Chapter 9

Rin sat in the large bathroom at the vanity looking at herself in the mirror. She hated that it was now she was freaking out. She looked around the bathroom, it was beautiful, amazing actually, any girl would love to be her right now and in this position, but just the thought that she was in such a dire position, going to an expensive banquet, wearing such expensive clothes and lingerie, which Sesshomaru picked out, and Naraku-

“Oh Rin, what have you gotten yourself into?” she asked her reflection. It was now she wished that her reflection could speak back. There was a sudden knock at the door. Rin jumped, practically falling off the stool, but caught herself.

“Oh my dear!” Mrs. Yahiko exclaimed, aka Mrs. Pots. Rin looked to the woman shocked. What was she doing in here? “Master Sesshomaru requested that I come and aid you in dressing for this evening. He assumed you would be having a fit about all this.” The woman looked her up and down, “And by the looks of things, he was right as usual.” Rin blushed, and looked back to her reflection in the mirror.

“Mrs. Yahiko-”

“Aya,” she corrected.

“Aya, there really is no need for that. I'm alright.” Rin tried to reassure the woman, but by the 'no bullshit' look on her face, she knew it wasn't working.

“Nonsense! You won't get rid of me that easily.” The woman turned and pointed outside the door to the bed where the beautiful dress laid. It just made her more nervous, “And if you think you are getting into that dress all by yourself without destroying it, you are quite mistaken my dear. Now have you showered?” Rin nodded yes. “Good, then you have an hour left, just enough time for your makeup and hair, and I have the perfect style for your hair.” Rin watched as the woman worked on her hair. She was more than grateful. She didn't know if she would have even started prepping if this woman weren't here to give her a push.

When the butler was done, Rin couldn't help but gawk at herself in the mirror. “Oh my, Aya, I love it!” She stared at the pulled back and pinned up hair with long beautiful curls that fell wonderfully around her. She watched as Aya opened one of the drawers and pulled out diamond pins. She stuck them in her hair where she could, which gave her hair-do so much more flare and elegance all at once.

“Mr. Taisho can really pick them can't he?”

“What do you mean?” Rin asked.

“Well first of all, he picked everything out for you tonight, from the shoes to even your hair style,” Really! “But the most beautiful thing he chose tonight is the beautiful woman who does all these assets a huge justice.” Rin blushed, she had never been told that she was beautiful so much in one week. Well there was Naraku, but, whatever.

“Thank you Aya.”

“Now let's start the makeup shall we.”

Once done with that and a couple more compliments of how beautiful she was, Mrs. Pots headed out into the bedroom and picked up a paper store bag off the ground, and returned to the bathroom. “Master Sesshomaru also requested that I give you these.” Oh no, not more gifts! “Close your eyes, and don't open them until I say.” She shut them and waited. She felt something cold rest around her neck, but refrained from opening her eyes like the woman requested. She heard something placed on the vanity top, and wanted more than anything to open her eyes. Come on woman! “Alright you may open them now.”

Rin opened her eyes and her mouth instantly dropped open. Around her neck was a diamond necklace and she knew they were real, but she couldn't tell how many carats. Oh gosh! She looked at what was placed on the vanity to see silver satin closed toed heels, they had to be expensive. Double oh gosh!

“Aya, I can't wear these. There's no way I can wear all this. It's like I'm begging to be kidnapped! Why is he doting on me like this, he hates me,” she thought about their stolen kisses, “well a little.” The woman laughed at her. What was so funny?

“Oh my dear. First of all, with Master Sesshomaru there is no way you could even be kidnapped, he would kill them before anyone could lay a hand on you, second you are a beautiful amazing woman why shouldn't he dote on you, and third there is no way in the world that my master hates you, not even a little.” Rin thought about this for a moment still not convinced. “Thought I find it refreshing that you are complaining, it lets me know you do not want him for his money.”

“Aya I'm not that type of woman.”

“Indeed you are not. Now put on those heels and let us get you into that dress.” Rin did just as she was told, and smiled at how the satin felt against her finger when she was putting the heels on. The woman pulled on the dress for her, which was a perfect fit, and felt wonderful on her skin. Once zipped up, she dabbed some perfume on her wrists and neck. “Perfect! Now lets go see your date.”

Rin walked out ready to go, and when she saw Sesshomaru at the foot of the stairs bantering with Inuyasha, she couldn't help but gawk. He had on a black tux with a red vest underneath that matched the color of her dress, underneath the vest was a black dress shirt, and his bow tie was the same red color with diamond stitching. His hair was also pulled back tightly into a ponytail. He just looked good enough to eat. She cleared her throat to get their attention, and when she saw the way they looked at her, she suddenly wished she hadn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Whoa,” Sesshomaru heard Inuyasha say beside him, but he ignored his half demon brother. He was suddenly entranced by the beautiful goddess making her way down the stairs. The way the dress hugged her waist and showed her curvaceous shaped, caused him to notice every sway of her hips. It actually made him want to carry her back upstairs, rip the dress right off of her, and do some very less than innocent things to her. He was glad mating season was ending tonight. He didn't know how much more of this he could take!

He walked up to the stairs to meet her and took her hand to aid her as she descended. He smiled when he saw the nervous look on her face. “You look beautiful,” he complimented, and was happy to finally see the nervous look on her face disappear.

“I don't think beautiful is a good enough word Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha said, still drooling over Rin. Sesshomaru stepped in his line of sight to tear the mutts eyes off of hi-, well, Rin. Inuyasha raised his hand in surrender and took a few steps back. “I'll just be leaving now. I have to see if the restaurant is fairing well.” He watched as Inuyasha walked away, then felt Rin tug on his hand. He looked to the beautiful woman.

“You didn't even properly introduce us,” she said disappointingly. Sesshomaru sighed and called his brother back.

“Inuyasha wait!” He offered his arm to Rin, and held in a smirk when she blushed, and wrapped her arm around his.

“What is it now.”

“I want you to officially meet Miss Rin Hamasaki. She's my Executive Assistant. Rin this is my annoying younger brother Inuyasha.”

“Wait a minute, this is the woman you chose over Sara,” Sesshomaru nodded, “well hooray for you bro.” He glared when Inuyasha leaned in toward Rin.

“You wouldn't happen to have a sister would you?” He rolled his eyes when Rin laughed.

“It's nice to meet you too Inuyasha, and no I do not have a sister, but I do have a beautiful friend named Kagome, and I have a feeling she's just your type.”

“Cool, let's swap numbers.” Sesshomaru frowned when Rin released his arm and crossed his own. When the two were done playing the dating game Inuyasha retreated. Sesshomaru looked to Rin as a way to ask if she was done setting her friend up with guys she didn't even know.

“What! Kagome can do so much better than the guy she's with right now,” she said.

“And your first pick was loud mouth and annoying Inuyasha?”

“Yes, because those are exactly the type of men she likes. Not rude, selfish, and snobbish.”
“I think you need to work on your matching skills.”

“Now now you two, go on before you're late,” Aya said.

“It's not me it's him. He's the one questioning my date matching abilities.” He watched as Rin crossed her arms and headed for the door on her own. She glanced at him, and actually turned her nose up at him continuing on her way.

“You caught a tough one Master Sesshomaru, please don't lose her.” He looked to the woman.

“You know I do not date humans,” he replied. She smiled.

“Well there is a first time for everything.” He didn't reply to that and headed out, following behind a pouting Rin. Even once in the limo she continued to pout. He couldn't help but smile.

“You continue to pout and I'll have to bite those lips to make you stop.” He watched as she tried to continue to stay upset with him, but her laugh won the battle.

“You really piss me off sometimes you know that,” she looked to him, but there was something there in her eyes he did not want to see, “and then you find a way to make me smile again.”

He didn't know what to say to that. The way she spoke and looked at him sounded more like she was- “What can I say, your boss has skills.” They both laughed, and for the first time since Kagura died, he felt himself actually relax. There was something about this woman that made everything suddenly feel right, like his world was whole again.

They chatted as they made there way to the banquet. He noticed that the closer they got to Naraku's mansion the closer Rin ended up next to him. He felt her fingers brush against his as if she wanted to grab his hand. That he knew he would not initiate.

“Rin there is nothing for you to be worried about. You will do just fine. Truthfully, there is nothing that these people there can do that you can not.”

“You're just saying that so that I don't back out in finding the clues you need,” she replied amusingly.

“Well yes that, and I can't have you being too nervous and getting yourself caught.” This he was serious about. He could not have her ruin this chance that he finally had to figure out this Naraku once and for all. There was just something too sneaky about him, and when a dog didn't like something on first encounter, there was always a reason.

“You really do think he did this don't you?”

“Well not him exactly. I don't think he started the fire or shot Kanna, but I think he had a part in both cases.”

“But why would he? What would he have to gain out of both deaths?”

“Well Miss Hamasaki, that is what you are supposed to figure out tonight, and I have no doubt that you can do it. If you can deal with being my assistant, than you can find some measly clues. You know his mansion better than I do, and I'm sure that if I suddenly disappeared from the party he would definitely notice. Now can you do this?” He realized the more he was around this woman the more he was willing to speak. For some reason it bothered him.

“Yes Sesshomaru, I know I can do it.” He saw the determination on her face. He nodded, and right on cue they arrived at Naraku's mansion. The driver opened their door for the both of them and Sesshomaru instantly offered his arm to Rin. She took it and they made their way up to the door. He could hear gentle music playing, and approached the male who held the doors. He wasn't even asked for his name the door was simply opened.

“Welcome Mr. Taisho, it is a pleasure having you this evening.” He ignored the man and continued in. There were guest everywhere. He noticed how everyone's eyes were on them as they made there way to the main room of the house. He felt Rin hold on to his arm more tightly, and held in a smirk.

“Well well, I knew we would meet again.” Sesshomaru looked to see that it was the scum Panther demon who was head of the Panther Co.

“Kira,” he heard Rin gasp.

“Miss Hamasaki, what a pleasure it is to see you again, and surprisingly on the arm of Lord Sesshomaru here, and looking as beautiful as I remembered, but even more tonight.” Sesshomaru noticed the tinge of blush on Rin's checks as the felines eyes roamed over her form, and frowned.

“Kira I was not expecting to see you this evening,” Sesshomaru commented.

“On the contrary Sesshomaru I was not expecting to see you at the banquet of the head of you rivaling University. I never pegged you as a peace keeper.”

“That's because I'm not. Excuse me I think Miss Hamasaki needs a drink.” He moved toward the cater that was carrying around trays of wine. He snatched up two for Rin and himself. “How do you know that man,” he finally asked her.

“I bumped into him when I was coming up on your floor for my interview and he was heading to the elevator.” Ah the day he had changed his mind about canceling his meeting with the Panther Co. and reconsidered canceling her interview. Also the day he found out she was human, and that there was a new rule to hire at least one human in each company. There were many calls he had to make that day to his branched of businesses.

His father's company was big on imports and exports and he had a reason to believe that the Panther Co. was smuggling illegal goods. He did not want a business like that tarnishing his fathers hard work which was why he declined their offer.

“I see, well stay away from him, he's bad news,” he warned. She smiled.

“So are you Mr. Taisho, yet I can't help but stay.” He finally caught sight of Naraku and the demon smiled heading in their direction.

“Oh gosh,” Rim mumbled without moving her lips.

“Sesshomaru I am so happy you made it.” He took the demons offered hand and shook it, though he was annoyed when he turned to Rin.

“Rin I've missed you. We haven't seen or spoken to each other in ages.” Sesshomaru was surprised when the two hugged each other. There was a way to intimate feel about it. He watched as the demon released her  yet took a hold of her hands a he examined her. “And you are looking extravagant this evening. This is a beautiful dress, courtesy of Mr. Taisho I assume.” He spun her around to get the full view of her dress and had a satisfied look on his face. “It suits you.”

“Thank you,” Rin replied.

Sesshomaru held back a growl not wanting to ruin their plan tonight, but the way Rin looked at him shyly and the way her cheeks reddened was bothering him more than he thought it would. He was missing something.

“I'm happy to see you're being taken care of, but speaking of, your rent will be due soon. I will send you a check.”

“Naraku no, I'm working as an Executive Assistant now. Our deal was you'd pay my rent until I got a job to pay it myself, and you always send too much,” she whined.

“Well you do need clothing and food as well Rin. Your parents left you to me. I just want to take care of you.”

“I'm fine in the hands of Mr. Taisho here.” She looked to him, but he said nothing at there sudden realization that he was still standing here.

“Excuse us Lord Sesshomaru we're being quite rude.”

“Oh no you two are acting exactly how I expected,” he said throwing back the rest of his wine and walking away to retrieve another. He knew that for some reason tonight was going to be a very long, frustrating, and annoying one.
