<Rin; 6 Coors later >
 
 
Rin stifled back a yawn, letting the glass that her fingers held onto ever so gently slip from her grasp and hit the floor with a metal resonation. She grimaced then laughed as Kagome and InuYasha nearly jumped, startled out of their make out session in the middle of the dance floor. Rin had pulled away from the grind session shortly after InuYasha managed to turn Kagome around to face him and proceeded to shove his tongue down her throat. Rin sat back for a moment then danced with a few other guys before returning to the couple that hadn't moved. She pushed her hand to her lips then laughed louder as Kagome slightly blushed then stooped over to grab the glass. InuYasha's eyes followed the girl's ass down then smiled and smacked her ass, laughing as she yelped. Kagome stumbled slightly before catching her balance and shot a scathing look towards InuYasha. Standing up and righting herself, she laughed slightly and handed Rin her glass before turning and thwaping the hanyou in the chest. Yelling over the music that was blasting from the stereo next to them, Rin shouted, “I'm going for a shot, you guys want?”
 
Kagome's brown eyes widened, slightly hazed over with her third drink, as she slowly nodded. “What do they have? What's being offered?” her words weren't slurred but it took an obvious moment for her to collect her thoughts.
 
Rin smiled and wrapped her arm around Kagome's shoulders and led her towards the makeshift bar. “I don't know…but we'll find out.”
 
A hand slammed down in front of the girls and they paused in step, Rin nearly toppling forward. She turned an angry glower towards the hanyou and sneered, “was that necessary?”
 
InuYasha leaned down to be closer to Rin and goaded, “look, wench, they don't have hard liquor! We got beer…and I got you bitches softer shit. I didn't get stuff to get you real fucked up!”
 
Rin shoved InuYasha's hand out of the way and pulled Kagome behind her while casually answering, “you didn't…Hiten did!” giggling at the thought of the glower on the hanyou's face, Rin didn't turn around until she reached the makeshift bar. Hiten had pushed the dresser out from the wall and had removed the mirror to pack away liquor and added two chairs in front of it. The boy was missing at the moment and Rin took open opportunity to catch up on her skills. “What do you feel like Kagome?” walking around the bar, Rin checked out the liquor situation. “Damn…Hiten knows how to pack it!”
 
Kagome laughed loudly then bit down on her bottom lip. “Shush, Rin…that's nothing you're supposed to know!”
 
Rin stared at Kagome for a moment, fighting down the mocking smile that was tugging at her lips. She counted to ten then pointed towards the dresser; “I meant the bar, Kagome…not…other things!” she nearly gagged at the thought then began to riffle through the liquor. “Again I ask, what do you want?” she paused and glanced over the flat surface at Kagome. “Oh…shit…you don't know, do you?” judging by the blank look in the girl's eyes, Rin sighed. “All right…do you want something sweet or sour?”
 
Kagome seemed to ponder the thought while Rin pulled out six shot glasses. Kagome held up a finger and opened her mouth then shut it as quickly and shrugged, “I don't…know.” The look on her face was priceless.
 
Rin gestured towards the empty bottle of Smirnoff in her hand and grinned. “How many is that for you? Four?”
 
Kagome stared at the bottle for a moment, as if trying to figure out if that was indeed what Rin was talking about then blinked. “Yeah…no…wait…” she closed one eyes then gasped and shook her head. “No, three…”
 
Rin laughed louder and pulled out a bottle of vodka. “Man, and you're already drunk off that? You really can't hold your liquor!” she hiccupped slightly and blushed feverishly.
 
Kagome pointed a finger and goaded, “neither can you! You've been all jumpy and what not! …Oh, wait…that's when you're not drinking…” Rin would have been insulted if Kagome didn't look earnestly confused.
 
Rin poured the vodka into all six glasses. She reached into the mini fridge that was offered to the room and pulled out a small container of orange juice and cranberry juice. She dropped a splash of cranberry into two cups and orange into the other two. Pulling out the Midori melon liquor, she dropped some into the remaining two glasses. Putting away the bottles with a spin of skill, and an obvious act of show, she grinned at her creation and slid the three in front of Kagome. “It's a stoplight!” Her grin widened as other's gathered around to watch. She pointed towards the green one and smiled at Kagome, “see…green, yellow and red. I'll race you! You just put it to your lips and slam it back!”
 
Kagome blanched slightly staring at the drinks. “Is this…safe?”
 
Rin hung her head, shaking it slightly before she grabbed the first cup. “Come on, Kagome. I've been a bartender for a year, I know how to mix my drinks!” taking all three shots in a row, Rin slammed them back with the ease of a natural lush. Kagome hesitated a second then followed suit. She laughed as Kagome's eyes widened as the vodka hit her head on. The girl wavered in her seat once and for a moment, Rin was worried she was going to topple over. When Kagome righted herself, Rin let out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding. Looking over her friend's disposition, she raised a thin eyebrow, “good?”
 
Kagome seemed to mull over her response before nodding, “hai, very good! Seconds?” she nudged the cup towards Rin who merely laughed.
 
Rin took back the glasses and put a red plastic cup in front of the girl then filled it with the ice they stored in the refrigerator. Breaking out the whisky sour and Midori melon liquor, she poured it into the cup then added some sprite. Mixing it with the stolen coffee stirrers from the lobby, Rin handed the cup to Kagome. “Drink up, it's good stuff!”
 
Kagome didn't hesitate to taste it. After a moment, and a deep sip, she pulled back and smiled. “I never knew there were so many different types of drinks you could have!”
 
Rin nodded slowly, “sure you did. We went over them in gym last year when I was learning, remember?”
 
Kagome stared at Rin for a long moment, blanking on the situation. Waving it off, she turned her attention back to the drink, “I like this…it tastes good.”
 
Rin grinned then made one for herself. “It's my favorite. Midori sour…good shit!” She raised her glass to Kagome and cooed, “Here's to me finally getting you drunk!”
 
Kagome drank to the toast then paused. “I'm not drunk! I'm only…well…tipsy…”
 
“Sure, Kags, and I am the queen of England!” Rin had learned to hide the stumble in her step and the slur of her words over the many times she had been wasted in Naraku's presence over the past year and a half. Though she was feeling quite well, the buzz had yet to fully hit her. She knew she was playing a dangerous game by drinking with effects from the meds she was on, still being in her blood, but she hadn't felt this good in a long time. She was sure she would be worshiping the porcelain gods in the morning but for now she wanted to party.
 
“How bout you mix me something good, gorgeous!”
 
Rin rolled her eyes and turned her head slowly to face Hiten. “What do you want?” she really wasn't referring to her position as bar tender. All night she had felt his eyes on hers, more so then any other guy in that place and she was feeling uncomfortable in the limelight. Besides, the boy's…parts…were just about hanging out of his pants from where Sakura made a sloppy job of clean up. At some point, Hiten had lost his shirt, undone his braid and lost his brain. He was definitely drunk and a drunken demon with long black hair and red eyes was the last thing she wanted to deal with.
 
Hiten rested his hand on the bar and leaned in closer to Rin. “Well…now that you mention it…I could use a good fuck.”
 
Kagome, who had been oblivious to the entire conversation, gasped and fell out of her chair.
 
Rin pressed her lips into a thin line, pulling her eyes away from Hiten's to gaze down at her friend. InuYasha was already by her side, helping her stand and shooting very menacing glowers of death towards the thunder demon. Rin turned back then smiled wickedly. “You want a drink? I'll mix ya a shot!”
 
Hiten laughed loudly and shrugged, “drinks ain't doin nothing to me, babes. Like I said…I need…”
 
InuYasha's growl punctuated the end of his sentence, “what did I tell you about fucking staying the hell away from them, Hiten? Do you want to wake up a bitch? I swear to god, I will have someone remove your balls when you sleep if you so much as talk to them again!” he ran a hand over his face and wiped away the thin beads of sweat that had emerged on his forehead. Turning back to Rin, he made a grasp for the bottle of whiskey in her hand. She pulled it from his reach. “Come on, bitch, give it up!”
 
Rin snarled as his hand came close and attempted to playfully bite him. “Keep back, Inu! You don't want me to bare my fangs, now do you?”
 
InuYasha laughed then snatched up the bottle of gin. “If they don't come in the form of Sesshoumaru's fist, I'll be okay. Damn…he'll kill me when he knows I got you plastered!”
 
Rin laughed and began pouring all sorts of liquor into a shot glass out of InuYasha's line of sight as well as Hiten's. Mixing Tequila, Gin, vodka, rum, Blue Curacao, some sweet and sour mix then lightly adding seven up, she handed it Hiten. Batting her eyes at him, she offered the sexiest smile she could manage…and it was enough to harden the boy's cock. “Drink up, baby; drink up!”
 
Before Hiten got a chance to take it, InuYasha yanked it from his hand and took it down as fast as he could. His eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat. He staggered once and latched onto the dresser, holding it as his rock in the midst of the hardest shot he had ever taken.
 
Rin's hand was still poised in mid air, her mouth hanging open with the unvoiced warning for InuYasha not to do that but he had been to fast. She grimaced, grinding her teeth together before slowly looking back to Hiten. `Damnit! Oh shit…'
 
Hiten was staring at his hand before lifting his eyes to Rin. “What was that?”
 
Rin blanched and blinked, hoping he was regarding the animal that took his drink. “InuYasha?”
 
Hiten shook his head, watching InuYasha stagger in his step and chuckled. “What was the shot?”
 
Rin sucked in air between her teeth and let it out slowly, “uhh…it's something I read online…a drink I really wasn't allowed to put together in the bar back in Tokyo.”
Hiten cocked an eyebrow as InuYasha sat himself on the ground, furiously shaking his head. He turned a bemused smirk back towards Rin, “what was it called?”
Rin fought back her laugh as Kagome just about fell of her seat to sit next to InuYasha. “Adios Motherfucker…kind of like a long island ice tea, except more potent.”
 
Hiten laughed then grabbed Rin's hand. The lust that surged into his eyes was enough to make Rin want to vomit. She tried to pull her hand from his then grimaced as he tugged her out from behind the bar. “Dance with me?”
 
Rin's eyes darkened as she tired to pull away again. “No. Let me go!”
 
Hiten laughed again in a hauntingly eerie way. Shivers raced up and down Rin's back as he smirked at her. “It was a rhetorical question.”
 
Rin's eyes darkened as fear surged through her mind. On a shot of absolute adrenaline, she sneered, “Want to have your balls inserted into your body?” Hiten's furrowing of the brows was her window of opportunity. Swiftly brining up her knee, she caught him in the groin. Watching with a satisfied smirk as his eyes widened and he instantly let go of her hand, she hissed back, “how's that for rhetorics, bastard?” she brought her foot to his chest and pushed him backwards, laughing as he crashed back onto the ground then curled up in the fetal position. She turned on her heels to walk into a near brick wall. Her eyes traveled up the nearly iron body to rest on a familiar face. “Oh…shit…”

<InuYasha; 10 beers>
 
InuYasha had enjoyed his position behind Kagome dancing with her ass pressed firmly against his groin. He had enjoyed it so much that he allowed them to dance for more then an hour before beginning to lose his cool. Watching Rin and Kagome had been hard enough, literally, before he had to get involved. Yet watching them still dancing so seductively with her body pressed against his was absolute bliss. But as all good things must come to an end, he chose to gain some more gratification. Taking an open opportunity, he turned Kagome her heels and into his chest. His hands instantly wrapped around her brushing between her back and Rin's stomach. His eyes met Rin's over Kagome's shoulder and he smirked. `Let's see if she keeps it up know that she isn't all over Kagome's front.' His eyes widened a fraction of an inch as she continued to dance behind Kagome, nearly oblivious to the switch. He made a face then latched his hands onto Rin's hips, pulling her in closer to Kagome and slowly began to dance again. It only took minutes for Kagome to realize just how this situation was affecting the boy and she did so with a loud gasp then a low giggle. Rin instantly backed away, as if it had been `girl language' for `something's poking me…' and danced her way off towards Kai. InuYasha took the opportunity to wrap one arm around Kagome's waist and the other onto her chin. Pressing his lips against hers gently, he moved his flesh along hers. “You look ravishing.”
 
Kagome blushed and closed her eyes. “This is nice…it's been a long time since we could just dance.”
 
InuYasha smirked and kissed her lightly. “I was right though.”
 
Kagome opened one eye and stared at the hanyou before pressing her lips against his in a chaste kiss. “About what?”
 
InuYasha's smirk widened into a sexy smile as he pulled her again her tighter, “you didn't get away from me, and you did go home with me.”
Kagome's mind warped back in a blur to nearly a month prior and the familiar situation they had been in then. Much like now, they had been pressed against each other, dancing to the rhythm in the air with an electric charge around them.
 
<I> InuYasha brought her face to face with him as they mixed the steps of their feet together. He leaned forward and nuzzled the flesh of her cheek with his nose. He gently kissed her cheek as he pulled her flush against his chest. He ran his tongue over the bottom part of her ear and sang the melody very softly in her ear, his voice enchanting her in a euphoric sort of way. “But if you think you're gonna get away from me, you better change your mind…cause you're going home…you're going home with me tonight…let me hold you, girl caress my body, you got me goin crazy…turn me on…turn me on” He pulled back and stared into her eyes with a lust filled gaze. She returned the stare as she lost herself within his amber eyes. His hands slid from her hips to the small of her back as he pulled her closer to him. He leaned down and ran his lips very cautiously over hers.
 
Her lips burned with passion as he brushed against them. She nearly cried out when he pulled back to stare down at her. She sighed expecting to find herself glaring into his oh-so-common cocky smile. She opened her eyes and nearly gasped. He was staring at her with a very calming charm about him. He gave her one of the first honest smiles she had ever seen come across him as he leaned back down towards her. `God, he really is perfect,' she thought as he brushed his lips against hers again, this time with a little more force. He captured her lips with his own and savored the taste. He opened his mouth to meet with the gape of hers and demanded submission from the girl in front of him. Letting him take over, she found herself melting into his body. `I feel like his arms were made for me,' she thought as she allowed him to kiss her. Soon the kiss became more demanding…more passionate. It was as if nothing else existed. When Kagome stared up at the hanyou, whose eyes were tightly sealed as his mouth explored her lips; she found them to be the only people in the room. No one else mattered except this man. Something kicked from the inside of her, screaming for her to realize that this is how she should spend the rest of her life; in his arms.</I>
 
 
Kagome's eyes fluttered open at the clip that rushed through her mind. `I was right…we really are perfect for each other. I don't belong anywhere else but in his arms!' resting her cheek against his lips, she sighed happily, “yes…yes you were right.”
 
InuYasha pressed a quick kiss to her cheek then pulled chin to face him. “And it better always be that way…you belong in my bed,” laughing at the sudden angry awe that swept across her face, he continued, “with me…forever.”
 
Kagome playfully hit him in the chest then grabbed onto his lapel. Tugging him forward, she crashed her lips upon his. “Kiss me, you jerk!”
 
And that was just what he did. What started out in passion only led to fire; the heated need between to lovers burned so bright it could have lit the room up with romance. Their lips crashed upon each other with wanton need, with a burning lust. Like waves on a beach, their souls clashed into each other, seeking shelter from the storms of life in the comfort of the others arms. Pushing his need deeper, InuYasha tasted from the back of Kagome's mouth, from the depths of her soul. He inhaled her scent, bathed in her beauty. His arms tightened and he paid tribute to the gods who lived in Nirvana who sent him his angel. He wasn't sure how long they were connected, his hands roaming her hips, her fragile arms wrapped around his shoulders, but he knew every moment would forever be engrained in his memory. It wasn't until Rin dropped the glass that their frail tranquility was shattered. He had half a mind to shove Rin into a closet somewhere and take Kagome back home…but wasn't that just what he promised Ryen he wouldn't do? With a loud scoff, he allowed Rin to drag his mate off to go get even further hammered. He knew Kagome was tipsy…maybe even drunk, but she was relaxed and out of danger.
 
Danger.
 
That was something that InuYasha knew lurked in very corner of this party. He had already had a lovely talk with Dachi and Hiori about their…involvement…with Kagome from a few weeks prior after they arrived at the hotel. Not seeing their faces accounted for; he was guessing they were still unconscious. He had never gotten the rightful time to put them into their places for Dachi's outrageous idea about raping Kagome; but when he walled out on the boy in the hotel room, he was sure they got the drift. Sesshoumaru had done a number on them but it didn't compare to the state he left them in. for a moment, he had wondered if he had killed them. He had begun to panic before their groans reached his sensitive ears. Knowing it was only external bleeding (more so because it covered his clothes), he had left them to think of the lesson they had been reinforced on.
 
And then there were two. Hiten and Bankotsu were a constant threat. Not that InuYasha thought that his two old best friends would actually harm the girls; he just didn't trust them. Bankotsu was less of a man-whore then Hiten but would still take the chance to fuck anyone that came looking. Hiten, though, would go out of the way to find all the girls at the party to make sure he got a piece of each. InuYasha had also noticed the boy's fascination with Rin the moment they had entered the party. InuYasha paused then turned to throw a hardened stare at the boy in the corner. What he saw made him freeze and roll his eyes in disgust. Hiten had one of the girls…Sakura, he believed, on her knees in front of him while he was making out with another girl from the squad on his left. `Man-whore indeed!' InuYasha rolled his eyes, leaving Hiten to mess with the other girls and trailed behind Rin and Kagome. `If he ain't fucking with Rin, I'm in the clear!'
 
“Looks like you've assumed the role of the bitch!”
 
InuYasha froze mid step and turned to glower at the owner of the degrading comment. His top lip turned into a sneer as he narrowed his eyes. “What the fuck do you want, asshole?”
 
Bankotsu stood up from the couch he had been casually resting against, his eyes trained on InuYasha the entire time he had been dancing with Kagome. “So now I'm down to being called asshole? Fuck Yash, that's cold!”
 
InuYasha sneered, “You're the one calling me a bitch. Don't start shit you ain't ready to finish, Bank!”
 
Bankotsu walked around from the couch and stood in front of InuYasha. “I don't want to fight you, Yash. This ain't about that.”
 
InuYasha didn't believe him for a moment. Instead, he held his beer by the neck of the bottle and crossed his arms slowly, “so what the fuck do you want?”
 
Bankotsu rolled his eyes and mimicked his friend's stance. “You know, you really got something shoved so far up your ass that you're acting like these stiffs!”
 
InuYasha narrowed his eyes and scoffed, “keh, you're just pissed that it ain't your dick, you whiny little cunt! You got something to say or are you wasting my breath for nothing?”
 
Bankotsu's eyes widened at the jibe and he growled, “Yo, I ain't my cousin! You want a dick shoved up your ass; go see Jakotsu. I'm sure he'll be more then happy to investigate!” he dropped his arms and stared off at the girls by the bar, “I can't believe one bitch changed you this fucking much. You're following her around like a fuckin' lost puppy! You've turned soft and shit…you won't do half the things you used to! You ain't the same person!”
 
InuYasha's grasp tightened on the bottle as the little control he had in his temper when regarding Bankotsu and Hiten slowly slipped away. “Listen, you little fuck…what the hell do you think I've been telling you?”
 
Bankotsu waved him off. “You know, by this time last year, you would have fucked her at least four times, probably would be laughing as someone else fucked her, and…”
 
He was cut off with a clawed hand around his throat and a bottle poised in front of his mouth. InuYasha's voice was venomous, his eyes flashing murder. “Unless you want to crunch glass, I would suggest you never say that again. If anyone…anyone…every touches Kagome, I will kill them!” dropping Bankotsu, InuYasha sneered, “You're the one who used to whore off your girlfriends!”
 
Shooting back while wiping his mouth, Bankotsu answered, “you're the one who used to fuck them!”
 
InuYasha felt his teeth grind together as he lost his control. “Listen to me, for once and for all! I am not, not , the same person I used to be! I am different, I am completely different; I don't do drugs, I don't fuck random people, I don't commit all sorts of crimes, I don't throw drug parties, and I sure as hell don't whore out my girlfriend!” he kicked Bankotsu lightly in the side, making sure his point was received. “You got any questions, cause I swear to the kami's; if I hear, out of your mouth, one more time that I'm not the same person, I will smear your face across the sidewalk! You got any questions?”
 
Bankotsu stood up and wiped off his pants, keeping a good distance between him and InuYasha. “Yeah, when did you become such an asshole?”
 
InuYasha stared at the boy for a long moment. Bankotsu adverted his eyes but InuYasha didn't miss it. The flicker of pain had been so fast that if he had blinked instead, he would never have seen it. But in that instant, everything made sense; and he felt like a monster. Bankotsu…his friend for years had come looking for his best friend. He had come looking for the guy he used to be, the guy who promised his `brothers' that he would be back as soon as he turned eighteen. Bankotsu had been so lonely that he was willing to relocate himself to be by his brother's side. And InuYasha kept kicking him in the balls. His mouth ran dry as his eyes slowly widened. He and Bankotsu were one in the same; they had been raised practically in the same fashion; abuse, verbal and physical beatings, starvation…dire circumstances that brought them together. When InuYasha had entered the gang, no one but Hiten and Bankotsu accepted him. They protected him until he was nourished enough to protect himself. But from the first day that Bankotsu had gotten them food they had become brothers. InuYasha could feel his ears falling to his head as he raised one hand. All the threats were drained from his voice leaving a very solemn tone to his words. “Bankotsu…I…”
 
Bankotsu turned icy blue eyes towards his friend and stepped out of his reach, “nah, man…it's cool…I get you now…”
 
The ease of his words grated on Inuyasha's already frayed sanity. Stepping forward, InuYasha attempted again, “no, Bank…you don't…”
 
Bankotsu knocked InuYasha's hand back and growled, “I get it, fucker…you ain't the same. Then stop fucking talking to me and act like the others; trash talk me and call me scum. Go fuck your pretty girlfriend and tell her how much you are in love with her. Yet, at the darkest hours of the night, just know that when you look into a mirror, you're still the same god damned person. Whether or not you chose to hide behind this façade you call a life, claim you're someone else so you can be accepted by that bitch and her friends…or just bullshit your way into her pussy….”
 
InuYasha's fist connected with Bankotsu's jaw with a thundering crack. It had been an inane reaction and one that InuYasha felt half guilty for as Bankotsu crashed back onto the couch. He grimaced and then hung his head to stare at the blood on his fist as if seeing it for the first time.
 
Bankotsu was stunned at first then wiped his mouth. Pulling back with a morbid fascination, he stared at his blood on his fingertips. Without lifting his eyes to the hanyou, he called, “bastard…I told you one you'd only get one free hit on me. That one was lucky. The next time you better be ready to swing cause I'll be coming at you full force!” he laughed suddenly, the sound like nails on a chalkboard to InuYasha. His teal eyes lifted to stare at InuYasha, filled with a daunting shadow of betrayal. His eyes followed the hanyou's to his hand and he laughed again. “What's the matter, InuYasha? You act as if you've never seen my blood on you.” removing his black bracelets, he held his hand wrist up towards the hanyou. A long clean scar ran horizontally across his skin, a reminder of a time when life seemed unbearable. And he would have gotten away with the suicide attempt, if his hanyou `brother' hadn't of entered the room and stopped him. “You forget, InuYasha…our blood runs in each other's veins. We are brothers, no matter how disgusting of a fact that is to you! You, me and Hiten are all blood brothers!”
 
InuYasha clenched his fist and closed his eyes. He had been sixteen and still pissed at the world. His American friends were dead and it was his entire fault; he had done nothing but gripe and lose himself in drugs and alcohol. He had ignored any problems his friends were facing back in Kyushu and turned his back to their pleas for help. When he had finally gotten off his high horse and decided to help Bankotsu with a `serious' addiction he had to crystal-meth, he had found the boy half dead with his wrist slit open by a envelope opener. InuYasha didn't hesitate to slit open his own wrist and press his blood into Bankotsu's body while screaming for Hiten. With the demon and hanyou blood in his veins, the human's healing abilities temporarily heightened and it was just enough to save his life. InuYasha opened his eyes and opened his mouth to apologize, to beg Bankotsu to see just why he had changed when a loud thud interrupted his thought process. Kagome was on the floor looking rather dazed and Hiten was dangerously close to Rin. InuYasha turned his back, yet again, on his friend and flew to Kagome's side. He didn't see the rage and pain fill Bankotsu's glare, but he could feel it searing into his soul.

<Rin; 6 Coors, 3 shots, 1 Midori sour>
 
 
Hands clamped down on her hips as she met a pair of teal eyes that seemed filled with a murderous intent. “Keep your fucking hands off my friend, Bitch!”
 
Rin's eyes widened as she backpedaled away from the human, only to have him grab her arms by her biceps. “Let me go, Bankotsu!”
 
Bankotsu laughed shallowly as his nails just about bit into her flesh. “I think you owe him an apology!”
 
Rin scoffed, “I owe him an apology? He's the one who was fucking molesting me! I think if anything that shit head should be groveling at my feet. But hey, now he doesn't have to worry about a constant hard on, now does he?” her eyes narrowed as Bankotsu raised his hand. She stuck out her chin and flashed him a dangerous sneer, “If you dare even think about hitting me…”
 
Bankotsu's eyes hardened. “What will you do about it? Bitches like you need to be smacked into place. Sesshoumaru has you thinking you're all high and might but guess what; you're not. You're human, just like me, and a whore.”
 
Rin inhaled sharply and yelled back, “go fuck yourself, asshole.” she turned on her heels, nearly sure he wouldn't be as stupid as to strike her when a hand latched onto hers and wheeled her around.
 
Bankotsu closed the distance between them and pulled her flush against his chest. “Keep running that mouth of yours, sweet heart, and I'll break it!”
 
Rin rolled her eyes and pulled at his hand. She was doing her best to control her fear but it was radiating from her like heat waves. She wanted nothing more then to go hide behind InuYasha and push him into battle. Searching for the room, why was it now that the hanyou had become nearly invisible to her? She searched through the mess of heads in the room, praying to catch site of that silver hair that stained her memory. Standing up to men had become something she found harder and harder to do by the hour, let alone day. She swallowed hard and grit her teeth together. “Blow me, Bankotsu! You're so fucking lame!”
 
Bankotsu put some force behind his hold on her wrist, bending it slightly back with enough pressure to make her cringe. “You really need to learn your place, bitch!”
 
“Let her go, now!” before Bankotsu could even figure out who had spoken, he was sent sprawling out across the floor, sliding into one of the tables legs and nearly having the entire thing crash down upon him. Looking back, a tall silhouette blocked Rin from his view.
 
Rin cringed, awaiting those words and equally ready to tell him to go to hell when she felt something breeze by her ear. She thought he had swung at her and she was ready for the impact. Closing her eyes, she waited… then the voice hit her like a load of bricks. “Kai?” she cracked open one eye and looked up to find the linebacker looming in front of her…protecting her.
 
Kai rolled up his sleeves revealing two sets of guns that Rin had never guessed the boy could have been packing. `No wonder why he's the captain of the squad!' forcing her trembling aside, she forced herself to her feet.
 
Kai swung around to glance at Rin and sneered, a feral glint to his normal tranquil gray eyes, “Rin, you want me to take out the trash?”
 
Wiping off her pants, she placed one hand on the boy's bare arm and forced a smile, “It's okay, Kai…he's just being a dick weed.” She narrowed her eyes at Bankotsu and then took a cautious look at Hiten.
 
Kai narrowed his eyes and sneered at the demon, “learn your place, Bankotsu, before I have to beat it into you! Besides…” he stared hard at the boy for a moment before pushing on, “you shouldn't even be here!” he swayed in his space for a moment and Rin realized with a slight roll her eyes that he was drunk as well.
 
Hiten clawed his way to sit against the table next to Bankotsu and flipped the drunken teen off. “Here, go make use out of it! Damn…that bitch packs a punch!”
 
Rin closed her eyes and turned to put a step between her and Kai. “Thank you…so much!” she let out a deep breath and began her search for InuYasha.
 
Kai looked down at the girl and smiled. “Any time, Rin…any time.” He took note of her frantic search and gestured back towards the bar. “You looking for the lovers?” Kagome and InuYasha, who were nearly stripping each other against the bar and he grimaced, “…uh…should we stop them?”
 
Rin opened her mouth to agree; both of the two had too much alcohol in them to be clearly thinking…not that it ever stopped them before. She wanted to be angry that InuYasha wasn't there to back her up…but maybe it was time for her to start learning how to defend herself. She opened her mouth then paused. The plot that formed in her mind was enough to make Kagome probably never speak to her again…if she remembered. `No, I won't tell Sesshoumaru that he left me unguarded…no, let them figure out how much they fucked up.' she smiled devilishly and sneered, “No…let's have some fun.” Noticing the blank stare she got in response from Kai, she wandered off towards the pair. InuYasha had his hand wormed under her skirt and Rin was sure that the look on Kagome's face was near bliss. She giggled and nudged the girl with her foot. Making sure her voice was none to quiet, she boasted, “yo, the whole room is watching.”
 
It wasn't like she was lying; the room had paused to watch Hiten fall at Rin's feet but had stopped paying attention shortly there after. Yet as expected, Kagome yelped and jumped off InuYasha like he was on fire and began to glance around the room. Rin nearly fisted the air as InuYasha stared at his lap for a moment then glanced up to where Kagome was standing. He was drunk as well, though he hid it nearly as well as Rin did. Forcing himself to his feet, he glanced about the room then at Rin. He sniffed the air once and furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you okay?”
 
Both Kagome and Rin answered simultaneously, “Yes.” They glanced at each other and began to giggle relentlessly again. Rin grabbed Kagome by her arm and dragged her back towards the dance floor, laughing as InuYasha followed behind them. With a wicked grin, she turned and held onto the girl's hands as she swayed back and forth slightly. “Hey….Kag?”
 
Kagome didn't answer right away, as her eyes closed and she lost herself into the music blaring through the speakers. Rin yelled again and only then did her eyes snap open. “Hai?”
 
Rin listened to the opening of the song on the radio and shot Kagome a wide, feigned innocent grin. “You want to have some fun?”
 
Kagome lifted her chin, obviously lost to the girl's meaning and titled her head towards her right shoulder. “What kind?” Rin's eyes told of her unvoiced dare. Kagome finally read her like a book and her eyes widened as she waved her arms in front of her like a bird trying to fly. “Oh no, Rin! No!”
 
Rin grinned and swayed with the music with her friend, “come on Kagome, you have to! He'd love it!”
 
Kagome stole a glance at InuYasha who was moving onto his twelfth beer and grimaced. “I can't…he would never look at me the same!”
 
Rin scoffed, “oh please! He'd be in heaven! I dare you!”
 
Kagome shook her head, pulling her hands away from her friend. “No!”
 
Rin raised an eyebrow and slowly pursed her lips, “I double dare you!”
 
Kagome shook her head then reached forward to put a hand across Rin's mouth and stumbled, nearly landing on her face. “Rin…I can't. Come on, besides…you're the one good at…that!”
 
Rin shrugged and backed out of Kagome's reach. “Yeah…but I ain't got anyone here to do it to!”
 
Kagome shook her head, “No, I ain't doing it! Yash won't resist if you do that to him but I can't…I won't!”
 
Rin laughed weakly and shook her head, “he's your boyfriend, Kagome! I ain't' gonna….”
 
Kagome shrugged, “I can't…he'll never let me live it down! He'll blame it on me being drunk then mock me about it!”
 
Rin looked over her shoulder at the hanyou who was staring at them peculiarly, probably because he was only hearing half the conversation. Snapping her head back, she grinned wider, “Come on…I triple dog dare you!” Kagome's mouth dropped and Rin goaded her on, “you have to now! You cannot just not do a triple dog dare!”
 
Kagome blanched and fidgeted with her hands, “he'll flip…and I thought you didn't what would be the…well…reaction. I told you we wouldn't….”
 
Rin shrugged and glanced around, “it's obvious that he wants you under him anyway so you might as well make him pine for it. Come on though, it's to good!”
 
Kagome glanced back at InuYasha as the music changed to be Ayumi Hamasaki's “Inspire remix”. She let out a deep sigh then nodded quickly. “I swear Rin…you owe me!”
 
Rin made a face as she walked back towards the hanyou, “you say that now! So…what are you waiting for, go drive him crazy!”
 
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~
 
<Kagome: 4 beers, 4 shots, 1 Midori sour>
 
Kagome giggled then sauntered towards the hanyou. Seeing his eyes latch onto the swing of her hips, she nearly lost her nerve. `How did I let her talk me into this? Damn…what am I getting myself into?' she felt her mouth go dry as she approached her lover. Lifting her eyes to his, she felt possessed. Whether it was the wanton need that still remained unfulfilled in his eyes that burned like the sun or the longing in her loins, it didn't matter. With a firm push, the hanyou went backwards into the chair in back of him. Luckily for Kagome, it was a desk chair that had no arm rests. Armrests always got in the way. She shot him a sexy short smile and took his hands in hers. She moved on to straddle his lap and placed his hands under the seat of the chair. “These stay here. You cannot touch, got it?” A part of her was happy that she was drunk…she wouldn't really have to remember this come tomorrow. She could feel that she was blushing all over her body; being this was something she never ever did in public…or private. It was something her and Rin had created once when they were completely bored.
 
InuYasha cocked an eyebrow at her and slowly sat back, a smile growing on his face. “All right, princess…” he dug his nails into the chair's plastic frame for good measure. To say he was intrigued was the understatement of the year.
 
Wasting no time, Kagome dug her heels into the floor for planting and thrust her hips against his. She closed her eyes and fell into rhythm with the music, leaving no questions over her ability to perform a lap dance. With skills she had learned from Rin years before, she pressed herself in the most intimate of ways with clothes on against the hanyou, running her hands through his silver tresses and down his chest. Matching the raging beat of the music, she worked her magic in devilish ways. She could feel the boy becoming rock hard underneath her as she brought her mouth to one and quietly sang the lyrics while her breasts lay just a few inches in front of his mouth. She could just about feel his body tighten beneath hers as he fought back the urge to tackle her. She then turned herself around with the beat, grinding her ass into his cock as she ran her hands down her body, grazing over her breasts and down her stomach. Half of the crowd had stopped to watch and Kagome once again fought down her scarlet blush. She could hear the barely audible whimpers from the boy behind her as she turned herself back around and ground her core against him. She met his eyes and thrust again. The sparks that were flying through her eyes met his and ignited a passion that both were sure would last for hours on end tonight. Whatever happened from this point on, Kagome knew she was in for a long and rough ride…and she was never turned on more. She turned once more to have her ass on his lap and dropped back to slap her thighs and roll to her left, throwing her head over his shoulder to nip at his exposed neck.
 
Never had she seen him so submissive to her actions. With a nudge of her jaw, his head would fly to the direction she demanded him to turn to. She rolled her hips with a snap against his then with a hand behind her back, traced a path from his Adam's apple down the valley of his chest, through the middle of his rock hard abs to land on his hardened length. She have him two hard strokes behind the privacy of her back before letting go and swinging herself back around. She heard his deep grunts and the growling that was echoing against her chest increased. His gaze became darker, tinted by red, as the sweltering passion that was welling between them lashed out. She kissed him gently, taking her time as she swabbed his mouth with her tongue. She enjoyed being in control like this, but it wasn't something she could get used to. She could see the promise of retribution glowing on her face and she would lie if she said it didn't make her wet to think about. She blushed as he sniffed the air then shot her an incredulous look.
 
InuYasha stared at the girl on his lap with all but his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Every time she grazed his lips with hers, he would try to sucker her into a deeper kiss. He had made a promise not to touch her but he would be damned if he was going to keep it. Growling lightly as she ran her hands down his chest while dry humping his cock, he sneered, “fuckin tease…Kagome…you're begging to be fucked hard, you know that right?”
 
Kagome blanched slightly and brought her mouth to his ear, “it's a dare…I'm sorry…” she let her tongue dart out of her mouth to trace his ear and instantly felt his cock jump in reaction. She smirked and blew lightly on the appendage before pushing her hips against his and grinning like a mad cat. She brought her lips down to his cheek and gently kissed him before running her tongue over the skin then up his cheekbone.
 
InuYasha moaned with the attention Kagome was granting him and dug his nails into the chair. He was sure that the plastic was buckling under his claws. “Well…consider me daring myself to fuck your brains out tonight!”
 
Kagome laughed lightly and pulled back as the music slowly came to a stop. She rolled her hips against him one more time for good measure before trying to stand up. That's where she made her first mistake of the night, next to turning on an already horny half demon.
 
InuYasha released the bottom of the chair that was in near ribbons and brought one hand to rest on her hips and the other shot up under her skirt. Slicing her underwear in half between her legs, he brought her crashing back down into his lap with awing speed. With a sadistic smile, he smashed his lips against her with brutal force. This wasn't about sweet and sensual motion or love; it was about him gaining back the control that she had ripped right out from under his feet. His fingers danced over his zipper and within seconds, he had her suspended in air right above his member. Her skirt covered most of the action but it was hard to miss the grimace of pain and the howl of lust that resonated on both parties as InuYasha slammed her full force down onto his cock. Locking his feet around hers, he latched onto her hips and growled, “Put your hands on my shoulders, Bitch.”
 
Kagome nearly screamed when he impaled her but the pain was so quickly subsided by lust and the need to be filled, that all of her feelings went straight out the window. Swallowing hard at the near feral tone, she immediately responded. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder. She helped him at first, rising herself on his cock only to have him pull her down by her hips to slam into her. The first thrust nearly knocked the breath out of her as her eyes widened and she squeaked not much unlike a mouse. Trying to regain her breath while he continued the bombardment of his body into hers was nearly impossible. She found herself beginning to see small-multicolored dots as she leaned forward to press her forehead against his shoulder.
 
InuYasha growled as her head came in contact with him and she shot back up. His eyes burned into hers as he pounded into her harder. He lowered his mouth to her neck to dig his teeth into the flesh on the right side of her neck. Not breaking the skin but enough to leave small red marks where his fangs were, he held her in place while he fucked her. That only lasted a moment before he sealed his mouth around each mark; tracing over the wound with his tongue then sucking at it heartedly, he was sure she was going to have four very dark and nearly painfully hickeys. When he was done with her neck, he brought his face to meet hers. Their eyes locked and he pushed on harder, daring her to cry out or slow him down. Her walls clung to his cock like a vice grip as he slammed in and out of hers. Like a good bitch, she submitted to him and took what he was dishing out to her. Her nails bit into his shoulders as he picked up the speed. Outside of the world where only they existed, he could feel many sets of eyes watching their interactions; laughing, pointing, whispering, he knew they were once again the spotlights. But this time…this time it wasn't his fault. No, Kagome brought this on.
 
Moaning loudly, Kagome threw her head back as her first orgasm of the night wracked her body. Kagome grinded against his cock while riding out her intense orgasm, and she attempted to goad InuYasha to follow in suit.
 
`Oh…stupid girl…she really thinks this is going to be over this easily? Does she not know who I am?' InuYasha laughed as her eyes widened as he continued to thrust into her. Her juices made the feeling more electric, more complete and he found himself pounding into her harder and harder. Each thrust hit her back wall, sparking a small yelp from the girl as their hips grinded together. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he had to relent or else she would not be walking for weeks. A growl built in the back of his throat as Kagome unexpectedly began to meet him thrust for thrust, allowing him to burry himself deeper into her body. He was very near throwing her off his lap and turning her onto her hands and knees but allowing her to reserve some dignity, he closed his eyes and roared out. White hot cum splashed against her back wall, filling her body, and sent Kagome into another orgasm.
 
Coming down off the rush of adrenaline was the next battle. Sweat and sex covered the two as they sat together, foreheads pressed against each other. Kagome was panting, InuYasha was gasping for air and refusing to move. First off, he felt like his cock was going to fall off if he so much as tried to move ever so slightly and second, he realized with much horror, that he left red welts on Kagome's hips and back, shredding through the material she had called a shirt. Kagome, on the other hand, was wrapped around InuYasha like a second skin. She was shivering with the after effects and sweating like a pig. She shuddered once and swallowed hard. “I…”
 
InuYasha kissed her forehead and grimaced as he lifted her slightly. He was ready for seconds but not here…not like this. Without looking around to see who was watching, he removed his flaccid member and tucked it away in his pants before slowly sitting up in the chair. “Baby…do you know what you do to me?”
 
Kagome laughed quietly before groaning, “Now I do…”
 
InuYasha lifted her to sit sideward in his lap and rested his chin on her forehead, “Princess, that was amazing.”
 
Kagome giggled lightly and pressed her lips to his hand that rested on her shoulder. Suddenly she found herself feeling very dizzy…and not very well at all. “Uh…InuYasha…” she slapped a hand to her mouth as she lifted her eyes to meet his.
 
InuYasha heard her but something else struck him first. Rin was nowhere to be found. He sniffed the air once but he was sure that she wasn't there. It wasn't the alcohol inhibiting his senses…she was simply…gone. His blood froze in his veins as he snapped his head back and forth, frantically gazing through the bodies around them; nowhere…Rin was nowhere to be found. Amber eyes opened to the size of saucers. `Oh shit! Oh, shit…'
 
“Inu…”
 
InuYasha muttered incoherently in Kagome's direction as he slowly slid her off his lap to stand up straight. “Kag…Rin, she's gone!”
 
Kagome blinked as his words sounded like Latin to her. She pushed her other hand to her mouth, as she was sure she slowly turned a shade of gray. “Inu…”
 
Slamming two hands into his hair, InuYasha turned in all directions. “Oh fuck…I'm dead! Shit!” He gazed at Kagome and paused, “Are you okay?”
 
The Inu-hanyou was not fast enough to avoid that….
 
~*~*~**~*~*~*~****~*~*~*~
 
<Rin, 8 Coors, 4 shots, 2 Midori sours>
 
Rin laughed lightly, her hand resting on the boys shoulder as she turned her back to the rutting couple. She hadn't honestly expected that reaction from the hanyou but it didn't surprise her. Rin finished off her Midori sour and fought her way to her feet. The room was most definitely past spinning as she now felt like she was the one who was spinning. She knew she was swaying ever so slightly in leaned against the bar. Her eyes met the demon's and she faked a wide, drunken smile. “Can you…you…take me away from here?”
 
Red eyes met hers and a flash of a sexy seductive smile was the result, “baby…I'll take you anywhere you want to go.”
 
Rin laughed and slapped Hiten's shoulder. “You're to cute. But really…take me out to the city… I want to go out!”
 
Hiten stood up beside Rin and took her arm, walking her towards the balcony on the other side of the room from where InuYasha was. Hiten had dedicated himself, quietly, the first time he laid eyes on Rin, to get down her pants. He was determined to fuck her. Not to mention, being able to gloat that he fucked Sesshoumaru's girlfriend weighted heavily on his conscious. Reaching the balcony, he wrapped his arms around the drunken girl's shoulders and lightly kissed the shell of her ear, “baby…you sure you want to go out. There is so…” he trailed needy kisses down her jawbone on a course for her lips. First he would seduce her, then fuck her in her bed…then make her pay for what she did to him. Oh, she would not be sleeping tonight. If they thought how InuYasha had just been fucking Kagome was brutal…Inu had nothing on him.
 
Rin yelped and pulled away from the boy before he could reach her lips. Keeping in character, she leaned over the railing and giggled mindlessly, “Oh, it's so high up here!” turning glassy wide eyes towards Hiten, she gave off a high pitched giggle, “don't let me fall, Hiten!”
 
Hiten latched one arm around her waist and smirked, “I'll never let you fall, koibitto!”
 
Rin laughed and tapped him in the shoulder lightly. With a loud sigh, she turned her head to the wind and let her hair free of its bounds. She nearly laughed as her mane whipped around and caught Hiten in the face as the wind wrapped around them like a blanket. Putting on the phoniest voice she could manage, she threw her arms out to her side and spun around in a circle. “Show me the sites of the city, Hiten! I want to explore everything!”
 
Hiten grinned and picked her up off the ground, “I'll let you explore something, Princess…”
 
Rin nearly gagged. Forcing on the smile, she laughed again. “You're so bad!”
 
Hiten laughed and jumped off the balcony, landing on the street with no problem. He latched onto her hand, intent on dragging her to his motel where no one could stop them. “Come on, baby…I'll show you a real good time.”
 
Rin glanced behind her, satisfied that they were at the hotel's entrance then ripped her hand from his. Letting the façade of a drunken innocent girl melt, her icy demeanor returned with a vengeance. “Actually, I really don't want to see anything you have to offer me. Thanks anyway…now you can run along and go fuck yourself.” She turned on her heels and marched towards the hotel lobby.
 
Hiten stood statue still, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Did she just…oh hell no!” Hiten reached her before she could get to the glass door. “What the fuck was that?” Grabbing her arm, Hiten turned and slammed the girl against the building.
 
Rin grunted with the impact, fear flashing through her eyes for a second. She knew it was a dangerous game…a very dangerous game. She had wanted out of the party so bad that she had made sure Kagome and InuYasha were preoccupied before she got herself time to sneak out. She was going to have Kai walk her out but remembering the tape on the doors* and the fact that Kai had passed out, she had to find another way. Hiten was her best bet, though he was a wild card. If he wasn't as drunk as she though him to be, he could easily overpower her. She swallowed hard, realizing her plan backfired. All she wanted was to be away from the party and on her own. Sure, she could have gone back to the room but then she would have to face Kagome. She was going to get her own room, or sleep on the patio sooner then going back. Kagome would have her head when she realized that they saw a tactic towards Rin's escape. But now…now there was a serious problem. “Hiten…I…”
 
Hiten lifted her away from the wall only to slam her back against it once more. “What, you thought you could get your fucking way again by acting like a whore? Damn…you really need to learn your place! I ain't one to force girls to do shit but I just might make an exception for you!”
 
Rin's eyes widened as the threat of rape lingered above her head for the second time that day. Swallowing hard, She pushed against his arms, “I'll scream! I'll scream and InuYasha will come running. Not to mention, we're right in front of the …mphhf…”
 
Hiten crashed his hand over her lips and smiled wickedly, “no one will hear you scream!” he brought his face down to meet hers and stared deep into her eyes, “listen to me, Bitch…you're about to get the fucking of your life!” his claws went straight to her hips then paused. She could see the pure anger in his eyes, the hatred in his aura but he still wouldn't push his limit. With a snarl, he crashed his fist into the wall right next to her head. “You bitch! You're such a fuckin whore! Damnit, is this why Naraku `raped' you?” the word raped seeped from his mouth masked in sarcasm and his fingers spread quotations around it. “Did you play cock tease to him to many times and he decided to be a man and take what you offered? Is that what happened? Did you simply jump into his bed then decide it to be a bad idea?” shoving the shocked girl harder against the wall, his eyes darkened, “Bitch! You probably sucked his dick and didn't like the taste! Or were you more of a whore to him then Kikyo and just got pissed that he still wanted Kagome? You know…that's all you are; a replacement. You want to bet all the times he fucked you he was seeing her? How many times did you get off from him tying you up or hitting you? How many times did you beg him to go harder…to fuck you deeper?”
 
Tears leaked down the girl's cheeks as the demon tore into a fresh wound that she felt would never heal. Her throat became so dry that she could it nearly impossible to swallow. Her jaw quivered as she shook in his clutches, “I…no…no!”
 
Hiten laughed viciously as he shoved her again into the wall, “I bet you loved every minute of it…but probably found out that Sesshoumaru had a bigger dick so you've been playing the helpless little vixen card! You're a whore admit it! You wanted Naraku to fuck you! You wanted to be the center of attention in everyone's life! Slut! You're nothing but a whore!”
 
Tears were now coursing down her cheeks leaving a raw path of absolute pain. “No!”
 
“Admit it!
 
“No! Never…I didn't want…no!”
 
“You begged him to fuck you, say it!”
 
Rin could feel her chest constricting as she fell into deeper more hysterical sobs. “No…no…please, stop! It wasn't like that…it wasn't like that at all! I never…never…” she felt like everything was closing in on her; her breath was in ragged pants and she was feeling dizzy and faint. The world was spinning out of control for her. What he was saying was striking raw nerves like lightning and the shocks were deadly.
 
The rest of the action was slightly foggy to Rin. The tears had mixed with her mascara and had put a blur on the whole action of what was going on. Hiten was yanked backwards off his feet and thrown into the opposing wall. There were a few loud grunts and the sound of bone smashing against bone that made Rin cringe. Arms wrapped around Rin's shoulders and hauled her to her feet. She wasn't sure when, but she realized in that moment that at some point she had slid to the ground. Wiping her cheeks, she inhaled sharply as moonlight cast a shadow onto the scene. Bankotsu had Hiten by his neck, pinned against the cement wall, Hiten's right wrist bent at an ungodly angle and his nose clearly broken, and blood soaking his face. InuYasha had Rin cradled lightly against his chest, his body blocking most of the vicious onslaught of one friend versus another. Rin shook her head once, her mind flowing into a thick haze. `I can't be this drunk…Bankotsu would never attack his best friend and…and…this just can't be!' she blinked once…again…then screamed. “Stop! Stop it! No, Bankotsu, no!” she pulled out of InuYasha's arms and ran towards the two. “Stop!”
 
InuYasha reached out and pulled Rin back, staring at her as if she had grown three heads. “Rin, no! Let Bank beat the shit out of Hiten, he deserves it!” Turning eyes towards the girl, he growled, “What the hell were you thinking?” he shook Rin once and grabbed her shoulder to look over her. “Are you hurt?”
 
Rin opened her mouth but nothing came out. `Just what the hell is going on?' she stared at InuYasha for a long moment then grimaced. He was in a pair of sweatpants and was shirtless. Either he had just crawled out of bed to come looking for her or he had just crawled off Kagome to come looking for her.
 
Bankotsu dropped Hiten unceremoniously to the ground and turned to face Rin. “What the fuck was you doin'? Are you stupid?” stalking towards the two, Bankotsu raised a fist, “I should beat some bloody sense into you, Bitch!”
 
InuYasha put out an arm and stopped the man at an arms length. Turning his eyes to stare at Rin, he growled in response to the human's statement, “It's a good fucking questions, Bankotsu. What the hell were you thinking, Rin? Have you gotten to know anything about Hiten over these past few weeks? You don't play fucking games with him!”
 
Rin snorted and ripped herself out of InuYasha's grasp once again. Wiping away her tears, she sneered, “Oh, that's rich. It's the girl's fault that a guy can't control his dick. Real rich, Yash…real rich! It figures…groups of fuckers flock together, ne?” she scoffed again and pulled away from the two men.
 
Bankotsu nearly jumped on her. “What the fuck, Bitch? We save your scrawny ass and all you can do is bitch at us? If we agreed with that shit head, we would have let him have his way with you!”
 
InuYasha held out a hand and stopped the boy mid rant. “Rin, are you okay?”
 
Rin stared at InuYasha for a long moment before sniffing again, fighting down tears and the urge to run into the hanyou's arms. The need to be in Sesshoumaru's arms never hurt so much. She wrapped her arms around herself and took a step towards the entrance to the hotel. “I…”
 
Bankotsu lit up a cigarette he just about pulled out of nowhere and glowered at the girl. “Look, Bitch…I don't like you, but what I hate more are guys who fucking kick girls,” he turned and to emphasis his point, kicked Hiten hard in the ribs, “about shit they can't control!”
 
InuYasha's eyes darkened as he reached out to lay a hand on Rin's shoulder. “Rin…you're not a…”
 
Rin pulled away and nodded curtly, “I know.”
 
InuYasha didn't believe her. Turning on his heels, he walked back to Hiten and dropped onto his haunches. Pulling on the boys braid, he yanked his head out of the dirt. With probably one of most feral glowers Rin had ever seen, InuYasha hissed, “apologize, now!”
 
Hiten snarled at the hanyou and took a feeble swing. “Let me go, you cock sucker! That bitch ought to realize what the fuck she is!”
 
Bankotsu inhaled softly then dropped to his knees in front of the boy. Grabbing Hiten's chin, he hauled the demon's face to stare up at him. “What she is, is a bitch. But who the fuck are you to go around calling her a whore. Have you looked in the mirror, Hiten?”
 
Hiten scoffed and spit out a wad of blood on the ground, “I fucking know I'm a man-whore and I'm proud of it! This bitch whores herself to others then calls it rape!”
 
InuYasha growled but Bankotsu beat him to the blow. Punching the demon in the jaw, he stood up and walked toward the entrance. He paused by Rin and put out his cigarette on the building. “Don't think I'm doing this for you, Bitch…cause I ain't. But what he said is unforgivable. No girl asks to be raped…no girl lines herself up to be hurt like what that sleaze did to you. Yeah…I've done bad shit in my life but I've never…I wouldn't….” he hung his head and scratched behind his ear, never once turning to look at the awestruck girl; “I never thought Hiten would say shit like that to anyone…and it's probably cause he's drunk, but it doesn't make it true. Don't believe it for a minute.” He closed his eyes then walked into the lobby.
 
InuYasha watched him go, still suspending the unconscious Hiten by his shirt. He let the boy fall to a heap and walked towards Rin cautiously. He knelt down to where she was sitting and offered her a hand, “come on, I'll take you back up.”
 
Rin shook her head once, wiping her eyes as she worked her way to her feet. “No…”
 
InuYasha grunted and grabbed her arm to steady her out. “Look…you're obviously mentally inept to make wise decision tonight so I'm flagging you.”
 
Rin growled and pulled herself out of his grasp. “Fuck you…I'm not nearly as drunk as you are. Don't forget who was fucking someone in front of a group of people!”
 
InuYasha rolled his eyes despite the smirk that played onto his lips. “Look, I ain't gotta be drunk to do that. But I ain't stupid. I ain't letting you wander around here, Rin, by yourself.”
 
Rin once again out maneuvered the hanyou and walked towards the lobby. “I'm going for a swim. After that, I'll come back up and knock on the door.”
 
InuYasha shook his head. “No way, I promised Fluffy I wouldn't let you out of my eye sight. He'd kill me.”
 
“He'll never know.”
 
InuYasha scoffed, “fuck no!”
 
Rin shrugged and backed up another step, “I don't give a damn what you say, InuYasha. You can't control me!”
 
InuYasha smirked and took another step towards her, “I ain't trying to control you; I'm just trying to keep you safe!”
 
Rin rolled her eyes and turned her back to the hanyou, “keep Kagome safe…” closing her eyes, she whispered, “she's the one he wants.”
 
InuYasha narrowed his eyes and tilted his chin towards his chest, “wait a damn minute…don't you fucking think that anything Hiten blabbered is true.”
 
Rin laughed hollowly, “oh but it is. I was a fuck toy to Naraku because he couldn't get what he wanted. I'm a replacement to Sesshoumaru for the girl he lost and I'm a shadow to Kagome cause she has you. What do I have, InuYasha?” before the hanyou could formulate words, she continued with tears misting her eyesight, “I'll tell you; nothing. I have nothing. My family's dead…my friends have their own lives…I'm nothing.”
 
InuYasha grimaced at the raw pain that dug grooves into Rin's face with each tear that spilt. “Rin…”
 
Rin scoffed and turned around, “save it. Now go find Kagome and protect her…protect her with everything you hold dear.”
 
InuYasha shook his head, “you think I'm gonna leave you like this? You think I'm gonna leave you by yourself? You got another thing…” his jaw clamped shut as his eyes slightly widened.
 
Rin turned around to face the hanyou and screamed, “Just go the fuck away! I'm so sick of everyone pretending to care! Just leave me alone!” she turned and blindly fled into the lobby and past the crowd that had amassed in the doorway.
 
InuYasha gawked for a moment, having a hard time pulling his jaw up from the floor then sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Asking the figure closest to the door that had emerged with the shouting match, he asked cautiously, “What the fuck do I do now?”
 
~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~
 
<Still Rin….>
 
Rin ran down the corridors of the hotel, blindly running and following her nose towards the chlorinated smell. She wanted to jump into the pool and drown herself. Her body hurt, her lungs burned and her heart was surly shattered. What that bastard Hiten had said went right to her wounds and ripped them open with a red hot vice. Everything that she had bottled up, everything she had dared to think at the darkest of hours was searing names into her brain, calling her a whore and a slut. It was her fault that this happened…it had always been her fault. Instead of dealing with it, she played off her problems onto Sesshoumaru and Kagome. She dragged her entire group of friends into it and nearly cost them their lives. Slipping off her heels as she pounded through a wooden door, she threw them to the side. By all technicalities, the pool was closed, but that didn't stop her. Someone didn't lock up and that would be used to her advantage. She didn't even take off her clothes as she dove head first into the water. She slowly began to swim laps, ignoring how much her lungs were begging her to take a rest. It had to end…everything hurt too much anymore for her to function. Yamaoto wasn't helping…the meds were sending her into delusions, and Sesshoumaru was being burned throughout it all. She broke into a breaststroke as her arms felt like they were about to fall off. `I'm so sick of this…I'm so sick of being weak and being hurt. I'm so sick of hurting others! I need to get away…I need to leave!' a sudden pang hit her and stopped her dead in mid stroke. Treading water, Rin's eyes filled with tears. `I can't…I can't leave Sesshoumaru, I love him so much! Can I really wake up every day knowing that I should have been in his arms?'
 
A darker part of her mind battled with her, hissing in sheer bitterness, `he's suffering and all you can think about is yourself! You really are a bitch! You flaunted yourself around Naraku and were upset when he took what you offered and now you wonder why it is destroying Sesshoumaru. It's because he knows you're a whore who slept with that hanyou filth and yet you won't go near him. You don't love Sesshoumaru, you couldn't love him; you can't love someone who treats you like a human being, because you're not one! You're a cold, heartless bitch! You want someone who will treat you like shit, who will use you and then cast you aside. That's why you left with Hiten, you were hoping he would fuck you like Naraku used to! You little whore…that's all you are!'
 
`no! it's not like that at all!' Rin couldn't believe she was arguing with herself in the middle of a pool…or at all for that matter…but she had to. she had to do something before she went insane. `Sesshoumaru stays with me because he loves me! he stays by my side to help me! my friends…they…they want to help me! I push them away but they never leave, they want to help!'
 
The voice cackled, `they feel obligated to help! Look at you; you're pathetic! Swimming in a pool with all your clothes on at one o'clock in the morning. You should just slice your wrists open and get it done with!'
 
Rin shook her head, and dove underwater. Something inside of her body and her heart snapped. But it wasn't like before…no…it was much different. The normal cold feeling that accompanied her harsh rationalizations wasn't there. Suddenly she felt her heart slam against her rib cage, threatening to break out. No, this wasn't a cold or painful feeling; it was warm…it was filled with hope and faith, compassion and a sudden enlightenment that could only come from becoming completely fed up. The voices that had argued with her from the first day that filth had touched her seemed to drown out in her own screaming declaration. `No…I didn't offer Naraku anything! Stop saying that! It's not my fault…it's not my fault! I'm sick and tired of believing that it is! I'm sick of being the victim! I'm done! I…I'm going to get past this! I'm going to go home…and I'm going to tell Yamaoto to shove these pills up her ass! I'm going to tell Sesshoumaru everything and I'm going to be happy for once damnit! For the first time in nearly two years, I'm going to be fucking happy!'
 
Somewhere a voice still argued, still resisted, `no…you won't. You'll always remember, always fear it happening again! You'll fear him hurting you so you'll push him away. Give it time and you will go to Naraku! You will return to him!'
 
Rin sneered and pushed off the wall to being swimming to the other side of the pool. `Fuck off! I will never return to him! I'm with Sesshoumaru…I love Sesshoumaru! I…I love Sesshoumaru!' she stopped dead in the middle of the pool and kept afloat by kicking her feet as her eyes widened, “I love him…I love Sesshoumaru with all my heart!” though she always knew it, though she had said it a thousand times, this time it felt like someone dropped a brick on her. Suddenly she found her arms had just about failed her. Her head went under and she inhaled sharply. Her body nearly stopped responding as water filled her lungs and her eyes widened. Whether it was the meds or the alcohol or the burden of everything, her body chose this moment to malfunction. `No…not now! Damnit…no…' she tried to clamp her mouth shut but it burned too much. The water pressed like a weight against her as she sunk lower to the bottom. `No one knows I'm here…I'm going to drown! Oh shit…no, please god no!' her eyes stung as she tried to push off the bottom. Her body tensed and a pins and needle feeling shot through every inch of her skin. It was as if something else was controlling her…someone else. Whatever it was, she couldn't control her body. She thrashed around once, the burning need to inhale was racking over her body. `I'm going to die and never be able to tell Sesshoumaru…'
 
She was suddenly jostled harshly, vividly aware of arms that wrapped around her waist and hauled her towards the top of the pool. As they broke surface, Rin exhaled sharply and began to sputter and cough. White hair cluttered her face as she molded herself to the body in front of her that was holding onto her for dear life. She coughed and sputtered again, hacking up water from her lungs. Somehow she regained mobility in her limbs but that was the furthest thing from her mind. `I was saved…again. I'm going to get my chance…I can make this right!'
 
Arms pulled her harder into a firm chest as she closed her eyes and buried her face in the crook of his neck, pushing the collar of his shirt out of the way. `Something…something's not right…this isn't…' her breath hitched in her throat, only making her lungs burn once again. `InuYasha wasn't wearing a shirt!' her eyes snapped open and without lifting her head, a name slipped from her lips that resonated off the empty rooms walls and echoed like a clap of thunder. “Sessh...Sesshoumaru?”

*- I know teachers in my school did it when we went on trips; to keep kids in their rooms, they would put a piece of tape on the outside of the door as a seal. If the kids left their rooms after `lights out' then it would break and in the morning, teachers would know who was in deep shit. That's what Rin was referring to under the `tape on the door' comment.
