InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ UnderAge ❯ Aunt Kanna's House ( Chapter 14 )

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

A/N: Sorry for the late update! Rin's point of view for this chapter again! Things you have to keep in mind. I have definitely received a lot of mixed reviews of this story. So I am going to address them all; the good and the bad. I would appreciate more reviews too in the future!
Some feel that the story is great because it is realistic: Kagome calls Rin a whore, she gets punished for her behavior and that is how people in real life are treated. Parents are humans too, they aren't like the ones on T.V. that never cuss and never yell and never say something that hurts your feelings; I wanted the characters to have a sense of realism, not to be fairy tale parents that don't parent Rin.
Some feel it is weird because Kagome is not the soft, sweet, understanding person that she is in the manga/anime. I agree she isn't, I grew sick of the Kagome that was the victim of everything; Kagome is a strong woman who balances both her career and her family so I transformed her into a strong businesswoman and her personality has to fit the role that she is playing. And she is doing her job as a parent, that's why she treats Rin the way she does. No one is perfect and she is acting weird.
Some feel that Rin is being slutty, and how she is using Inuyasha is not fair. She never once in the story told Inuyasha she loved him, or wanted him. She made it clear up front that is a no strings attached type of relationship, so though it is not fair she was honest about it. But Inuyasha is also not being fair. He is cheating on Kikyo with Rin, and he is also using Rin for sex as well. Is that fair?
Some feel that this story is unrealistic; because Rin is acting like a slut, she is using her body as a way to punish Sess for not being with her. She is not punishing Sess for not being with her. Yes Rin is OOC, but I never said this story was going to be in the original Kagome universe, as you all can tell this takes place in modern times so the story is going a more AU/OOC route. In the Anime, Rin was a sweet, obedient girl, but she was also a child during the Anime and I am showing her progress into teen years. In the beginning of the story Rin was sweet, nice, and quiet, because I wanted to show her transition. Her raging hormones and feelings for Sesshomaru caused her to change.
Sesshomaru is not some morally blind man who is preying after Rin; he is struggling to fight against his sexual urges. Rin is constantly pushing herself upon him, and he is losing that fight. There has been a lot building up to the point where he has come to this: Rin's constant advances, the fighting between Kagome and Rin, the arguments between him and Kagome, the failed attempts to get Kagome pregnant, the stress of his job, the stress of Rin (with her lying, sexual adventures with Inuyasha, skipping school, etc).
 
 
Aunt Kanna's House
 
Well being at Kanna's is both a great thing and a horrible thing. I haven't seen Sess since he dropped me off two months ago, but I have also texted him a lot. Inuyasha picks me up on the weekends, takes me visit friends, and then brings me home. I don't have many rules or curfews with Kanna. All I have to do is send her a text to tell her where I'm at. This life is way freer than the one I had with Kagome but I also don't feel like I'm family when I'm with Kanna. More like a renter.
“Hey Kanna, I'm going out! Be home at night!” I yelled, as I ran out to Inuyasha's car. He was there waiting for me, he had a smile on his face. I opened the door and hopped in, the heat was on in the car so I wasn't cold.
“Hey babe, how's it going at auntie Kanna's?” Yasha asked. I rolled my eyes, closed the door, and put my seatbelt on. I didn't want to discuss my home situation, especially with him.
“Let's not talk about my home live. How's it going with you and Kikyo?” I asked. Now it was Inuyasha's turn to roll his eyes and have an attitude.
“She's not half as good as you. I wish you'd let go of this other guy. I want to be your boyfriend Rin, and do you right. I can't stand having you as my friend with benefits. Come on, Rin” Inuyasha said. I could tell he was waiting for a response. But really I didn't know what to say; how can I tell him that it's his married older brother I want and not him.
“Yasha, you know you mean the world to me. I've leaned on you so much lately, and you've treated me so greatly. But you know we came into this relationship with clear intentions, we are never to be more than what we are today. Please don't be mad though, you know you have treated me way better than the other man has treated me” I said, I saw his hands grip the steering wheel even harder, then we stopped talking.
We arrived at my house, I needed to get more clothes, finish clearing out my room. Kagome's car was missing from the driveway.
“I won't be long Yasha; I'm not even talking to Sess cuz I can't believe he took her side over mine” I informed him before I hopped out of the car. I already had my bags in the trunk to load my stuff into. The key I kept on a chain still unlocked the front door.
“Kagome?” Sesshomaru called out.
“Nope, It's just little old Rin. The daughter who no longer lives here. I am here to get the rest of my stuff” I answered, running right up the stairs to get stuff.
“Rin, can I talk to you?” I heard him following me up the stairs.
“What is it god dad? I have Inuyasha waiting in the car” I replied, I continued packing stuff into the bag.
“I know you are mad that Kagome and I haven't worked out the living situation with you. I want you back in this house Rin, you know I do. But I can't argue with Kagome, she can't handle any extra stress right now. Sess said.
“Can you at least tell me that you love me? The way I love you” I questioned, turning to face him.
“Rin, you know that type of love is inappropriate for me to have for you. Kagome is coming home soon, so you and Inuyasha should hurry. Are you two dating again?” Sess asked.
“IT doesn't matter what Inuyasha and I do, it does not affect you anyways. I hope you keep your promise Sess, I want you on my eighteenth birthday, and I can't wait any longer” I finished, taking my two bags out to the car.
“How was it?” Inuyasha asked once I sat in the car.
“Fine, he didn't even bother to talk to me” I lied, pulling my phone out of my pocket.
From: Sess
Rini, don't be angry but I won't be able to see you on my birthday. Kagome has a huge thing planned for me. However I do have some good news. That is, if you want to hear it?
I glanced that over; how can there be any good news if I can't see Sess?
To: Sess
What is the good news? And please tell me it's actually good!
Inuyasha glanced over at me. He was taking me to our usual spot, his house.
“Rin, what's so important that you have to text right now? You promised that we'd hang out today” Inuyasha asked, he took a swig of orange juice right out of the carton.
“MY best friend is having a problem with her other friend, she needs advice and it's important” I lied, opening the new text from Sess.
From Sess:
Kagome's mother has agreed to take you in, you can stay with her and Souta for the rest of your 18 months in school. Would you rather stay there?
I sighed loudly. That was not the good news I was hoping for, I rather have it been that I can stay with Sess again. I didn't bother replying to that one. What's the point? I plopped down on the couch, and started fumbling with the remote.
“Why do all the gadgets in your house require so much work?” I complained, Yasha just laughed and came over to help me.
“We're a high tech family, maybe those months at Kanna's has made you pre-technology” he teased. I ignored him, and opened my phone.
From: Jiro
Rin, I was wondering if you had a chance to think about what we talked about yesterday.
I couldn't help but want to cave. I mean Jiro is a really sweet boy. And he could be that boyfriend that I could use as a cover.
To: Jiro
Yeah, I thought about it. And maybe we should start off just getting to know each other, as friends. Then maybe we could work our way up to dating. Wanna hang out after school tomorrow?
“Rin, come on! No more texting” Inuyasha said firmly, reaching out for my phone. I frowned slightly; I couldn't let him read the message.
“Hold on, just one more” I pleaded, and Inuyasha finally moved his hand.
From: Jiro
Sure, tomorrow sounds great. I'll ask my mom for the car, and I know you'll end up liking me just as much as I like you
I felt a little warm on the inside. But I didn't have long to relax. I set my phone to silent and locked it, and then handed it to Inuyasha.
“Finally Rin, I thought you'd never get off that!” He exaggerated. He put his arm around my shoulder and we watched a movie together. I guess time must have slipped by because I fell asleep in his arms.
“Wake up Rin, my parents will be home from work soon. Want me to take you home?” Inuyasha gently woke me. I smiled at him and nodded. He slipped out from under me, and laid my phone on the couch. I reached out for it, typed in my password and read my messages.
From: Jiro
Did you have an idea where you wanted to go tomorrow?
From: Shippo
Jiro told me you two are “getting to know each other”, don't play him Rin. I know you're with Inuyasha, and it's not good to lead two ppl on.
From: Kanna
Rin, it is getting late. I need to know where you are before I call Sess and Kagome. Reply ASAP
From: Sess
Kanna called us, where are you?
 
I couldn't waste time replying so I called Kanna first.
“Rin, what took you so long? I texted you hours ago!” Kanna said, almost sounding worried.
“I fell asleep at a friend's house, I'm on my way home now” I said.
“Too late, Kagome wants you over there to talk about it. They aren't happy with the way I've been raising you. Have Inuyasha drop you there. And then come home to get your things, you're moving in with Mrs. Higurashi” Kanna informed me. My jaw dropped. I hung up on her without as much as a goodbye.
“What happened?” Inuyasha questioned, but I ignored him and called Sess.
“What is going on?” I asked.
“Kanna called here a few hours ago saying she didn't know where you were, and she was worried. Kagome was the one who answered the phone, and after having a long conversation with Kanna, has decided to let you move in with her mother. You have to come over for us to talk to you. Did you call Kanna already?” He asked.
“Yeah, she told me the same thing. I don't want to live with Mrs. Higurashi, and I'm sorry I'm late. Don't make me move again” I begged, but Sess just told me to get over there.
“What happened?” Inuyasha asked again. I turned to him.
“Kanna called Kagome and told her I was missing. So Sess and Kagome want me to come over there, they are moving me in with Mrs. Higurashi for the rest of high school” I answered.
“Well at least she's closer, and it saves me gas” joked Inuyasha but I did not laugh.
“She is so strict, she probably won't let me go anywhere” I said, angrily.
To Shippo:
I'm not using Jiro. I need a real relationship, cuz Yasha is no good for me. But I may be grounded cuz I was out late and Kanna called Sess. I'll try and text you later if I have more info.
To Jiro:
I'm going to need a rain check for tomorrow. I think I'm gonna be grounded for awhile.
To: Kanna
Why did you have to call? And why lie and say you didn't know where I was?
Inuyasha grabbed the keys from the car, and we piled in. We drove in silence. I, sweating bullets, and he just trying to think of something to say that would be comforting. When we pulled up at the house, I just hopped out and went inside.
“Where were you?!?!” Kagome shouted. Sess was sitting down.
“At a friend's” I answered calmly, I couldn't let her see that she was winning.
“Why didn't you answer your phone?” She questioned. My phone vibrated loudly. She looked at me as if I was crazy.
From: Shippo
Jiro texted saying he got an instant message from Inuyasha. He said the message said you were grounded for falling asleep at his house while watching a movie. But he made us promise to be quiet and not tell anyone that you were still seeing him. Jiro is confused. Text him!
From Jiro
You were at Inuyasha's house? What were you two doing? What's going on Rin?
From: Kanna
To spare you the drama, Kagome was already furious. I rather not add insult to injury
I barely had but seconds to glance through the messages. Poor Jiro was going to wonder why I was with Inuyasha. He should have never opened his big mouth! I deleted the messages and locked the phone before Kagome grabbed it away.
“Who texted you?” she demanded.
“No one, just Shippo and Jiro” I said, it was a half-truth anyways.
“Where were you?” she asked again.
“A friend's. We were watching a movie so I turned my phone on silent. The movie was super long and after that we got some food and were talking, I forgot to text Kanna or turn the volume on my phone up. That's all” I replied.
“Don't lie to me Rin! I'm not stupid. I already called Izayoi and Inu No Taisho. They saw the text that Inuyasha sent Shippo and Jiro. You were with him, again! Did you sleep together?” Kagome asked.
“No, we were watching a movie” I said.
“Sure, he was just telling them that to keep what you two did a secret. How long has it been going on?” demanded Kagome.
“We have been friends on and off since we were children. You should know that by now” I said.
“Leave it Kagome, she's not going to answer so stop wasting your breath” Sess said coldly. I hadn't taken a moment to glance at him but he didn't have the usual façade on. He seemed truly angry.
“You are to live with your god grandmother, and obey her rules. You are not to see Inuyasha again, as a friend or otherwise. You better find new friends and a new boyfriend, or our next resort is to move you to a new city and make you go to a new school” Sesshomaru threatened, and I could feel tears welling up.
“But…I thought you loved me. Why would you do this to me?” I began to feel my voice shake. Usually Sess would have cracked and gave me a hug to calm me down but he just stood there stoically.
“You haven't received the tough love that you need, but you will get it now! Go to your room until we take you to your grandmother's” He ordered, and I could do nothing but rub away hot tears from my eyes and walk slowly up the stairs until I couldn't hear his voice anymore. It felt like forever in my room, with no way to communicate, but honestly it was only an hour.
It was Kagome that came upstairs, her eyes red and puffy.
“Time to go Rin” was all she said, I followed her lifelessly downstairs. Where I could see Mrs. Higurashi and Inuyasha in the living room.
“Rin, I am so sorry for getting you in trouble. I know this is my fault, and I've come to take full responsibility” Inuyasha said.
“She had a choice to go to your house, and she did not follow the rules Kagome and I set out. She must be punished” Sesshomaru cut in, entering the room.
“She had no choice! You and Kagome threw her out of the house like a flea ridden dog and left her alone and abandoned. I was the only friend that took the time and gas to go see her, she was lonely and just needed a familiar face to help her adjust to living in a new house with her Aunt. We honestly did nothing. I do not want or need Rin for that. She is someone really special to me. I know she's younger, but she has been someone I've wanted for awhile. I broke up with Kikyo after I dropped Rin off, and I am here to tell you guys today that I will not allow you to take Rin from me” Inuyasha said strongly, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was depressed, I would have been glad to hear this declaration.
“Rin was not thrown out of this house, she was removed from an escalating situation which you know already. She was getting too intimate with you, doing bad things like drugs and alcohol and throwing her future away. And I love Rin terribly, and we only want the best for her. We thought living with Kanna, away from you and other distractions would improve her grades and keep her focused on school. But I see it was not strong enough discipline to do what we had hoped. My mother raised me and helped me become the successful person that I am today, and I only want the same for Rin. If she still wants to be with you, after she has graduates from high school and turns 18, that is her choice. But for now she is our god child and we want her to focus on her education” Kagome said.
“I love Rin, just as much as you and Sess do. I don't want her ripped away from me like this. Don't make her move to a place where she can't see me anymore. I don't want to lose contact with her. Can you promise me that?” Inuyasha asked.
“Rin will be able to see you if her homework is done, chores are complete, grades are good and she is on her best behavior. But no more going over to your house without a curfew and adult supervision. I do not trust the two of you alone together” Mrs. Higurashi spoke up. Inuyasha nodded in full agreement, and he was about to go but I couldn't bare it. I broke away from the stairs, ran into Inuyasha, giving him a hug. He wrapped his arms around my back, gave me a kiss on the forehead, and then rested his cheek against my head.
“Don't worry Rin, I will wait for you” he whispered softly, and I don't think anyone else heard but me.
“Rin, I will do you one better. I will allow you to move back in, to this house, if you agree to only see Inuyasha when Sess and I are home, we also expect you to follow our rules and curfew. If you can do that, then you two will not be broken apart” Kagome said finally. I turned to her, afraid it was almost not true.
“I promise, whatever you say” I agreed, letting go of Inuyasha.
“Alright, I'll have Kanna bring your stuff back next weekend, and Inuyasha can come over after school around 5 when I get home from work. Sound good?” Kagome asked.
“Yes ma'am” Inuyasha replied, he gave me a kiss on the cheek and left, along with Mrs. Higurashi.
