InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ Mr. Romance ( Chapter 42 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

AN: New chapter, yay.

Japanese Dreamer- Thank you! I hope this chapter doesn’t disappoint.

My Name is R.C- Thank you! I loved writing the guys reactions to that part. (I can’t wait to do Inuyasha and the other dwarfs hehe) And thank you for the idea about Kouga and Ayame’s relationship! I wasn’t going to write anything, but I’ll think you’ll enjoy what happens. Thanks for reviewing!

Cat- Eh, fairy tales always have one true loves in them, I figured Jakotsu deserved one. (Hehe.) And I’m sorry you were so shocked, I didn’t realize who he was till I looked him up. But it’s kinda funny Jakotsu can wrap a guy like that around his fingers right? I hope you enjoy this new chapter.

Whitetiger-Isabella- Thank you! I hope the plan doesn’t disappoint. (God knows it took me long enough to come up with...)

Kagome123- Thank you!

Orlandolover- Did I mention my beta didn’t edit that chapter? Sorry for missing those mistakes, I can’t use grammar if my life depended on it. Thanks for reviewing, hope you like the new chapter.

Mischievous-Angel- I really hope the plan is good, I really had no idea what it would be when I wrote that part. I have a really bad habit of doing that...(Blush) thanks for the review!

Extremely Important Note!
For those that have forgotten, the Book is something Kag found when still with Kikyo and looking around the palace’s library. She found a letter from Kaede warning her to trust her gut before anyone else, two papers attached to the flap part and a dot that sucked her back to her parent’s time. The cover is kinda thick and on the inside, a flap can be opened. On the flap side two papers are tied to it with black dots on them that you have no idea what their purpose is, and on the actual book part is the black dot that brings Kagome back to see her parents. You can go ahead and read the chapter now.



Kagome
Kaede didn’t even pretend to not know what I was talking about, as her face turned more solemn and she set her spoon down, lacing her fingers together across the table.

“Ye’ve found the Book, then have ye child?” she asked calmly as the room went completely silent.

I nodded, “Yes I found it in the library when I was still at the palace. I was able to bring it here with me.”

“There is very little I know about the Book.” she began to tell me, “I hope ye read the letter I enclosed in it?”

She paused while I nodded and continued on. “Soon after ye were born, Midoriko created this book for ye. She was afraid she might not be able to see ye grow up, and there were things she wanted ye to know about her life.”

I blinked, “So that’s why I see scenes from my parents life. She wanted me to know how she and Papa met.” I said, trying to swallow a lump down my throat. “But if she was worried about her life, why didn’t she take more precautions?” I asked.

“Kagome, ye mother was a powerful miko. When wasn’t her life in danger?” she asked wisely.

I nodded, “Well, that makes sense.” I admitted, “But I don’t understand the extra paper. Why would Mother give me blank paper instead of a hand written letter, or a message, or something.” I said, frustrated.

Kaede just looked at me, “As I remember Kagome, there are two circles on the papers.” she reminded me gently.

Somehow I resisted the urge to scream ‘I don’t want papers with circles on them, I want my mother!’ and got up, “Well thank you, Kaede, but I really need to clean the table up.” I said, forcing myself to sounds cheerful when I really wanted to cry that my mother chose her job over me.

“Why don’t you just go to bed Kag, me and Kouga can take care of it.” Ayame offered, sounding worried.
“Hey! When did I volunteer myself to clean up duty?” Kouga asked, sounding offended.

Ayame glared at him, and Kouga’s yelp echoed through the dining room when her foot connected with his leg under the table.“...you go ahead Kag.” he said weakly.

I smiled gratefully at them, “Thanks guys.” I said, and escaped to my room.


Rin

Rin slowly woke up, her eyes lighting on the city outside the window.
She absently watched people roaming around the streets, seeing this and that and running different errands. She felt her hand enclosed in something warm and strong, and smiled sleepily as she turned towards it, stretching her body so she was comfortable in her new position. She cuddled the hard warmness under her chin, sighing happily.

“Ah Rin? You wanna get up anytime soon?” Jakotsu asked her, sounding amused.

Rin’s eyes popped open to see her men staring down at her in curiosity, the view of their legs blocked by Sesshomaru sitting next to her and allowing her to snuggle with his hand under her cheek calmly.

She shrieked and almost jumped up, letting go of Sesshomaru’s hand as if it burned her while she sent her blanket flying over his head.

“What are you doing in here?” she stammered, embarrassed to be caught clutching at Sesshomaru’s hand like a stuffed toy. She snatched the blanket off of Sess and wrapped it around herself, trying as hard as she could to fight the blush blowing up in her cheeks.

“It’s almost ten Rin, you’ve been sleeping for hours.” Jakotsu told her cheerfully. She half heartily glared at them as she made her way around to the privacy screen where her clothes waited.

“And you couldn’t have woken me up sooner?” she mumbled, pulling off her sleeping garment.

She could almost see the honest look Jakotsu was fixing on his face.
“We just assume you were to tired from last night to wake so early.”Rin gritted her teeth at the seemingly innocent remark. The problem with Jakotsu was that he could say the most neural thing in the world and it could still be taken as a insult. What he just said could be taken as her staying up late last night from their meeting and needing extra rest or it could be seen as her having wild monkey sex with Sesshomaru till morning.

She sighed. She really wished he would teach her to do that.

“Has Oda made up that list on the different generals yet Jakotsu?” she asked, deciding to ignore his response. It was to early to play word games with him.

“Not yet but he promised he would have it by this afternoon.” Jakotsu told her through the screen.

“And you guys remember what you’re supposed to be doing right? You aren’t going to sneak into some dark alley and make out all day?” Rin asked suspiciously.

“Of course we’ll do what we’re supposed to Boss, we can make out when ever we want, how many times come when we get to spend other people’s money on make up and clothes?” Jakotsu asked brightly.

Rin finished the knot on her obi, and started slipping on her weapons.

“Alright. Do you other three remember what you’re doing?”

“I am finding out information about Seikai.” Renkotsu said promptly.

“I am investigating the army doctors and sick soldiers.” Suikotsu remembered.

Rin nodded, even though no one could see her. “Right. I’m still glad you thought of swaying the healers to our side last night Suikotsu.” Rin told
him proudly.

Bankotsu sighed. “I’m lugging the dirt around.” he said glumly. Rin grinned as she shook out her braid and stepped out from the screen, silently laughing at the pout on his face

“Ah cheer up Bank, you get to do the fun part tonight, so you have to do the boring part today.” Rin reminded him.

Rin almost jumped when Sess moved suddenly behind her and gathered her long hair in one clawed hand. “And I will be with you.” he said, tying a ribbon around her hair to keep it at the base of her neck.

Rin swallowed but forced herself to step forward once he was done.

“Whatever you want.” she said nonchalantly. “I still want to get someone in the palace just to learn the layout, so I’ll be looking around to see if there are any jobs open. We’ll all meet back here at around six for one last meeting and preparations before we move out. Agree?” she asked and the others nodded.

“Good, I’ll see you later then.” she said, and with one last glance at Sesshomaru, her men cleared out of the room.

She frowned, noticing the lack of tension and distrust between her men and Sesshomaru but decided to worry about it later. She avoided looking at Sess and instead headed for the door without looking back.

“Well if you’re going to follow me, we better get a move on.” she said as cheerfully as she could, still confused about last night.

She stopped when his hand curled around her upper arm gently, stilling her.

“Here.” he said from behind her, extending his arm around her waist to hand her something wrapped in paper.

Curiously she took the package and ripped open the strings. It wasn’t her birthday and she didn’t know of any holiday today. What would this be for?

She gasped when the paper cleared away. “Sess, it’s too much!” she protested, even as her finger ran lovingly down the fine chain.

It had been the jade pendant she admired in the shop window yesterday. It was a thick, green crescent moon with a intricate purple dragon curling around the shape and resting on the curve. It hung from a long silver chain that looked like it could be adjusted to fall all the way down to the middle of her breasts, or lay against her throat.

She shook her head, forcing herself to be strong. “It’s gorgeous, Sess, but it’s to expensive and fine for me. I haven’t even done anything to deserve it.” she protested again.

“You do not have to deserve it, your only requirement is to accept it graciously from your suitor and wait eagerly for the next one.” he told her calmly.

She nearly dropped it, “Suitor?” she squeaked.

He took it from her and draped it over her neck, admiring the way her chest made a nice frame for the piece before slipping it inside her kimono.

She shivered when his knuckles brushed her skin, yelling at herself for being so responsive to something as simple as the mere touch of his fingers.

“Suitor.” he repeated, the faintest trace of amusement sounded in his voice.

“Come, we should not waste time.” he told her briskly, placing a hand on her lower back and guided her to the door.

“But wait, I didn’t say you could court me-“

”You did not have to. We agreed you would not have to give me a answer so soon, yes? This was a matter that did not require acceptance.” He interrupted her as he opened the door. “Be silent now, we do not want the other guests here to think we are not married.” he warned her as they went down the steps.

Rin gritted her teeth but sighed, allowing him to end the discussion.

But only for now, once they were alone again she would be giving him a huge piece of her mind.

Kagome


The sun woke me up the next morning, I had forgotten to draw the curtains and it shone across my bed, hitting me directly in the face. I rubbed my tear-stained cheeks, already feeling stupid.

So my mom chose to be a miko instead of a full-time mom. Poor me. She saved who knows how many people; I can’t believe I’m so selfish that I would have let them die just so she could spend more time with me.

And I should be glad I got anything from my mother, and not whine about only getting those strange papers.

Remembering about the book, I sat up and searched around under my mattress, pulling it out when my fingers found its hard spine. Used to this by now, I flipped open the thin section and saw the two dotted papers, tied to the back with black ribbon.

I slowly untied the ribbon, letting the papers fall in to my lap. I straightened them up and carefully, pressed my finger in the middle of one of the black dots and waited.

...nothing happened.

I looked down at the papers in disgust. That’s all they did? After what I had been through with the book, I had been expecting something bigger.

I wanted to crumble the paper into balls and throw it away, but I resisted the urge and tied them back in place.

Suddenly that urging hit me and I looked down at the dot embedded into the cover and sighed.

Might as well get this over with before the other dwarf’s needed breakfast.

This time, when I touched the dot, the vortex opened up and sucked me in.


The Vortex

I landed in my palace’s Great Hall where it looked like a celebration was about to take place. People dressed in their best were walking around, drinking or nibbling refreshments, laughing and talking with each other happily as they waited for the event to start.

I looked around for my parents, wondering where they were during all this and I felt like someone had punched me in the gut when I saw them and realized what this must be.

It was their wedding day.

Mama looked more beautiful then a goddess as she walked down the hall with Papa, holding his hand as she beamed up at him. She wore the traditional white kimono, the only change was her sword hanging on her hip and the absence of a white hood. I snickered, knowing Dad was wise not to expect her to obey him unless she wanted to.

The crowd grew silent, watching the couple walk past them and to the alter, smiles lighting even the sourest face.

Speaking of sour faces...I nearly jumped at the barrier when I saw a young Kikyo almost next to me, standing next to a regal looking man and woman I didn’t recognize. I had to force myself to stand still, that this wasn’t the Kikyo I knew and I couldn’t hurt her no matter how hard I tried. While my parents positioned themselves, I studied Kikyo carefully.

She looked about seventeen years old, and smiled sweetly, looking like she was so happy to be here at my parents wedding. It was only after years of servings her that I noticed that hard look to her face that meant she wanted to hurt someone.
I made myself turn away from her, not wanting to focus on her when the greatest day in my parent’s life’s was happening right in front of me.

A old monk waited for my parents, looking as if he was thrilled to bind this happy couple together.

"Before we begin the ceremony today, is there a person who believes these two should not be married?" the priest asked the crowd.

My mother and father slightly turned their heads at the crowd, daring them to try and protest. A few nervous coughs sounded through the hall, but otherwise no one made a sound.

The monk broke out into a even happier smile. "Very good, we shall begin then. King Nobunaga, please take Lady Midoriko's hand- oh I see you've already done that. Then repeat after me. I marry this woman."

Papa smiled tenderly smiled down at Mother, "I marry this woman."

“No matter what the health situation is.”

Papa and Mother grinned at each other, knowing exactly what type of health situations would happen to her. “No matter what the health situation is.”

"I will love her."

"I will love her." Father swore fiercely.

“Respect her.”

“Respect her.”

“Console her.”

“Console her.”

“Help her.”

Father grinned again, “Help her when she'll let me.”

“Stay true to only her.”

Mother turned slightly red when Father got that look in his eye,

“Stay true to only her.” he purred.

“I take Midoriko as my wife until I die.”

“I take Midoriko as my wife until I die." He said, loudly enough it seemed the whole world could hear it.

"This I swear."

"This I swear."

Midoriko repeated the vows, never leaving his eyes.

"You may kiss the bride." The priest announced triumphantly and Father pulled her into his arms and immediately took her mouth with his to the cheers of the audience.

"I announce King Nobunaga and Queen Midoriko, husband and wife!" The monk finished happily.

I swallowed, feeling tears fall down my cheeks. I was so happy to be able to watch this moment...

I cried harder when I felt the pull of the vortex taking me back, wishing I could watch my parents in their happiest moment even longer, when they still held so much hope for the future and had no idea of the troubles that would be starting in a few short years.

Kouga

Kouga yawned as he slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes to help him feel more awake. There was so much to do today, annoy Kagome into making a Kikyo shaped pancake so he could bite off her head, do some mining, and start Kag on using a sword in her left hand. She probably wouldn't be very skilled by the time they had to fight, but it was important she knew a little bit of everything.

He frowned when he finally noticed something like a weight on the corner of his mattress, causing it to slump down. If Shippo had pulled that damn 'statue on top of blankets so Kouga can't crawl out' prank of his again, Kagome would be making fox stew for dinner tonight...

Wearily he lifted his head and shrieked at the sight that greeted his eyes.

"Ayame!" he yelped, jumping up in bed, "What are you doing?"

Ayame looked at him from where she sat cross-legged on the corner of his bed, chin propped up by her fist. "I wanted to talk to you." she said seriously.

He swallowed, somehow more scared with her attitude now then whenever she had been intent on seducing him. "What did you want?" he asked cautiously, wondering what was going through that pretty head of hers.

She looked him straight in the eyes, "What's wrong with me?" she asked dead on.

Kouga blinked, surprised by her blunt tone. "What?" he asked, feeling confused.

"What's wrong with me?" she asked calmly, "What's so horrible about me that you won't even consider a chance with me?"

Kouga continued to stare, "Huh?"

Ayame bit her lip, "Is it my hair? I know red isn't a common color, or is something wrong with my body? I hope it isn't my personality; I've been trying so hard not to act like a brat. Or am I to violent? I know that's something you must not want in a mate."

Kouga started to blink, wondering where this conversation was going.

"No, nothings wrong with you Ayame, you're perfect the way you are."

Ayame's lips settled in a thin line and she pushed herself to her knees, poking a finger in his chest, "Then what is so terrible about the thought of being with me? You’re ashamed even to touch me, whenever I kiss you and the other's find out, you won't meet my eyes for days, and you avoid me!" she said, sounding frustrated.

Kouga was totally at a lose for what to say. "Ayame, it's isn't about you, it's me." he finally forced out, wanting to cringe when the words left his mouth.

Ayame fell back, her eyes narrowing, "Oh it's you is it?" she asked sweetly and Kouga felt dread drip down his spine at her tone. She got off his bed, smoothing down her fur skirt."Then I suppose you better fix whatever that problem is before you come sniffing around me again."

Kouga jerked, not sure what she was doing. "I don't understand." he admitted reluctantly.

"It's very simple Kouga. I am no longer going to chase after you. Remember that oath you swore to me when you found me? 'I promise I'll take care of you forever'? I release you from it, you can do whatever the hell you want now. You can go off and join a traveling theater group, and I won't even blink. But listen to me Kouga." she leaned over, and held his chin up with a finger, making sure he was paying attention to her every word. "If you realize suddenly how stupid you've been and want me back, I'll consider giving you a chance. But after this whole business is over with Kikyo, I won't be waiting around for you to reappear in my life. And if you decide you want Jakotsu, that's fine to. Just know, if you ever wanted something with me, you better go for it soon." and with that, she dropped his chin and stalked out of his room, head held high.

Kouga stared out after her, completely slack jawed, knowing that the ball was in his court now and he had no idea what he was going to do.

Rin

“Will you hold still you big baby?” Jakotsu snapped at Bankotsu as he tried to smooth black smudges under his eyes.

Bankotsu scowled back, “Shut up!.” he snapped. “This isn’t exactly comfortable you know.” he said jerking his head towards Oda who was currently measuring the length of his arms.

Oda rolled his eyes, “If you wouldn’t flinch every time I got near you this would be a lot faster! How many times do I have to tell you aren’t my type?” Oda grumbled.

“He means me.” Jakotsu added helpfully.

Rin hid her grin behind her hand, trying not to laugh at Bankotsu. But it was so hard not to, watching the man get scared when Jakotsu and Oda cornered him with jars of make up and yards of fabric.

Oda and Jakotsu had a little to much fun spending the groups money.

“If you would all shut up and listen to me while I get through this.” Renkotsu said, sounding annoyed. “As I was saying, according to my research,

Seikai is very superstitious and firmly believes in sprits and other such things. This will work to our advantage if Bankotsu does not screw up and makes himself a convincing ghost.”

He scowled again, “Hey! Of course I can be a good ghost! You just wait Renko.” he swore.

"A man named Kao reportedly swore revenge right before Seikai ran him through with his sword." Renkotsu reported, thankfully ignoring Bankotsu. "For whatever reason, soldiers noticed him looking very nervous that night." Renkotsu informed them.

"Yeah, that's great Renkotsu, but we have no idea what his guy looks like. The guy's a moron, but he might notice the ghost who's haunting him doesn't look like the guy he killed." Bankotsu pointed out.

"He was wearing a helmet when he was killed." Renkotsu replied back calmly. "Seikai never saw his face."

Jakotsu beamed, "And that's why I bought one of those cute war helmets!" he announced proudly and suddenly started to pout, "But then Renkotsu put dents in it and made it look ugly." he said glumly, sending a look to Oda.

Oda sighed, focused on keeping Bankotsu quiet and still without knocking him out. "I'll buy you another one honey." he said distracted, writing a number down.

Jakotsu beamed happily and went back to smearing green paint over Bankotsu's neck.

Rin grinned briefly again before shutting out Bankotsu's frantic scream when Jakotsu went in with the lipstick, and went back over her day.

Something had seemed strange about the town's mood but she hadn't been able to put a finger on it. But now she knew, no one knew about Kikyo's death.
When she causally mentioned it this morning, all she received were blank and confused stares. For whatever reason, Naraku had told no one about the dead queen. She couldn't figure out why though, maybe he wanted to rule in her place? She would have to talk to the others later about it, they didn't have time to focus on it tonight.

The only job open at the palace was for a maid, and she had considered briefly sending in Jakotsu in dressed as a woman but thought someone might be able to place him anyway. No matter what her men said, she was really the only one safe from getting caught, since she hadn't been seen since she was a child. She seriously doubted Naraku spent a lot of time with his servants, so it wasn't likely he would notice her either. And they desperately needed the palace's blue prints.

She just hoped her men wouldn't be too worried when she told them she already accepted the position.

"Is something wrong?" Sesshomaru's soft voice broke through her thoughts, and she snapped back, suddenly acutely aware she had been rubbing the pendent while thinking.

She groaned internally, knowing Sesshomaru would be furious when he found out what she had done. But it wasn't like he needed to find out anytime soon, right?

With a quick glance around the room, she slid the necklace back into her kimono, glad no one had seen her. "I'm fine." she mumbled back to Sesshomaru.

He studied her a moment longer, before turning his attention back to Bankotsu's plea's for mercy.

Jakotsu smoothed out some of the powder covering Bankotsu's face, looking for any flaws before nodding in satisfaction. "Alright Oday pie, he's all yours."

Oda smiled evilly, almost looking like he was going to break out into maniacal laughter any minute. "C'mon ghost boy, let's go play dress-up." he purred, pulling on Bankotsu's arm to a screened off section of the room.

Bankotsu send a terrified glare Rin's way, who only received a cheerful wave for his pain before disappearing behind the curtain.

Rin glanced out the window, noticing the rapidly fading sun. "Hey Renkotsu, want to grab Suikotsu and set everything up before the sun sets? We'll meet you there when Oda's done. Jakotsu go with them, you'll be fine without Oda for a while." Rin ordered them. Jakotsu pouted, but followed Renkotsu and Suikotsu out the door.

Rin sighed and slumped against the wall, feeling a knot forming in her shoulder. She could rest for a little while. Oda would probably take his time with Bankotsu's clothes, even without Jakotsu near by.

She felt a large warm body slid in close next to her and could have cursed.

In getting rid of her men, she left herself conveniently alone with Sesshomaru.

"You know, I think I'll go see how Bankotsu is doing, the poor guy looked pretty scared." Rin told Sesshomaru, taking a step forward before being stopped by his hand wrapping itself around her arm.

Again.

She really needed to have a talk with him about this...

"You can not tell me you do not enjoy his terror." Sesshomaru told her bluntly, pulling her close and rubbing her tense shoulder. She sighed and let her head fall forward when he found her knot and began easing the pressure.

"What are you so frightened of Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, as normally as if he was asking her the time.

Rin straightened. "Frightened?" she repeated, disbelieving.

"Frightened." he repeated calmly, not letting up his touch so she couldn't think clearly. "You like my attention and my affection, but you still are so...skittish." Sesshomaru remarked, almost sounding puzzled.

Rin blinked, thinking she knew what he was getting at. "It really isn't you Sess, oh yeah right there." she moaned. "But it isn't quite me either if that makes any sense. I'm just...not ready to marry or mate." she was trying to explain.

Sesshomaru paused, "Explain." he ordered.

Rin sighed, half in pleasure and half in dread, "I've been hidden away for so long Sess, I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about the world, or what it looks like. I don't know anything about Japan for that matter." she said, trying to be more specific in her answer.

Sesshomaru thought for a moment, finally having eased one knot and moved on to one she hadn't known she had. "You fear being tied down to soon." he said slowly, and Rin sensed he was really trying to understand her.

Rin nodded, "Yes, I need more time. And I don't want to get attached to something I can't have. Oh Kami, you have great hands." she breathed.

Sesshomaru frowned. "Something you can't have?" he repeated.

Rin snorted, "I doubt you're going to wait for me, you need a mate. I thought that was the reason for your bride campaign, or whatever you called it." she reminded him, arching into his touch.

Sesshomau blinked, suddenly remembering his search for a mate was what had brought him, Inuyasha and Miroku to Kikyo's doorstep and in the middle of this war in the first place. Funny how it had brought him here with Rin.

"Rin." he said, leaning close to her, his hands finally stilling in her shoulders. "I am more then willing to wait for you." he murmured against her hair.

Rin blinked and turned around to face him, "But why?" she whispered. "I don't understand."

Sesshomaru tilted his head to the side. "I do not understand either." He admitted. "I just know I want you, and I do not deny myself." he said firmly.

Rin rolled her eyes, "Aren't you Mr. Romance." she said, half ticked off and half flattered he wanted her.

Sesshomaru started lowering his head to hers, "I find truth much more arousing then romance." he murmured, watching as Rin's eye's fluttered closed and gently slipped his lips over hers.

He pulled away first, recognizing her need for oxygen before she did. He gently stroked her long tail of hair while they stared at each other, not sure if they wanted to shatter the moment with words.

"Sesshomaru." Rin said, wanting more of his lips, "I think I could fall for
you." she said truthfully, pulling his head back down to hers.

Sesshomaru growled slightly in acknowledgment before taking her mouth again, rougher this time, trying to imprint his claim on her soft lips.

"Do you want to come with me?" Rin asked suddenly, breaking away from his lips.

"After this whole business with Naraku is over with? I know you won't be able to get away much, but when you can, would you?" She asked nervously, hardly believing the words were coming out of her mouth.

Sesshomaru looked down at her and opened his mouth-

"Rin I seriously want to kill Oda right now, Jakotsu be damned." Bankotsu whined from behind the curtain.

"How were you ever the lieutenant of anything, much less a rebel movement? You're such a wimp." Oda complained right back, trying to push him out of the curtain. "Move it!" he ordered.

"Not until you get these freakin' feathers off my head!" Bankotsu shouted back.

"I told you before, the feather's are staying!"

"No they aren't!"

"Yes. They. Are."

Rin sighed and Sesshomaru desperately wanted to punch the wall. She stepped away from him, and he forced himself to let her, knowing this wasn't the time or place for such a conversation.

"Bankotsu! If you rather have those feathers on your head and instead of other places I will not mention, get out here now!" Rin ordered.

"But Rinnnn." Bankotsu whined like a spoiled brat.

Sesshomaru didn't bother with threats, he stalked towards the curtain intend on dragging Bankotsu to the meeting point himself if it meant he could tell Rin his answer sooner.

AN: Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I will NOT be able to update from the 20th to the 29th. Sorry about the wait, but I’m going to Europe and don’t feel guilty at all about leaving you guys hanging!)
