Chapter 8
Rin walked into the apartment with a huge smile plastered on her face. She practically tripped over the threshold, trying to race to her room to get her makeup as Sesshomaru requested, and she also snatched her toothbrush from the bathroom. She even changed into some shorts and a tank top. She still felt nervous about it, especially after what happened in his office. Is he just going to act like it never happened?
She hurried to the door, but was stopped by Kagome. “Rin wait up! I have something I need to tell you.” Rin sighed impatiently and turned back to the female. “Plus you've been working so much these past few weeks that we haven't had the chance to sit down and talk.”
“I'm sorry, you're right, but I'll make it up to you some way.”
“Well you can, tomorrow night when we have Pierre over for dinner.” Rin's mouth dropped open when she heard what her friend had just said. She was hoping that she heard wrong, but she knew she wasn't that lucky. She definitely wouldn't be in the mood for that tomorrow evening. The funeral.
“Who's coming where?” Kagome rolled her eyes.
“Rin, Pierre said he'll come over tomorrow night and have dinner with us. I hope you'll be there, I want you guys to meet.” She wanted to say no, but she knew that she had to support her friends relationship, even if the guy she was with was crappy and sound like a douche bag. Damn!
“Fine, what time?”
“Yes!” Kagome yelled excitedly. “He'll be here at seven-thirty. Will you be off of work at that time?”
“Most likely, but there's also something I want to tell you.” Kagome tilted her head.
“Mr. Taisho asked me to join him to a banquet tonight,” Rin said. Kagome shrugged.
“Okay, what's so wrong about that?”
“As his date,” she finished. It was Kagome's turn to be shocked and open mouthed.
“Oh Rinny, sweetheart, you know you can not date a demon.” Rin knew that was coming, and that was why she didn't want to tell her friend, but they told each other everything. But still!
“Oh Kagome please, I'm his assistant. Anything that has to do with the business I have to be there right beside him taking notes, and being his memory.” Or what was it Yura said? His PDA.
“Oh and I suppose you're going to remember each woman he grinds against and every bite of a finger sandwich he has?” Rin looked down at her watch, turning away from her friend, and heading for the door. She really didn't want or need her reprimanding right now.
“Listen Kagome I have to go. I have a certain impatient demon boss who requested my presence at his house at five-thirty, and it's almost five,” Rin said.
“At his house!”
“Bye Kags,” Rin called out the door. She ran downstairs and once in her car zoomed off to Sesshomaru's house. She wondered if his house was anything like Naraku's. Well you couldn't really call Naraku's house a house, more like a mansion, but it was his home none the less.
She followed the voice of her GPS as it led her to Sesshomaru. She was anything but ready for this, as it lead her to almost the middle of nowhere. What if all of a sudden he changed his mind, realizing that he had asked a human to attend an expensive banquet as his date? Or would if she did something wrong that embarrassed him? Would she be the collateral damage? Or worst, would she be fired? She jumped when her GPS finally told her that her destination was on the right. She looked at her destination shocked, and her mouth formed an “O”. This was not a house, but an eight story, basically castle! This was so much more than what Naraku had. How could one person live here?
It spread out in length to other attached buildings that were a little smaller, but the main part of the house still had her gawking ridiculously. “Amazing isn't it?”
She looked to the speaker, never realizing she had already pulled up to the gate security guard. She smiled when she saw that he was human. “Yes it is quite something.”
“He isn't usually here alone though. His family members constantly stay over, and his brother practically visits him everyday. Even more than usual now that a friend of his has passed. The half demon tries to act like he doesn't care for his brother, but all of us human workers know better.” Sesshomaru has a half demon brother? “But excuse me for taking up your time. Mr. Taisho is waiting for you.”
“Aren't you going to ask me for my name?” Rin asked. He smiled.
“Nope, don't have to, the boss gave me a picture of who to expect is coming at each and every time. It's a new rule, something about encountering horrible security guard services.” Rin moved on ahead when he opened the gate. She looked at her watch to see that it was five-twenty-five. She parked headed to the door, waited for a few minutes to pass, and when it hit five-thirty she rang the doorbell. The door was instantly opened and once again she smiled when the butler that came up to the door was a female human. She was a fairly old woman, but still had an air to her that said that you shouldn't under estimate her. The woman smiled brightly at her.
“Oh what a lovely surprise, and so beautiful. I am Mrs. Aya Yahiko, the butler, but you can just call me Aya. Mr. Taisho is waiting for you in the den.” Rin smiled when she thought the woman reminded her more of Mrs. Pots from Beauty and the Beast. “He was a little vexed when he returned home, but I'm sure it is nothing a lovely girl like yourself needs to worry about.” Rin kept her smile, but deep down inside she was frowning. If only the old woman knew that the reason he was vexed was because of her. Damn it!
Rin walked in and instantly heard his voice. She turned the corner to see his beautiful form faced away from her watching the news on the large screen TV. Interesting that he was the big talk all over it. They also spoke about how he would be attending Naraku's banquet and it this meant that the two Universities would be merging.
“Yes I'm still working on that,” she heard him say, “well work is a formidable opponent...I don't know when I'll defeat it honey, but it won't be long now.” She smiled when she realized he was talking to Nami on the phone, he was always so sweet and gentle with her. She flinched when he sniffed the air. She knew she was caught. He turned his head to look over his shoulder. She stayed completely still and squeezed her bag a little tighter than needed as his eyes scrutinized her, looking her up and down.
“Nami, Sesshomaru has to go now, but I'll talk to you soon,” he said. She swooned when a peaceful smile appeared on his face at something she said.
“Me too,” he said then hung up. He stood from the couch and headed over too her. For some reason she felt that she had to straighten up, and demand his respect. Probably because she was in his domain now, his territory. It was then she noticed that he was wearing faded jeans a shirt a black shirt and black puma suede sneakers. He looked so casually delicious. She tried to remember to breath as he slid the door to the den shut.
“Casual looks amazing on you,” she complimented. After what happened this morning, and getting a taste of the forbidden fruit, she felt she had the right to stare and admire. He grunted.
“Don't talk like that. Today is the end of mating season, which actually means its the last day not technically the end. I wrote it that way for my sake.” She shivered when his eyes roamed over her body. She wanted to yell that he didn't have to hold back, that he could take her right now, but she knew that wouldn't be right, especially since he didn't want it to happen. She decided that she would tease him a little instead.
“I can't help it, you were such an amazing kisser, and mmm the way you're tongue just-”
“Stop!” He warned, his hand landing on the area of the wall right beside her head. He was so close, and she realized too late that her first reaction to fend him off was planting her palms on his firm abdomen. She could feel them rippling through his shirt as he breathed. Oh this is bad, real bad!
“Okay okay, you were the one who threw yourself at me remember! I didn't beg you to kiss me, and suck on my neck,” she felt herself leaning into him, “and slowly and teasingly lick whatever part of my body you could reach,” she breathed. He leaned his forehead against the wall behind her, and she gasped when it caused him to lean more into her. She felt something hard press into her pelvic area. She knew they were losing the battle to resist each other when she rocked into him and he back.
“Rin stop,” he whispered hoarsely in her ear, almost begging her, and the thought just turned her on even more. She just wanted to tease him, not arouse him, but she only stupidly aroused herself as well. He was the first to open the door to all of this, two weeks of suffering was enough for her.
“I don't want to,” she replied, pulling his face to hers, begging that he'd kiss her. When their eyes locked, she saw the desire and lust in his eyes, and knew her eyes were revealing the same thing. “What I want is for you to take me right here right now,” she said seductively, but she couldn't even believe it was her who said those words. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head, still leaning into him as the rock hard object between his leg continued to press against her now wet core.
“Who am I to deny,” he replied, and just when she thought she got him to give in Mrs. Pots interrupted.
“I brought tea,” she knocked. Sesshomaru quickly pulled away from her and walked back to the couch. Which left Rin breathing heavily against the wall. The woman walked in looked to her, then to Sesshomaru. She felt herself redden when the woman gave her a knowing grin. Ugh, Mrs. Pots why?
“You can leave it there on the table Aya,” Sesshomaru said. Rin finally pulled herself together, and moved to the couch, but sat as far away as possible from Sesshomaru.
“I'll leave you two to talk then.” She left the room and there was complete silence. She looked to him but his eyes were on the television. She saw the remote, grabbed it, and shut it off.
“I was watching that,” he replied coldly. Oh great he's mad now, while I'm still sitting here checking him out. Damn! Guess the fun was over.
“Well maybe now we can discuss what you want me to do tonight,” she offered, which finally got him to look at her.
“Now you want to talk? Are you sure you wouldn't want me to take you right here, right now?” She knew he said that in spite of her, but two could play at that game. She made a gesture with her finger as if it were walking toward him.
“As long as you spank me when I slip, and am no longer formal Mr. Taisho.” He glared at her, “Because I know how much you love it when I'm formal when we're being so intimate.” He gave her the infamous Sesshomaru death glare, and she gave him the infamous 'kiss my ass' glare.
“I want you, while the banquet is going on to search his room and such for any type of clue that he might have had a hand in Kagura's or Kanna's death.”
“I can't believe you think Naraku had anything to do with this. He loved her, and if because he was her boyfriend makes him a suspect, the why aren't the officers questioning you?” He glared at her once more, but this time she couldn't hold up against him, because she knew she went too far. “I'm sorry. I understand if you want to kick me out now.”
“Ex boyfriend,” he corrected, “and I was already questioned, but of course I had a alibi that night.” she frowned when sh realized she was bringing back sad memories. “He was abusive and beat her. I bet you didn't even know that.” She stared at him shocked. She would have never imagined Naraku to do something like that. “He acted like an angel before your very eyes, but behind closed doors he was beating his girlfriend, he was beating Kagura, and that is why I find him a suspect.”
“I didn't know,” she sighed.
“As for Mating Season, it happens every spring.” Every spring! “So I might have you work from home that week.”
“Is that why you've been being so distant, yet staring at me more than usual?” When she asked the last, her eyes went to her hands in her lap. There was a moment of silence between them. She was shocked when he was the first to speak.
“I can not be with a human,” he stated.
“And I can't be with a demon,” she replied. Sesshomaru looked to her, and the lust he was trying to hide was there once again in his eyes. He shook his head.
“Are you saying you don't want me Mr. Taisho?” she asked him teasingly, and he surprisingly smiled. Oh please play along!
“Rin please,” he said, scooting a little toward her. She grinned, remembering how she begged him to stop.
“Please what Mr. Taisho?” she asked, kicking off her flats and crawling seductively toward him.
“Please don't stop.” He whispered against her lips. Oh my, she didn't remember saying that, but she wished she had.
“Where is that bastard!” Sesshomaru growled and stood. Rin fell face first on the couch. When the hell will the torture end! Arguing she could handle, boss and assistant with benefits she could handle, but the constant denial of what she really wanted, she definitely could not handle!
“Inuyasha why the hell are you here?” she heard Sesshomaru ask. Rin stood to give this Inuyasha a piece of her mind.
“Well I just thought I'd bother my dear older brother.” Older brother? She peaked out the den, and right there face to face with her was a man with dog ears. They were so cute! She grabbed them and began to rub.
“Ah! Get your paws off of me chick!” He slapped her hands away. She couldn't help but notice the family resemblance. Those amazing golden eyes and the long silver hair. She quickly stood next to Sesshomaru who was giving her a disappointing look. At least it was a change from the death glare.
“What? They're cute.” Inuyasha looked between them both, and smiled.
“What's going on here Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha asked. “Don't tell me you were so desperate for sex that you actually settled.” What a jerk!
“Excuse me?”
“Rin let me take you upstairs to show you your gown.” She looked down at her watch, it was already six, she had to start getting ready. “Inuyasha if you're hungry your dog bowl is in the kitchen.”
“Bastard!” He called after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh. My. Gosh.” she squealed. She looked down at the bright red gown. It was a strapless, meant to hug the waist and hips and fanned out toward the knees. It had many diamond crystals stitched into it. What was more shocking was that all the diamonds were real. She slid her fingers against the material. It felt soft and smooth against her skin. Silk! Oh no no, could she wear such an expensive dress? “Oh Mr. Taisho, I..it's...oh my gosh.” I feel faint.
“Do you not like it?”
“Oh Mr.-” she stopped and turned to him. “When can I start calling you Sesshomaru?” He turned to the door.
“Never.” She smiled and walked around him so that they were face to face.
“Well how can I ever repay you?” she asked. She pulled him toward her. She gently planted a soft kiss on his lips. This is so weird!
“How about when we're alone?” He nodded.
“I can agree to that.”
“Sesshomaru what is this?” she asked, gesturing between the two of them.
“We'll figure that out after tonight. Get ready, and meet me downstairs in an hour and thirty minutes.” He exited shutting the door behind him. She looked down to her dress excitedly.
“It's a date.”
