InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Not my Fiancé ❯ Not my Last Dance ( Chapter 4 )

  Chapter 4 Revision Completed

“You came all the way back from the states to see this wedding?” Rin asked Kohaku at the reception. She had been planning to go home at have a waterworks and booze party but she figured that for Kohaku she could postpone it for an hour, hour and a half tops.

“Yeah, but that was because my information was incorrect.” He said, as they swirled across the dance floor. He playfully dipped Rin who for the first time that day actually laughed at his playful antics.

“Oh really… what information are you talking about?” Rin said giving him a warm smile.

“I heard that Sesshoumaru was getting married, jumped to conclusions and thought he had finally gotten the guts to ask you.” Kohaku replied truthfully with a small shrug.

Rin frowned slightly but then looked up at him. “And, you came all the way here to congratulate me? Sorry for a waste of a trip…”

“No, it's okay and basically I was going to yell at you for not telling me yourself that you were getting married. But I got here yesterday and Miroku told me that the bride wasn't you and that Sesshoumaru had lost his mind and got engaged to a gold digger.” Kohaku said as he raised an eyebrow waiting for Rin's reaction.

There was a small silence between them before Rin spoke. “Houshi-sama believes that too?” Rin asked slowly. Kohaku nodded at her. “Then why didn't anyone stand because no one seems to be holding their peace.”

“Maybe they were waiting to see if that one person that knew him inside out objected to it all…”

“It didn't matter in the end what I thought or not, I told him everything and he denied me. I kissed him and then felt like I had done some awful sin. I loved him and he pushed me away...” Rin said with a sigh as a slow song came on.

Kohaku gave her surprised look. Everyone he had spoken to was under the belief that Rin hadn't told Sesshoumaru anything, seems they should have asked the source. He just didn't know how to comfort her but that didn't stop him from trying. “Rin I…” Kohaku started.

“Really Koko-kun, it's okay. I've learned to deal with it, now everyone else needs to learn too.” Rin said with a sad smile. “How are Kirara and Shippo, they are staying with you in Virginia right?” Rin asked quickly changing the subject before she was forced to have that party we discussed earlier in the middle of the dance floor.

“Oh they're fine, they couldn't make it though because Shippo was sick and Kirara wasn't going to leave him there alone with the babysitter but they sent you a gift that should be arriving to your house in a few days.” Kohaku explained.

“That's so sweet of them…” Rin said with a smile envisioning their happy faces.

Kirara and Shippo were two kids that were technically under Kohaku's care. He could be described as their foster father. Both of their parents had basically thrown themselves into work and failed to indulge their kids. After many nights of literally living in Kohaku's apartment while he went to college both sets of families handed over the papers to Kohaku and made him the legal guardian.

“So how's Yura?” Rin asked with a sly grin.

Kohaku's face flushed a bright red. “S-she o-okay…” Kohaku stuttered out, he took a deep gulp as Rin smirk at him.

“How long will it be until you tie the knot and I'm rushing to the states?” Rin asked as her eyes flashed mischievously.

Yura had been Kohaku's steady girlfriend through out his high school career and through college. She stood tall with him while he received guardianship over Shippo and Kirara. She also stood in as a mother for them. Rin knew it was only a matter of guts to when the two would get hitched. But in her mind she saw Yura proposing because of Kohaku's stuttering problem when it came to her. She could see it now, Yura playing in Kohaku's hair as he slipped a ring on her finger. The girl had a weird hair fetish.

“I-I d-don't k-know…” Kohaku responded as his face turned an even brighter red if it were possible.

Rin playfully rubbed her nose against his. “You're so cute when you're embarrassed…”

“May I butt in?” Inutashio asked.

“Of course sir…” Kohaku moved out the way and bowed moving toward his plump sister as Inutashio took Rin's hand and they began a waltz across the floor.

“So what did you think about the ceremony?”

“It was beautiful chichiue maybe a little over the edge…”

“Hum, now why would you say that?”

“The doves with the ribbons that flew into the raptors and pooped in the middle rows might have been over doing it…” Rin responded. “Kagura's idea?” Inutashio nodded and almost rolled his eyes.

“What do you think about the bride?”

“She was beautiful too…” Rin muttered.

`Yeah, if you like stinky sluts who steal men and use their wedding dress as a chance to show of her five thousand dollar cleavage… Oh my god that was so mean. Bad Rin, no doggy biscuit!' She thought.

“You think she'll be good for him?”

“I never said that…” She replied quickly.

`And I never will…' Her conscience yelled defiantly.

`Oh do shut up…' Rin sighed inside her brain.

`You know what she's not even a slut; sluts deserve more respect than that to be grouped with that woman. She's a hoe, not a whore a hoe, a used garden tool that screws...' Her conscience said beginning a small rant.

`Oh please we didn't do anything so you don't have the right. So like I said, shut up or no booze.' Rin her told slightly annoying conscience.

“So you don't think he should have married her…”

“Chichiue I didn't say that either…” Rin said quickly to Inutashio.

`You're not going to twist my words out this time.' Rin thought.

The tall jolly man was always finding a way to turn others words around until they accidentally told the truth. When he had first met her he had insisted that she call him father. And though it seemed odd at first she caught on quite quickly, and really couldn't stop calling him that.

Rin pouted slightly and he smiled. “Now Rin, don't get frustrated over little old me. You're a good girl and everyone knows it. I was just wondering what your whole uptake on this situation was…”

“I… I really don't know anymore. I thought I was happy for him, I really did. And you know I'm no green eyed monster but I keep getting this feeling.”

“So you're jealous…”

“No not really, because I know I can't change this, it's more like I regret not saying something to him sooner about what I thought about them, you know…” Rin replied picking her words carefully. She still couldn't let Inutashio get the best of her.

“Then here's another chance…” And before Rin knew what was happening Inutashio was dancing with Kagura and Sesshoumaru had been pushed toward her.

“Rin…”

“I gotta go, thanks for inviting me…” Rin said trying her best to avoid making eye contact with him. Wounds that hadn't ever begun to heal were being scratched at and dirt and salt began to seek into them as she looked at him.

“We need to talk Rin.”

“Correction you need to get back to your wife.” She said her voice icy even though she didn't want it to sound that way. “I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out that way…” Rin muttered. “Listen I have to go. I have work in the morning and other stuff…”

“Fine then, all I ask is one dance.”

“I umm…”

 

My last dance

Was accompanied by a symphony of regret

With violins hinting of what once was love

And the song played was the sweetest thing

In which sound waves have rung

How could such a thing as this

Bring such peace to a lonely heart

And many think this might be the end

But my last dance was the start

Of a wild blaze that is now a spark

And if I deny the Lord of the Dance

And my partner too

I wonder if the world will glance

At my new black dancing shoes

 

Will Rin accept Sesshoumaru's offer to dance? Where did Kohaku go? Will Miroku ever enter my story? You'll have to wait to find out…

 

Newer Comments: Okay that's the new and hopefully improved chapter 4. I'm obsessed with neopets (dot) com. It's cool and on the off chance any of you are on there look me up I'm Aphrodite819. Umm… kinda short but still longer than it was so buzz off. I was supposed to go to the movies well not really; I wanted to go to the movies 5 minutes before I left to go to my dad's house… Oh well… I think I have a crush on this guy at my school and it's really freaking me out because I had a dream I kissed him and now I'm all confused. But that is enough about me (for now) review. I really want to know if I'm revising this in vain or if the original was better. You guys know I like to hear from you. I was away all weekend so I figure if I finish that next chapter of LV before the Boondocks comes on I can have a happy life and people won't kill me. Also wanna know (for the people who read this before) Rin's job (dance teacher) more of it or less. It's only in one chapter and I was thinking about cutting it out. That or add some more chapters with it, need opinions not smart enough to think for myself… Oh well off to neopets. Remember to review, I love you guys bye.
