somehow got worse ever since the accident.”
“Oh,” he said. I just shook my head, stepped into my room and closed the door behind me.
Once inside my room, I turned on my stereo and listened to the radio. I took off the jacket, sat on my bed and started eating my sandwich and chips. Once I’d finished, I put the plate on the nightstand and leaned back on the headboard. Suddenly there was a knock at my door, “What is it?”
Kagome answered, “You have a phone call. It’s Koga”.
“Shit, now what?” I stepped off the bed and walked out the door. “I’ll pick it up in the study,” yelling out as I was walking away.
“OK,” Kagome yelled.
So I sat on the sofa and picked up the phone:
“Hello
Hey Rin
Oh, hey Koga. How are you?
I’m all right and you?
I’m ok. So what’s new?
Well, not much. Business is great. Everything else is going good. Oh and we finished a couple of days early so I’m heading back home tomorrow.
·‘Oh shit, already? Damn, how has time flown by.’
Really? That’s great.
Yeah, so Rin what are you doing tomorrow night?
Hmmm… nothing, I don’t have any plans yet. Why?
Oh, well I was wondering if you would join me for dinner tomorrow night so we can talk.
Talk about what?
About us, silly.
Oh ok. What time shall I be ready?
At 5, oh and dress casually.
Umm… ok. I’ll be ready. Hey, I’ve got to go now.
What? Already? Ok Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then.
Yeah, take care. Bye
Bye.”
I hung up and took a deep breath before I walked back. As I entered the dining room, Kagome and Sesshomaru looked up at me.
“So what happened?” Kagome asked.
Walking up to the table, I leaned on a chair, “Oh nothing. It was another one of his interrogation calls.”
She laughed, “What did he say?”
“He wanted to let me know that he returns tomorrow and asked me to join him for dinner because he wants to ‘talk’.”
“Did you accept?”
Nodding, “Of course I did. I have some ‘talking’ that I need to do myself.” Sesshomaru just remained quiet the whole time, looking at us.
Shaking her head, “Rin, what are you going to do?”
Straightening up, “Oh nothing, I’m just going to listen to what he has to say first, then I’ll give him a piece of my mind.” Kagome just shook her head again as I turned to walk back towards my room. “I’m going to be in my room, if you need me.” I stepped into the hall and entered my room.
I spent the rest of the day inside just listening to my radio and reading until I fell asleep.
