Author Notes: Sorry guys, I put the wrong name for Sesshomaru fiancé it should be Toran not Koura. And if you don’t remember who she is…she was the head cat demon, the one who confronted Sesshomaru by the river.

 

 

Now let’s get back with the story…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“He’s where?! You saw who there with him?!… Meet me in my office in forty-five minutes. I want you to take me to them; I want to see them with my own eyes. And you had better be on time, do you understand me……

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The next morning~~~~~~~~

CLICK!

“It’s time to wake all you sleepy heads. It is nine thirty, and you’re listening to W.O.O.Z Connie Flakes in the morning. Today temperature will be in the upper 80’s. So if you have a favorite swimsuit you been itching to wear. Today would be a perfect day to put it on. I’ll have news and more great tunes coming your way for first this…”

Click.

“Mmm…” Rin moaned as she turned off her radio. ‘Going to the beach today would be a nice.’ She thought as she slowly slid out of her bed and walked over into the bathroom.

Yesterday’s events were still plaguing her mind. Not even the comfort of a hot shower gave her any relief. “What woman…Toran Sasaki.” she sighed.

Toran Sasaki was a name that Rin knew very well. Toran was a top rated model who had been every fashion magazine since she was twelve years old. She was five eight in stature, with flawless tanned skin, a perfect oval face that showcase two electrifying blue eyes, full luscious lips and long shiny light blue hair. And to top it off...she was the perfect size two in clothing. In short, she was everything Rin unfortunately thought the perfect woman should look like.

Plus in the past few years, Toran had made another accomplishment for herself. Now at the tender age of twenty-eight, she was also the best fashion designer in the business. Her designs were so classic and beautiful that almost every woman in Japan had at least one of her creations hanging in their wardrobe.

Rin walked out of her bathroom, and over to the closet. She picked out a pair of jeans, a white shirt, short red jacket and a red scarf. And for a change, she braided her hair into one long braid. Sesshomaru told her last night that he wouldn’t need her today, so she decided to listen to the radio announcer advice and headed out to the beach.

She walked down to the kitchen and started searching around in the cabinets until she found her old picnic basket. Then she walked over to the refrigerator, opened it and started to look around, ‘Mmm…I think some club sandwiches and potato salad will be good.’

As Rin went about preparing her basket, she didn’t notice Sesshomaru standing in the kitchen entryway watching her. ‘Does nothing upset this girl?’ He thought curiously to himself. Rin just couldn’t stop amazing him. He was sure after last night that she would have packed her bag and headed back to her old home, regardless of the promise to him.

Not that he would have blamed her, after what Toran did to her at dinner. No matter how hard he tried to delete that episode from his mind, those images refuse to let him rest.

----------Flashback yesterday morning-------------------

He had just walked out of the den, when he heard Jaken yelling “Don’t you dare go inside. Master Sesshomaru never wants to see you again.”

He’s curiosity was intrigue, who in the world could Jaken be talking to. And more importantly how dare Jaken presume to know who he wants to see and not see. He was going to have a firm discussion with him later now about that.

Just as he arrived at the front door, there stood the last person in the world he would had ever expected, “Well, long time no see Sesshomaru?”

“Toran?” To say that he was shocked would have been an understatement.

“Master Sesshomaru, I try to stop her from coming in.” Jaken squawked.

He completely ignored Jaken, he just still couldn’t believe his eyes. There in front of him was the backstabbing slut he had not seen in over six years. “Yes, it has been a long time. I thought you were dead.” He said callously.

“You know I love it when you talk that way to me.” She laughed.

He eyed the woman up and down, and reflected at how she hadn’t changed in all those years. She was still the same artificial, self-center, snob that she was back in college. But then again that wasn’t all together true, there was one quite noticeable difference about her. She was missing that other man’s wedding ring on her finger, the one that she so proudly showed him on the day before their own wedding.

“Two things Toran. One, how did you find me? And two, what do you want?”

“Well first, you weren’t that hard to find. Have you forgotten…you’re doing an exhibit at the Takahashi museum. I just talked to a few of the right people and bam I got your address. Now for your second question…” She moved closer to him and smiled slyly, “How about we discuss that over dinner? What do you say? ”

He couldn’t believe it, he had to be in some alternate universe or was having the worst freaking nightmare of his life. That was the only reasonable answers he could come up with that could explain the past few moments and why she was standing before him.

“Who’s that?” Toran said curiously.

He snapped from his thoughts, and looked in the direction that she was staring at and there was Rin standing a few feet behind him.

He turned back around to Toran and coldly answered, “She is of no concern to you.”

Toran ignored his statement and walked past him over to Rin. She scrutinized at her up and down and then with a fake smile extended her hand, “Hi my name is Toran Sasaki, Sesshomaru’s fiancée and you are?”

From the expression on Rin’s face, he thought that she was going to pass out any second. As Rin shook Toran’s hand her face grew paler, and her body shook slightly. He immediately put himself between Toran and Rin, “The correct term is ex-fiancée or have you forgotten Toran.”

“A term that I plan to rectify very soon.” She replied coyly and batted her eyes, “ Face it Sesshomaru, you know somewhere deep inside the cavern that you called a heart we were meant to be together.”

“Yes Toran, once I would have agreed with you. But, that foolish moment of my life is long over with and as for now…” He moved closer to her face until they were an inch apart, “ I want you out of my house.” He commanded and pointed toward the door.

Toran looked unmoved by his statement, she simply shrugged her shoulders and walked back over to the door. She stopped before stepping out, turned around and said, “ So what time will you be picking me up for dinner Sesshomaru?”

He couldn’t believe it, the woman surely was foolish. “What in the hell would make you think, that I would ever take you out for dinner.”

“Because I know the magic word.”

“And what word is that?”

“Tokijin .”

He stared at her in bewilderment. ‘So she knows about the Tokijin auction. But what could she possibly want with it?’ He thought. As much as he never wanted to see her again, he had to know what she had to say. “Be here at six tonight.”

“Here!” She yelled, “I was thinking more along the line of a fancy restaurant, not your kitchen.”

“Well, that is where dinner will be at like or not.”

She rolled her eyes and muttered out, “Fine then, until tonight… Ciao!”

He walked over to the door and watched as she hurry to her car and drove off. Then out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Jaken cowering in the corner, “Jaken…”

“Yes master.”

“I want you to prepare a shrimp dinner for tonight.”

“But master, I thought you didn’t like shrimp.”

“Nor do I , but Toran is highly allergic to them. She should develop a rather nasty rash by morning time or better yet maybe she‘ll die.” He smirked.

“I guess you don’t want me around tonight then.” Rin said quietly.

He turned and saw how sad Rin looked, he thought his heart would burst. “No Rin, you can eat with us. I only have one interest in that woman, and it isn’t romantic.”

‘Why did I tell her that?’, he wondered. But when he looked at her again, it seemed that she looked relieved about that news. Then Rin asked, “But, Sesshomaru in the den, you said that you had a fiancée. If Toran isn’t her who is she?

“I guess you misunderstood my answer. I have no fiancée.”

After they’re conversation, the rest of the morning went by uneventful. It was later that evening at dinner when for the lack of a better term, all hell broke loose.

Toran showed up wearing a light blue halter dress, and enough make up on to choke a horse in his opinion . When she found out that Rin was going to have dinner with them, she pasted on her fake manners face and worked with the situation.

During the course of dinner, he quickly deducted that she really didn’t have any idea about the Tokijin auction. Obviously, she was trying to use the sword as a bargaining chip to influence him to come back to her. He had once made the mistake of telling her about how badly he wanted the sword while they were dating, and now she was trying to use that knowledge against him.

When he told her that there wasn’t a snowball chance in hell he would ever get back with her, things got nasty. She first called him a selfish, vulgar, egotistical bastard who should be happy that anyone wanted him, and she would made him sorry for his choice.

Then she turned her rage on a very stunned Rin . Words like hideous, obese, stupid were all hurled at her unmercifully, and for a final insult Toran threw her food on her.

That’s when he took the extreme pleasure of grabbing her by the arm and kicking her out of his house. By the time he got back to the dinning room to talk to Rin. She had already left the tablet for her room, so he went after her to talk.

------------------------------End------------------------------- < p>“Good morning Sesshomaru.”

When he looked down, and there was Rin standing in front of him with her picnic basket in hand. ‘She looks like a little red riding hood’, He thought. “Rin.”

“I thought I would go to the beach today.” She said shyly.

“That sounds like a good idea.”

She chewed softly on her bottom lips and averted her eyes from his and asked, “ I was wondering if you would like to come with me un-unless you’re busy today.”

He had planned on locating Toran and making her pay for insulting his honor and Rin‘s, but spending a non-working day with Rin sounded much more pleasuring.

“Yes… I will come with you let me get some things.” He took one step backward before stopping, “Rin…about last night, what I was trying to say. …”

“No…no.” She interrupted waving one hand, “It’s okay Sesshomaru. I understand, you don’t have to apologize for anything. Toran was right about me.” She looked down and sighed, “I am ugly and fat. I’m just sorry that….”

Before she could finish speaking Sesshomaru grabbed her by the chin forcing her to look directly in his eyes, that surprised her so much that she dropped the basket and placed her hands upon his chest. “Stop it!” He barked, “ I ever never want to hear you belittle yourself again. I don’t know why you think that you’re not beautiful, but…”

He was about to say more, but those innocent eyes of hers was too much for him to take. ‘Why do I care about her.’ He thought. But as much as he couldn’t understand he’s new found feelings, he couldn’t deny them either. In a short period of time, he had fallen for the girl. His hand released her chin and slowly started to caress her right cheek, and he slowly brought his face closer to hers.

He hesitated slightly, memories of the last time he tried to kiss her halted his movement. But, what she did next gave him the encouragement to continue. She had put her hands around his neck, their were quivering a great deal but she made no attempt of pulling them away.

Seeing how nervous she was, he decide that a quick friendly kiss would be the best choice. But the moment his lips touch hers, all thoughts of just a simple kiss flew out of his mind. She had the softest lips that he ever experience, plus they tasted just like butter pecan ice cream…flavorful and delicious. He just couldn’t it enough, he wanted to explore every facet of her mouth.

Rin didn’t know what possessed her to be bold enough to put her hands around his neck.

Maybe it was the way his eyes looked into hers, or maybe it was the way he sounded when he told her to be more confident about herself. Whatever it was, she knew she wanted to be closer to him and that there was no turning back.

She only hope that he would find her too naive due to her lack of experience. ‘Remember close your eyes…close your eyes.’ She chanted to herself, but the moment their lips met she became completely forgot what she was thinking about. ‘Wow!! So this is what kissing should feel like. His lips are so smooth and firm.’

Sesshomaru was about to pulled her closer to his body and deeper the kiss when the unthinkable happen.

RING!!

RING!!

Rin’s cell phone started ringing. Sesshomaru’s eyes flew open and he released his hold on her. Never in his life had he wished more that all cell phones be destroyed. When he looked down he couldn’t believe it , Rin still had her eyes closed and her mouth slightly opened.

“Rin, I think you should answer your phone.”

Her eyes opened lazily as if she was coming out of a trance.

“Huh?”

He couldn’t keep smirk this time feeling a sort of male pride, then he pushed back a stray hair that fall on her face, “Rin, you phone is ringing.”

Rin stumble back and brought her hand up to her mouth trying to conceal the rapid blush that was creeping on her face. “Ah…sorry Sesshomaru.” She nervously reply, as she fumble for the phone in her jacket pocket. “I’ll just be a second…okay.”

“That’s fine Rin. But, I think we should talk afterward.” He smirked naughtily, and caressed her cheek.

“GULP!…” She sounded loudly, “O-okay.”

She scooted past him and walked into the living room. ‘Who could this possibly be.’ She thought not recognizing the number on the display, “Hello”

“Hello Rin.” a cool voice reply on the other end.

“Naraku.” She said quietly.

“What wrong Rin? Why are you whispering?”

“Oh …” She looked around to make sure Sesshomaru wasn’t near her, “ for no reason. I just wasn’t expecting you to call me this early. It’s only been a day and I’m still not feeling that well.”

“Well, the situation has changed.” He said sternly, “I need you to come to my home right now.”

“But, I can’t Naraku. I was going….”

“Rin …” He interrupted, “ I have someone important for you to meet. And he’s very excited to see you.”

“ Who is it?”

“Well, I can’t tell you over the phone. You just need to know that he will change your whole life.”

“But, I really can’t come right now. I in the middle of…”

“Rin, do you or do you not want to be a singing star? Sometime you have to make sacrifices for what you really want.”

Rin wasn’t sure what to do or say. She was very curious to know who Naraku wanted her to meet. But at the same time she needed to discover what was happening between her and Sesshomaru. It wasn’t until Naraku’s next words did she quickly make up her mind.

“Rin, I’m driving on your side of town right now. I’ll should be at your apartment in twenty minutes. We‘ll talk about it more than.”

“NO!…” She yelled, that’s was the last thing she wanted him do. She would just have to go see him, and leave Sesshomaru behind for right now. “please don’t go there. I’m not at home right now. I’m ah…ah…I’m out shopping, yeah. I’ll meet you at your house by noon. Okay?”

If she could have only see the look on his face, she would have known things were not okay, but he answered, “ Fine. I’ll be waiting. Don’t be late Rin. Goodbye.”

“Bye.” She closed her phone. “I guess I need to go tell Sesshomaru I’m going to Naraku‘s house instead of the beach.” she muttered out loud.

“You’re going to Naraku.” a cold baritone voice reply.

She turned around to see a pair of narrow cold amber eyes, the very same eyes that were so warm and comforting a little while ago.

“Sesshomaru…”

“Answer me Rin. Did you say that you’re going to Naraku‘s house?”

“Yes, I need to see him right now. I was about to go tell…”

She didn‘t get the chance to finish before he said, “ Do as you wish.” He gave her one last glance, then walked away from her.

“Sesshomaru what is wrong?”

He didn’t answer her or turn around, he just kept walking toward the stairs until he disappear up them

“What did I do wrong?” She wondered as she started to bite her nails.

--------------------Later at Naraku’s house-------------------------

“Rin, you never know how happy I am to have you here.” Naraku’s sneered, as he looked at Rin like a kid in a candy store.

‘Maybe we should have met at the club or somewhere else public.’ Rin thought, as the strange feeling she had before started to creep over her body. “ Naraku, w-who did you want me to m-meet? I-I really to get back to my house, I have things to do there.” She stuttered out.

Naraku grabbed her arms harshly and pulled her toughly against his body. What’s when she saw it, the cruelty, the hatred, and insanity that shine so brightly in Naraku’s eyes that day back at the clothing store, it was back. “What things could a person like you possibly had to do!” He viciously snapped , “Is fucking that asshole Sesshomaru on the top of your list.”

Her eyes flew open, and she started struggled against him, “LET GO OF ME NARAKU!!! LET GO OF ME!!!!!” She screamed.

“I don’t think so. I told you I had someone for you to meet, and meet him you will.”

He dragged her screaming and kicking into his den, and inside there stood a man . A man who was about to change Rin’s life forever.

“Rin, I want to introduce to….”
