Chapter 2:
The perfect home
It has&nb sp;been three months since they moved into his father's home. Adjusting wasn't easy, especial ly
when his younger half-brother moved in as well. Just two days passed since his arrival and he was
looking for another place to stay. Raising his daughter i n Inuyasha's and his buddies presence was not
an option. He literally had to throw them out on a few occasions when they got drunk. Drowning them
in the pool had crossed his mind a couple of times, but his&n bsp;aging father wouldn't be too pleased to have
bodies floating around in his pool.
Sesshomaru stood at the kitchen table, newspaper, laptop and phone within reach. His head had
developed a constant headache&nb sp;over the last two months. He rubbed his temples in fruitless attempt to
sooth it. Small light feet hurried ins ide the kitchen, stopping just past the door. He looked up to find his
distressed daughter looking at him with worried eyes.
"Rin." she adverted her eyes and fidget nervously. "Come," he extended his arm to her and she obliged
climbing into his lap. "What is it?" he asked in an even but hushed tone. Her lip quivered and tears
started gathering in her eyes.
"Otou-san," she started in her own emotion filled small voice. "We don't have to move." she finally said
after a short&n bsp;moment. He frowned at her words.
"What is this all about?" she looked to the side.
"Sofu can be difficult at times, and his house keeper is sometimes rude to Rin," his frown deepened at
the information. He will not let Rin be treated that way even if it meant getting in a fight with his
father. "and Inuyasha ojisan has a potty mouth but," the g irl gripped the sleeves of his shirt. "It's okay!"
tears slid down her cheeks, "It's okay papa, we don't have to move so don't try that hard for Rin!" he
was surprised by her words. How could he have been so eager to leave the house that he had missed the
weight he put on her small shoulders. He hugged her lightly and she stopped sobbing immediately even
if a few stubborn tears still slid down her cheeks. He sighed.
"Alright, just one more phone call and if it doesn 't work out we'll take a rest from house hunting." Rin
looked up at him with hopeful eyes and smiled.
"Rin wants to choose." she whispered wiping her eyes and cheeks with her sleeve. His eyes softened
and he gave a nod. "Rin knows just the house!" she grinned up at him and turned to face the table. She
lifted a finger in the air and made small circles. "Twirl and twirl Rin's little star, perfect h ouse come
out, come out wherever you are!" she sang and placed her little finger on a small advertise in the
newspaper. Sesshomaru chuckled at her but indulged her effort. He reached for the paper and read the
advertise as she settled in his lap again.
"Half of a Duplex house for rent in Ebisu residential. Bedrooms: 3, toilets: 2, bath: 1, Kitchen, Dining,
Living room, floor footprint: 60 sq.m. And a 280 sq.m. shared yard. For more information call: XXXX-
427-8342-511." he read it again and considered the property worth se eing. The first one in weeks.
Looking at the kitchen clock he read 8 p.m. Not too late to call.
"Worth a try." Rin nodded enthusiastically, as he reached for the pho ne. He dialed the number and
listened&n bsp;as it rang. After a few rings he was connected.
"Hello, you've called the H. residence, I'm not here& nbsp;at the moment, so leave a message after the beep
and..." the answering machine continued to speak. He sighed and was going to end the call when the
phone practically screamed.
"Wait!" it startled him. "Um... moshi moshi? Is anybo dy still there?" a female voice sounded from the
phone. He heard a sigh. "Great, just great, stupid door." the woman grumbled.
"Hai, I'm still here." he said when he thought she was hanging up.
"Really?" he suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.
"Quite sure."
" Hehe, well thanks for not hanging up. This&nb sp;is Higurashi residence, how may I help you... umm... sir?"
"Sesshomaru Tashio. I 'm calling about the ad you have in the newspaper. Is it still available?"
"Newspaper, newspaper... oh, yes it's still available."
"Good, I'd like to see the house..."
"But, don't you have questio ns about rent and stuff before seeing the property?"
"Ma'am, I'm looking for a place so I can get out of the nut house my brothe r had made out of the
current space I'm occupying. Money i s no problem if that is your concern..." he&n bsp;streamed despite his
usual self, weeks of torment showing in his more talkative state.
"Oh, no. The rent is quite low even a part-time employe&n bsp;could afford it." she laughed. "It's just that..."
"That?" he dreaded the&nbs p;possibility that the house would be in the& nbsp;worse condition possible.
"We have a dog. It has it's own kettle, doesn't run around wild or anything..." she hurried to explain.
"Most applicants give up when they see our... puppy..." her voice had a sad and weary tone to it.
"A dog is no trouble at all. When is it conveni ent for you ma'am?"
"Oh, any day after midday& nbsp;is alright." her voice brightened.
"Then tomorrow at 4 p.m.?" he asked preparing a piece of paper and pen to write the address down.
"Yes. Got pen and paper?"
"Hn." he confirmed in his own way and surprisingly she had understood him. He&nb sp;got the address and
exchanged other information with her. Then said goodbye to the lady and hung up. Sesshomaru looked
at Rin and smiled trium phantly. She smiled back. "We found a house." he stated the obvious satisfied
with how things started.
A/N: Thanks for reading, and a review would be great as well.
