InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A.T.T.I.C ❯ A Royal Pain ( Chapter 9 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Kagome smiled as the salad came out. They sat in the dining room of the condo holding small conversations. Kagome and Inu Yasha had been chatting for quite a while. And their little side conversation would have continued if Inu Yasha hadn't noticed Rin.
It took Kagome a while to realize that Rin looked depressed. She also noticed that Sesshoumaru was looking at her with worry hidden behind his eyes even though his face was a mask.
“Something's up…” Inu Yasha whispered to Kagome. “I think my dad may have ruined Rin's mood…” Kagome nodded in agreement.
“Or it might just be the situation…” Kagome replied in a hushed voice.
“I have this feeling that my father is up to something.” Inu Yasha whispered back.
Rin's eyes looked to hold sadness as she quietly answered all of the questions asked by Inutashio. She didn't even have time to worry that on the other side of Sesshoumaru, Kagura was basically throwing herself at him.
“And your parents… what youkai class are they? In fact, where are they? I'm sure they could have spent Thanksgiving with you instead of throwing you off on us.” Inutashio said coldly.
“Inutashio!” His wife Izayoi said in a scolding and yet astonished manner.
Kagome and Inu Yasha's mouths both dropped visibly. Inu Yasha had told her from the beginning that the whole dinner would probably be something out of a soap opera but neither had expected that. Kagura pulled herself away from Sesshoumaru to get a better look at Inutashio. The man that she had been planning to make her father-in-law was quite cruel and she liked it.
Sesshoumaru who had been monitoring the conversation for a while hadn't even seen that one coming. He was about to get up and wrestle his old man for everything he was worth until Rin's fork dropped on the table. He uttered her name softly but she didn't seem to hear it.
“Izayoi-sama may I be excused?” She asked as she stood with a slight bow. It was proper mannerisms to always ask the head female of the house to leave the table before the meal was completed.
“Of course dear…” Izayoi said slowly.
Rin got up slowly but when Sesshoumaru began to scoot his chair back to follow her, she shook her head. “It's okay Sesshoumaru, I'll be right back.” She brushed her hand against his back as she passed by reassuringly but it didn't matter. He could already smell the tears.
Sesshoumaru had about had it. As soon as Rin was around the corner he growled at his father or maybe it was a snarl. But all Inu Yasha knew was this could not turn out good and he instinctively pulled Kagome's chair away from where his father and Sesshoumaru sat.
“This doesn't look good…” Inu Yasha muttered as the air in the room became quite cold. Kagome shivered involuntarily.
“Don't take that tone with me Sesshoumaru. It was for your own good.” Inutashio said coldly.
“Inutashio, kitchen now,” Izayoi said with a commanding snap. She got up, grabbed her husband's ear and led him out of the dining room in a very much indeed undignified position.
After a few seconds the situation slapped Kagome in the face. And she couldn't tell if her anger at Inutashio was more than her pity for Rin. But after weighting it she figured she better go find Rin.
Inu Yasha seemed to have the same idea. “Find Rin, she's in the east wing at the back of the house. I'll try to calm down Sesshoumaru.”
Sesshoumaru sat at the table stabbing his steak savagely. His face was masked but when he looked up at Inu Yasha his eyes flashed red for a second. Inu Yasha flinched at the look. “I'm going to kill him.” Sesshoumaru said with absolutely no emotion in his voice. He spoke like he had just asked someone what time it was.
“I think you should think that over Sesshoumaru. I mean that is quite rash and it sounds like something I would do and you don't want to be like me. Or do you secretly wish you were me?” Inu Yasha said trying his hardest to get some of Sesshoumaru's focus off of Inutashio.
All of a sudden Sesshoumaru punched a hole in the wall behind him. He then began to walk toward the kitchen. Before Inu Yasha could move to stop him Kagura did. “Listen Sesshoumaru, honey, don't do anything rash alright. I mean she's just some low class demon…”
Kagura didn't even see it coming; Sesshoumaru's hand began to drip acid on the floor inches from her face. “Do you have a death wish?” Kagura shook her head. “I thought not.” Sesshoumaru replied as he made his way into the kitchen.

“Rin are you okay?” Kagome asked as she walked up toward the girl on sitting on the staircase with her head buried into her gown. Kagome walked closer as she listened to Rin's muttering.
“I am Lady Rin Kiyoshi of the Eastern Lands. I am the first heir to the throne for my brother gave up his title for his love Kirara Kiyoko. My father went missing in a battle when I was three. My mother was murdered during the Massacre of the Blood Red Rose by his Lord Naraku Inzen of the Hades Corridor, right before my very eyes. My brother Shippo was ripped away from me as I was pushed out of my kingdom, in hopes that I could one day save my people. My tears are the third part of the key to the Greek Tartarus. I am the last hope of reopening the Gate of the East. If I am unable to do my duties many more will suffer, just as I have. I am Lady Rin Kiyoshi first princess of the Eastern Lands. But what does it mean… What does it mean?” Rin whispered as her tears fell to the floor quietly.
“It means that above all things you must be strong, for your people…” Kagome said as she sat down next to Rin and gave her a hug. “I can't even begin to tell you that I understand what it is like for you. I don't know what it feels like to be the last of the line. But I do understand that you found somewhat of a new life. And even though we might have to leave it behind for a while I know that you've been really happy Rin. I can see it your eyes and even when you smile. And all that has to be enough to keep going for your people…”
“For my people…” Rin said giving Kagome a small smile as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
“Now come on, you have to go and get Sesshoumaru before he tries to kill his father.” Kagome said lugging Rin through the house.

Sesshoumaru was ready to wage war on his father as he walked into the kitchen. “You had no right to speak to Rin like that.” He stated calmly still masking his face.
Inutashio, who had been in a heated conversation with Izayoi, looked at his oldest son. “I don't think that you can be the judge of that Sesshoumaru.” He replied coldly.
“This Sesshoumaru believes that he can judge you however he pleases.” Sesshoumaru said with a low growl. “I let it go when you remarried only weeks after my mother's death. I stood by as you tried and push that wench Kagura on me. But you went a bit too far making my Rin cry.” Sesshoumaru said not even noticing that he had placed possession on Rin.
“You idiotic puppy, she is only with you for your title.”
“And you're only bothering her because of hers…” Sesshoumaru growled.
Inutashio was about to suggest that they take the fight outside when Rin walked into the kitchen. Her eyes sparkled sadly but she wasn't crying anymore. Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed back gold as she gave him a genuine smile. A long awkward silence passed between them and after what seemed like an eternity, Rin broke it.
“Inutashio-dono, about the question you asked earlier…” Rin started as she caught the old dog's eyes. He raised an eyebrow; he had completely forgotten why he was in that kitchen about to be attacked by his eldest son. “My father went missing in a battle when I was three, so he is assumed dead. My mother was murdered during the Massacre of the Blood Red Rose. So, it is quite impossible to spend the holiday season with my parents.” Rin said as she gave him a sad smile.
Izayoi gasped and Inutashio instantly regretted the whole situation. “It was very nice to meet you Inutashio-dono, Izayoi-dono.” Rin said with a gracious curtsy. “But it is getting late and I have to start my Christmas shopping early tomorrow so I bid you all farewell.”
Rin quietly walked over to Sesshoumaru. “Kagome's having a sleepover so I'll see you tomorrow, okay?” Rin said pecking him softly on the cheek. Sesshoumaru nodded and Rin walked out.

“I don't know how you did it Rin…” Sango said as she lay on the couch in the dorm shared by her and Miroku. He had decided to stay with Moushi for the weekend so Rin and Kagome decided to stay over. “You should have killed him.”
“He's Sesshoumaru's dad. I kind of remember him. I met him when I was really little, thank the heavens he doesn't remember me… But a lot of royals are like that. My dad was sometimes, according to Shippo.” Rin said as she put in White Chicks.
“That has nothing to do with it. He had no right to treat you that way…” Sango said angrily.
“I was completely mortified when he said that. And if we had gotten there any later Sesshoumaru might have killed him.” Kagome said remembering the look Sesshoumaru gave his father before he walked out of the kitchen.
“Speaking of which, why did you go with Inu Yasha, shouldn't Kinky-hoe have gone with him?” Rin asked hoping they would stay away from the Inutashio subject for awhile.
“She didn't want to be around him when he was sick.” Kagome said with a slight blush knowing good and damn well where Rin was going with this conversation. “And he asked me to come because I had mentioned that I didn't have anywhere to go…”
“Are you the other woman Kagome?” Sango said with a fake shocked expression on her face.
“No!” Kagome said as her face turned a beet red color.
“What happens behind closed doors in your dorm?” Rin asked with an evil grin.
“Nothing! Stop picking on me! The same question could apply to you as well!” Kagome said shaking a finger at Rin. “Not only does he know you're a girl but you're dating him.”
“Hey, I know what happens in between the sheets in my dorm. The question is, do you?” Rin said with a playful smirk.
“You didn't Rin…” Sango said with a gasp as she covered her mouth.
“Not what you're thinking. My make out sessions are nothing compared to what you and Miroku did on the god-be-damned couch.” Rin said a matter-of-factly.
“Wait, what happened on the couch?” Kagome said moving away from it as though it was contaminated.
“Kagome I'm sure you know what dry humping is. Well, Sango and Miroku were doing it all over that couch. Why do you think I refuse to sit on it?” Rin laughed out.
“Eww… Sango, you and Miroku, all over the couch… Yuk-a-listic!” Kagome said with a fake gag.
“Shut up!” Sango yelled as she threw a pillow at Kagome.
“Oh… you're so gonna regret that!” Kagome yelled playfully as she threw a pillow at Sango. She ducked and it hit Rin. And that's when the infamous pillow fight started.

Hi there, this was a fast update. I meant to update another one of my stories instead of this one but it ended up being deleted by my younger sister so I have to go start all over on it, but because I wanted to post something this had to do.
Anyway I got my learners! Hahahahahaha!!! I'm so happy but I accidentally made my friend fail but that's okay she'll pass next time! Any way I don't have much to say because I've been bored lately. (I'm a LIAR, I always have something to say!)
But I have a question, has anyone ever read Grapes of Wrath, Song of Solomon, or the Jungle? I have to read them for school and I needed to know how long it takes to read them for the average person. All of my friends happily suffered through the Jungle. Because from what I can tell Grapes of Wrath is quite boring. Or it could be because I hate reading realistic stuff. I need mystic unexplainable things in my reading and my school's summer reading list isn't cutting it.
I also have to read A Light in August and The Times of their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony. The only book I read from my summer reading list was The Cartoon History of the United States and that's because it was a giant comic book. Everything else is just a tad bit boring. Then I have to right 10 paragraphs on each book and it can't be a summary it has to tell about my feelings and how I interpret the book. I have to quote form each book and say how the quote makes me feel. Damn it I have a shrink and he's not this damn annoying! This reading across the curriculum is a load of BULL SHIT! Why could my mother have me 5 years earlier when you only learned the stuff needed to survive not a load of other shit that will do you no good in the real world!
Oh well, to the person who is silently yelling at me for posting yet another chapter without Shippo, hold your horses he's coming. I already have that part written out. Shippo will appear either in chapter 11 or 12 and that's a promise.
And to the people who are predicting about Kagome and Inu Yasha's relationship in the near future. I just have to say a few of you came quite close to what I was planning to do but no one hit the nail right on the head but good job!
To those of you who are going WTF Rin's a royal and what does Tartarus have to do with this, I have something to say to you, wait for the 13th chapter, damn it. I made a conversation between Shippo Kagome and Sango that should explain everything okay. Good, so just sit tight for about another week.
And to those who are reading and not reviewing I say a puupuu to you good sir and good ma'am! But I still love you because I have a hit counter but I would be nice to get more reviews you know…
And to those who wished me a happy birthday I would like to say thanks I had a wonderful day and I slept through most of it. I'm still getting gifts though. And my daddy is taking me out for ice cream later. I'm so happy for me.
Oh, to the people who wanted dividers, 801 will be dividing the story until I get tired of it which will probably be at the end of the month. Then I'll just use something else, no big. I'll go back through the other chapters and divide them later. Right now I'm going to play Adventure Quest on the internet! Battleon rocks!
Well, I think I covered everything I was supposed to in this chapter. Fare thee well I'll be back with more chapters later! You know, after my mom stops being mad at me because of my rebellious nature! BYE!!!
