Brand NewChapter 14 Completed

“Shut… up… Shut up. Shut up!” Rin screamed as she jumped up and down and hugged Kagome so tightly that she was left winded. “Russia?” Rin stopped hoping she heard correctly.

“Russia!” Kagome forced out as she stood still slightly winded.

“Kaede, guess what!” Rin screamed as she flung herself out of her room and into the studio.

“Kagome's pregnant with a miniature Inu Yasha?” Kaede asked just wanting to ride on Kagome's nerves. It worked because Kagome began to seethe behind Rin even though Rin just ignored her.

“I don't think so…” Rin said getting side tracked for a moment. “But we can ask Inu Yasha about it later. But I'll just tell you because your first guess was wrong…” Rin closed her eyes took a deep breath and yelled. “The Imperial Russian Ballet Company has asked me to join them for their upcoming performances for the month of July!”

“Oh my god… Oh my god. Oh my god!” Kaede said having basically the same reaction as Rin except now Rin was being smothered. “This is big! This is huge! Oh my friggin' kami-sama! That's like the most famous ballet company ever!”

“I know it's completely awesome!” Rin said happily. “But there so much to do… Get a substitute, a passport, go shopping… Do I even have luggage? ! Who cares! I'm going to Russia!” Rin then commenced to doing the `I'm going to Russia' dance with Kaede which was not the best dance she had ever done.

“Okay but first things first, a substitute for two months.” Kaede said seriously.

“Rin I have a cousin who could sub for you…” Kagome waved out tauntingly.

“A cousin…” Rin started and then something clicked. “No way. There is no way in hell I'm letting…”

“Jakotsu!” Rin said giving the man/woman/person a quick hug. “Thanks for agreeing to this on such short notice.”

“No way in hell Rin?” Kagome muttered gaining a jab from the aforementioned Rin. Kagome skillfully flicked her off and tuned into the Jakotsu station, 100% fab-u-lous 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

“Rin-Rin… Anything for you dear… You know out of all the females in the world I can only stand you and Kaede.” Jakotsu said winking at a guy that was stretching behind Rin.

“Hey, what about me?” Kagome piped up.

“Darling, you're blood. There are laws against me liking you, that's all I'm saying.” Jakotsu said. “Oh have you met my baby?”

“They let you have a kid?” Kaede asked from her desk. She was busy rewriting Rin's classes since she had only found out an hour ago her employer would be gone for two months.

“Hell no, I can only deal with brats for 5 hours at a time. After that you people better come and get your damn kids… But anyway… Bankotsu!”

From outside a young man decked out in white appeared. He blushed furiously as Jakotsu wrapped his arms around his neck and examined his tonsils with his tongue. “Why is it that all of Jakotsu's boyfriends are hot as hell?” Rin asked scratching her head.

“Because of the law of fab-u-la-city, all guys classified as hot as hell or adorable are either gay and/or married.” Kagome stated matter-a-factly.

“Kagome, Kaede, Rin-Rin… This is my boy candy Ban-Ban the Man!” Jakotsu said enthusiastically.

“That is totally a chip n' dale name…” Rin muttered as she glanced down at her watch. “Wait, did you go to school with me or something… Because I have seen you somewhere before…” Rin said tapping her chin. “You wouldn't happen to be related to Sango…” Rin started.

“Of course she's my only first cousin… Tall girl, brown hair, kick ass attitude?” Bankotsu asked trying to make sure.

“Yep, that's Sango for you… So Ban-Ban the Man, I can't believe Jakotsu stuck you with that name…” Rin said nonchalantly.

“Yeah, it's like that time that I started calling Inu Yasha Gum Drop. And everyone thought he was a stripper…” Kagome said thoughtfully.

“Gum Drop?” Bankotsu asked.

“Yeah, I remember this one.” Kaede started. “Three years ago during a X-mas party Inu Yasha was taking a bath and chewing gum. So of course it falls out of his mouth but being the lazy bum he is, he just ignored it…” Kaede said looking up from her work.

“Oh… let me finish! Okay, so Inu Yasha gets up to dry off and what do you know, that gum is stuck in his pubic hairs. So he's on the like third floor and everyone but his mother is on the first. And he tells her to bring him a spoonful of peanut butter. Of course she wants to know why and she like comes down the stairs cracking up.” Rin said as she began to laugh really hard. So Kagome picked up the tale.

“But karma is an evil thing. The peanut butter doesn't work so he ends up having to shave off a patch of his pubic hair to remove the gum. So by now Izayoi has told everyone about `the incident' and we're all cracking up down stairs. And then here comes Inu Yasha. There is silence for all of three seconds and Rin here falls out her chair from lack of air for trying to hold back the laughter.”

“And that's why you call him Gum Drop?” Jakotsu asked.

“Yep, that's why we call him Gum Drop. Not to mention that every year someone buys him a carton of gum to put under the tree. Last year Inutaisho did it…”

“Oh that was so damn funny… But I have to go Jakotsu. I have a lot of shopping to do before I leave. Kaede will explain everything to you. And thanks again.” Rin said pecking him on the cheek.

“Yuck… Girl cooties…” Jakotsu said as a sour look spread across his face. Rin just smiled at him, tossed him the keys and made her way out of the studio.

As she made her way down the street she could have sworn she heard Jakotsu say, “I want a chip n' dale nickname too! How about Chocolate Thunder? !” Rin just giggled and continued on her way.

Rin sat on the bed and looked at everything she had brought. Lots of winter clothes… Russia was cold and winter clothes were cheap this time of year. Suitcases, she had brought a matching set of the things and was very proud of her self. A few phone cards lay scattered here and there. Hair supplies, girl supplies, people supplies… She had at least three pairs of Pointe shoes, four pair of jazz and tap shoes each, but she didn't know how much work she would get out of them, but it never hurt to be prepared.

Rin ripped her alarm clock from the wall and looked at the emptiness of her room. Well, she was packed and she had called back and everything was set for her to go. The flight was the next day and training started two days later. Now all she had to do was… call Sesshoumaru. He was due for his flight at 3 am… right? It was only midnight. She had plenty of time.

Rin got up and made her way toward her phone she picked it up and then placed it down again. Midnight, right? Right. Rin took a deep breath and made her way to her front door. She could also jog there and avoid this for a good thirty minutes, right? Right. Rin smirked as she picked up her keys and pranced into her front room. She pulled open the door only to come face to face with Sesshoumaru.

A look of complete shock crossed Rin's face and her jaw almost hit the ground. Had she not just been planning to build up the courage to go talk to him? Apparently, her mind was a little late on the uptake of things. Sesshoumaru smirked at her expression, drew is thumb across her lips and then pushed her mouth closed with his index finger.

“Can I come in?” Sesshoumaru asked as he tilted his head slightly to the side. Rin blinked twice and was seemingly pulled half way out of her trance. She stepped aside and allowed Sesshoumaru entrance into her apartment. She then closed the door and turned around.

Rin shook her head slightly and smiled up at Sesshoumaru. “You're going to live a very long time Sesshoumaru…”

Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her waist and quirked his eyebrow. “And why do you think that?”

“Because… I was just about to come and see you.” Rin said hugging him and burying her head into his chest.

“Really?” Sesshoumaru asked his other eyebrow raising.

“Um hum…” Rin smiled giddily at him and then pulled away and looked him straight in the eye. “I have something important to tell you.”

“Wait, let me guess, you know about the tickets Kagome got you to Disneyland: Tokyo?” Sesshoumaru asked.

“Oh really? !” Rin asked jumping up and down.

“No.” Sesshoumaru said lying but knowing that it was better than the wrath of Kagome.

“Oh… Well… I'm going to Russia!” Rin said replacing her frown with a huge smile.

“You're going to see one of the ballets?” Sesshoumaru asked slowly.

“No… I'm going to be in one of them!” Rin said happily as she jumped up and down and did her `I'm going to Russia' dance again.

Sesshoumaru stopped, blinked and then his brain began to overload. “Russia… In a ballet… Imperial Ballet…” Rin's dancing around him in circles answered his questions. Sesshoumaru grabbed Rin by the waist and twirled her around in the air. Then he brought her down into a passionate kiss.

“Now that was a congratulations…” Rin muttered as they pulled away.

“When?”

“Tomorrow, well actually today at 6 p.m.…”

“Go get dressed.” Sesshoumaru said immediately as he pulled out his cell phone and pushed Rin toward her bedroom.

“For what?” Rin asked as she began to search through the only clothing she deemed not necessary for Russia.

“We're going out to celebrate…”

“But Sesshoumaru, it's midnight. Nothing but WacDonalds is open right now.” Rin said stepping out of her room in an off the shoulder tank and a pair of jeans. “Is this okay?”

“Hum… Yeah it's fine…” Sesshoumaru said as he traced the outline of her neck. And then let his hand fall to his side.

“Where are going?” Rin asked looking at her watch and then at him.

“Downtown…”

“Nothing is open this time of night Sesshoumaru.” Rin said patiently.

“Never underestimate my power…” Sesshoumaru said with a devious grin.

“Oh god…” Rin muttered as Sesshoumaru dragged her out the door and into the night.

Lady Moonlight whispers on

Hiding evil until the dawn

That's why nightlights light the halls

Why the sun comes in the morning

 

Hark another day will you

To understand the secret two

Lovers meet in the forbidden night

And run away from the light

 

Lady Moonlight tires fast

Falls to the west

With a silver splash

Lovers must now break away

For anguish comes in the morning

 

Heed the warning I give to you

To be caught will start a feud

Lovers meet in the forbidden night

To be caught in the morning

I love Jakotsu. Actually I just love fabulous gay guys. Anyway… My favorite part of this chapter is the `Gumdrop Story' which I will refer to later. But this really happened to a friend of mine named Justin. Completely hilarious if you ask me… Hopefully no one will find out about this and tell him. He might be upset for a while. But Justin is completely fabulous too so oh well. Anyway I normally update on the weekends because of work and school and slave labor… So next the chapter will probably be out next week end. 8 new reviews please. Gotta go though. Take care people and I love you all!
