Ahahahah... Here we go. The randomness of chapter thirteen. I love that number. 'Thirteen.' Everybody else I know hates it. But Friday the 13th and just... I donno. I think its magical! Mwahahahaha... ::chokes::
By the way, Rin really is Sesshomaru's daughter, she just doesn't live with him. I'll explain it soon. Oh! And in the game, Rin calls her father 'Lord Sesshomaru' because in game, she's just his ward. After the party, Sesshomaru and Kagome might go out for dinner or something, 'cause Kouga's deciding to be a possessive freak. Questions will be asked and questions will be answered.
Anyways... Here ya go!
****************
Last time...
He looked into the fire for a moment before looking back at his daughter. "Rin... This Sesshomaru likes Lady Kagome the way... The way that mommy's like daddy's and... Daddy's like mommy's." His face was rather flushed, he'd never really expected to have this conversation with his daughter. At least not for a few more years.
She cocked her head to the side and asked, "So... Lady Kagome is going to be Rin's new mommy?"
Upon hearing this he very nearly fell out of his chair.
****************
Chapter Thirteen... Enjoy!
****************
"Rin... You already have a mother and... It is not so simple as that. It is far more complicated." His tongue was having a hard time forming the right words, and he couldn't seem to find them. "As much as I like her, for her to be your... Your step-mother... She would have to like me in return."
She seemed to be having a difficult time comprehending his meaning, but he really didn't know how to explain it any better.
Her eyes seemed to light up, "So make her like you, Lord Sesshomaru! Everyone likes Lord Sesshomaru!"
He couldn't keep the smile off his face when she said so. "Oh, they do? Well how will this Sesshomaru make Lady Kagome like me? Have any good ideas?"
She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Kiss her, Lord Sesshomaru!"
Any hope he had of staying in his chair vanished when he heard her say this, and he toppled over onto the floor. Rin was up off her chair in an instant to help him to his feet. "Are you alright, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"I'm fine, Rin." He lifted the fallen chair from the floor and placed it back in its position. "Now, would you care to explain why this Sesshomaru should kiss Lady Kagome?"
"Well mama seems to like it when that ucky Naraku man kisses her..." She looked confused when she said so.
It was rather obvious she didn't seem to like the idea of her mother kissing Naraku, but neither had he when he'd caught them in bed. But that had been a long time ago, and he'd decided it had only been a matter of time before Kagura moved on to another man's bed.
The little girl stood in front of him, looking up into his eyes. "Won't you make her like you, Lord Sesshomaru?"
He smiled down at her and touched her cheek with his hand. "This Sesshomaru is trying, Rin."
****************
She was beginning to go through symptoms of withdrawls after the third day of not entering the Dimension. She really wanted to play the game, see if any updates had been made, see how many new players had been added to her server. But she couldn't play now... Not after she'd been away for so long already. And it wasn't like she really needed to play, more than likely there was nothing for her to do.
So... She had to suffer with incredible boredom. Or she could work, she still had to design something suitable for the Full Circle's building. But nothing truly inspirational had come to her. And it had to be perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect.
And now she had to find a dress. And she only had two days to do it! (A.N: By my way of thinking, this should mean that its Thursday and that she's got Friday and Saturday to find one.)
She turned and reached over her bed for her laptop, pulling it up beside her. She flicked the power button and lifted the screen, waiting for the familiar background of her favorite Dimension screenshots. There were four of them, one of each of her best friends in game.
One of Sango in her demon exterminator's outfit, posing over the carcass of a newly slain spider demon. The smirk on her face was well placed, perfect for such a screenshot. She'd always thought it would've been a much funnier picture if Sango had been wearing a little pink tutu with her hair in pigtails... But no one else could see the humour in this.
The second was of Miroku, unconscious on the ground. A large hand print on her cheek from where Sango had slapped him for grabbing her ass... Again. He just never seemed to learn to keep his hands off. He would've been able to ask her to marry him a lot sooner if he'd just listened to reasonable advice.
The third was of Shippo training with his fox fire (and she had to say that this was by far her favorite). Of course, he hadn't been very powerful back then, he'd still been fairly new to Dimension. But he was cute. If all else failed, he could give the enemy puppy dog eyes and run for his life.
The last picture was of InuYasha crouching in the God tree. She probably should change the last screenshot, since she and InuYasha had fallen out over... Kikyo.
'Bitch.'
When the group had still been together, Kikyo had betrayed them on a particularly big quest to take out one of the newer mission bosses, and of course, InuYasha could never believe this about his precious Kikyo. He sided with her when the group fought and she nearly got him killed. But that didn't seem to matter to him, after all... He proposed to her.
In the real world, of course.
That still really got her pissed off, seeing as how she had liked him once upon a forever ago. Just a crush, but you never forget them for some odd reason. Not when they're marrying your sister anyways.
When her laptop finished loading completely, she tracked the cursor over the Internet icon and double clicked. Fully intent on finding a dress over the Internet. Odds are, she'd have more luck finding one online than in any store in the city. The Internet just so happened to be a wonderful tool.
****************
Sesshomaru woke up on Friday morning feeling worse than when he'd gone to bed. And that was saying something. She hadn't been online all night and he'd waited until he could barely stay awake. And that had been sometime around four in the morning. Probably hadn't been a good idea to pull an all-nighter, seeing as how he had to be in the office at 9.
He sat up in bed and let his legs move over the side so his feet touched the floor. He made his way to his closet, not really sure if he intended to go to work or not. He was rather tired, after all.
He could call in sick... Or he could just make his way back to his bed and sleep the rest of the day away.
He walked back to his bed and jumped onto it, burying his face in his pillows. 'Good idea.'
****************
"Please, please, please Sango?" she begged over her cellphone. "I promise you'll have fun... Whatever fun can be had while shopping for a dress anyways. And you need to find one too, remember? Or have you lost your invite already?"
"No, I did not lose the invitation, Kaye," a miffed voice replied, sighing in defeat. "Alright, you annoying wench. Where do you want me to meet you?"
She laughed into the receiver. "Got a nickname and a wench practically in the same sentence! You must be fond of me."
"Oh, shut up and tell me where to find you!" Sango barked. She was always rather grumpy this time of the month... Ahem.
She thought a moment about the best place to begin her search for the perfect gown. "The North Prairie Mall? Don't they have that fabulous boutique on the corner by that cafe? The Palm?"
"Uh-huh, they do. What time shall I come by?"
"I'm headed there right now, Sango dear." There was a slight pause, before she pleaded, "And don't bring Miroku with you."
Sango laughed, "Wouldn't dream of it, Kagome." And with that... She hung up. Not a goodbye or anything.
'Ahh, the rudeness of some people. Oh, but how I loveth thee!'
****************
She and Sango had tried on at least half the gowns the boutique had in stock, not one of them right for either girl. There had been some that had the potential to be gorgeous, but they'd just so happened to be in the wrong color. And color could mean everything! Color and the length of the skirt.
And they had to make an impression... Sango for their company. KS Designs. Rather bland title, but they were working on it. And they'd really only been in business some three and a half years. And of course, Kagome had to make an impression on... Someone. She hadn't quite decided on who yet. She still had to find a date.
There were really only two people she could bring with her, and she really wasn't looking forward to making the decision. It was either Hojo or Kouga. Not that they weren't fine young men... They just weren't for her.
Hojo was way too nice, and he was kind of a... Wuss. And he always seemed to stear clear of her whenever she was ill. Wouldn't so much as give her a call. And he seemed to really disapprove of her friends. Sure they were odd and Miroku was a pervert, but they suited her.
Kouga was too... He was too much of... Kouga. He was rather hard to explain. For as long as she could remember, he'd called her his woman. She wasn't even sure he knew her name. But he'd professed his undying love for her and he was rather possessive. And in most cases, that would be a good thing. But he took it to a whole new level. Not cool.
So on one hand, she could take Hojo, who would more than likely accompany her and ask her every three minutes if she was alright or not. Or she could take Kouga, who would latch himself onto her arm and snarl and grown at any who should try to talk to her.
'And oh, how decisions suck.'
"How about this one Kagome?" Sango asked, holding up a crimson, thin strapped gown with a slit to the hip. Sequins trailed from the breast, down the side along the slit on either side and around the bottom of the skirt. "I admit, it is rather flashy, but the train is quite pretty."
She laughed at her friend's girlishness. "So go try it on!" she said as she continued her quest. Marvelous thing to call it, really.
'Oh, and what the boys would think of me now! Me, the mighty warrior priestess, Kagome! Shopping... For a dress.'
She sighed, stopping when she came across a multi-blue gown and holding it out so she could see it. The blue went from a pale blue at the bust and faded, making its way darker and darker until it appeared to be almost black at the bottom. Sequins were sewn into place along the bottom, giving it the appearance of the night sky. Strapless, a slit making its way about halfway up the back.
She turned when she heard the rustling of fabric behind her. "Oh Sango, its absolutely perfect for you! The color is magnificent."
Sango smiled and looked at the gown in Kagome's hand. "Aha, and look at the pretty thing you've got there. Aiming to impress a special someone with that?"
She glared at her. "Oh, do shut up Sango." She made her way to the dressing room to further prove to herself that the dress she'd found was perfect.
****************
By the time he walked into the building, it was already well after 4 o'clock. He was actually quite amazed he'd managed to sleep so long without disturbance. He'd expected his brother to call at least once. And if he had... Well, he'd slept through it.
He could tell by the looks he'd been getting that his employees were beginning to suspect something was going on. More than likely they thought he was having an affair. The woman, he imagined, was his designer. Now, he couldn't say the thought hadn't crossed his mind, because it had. He'd just pushed it far enough back so as to ignore it.
Besides, he'd been having enough difficulty with just one woman. Bringing another into the situation could prove to have some immediate displeasing consequences. The wrath of a woman is not to be taken lightly.
He made his way to the elevator, pleased to at last be away from curious laughing eyes. He pushed the button for his floor, and settled in for the ride up, silently praying that InuYasha had decided to take the day off as well.
****************
End of Chapter Thirteen... Ahahaha. I love that number.
Heaven help me, I am so bored. I'm obviously sorta kinda still at my dad's (now that you're reading it I'm not, but at the moment I am) and I've been home alone all day. Rodeo weekend and whatnot.
We went to the Demolition Derby on Friday. It was so awesome. During the third heat, one of the cars took a really big hit and flipped over... And... The car that hit it somehow landed on top of it. It was awesome. The people sitting behind us, I'm guessing, were related to the driver pinned under the car and holy shit... HOSTILE!
They were yelling all kinds of evil mean stuff. It was frickin' funny. Whenever the black GKC car would drive by (that's the one that flipped the one over) they'd boo him and yell at him. 'Twas great.
I've watched five movies thus far today. Well... This is the fifth. The first was Waterworld. Then Tarzan. Then Monster's Inc. Then Robin Hood. The last three were Disney movies. And now I'm watching The Village. I think I'm gonna watch the Hulk next, but I'm not sure. ::yawn:: Actually, I might go to sleep after this one.
I also might be going home either tomorrow or Monday, hopefully anyways. ::crosses fingers:: And I mean, I've only written two chapters, but I hope you enjoy them. Personally I think they're kinda wonky, not really going with the flow. There's been a lot of real world stuff going on the last little while, but Kagome's going to go back soon. And then I'm hoping something exciting will happen. She won't be going back until after the party, but that's soon enough anyways.
Anyways, I'm off to start the next chapter and then I'm off to do something else. Sayonara!
By the way, Rin really is Sesshomaru's daughter, she just doesn't live with him. I'll explain it soon. Oh! And in the game, Rin calls her father 'Lord Sesshomaru' because in game, she's just his ward. After the party, Sesshomaru and Kagome might go out for dinner or something, 'cause Kouga's deciding to be a possessive freak. Questions will be asked and questions will be answered.
